Podcasts about BYD

There's a new biggest name in EVs, and if you live in the US, you pretty much can't buy one. But before we get to that, we have some stuff to catch up on: The Verge's Hayden Field joins us for a round of “Big Deal Medium Deal Small Deal” with some AI news, from the launch of ChatGPT Health to the recent viral moment for Claude Code. After that, The Verge's Andy Hawkins joins the show to explain how BYD recently eclipsed Tesla as the world's largest seller of electric vehicles, what makes its cars so desirable, and when you, too, might be able to buy a Dolphin Surf. Finally, David tackles a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about giving your kids iPads instead of iPhones, and whether all screen time is created equal.

We’ve got fresh TFSA room for 2026, so we’re switching it up with a list of 8 stocks that we think are worth considering inside a TFSA. This isn’t a deep dive, it’s a clear bull case + key risks for each idea. We hit everything from a data-and-subscription business getting punished by “AI disruption” fears, to a global infrastructure/engineering compounder riding grid and capex cycles, to a Canada-based gold producer with unusual valuation metrics, and a copper-heavy miner tied to electrification and AI-driven power demand. We also debate a quiet compounder in auto services, a steady dividend “bond proxy” (and why rates matter), a subprime lender where the upside is big but regulation and credit risk are real, and a post-pandemic cash machine trading like the market thinks growth is gone for good Tickers discussed: TRI.TO, WSP.TO, WDO.TO, TECK-B.TO, BYD.TO, FTS.TO, PRL.TO, ZM New to investing?

In the agricultural flatlands of southern Hungary, the soil tells a story. For generations, these fields produced paprika and wheat. Today, excavators carve the foundations of an industrial revolution.Trenches now stretch across the landscape—not for irrigation, but for the utility infrastructure of a battery plant that will consume as much water as a town of 50,000 people. The land, once sold for a pittance, has been revalued at seventeen times its purchase price to accommodate the Chinese guest.Eight hundred kilometres northwest, in the exhausted industrial heart of Wolfsburg, Germany, a different excavation proceeds. Production workers at Volkswagen face the incomprehensible: the company announced the permanent shutdown of its Dresden plant, as the final car rolled off the production lines in December, marking the first factory closure in its 88-year history. The crown jewel of German manufacturing shutters domestic factories.These twin excavations—one rising near Budapest, the other crumbling in Wolfsburg—reveal how electric vehicles reshape the automotive industry. The European automotive sector, long the engine of continental prosperity, faces an existential reckoning. China's undisputed champion, BYD, has a lot of say in how this all turns out.Welcome back to a bonus edition of the podcast. My name is Martyn Lee and over the last few weeks I've been looking into the future of Chinese-made, or European-made but Chinese-funded EVs. I'll have a look at some of the big names over the course of the coming months, but today we'll start at the top – BYD.  A reminder you can get the podcasts ad-free supporting my work on Patreon.

On today's Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Donut Labs battery and ask the big question everyone is debating: Is it truly solid-state, or is it overhyped marketing bordering on a scam? We break down what solid-state really means, how it compares to current lithium-ion tech from CATL, BYD, and Tesla, and why battery terminology matters more than ever.We also unpack Ford's announcement that autonomy will arrive with its affordable universal EV platform in 2027, while examining the very real struggles Ford and the broader industry have faced with EV profitability. GM isn't alone in this pain, reporting a $1.7 billion EV loss last quarter and announcing another $6 billion write-off, while Jeep quietly canceled two plug-in models.At CES, one of the most under-the-radar stories came from Geely, the parent company of Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. With models like the Zeekr Z, 001, and 7X, plus their “Golden Brick” ultra-fast charging battery, we explore what it would mean if Zeekr begins U.S. production in South Carolina within 24–36 months—and how far behind U.S. automakers may be if current pullbacks continue.

