What is known about the electric car that Ebro will manufacture in Barcelona?

One of the most pleasant surprises of the Beijing Auto Show, currently being held in the Chinese capital, has been the presentation of the first electric car from Ebro, which will be manufactured in Barcelona before the end of the year, as confirmed by the brand. Ebro's new urban electric vehicle – which does not yet have an official name – takes the mechanical and technological base of the Chery QQ3, which has been on sale in China for a month.Ebro's first electric car will be a vehicle 4.3 meters long with a 90 kW engine (equivalent to 121 conventional hp) and a 42.7 kWh battery capacity, which should allow for real ranges of between 350 and 400 kilometers. This electric car is designed for urban and family use, as it sacrifices some performance to improve the car's comfort and range. The top speed will be electronically limited to 135 km/h (above legal limits in Spain) and it will have an acceleration from 0 to 100 in more than ten seconds, a discreet figure that shows its more family-oriented and cosmopolitan vocation.The main selling point of Ebro's first electric car will be its charging architecture, which allows it to go from 30% to 80% battery charge in just half an hour, thanks to Chery's V2L system compatible with power up to 6.6 kW. Beyond that, this electric vehicle will maintain the digital and technological interior design already introduced in the S700 and S800, with a large 15.6-inch central touchscreen and various assistance systems, driving aids, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) safety features, such as speed assistants, blind spot monitoring, and collision warnings with vehicles, bicycles, or pedestrians, among others.Unknowns to solve

The brand assures that this new electric car, the first from the Ebro brand, will be manufactured in Barcelona, taking advantage of some local suppliers and parts that will arrive from China, and that it will reach our streets before the end of the year. What Ebro has not yet provided is the definitive name of the car, nor the indicative price range where it wants to place its product.The new electric Ebro should be the brand's alternative to Renault 5 and the new Renault 4, and will be positioned below in price and performance compared to the Volkswagen ID Polo and Cupra Raval that will be manufactured in Martorell. In fact, its biggest rival will be the Chinese BYD Dolphin Surf, with a selling price range between 18,000 and 25,000 euros –promotional discounts and institutional aid aside–, far from the little more than 8,000 that the Chinese model it is derived from costs in the local market.
