Citroen CEO said that the EV world will be led by small and lightweight cars

According to Citroen CEO Vincent Coby, the world of electric vehicles will not be dominated by electric SUVs or mass-market EVs for a long time. According to him, the post-SUV EV world will be dominated by compact and lightweight cars. They also believe that government incentives will push for the same, eventually driving giant SUVs out of business.

This will lead car manufacturers to improve their product strategy and focus on compact and lightweight models, according to Autocar UK. The British automotive publication cited Cobb as reporting that using aluminum instead of steel would increase production costs for the automobiles. This will inevitably affect the sticker price of vehicles. They also said they are looking at other ways to grow the EV range as automakers explore ways to increase production costs. He believes automakers will focus more on making future EVs aerodynamic, as long, boxy bodies hurt efficiency.

According to Kobi, regulators will put the brakes on the SUV boom by limiting it Incentives are only for electric vehicles that weigh under a certain limit, forcing automakers to build smaller EVs sooner or later. It’s a very interesting sight from the French auto giant’s flagships, and this is also at a time when automakers around the world are Focus on making SUVs to generate wealth.

The need for EV

Consumers are increasingly interested in purchasing SUVs over any other type of vehicle. The hype is so great that automakers that have traditionally avoided making boxy SUVs are starting to make it onto the premium road. For example, luxury car brands like Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari and Lamborghini – all jumped on the SUV bandwagon to make more profit.

Apart from focusing on affordable EVs, the automaker is focused on design and efficiency. Olly was an EV launched by a French company. In the pursuit of efficiency through lightweight design and aerodynamics, there is a strong focus on building a car that eschews the large and heavy batteries of many current EVs. And it uses a number of new materials made from recycled parts, with the idea that the production version can be easily repaired and refurbished so it can be rented out multiple times – before being completely recycled at the end of its useful life.
