Muy buenos días, hablemos de Pemex: su deuda, el estado de las ganancias, los ingresos y los planes de Petrobras. Sigue la cruda del Mundial y es hora de pasar la factura porque esto también alcanza a Ollamani, la dueña del Estadio Banorte. Mientras tanto, Gianni Infantino se echa para atrás de su plan con la FIFA y la Copa del Mundo. Hablamos también del total de coches que tiene que vender BYD para seguir siendo el rey, una reforma de Javier Milei al banc central y el nuevo botón de LinkedIn para exponer a los que no sacan las ideas de su mente.

The boom in Chinese-made cars continues, with one dealer receiving their largest shipment to date. New passenger vehicle registrations rose more than 14% year on year in July. It's driven by strong growth from Chinese manufacturers BYD and Chery – both rising more than 140%. BYD New Zealand General Manager Warren Wilmot told Mike Hosking the fuel crisis is turning people towards electric vehicles. He says in the 70s fuel crisis people shifted away from big American cars to Japanese ones – a similar shift is happening now towards electric models.

Car sales are on the rise, according to a new report - but there's one key factor that's leading the charge. BYD, GWM, MG, Chery and Zeekr all appeared in the top 15 car makes for the month, with Chinese-made EVs helping grow overall car sale numbers. Motor Trade Association CEO Lee Marshall says this proves that the market dynamics are shifting. "I think it's a demand for EVs overall, but I think you've got a few different factors that are all playing into each other - and making something of a perfect storm."

Built on the 800-volt MMA platform, the GLA offers up to 657 km WLTP range, 320 kW charging, and starts at €48,599 as Mercedes' cheapest electric SUV.FERRARI LUCE BEATS 2026 SALES TARGETFerrari's electric Luce hit its 2026 sales target of nearly 500 units within two months of its May launch, despite public backlash, an 8% share price drop, and the departure of marketing chief Enrico Galliera. Demand proved strongest in China, where its 88-unit allocation sold out at roughly $589,000, with Ferrari targeting 2,500 total Luce sales by 2030.RENAULT PROFITS BEAT ON EVS AND CUTSRenault posted a 5.2% operating margin and 9.5% revenue growth in the first half of 2026, beating forecasts through cost cuts and a stronger EV lineup, outperforming Audi and Mercedes-Benz margins for the period. CEO Francois Provost is pushing cheaper EVs like the €19,490 Twingo and €25,000 R5 to defend market share against BYD, Opel and Citroën, while targeting €400 in annual per-vehicle cost savings.WALMART BUILDS OUT US FAST CHARGINGWalmart has opened about 46 high-speed public charging stations with 380 cords across roughly 326 of its 4,600 US stores, ranking second only to Tesla in network expansion during the second quarter. The retailer is leaning on its vast footprint—90% of Americans live within 10 miles of a store—to combine charging dwell time with shopping, potentially lifting store sales by about 5%.CANADA'S FAST CHARGERS OUTPACE DEMANDCanada's DC fast-charger utilization fell to just 9.5% in Q2 2026, down from 11.3% in Q1 and well below the 15-20% operators typically need to break even, trailing the US average of 15.8%. Paren's data, covering nearly 10,000 ports, shows profitability is highly site-specific, prompting calls for demand-led charger siting and better reliability.FORMER VW ENGINEERS CHARGED OVER RIVIAN DEAL TRADESProsecutors charged former Volkswagen engineers Michael Stamp and Michael Plank with insider trading ahead of VW's $5 billion Rivian joint venture announcement in June 2024, which sent Rivian shares up 23%. Stamp allegedly made $250,000 and Plank $50,000, with Plank also accused of tipping a family member who made $12,000, while incriminating searches about insider trading laws feature in the case.IONIQ 3 OPENS UK AND EUROPE ORDERSHyundai's new IONIQ 3 electric hatchback has drawn more customer interest than any previous Hyundai launch, debuting at Goodwood with UK pricing expected under £25,000 and offering up to 308 miles of range from a 61 kWh battery. Built on the E-GMP platform for the European market, the compact IONIQ 3 is not planned for a US launch.KIA COMMITS $649 MILLION TO MEXICO EVSKia will invest $649 million in its Pesquería, Mexico plant to begin producing the EV3 compact SUV starting August 4, marking its first EV production in the country. The move, tied to Mexico's Plan México initiative, is expected to create 500 jobs this year and 1,500 by 2030, while helping Kia navigate USMCA trade rules and tariffs.V2G COULD DWARF MANAGED CHARGING VALUEA General Motors-commissioned E3 study found vehicle-to-grid technology could deliver five to 15 times more value per EV than one-way managed charging, totaling roughly $7 billion nationwide by 2030, with the strongest returns in California, ERCOT, and the Pacific Northwest. GM already has 250,000 bidirectional-capable vehicles on the road and is pushing utilities to speed up V2G tariffs and approvals, including a plan to use 52,000 vehicles to balance PG&E's grid by 2030.SC01 SET FOR UK ARRIVAL IN 2027Small Sports Car Company will bring its China-built SC01 lightweight electric sportscar to the UK, featuring 429 bhp, a 1,365 kg curb weight, a 2.9-second 0-62 mph time, and a 500 km CLTC range. UK demonstration cars arrive in Q4 2026, with right-hand-drive customer cars following from April 2027, though pricing has not yet been announced.

