Thread: "Електрически автомобили няма да закачат" – бившият шеф на Volvo

Стефан Джейкъби казва Хибридни решения са единствената алтернатива задвижващата система може да постигне значителни продажби през следващите 15 години. Чисто електрически превозни средства няма да станат основните продавачи в рамките на следващите 15 години, според бившия Volvo шеф Стефан Джейкъби.
I have made себе unpopular before by saying this, but I do not believe they have a включване application in the foreseeable future, said Jacoby, who left Volvo late last year and is currently pursuing other opportunities in the automotive sector.
The reasons are clear: the price, the uncertainty of what happens to the batteries as they lose charge-holding capacity and the emotional distrust of a car that can leave you блокирани on a highway in traffic and 40-degree heat are all problems.
Think how you feel when your mobile phone runs out of charge and theres nothing you can do – the feeling of sitting in a car that has run out of charge would be much worse.
Jacoby added that electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf, would likely only thrive in niche areas of society. Some countries have adopted them energetically, and legislation means that some niche applications will take off, such as with short distance taxis, but overall I do not believe electric vehicles will have a role in the next 10-15 години.
Instead, I believe well see hybrid vehicles dominating in different forms. Днес an 89g/km car is a reality without much assistance, and that would have been thought impossible even five years ago. The industry is бутане improvements that are affordable and convenient, and that is how I see the future of electric cars developing.
