Sanctions push Russian auto industry to 'get creative'

Take a look at the Moskvich-3, the newest Russian car that's come along thanks to Western sanctions. Well, to be precise, the Moskvich-3 is a Chinese car assembled in Russia under a well-known Soviet brand at a factory that was previously owned by Renault. In a way, this story encapsulates everything that's been happening in the Russian auto market since the onset of Western sanctions. Let's take a closer look at it

    Here in Brazil the Chinese brands weren't successful at first, JAC had a limited success and Cherry bombed (I always wanted to do that joke), but a Brazilian company buoyed halft the shares of Cherry and made the CAOA Cherry, which is somehow a success, Brazilians are very proud people, we like things taylored our way, hence the VW here is different from the German one, I guess the Chinese brands learned from us that national indentification is important to the brand, hence Moskovitz instead of JAC.

    Might be time to get your new car if you really want. Why ? The rubel has been loosing its value in the past 12 months by 56% against the chinese juan which means the prices will increase 5% per month and it does not look better even chinese production is also decreasing. The only workaround which we observe here are russians visiting germany to buy cars for import, there are a lot and always buying 1 car only, same for the truck guys that have purchased all the old 4x4 trucks and all those of use for military supplies, but that market has been closed and there are now restrictions in place . Only car for russians with the permission to enter EU can buy one car up to 50.000€ of value. And lot of them appear to buy even though it is a mystery how they are able to pay considering no one accepts rubel or Dollar , just euro. So might be time to prepare a decision cause chinese cars will become a lot more expensive and the used car market here is also still strong due to order backlog from the pandemic. Skoda and VW ICE cars sell still very well.

    We both live in Russia and know that buying an electric car here is a futile move. The only thing I encounter less than electric car chargers are foreigners. We have no infrastructure. Gas is €0.50/liter vs €2.00/liter in the EU. Plus, you know the true parking situation that most ordinary Russians face in the муравейники. I'm not a pessimistic person - but I don't ever see electric cars becoming common in Russia during my lifetime. Great piece tho! Really nice to see you cover the intriguing Moskvich.

    Agreed, in Europe, as you stated petrol/diesel are right around 2 euros, so it does make some sense going electric as you will notice savings after a couple or half a dozen years. In Russia it makes no sense since fuel is quarter of the price in EU, you would have to drive that electric vehicle for over a decade for it to pay off. Not to mention batteries probably would not like Russian winter.

There are also many other networks, like Mosenergo, Yandex, Plankt E and so on. And hundreds of private charging points. In total in Moscow region there are almost 1000 charging points.

    I think these electric cars could prove highly beneficial for your everyday short journeys, such as commuting to work or going to the grocery store, rather than being suitable for long trips. The upkeep costs are notably minimal, and you won't have to worry about car taxes or parking fees in larger cities, resulting in substantial savings. This is why the sales representative mentioned it as a potential second family car. In my residential complex, we already have a dedicated charging facility, and I've noticed a growing number of charging stations across the city, making charging increasingly convenient. However, I personally lean towards a more robust electric vehicle with faster charging capabilities.

    infrastructure is king when it comes to EV. But convenience is important too. Once moving to one pedal driving there’s no coming back, or at least that’s what my wife said after having her tesla m3 for a month. The quiet power the relaxed feeling while driving, those are the EV advantages. Also, after one year of having it we realized what a hassle gas stations are. For one year ownership we have used public charging stations about 8 times and for a long voiage it turned out that stopping every 200 miles or so for 30min is actually an advantage. Another thing I realized is with one pedal driving breaks will last life time. All in all i am not buying another ICE and not because the environment.

    NEVER EVER buy a battery car (they're not really "electric" cars anyway - they're BATTERY cars). In addition to cold weather start/running issues, they've been known to spontaneously burst into flames (even aboard transport ships (causing REAL problems) are MUCH heavier than petrol vehicles and are not as "cheap' to charge up as claimed. And even more, insurance companies are now starting to realize all the downsides and have begun to increase premiums and don't even think about how much repairs and replacements will be. This isn't about the electric motors, or other tech in the vehicle, it's about BATTERIES. Bottom line is that battery technology just isn't mature enough yet. RUN don't walk away. Just think about it this way - if the West is pushing it, is it something you want to do? My research tells me the Lada's have come a long way and are very reasonably priced.

