2022 will be the year of the invasion of electric cars from China, but completely new bets are also coming, such as the Olymp Ares. A 100% electric SUV developed in Austria with an appearance as futuristic as it is elegant and sporty that promises serious arguments to turn the market upside down, with a range of 700 kilometers.
It is not just Chinese brands that are on their way to flooding the European electric car market, but local manufacturers themselves have found a new competitor. Is named Olympia and is an Austrian-based company that has already officially announced its intention to raid the market for zero-emission models, with a very suggestive offer. So much so that it has already revealed one of the first to enter: it is the Olympia Ares.
The creators are based in Austria and in Athens, Greece, and they do not hide their intentions: they are committed to establishing cooperation ties with specialists in China electric motors and battery manufacturerswhile for the design they have chosen Italy, without specifying a stylist, and pointing production to Slovakia. The start-up has announced that the first model to land in Europe is called Olymp Hermesa light electric commercial with a very futuristic look that will be presented in society in spring 2023.
Four new electric and hydrogen, the strategy of Olymp Cars
The Olympia Aresannounced in the image above, is a larger bet, with a length that will reach 4.80 meters Dressed in sensual and pure lines, with LED headlights that are integrated into a glossy black panel that occupies the front crosswise, dispensing with the grille and ventilation, and with a floating-style roof that offers a more sophisticated and sporty image. Those of Olymp bet on technology, with the door handles recessed into the panels and with cameras supported by slim arms replacing conventional rear view mirrors.
Olymp Cars, led by Benjamin Hosenciuc, the CEO, has announced that it will offer a maximum autonomy with a single charge greater than 600 kilometers and that the sale price will be around 40,000 Euros put on the road Very competitive if we take into account this autonomy and that it will equip a recharging system that will only need 20 minutes to recover 80 percent of full capacity.
Future electric models have been designed on a scalable platform for electric cars called “Hephaestus”, an architecture of one and two electric motors of up to 350 hp and different battery levels between 450 and 700 kilometers. With the aim of becoming a global manufacturer, the names of its models will be inspired by Greek mythology, adding others as interesting as the Compact Selenea familiar known as Hera and a electric pick-up, the Artemis. The brand has also confirmed that it will bet on hydrogen models, although it has not clarified which of them will be propelled by the chemical element, nor when the commercial launch will start.