The IEA now forecasts EVs will account for 29% of global sales in 2026, driven by growth beyond China and the US in markets like Australia, Brazil, India, Korea and Vietnam, though China's EV sales are expected to stagnate year-on-year for the first time this decade while still representing over 60% of new cars sold there.EUROPEAN BEV SHARE HITS RECORD IN JUNEEuropean new car registrations rose 13% year-on-year in June with BEV registrations climbing 50.7% to capture a record 25.7% market share of 359,300 units. Combustion vehicles fell 13.6% to 27% market share, while Tesla led EV rankings but growth broadened across Renault, BMW, Skoda, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, Volvo and BYD.RIVIAN BEATS, BUT R2 COSTS MOUNTRivian posted Q2 2026 revenue of $1.658 billion with record gross profit of $179 million and 11% gross margin, improving for five consecutive quarters, but the R2 mid-size SUV ramp added $100 million in extra costs. The company raised full-year delivery guidance to 65,000-70,000 vehicles and narrowed adjusted EBITDA loss guidance to $1.8-2.0 billion, requiring roughly 42,000-47,000 deliveries in the second half.RIVIAN SEES STRONG EARLY R2 CONVERSIONRivian reported R2 Launch Edition reservation-to-order conversion is running meaningfully above expectations, signaling strong demand at the premium price point. The company expects broader R2 trim availability in early 2027, which could drive better momentum when lower-priced versions become available.VW URGES FAST EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE PHEVSVW Group CEO Oliver Blume called for the EU to quickly apply 35% tariffs on Chinese plug-in hybrids similar to those on Chinese battery electric vehicles, citing undercutting of European car makers. Chinese brand sales in Europe rose 101% in H1 2026 to 685,990 units with 9.5% market share, up from 5% a year earlier, with BYD models dominating the PHEV top sellers list.DENZA OPENS UK BAO 5 ORDERSDENZA opened UK orders for the BAO 5 plug-in hybrid SUV priced from £69,500 to £78,880, featuring a dual-motor system delivering 544PS combined power with 62 miles of electric range and up to 100kW DC charging. The entry Elegance trim includes premium features like a 15.6-inch central screen with Google, leather upholstery, panoramic roof and a 18-speaker Devialet audio system.MERCEDES FACES YEARS OF CHINA PRICE PRESSUREMercedes-Benz CEO Ola Källenius warned that China's EV pricing war will persist for years as Chinese brands like BYD push aggressively into the luxury segment, challenging models such as the S-Class and G-Class. Mercedes recorded a 30% second-quarter sales drop in China, though the company is cutting costs and maintaining strength in its top-end luxury and AMG segments.GENESIS PRICES GV60 MAGMA AT $71,495Genesis priced its first performance EV, the GV60 Magma, at $71,495 with deliveries starting in select US states, targeting Mercedes-AMG and BMW M buyers with 600hp in normal use and 641hp in Boost Mode for under four-second 0-60mph acceleration. The car uses an 84kWh battery with 800V architecture enabling 10-80% charging in about 20 minutes and features an electronic limited-slip differential, Drift Mode and simulated engine sounds.CHINESE TRUCK MAKERS USE EUROPE'S FACTORIESChinese truck makers SuperPanther and Sinotruk are entering Europe through contract manufacturing at existing plants rather than building new factories, using the semi-knocked-down method to speed market entry and reduce costs. Steyr Automotive in Austria now assembles SuperPanther's eTopas 600 and Sinotruk's vehicles, with plans to expand to cab production and painting as volumes rise.VATTENFALL TESTS OPEN EV CHARGING BAYSVattenfall InCharge is piloting 300 public chargers in North Brabant and Limburg from August 2026 to January 2027, splitting them between 150 open bays for all vehicles and 150 standard bays reserved for EVs to test faster deployment by removing exclusive EV parking restrictions. The trial addresses an administrative bottleneck rather than a technical one, testing whether chargers can be installed faster without requiring traffic rulings and public objection periods.MAN STARTS MCS-READY ELECTRIC TRUCK PRODUCTIONMAN started series production of MCS-ready electric trucks, the eTGX and eTGS, at its Munich plant as the first series-produced European electric trucks supporting Megawatt Charging System at up to 750kW via MCS. With configurations of 534kWh or 623kWh usable capacity, the trucks achieve 20-80% charges in under 30-40 minutes, fitting within legally required driver breaks for long-haul use.NEXT MX-5 READIES FOR ELECTRIC FUTUREMazda CEO Masahiro Moro said the next MX-5 Miata will be designed with electrification in mind, marking a shift from earlier statements emphasizing the internal combustion engine as the current path forward. Patents from 2025 show Mazda exploring batteries running through the transmission tunnel to support a flexible chassis, with the company aiming to preserve the Miata's core character during its transition to electric power.

