The first real electric car (homemade does not count) appeared in Belarus in 2013: the BESSION NISSAN LEAF bought and brought the company A-100 for demonstration purposes. A year later, the Komsomolskaya correspondent tried to understand his own experience how real in Belarus own and use the electric car.
Gradually, the number of electric vehicles in the country increased, increased interest in them. The number of charging stations grew, the VAT was abolished during the import of electric vehicles, and later - and customs clearance, writes Komsomolka.
Alexander Lukashenko became the topic. In 2017, heely Emgrand EV was presented to him. And at the disposal of the president turned out to be the most powerful Tesla for 250 thousand dollars, which Lukashenko tested on his birthday. Later, Lukashenko spoke about her as a gift for Ilona Mask himself, though the billionaire himself did not confirm. The president also noted that Mitsubishi and BMW traveled.
In Saban, the private company secretly built electric cars for Zhirinovsky and Putin.
Formally, the first Belarusian electric vehicle produced in 2014. We will remind, that year, the Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov turned his ambitious project "E-Mobile", the concepts of this car were collected in Minsk. Then patents for all developments of Prokhorov granted free of charge to the Russian state. And in the Minsk microdistrict, the Saban has an engineering center, where the development of the future of E-Mobile was conducted.
This car, by rumors, was intended for Vladimir Putin.
At the end of the same year, the news was killed: Belarusians secretly built four handsome electric vehicles who presented prominent Russian politicians, including the President of Russia! It all started with the fact that Prokhorov somehow promised Zhirinovsky to give E-Mobile. The project was coaling, and the promise remained. Prokhorov allocated a million euros for the development and production, as a result, four copies were built. The white color of Prokhorov ordered for himself, Blue gave Zhirinovsky, red, according to rumors, was intended for Putin, the fourth copy remained from the developers.
One Machine of Belarusian made gave Zhirinovsky.
The Academy of Sciences redested Geely into electric.
In 2016, it became known that the electric vehicle creates engineers of the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The first sample officials showed a year later.
The first electric car based on Geely Belarusian scientists have shown in 2018.
From the usual Geely sedan (such collected by the "screw out" way in Borisov) removed the gasoline engine, gearbox and gas tank. Instead, an electric motor inserted, and in the trunk - the electrical battery. It was stated that all electric filling besides the battery - Belarusian production. The developers told the "Komsomolskaya" that the engine for the car was made by the most Belarusian team, which worked on E-mobile - it is such modules on electric vehicles that gave Zhirinovsky and Putin.
On a closed presentation, the car was very praised by the then Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko:
"I didn't feel the difference: you're going to Audi A8, that on this car," he said.
The then Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Semashko very much pulled the car. He said that she was going no worse Audi A8.
However, the opinion of the Komsomolskaya correspondent, who sat behind the wheel immediately after the officials, turned out to be different: to serial imported electric vehicles are still far away, the sample was very raw. But he was planned to improve, and someday even launch into mass production.
However, the opinion of the correspondent of Komsomolki, who sat behind the wheel immediately after officials, turned out to be different: to serial imported electric vehicles are still far away.
The car was really finalized - the battery was transferred from the trunk under the bottom, as Lukashenko advised, and the stroke reserve increased to 200 kilometers. But now on the car, apparently, the rates are no longer done, there is no speech on serial production.
In the Chinese electric minivan, while one Belarusian detail.
Another sample of our electric vehicle first lit up in the territory of the Joint Engineering Institute at the end of 2018. It turned out, Belarusian scientists bought the Chinese electrominivan Joylong Ifly EF5 is a copy of Toyota Alphard Sample 2002.
In Chinese electromani, which bought Belarusian scientists, while only one Belarusian block.
Over time, they wanted to put the components of the Belarusian production in the car. For example, the electric motor wanted to do on Mogilevliftmash, the inverter - on Novopolotsk "Memer", the battery - in the United Institute of Engineering. And in September 2019, and at all promised to establish the production of this model at the Yunson factory under Minsk. But production did not start, and from the Belarusian units, only the battery control unit appeared in the car.
The Chinese Baby Zotye E200, gathered under the Minsk "screwdriver", bought only 9 Belarusians.
