Pocas marcas tienen una historia tan rica, tan variada y tan entretenida como la de BMW. Lleváis desde hace tiempo pidiéndome este vídeo y ¿queréis saber porque no lo había hecho antes? Pues porque iba a ser larguísimo. Así que en vez de la historia completa vamos a detenernos en los hitos más importantes para la marca que incluyen desde su colaboración con los nazis, la fabricación de ollas o su intento de venta a Mercedes… Hoy en día BMW es dueña de la propia marca BMW en coches y motos, Mini, Rolls Royce, BMW i y la rentable BMW Bank. Esto es ahora aunque los comienzos no fueron fáciles. Karl Rapp fundó en 1913 una fábrica para producir motores a la que llamó, en un alarde de originalidad propio de esos tiempos, “fábrica de motores de Rapp”. En alemán suena más rotundo, Rapp Motorenwerke. El 7 de marzo de 1916 se considera la fecha de la fundación de BMW cuando la antigua Rapp pasa a denominarse BMW GmBH que es como llama los alemanes a las sociedades limitadas y luego BMW AG. Pero esta, todavía, no es la auténtica BMW. Llegan son los éxitos gracias al brillante ingeniero Max Friz que diseña motores de avión de alta compresión que consiguen que los aviones puedan volar más rápido y sobre todo más alto… En 1922 uno de los co-fundadores de la marca, Castiglioni, se va de la empresa para irse a otra empresa, la Gustav Otto Fligzeugwerk… empresa de nombre original: “Fabrica de aviones de Gustav Otto”. El tal Gustav era ni más ni menos que el hijo de Nikolaus August, el inventor del motor de 4 tiempos… Se llevan los derechos de la marca BMW, aunque al principio la empresa se llamaba BFW, un nombre un “poquito” más original, que sería algo así como “Baviera de aviación”. Pero con la salida de Camilo Castiglioni, la empresa vuelve a denominarse BMW, su nombre actual, “Fábrica de motores de Baviera”. Nuestro amigo Max Friz, ingeniero aeronáutico no lo olvidemos, diseñó una moto en su momento revolucionaria, la R32 presentada en 1923, con motor boxer longitudinal y transmisión por cardan… las actuales BMW, incluida la mía, siguen llevando esta configuración, que en su momento despertó verdadera admiración. No mucho más tarde el fabricante del modesto coche DIXI, la empresa Automobilwerk Eisenach, pasaba por una situación financiera no muy boyante y BMW la adquiere para convertirse en fabricante de coches. Llegaron los BMW 326 de 1935, el 327 de 1937 y sobre todo el precioso roadster deportivo 328 de 1936, una joya. A finales de los años 30 la aviación no deja de crecer y BMW dedica la mayor parte de sus esfuerzos a la fabricación de motores para aviones, su negocio primigenio, hasta tal punto que a finales de esa década en el mejor negocio de la empresa con diferencia. La llegada de Hitler y el nacismo y el rearme de Alemania en esos años propiciaron que la venta de motores de avión no dejase de crecer y crecer hasta el punto de que BMW apenas era capaz de satisfacer la demanda… Pero estalla la Segunda Guerra Mundial y BMW encuentra una solución para conseguir mano de obra barata. La familia Quandt es en la actualidad accionista mayoritaria de BMW y su patriarca, Günther Quandt fue en su momento un apasionado colaborador de los nazis a los que proveyó primero de uniformes y luego de motores de aviación y armamento. El hecho es que BMW utilizó mano de obra esclava procedente sobre todo del campo de concentración de Dachau para la producción en masa de motores destinados a la Luftwaffe, el ejército del aire nazi. Y la familia Quandt se enriqueció, sin duda. Pero al acabar la guerra, los aliados prohibieron a BMW fabricar vehículos y motores de aviación al menos durante 3 años. Además de la prohibición, la fábrica de Múnich quedó arrasada por las bombas y en esta situación BMW pudo salir a flote gracias a la fabricación de frenos… y de ollas, diversos utensilios para cocinar, herramientas agrícolas y hasta macetas. Todo valía para ganar algo de dinero. Todo pasa y ya en 1951 BMW fabricó su primer coche de la post guerra, el BMW 501. Los años 1958 y 1959 fueron un desastre económico y la junta de accionistas del 9 de diciembre de 1959, un drama de película. Los préstamos del Deutsche Bank habían convertido a la entidad financiera en accionista de referencia, pues además representaba los intereses de las acciones que tenían en custodia. Para salvar a BMW hacían falta dos cosas: Buenos productos y, sobre todo, dinero. Y reaparece la familia Quandt, de la mano de Herbert Quandt que tenía unos “ahorrillos”, me imagino de donde salieron. Con una ampliación de capital la familia Quandt se convirtió en el principal accionista, con el 60 por ciento de la empresa. En la actualidad la familia conserva algo menos de 50 por ciento… ¡esto es invertir con visión de futuro.

UE, aproape de a taxa mașinile electrice chinezești, deși Germania se opune

Statele membre ale Uniunii Europene ar putea aproba astăzi tarife mai mari pentru mașinile electrice din China, încercând să prevină concurența neloială. Potrivit unei informații publicate de Reuters, ar fi deja întrunită majoritatea pentru ca tarifele să fie adoptate, în condițiile în care Franța, Grecia, Italia și Polonia vor vota pentru. Germania, însă, se opune. Potrivit The New York Times, votul va impune tarife suplimentare, de la 7,8% pentru mașinile Tesla fabricate în China până la 35,3% pentru vehiculele fabricate de producătorul chinez SAIC, taxele pentru alți producători auto fiind undeva la mijloc. Aceste tarife vor veni peste tarifele existente de 10% ale Uniunii Europene pentru toate mașinile importate.Liderii de la Bruxelles spun că taxele sunt menite să creeze condiții de concurență echitabile, mai degrabă decât să închidă piața Uniunii Europene pentru importurile din China.Business Standard notează că, drept represalii, China a lansat anchete antidumping asupra exporturilor UE de carne de porc și băuturi alcoolice precum și o anchetă antisubvenție asupra produselor lactate din UE, dar încă nu a impus nicio măsură.Ministerul Comerțului din China s-a întâlnit, de asemenea, cu producătorii de automobile și asociațiile din industrie pentru a discuta despre creșterea taxelor de import la vehiculele cu motor mare pe benzină, care ar afecta cel mai puternic producătorii germani.Macron și Scholz au poziții diferite în privința tarifelor la vehiculele electronice din China, constată Le Monde:”Emmanuel Macron și-a exprimat sprijinul pentru tarife, în timp ce germanul Olaf Scholz a cerut „negocieri” cu China.Citeste siComplicata situație a taxării importurilor în Uniunea Europeană de mașini electrice fabricate în ChinaIar în același context, agenția germană DPA atrage atenția asupra crizei pe care o traversează industria auto din Germania.”Problemele cu care se confruntă producătorii de automobile din Germania, o țară cu o mare industrie auto, inclusiv mărci precum Volkswagen Group (VW) și BMW, au un impact și asupra industriilor din alte țări.Producătorii germani se confruntă cu cifrele slabe de vânzări și cu costurile ridicate ale trecerii la sisteme de propulsie electrică.Recent, Mercedes a trebuit să-și reducă prognoza de profit pentru acest an din cauza vânzărilor slabe din China. Anterior, și BMW și-a redus așteptările privind vânzările și profitul pentru anul în curs.Pentru prima dată în ultimii 30 de ani, Volkswagen s-ar putea confrunta cu concedieri și închideri de fabrici. Potrivit unui raport din presă, gigantul auto european ar putea tăia 30.000 din cele 300.000 de locuri de muncă ale sale în Germania”.Iar Bloomberg amintește că Mercedes-Benz Group AG și BMW AG presează Berlinul să voteze împotriva impunerii unor tarife semnificativ mai mari asupra vehiculelor electrice produse din ChinaUn vot „nu” din partea guvernului german ar fi un semnal în acest sens și ar ajuta la evitarea unui conflict comercial, consideră un lider german din industria auto.