Tusindvis af danskere kører allerede i en Mercedes EQA. Nu får efterfølgeren et nyt navn og retter op på forgængerens største svagheder. Mercedes EQA har været populær i Danmark, selv om den aldrig var nogen særlig overbevisende elbil. Den blev bygget på en platform til benzin og diesel, og batteriet under gulvet gav blandt andet en dårlig siddekomfort på bagsædet. Nu forsvinder både bilen og EQA-navnet. Afløseren kommer til at hedde GLA og bliver udviklet som elbil fra bunden. Det giver bedre plads, langt hurtigere opladning og markant længere rækkevidde. I ugens Bilradio ser Christian Schacht og Jan Lang nærmere på den nye GLA og diskuterer, hvad generationsskiftet kan betyde for de tusindvis af brugte EQA, der allerede kører på de danske veje. Også i Bilradio: Priserne på populære brugte elbiler er begyndt at stige igen. Zeekr sender den enorme luksus-SUV 9X til Danmark. Elbiler med benzinmotor som generator stormer frem. Audi lancerer sin største SUV nogensinde med dieselmotor. BMW arbejder på en elektrisk cabriolet med klassisk stoftag. BYD angriber den japanske kei-klasse med den lille Racco. Veteranlastbiler fra flere årtier samles til rally i Sæby. MG4 EV Urban kommer i testgaragen.