En el podcast de hoy en Garaje Hermético, destapamos la realidad detrás de los titulares triunfalistas del pasado mes de diciembre. Muchos medios generalistas, y algunos políticos, han celebrado una supuesta "moratoria" o reculada de la Unión Europea respecto a la prohibición de los motores de combustión interna para el año 2035. Nos dicen que el motor térmico se ha salvado, que Alemania ha ganado el pulso y que podremos seguir comprando coches de gasolina. La realidad es mucho más cínica y preocupante: nos han vuelto a engañar. Lo que se ha aprobado no es una rectificación, sino una trampa burocrática que en la práctica no cambia nada para el ciudadano medio. Motores de combustión... solo para una élite La llamada "Enmienda Ferrari" o "Excepción Alemana" abre una ventana legal para matricular coches con motor térmico a partir de 2035, pero bajo condiciones draconianas y económicamente inviables para la mayoría. La condición sine qua non es que estos motores utilicen exclusivamente combustibles sintéticos, los llamados e-fuels o biocombustibles neutros en carbono. El problema radica en el precio y la disponibilidad. Actualmente, producir un litro de e-fuel cuesta muchísimo más que refinar gasolina fósil, lo que situaría el precio en el surtidor entre 5 y 7 euros por litro. ¿Quién podrá mantener un coche utilitario con esos costes? Nadie. Esta medida está diseñada para que quienes tengan un Ferrari o un Porsche en el garaje puedan seguir usándolo, convirtiendo la combustión en un lujo accesible solo para grandes cuentas corrientes. El colapso de la industria europea y el auge de China Mientras el debate público se centra en los e-fuels, la realidad industrial nos pasa por encima. Europa forzó a sus fabricantes (Renault, Stellantis, VW) a una transición eléctrica a marchas forzadas, encareciendo enormemente sus costes de producción. Al mismo tiempo, abrió las puertas de par en par a China, que sí sabe fabricar eléctricos baratos. La ironía es trágica: cuando las marcas europeas por fin tienen sus eléctricos listos, llegan gigantes chinos como BYD, MG o Geely con productos atractivos y un 30% más baratos. Desmontando mitos: Noruega y la infraestructura Continuamos desmontando el mantra del "Ejemplo Noruego". Comparar Noruega con España es absurdo. Noruega ha financiado su transición verde vendiendo petróleo y gas al resto del mundo, acumulando un fondo soberano trillonario que les permite subvencionar masivamente la compra de eléctricos y freír a impuestos al térmico. En España, con una renta per cápita muy inferior, se nos pide comprar coches de 40.000 euros con sueldos mileuristas. A esto se suma el fracaso de la infraestructura de carga. En España, la instalación de puntos de carga es lentísima debido a la burocracia. A finales de 2025, miles de cargadores instalados seguían sin funcionamiento por falta de permisos. Euro 7 y la "Greenflation" Analizamos también el impacto de la normativa Euro 7. Aunque se dice que se ha suavizado en emisiones, ha trasladado la complejidad y el coste a los periféricos. Para cumplir con las emisiones en arranque en frío, se plantearon soluciones como los Catalizadores Calentados Eléctricamente (E-Cats), que consumen tanta energía que obligan a implantar sistemas de 48 voltios, encareciendo la fabricación. Además, la Euro 7 introduce regulaciones sobre el polvo de frenos y neumáticos. El resultado será coches más caros por sistemas de frenado complejos (o la vuelta a los frenos de tambor traseros) y neumáticos específicos de baja abrasión que, curiosamente, suelen tener menos agarre en mojado. ¿Sacrificamos seguridad por burocracia? El "Efecto Habana" y los cementerios de eléctricos Ante este panorama, el usuario se rebela pasivamente, provocando el "Efecto Habana". Con un precio medio de coche nuevo superando los 28.000 euros, la gente se niega a cambiar de coche y opta por reconstruir coches fiables de entre 2015 y 2018, como los diésel Euro 6. Se está creando una "resistencia" de conductores que prefieren invertir en su vehículo antiguo antes que endeudarse por un microhíbrido tricilíndrico de 1.0 litros. Finalmente, destapamos el fenómeno de los "cementerios de eléctricos". Miles de coches eléctricos nuevos se acumulan en campas portuarias en Europa y China sin venderse. Es el "Channel Stuffing": los fabricantes matriculan coches a sus propios concesionarios para reportar cifras de ventas y cumplir cuotas de CO2. Estos coches se pudren al sol, degradando sus baterías antes de hacer un solo kilómetro. Cuidado con los "Km 0" eléctricos con descuentos sospechosos. En resumen, la moratoria de 2035 es un salvavidas de plomo. Nos han vendido un futuro verde, pero nos entregan un presente gris, caro y "Made in China". La imposición del coche eléctrico y el fin del coche particular para la mayoría siguen siendo el objetivo real.

