ENHANCED PERFORMANCE EXCLUSIVE DESIGN EXTRA TECHNOLOGY More details on the Born VZ with Dr. Werner Tietz, Executive Vice-President for R&D ALL-ELECTRIC COMMITMENT Why are you switching to the CUPRA Born VZ? Because we have to lead by example. I can’t be talking about the need to switch to an electric car and the transformation towards electrification of the company and Spain and not drive one. Are you ready for an electric car? Yes, I am, because I drove a CUPRA Born for about three weeks when it came out and I loved it. But my ecosystem is not ready, because I live in the centre of Barcelona and there are no charging points in my car park. How will you deal with charging? Will it affect your routine? Commuting to Martorell is 43 kilometres from home. I’ll charge it when I arrive, as well as at the various public charging points in the city. That’s the thing about the transformation, trying to adapt to the new situation, how you foresee your journeys and your life around this new mobility. What trips are you looking forward to with your new car? I’m going to a small village at the Costa Brava to discover how to drive this Born VZ and to allow myself be carried away by its winding roads. I love driving.