South Africa risks losing business investment over visa 'chaos'

In one of the world's most unequal nations an acute shortage of skilled workers is restraining already tepid growth, limiting job creation and pushing some foreign investors to think about moving their money elsewhere. This skills shortage has been identified by the South African presidency as the second biggest impediment to economic growth, after crippling power outages. Yet the government department that could resolve the problem, home affairs, has been accused of exacerbating it by failing to deal with a visa system that appears to be causing self-inflicted damage on the economy. Skilled worker shortages are most acute in areas such as engineering, science, information technology and management-level personnel, according to a government report that called for urgent reform to the visa system. One business organization, which includes car companies Volkswagen AG and BMW AG has warned that delays in the process - it can take 48 weeks to have a visa application accepted - threaten expansion plans, investment and jobs in South Africa where unemployment is running at 33%. Schools, universities and small enterprises also complain that the Department of Home Affairs appears unable to efficiently process work and residence permits and that it is hampering their operations. Some have been left short of staff, others have delayed or reconsidered investment plans with several African countries now considered as alternative sites for regional headquarters. "We are experiencing these kind of issues," said Klaus Eckstein, senior representative for Bayer AG, the German multinational pharmaceuticals group, in the region. It runs manufacturing plants and research and development facilities in South Africa. "We are looking to expand. This is not helping anyone. It's not helping South Africa. It's not helping the business," he added. South Africa's economy is already being held back by inadequate power supply, a dysfunctional rail and port network that's limiting exports and a dearth of foreign investment, partially caused by the inability of companies to source the skills they need to expand. Those factors are expected to limit growth this year to just 0.9%, according to the International Monetary Fund. Worker shortages have been a global problem since the coronavirus pandemic, but the issue has dogged South Africa for more than a decade. A team set up by Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa's president, found that between 2014 and 2021 a total of just 25,298 work permit visas - an average of 3 162 per year - were approved in a nation of 60-million people. The shortages have been exacerbated by high levels of emigration by skilled South African workers. More than half of all visa applications between 2014 and 2021 were rejected, some due to errors made by applicants and officials in the home affairs department. Annual applications for critical skills visas have more than halved from almost 7 000 in 2017 to 3 077 in 2021. The number of applications for business and general work visas have also slumped. The Ramaphosa group recommended a raft of changes including a points system and a trusted employer program so that bigger companies would face less scrutiny. Its report estimated that for every skilled employee brought into the country more than one other job is created and even a 1% increase in imported skilled workers would boost gross domestic product by 1.2%. In October the Department of Home Affairs took a step toward implementing the recommendations by asking companies that want to secure work permits for senior executives and technicians to take part in a pilot of a trusted employer program, that would prioritize their applications. If implemented fully, the changes could streamline the process. But progress has been slowed by political infighting in the Ramaphosa government and a crumbling civil service. Family residence permits are often not approved at the same time as work permits, the department is understaffed and its computers downlo...

Top executives from global carmakers and auto parts suppliers have voiced their commitment to the Chinese market at 20th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, or Auto Shanghai 2023, the first major auto exhibition they have attended in the country since the outbreak of COVID-19.The biennial event, which runs from Tuesday through April 27, is one of the most important platforms to showcase latest car models and automotive technologies. Over 1,000 foreign and Chinese companies are participating in the event, according to its organizers.Volkswagen, the best-selling international carmaker in China, is presenting a big lineup of models, including 20 fully or partially electric ones.Volkswagen is the first international carmaker after a joint venture in the country. Its CEO Oliver Blume said his visit to China "is a bit like coming home". After 40 years of operating in the country, Volkswagen is "sometimes perceived as a Chinese brand", he said.According to Blume, China's auto industry has seen great progress in the past decades, with some local carmakers having launched "very competitive" products. He said that Volkswagen is speeding up its local decision-making and R&D to tap into China's dynamic growth and high speed of innovation.Last year, German carmaker BMW AG sold 790,000 vehicles in China, accounting for over one-third of its global total."We are very confident about the development of the Chinese market, and will continue to expand our footprint here," said Oliver Zipse, chairman of BMW AG's board of management."We feel at home here in China. The growth and success of BMW in the country has created prosperity in both China and Germany," he added.Toyota's Executive Vice-President Hiroki Nakajima emphasized the Japanese carmaker's commitment to China, especially in the new energy vehicle segment.Toyota is showcasing four electric models at the Shanghai auto show. It will launch at least 10 by 2026 to hit its global EV sales goal of 1.5 million units, with China as one of the leading markets.French marque Peugeot launched its first global model 408 X, while its electric concept — the Inception — made its Asian debut on the first day of the event."China will continue to be both the world's largest car producer and the world's largest car market," Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson said.German auto parts supplier Brose expects China to account for 25 percent of its global revenue by 2025, up from 20 percent now, CEO Ulrich Schrickel said.Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the China Passenger Car Association, said the brimming enthusiasm and cutting-edge products on display at the auto show will boost the Chinese market.Statistics from the CPCA show that 6.08 million vehicles were sold in the first quarter of 2023, down 6.7 percent year-on-year. However, sales in March saw a rising trajectory, with 2.5 million units sold, up 9.7 percent year-on-year.New energy vehicles have been a driving force. In March, NEV sales hit 653,000 units, up 34.8 percent year-on-year. The CPCA estimates that China's NEV sales will reach 9 million units this year, up from 6.9 million in 2022.Reporter: Fu Sheng

Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick who is presiding over the case called the prosecution's argument “elegant” and a “kill shot” as they attempt to discredit the manner in which the board posed the pay plan to shareholders for a vote. The defense argues that the package was tied to overall performance and shareholders have received over a 10x increase in stock value since the voteMusk told the court that the pay package was a way to help fulfill ambitions for space travel saying "It's a way to get humanity to Mars," he testified in November.

GERMANY'S PLUGIN EV SHARE UP TO 24.3% Germany, Europe's largest auto market, saw plugin electric vehicles take 24.3% share in April 2022, up from 22.1% YoY. Overall auto volume was down, by over 21% YoY, and over 40% compared to pre-pandemic seasonal norms. April's combined plugin result comprised 12.3% battery electrics (BEVs), and 12.0% plugin hybrids (PHEVs).  Combustion-only powertrains faired worst in terms of volume drop, with diesel sales down almost 30% YoY, and petrol down almost 28%. With current BEV market leader Tesla not having any large scheduled deliveries in April, other marques and models had a chance to shine, with the Fiat 500e coming out on top. The Mercedes EQB stepped up in registered volume by some 5× over the period, seeing a healthy 1,405 units over the February to April period, from 295 previously. The BMW i4 increased 2.7× to 755 units.

As temperatures decrease below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, charging time will increase significantly. Drive battery level and condition, charger specifications and DC charging more than twice per day also can negatively affect charging time. DC charging may not work on AWD bz4x when the temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit." That's 5 degrees celsius.

"A net loss of $3.1 billion was primarily attributable to a mark-to-market loss of $5.4 billion on the company's investment in Rivian. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $2.3 billion," Ford said. - Rivian shares have slumped 72.2% this year. The market capitalization at Rivian has shrunk by $66.1 billion, to $25.43 billion from Dec. 31 to May 6. - The R1T is one of the main rivals of the F-150 Lightning, the electric version of the F-150 pickup.

Einerseits ist BMW seit Jahrzehnten ein erfolgreicher Autokonzern mit Zigtausenden Mitarbeitern, Käufern und einem festen Platz im Premiumsegment der Branche. Andererseits stellen neue Technologien wie die Künstliche Intelligenz, neue Wettbewerber wie Tesla und neue weltpolitische Spannungen bis hin zum Krieg die Münchener vor gewaltige Herausforderungen - und dann ist die Pandemie ja ebenfalls noch nicht vorbei. Wie geht der Konzern damit um? Welche Techniken kann er, welche noch nicht? Wie unterscheidet sich Software von der Produktion handfester Autobestandteile? Und wie kommt der Konzern an IT-Spitzenleute, um die auch Google & Co werben?

Show #1374 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 14th February. It's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Welcome to a new PATREON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER PETER RYNER. If you get any value from this podcast please consider supporting my work on Patreon. Plus all Patreon supporters get their own unique ad-free podcast feed. THERE WASN'T A SINGLE TESLA AD DURING THE SUPER BOWL. HERE'S WHY - CNN - If you were to judge the US auto market by this year's Super Bowl ads, you'd think virtually all the cars for sale in America today are electric vehicles made by the world's long-established automakers. And you never would have heard of Tesla, the world's largest EV maker. - Commercials during the game reportedly cost $7 million for 30 seconds, and automakers bought a total of nearly 10 minutes of those time slots, not counting pre- and postgame ads. Those commercial minutes were almost all about EVs. - But now, Tesla is facing more competition than ever for buyers looking to go electric. Established automakers and other upstarts have dozens of new EV models in their pipelines, some of which are already for sale. So some experts think Tesla may have to change its no-ads policy eventually. - The car industry has incredibly deep pockets for ad spending and spends more on advertisements than any other product group. - Automakers invested $4 billion in television ads in the first nine months of 2021, according to Kantar. - Auto dealers spent another $625 million in that same period of 2021. - Many of the cars advertised during the Super Bowl are not yet available to US buyers — and won't be for months or even years. Original Source : https://edition.cnn.com/2022/02/14/business/super-bowl-ev-ads/index.html EV-MAKER POLESTAR'S AD RIBBING MUSK MOST POPULAR AT SUPER BOWL | REUTERS - Leonardo DiCaprio-backed Polestar's ad taking a potshot at rivals Tesla (TSLA.O) and Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) topped the list of the most popular commercials during Super Bowl LVI, new data on Monday showed. - The 30-second ad by the electric-car maker performed roughly 23 times better than other commercials aired during the game, according to consumer search data firm EDO, with its message of "no epic voiceovers," "no empty promises," and "no hidden agendas" aiming squarely at the idea of conquering Mars as well as the Volkswagen Dieselgate. - Five of the top 20 Super Bowl commercials that were the most searched online during and after the event were EV-focused and were made by Polestar, Kia, Nissan, Chevrolet and BMW, EDO said, highlighting the rising popularity of battery-powered vehicles in the U.S. market.