    A very professionally produced film as always. My opinion on electric cars is that they're a scam and a joke. Over in the west they are already failing badly. They can't sell them because they are too expensive and resale values are terrible. They con you on distance they can actually travel before you have to recharge the car and if you are in the middle of nowhere, where do you charge? They are also not environmentally friendly like people think they are and the batteries can't be recycled and new batteries are like a cost of a new gas powered car. I could go on but you get the picture. But good for Russia over coming and adapting to foolish western sanctions.

    I do hope the Russian auto industry can get the kickstart it needs to produce vehicles entirely on its own. Given the circumstances, it seems they're doing the best they can. As far as electric vehicles go, it seems the concerns surrounding them are pretty universal. In America, I would not own one much for the same reasons you expressed here. I don't believe the technology is proven or efficient enough to be a viable replacement for gasoline or diesel vehicles. Though, for some they may be practical to have as a secondary vehicle, I personally would have no need for one. Thank you for these insights!

    Thanks for taking us on a very interesting ride. The Russian side Kamaz chose a weaker out of the top 10 Chinese automakers as partner to keep controlling interest while stronger Chinese brands like Chery would prefer much larger ownership in local manufacturing joint ventures. Now the Europeans and the Japanese have vacated quality Soviet-time autoplants for the Chinese to partner up with, better cars are being made or planned as we speak. Russia levies 50% import tax, shipping and registration cost another 20%, unfortunately the big price gap between two countries for the same car can't be arbitraged away. Love the red pioneer tie on the pretty sales lady. The translation for what the factory rep said after being asked if they were unhappy about the abandonment should read like "it is what it is.

    If you have a charging spot near your home or garage, city electricity price per kw would be much cheaper than gasoline. Charging stations around the city would cost 3-4 times more expensive than charging at home but still cheaper then gasoline. There are some useful apps mapping all the charging stations with their charging speed information etc. which you may find around you. Driving long distances such as Moscow-Peter can be tricky if there are no stations along the road or long waiting time to charge it ( even with gasoline it's a headache ).

    About the price difference: in Europe the difference between an electric and a gas car is not that much, because a gas will cost way more than in other countries. Cars have to meet the Euro 6 standards which requires complicated parts (selective catalytic reducter with exhaust fluid, particle filter, etc…) which literally adds thousands of € on each vehicle. I also suspect the durability of engine parts to be be longer on European cars (which costs more money, since those parts are operating in a tough environment, heat, mechanical constraints, etc… ) although this may be just wrong. Because of the difference becoming smaller, government helps are also getting lower in most European countries, while they were used to be generous the previous years.

    Wow really love your video's/ reports. As a car guy it's exciting to see 😊 Here in DK, we are going all in on ev, but there are so expensive but will be worsein a couple of year's when there gonna get hit with the Tax hammer like petrol cars.. petrol and diesel cars is also expensive and have a 150% tax on the buying price. No cheap cars here, and i pay 1000 usd a year in emission TAX for a 2018 Opel insignia 2.0 diesel, and it gets 18 km/l but our politicians HATE diesel.. So probably gonna get forced to get a EV next time😢 Also nice to get another perspective on things in Russia, then mainstream media here in Denmark 🇩🇰 Just today they made another piece in the news that now Western media now is allowed back in Russia but they're talking about many Russian journalist that's been arrested or fled Russia. Because of the new 2022 law putin made, so they say u cant say or be calling it a war in Ukraine, miscredit the military or make the country look bad or ask questions. So being a journalist is hard in Russia.. That just dont make sense when we see your Channel, because if it was true you would sadly be in prison. U have called it a war, showed us the sanctions consequence on the buying power and so on.... Just sad the west has that narrative. But could be interesting if you could make a video about free speech in Russia.

    I think Toyota got it right, with their electric/gas powered hybrid car they introduced many years ago. Improving on that type of vehicle as the years go by, would have solved many problems such as air pollution and more distance travelled. 😀

    Japanese manufacturers make a lot of hybrid cars, and have done for a good few years now. There are a lot of hybrid vehicles here now, as New Zealand imports new and used vehicles from Japan (we also drive on the left). Mine is a Toyota hybrid. Pure electric cars are still expensive right now, but they’re definitely going to supplant ICE pretty quickly. Then people stuck with those will be complaining about how hard it is to find gas, and how new mechanic’s don’t understand how to maintain their car. Talk to the guys who run coal-fired locomotives.

