Video Summary
Here is the summary:The new Mazda electric car is essentially the Mazda 6 turned into an electric car. Mazda is taking existing cars and converting them into electric cars because new emission targets are forcing automakers to increase EV sales in order to avoid huge fines.
Mazda may not survive beyond 2035 and may be taken over by someone at some point. There is a zero possibility of Mazda existing in its current state beyond 2035. Mazda is more interested in perfecting the internal combustion engine.
The global electric car from Mazda has a 68.8 kWh battery for the shorter range version and an 80 kWh battery for the longer range version. The smaller battery is an LFP battery and the larger battery is a nickel manganese cobalt or NCM chemistry battery.
The driving range for the smaller battery is 479 kilometers and the bigger battery is 552 kilometers. It is a good-looking car, it looks good on the inside and outside.
Both versions feature a single electric motor powering the rear axle with 180 kW of power and 320 Nm of torque which is about 250 horsepower. Zero to 100 is 7.6 seconds. Both versions can charge at 200kW DC. They charge from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes. The non-LFP battery charges in 45 minutes.
The Mazda 6e is developed for the European market but is under study for global markets. The UK won’t be getting this car until the first half of 2026.
The global export version is the Chinese-made Mazda EZ-6 which was developed by Chang An.
The Mazda 6e is a bit bigger than a Tesla Model 3, 4920 mm long. For the Chinese market, there will be an EV and a plug-in hybrid version. But the plug-in hybrid won’t be sold outside of China. The Mazda 6e has been developed for the European market but is under study for global markets. The UK won’t be getting this car until the first half of 2026. The Australian and Japanese car markets are also right-hand drive, where this won’t be sold either. Mazda doesn't want to pay fines, so it will sell the car where it will have to pay fines. To sum up: BMW sales have increased as they realize that EVs are selling. The Australian car market has no plan for the electric car model. Mazda may go the way of blackberry.