This makes another e-mobility funding from the infrastructure bill concrete. - to support production facilities for battery materials, battery cells and packs, recycling facilities, and second-life applications for batteries - the government of US President Joe Biden wants to ensure “that the United States can produce batteries and the materials they contain to increase economic competitiveness, energy independence and national security”.

These silicon anode cells hold 73 percent more energy than Tesla's Model 3 cells by weight, and they take up 37 percent less volume. - Tesla's current Model 3 cells serve as a state-of-the-art comparison, and hold around 260 Wh/kg and 730 Wh/l, according to Enpower. The new Amprius cells are a significant step up, both in specific energy and energy density, holding 450 Wh/kg and 1,150 Wh/l – and the company says that the undisclosed number of cells just delivered to "an industry leader of a new generation of High-Altitude Pseudo Satellites" - The company says the silicon nanowires are rooted right into the substrate of the anode, so conductivity (and thus power) is high. It says the cell cycle life is "excellent" and "continually improving," although it doesn't put any numbers on it, and it also says the anode is the only part of the battery that changes; the rest can be produced using existing manufacturing methods and components.

The German maker has now released images of a prototype model undergoing extreme cold-weather testing. - close to the Arctic Circle where temperatures can reach as low as minus 30 degrees celsius. The purpose of this gruelling phase of development is to evaluate how the van's various components, such as its powertrain and charging system, cope with the icy conditions. - Mercedes did reveal that – depending on configuration – this next-generation model will boast more than double the range of the current van (below), which can cover up to 96 miles on a charge. - Production of the next-generation eSprinter is set to begin in the second half of 2023 in South Carolina, USA, followed later by two plants in Germany.

The "new" DeLorean company is considered the world's largest source for DeLorean parts and repairs. - Now, DeLorean Motor Company has teased the modernized, fully electric DMC in a recent tweet. - The reimagined DMC will be called the DeLorean EVolved. All we really know at this point is that it will be a luxury sports car featuring an electric powertrain. - Rumors suggest that Italdesign may be collaborating with DeLorean Motor Company on the upcoming EV.

The GMC Hummer EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Rivian R1T are all expected to be on sale well before the Ram 1500 EV. We've seen all of these vehicles, in one form or another, while Ram is still busy drawing concepts. By the time the Ram 1500 EV arrives in 2024, some options will have a three-year head start. It's going to need a few tricks up its sleeve if it wants to be taken seriously. - The first thing Ram came out with is called RamRevolution.com. - The automaker is taking input on everything from the way the pickup truck should look to features. The new program was accompanied by a few teaser images of what the electric pickup truck could look like. - the Ram 1500 EV would be available with a "class shattering" range extender version. The CEO didn't go into details on what a range extender would look like or mean. In other vehicles, a range extender is a small onboard engine that uses gasoline or fuel to charge the battery.

Welcome to a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER TYLER VOSS WATCH RECORD-SETTING LUCID AIR DREAM EDITION 70-MPH RANGE TEST - We knew going into the range test that the Air would likely crush the 310-mile range test results we achieved on a 2021 Tesla Model 3 in our 70-mph range test, which was our range test leader until now. The only question that remained was by how much. - Lucid provided us with a production Lucid Air Dream Edition Range with the 19" Aero wheels which is the configuration that is EPA certified at 520 miles per charge. If you put the 21" wheels on this same vehicle, the EPA range rating drops to 481 miles - The temperature was 51° F (10.5° C) when we started the day, which isn't really ideal conditions for range testing. However, by the end of the day, the temperature had crept up to 69° F (20.5° C) - The consumption rate remained consistent and was on 4.3 mi per kWh for the vast majority of the drive, and only dropped down to 4.2 mi/kWh on occasion. - When the range test was over, we had used 117+ kWh of the Air's 118 kWh usable battery capacity, so we really ran it down to a completely drained battery. We drove the Air for six miles after the state of charge read zero, and about 3 more miles after the display said we had consumed 117 kWh on the trip. That leads us to believe we had less than .25 kWh left in the battery when we ended the test. - Lucid uses the 5-cycle test procedure to certify its vehicle's range with the EPA. Tesla, Audi, Polestar, and Rivian also use the 5-cycle test, while all other OEMs use the 2-cycle test. - Tesla vehicles, for instance, usually underperform their EPA range number by 10% to 13%. The Air actually did very well in this regard, falling only 4% short of its EPA range rating Original Source : https://insideevs.com/reviews/562511/lucid-air-range-test-record/ CYBERTRUCK PHOTOS LEAKED! - “The wiper lives flat across the bottom of the windscreen ?

And Holy cow... it extends and retracts, potentially covering every inch of the glass.” Original Source : https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/cybertruck-photos-leaked-%F0%9F%93%B8.4660/ TESLA'S GROSS MARGIN IN FOCUS WITH Q4 EARNINGS - Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) crushing fourth-quarter delivery turns the focus on how well the company managed costs amid supply headwinds and whether the electric vehicle maker is on track to deliver 40% long-term gross margins when it reports quarterly earnings on Wednesday, according to Loup Ventures analyst Gene Munster. - Tesla delivered 28.8% automotive gross margins in the third quarter, compared with 25.8% in the second quarter ended June. - Tesla Chief Financial Officer Zach Kirkhorn had told investors on the third quarter post-earnings call that there's "an awakening" for electric vehicles and that the company does not have a demand issue but the ability to produce as many cars.

Original Source : https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Panasonic-to-start-producing-new-Tesla-batteries-in-2023 TESLA NOW RUNS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE AUTO FACTORY IN AMERICA - Last year Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, produced an average of 8,550 cars a week. That's more than Toyota Motor Corp.'s juggernaut in Georgetown, Kentucky (8,427 cars a week), BMW AG's Spartanburg hub in South Carolina (8,343) or Ford Motor Co.'s iconic truck plant in Dearborn, Michigan (5,564), according to a Bloomberg analysis of production data from more than 70 manufacturing facilities. - Tesla's Fremont factory is a scrappy site to behold. Originally built by General Motors Co. in the 1960s and jointly operated by GM and Toyota until after GM's 2009 bankruptcy, new additions have been kludged together to form an anthill of manufacturing. In what was once a rear parking lot, a pair of industrial tent structures provide shelter for bustling assembly lines that wouldn't fit inside the packed factory. - For all its rapid growth and dominance in electric vehicles, Tesla is still just the 10th biggest auto manufacturer in North America. The new plant in Austin should change that and, according to Levy, help Tesla maintain its EV lead for as long as the supply imbalances continue. Original Source : https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-tesla-factory-california-texas-car-production/ GM TO INVEST $6.5 BILLION IN MICHIGAN FOR EV PRODUCTION - General Motors Co. is expected to detail plans Tuesday to invest $6.5 billion in two Michigan sites and create 4,000 jobs in the state, according to a meeting agenda and two sources familiar with the situation. - The Detroit automaker is scheduled to announce its investment at an event in Lansing. The news would come a day before Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's State of the State address, which is expected to highlight the state's economic development efforts as the auto industry pivots to electrification. - GM and battery partner LG Energy Solution are planning a $2.5 billion investment in Lansing near GM's Delta Township plant for a battery cell manufacturing site that will support a growing list of coming EVs. - GM also received a tax abatement for a $1.3 billion investment at its Orion Assembly plant in Lake Orion to build EVs, but the investment amount there is expected to total $4 billion. Sources previously told The Detroit News the automaker plans to build electric trucks there.

By 2030, the alliance is expected to come up with more than 30 new battery EVs underpinned by five common platforms, they said. - That is in addition to 10 billion euros the group has already spent on electrification - The three-firm alliance has developed and partly deployed four common EV platforms. - One underpins EVs such as Nissan's upcoming Ariya and Renault's Megane EV, and another supports affordable no-frills cars by Nissan and its China market partner Dongfeng, as well as for Renault's Dacia brand. The other two are platforms for micro minis, called “kei cars” in Japan, and light commercial vehicles. - The automakers are expected to use common batteries and other key components.