In this episode of Watts In The News, I break down why the latest Donut Labs and Ford announcements from CES may be widely misunderstood. With claims around solid state energy storage, autonomous driving, and comparisons to FSD, Tesla, and NVIDIA, the internet has been quick to label these developments as hype or even scams. YouTubers like Electric Viking have raised serious doubts, while others compare Donut Labs to battery giants like CATL, BYD, and LG — but are those comparisons even valid?I explain why Donut Labs' technology may not be a traditional solid-state battery at all, but something closer to a carbon-based nano energy storage system — neither a classic SSB nor a supercapacitor. We also unpack Ford's CES announcement on Level 2 and Level 3 autonomous driving, why it's being incorrectly compared to Tesla's FSD and robotaxi ambitions, and what Ford actually intends for its affordable next-gen EV platform launching around 2027.This episode cuts through the noise, explains the technology in plain English, and separates real innovation from unrealistic expectations.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Kilowatt, we explore the fast-evolving landscape of electric vehicles and automotive innovation. Ireland's EV market is booming, with electric and hybrid vehicles now making up over 56% of new registrations. Over in the UK, BEVs made up a third of new car sales in December 2025, hitting 2026 targets early. Sony Honda Mobility debuted the AFEELA prototype at CES 2026, impressing with design and ambition. Meanwhile, Kia launched the affordable EV2, signaling a push into more budget-friendly electric options. Hyundai's new nine-seat electric van is generating buzz as a versatile family and fleet solution. Tesla continues to make headlines with new Roadster details and FSD developments, including Elon Musk's admission that 10 billion miles are needed before full autonomy is truly safe. And finally, Lucid and BYD post strong production and sales figures, with BYD overtaking Tesla as the global BEV leader.Support the Show:Support KilowattOther Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteNews Links:Elon on Moonshots YouTubeEV sales hit record levels as Ireland surpasses climate targets – Irish ExaminerSony Honda Mobility debuts AFEELA at CES 2026BEVs take 1/3 of new car sales in UK in December – ElectrekSony AFEELA Was A Hit At CES: Will It Be The Same In The Market? – CleanTechnicaHyundai's electric van seats nine, but this EV may be the bigger hit – ElectrekMusk Reveals Giga Texas Expansion and Roadster Details – Not a Tesla AppKia Launches EV2 – CleanTechnicaThe new $29k 2027 Chevy Bolt is now in dealerships – ElectrekElon Musk gives honest take on FSD competition – TeslaratiNIO Passes 1 Million Vehicles – CleanTechnicaMusk: Tesla Needs 10 Billion Miles for Safe Unsupervised FSD – ElectrekElon Musk: 10 Billion Miles Needed for Safe Unsupervised FSD – TeslaratiThe electric minivan Dodge needs already exists – ElectrekThe First Afeela EVs Have Rolled Off The Production Line – InsideEVsLucid (LCID) beats odds after Q4 production surges 100% – ElectrekTesla Q4 & FY 2025 delivery and production results – TeslaratiBYD Becomes New Global BEV Sales Leader, Displacing Tesla – CleanTechnicaBYD's BEV Sales Grew 28% in 2025, But Dropped 8% in December – CleanTechnicaNIO Explodes Through New Year with 55% Growth in December – CleanTechnicaShow Art Created by Dall-E*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

