In the past year, Volkswagen successfully continued its transformation into a sustainable, software-oriented mobility concern and, compared to the previous year, almost doubled the sale of battery electric vehicles (to 452,900 vehicles). The share of these vehicles in the total volume of sales was 5.1 percent (previous year: 2.5 percent). It is already ahead of Tesla in certain markets, also due to the wide range of models and brands in the group.

We have it - Slovenian Car of the Year 2022, which this time was held in its 30th edition. Thus, in the jubilee thirtieth final of the Slovenian Car of the Year 2022 selection, we chose Toyota as the winner with the Yaris Cross compact SUV.
When in 2022 will we move the clock to summer time and when to winter time. As always, this year we will set the clock back twice. We will move it to summer time for the first time this spring and then to winter time in the fall. So in March 2022 and October 2022. We will still move the clock, because it is not yet known when the European Union will decide not to move the clock anymore.
Digitization provides an integrated user experience characterized by individuality and emotionalization in the interior of current BMW models. The so-called - my modes - allow the driver to fully adapt the interior atmosphere to his personal mood and the driving experience he wants. With the presentation of the BMW iX Flow with E Ink at CES 2022, BMW presents the possibility of future technology that also uses digitization to adapt the exterior of the vehicle to different situations and individual preferences. The surface of the BMW iX Flow with E Ink can change its shade at the driver's request.
Samsung presented an interesting portable project in the form of a small cylinder called Freestyle. It can handle 1080p resolution and will be available for $900. In Europe, we expect the amount to be comparable.

Therefore, they have been building a long-term transition to a new electrified mobility for several decades.
Slovenia is determined to follow in the footsteps of Norway, Iceland and Great Britain. Countries that clearly encourage the transition to e-mobility. This is also indicated by the latest move by the DZ upon the adoption of an amendment to the VAT Act, which allows electric vehicles used for business purposes to deduct VAT. But is this enough for a quick green transition?

Smartphones seem to have become the center of our lives. In any case, they have become the main screen that we look at more than other screens. We found a selection of 2021 phones that will be extremely relevant in 2022 as well. And they are a great gift for the upcoming holidays!