VOLKSWAGEN ID.5 ELECTRIC CAR WILL RIVAL TESLA MODEL Y IN 2022 - VOLKSWAGEN has taken the covers off its new ID.5 electric SUV-coupé, which features sleeker styling, a 323-mile range and slightly upgraded tech compared to its ID.4 sibling. Both models could be considered rivals to the Tesla Model Y, which arrives in the UK from early 2022, as well as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 - As the ID.5 is based on the same underpinnings as the recently-launched VW ID.4, the engineering and overall footprint is the same. It's only in profile and from the rear that the ID.5's visual differences become apparent; rather than a truncated hatchback rear end, the ID.5's roofline slopes down towards a rear spoiler atop the boot-lid. - One key difference between the ID.5 and ID.4 is that the former gets just a single (77kWh) battery option. The range is divided into three basic levels when it comes to powertrains — Pro, Pro Performance and GTX. - In Pro and Pro Performance models, a single electric motor drives the rear wheels delivering 172bhp and 201bhp, respectively. At the top of the tree, the GTX gets dual motors, one acting on the front axle and the second on the rear, making it all-wheel drive. Total power output of the GTX is 295bhp, which is enough to propel it from 0-62mph in 6.3 seconds — over a second slower than the Tesla Model Y Long Range and 2.6 seconds slower than the Model Y Performance. Original Source : https://www.driving.co.uk/news/new-cars/2022-volkswagen-id5-details/ Volkswagen ID.5 and ID.5 GTX: price, specs and release data - While the ID.4 can charge at a maximum of 120kW, the ID.5 accepts up to 135kW of power. That means an 80% top-up at a fast-charger takes just 26 minutes, compared to 35 minutes for the ID.4. VW's other ID. models will soon be able to charge at the higher rate, as the brand is rolling out an update. - Coupe-SUVs command a premium over the boxier models on which they're based, so you can expect the ID.5 to start from around £47,000. You'll be able to order the Volkswagen ID.5 in early 2022 and at that point we should have full prices and specifications. Original Source : https://www.carbuyer.co.uk/volkswagen/303582/volkswagen-id5-and-id5-gtx-price-specs-and-release-date VW ID.5 RWD And ID.5 GTX AWD Electric Crossover Coupes Are Here - Customers who will opt for the ID.5 GTX will need to settle for a lower estimated range of 480 km (298 miles) compared to the RWD models, but the performance gains and all-weather capability appear worth the upgrade.  The ID.5 GTX also features some subtle design upgrades over the regular ID.5, including sportier bumpers (with integrated DRLs at the front), IQ.Light LED matrix headlights, LED taillight clusters with a 3D design, dual-tone paints, and  a performance-themed cockpit. - The VW ID.5 and ID.5 GTX will launch in Europe in early 2022, but the automaker said nothing of a US debut. However, the dual-motor AWD powertrain of the ID.5 GTX is already available stateside in the ID.4 AWD Pro and Pro S.

Original Source : https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/exclusive-volkswagen-mediation-committee-discuss-future-ceo-diess-sources-2021-11-03/ WORKS COUNCIL CONFLICT AT VW CONTINUES TO ESCALATE - Until the mediation committee reaches a result – possibly by the beginning of December – important decisions in the operative business will be suspended. These include investments that have not yet been approved. For this reason, some insiders say that the company is currently “blocked”. - Herbert Diess wants to continue to focus the company on electromobility and, for example, strengthen in-house software development. In addition, the plants are to become more efficient – the conflict with the works council recently escalated at the main plant in Wolfsburg. The works council did not oppose the change to electromobility, but rather the way Diess is pushing his course. - As reported, a compromise had emerged that Wolfsburg could receive the overflow production of the ID.3 and ID.4 from Zwickau – and would thus enter electric car production before the electric vehicle flagship announced for 2026. The so-called planning round, in which Volkswagen distributes models among the worldwide plants (and thus influences their capacity utilisation) had to be postponed most recently from mid-November to December.

Hiltrud Werner, Volkswagen’s head of integrity and legal affairs, talks with LRN’s Ben DiPietro about the work to change the company’s culture after its reputation-damaging emissions scandal; how COVID-19 has made that task more difficult; about the need for quotas to get women on boards; and what E&C people can do to make themselves ready for board service.  “Everyone has understood that it’s not enough to overcome the diesel scandal; we need to be a scandal-free company...so we have to make sure that our culture is strong enough to make us robust, and that people will speak out if they have the feeling that something is wrong.”  - Hiltrud Werner Hiltrud Dorothea Werner, a German business executive, joined Volkswagen in 2016 as the head of group audit, and was appointed in 2017 to the company’s Board of Management, responsible for integrity and legal affairs. In her role at Volkswagen, Werner oversees the compliance and integrity teams, and legal affairs. She is tasked with restructuring the compliance culture.  Werner is a member of the supervisory board of Audi AG, Porsche AG, Seat SA, and Tration SE. She began her career in 1991 at the consulting firm Softlab Gmbh as a project manager, and moved to BMW AG in 1996, where she held various positions in IT and audit. In 2011 Werner joined MAN SE as chief audit executive for the MAN Group, then became head of group internal audit at car supplier ZF Friedrichshafen in 2014.  Werner was born 1966 in East Germany, and earned an economics degree from Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg. She is married and has two children.    What You’ll Learn on This Episode:  [1:25] How has Werner’s career path led her to her current position at Volkswagen?  [3:47] What did Werner learn about VW’s culture in light of the emissions issues?

