    They are called wheels covers, they are meant to cover the holes in the alloys

    Most electric vehicles just use air cooling. They make up like 1 of 2 noises a electric car makes.

    *Most electric vehicles of the Vivace's size

    I know, that could either be the thin grille on the bottom or put a tesla-like grille on there.

    not sure where you get that info from.
    the most similar electric vehicles to the vivace that i can think of all use liquid cooling:
    ford focus
    vw egolf
    nissan leaf
    audi a3
    chevy volt


    even smaller vehicles, like:
    smart fortwo
    bmw i3
    renault zoe
    fiat 500e


    in fact, only the least powerful and most budget-oriented electric vehicles seem to use exclusively air-cooling, like the renault twizy and some smaller more obscure brands.

    Yep I was thinking it over and looked up some stuff. Like you said the cheaper ones use them cos a fans are cheaper than a whole water cooling system. Those cars tend to use less powerful motors and batteries. I would guess the Vivace would use water cooling since it is a slightly upper trim car and would use more premium electric components.

    Also the Leaf uses air cooling

    Not sure why but the Cherry is giving me Mazda vibes and considering that almost every car has more than one interior color option now, I'd like to see this:

    for anyone else reading this, a quick check proves this to be true, no matter how ridiculous it sounds. this is why nissan is going downhill so fast. stupid decisions that they can market as being "time-saving" or "lower-maintenance". yeah, what happens if you live in arizona. or brazil. or fucking baghdad.

    so many places i can think of where air-cooling should be insufficient. why should i constantly have my motor's power reduced further and further the longer i drive for at a time just because of where i live? even someone who knows nothing about cars would care about this, because they would feel like their car isn't working right when it's down on power just because today is a few degrees hotter than yesterday.

    I mean all electric cars become less powerful the more battery they use. Also heat and cold has been proven to effect battery range and performance. Electric cars are imperfect.

    sorry guys, the Cherrier will only be available to North American players as the Cherrier All-Trail featuring plastic body cladding, a six inch suspension lift, and words like ''Adventurous'', ''Dynamic'', and ''Lifestyle'' in the brochure.

    yes imperfect, especially regarding temperature, so it really seems like a bad decision to purposely make it worse, just to save a few bucks...

    Everyone talking about the engines and the electric motors but I've seen nothing about a Hybrid version?

    They haven't added that in yet. Its only electric, diesel, or petrol at the moment.
