In Episode 222 of China EVs & More, Tu Le and Lei Xing tackle a packed week in China's EV world as the industry faces mounting headwinds at home and abroad.They break down the major developments impacting China's auto sector:

Germany's auto production absolutely crashed, falling by almost 20% in just a single month. This becomes the latest stark warning about the direction of the global economy coming from the car business. And that report on production was corroborated by Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, all of them reporting results and forecasts this week that have sent their stocks plunging. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

Imagine dropping your car off for a simple repair — brakes, thermostat, or routine service — and weeks go by in silence. When the call finally comes, you're told the job's done… and you're one of the lucky ones.This isn't fiction. It's the harsh reality for millions across North America as the $2.8 trillion auto industry unravels in real time.In this episode, we break down how the 2025 automotive crash shattered supply chains, triggered parts shortages, and left repair shops across the country struggling to survive. You'll see why even industry giants like Ford — despite record revenues — are pointing fingers at a national shortage of skilled mechanics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-motor-files-podcast--4960744/support.

Ferrari has unveiled technology – new powertrain and chassis – that will power its first electric car, scheduled for launch next year. However, the Italian carmaker also scaled back its electrification plan, and its revised profit and revenue forecast disappointed investors, sending its stock down 15 percent. But first: amid the ongoing political chaos, we look at how French businesses are struggling to plan ahead.   

Brendan Appel of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Brendan and Tom open the show discussing rumors of the Jeep Wagoneer's demise, which would leave just the Grand Wagoneer in Jeep's lineup. The hosts share sales numbers for large SUVs--listen in to hear which large ute is the best-selling. Brendan shares his thoughts on the post-federal-incentive EV sales environment. For those who don't know, the incentives of up to $7500 for a new EV ended September 30. Still in the first segment, Brendan reviews the 2025 Cadillac Optiq small electric crossover. Though generally impressed, Brendan noted several features of the compact Caddy EV he'd change. In the second segment, Brendan and Tom welcome Rob Newton, Senior Director of Marketing at public-charging provider ChargePoint to the show. Rob shares news about a collaboration with Eaton designed to improve charging performance and reduce installation time. Rob also discussed how ChargePoint is improving charger reliability. In the last segment, Brendan is subjected to Tom's “Did it have a V8?” quiz. Quiz includes special Chex Mix bonus question. 

In this episode, Liz Ann Sonders and Kathy Jones begin by discussing the implications of the government shutdown on employment data and the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. They analyze the challenges posed by the potential lack of government data and the reliance on private sector indicators like ADP. Then, Kathy Jones speaks with Joel Levington, who has more than 25 years' experience in corporate credit research. Kathy and Joel discuss the overall current state of the credit markets, focusing on corporate credit health, the auto industry's challenges, and some of the impacts of economic disparities on consumer credit. They explore the significance of credit ratings, the rise of private credit, and the implications of inflation and government policies on the economic outlook.Finally, Kathy and Liz Ann discuss upcoming economic data and how earnings season could shape market expectations.On Investing is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

Buckle up for a deep dive into the automotive industry's latest battle with tariffs that could reshape how we buy and maintain our vehicles. Automakers and suppliers have formally urged the Trump administration to reconsider unpredictable tariff expansions, warning that these policies make investing in America increasingly difficult. The financial impact? A potential $4,600 price increase per vehicle within three years, according to the Center for Automotive Research—a sobering prospect when average new car prices already hover around $50,000.The conversation takes a personal turn as we explore the emotional versus practical considerations of keeping older vehicles. One host shares the dilemma of his daughter's beloved 2007 Ford Focus with 185,000 miles—is the sentimental value worth the maintenance costs and logistics of storing it for occasional use? This sparks a broader discussion about how consumers might adapt to rising costs, including a potential revival of salvaging parts from junkyards as repair expenses climb due to tariff-affected components.Our Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid review showcases why this three-row SUV deserves attention despite its $52,610 starting price. With actual adults fitting comfortably in the third row (thanks to its six-inch length increase over the standard Highlander), impressive fuel economy averaging 29.7 mpg over 475 miles, and what we call "the best-looking front fascia" in Toyota's lineup, it delivers substantial value for families needing space without sacrificing efficiency. We also cover the latest automotive recalls, auction results from Hemmings, and an update on Tony Stewart's remarkable recovery after a 300+ mph NHRA crash.Ready to join the conversation?

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more This episode is available in Spanish - click hereWatch the full video on YouTube - click hereTony Trecapelli's career in automotive began at Saturn, where he saw firsthand what a people-centered culture could look like. Employees were trusted, collaboration was encouraged, and leaders treated the workforce as partners. That environment shaped his perspective early on. When he later moved into GM, the environment felt very different. Decisions came from the top, and people were expected to follow orders without question. Seeing both sides of the industry gave Tony a clear choice about the kind of leader he wanted to be. Instead of command and control, he committed to leading through coaching and support.Now, as President and CEO of Gemini Group, Tony applies those lessons every day. He talks about creating a workplace where people can try, make mistakes, and learn without fear of punishment. In his view, that's how resilience is built — not by avoiding risk, but by facing challenges and adapting together.Tony also reflects on Gemini's small-town Michigan roots. It's a place where people know each other, relationships matter, and the company works hard to keep that spirit alive even as it operates globally. He describes how those values influence daily decisions and help steady the organization in an unpredictable industry.The conversation turns to the realities of being a tier two supplier. Tony shares how tariffs, EV and hybrid transitions, and global competition create constant uncertainty. Instead of pretending to have all the answers, he focuses on being transparent and open with his team, making sure they understand the challenges and feel connected to the bigger mission.Tony also opens up on a more personal level. He talks about what fuels his drive as a leader, the routines that set the tone for his day, and the ways he steps back to recharge outside of work.The episode closes with a live audience Q&A, giving Tony the chance to respond directly to questions about Gemini's future, his leadership style, and the lessons that shaped him. What listeners get from this conversation is more than a story about one leader's journey; it's an honest look at leadership in automotive today. Tony's message is straightforward: leadership is about people first, and culture is what carries a company through change.Themes discussed in this episode:The leadership lessons Tony Trecapelli carried from Saturn's collaborative culture into his careerThe difference between servant leadership and command-and-control styles in automotive organizationsWhy Tony leads Gemini Group with a coaching mindset that encourages growth through mistakesThe daily realities and challenges tier two suppliers face in a volatile automotive supply chainThe impact of tariffs, EV transitions, and political uncertainty on business decisions for suppliersThe role of mentors, personal habits, and values in shaping Tony's leadership approachWhy transparency and clear communication are essential for building trust during times of changeFeatured guest: Tony Trecapelli What he does: Anthony A.