In the Vehicle 2.0 Podcast, we will look at the future of the auto industry through guest expert interviews, deep dives into specific topics, news coverage, and hot takes with instant analysis on what the latest breaking news means for today and in time to come. This episode was produced and sound engineered by Jackson Balling, and hosted by Scot Wingo.   Transcript:   Scot:                                [01:00] Welcome to the Vehicle 2.0 podcast. This is our first episode and it's being recorded Friday, March 8th, 2019 to kick off the podcast, we're going to catch everyone up on some breaking industry news. But first, we want to take a minute and walk everyone through the vehicle 2.0 framework and some of the terminology that we'll be covering on this podcast in the coming weeks and months and hopefully years. As we talk about future car, there's gonna be a lot of new vocabulary and we will make sure everyone has this reference podcast to go back to so I won't have to cover it every single time. Scot: [01:32] Let's kick it off by looking at the vehicle 2.0 framework. There's four pillars to the framework. The first is connectivity. Most new cars are include a connection to the Internet and then also that enables a lot of cool in cabin functionality. And then also interesting conductivity of the car. I don't want to say too much about that because one of our episodes coming up here soon is going to feature the CEO of Smartcar and we're going to talk about that one a lot. Scot: [02:00] The second pillar is ownership. Car ownership is changing in dramatic ways. There's a lot of innovative companies. We all are familiar with the ride-sharing companies, Lyft, an Uber. And then we have a lot of new models out there, their subscription models. Uh, there's micro rentals, and a lot of things like that. So some of the companies we'll talk about, our Turo, Fair Getaround, and companies like that. A lot of people are also familiar with Zipcar. The third pillar is electrification or electric vehicles or EVs as we commonly refer to it in the industry. You'll hear another acronym that we hear a lot as we talk about this topic is ICE or internal combustion engines. Scot:                              [02:41] We have hybrids, plug-in hybrids. So all those are kind of in this topic of an electrical vehicle. One of the industry trends here is many of the car makers, uh, which we call OEMs, uh, and even countries have announced plans to really get to 100% EV and timeframes like 2025, 20, 30. So it's still early days in the cycle. But as we look at the larger green movement, um, and, and taking care of our environment and climate concerns, EVs are a top topic there. The fourth and final pillar is autonomy or autonomous vehicles or AVs. Uh, it's easy to confuse AVs and EVs. So EVs or electric vehicles AAVs are autonomous right now. None of the AVs are EVs, but down the road, I think we'll have AVs that are EVs. So I say all this. So you guys get used to hearing and saying, Eh, yourselves, this terminology. Scot:                                 [03:38] A big thing that you'll hear about when we talk about autonomous vehicles is LIDAR and that's essentially, it's like radar with light. Um, so it's a shooting out a beam of light. These vehicles are able to build a 3D map of their environment and use that to navigate. Lidar is an acronym that stands for light detection and ranging. So we're going to be talking a lot on this podcast, not only about autonomous vehicles or AVs, but also LIDAR. Uh, another thing that comes up a lot when you talk about autonomous vehicles is there are several quote unquote levels of autonomy out there. Um, and uh, so this was first proposed, I believe by the Society of automotive engineers and then as now been adopted by the national highway traffic safety admin or the NHTSA. So, so the level started zero and they go up to five. Scot:                           [04:30] And I'll just briefly walk you through those levels. Zero is essentially no autonomy. The control, the human, the driver controls everything. Um, including the steering, the brakes, the throttle, the power. Uh, it's what we've been doing all along. You have some assistance from things like cruise control, uh, and now some cars are having light radar, uh, but generally that the human is 100% in control. Level one takes us up with a driver assistance. Uh, and that means most levels are controlled. Most pieces are controlled by the driver, but a specific function, one function like steering or accelerating is down, done automatically by the car. So some of the kind of advanced cruise control systems fall into level one. Then we move up to level two and level two, at least one driver assistance system of both steering and acceleration, uh, is automated. So here the driver is disengaging from physically operating the vehicle and but does not take hands off the steering wheel, hands off the steering wheel or foot off the pedals at the same time. Scot:                                [05:34] Level three, you're now, uh, the vehicle is driving and accelerating on its own with a driver, an interruption. So the driver is still engaged and can take over at any time and frequently the vehicle will detect when it's gotten into this situation and say, Hey, I need you to take over. Um, and this is called level three. This is kind of where Tesla is right now. Uh, with their, their autonomous vehicles. They are by far the largest manufacturer out there with this, uh, ab type functionality and they're at level three. Then we step up to level four. And this is called fully autonomous. And, uh, the definition is they're designed to perform all safety-critical driving functions and monitor roadway conditions for an entire trip. Um, this, uh, so this is close to full autonomy that the one layer that's out there is it does allow for very specific domains. Scot:                               [06:32] So, for example, if a truck went from a highway from one location to another, maybe in a specified lane, that's level four, because you've put some constraints around that, uh, the constraints being either a lane, a designated lane, or you're on a highway, you're not going, you know, do a complete ride journey. And that's level five. Level five is full autonomy anywhere, any place in the environment, uh, the driver can kind of essentially disengaging a spin around and play cards, uh, whatever, take a nap, uh, et cetera. So, so those are, we'll, we'll probably be referring to those over the life of the podcast and I just wanted to get that definitionally out there. We'll refer back to it here in episode one when appropriate. Uh, another interesting debate we're going to explore on the show is I talked about LIDAR. So some of the more advanced companies, uh, out there, uh, I have obviously used light are the one that seems to be ahead is Waymo and then you have Uber, etc. Scot:                             [07:32] Um, and you know, they're definitely kind of full-on having the vehicle build a 3D map of its world and navigate that and understand everything going on. the, uh, the counter-story to that a w which is kind of the minority point is, you know, as humans when we drive, we don't have LIDAR, we essentially have, our eyes are effectively two cameras that are offset to give us a 3D view of the world that we then make a lot of inferences about. And that's how we drive. Um, so this is the system that Tesla uses and a couple of the other vendors out there, uh, are, are using this. Um, so it's going to be interesting to kind of see who wins that debate because obviously if you can use cameras, it's much less expensive and complicated than using LIDARs. So, so, you know, right now the one, you know, I think the Tesla folks would argue they're ahead because they've got many more vehicles out there actually driving a at level three with cameras than the LIDAR guys do. Scot:                                   [08:30] So, so that's going to be something we'll talk a lot about on the show. Another area that's interesting, kind of outside of this vehicle 2.0 framework is the lifecycle of the car. So there's a lot of trends, uh, in addition to vehicle two o that, that are also changing how we buy, sell, ensure finance and maintain vehicles. Uh, this is an area near and dear to our hearts here at spiffy because you know, we believe the whole maintenance of part of the lifecycle is, is not optimized for today's consumer. Um, the other day I rarely watch linear TV, but I was watching I think a basketball game and uh, you know, I haven't seen a commercial in a long time and every commercial on TV I was shocked was for Carvana and vroom. Those are two examples of companies that are really turning the auto industry on its head as far as how you buy a vehicle. Scot:                                [09:19] So what they're doing is the vehicles coming to you. You have an online shopping like experience. They've gotten rid of the test drive by bringing the vehicle to you and giving you a return policy. So we hope to have in future episodes, uh, several companies in, in analysts looking at this part of the market as well. So the goal of this podcast is really to take you, the listener on a journey with us because we're learning a lot about this as well. And we want to explore this vehicle to a framework. Um, we want to understand what's going on, when did the best minds in the industry think it's going to happen, uh, and then how are these changing ownership models, uh, and the way that you, you buy, sell and maintain and insure cars. How is all that adding up and what's it mean for the future of automobiles? Scot:                            [10:06] So with all that foundational kind of definitions and, and the frameworks in place, let's pivot and look at some of the big news items that have come out so far this year. Uh, I think the biggest news item, uh, to come out this year so far and the vehicle to 2.0 world is the lift IPO. So, uh, this is pretty exciting. So Lyft has filed for an initial public offering. Uh, and uh, during the Obama presidency, he put in place what's called the jobs act. The jobs act allows you to file an IPO confidentially, uh, and then, uh, reveal the IPO after you've had decided you are going to go public and you've had your communications with sec prior to that, everything was transparent. Um, which is, you know, the downside of that is many times you would want to test the waters of the market and then pull the IPO without getting a black eye. Scot:                                 [10:56] And you couldn't do that. So this, this allows you to have confidential communications with the sec and get everything done. So, um, a little background on me, I took my last company, ChannelAdvisor public, so I've got a lot of experience with this whole IPO process. What the one thing that you need to know is when you file to go public, the SEC, the Securities Exchange Commission, they want the consumer that that could be buying the, you know, the public investor. They want them to understand everything about your company. So they make you really kind of create this pretty comprehensive document that's called an S1. And we've lived, we've linked it to the Lyft S1 in the show notes. And I strongly recommend, if you are interested in this topic, which you by definition are because you're listening to this, uh, take a peek at that. Scot:                     [11:44] Now. It's kind of daunting. So, um, the weird thing about the IPO process is because there's so many lawyers and lawsuits out there, taking a public is a very risky proposition. It's very easy for people to sue you and say you misled them. So you end up with this kind of weird thing in theS1 where you have this 250-page document where you're trying to convince people to buy your company and own equity in it. But essentially the first third of it is essentially you telling everyone how your business is terrible. So, uh, just because what you want to do is really lead and make sure everyone knows all the risk factors, all the things that can go wrong, uh, et cetera. Then after you get that out of the way, you have this kind of 20 or 30 part, uh, page part and it's Kinda like, you know, it's like a sandwich, right? Scot:                             [12:32] So you've got this kind of wasted, this kind of exterior part that you have to kind of slog