After the Mii Electric, Seat is preparing a new generation of zero programs.The new El Born is the next on the program, but to have access to a more "accessible" model, it will be necessary to wait 2025 and a future model sold between "20,000 and 25,000 €".But on this date, the bonus could well be reduced to sorrow.
Seat makes a series of announcements on Monday which are of great importance.The Spanish brand intends to become the electric "hub" of the Volkswagen group since it plans to produce 500,000 electric vehicles per year in its Spanish Martorell factory.
In addition to the confirmation of the Cupra electric first, the Tavascan, the Iberian brand announces the arrival of an electric city car which will be sold between 20,000 and 25,000 euros, excluding ecological bonus, in 2025.
Seat, however, specifies that it will take the support of Spain and Europe for the Volkswagen group to reach this transformation.What support is it: financial, or other, in particular with a greater development of the network of charging stations?The press release does not say it, but we feel that Seat and the VW group do not want to throw itself to body and soul without guarantee of Europe.
The electric city car, however, seems almost to arrive "late", while some electric compacts arrive very slowly under the € 30,000.In 5 years, it is not excluded that other manufacturers will have electric cars at € 25,000 which will be more versatile than city dwellers.And it will probably be the full price that will have to be paid!Indeed, on this date, the ecological bonus may well have disappeared...
This Spaniard will in any case have a very important rival: the future Renault 5, which will be marketed in the same price range, and with the same objective of seducing homes for a second vehicle or for urban.