This car was shown to the public in February 2018. Zotye E200 Double Baby Externally - Gender Brother Smart. The car is so small that the driver and the passenger are sitting almost on the rear wheels, and a maximum of two packages from the supermarket will fit into the trunk. Collect the machine with a screwdriver (when the engine and suspension are inserted into the machine and screw the bumper and headlights) on the "UNIXON" already wanted since May 2018. Belarusian spare parts in Zotye electric vehicles are not, even Chinese tires.
Chinese Baby Zotye E200 did not like Belarusians.
Plans were ambitious: already in 2018 wanted to collect and sell 3 thousand such cars. But for the year only 20 cars were collected, and they sold only one - the state bought a car to "dogs" and presented it to the hospital in Ivie. In the 2020th in Belarus sold 9 instances of Baby.
Electric sports car: from the garage to the Academy of Sciences
Ten years ago, Minsk motorist Dmitry Kabanov decided to make a double racing car: he cooked a frame, installed a suspension, engine and a gearbox from Mazda. In 2018, Dmitry "Under the wing" took the Academy of Sciences. The gasoline engine was replaced by electric (imported too) - so homely became a promising electric sports car. In May last year, this was not until the end of the assembled Roaster was among the copies, which demonstrated Alexander Lukashenko. A more finished version did not show so far.
Last year, the Belarusian Roadster was not until the end, Alexander Lukashenko was shown.
ACADEMIC ELECTRO PIKAP is not for general roads.
The last Belarusian novelty is the Double Pickup ACADEMIC Electro from the same united Institute of Mechanical Engineering.
The development of the car was spoken in 2018. It is known that, as an example, Belarusian scientists considered the Russian car "Bear" - this is a long-suffering and unsuccessful development of 30 years ago. Based on a metal frame with plastic body parts. In 1997, thought this simple cheap machine would become a real folk car. But it did not come out.
As an example, Belarusian scientists reviewed the Russian Mishka car is a long-suffering development of 30 years ago.
In 2002, the documentation for a million dollars offered to everyone in a row - even our Belarus. But the Zhodinsky plant refused. Later, as it turned out, one copy of the Mischi was from the Engineers of the Academy of Sciences.
Pickup ACADEMIC ELECTRO is made according to the same scheme: metal frame with plastic "body kit". Last spring, another unfinished car was shown to the president. The final version was shown on the "Day of Science-2021". Many cars recalled Suzuki Jimny - apparently, with its bright-salad color and round headlights.
The Belarusian pickup is positioned as a commercial car - for the carriage of goods weighing up to 350 kilograms. Battery capacity - 20 kWh, and the stroke reserve is about 150 km, the car is charged for two hours. In motion, the car gives an electric motor with a capacity of 58 kW (this is about 79 horsepower) produced by Bosch. In the cabin there are also many elements of third-party manufacturers. For example, the mode of switching mode from the Nissan Leaf, the steering wheel and the door handles from Geely, the seat from Lada Xray, the mirrors from Lada Granta.
How it goes this car (and whether it goes at all) - it is unknown, a wide public was shown only in the statics. At the test drive to journalists, this pickup is not given too. Interestingly, according to the developers, the machine is not intended for the movement on public roads - only for closed areas, such as enterprises. The first copy wants to send to the Botanical Garden.
The machine is not intended to move on public roads - only for closed areas, such as enterprises.
Independent experts say that Pickup type body is unopullen in our territories (its market share is only 0.3%). And for the disposal of small cargo and goods, commercial "LADA LADA LARGUS or Volkswagen Caddy format is better suited.
What do garage homemakes look like?
Own electric tractories are trying to make it easier in their garages. One such copy was tested by the Komsomolskaya correspondent.
In 2012, ordinary schoolchildren in the garage array on the outskirts of Grodno made a three-wheeled "kibitu". The frame was welded from a metal channel, the body is shape of fiberglass. Wheels from the moped, the steering wheel from the old Audi, the panel from Opel Kadett, the windshield - from "Kopeika", seats from children's swings. In the motion "Kibitka" leads a small electric engine production of the GDR, which isted from four car batteries.
In 2012, simple schoolchildren from Grodno made a three-wheeled "Chibeque" - she immediately experienced "Komsomolka".
On another self-made "Komsomolka" wrote in 2019. The 28-year-old Minsk resident Sergei Rusakov in his garage built an electric car on the basis of an old Citroen: he inserted a motor from the electric loader and 240 batteries.