through. And then you get to the really juicy middle part there about the business and that's called the management discussion and analysis. So for the lift IPO, this section is really, really a fascinating. Uh, it starts on page 76, uh, if you want to pull up the pdf we've put out there in the show notes and I think it's a must-read for everyone. Uh, even, I'm going to kind of say in the, not only the vehicle world, but the e-commerce world too, because essentially Lyft is a marketplace, um, between drivers and riders. I'm and, and it's really fascinating how they talk about that. And I found there was, there was a lot of connective tissue to my previous e-commerce world. So, um, uh, another interesting output of this as the news kind of ramps up around the IPO. Scot:                              [13:20] What happens is a lot of reporters start reading this one, right? And their natural inclination is, this is terrible. Oh, you know, why would anyone ever invest in this company? Because again, the first 100 pages are about how Lyft is a terrible business. Um, so I saw several articles come out that, you know, Lyft is $1 billion business, but as hemorrhaging cash and we'll never get profitable. Um, and you know, lift in there and in the risk factors, you list all these things that could potentially go wrong. Um, so, uh, I would, uh, I would recommend everyone listening not believed that hype. Uh, it's just part of this process and I think people are misreading it. So I want to spend time today walking you through the positives. So here's some of the highlights. Lyft has 1.9 million drivers. I think that's, that's pretty amazing that, you know, there's effectively 2 million people. Scot:                            [14:10] Uh, that just on the lift system, um, that are, are getting, uh, you know, part-time or even full-time employment from this marketplace. And they have 31 million riders, Lyft’s revenue in 2018 was $2.2 billion. So this is a multibillion-dollar business that has been created from ride-sharing very, very rapidly. Um, a couple of other trends. So, so, uh, I'm not going to spend the whole podcast on this, but there were kind of, in the spirit of this podcast I wanted to tease out a Lyft does kind of add some, some meat on the bones around some of the trends I've already introduced here with the vehicle 2.0 framework. Um, the first one, they, they pontificate on his car ownership. So, so I'm going to read directly from this one here. Quote, car ownership has also economically burdened consumers. US households spend more on transportation than on any other expenditure other than housing. Scot:                                [15:02] In the United States alone, consumers spend over one point $2 trillion annually on transportation on a per household basis. The average annual spend on transportation is over $9,500 with the majority spent on car ownership and operation. Yet the agile, the average car is utilized only a 5% of the time in his parked for the other 95%. So, so a couple of data points there. Um, you know, the average household is spending about $10,000 on, on vehicles and transportation and it's only you're putting that into an asset. You're only using 5% of the time. Uh, and then continuing, we believe that the world is at the beginning of a shift away from car ownership to transportation as a service. So this is really interesting and they call it, uh, you know, t a s. Uh, so in the soccer world we have Sass, you have software as a service platform as a service. Scot:                           [15:51] Now, Lyft has introduced this transportation as a service, um, kind of platform. Uh, they continue lift is at the forefront of the massive societal change. Our ride-sharing marketplace connects drivers with riders and we estimate it is available to over 95% of the US population as well. In select cities in Canada. So, so another thing to know about Lyft versus Uber is Lyft has decided to really stay in North America, whereas Uber went international. Um, and subsequently is going to end up being larger than lift. Once we see their numbers, uh, continuing on in 2018, almost half of our writers reported that they use their cars less because of lift. 22% reported owning a car becomes less important. And as this evolution continues, we believe there's a massive opportunity for us to improve the lives of our riders. Uh, essentially lift to saying here that they're going to decrease car ownership. Scot:                                  [16:40] And, and, um, you know, when you're starting to read these articles coming out now, um, many of them will highlight one or two consumers that have decided to get rid of their car in favor of using a rideshare. Uh, another kind of common vocabulary that was new to me, I want to point out is, uh, we're most, most people are familiar with the ride sharing networks and obviously cars, um, most of them have are, are experimenting with what they call multimodal solutions. Many of them have either invested or bought some of the bike and scooter sharing programs. Um, and then, uh, the way lift says it is as follows, quote to meet these needs, lift his, created a multimodal solution with four components. Number one, ride sharing. And that's what we're familiar with. Number two, bikes and scooters. Number three, public transit, and then number four autonomous vehicles. Scot:                                [17:30] So, so this is really interesting and you know, they kind of envision a world where they'll piece this together for you. So let's, let's come up with a use case where you're in Boston and you are taking a flight to silicon valley, um, to this SFO airport. So they're envisioning, you know, maybe you scooter to a public transport, you that you get to the Boston airport, you fly to Sfo, you ride share, then you take the Bart, uh, and then you take a scooter. So they want a piece, all of that together in one centralized way. Oh, and maybe somewhere in there you take on autonomous vehicle from SFO to, to the public transport. Um, another really interesting tidbit here is, you know, kind of anticipating people wondering should I invest in Lyft or Uber? They talk about how they're going to win, which implies how are they going to beat Uber? Scot:                                [18:18] Um, and they talk about being very driver centric, uh, as one of their attributes. Um, so here's a quote. We focus on providing drivers with a best in class experience. From day one, we offer inapt tipping to help drivers maximize earnings. Uh, drivers have access to 24, seven support and earnings tools as well as career coaches, education resources in flexible car rental programs. We're also making significant investments in driver hubs, driver centric services, service centers, and community spaces to cis drivers on and off the road. They've also got several different programs. They talk about them. So this is a really interesting, one of the collision points in this future of vehicles is who's going to own vehicles going forward? Are they going to be kind of fleet type vehicles? Then the subsequent question is who's going to service them? So we have, everyone is kind of got a role in this and we're going to explore this topic on the podcast going forward. Scot:                        [19:11] So, uh, so that's just a tidbit of what's in that liftS1 a again, I strongly recommend you read it and we'll talk a little bit more about it as we go on. Oh yeah. One other area I wanted to highlight was they do talk about autonomous vehicles and there's two sections there. They say, quote, we're investing in autonomous technology employing a two pronged strategy to bring AVs to market. Our open platform provides market leading developers of autonomous vehicles, technology access to our network to enable their vehicles to fulfill rides on our platform. So what they're saying there is any ab company can effectively plug in and say, hey, here's some available vehicles, uh, if anyone wants a ride on them. Uh, simultaneously we're building our own worldclass AB systems at level five that they're level five engineering center, uh, with the goal of ensuring access to affordable and reliable AAVs. Scot:                             [20:00] Uh, Yep. So they're, they're kind of doing a two prong strategy then later in the document. They do say that they've got several people on the platform and they say active has enabled the commercial deployment of a fleet of Avs in Las Vegas, and they've facilitated over 35,000 rides on that platform, uh, since January of 2018. So, so Lyft is partnered with a company in Las Vegas. Uh, and it's interesting to hear them talk about that. Okay. Now, outside of lift, um, we're going to skip over connectivity. We're going to use the vehicle to a framework as we talk about news to kind of bucketize it. Uh, so, uh, there is a lot going on with connectivity. I'm not going to go into it, uh, in this show because we do have the smart car, a CEO coming up here in a couple of episodes. Um, so let's kick it over to ownership. Scot:                                  [20:49] So this, in addition to kind of the negative and positive views of Lyft generally coming out of the IPO, it's kind of shaken loose a whole bunch of articles now about, um, you know, ownership. Uh, also another interesting reaction is on February 22nd, uh, Daimler and BMW out of Europe announced that they're going to invest over a billion pounds into a new joint owned a car ride hailing business called share now. So the auto makers are looking at, uh, what's going on here with ride sharing and, you know, uh, I think you could kind of talk yourself into a doomsday scenario where, you know, there's the cars become these commodities and if someone's else driving it, what do you care, what car you have, et cetera. Um, so they're, they've thrown their hat in the ring and kind of, you know, made interesting bedfellows. These are very competitive companies, but they're kind of doing a JV here to create their own ride sharing network effectively. Scot:                               [21:47] So, so that's interesting. Um, another point is there's a lot of articles out now kind of talking about, uh, you know, the end of car ownership. I think this is really, really early, but it is kind of interesting to read the articles and kind of read some of the stats in there. Um, one of my favorite ones came out here just in the last couple of days from business week, which is now owned by Bloomberg. So Bloomberg Business Week. And it was called, is this what peak car looks like? And the subtitle is car trouble. So, so a couple of stats I wanted to share with you from that. Um, so, uh, one of the premises of the article is effectively young folks, uh, driving less. So it says, quote young people continue to turn away from cars with only 26% of us, 16 year olds earning a driver's license and 2017. Scot:                              [22:34] And that was a rite of passage that previously, uh, just 36 years ago was more like a 50 to 60%. Um, so their premise there is it's down by half. Now I can kind of speak from personal experience. I think people are just waiting a little bit longer to get their driver's license. So I think if you looked a little bit broader than kind of like when people are 16, they get their driver's license, um, that, that the trend is they kind of end up at the same place after a couple of years. But it is an interesting data point. The same, they echo the same data point in the UK where the number of 17 year olds taking the driving test there is down 30%. Now, uh, you know, I don't know the UK market as well as I do the yes. So we'll have to kind of keep an eye on that. Scot:                                   [23:15] Um, so, so another data point they use to support this fact that we're at peak car ownership is they say quote 10 years ago, so that'd be 2008. The auto industry predicted annual global vehicle sales with top 100 million by now, but instead they've stalled and we seem to be stuck kind of around 94 million. Uh, and, and, uh, that was in 2018, which is actually down a million from 2017. So kind of using this trend here to, to illustrate that they believe we're at peak vehicle now, that that could be what's going on. Um, but at the same time, you know, what you're finding is people are just owning their cars longer and I think, you know, cars