I believe that many consumers who are more concerned about new energy vehicles will not be particularly unfamiliar with the brand Aouita. However, even though Aouita has a certain degree of popularity, it is still relatively unpopular among a number of new energy vehicles. Although there are endorsements from Changan, Huawei and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, this car is still selling tepid.

When it was first listed, Aouita 11 (Parameter | Inquiry) did get a good result. Just when everyone thought it would be high-spirited, the sales volume began to decline greatly. At present, it can only be maintained at the level of monthly sales of 1,000 vehicles, which is obviously unsatisfactory. I think the problem of pricing is not small. Apart from pricing, the space that Aouita 11 has been criticized is also a big factor. Now with the arrival of Aouita 12, if it wants to make a breakthrough in market sales, then pricing must be the key.

As a medium and large car, Aouita 12 has a highly recognizable front face, which I believe many people can only see in science fiction films. Like Aouita 11, the Aouita family adopts this ultra-modern design language, and those who like it will like it very much, while those who don’t like it will think: Is such squinting really beautiful?

　

Let’s talk about the overall face value of the new car. The front of this car is full, and more slender LED strip is added, which also gives this car a strong sporty atmosphere. I think its biggest highlight is the design of lidar. As we all know, many models equipped with lidar on the market put the radar on the roof, which looks abrupt. This car uses a lower-enclosed integrated lidar. This kind of design has a very good concealment, which is also unique.

As for the interior, this car is equipped with a large central control screen in the middle of the center console, and there is also a small through-going screen above the center console. Don’t underestimate this screen, although the size is not particularly large, according to Aouita officials, this small screen will carry many functions.

In terms of power, this car will be available in single-motor and dual-motor versions, while its comprehensive pure electric cruising range is available in 700 km and 650 km versions, both of which support 800 V high-voltage fast charging. To tell the truth, some models listed in 2023 began to support 800 volts high-voltage fast charging. After all, faster charging speed can catch up with the refueling experience of fuel vehicles.

Compare Aouita 11 and Aouita 12 comprehensively. In terms of face value alone, Aouita 11 and 12 are not particularly big, but I think the design of Aouita 12 has become more pure. Because Aouita 11 has reached the size of a medium and large SUV, its low posture and small trunk space have caused it to lose the advantages it should have as a medium and large SUV. Of course, we can’t deny that Aouita 11 has strong technology configuration and performance, but nowadays pure trams basically have these two advantages. Aouita 12 is a relatively pure medium-sized and large-sized car, and its configuration has been enhanced more than that of Aouita 11. But to my regret, this car doesn’t seem to have a better breakthrough in the storage space inside the car, and it seems that Aouita regards the seating space as more important.

Finally, let’s talk about pricing. Referring to the pricing of Aouita 11, the entry-level version of this medium and large car is likely to exceed 300,000. But if the starting price is really 300,000, there are many competing products to choose from in the market. Can Aouita’s real advantages be reflected in the market of more than 300,000?

　　What awaits innocent baby seals may be the fate of being killed.

　　

　　The hunter clubbed the seal on the head.

　　Canada’s commercial killing of seals has long been protested by many animal protection organizations around the world, but strong opposition can’t stop this cruel killing. The Canadian government even increased the quota for killing seals in 2008 to 275,000, an increase of 5,000 compared with last year, which triggered widespread criticism and protests around the world.

　　The killing scene is extremely cruel.

　　Every year from March to April, Canada conducts large-scale commercial hunting and killing of seals. These seals are either shot with guns or hit on the head with sticks, and the scene is extremely bloody. At the beginning of hunting, the hunters in the dinghy shot at once after seeing the seal on the ice. After killing the seal, the hunters peeled off the fur from the seal and threw it into the dinghy. Seal fur will be used to make leather clothes, and the bodies will be discarded.