A.M. Edition for July 28. Monday's slump in chip stocks spreads to Asian markets. Finance editor Alex Frangos says new concerns that China is catching up in the technological arms race come just as investors brace for updates on how much hyperscalers are spending on the AI buildout. Plus, as Volodymyr Zelensky returns to the White House, WSJ's Marcus Walker says the Ukrainian president is hoping to turn President Trump's fresh optimism about the war against Russia into a promise of more support. And Mercedes-Benz is the latest automaker to warn of headwinds in China, as the country's appetite for foreign cars continues to decline. Luke Vargas hosts.

In 2025 alone, battery EVs already displaced 57 million barrels of oil and kept about €4 billion in European wealth inside the bloc, with the report urging faster electrification alongside a stronger industrial base and energy resilience.FORD AND GEELY PLAN VALENCIA JOINT VENTUREFord and Geely Auto are forming a Europe-focused joint venture at Ford's Valencia plant in Spain, with Ford owning 66% and Geely 34%, aiming to start operations in early 2027 and begin production in 2028. The venture will build a new compact Bronco, a jointly developed multi-energy crossover, and two Geely-branded electric SUVs, while Kuga production continues uninterrupted during the transition.SENATE BILL COULD BAR MERCEDES FROM USThe Senate Commerce Committee advanced bipartisan legislation barring automakers with more than 15% Chinese ownership from selling cars in the US, a threshold Mercedes-Benz would exceed due to nearly 20% Chinese investor ownership. Committee chair Ted Cruz said the bill would effectively ban Mercedes, though the company would have until 2030 to comply or seek a waiver, with the measure still needing full Senate and House approval plus a presidential signature.RIVIAN CUTS BATTERY COST WITH STRUCTURAL PACKRivian slashed R2 battery-pack cost by switching to large-format 4695 cells, cutting cell count from 7,776 to 776, and making the pack structural to the vehicle floor, saving about 7mm of space used for extra protection and venting. The company made the pack non-serviceable at the cell level to simplify validation, instead consolidating serviceable electronics into a rear-seat "powerhouse" that cut high-voltage cabling by roughly 70% versus R1.TESLA SHEDS $214.5 BILLION AFTER EARNINGSTesla shares fell 14.5% to $319.69 after disappointing Q2 earnings, wiping $214.5 billion off its market value in the largest one-day loss in company history. The drop followed missed expectations, a more cautious timeline for Cybercab, Semi and Megapack 3, and Tesla's first negative free cash flow in two years amid $5.8 billion in quarterly capital spending.TESLA PUSHES BACK 2026 PRODUCTION GOALSTesla no longer expects volume production of the Cybercab, Semi, Megapack 3 or Optimus in 2026, blaming the need to scale 4680 battery output, even as quarterly revenue rose 26% to $28.2 billion on stronger deliveries. Despite the sales rebound, net income fell 5% to $1.1 billion, free cash flow turned negative $1 billion, and 2026 capital expenditure is now expected to reach $25 billion.DENZA Z9 GT OPENS UK ORDERSBYD's luxury brand Denza has opened UK orders for the Z9 GT shooting brake, starting at £105,000 for the EV and £95,000 for the plug-in hybrid, more than triple its Chinese starting price. The EV offers up to 599 km WLTP range, a 122.49 kWh Blade Battery 2.0 pack, tri-motor output of about 1,140 hp, and Flash Charging claiming 10-70% in roughly 5 minutes, as BYD tests premium pricing with a Daniel Craig/James Bond campaign.CARMAKERS PRESS UK TO REOPEN 2035 BANBMW, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Bosch privately urged UK ministers in April to keep combustion, hybrid and range-extender vehicles on sale beyond 2035, citing the EU's softened 90% target and customer demand concerns. The Department for Transport insisted the 2035 phase-out is not being renegotiated, while critics including Polestar's UK boss and thinktank ECIU warned that delay risks jobs and climate goals despite the manufacturers employing about 30,000 people in the UK.BMW IX1 AND IX2 WIN FULL UK GRANTBMW secured the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant for the iX1 and iX2 in the UK, tied to its Science Based Targets commitment and the Regensburg plant's renewable energy use, making the iX1 eDrive20 Sport start at £33,315, cheaper than its petrol X1 equivalent. BMW also added a new, more affordable iX2 eDrive20 Sport variant at the same £33,315 starting price, alongside other grant-eligible trims.NHTSA OPENS RULE ON CAR DOOR ESCAPENHTSA has opened formal rulemaking on requiring reliable manual door-escape systems in new US cars, responding to a petition citing incidents where flush, electronic door handles—used notably by Tesla—trapped occupants after crashes or power loss. Bloomberg reported at least 15 deaths linked to such failures, and any final rule could force manufacturers to add mechanical backups and revise crash-test protocols, though the process is expected to take months to years.

