The biggest star of this year's Paris Motor Show is definitely the Mercedes Generation EQ concept study, which heralds different times for the Mercedes-Benz brand. It responds to the range and battery problem that plagues all electric vehicles by promising a range of over 500 kilometers.
The Renault Zoe is one of Europe's best-selling electric cars, and the new Renault Zoe will only cement that status. On paper, Renault promises an electric range of 400 kilometers, but in reality we can expect 300. It got a battery that is half as powerful and a more efficient electric motor. It is a breakthrough in electromobility, as the Zoe will provide adequate range for all drivers (300 kilometers is the psychological limit in the minds of buyers). They will be able to comfortably switch to electric drive.

Once an invader, always an invader. Elon Musk, founder of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, is moving humanity to Mars! At the International Nautical Congress (IAC), the technological visionary presented his plans to colonize the red planet, which could be reached by the ITS spacecraft (SpaceX) in just 30 days. 200 thousand dollars will have to be paid for the "air ticket" to Mars. But Tusk warns. The journey is likely to be very dangerous and travelers must be prepared to die for it. The first vessel to go to Mars is said to carry the Heart of Gold, based on the fictional vessel of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book. Will humans already be an interplanetary garden in 2022? We recommend watching the presentation video!
For Peugeot, entering the world of cycling is nothing new. Did you know that it started manufacturing bicycles as early as 1882, and powered by an internal combustion engine eight years later? The production of cars and bicycles were separated in 1926, but in 2011 the French returned bicycles to the "mother" again. The Peugeot e-Bike eUO1s is not Peugeot's first bike, we only remember the AE21 hybrid from 2013 or the e-Bike eF01, which was presented together with the new generation of the Peugeot 5008 model, which can be integrated in the luggage compartment. Well, for more serious urban challenges, there is the e-bike Peugeot e-Bike eU01s.