    Some manufacturers got it right and make profitable products, but some like Volkswagen are digging themselves their own grave shutting down gas powered vehicles to replace them with electric ones that nobody wants to buy. I think the right choice is to make cars that people want and not that journalists want. An attempt to please green activists will lead to the loss of jobs, which means people will live much worse, the green agenda is not worth playing with human lives

    Railway locomotives use diesel electric power to drive electric traction motors on the drive wheels. Using a gearbox like hybrid cars wouldn't work in a locomotive. The same diesel electric combination is used in submarines, stationary generators and the massive dump trucks used in mining.

    Electric cars in extreme weather are not the best cars to have. Using AC (air conditioning) or the heater, will drastically reduce your range. I owned one in the Phoenix Arizona area. Temperatures were in 46 to 48.5 in the summer and would get down to 5.5 or lower in the winter. I'm sure using the heater to defrost the windows of the car in Moscow would give you 100 km on a full charge. I used the heated seats per the driver's manual instead of the heater in the winter and the AC intermittently on my ride home. Going to work in the morning I endured the 32.3 degrees.

    EV users in winter in the cold regions of China will install a fuel heater by themselves. The fuel consumption is about 1L per day, but the performance of EV returns to 90% of that in summer. It sounds awkward, but it is still cost-effective.

I can personally attest to that as well, living in northern Sweden I have a 10-year-old Renault Zoe, which is the best winter car I have ever owned, it gets warm instantly with the built-in heat pump, so you never have to wait around for it to get warm.

    $37,000 is expensive especially for an electric car. Here in the states I think they run $50,000. I refuse to buy one especially if there is ever a power outage. Gas operated cars are about it for me. The $22,000 price tag for a gas car is about the same as in the states. You would think you might be able to get it for a little less in Russia. Maybe they will have some rebates or something.

    Why? For most drivers, it's all about the lower running costs. To charge my car form a hypothetical 0-100% charge is USD $12. $12 for 360 km of range. And that's driving aggressively at highway speeds. If I drive like a decent human being, I can stretch that to about 400km. Beyond that, the maintenance is tire rotations, cabin filters, and wiper blades - that's it. Regarding the 0-100% hypothethical range however, that's because you never go down to 0%, just like you never let your internal combustion car run entirely out of fuel. I plug in overnight on a daily bases and my electricity has gone up about USD$40, vs several hundred a month in gasoline. That's it. In practical experience, I drove 400km a short while ago in my EV to visit my family, and it cost me under $20 in electricity paying for public fast charging (at a higher rate than residential electric) - that's it. And in some jurisdictions outside of Russia, like the US, Canada, and Norway for example, there are tax incentives that can lower the effective price of an electric car to that of a comparable internal combustion car, if not lower.

    EDIT: Also the Russian Moskvich is ca. 35-40% more expensive than the Chinese JAC JS4 SUV. So, Moskvich has a history of not making their own cars, at least to a certain degree? The way I understand it is that some of the first models were designed after their western pioneering counterparts. However, they were still build in USSR by USSR. And now, all designs and DKD cars, as well as know how comes from the Chinese. Thus, the value add from the Russian factory is negative because disassembling and reassembling a car does not add any value but rather costs. Their plan to transition to SKD will result in using Chinese knowhow and almost all of the car parts, western machinery, and Russian software, manpower as well as steel to build Chinese cars with a Russian logo. This is more or less (excl. software) how the Chinese auto industry was in 90s. The whole operation looks more like a job creation measure with the hope of eventual knowledge transfer placing the Russian auto industry 30 years behind the Chinese and Western ones.

    This operation was indeed created to save jobs, but not with the expectation of a possible transfer of knowledge, since there is enough knowledge in the Russian Federation (look at the Russian Aurus Senat), but in anticipation of the development of its own platform, the construction of new plants for the production of aggregates. One of these plants for the production of ABS opened last month, and it has already been announced that they will be used in the new Moskvich and Lada Vesta instead of Bosch units.
