E-Mobility Trends 2024
Trend #1: Long range is the new normal
Long-range vehicles are becoming increasingly common in the automotive industry. Not so long ago, the Tesla Model S was considered outstanding with its range of 600 kilometres. In the coming year, however, vehicles such as the Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric and the Volvo EX90 are expected to match or exceed this range, which will come as no big surprise to anyone.
In any case, in order to enjoy long journeys and relaxed driving, it’s a good idea to fully charge your car battery before leaving home. That's exactly what you can do if you have your own smart wallbox like the go-e Charger. You can even set how many kWh should be charged and during which time in the go-e Charger app. Try it out!
Trend #2: More electric cars with bidirectional charging capabilities
Car manufacturers are increasingly equipping new e-vehicle models with bidirectional charging capability, which enables them to both draw power from the grid and send excess energy to the grid, turning them into powerhouses on wheels.
This development is important for two reasons:
Some electric cars on the market currently already support bidirectional charging, but without the right software or affordable charging stations for private households, their potential unfortunately remains largely untapped. Until the technology is finally ready for the market, there are simpler, faster and, above all, more cost-effective solutions, such as the go-e Charger, which offers numerous practical benefits with its smart features such as dynamic load management and flexible electricity tariffs, for example:
Trend #3: Middle- and upper-class electric vehicles are becoming cheaper than ICE cars
According to ADAC, electric cars can be cheaper than petrol or diesel vehicles if you take into account the state subsidy and fuel consumption. But this money-saving advantage mainly applies to people who can afford mid-priced or more expensive cars. Small and very small cars still cost much more than electric cars. For example, a normal Opel Corsa costs €18,280 according to the price tag, but the electric version costs €36,395. The main reason for this large price difference is the high cost of the electric car's battery, which accounts for a larger proportion of the total cost in cheaper cars.