Tesla delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, down 9 percent from the year before. BYD sold 2.26 million. For the first time in a full calendar year, Tesla is no longer the world's largest electric vehicle maker. The $7,500 federal tax credit expired, European sales collapsed, and Musk's political activity alienated customers in key markets. But the stock finished the year up 11 percent, energy storage deployments hit records, and Cybercab production is starting in April. This is the full breakdown of what happened and what comes next.

In this abridged January 2026 bonus episode of The Clean Energy Show, Brian Stockton and James Whittingham kick off the first podcast of 2026 with a packed update on clean tech, transportation, and air quality trends shaping the global energy transition. The show begins with developments in electric shipping, including Norway's autonomous container ship Yara Birkeland and testing of the world's largest battery-electric ferry, which will carry more than 2,000 passengers between Argentina and Uruguay. Listener mail sparks a brief but heated debate over whether corn is a vegetable, grain, or something else entirely. The main stories focus on dramatic improvements in Beijing's air quality, with PM2.5 pollution levels down nearly 75% since 2013, driven largely by China's rapid adoption of electric vehicles. The hosts also break down how BYD has surpassed Tesla as the world's largest EV seller, why Tesla's sales declined in 2025, and how brutal competition inside China is squeezing margins for everyone involved. Other highlights include China's claim of producing the world's first 100% recyclable wind turbine blade, signs that low-cost Chinese EVs could enter the U.S. market as early as 2027, and a wide-ranging Lightning Round covering batteries, heat pumps, solar growth, robotics, and plastics. The episode closes with a troubling investigation into toxic air contamination aboard commercial airplanes — a hidden pollution problem affecting crews and passengers alike.

Let's talk Venezuela - The idea that the US is just going to come in an turn everything rosy is dumb - overly simplistic thesis --- Sets up a bad global potential for overthrowing governments - where does it stop - The idea that US companies are going to go in there and drill and US is going to reimburse for costs? --- The country is allied with Russia and China - not US (at this time) - This is reminiscent of when we opened the doors to Cuba - we opened it up and no one benefited. Maybe this time will be different. - BUT Venezuela owns the largest proven oil reserves in the world, holding approximately 303 billion barrels as of the end of 2024, which is nearly 18–19% of global reserves. So, that is something. VZ Oil Production Drug Price Hikes - Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles and blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance, even as the Trump administration pressures them for cuts - The number of price increases for 2026 is up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs. The median of this year's price hikes is around 4% - in line with 2025. -Drugmakers also plan to cut the list prices on around nine drugs. That includes a more than 40% cut for Boehringer Ingelheim's diabetes drug Jardiance and three related treatments. Greenland - What are the odds?????

