Waiting For The Initial Testing Phases, The Caoa Chery EQ1 Electric Car Model Arrives With The Mission To Become The Cheapest Electric Subcompact Car In Brazil

During the launch of the Tiggo 7 Pro, Marcio Alfonso, CEO of Caoa Chery, confirmed in an interview that the brand will launch two entirely new cars in Brazil in 2022. The main launch is expected to be the EQ1, a subcompact electric vehicle model with only two front doors and a capacity for up to four people. According to Alfonso, the model is already in Brazil awaiting the initial testing phase. The CEO also stated that the EQ1, imported from China, arrives with the main goal of becoming the cheapest electric car ever launched in the country.

According to Caoa Chery executives, the price of their new electric car will range from R$ 100,000 to R$ 150,000. The also imported from China electric Kwid has already been confirmed by the French manufacturer Renault to compete with the EQ1 and other models next year.

Technical Specifications Of The EQ1

The EQ1 is in its most updated version. It features a 75 hp electric motor and efficient batteries with a capacity and range of up to 408 km, according to the NEDC cycle, being much more optimistic than the WLTP, which is more common among manufacturers.

According to basic factory tests, the EQ1 reaches about 120 km/h maximum speed. The body, made entirely of aluminum, measures just over 3 meters long and, even being a subcompact model with a cramped interior, there is a large 10-inch front screen positioned vertically.

Caoa Chery’s Plans For The Future

In addition to the EQ1 and the model launched in 2019, the Arrizo 5e, the Chinese Chery plans to invest in hybrid models with national production. The CEO of Caoa Chery has not yet confirmed which model will be chosen by the manufacturer’s executives, but it is estimated that it will be the fully updated Tiggo 8 model, which may be called Tiggo 8 Pro.

The Tiggo 8 Pro will bring a redesigned front end, better positioned headlights, and a hexagonal grille with chrome elements on its lower part. Super equipped with all-wheel drive, Caoa Chery stated that the Tiggo 8 – possibly hybrid – has enough power to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 5 seconds. What has surprised most in Alfonso’s statements is the promise that the fuel consumption of the Tiggo 8 will be over 100 km/l.

Caoa Chery’s Plans For The Future

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

US engineers create “road in a lab” to test giant trucks weighing up to 82,000 pounds without leaving the building, accelerating the validation of engines, fuels, and automation for Class 3 to 8 vehicles, and promising to cut time, cost, and risk in freight transport.

Avian flu returns to the radar of Brazilian agribusiness after FAO alert for Latin America, with more than 4,700 outbreaks since 2022 and direct risk to exports, farms, and health surveillance.

An expert says that teaching critical thinking from early adolescence can protect children and young people from the risks of social media, reduce vulnerability to scams, disinformation, and anxiety, and also develop creativity, autonomy, and skills increasingly valued in the job market.

A fossil remained forgotten for 70 years in a museum drawer — when re-examined with tomography, they discovered a 200-million-year-old predator with a bite that challenges what was known about crocodiles.