have gotten more reliable and, and, and people are holding onto them longer. Um, to that point they do talk about, uh, you know, prices of cars are increasing. So, uh, here's a quote, automakers have been loading cars with extras and high tech touches, which pushes the average price of a new car in the u s to a record, 37,000, $777. So that's a, that's kind of a high point in that has increased the average age of vehicles. They're now owned about 12 years, uh, w which is kind of a pretty dramatic increase. It was around six, about 15 years ago. Scot:                                   [24:27] So, uh, then the final kind of point from this article I thought was interesting kind of in this topic of, of where, where are the dollars going? Kind of where's the puck going? Um, they have a quote from Accenture that says by 2030, $634 billion of the auto industry is actually going to be in mobility services. So, so kind of going from buying and selling cars to consumers to more of a services industry. So it's gonna be interesting to see some of these projections are out so far. It's hard to tell. Uh, you know, again, I come from the ecommerce industry and we're just at 15% of ecommerce as digital. Uh, which, you know, 10 years ago everyone was projecting 30, 40, 50%. So these things take a lot longer, uh, and we'll be tracking them here on the podcast and electrification news. Um, the market I kind of keep a close eye on is China because they're actually pretty far ahead of us as it comes to electric vehicles. Scot:                                   [25:22] Now, um, you know, I'm not saying that's bad for the US. China has a government, this act will be involved in is really got incentives, heavily aligned, ongoing electric, uh, and they're also building out infrastructure at the government level, which we don't have here in the US at this point. Um, so there was an article out this week, the, um, uh, it will put a link to it in the show notes as with the Bloomberg article I mentioned earlier, um, and it says China is China's leading EVO are Evie company is called BYD. Uh, and they just announced their results and they sold 43,000 electric cars and the first two months of 2019 and that represents a 175% year over year increase. So that alone is more than all the electric cars sold in the u s I believe, or are pretty close to it. Scot:                                   [26:06] I think there's about 50,000 sold last year. So you have one company that's kind of in two months selling more than the entire us. Um, so that, that's really interesting. Uh, and we'll be tracking and having some guests on to help educate us all about the China Evie market. Because I think that's a really good harbinger of things to come into other markets. Another key part of the market share and viability of electric vehicles is the battery cost. So the industry has standardized on lithium ion batteries and you know, a Elon Musk at Tesla, he's built a one factory that that really is kind of working to drive down the cost of batteries. Uh, and then, uh, it's called a Giga factory and then they're building another one in China that they have announced. Um, so another thing we're going to be talking about on the podcast a lot is what's going on around the battery technology because that's going to be the key driver. Scot:                                   [26:56] One of the measures that we look at in the battery technology is the dollars per kilowatt hour. Um, so there was an article out from Bloomberg this week, um, the, that really started to kind of dial in on that this, and what they found is the prices fallen 85%. If you look at the last eight years, so from 2010 to 2018, the focus on EVs has driven down the battery cost. Uh, and now we're sitting at a battery cost of $175 per kilowatt hour that was closer to $1,000, eight, just eight years ago. So you know, as that continues down is going to lower the cost to get into the market. Uh, also this week Tesla has announced a couple of interesting things. They finally have come out with the $35,000 model three, and then they also, um, because there's capacity challenges at their charging stations there supercharging network, they've come out with supercharging 3.0 so you can now charge vehicles faster and improve the throughput of the charging network. Scot:                                   [27:53] Uh, so those are all some really interesting topics. We'll keep tracking the news for you on around EVs. Uh, and then last but not least around autonomy. Most of the car companies there, there's a lot of these pilots I mentioned Lyft is working with a company in Las Vegas. Waymo is active in, uh, I think Phoenix, Arizona as well as the California silicon valley or the bay area. So, um, the state of California does this interesting thing where you have to get a license to operate autonomous vehicles and they're actually publishing the data out of the DMV. Um, so we've been tracking this pretty closely and we'll do a blog post on this to give you all the data and we'll link to it and show notes, but just some highlights. Um, so what you see is Waymo and again, Waymo is a division of Google. Scot:                                   [28:42] So Google has a parent company called Alphabet. Uh, and Google is one of the sub-companies in there. Uh, and then you have nest and a bunch of others companies. Waymo is one of those. Um, and I think Google has set that up so eventually they can kind of spin Waymo out as its own company. Um, so as we look at the annual data coming out of California a, it indicates that 2018 Waymo vehicles, Dru drove 1.2 million miles, uh, and they have 2.6 total driven over at the time. The other interesting thing about AVs that blows my mind is, so these vehicles are out there driving these physical miles. Um, and then they pull all that data and uploaded up into the cloud and they can run the simulated miles. So, um, you know, I've heard folks in industry say for every real mile they simulate another 10 to a hundred miles. Scot:                                   [29:32] So, so that's where the car can kind of in simulation land, you can kind of do a lot of interesting things, right? So at this point you're kind of in the matrix. So, uh, let's say these physical are, are gated to only go 35 miles an hour and simulated land. Maybe they could crank them up to a hundred miles an hour. And that forces the software. It really kind of helps you in a very safe environment because you're just simulated right to figure out what's going to happen. Or You could throw a bunch of bad acting cars at, at the automated car. Uh, so it's really interesting to think about that aspect, but continuing with this data. The second is GM. Uh, their subdivision is for autonomy is called cruise. Um, that one, um, so if we, if we kind of look at 2018, uh, again, we had Waymo at 1.2 million cruise a second at 500,000 miles and number three is apple. Scot:                                   [30:22 ] So Apple has an autonomous vehicle pilot going on. Uh, I think they call it tightened internally. Um, it's very secretive. It only drove 80,000 miles. Then you have a couple of books, Aurora, neuro, auto x, Baidu has is in there. And all those are in kind of like the 30,000-mile range. So a, if miles driven is important and with machine learning it, it is, uh, a kind of a big and mapping, uh, miles driven is, is kind of a proxy for how far ahead you are, you know, some of these companies. So there, so, so Google Waymo is essential. Eighth, four x ahead of Cruz and you know, oh, let's see, what does this like 50 x ahead of Apple? So it looks like they're pulling away. Um, when we use this one metric as a way of measuring what's going on there. Scot:                                   [31:07] Uh, another popular, uh, autonomous vehicle company is called drive.ai and they are in Dallas. Uh, and full disclosure, there are spiffy customer. So we, we help them maintain that fleet of autonomous vehicles and it's almost like public transport. So it has a very designated routes and they're timed and, and you can kind of, you know, it's almost like a bus schedule, you know, when they're going to come by. Um, there's an article out there that, uh, that company is for sale. So, uh, it's gonna be interesting to see if there's some consolidation in this space here or not. Scot:                                   [31:38] Kind of pivoting back to Waymo. Uh, as we talk and news on the podcast, we're going to be tracking Waymo probably the closest when it comes to autonomy there. They're kind of like the Amazon of autonomy. Um, their CEO, uh, hopefully, I can get his last name right here. His name is John Craft Kick, and in November at a Wall Street Journal conference. He kinda surprised folks by saying, you know, uh, by really tamping down expectations and saying, hey, you know, while it's true, we have these, you know, level five ab vehicles out there today, there's going to be a lot of constraints. Um, so he mentioned the light are really has a hard time, uh, in bad weather. Uh, so snow obviously, so these, these LIDARs and cameras are looking at the streets for cues on where to go. Scot:                                   [32:25] So if they can't see the lines in the street very clearly, uh, then they run off the road, which is obviously scary. I've also read articles that, uh, things that don't hurt confused the human eye can, can view light LIDAR. So they'll look at like, uh, trees with, with leafs, and that'll kind of, they'll think that's a big blob of something and they'll kind of steer out of the way of it when it could just simply be a couple of leaves that would brush up against the car kind of a thing. So, so there's, we're still early days and he effectively said, I don't see a day when we'll be at 100%. So that was interesting. Uh, but at the same time he did kind of talk about more of this level four stuff where he said, you know, I do see a day pretty soon where we're trucks is where there's the biggest problem. Scot:                                   [33:04] There's a shortage of truckers out there. Um, so you know, uh, I think where we're going to see a lot of activity, and we'll cover this on the podcast, is trucks carrying goods where you have a big part of the trip is kind of a highway driving. Maybe at some point we even have a lanes, but you could see a situation where a driver gets a truck to a certain area. Um, hit some kind of AAV technology probably stays in the cab for the first phase of this. But, uh, but um, you know, is, is there an emergency situation but then the trucks do the long haul without the human involved. And then there's the kind of downgrade back into level one, level zero more current news out of Waymo. Just this week they announced that they are actually going to sell their LIDAR technology in a standalone format. Scot:                                   [33:49] Um, so it's kind of funny. They're calling it laser bear honeycomb. I don't know where they came up with that name. Uh, and, uh, in a blog post they announced that they are going to actually sell these units to third parties. Uh, you could say, wow, you know, that, that's crazy. Why would they do that? There's going to be competition. Well, really the bulk of the innovation here is in software. And I think what they're looking for is people to do, you know, when you open these things up to an army of entrepreneurs, crazy things come out of the other side. Um, they also, uh, disclosed this same breath that the cost of LIDAR units has come down substantially. So, so effectively one 10th. So these units, uh, as much as two years ago used to cost $75,000, and now they're down to 7,000, 500 per. Scot:                                   [34:35] So we're, we're going to see, um, it's gonna be interesting to see what kind of innovations come out of Waymo licensing their LIDAR units to other folks. And we'll put a link to that in show notes in case any of you want to get a LIDAR and dote on your roof and do some experimentation. So that's the foundation of what we're gonna be talking about on the podcast. Hopefully you've gotten a little flavor of it as we went to the news. Um, and we look forward to, to really kind of digging into these topics and going really deep, uh, but also at the same time going broad. With that, it looks like we are out of our available time.