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge break down Beijing's response to Trump's sudden takeover of Venezuela — a move that hits China's energy interests, loans, and influence in Latin America, and raises the stakes far beyond oil. Then they turn to the EV race, where BYD has overtaken Tesla for the first time, signaling a potential power shift in the global auto industry. And finally, they look at China's quieter — but surprising — rise as a luxury food superpower, from caviar to truffles, and what it says about trade, consumption, and state-backed strategy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As we head into 2026, electricity grids aren't just under strain; they are facing transformational change because of the shifts in the ways that we work, entertain ourselves, and get around. EVs are one of the fastest-growing new loads on the grid in many parts of the world, but are also one of the least well-understood. They can exhibit flexibility that's mostly going unused today. Millions of EVs are already connected to the grid, and they're being treated as a problem instead of a solution. So how could they be used to ease that strain on electricity grids? What would it look like if we could turn EVs into really useful distributed energy resources (DERs)? Host Ed Crooks welcomes Apoorv Bhargava to the show for the first time. Apoorv is the CEO and co-founder of WeaveGrid, a company aiming to make EVs and other DERs function like dependable infrastructure for distribution grids. It wants provide utilities with trusted, repeatable, edge-level control of assets, rather than occasional, system-level demand response. Apoorv explains how it all works.Apoorv is a former student of regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, who now teaches at New York University. She joins the show to argue that there is still a great deal of uncertainty around claims of using flexibility to reinforce. It isn't a black-and-white question, she says: flexibility only works when it's engineered, trusted and planned for at the distribution level, not improvised through emergency demand response. Together Ed, Apoorv and Amy debate how EVs and grids might be able to work together in the future, instead of against each other. They discuss consumer behaviour, politics and concerns over rising power bills as factors that will matter just as much as the evolution of the technology. The biggest grid upgrade opportunity may not be new wires, transformers or even power plants: it could be the Tesla, VW or BYD in your driveway.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

BYD sold 2.26 million electric vehicles in 2025. Tesla delivered 1.64 million. For the first time on a calendar-year basis, Tesla is no longer the world's largest EV maker. The company Elon Musk dismissed in a 2011 interview now leads the global market by more than 600,000 vehicles. Tesla posted its second consecutive year of declining deliveries amid an aging lineup, political backlash against Musk, and the end of the federal EV tax credit.

Tu and Lei close out 2025 with a sweeping, on-the-ground review of the most consequential year yet for China's EV, AV, and mobility ecosystem — and why its ripple effects are now impossible for the rest of the world to ignore.  From CES to Shanghai, Munich, and New York, the hosts reflect on firsthand experiences that defined the year: China's EV export surge, the maturation of robotaxis, the cooling of the domestic price war, and the emergence of clear winners — and vulnerabilities — among Chinese and global automakers.They break down why BYD became a true global volume force, how XPeng, Geely, and Zeekr gained momentum, why NIO's long game is finally paying off, and what the rise of autonomous mobility outside China (Waymo, Baidu, WeRide, Pony.ai) means heading into 2026.The episode also revisits major inflection points: • Chinese EV exports flooding Europe, Latin America, Russia, and the UK • The beginning of an exported price war • Robotaxis moving from pilots to real commercial expansion • Why average vehicle prices topping $50,000 in the U.S. is unsustainable • How geopolitics, tariffs, and supply chains reshaped strategy • Why 2026 could be the year autonomy truly breaks throughCandid, data-driven, and reflective — this episode connects the dots on how 2025 reshaped the global auto industry and sets the stage for what comes next.⸻

In Episode 229, Tu and Lei unpack the November China EV sales inflection point and what it reveals about the next phase of the global auto industry.  With subsidies set to expire in 2026, November marked the real start of China's year-end “mad dash.” The numbers show a clear split: Xiaomi, XPeng, Leapmotor, Geely, and NIO accelerating, while BYD and Li Auto lose momentum and Tesla slips into negative growth territory in China.The hosts explain why Xiaomi's YU7 and SU7 have proven unusually resilient, how XPeng's AI-first strategy is paying off, and why Leapmotor and Geely are now knocking on the million-unit club—a threshold that even legacy premium brands have failed to reach in China.They also tackle the bigger strategic question facing Western automakers: Is it still worth competing in China? Tu and Lei argue that China remains irreplaceable as the world's largest single passenger-vehicle market—and that exporting from China, leveraging local tech partners, and embracing “China-for-China” design is no longer optional.The episode closes with a deep discussion on embodied AI, smart glasses, silicon strategy, and why companies like Xiaomi, XPeng, and Li Auto are no longer just carmakers—but ecosystem builders trying to define the future of mobility.Insightful, data-driven, and grounded in real market dynamics, this episode explains why 2026 may be the most decisive year yet for both Chinese EV leaders and global legacy automakers.___

