What's The Big Deal About Electric Vehicles?
Gas had a lot more to do with the climate change issue than we previously believed. Now while there's no reason to villainize gas vehicles, it is important to learn their effect on the environment.
Vehicles are a large part of greenhouse gas emissions. The gasses come primarily from the use of burning fossil fuels for cars, trucks, ships, trains, and airplanes. Over 90% of the fuel used for transportation is petroleum based, which includes gasoline and diesel primarily. (EPA.GOV)
Politicians and environmental organizations are aware of this. To combat the rise of greenhouse gasses California has put laws in place regarding gas-powered vehicles. As of August 2022, California regulators adopted rules that would ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks by 2035.
This is even catching wind with other states. States with large metropolitan areas are planning on introducing similar policies.
Car companies are releasing more electric vehicles to coincide with these new policies. Mazda in particular is taking a new and innovative approach to EVs.
Mazdas Current Electric Vehicles
Mazda has a couple of iconic electric vehicles released recently, One being the new 2022 MX-30 EV Crossover.
One very important aspect of EVs is their fuel economy. On one full charge alone, the MX-30 EV crossover can go 100 miles. On this mileage, you could drive from Tustin to Los Angeles and back, all on a single charge.
The charging itself is very innovative. Charging could have taken 4 or 5 hours to get a full charge with Mazda's competition. The Mazda 2022 MX-30 EV Crossover only takes an hour. Say goodbye to waiting for your car to finish, and say hello to sunny drives on the California coast.
The interior itself is also doing its part for the environment. The MX-30’s interior is made with sustainable materials such as recycled thread and cork.
A big question many people have is “How is the battery life on Mazda EVs”. Well, on a Mazda EV you can expect 15-20 years of life. This also includes an 8-year battery warranty to make sure your Mazda battery is running the best it can.
What Are The Next Steps For Mazda EVs?
Mazda is planning on releasing the 2023 CX-60 as a Plug-In hybrid. This car will be very spacious and comfortable to drive. The only downside is this will be a Europe-only release. This isn't to say the US won’t be gaining new Mazda EVs.
The CX-70 debut is expected to be similar to CX-60. While details from Mazda haven’t been released yet many predict it will be a 5-seater vehicle with the same battery details as the MX-60. Caranddriver.com states “To go along with its more upscale bent, the CX-70 will have a nicer cabin than many similarly priced rivals. If the CX-60’s interior is any indication, it will offer fancy materials such as woven textiles, Nappa leather, and wood trim that make for an attractive dashboard design.”
The 2023 MX-50 is a highly awaited release. This vehicle is made for all things outdoors. The roof racks stand out beautifully and are extremely functional too. Many slats on it allow for easy tie-downs. It will also come in all-wheel drive for easy access on even the most rugged terrain. Being an EV means it will also come with amazing fuel economy that will last longer than most gas fill-ups.
Mazda is planning to add even more to its future lineup. Mazda's projection is to have 25% global production as EVs. They are also planning gas car reengineering to combat rising CO2 levels.