Automotive in Flux This week on the Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing is joined by licensed customs broker and Master Customs Specialist Filipp Zaborenko to tackle the fast-changing world of automotive trade compliance. From shifting tariffs and forced labor enforcement to steel and aluminum duties and the evolving EV market, the conversation dives into how automakers and compliance professionals can keep pace with uncertainty while planning for the future. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Tariff Shifts – The new EU–US trade deal and what a 15% duty means for automakers Forced Labor Rules – Why due diligence never went away — and why enforcement is heating up Cost Planning Uncertainty – How long-term auto production faces tariff unpredictability Classification Challenges – Why misclassifying parts could cost millions under new rules EVs Under the Microscope – The love-hate relationship with electric vehicles and new classification hurdles Compliance Strategy – Staying proactive when trade feels more like reaction mode Key Takeaways: Tariff changes reshape auto supply chains but leave long-term planning murky. Forced labor enforcement remains a top priority for global automakers. Steel and aluminum tariffs add complexity to tariff classification and cost modeling. Correct classification directly impacts USMCA eligibility and tariff exposure. Compliance pros must embrace both vigilance and technology — including AI tools — to stay ahead.

This week, Ford unveiled a new electric strategy and manufacturing process to a mixed reaction. But it might be one of the most important moves the company makes. Sam Abuelsamid, host of the Wheel Bearings podcast and VP of Market Research at Telemetry, joins us for an in-depth, realistic conversation. We get into the future of electric vehicles in the United States, the importance of why US companies need a real electric strategy no matter what Washington does, and the reality that the future for US automakers is not guaranteed.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the full video on YouTube - Click hereIf you're still leading like it's 1995, or worse, 1985, you're holding this industry back. We've spent decades obsessing over products and systems, yet barely stopped to ask ourselves: What kind of leaders are we? That's the question Jan wants you to sit with. Because if we don't change how we lead, the rest doesn't matter. The truth is, the Command-and-control style is still prevalent today, especially in moments of uncertainty. Too many leaders retreat into control when what's really needed is trust and empowerment. That reaction is driving away the very talent the industry needs to stay competitive. The solution? Building a culture where people can make decisions, collaborate across silos, and adapt quickly. But it's not just about shifting behavior—it's also about how leaders communicate change.. When rolling out new tech, leaders need to involve people. Otherwise, the change will fail, not because of the tool but because the people weren't part of the journey.That's when Jan introduces the idea of the leadership statement. This is about sitting down, reflecting on your values, thinking about the leaders who shaped you, and being honest about the kind of leader you want to be. We're so used to asking our teams for commitment. What if, instead, you asked yourself what you are committing to them? What are you promising as their leader?Jan shares an example from Goodyear CEO Mark Stewart. His leadership commitment? “I'm in 1000%.” He didn't just say it; he moved to Ohio to back it up. That's what authentic leadership looks like.The clock's ticking. Chinese OEMs are gaining ground, and the window to evolve is closing fast. If we don't change our leadership and culture now, no amount of AI, tech, or process improvement will save us.It starts with you. The way you lead, the culture you create, and the commitments you're willing to make.Themes discussed in this episode:Why the automotive industry can't compete globally with 1990s leadership modelsHow to evaluate and improve your leadership style to match today's industry needsWhy trust and empowerment are key to keeping young talent in automotiveWhy building a strong leadership culture is critical to EV and supply chain transformationHow automotive leaders fall into micromanagement during crisis—and how to break the habitThe importance of writing a real, personal leadership commitmentWhy Chinese automakers are taking the lead in the global market and what legacy OEMs must do to catch upYour HostJan Griffiths is the architect of cultural change in the automotive industry.

Ryan Recker and Jeff Manasso from Fox News Radio dive into the chaos in the auto market. From soaring prices and record-high loan debt to the uncertain future of electric vehicles, they break down why so many car owners owe more than their vehicles are worth. Jeff highlights recent dips in loan rates and dealer incentives, offering hope for buyers considering refinancing or waiting out the market. They also call out buyers who overextend financially for status cars and emphasize the growing risk of a flood of used vehicles hitting the market later this year, potentially pushing prices down—though history suggests patience might not pay off.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the growing revolt against the federal government's electric vehicle sales mandate. Despite warnings from Canadian automakers that the policy will drive up costs and kill jobs, Ottawa is refusing to budge. Industry officials say there's been no willingness to relent on the aggressive EV sales quotas, even as internal talks continue behind closed doors. And how does ‘conservative' Premier Doug Ford both support billions in subsidies while criticizing the Liberals' EV mandates? Plus, Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano joins the show to break down a new Fraser Institute report showing taxes remain the single biggest household expense — bigger than food, housing, or transportation. Kris and Franco ask: Why is the government doubling down on expensive mandates while Canadian families struggle to get by? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