De Nationale Autoshow en BNR Beurs slaan deze laatste dagen van het jaar de handen ineen! Met Noud Broekhof blikken we terug op een ‘beroerd’ jaar voor de autosector. Je hoort over de grote problemen voor Stellantis, waarom BYD een bedankje aan Tesla moet sturen en waarom 2026 misschien wel eens de comeback van Volkswagen gaat worden. Noud staat ook uitgebreid stil bij de beloftes die Elon Musk doet. Tesla gaat heel veel waarmaken, maar volgens Noud komt daar niet veel van terecht. Ook hoor je waarom BMW een ‘lelijke’ auto heeft gemaakt, maar het wél gaat maken in het komende jaar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vender un coche es casi un arte escénico. Pero, ¿qué pasa cuando, en mitad de la función, el actor principal se tropieza y se cae del escenario? En este vídeo nos centramos en ese instante mágico y horrible a la vez: la demostración pública, el gran evento de prensa donde la marca saca pecho para presumir de su tecnología... y la tecnología decide tomarse el día libre. He asistido a multitud de presentaciones y os aseguro que he visto de todo: desde incendios "por la espalda" hasta vuelcos en directo. Pero hoy vamos a analizar las 10 Demostraciones Públicas -más un Bonus Track- que acabaron en un desastre absoluto. Estos son los casos que analizamos en el vídeo: -BMW y la pintura mágica: El iX Flow prometía cambiar de color con un botón, pero la prensa descubrió que el sistema era lento y que, con el frío, el coche se negaba a cambiar. -BYD y el asistente sordo: Nada peor que el silencio cuando el CEO le habla al coche en una presentación mundial... y el coche le ignora repetidamente. -Chery y su doble fallo: Desde el Omoda 5 arrollando a un "dummie" en una prueba de frenado, hasta el Arrizo 8 congelándose en el escenario en Rusia. -Jaguar I-Pace: Un coche de 80.000 euros que, al igual que el Omoda, decidió ignorar al muñeco-peatón y llevárselo por delante. -Jeep Grand Cherokee: En plena presentación en Detroit, su suspensión neumática falló, dejando al coche "arrodillado" y desinflado en su propio stand. -Mercedes-Benz Clase A: El caso que cambió la industria. La famosa "Prueba del Alce" donde el coche volcó, obligando a la marca a instalar ESP de serie. -Mitsubishi Pajero: El rey del Dakar que, ante la prensa, fue incapaz de subir una simple rampa metálica de exhibición. -Tesla Cybertruck: El momento viral por excelencia. Los cristales "inquebrantables" que se hicieron añicos ante la mirada atónita de Elon Musk. -Volvo S60: La marca de la seguridad estrellando su coche contra un camión porque el sistema de frenado automático no se activó. -Volvo XC60: La secuela del fallo anterior, pero esta vez con peatones reales cruzando delante del coche. -Bonus Track - Jaecoo 7: El intento fallido de subir una escalera para demostrar capacidades off-road, acabando con el coche atascado y patinando en el primer escalón. Estos ridículos en directo demuestran que la tecnología es compleja, pero también nos enseñan una lección valiosa: es mejor probarlo mil veces en privado que fallar una sola vez en público ante las cámaras. ¡No te pierdas el vídeo completo para ver cómo ocurrieron estos momentos que ya son historia de la automoción!

Quais foram os celulares que realmente se destacaram em 2025?