If we look at car durability, safety, comfort, efficiency (and features we could never dream of a few decades back), many new cars are a bargain relative to their equivalents. Canada opens its market to 49,000 Chinese-made Xpengs, BYD, Geely, Xaomi cars. However, Tesla's Chinese factory may be first to eagerly respond to that ruling.

Inside Wirtschaft - Der Podcast mit Manuel Koch | Börse und Wirtschaft im Blick
China war jahrelang der wichtigste Absatzmarkt für BMW, Mercedes und Volkswagen. Doch genau dort geraten die deutschen Autobauer immer stärker unter Druck. Chinesische Hersteller wie BYD und Xiaomi gewinnen Marktanteile, während die Verkäufe deutscher Fahrzeuge deutlich zurückgehen. Gleichzeitig wächst auch in Europa der Konkurrenzdruck. „Die entscheidende Frage ist jetzt, ob die deutschen Hersteller den Wandel zur Elektromobilität schnell genug schaffen, um im internationalen Wettbewerb zu bestehen“, so Inside Wirtschaft-Chefredakteur Manuel Koch. Alle Details im Video von der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan reports on the identification of fallen US service members killed in Iranian strikes on Jordan and Iraq, as the Houthis declare a new war on Saudi shipping in the Red Sea. Bryan covers the deepening Middle East conflict, including intel suggesting Iran has hidden nuclear centrifuges deep inside Pickaxe Mountain, soaring bonuses for sailors willing to risk the Strait of Hormuz, and the collapse of Trump's Gaza rebuilding plan. He also breaks down a wave of domestic unrest, including a Leftist firebombing of a federal building in New York City and a mass shooting in Tucson. Plus, Bryan covers a brewing GOP fight over a farm-worker amnesty bill, Gov. Tim Walz's defense of his pardon of a convicted child rapist, a Communist podcaster's fiery speech to College Democrats, China's growing footprint on America's roads and rare-earth supply chains, and encouraging new research on coffee, collagen, and Alzheimer's.

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down which types of investments may be best suited for different Canadian accounts, including TFSAs, RRSPs, FHSAs, RESPs and taxable accounts. We look at Canadian stocks, U.S. stocks, Canadian-listed ETFs, U.S.-listed ETFs and international ETFs, with a focus on tax efficiency, dividend treatment, withholding taxes and capital gains. We also discuss why the “right” account can depend on the type of income an investment produces, whether dividends are Canadian or foreign, and how ETF structure can create different withholding tax outcomes for Canadian investors. In the second half of the episode, we look at four Canadian acquisition-heavy compounders that have struggled recently: Constellation Software, WSP Global, Boyd Group Services and TerraVest. We discuss why each company has been under pressure, including valuation resets, AI disruption fears, macro headwinds, governance concerns and slower end-market demand. We also look at what could drive a recovery for each business. Tickers discussed: CSU.TO, WSP.TO, BYD.TO, TVK.TO, VOO, VFV.TO, QQQ, ASML Subscribe to our Our New Youtube Channel!