Wednesday 16th May 2018. AUDI E-TRON LOOKS ALMOST PRODUCTION-READY IN NEW SPY PHOTOS Motor 1 has got hold of new spy shots of the forthcoming Audi e-tron quattro, and as were about 3 months away from seeing it on 30th August, it's pretty much finished. Motor 1 says: "Our talented spy photographers have sent us this batch of shots with a near production prototype of the EV, undergoing testing in southern Germany. Under the clothes will be an electric propulsion, which will produce somewhere in the region of 435 horsepower (320 kilowatts). What’s more important, the vehicle will be able to travel up to 248.5 miles (400 kilometers) at a single charge." The battery is 95kWh, and my take from the pics, it's very similar to the Mercedes EQC and the Jaguar I-PACE. There will always be comparisons to the Tesla Model X but it looks more compact.   BMW GROUP PASSES 250,000 MILESTONE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON THE ROAD "BMW Group has reached the major milestone of 250,000 of its electric vehicles being on the road around the world. Announcing its sales figures for April following a record-breaking first quarter, the German automotive giant revealed that it had shipped nearly 10,000 EVs in that month alone, pushing it past the quarter of a million mark." according to BusinessChief. "We are delighted to announce that there are now over a quarter of a million electrified BMW Group vehicles on the world’s roads,” said Pieter Nota, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Sales and Brand BMW. "Combined sales of BMW i, BMW iPerformance and MINI Electric vehicles were up 52% in April (9,831). We are well on track to deliver on our stated target to sell over 140,000 electrified vehicles this year."   'MILD HYBRID' KIA SPORTAGE DUE LATER THIS YEAR 48v mild hybrids are an attractive way for car makers to add some electrification without the expense of a hybrid or plug in hybrid system, whilst doing enough to lower the MPG. Kia look like they'll be doing that to their Sportage in the second half of this year reports Fleetworld: "The technology includes a compact 48-volt battery under the boot floor, charged using energy recuperated through a motor-generator connected to the engine’s crankshaft. It means the engine can switch off earlier and for longer, even while the car is moving, and lean on a 13bhp power boost from the motor while accelerating, both of which reduce fuel consumption."   TESLA MODEL 3 TRAVELS 515.7 MILES ON SINGLE CHARGE IN HYPERMILE RU We love a good story of hypermiling. Being very gentle with your right foot and possibly following trucks too closely which we don't recommend. And Teslarati have picked up on this "A Tesla Model 3 driven by Denver Tesla Club president Sean M. Mitchell just set a hypermile record, traveling 515.7 miles (830 km) on a single charge. The trip, which lasted 18 hours, started from Denver, CO and ended in Topeka, KS." He did it at 30mph, Chill mode was on and regen was on low. And of course you wouldn't try this attempt without the Model 3 Aero Wheels. @SeamMMitchell: "515.7 mi (830 km): Though well short of intentions, great to set the benchmark for longest hypermile in a #Tesla #Model3. The last 100 mi really cut into range (poor route planning). Decided to play it safe and stop early."   LEAKED EMAIL SAYS TESLA MAY HAVE HUGE BURST OF MODEL 3 PRODUCTION THIS WEEK CNBC reports on another email from Elon Musk. Now we know what he meant by Tesla being a leaky sieve of information. "The email said it is "quite likely" Tesla will make more than 500 Model 3 cars per day this week, which would be a 75 percent increase over last month, Electrek said. Tesla was not immediately available for comment. Musk also asked employees to identify any production bottlenecks."   CHINA'S FAW TO INVEST $260M IN BYTON "Chinese state-owned carmaker FAW Group has agreed to invest around $260 million in China-backed electric car start-up Byton as part of an ongoing series-B funding round, two people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday." says Norihiko Shirouzu for Reuters. "The deal was signed over the weekend in Nanjing where Byton is building its headquarters and production facilities as well as a technology centre, they said. Byton is looking to raise a total of about $500 million in the round."   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Wednesday 11th April 2018. Coming up soon, a podcast special all about solar car parks, and particularly solar car ports. Tomorrow on the show you can hear about a major project being lunched by Bentley. So subscribe and make sure you hear tomorrow, I think it’s going to be really interesting. ELECTRIC CARS GO RACING Following on from the news yesterday about Audi’s e-tron Vision which is being made for real after starting life as a car for the PS4 Gran Turismo game, we heard yesterday that Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg will be driving the Gen2.0 Formula E car, you know the Batman style one, very soon in Berlin. He’ll be at the Berlin E–Prix on May 19th. And what with Nico Rosberg being a Formula 1 World Champion, he will definitely bring a  lot of press coverage and attention to electric racing. And also news from the Electric GT Tesla racing series. Barcelona company Mediapro Group will do the TV production and feed distribution for the coverage of the fully-electric Tesla racing car championship. Mediapro will produce all the events of the Electric Production Car Series in HD 1080 technology and distribute the signal around the globe to other broadcasting partners. Mark Gemmell, CEO and founder, Electric GT Holdings, said: “We aim to bring the latest technological developments and innovations not only to the racetrack but to people’s homes through the way that they will view and experience the races, Mediapro will be key in providing that link between us and the fans who cannot wait to see and feel how exciting this new racing series will be.” According to Gemmell, the main feed will be distributed to linear networks and platforms, but there will also be video content for social media and online platforms. Still no firm news on dates, circuits and a full driver lineup. However I’m really looking forward to seeing Tesla Model S P100DL on a racetrack, just as much as seeing the Jaguar I-PACE series supporting Formula E. The FIA – motorsport’s governing body – confirmed the full list of manufacturers that will homologate powertrains from season six. – Audi Sport  – BMW AG  – DS Automobiles  – Jaguar Land Rover  – Mahindra Racing  – Mercedes-Benz  – NextEV NIO  – Nissan  – Penske Autosport  – Porsche AG  – Venturi Automobiles TESLA GENIE GRANTS THE WISHES OF MODEL 3 OWNERS Simon Alvarez for Teslarati has a first look at the new Tesla Model 3 Autopilot controls using the right steering wheel scroll wheel for altering speed and distance. A constant bit of feedback from Model S owners was that moving to Model 3 autopilot wasn’t as intuitive, and involved too much use of the central screen. In fact I’d say it was the biggest feature request I saw regularly.  In the What’s New section of the software update, it says “For your convenience, we’ve updated the functions of the scroll buttons on the steering wheel. The right scroll button now lets you quickly adjust Traffic-Aware Cruise Control settings. To increase or decrease the set cruising speed, roll the right button up or down. To adjust the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead, press the right button to the left or right. You can still adjust these settings from the touchscreen and press down on the button to activate voice commands.” Teslarati say: “A video showcasing the new Model 3 Autopilot controls was uploaded to a private Tesla Facebook group by Model 3 owner Ivan Karpenko. The short clip, which could be viewed below, features Ivan adjusting his electric car’s AP settings without touching the Model 3’s 15- inch centre display. According to the Tesla owner on his Facebook post, the new Model 3 Autopilot controls “feel natural.”. Staying with Teslarati actually, and last night a new article popped up about an improvement to Autopilot. A Model S running Tesla’s newest Autopilot update (v8.1 2018.12) successfully managed to drive over a tough curve on an inconsistently-marked road without disengaging. In a statement to Teslarati, My Tesla Adventure noted that the latest updates suggest that the company’s neural net is steadily advancing forward. The neural net has really taken a jump forward, and it’s now advanced enough to handle complex situations. That is game-changing. It’s a full-factor improvement from v8.1 (2018.6) to v8.1 (2018.10.4), and I would say even more smoothing around the edges with v8.1” ANOTHER BLOW FOR GERMAN DIESELS According to Reuters “The German government is ready to offer support to the makers of batteries for electric vehicles, Economy Minister Peter Altmaier said on Tuesday, saying one possibility might be to exempt them from some energy levies. Speaking at an industry event, he said the production of batteries for electric cars was not necessarily a matter for carmakers, but the future manufacture of battery cells must be guaranteed. The German government would support that. Altmaier said a possibility might be to exempt the batteries’ energy-intensive production from some electricity charges. He added that decisions must be made soon on electric vehicles and future technology in cars. WIRELESS KIA SOUL EV On a press release from Kia Motors today: “HATCI and Mojo, a wireless technology company, worked together to develop a compact wireless charging system that is capable of transferring more than 10 kW to the vehicle for fast charging while targeting an 85 percent grid-to-vehicle effi The project installed the system on five Soul EVs and tested them in real-world applications for durability, safety and performance. The system works by using an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two coils—a transmitter on the ground and a receiver on the bottom of the vehicle. The driver simply parks the car above the transmitter to begin charging and then energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which uses that energy to charge the electric vehicles' battery. The system is so efficient it will allow some misalignment between the transmitter and the receiver, making it easier and more convenient for owner's day-to-day use.” There is no current plan to offer the wireless charging system on production vehicles for sale to consumers; however, the success of this development project suggests similar systems are possible on future Kia electric vehicles.   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.