Kilowatt 666 — Show NotesIn this episode of Kilowatt, Bodie wraps up the year with a wide-ranging look at the latest EV news just ahead of Christmas. He breaks down a notable 34% drop in Tesla registrations in the European Union, while pointing out that overall battery-electric vehicle registrations were still up 44%, signaling a shift in the market rather than a collapse. The show also explores BYD's new peer-to-peer home charging feature, which lets owners share and monetize their chargers through the BYD app. Bodie then covers the Cybertruck earning an IIHS Top Safety Plus rating, pushing back against early skepticism. He explains why Volkswagen's ID. Buzz isn't coming to the U.S. in 2026, and why that doesn't mean it's canceled. The episode rounds out with a Ford recall affecting over 270,000 vehicles, a look at Elon Musk's evolving pay package, and a holiday message inviting listeners to share their EV stories as the show heads into 2026.Support the Showhttps://www.supportkilowatt.com/Other PodcastsBeyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteNews LinksTesla Registrations Dropped 34.2% in November in European Unionhttps://cleantechnica.com/2025/12/23/tesla-registrations-dropped-34-2-in-november-in-european-union/BYD Now Lets Owners Share Home Chargers Through Their Apphttps://electrek.co/2025/12/21/byd-now-lets-owners-share-home-chargers-through-their-app/Tesla Cybertruck Earns Top Safety Rating—After Everyone Said It Couldn'thttps://www.autoblog.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-earns-top-safety-rating-after-everyone-said-it-couldntTesla Cybertruck Is Top Rated Pickup Truck in Safety Crash Testshttps://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3434/tesla-cybertruck-is-top-rated-pickup-truck-in-safety-crash-tests-ratingsVolkswagen Shelves Its Electric Minibus for the U.S., but Not Foreverhttps://electrek.co/2025/12/19/volkswagen-shelves-electric-minibus-for-us-not-forever/Ford Recalls Over 270,000 Vehicles That Could Roll Away After Parkinghttps://www.autoblog.com/news/recall-ford-rollaway-f150-lightning-maverick-mustang-mach-eShow ArtShow art created by DALL·E*ART PROVIDED BY DALL-eSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

For our final episode of the year, Laurent jumped onto the Wolfe Power podcast, where he and host Alex Wolfe took a no-nonsense tour through the big energy moments that shaped 2025.  Deals of the Year: The spectacular offshore wind meltdown in the US — Orsted's year of pain — contrasted with the blazing global boom in battery deployment all over the world, up a staggering 50% year-on-year.The AI & Datacenter Surge: An extraordinary rise… but how much of it is grounded in facts, and how much is built on faith?Scandals & Disgraces: From the SMR pump-and-dump circus to Venture Global's LNG “ghosts ships,” and of course the Tony Blair report debacle — 2025 delivered drama.Innovations That Actually Mattered: V2G is born thanks to Octopus and BYD and ever larger LFP form factors are reshaping storage — real progress amid the noise.Quotes of the Year: A remarkable harvest of sharp insights capturing the zeitgeist… and, inevitably, a mountain of nonsense worth calling out.To all our listeners: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and thank you for riding through 2025 with us.We'll be back in early January with our Predictions episode — always a very popular one.

This week on Sinica, I'm delighted to have Iza Ding as guest host. Iza is a professor of political science at Northwestern University and a good friend whose work on Chinese governance I greatly admire. She's joined by Deborah Seligsohn, who has been a favorite guest on this show many times. Deb is an associate professor of political science at Villanova University and was previously a science and environmental counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. This episode was recorded in three parts: the first two in Belém, Brazil during COP30 (the 30th UN Climate Change Conference), and the final segment after the conference concluded. Iza and Deb discuss China's role at the climate summit, the real story behind the famous 2007 U.S. Embassy air quality monitor in Beijing (spoiler: it wasn't China's "Silent Spring moment"), Brazil's management of the conference, why China leads on technology but not on negotiation, and what the outcomes of COP30 mean for the future of global climate cooperation.

China produces nearly three-quarters of the world's electric cars, and no city embodies that dominance more than Shenzhen, home to industry giant BYD. Once known as “The World's Factory,” the city has transformed into a global hub of clean transportation and high-tech innovation. Also, Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives in India to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. And, Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank say their existence is being targeted as the face increasing attacks and violence by extremist Jewish settlers.