　　After the seals were shot, the hunters began to check their sex. If the female seal is killed, cut open and peel it on the spot, leaving the stripped flesh and blood in place; When they meet male seals, they drag their bodies to fishing boats, and then send them to processing plants for subdivision later. There are also some hunters who are extremely cruel. They snatch the baby seals directly from the mother’s arms, knock these young and helpless lives to death with sticks, and immediately peel off their fur. When the baby seals, who had just been born for two or three weeks and were starving, were lying in the sun on the smooth ice, the hunters’ sinful bullets had been continuously fired at their young bodies. Poor little guys have been skinned and boned before they can eat solid food, swim or even catch a cod to satisfy their hunger.

　　Seals, a beautiful animal, are killed because they are all treasures, and their fur is used to make high-grade garments. In addition, their adipose tissue contains an unsaturated fatty acid called "omega 3", which is more than that of natural fish. People extract this substance and make it into precious nutritional supplements for sale in the market, and the demand is very huge.

　　Animal protection organizations expressed strong protest.

　　The cruel killing of seals, like whaling, has attracted protests from many animal protection organizations from the beginning. Many animal protectors think that the killing of seals is so cruel that there is no one to talk about. Sherry, a member of the International Animal Welfare Foundation? Sheryl Fink said that she was surprised that the Canadian government continued to increase the quota for hunting seals, and said that this behavior should not continue. She said: "This resolution to increase the quota for killing seals is unfair."

　　As early as 2005, some environmentalists began to urge some American restaurants to boycott Canadian seafood unless the Canadian government stopped the commercial killing of seals. They said that the EU will soon introduce a ban on all seafood imports from Canada. Some animal protectionists say that the current Conservative government in Canada actually allows the killing of seals in order to win the support of the eastern region in the next federal election.

　　However, despite the wave of protests, the Canadian government is indifferent. Phil Jenkins, a spokesman for the Fisheries and Oceans Department of Canada, recently denied that the population of Harp Seals in Greenland has decreased. He said, "At present, the number of Harp Seals in Greenland is good and sufficient, about 5.5 million. We hope to see these animals continue to grow healthily, so we have been keeping the number of seals killed within a reasonable range for many years. In addition, he also said: "We have a conservative method to keep the number of seals. We think that killing 275,000 seals is not enough to pose a threat to the number of seals." It is reported that the Canadian government has planned to set the date of killing seals in late March. (Dong Nan)

CCTV News:On the 10th local time, US Democratic presidential candidate Biden held a press conference, saying that his transition team had begun to prepare for the formation of a new government, and stressed that nothing could stop this. On the other hand, Republican presidential candidate and US President Trump said on social media that he would win the election and there was fraud in counting votes.

Biden said that Trump’s refusal to admit defeat made many Americans feel anxious. He thought Trump’s move was embarrassing and not good for his political legacy as president. He expressed his expectation to start a dialogue with Trump. When asked if he would take legal action to force Trump to admit defeat, Biden said he didn’t think it was necessary. However, according to CBS, Biden can’t officially start to take over the presidential power because the General Affairs Administration of the United States, which has officially opened the presidential power transfer procedure, has not officially determined the winner of the election. In this regard, an official of Biden’s campaign team who asked not to be named said that Biden would consider taking legal action to deal with the current situation.

On the other hand, Trump posted on social media twice on the 10th, saying that he would win, and there was fraud in counting votes in the general election. In an American Fox News program broadcast on the evening of 10th local time, White House Press Secretary Kelly McNarney said with a large stack of paper documents that it was 234 pages of sworn written testimony, which could prove that there was election fraud in this election. McNarney, for example, said that in wayne county, Michigan, 60% of the votes had the same signature, and 50 votes had been counted repeatedly. Bill Stepin, Trump’s campaign manager, said the day before that Trump was "not retreating" and "still fighting" and would continue to seek to initiate legal proceedings in several key States in response to the vote count results of the general election. However, according to US media reports, although the Trump campaign team is actively seeking donations to pay tens of millions of dollars in litigation fees and recount fees, some Republican donors have indicated that they are unwilling to continue to entangle in legal proceedings. These lawsuits will not change the current election outcome, and they have shifted their focus to maintaining the Republican majority status in the Senate.
