As we know, autonomy is undoubtedly one of the most important points to pay attention to when buying an electric car. Indeed, even if the number of charging stations is constantly increasing, the ability to travel long distances without stopping is an interesting and encouraging argument for customers. That’s why manufacturers are constantly working on developing larger and optimized batteries to consume less and offer better autonomy. This is thanks to innovative technologies, and some brands are also working on solid-state batteries, which have even more promise in the future. waiting car autonomy is already progressing well and should continue.

Strong increase
If some brands do not see the point of driving 1000 kilometers on a single charge, then other manufacturers see things a little differently. In particular, this concerns Volkswagen, which wants to significantly improve the autonomy of its cars. And this should include the development of a platform, frankly speaking, not entirely new. And it is not for nothing that the German company is finally planning to extend its service life SEM technical base. However, it will be deeply redesigned and will receive a new name, namely MEB+. The program has increased autonomy, which can reach 700 kilometers on a single charge for certain models.

Lots of improvements
But that’s not all. Indeed, this optimized and redesigned platform should also allow the cars that will be equipped with it, and in particular future Volkswagen ID.3 to take advantage of the more powerful and therefore faster recharging and then get between 175 and 200 kW against the current 135 kW. Quite a difference! We should know more soon, and a new version of the electric compact will see the light of day next year. Other models will follow, therefore, an electric SUV based on the ID.3..