Join Amir and I as we reflect on his childhood friend Myke Terry's Bury Your Dead albums, how it was for him to see a close friend joining this band on the rise and how it begat his foray into the touring world. Amir talks about how it was going from friends with the BYD camp to earning their respect and learning the ropes of the touring world on the fly. Some of the struggles he faced as the band quickly climbed the ranks from smaller clubs to doing arenas, and why he subsequently walked took a break from that life. We also get into growing up out east, racism in the metal and hardcore scenes, and how it is to be in business with one of your longest tenured friends and how he and Myke have navigated that without it ruining their friendship along the way. Amir also opens up about his latest endevour, 1Hotslice, which takes an interesting approach to artist managing and consulting form a completely different perspective, and how he came up with it. All this and more in my chat with the renaissance man himself.

This time Patrick and I talk about AI biasing certain moral perspectives and certain cultures. We discussed the pros and cons of e-bikes, why you might need to get a new cable to charge your phone, BYD trying to pull a shifty on its customers, a 20-year study focusing on decreasing the risk of dementia, a bunch of other geeky stuff, and a liberal smattering of conversational bullsh*t. Of course. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode SummaryCould your car become a battlefield in the New Cold War?It sounds like the plot of a spy thriller, but it's actually one of the biggest stories quietly reshaping the automotive industry.This week, The Car Chick® connects the dots between several recent episodes—including vehicle data privacy, EV tax credits, tariffs, and "Made in America"—to reveal the much bigger picture behind the U.S. government's upcoming ban on certain Chinese software and hardware in connected vehicles.You'll learn why China became a global automotive powerhouse, why companies like BYD are dominating worldwide despite never selling cars in the U.S., how connected vehicles have become a national security concern, and what the new 2027 Connected Vehicle Rule could mean for future vehicle availability, pricing, and the cars you may (or may not) be able to buy.This isn't politics. It's about understanding the forces behind today's increasingly unpredictable car market—and why they're likely to affect every car buyer over the next several years.In This EpisodeWhat the "New Cold War" really means—and why cars are now part of it How China built a massive advantage in batteries, semiconductors, and EV technology Why BYD has become one of the world's largest automakers despite having no U.S. dealerships How connected vehicles collect and transmit data Why the debate over connected cars is similar to the concerns surrounding TikTok What the 2027 Connected Vehicle Rule actually does Why Polestar is exiting the U.S. market while Volvo was allowed to stay Which automakers and models could be most affected How these changes may impact vehicle availability, pricing, and future model launches Why understanding what's happening behind the scenes makes today's automotive "bullshittery" make a lot more sense ResourcesSubscribe to The Straight Shift Newsletter for twice-monthly automotive news, market updates, and consumer advice:https://www.thecarchick.comYou can view a full list of resources and episode transcripts here.

In the latest episode in our China Rules series, we look at the rise and potential fall of China’s electric vehicle (EV) industry. Once scoffed at by Elon Musk, China’s EV industry is charging ahead in international markets with its top car brand, BYD, selling more cars than Tesla in 2025. Massive government subsidies and consistent policy have brought China to a point where it now leads in a range of technologies, from batteries to robotaxis. Yet headwinds are emerging, with domestic demand tanking and protectionism surging in the US and Europe. To discuss the rise, and potential demise, of China’s EV behemoth, Louisa and Graeme are joined by Fengming Lu from the Australian National University and Yu Yang, Principal Lead Analyst of Automotives and Robotics at Yole Group, a company that analyses tech markets.

Nvidia is obviously in the news constantly because of the AI boom — but it's also a major supplier to the entire auto industry As head of Nvidia's automotive division, Xinzhou Wu has a front-row seat to all the challenges EVs and autonomous vehicles are facing, especially in the US. And of course, you can't talk about electric cars or vehicle autonomy in the US without talking about Elon Musk and Tesla. So I asked Xinzhou pretty directly if Tesla full self driving can actually do what Elon claims it will be able to do without using LiDAR. You tell me if you think his answer holds up.
