As Prime Day kicks off, we're asking the big questions. Emily Flippen is joined by Jason Hall and Dan Caplinger to tackle three timely stories: - Whether 2025's tariff push is actually “working” (and who's really paying) - How a U.S. sale of TikTok could reshape social commerce just as Amazon's big event feels less special - What the Sept. 30 expiration of federal EV tax credits means for demand at Tesla, BYD, Ford, and beyond - Plus, a lightning round of stocks positioned to benefit from these trends Companies discussed: AMZN, PDD, TSLA, BYDDY, F, SYM Host: Emily Flippen, Jason Hall, Dan Caplinger Producer: Anand Chokkavelu Engineer: Dan Boyd Disclosure: Advertisements are sponsored content and provided for informational purposes only.

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches. The new platform comes with integrated smart charging services and aims to advance commercial vehicle electrification across Europe. KIA PV5: ELECTRIC LIGHT COMMERCIAL VAN Kia's new PV5 electric van, built on a dedicated E-GMP.S platform, offers multiple body styles, battery options up to 258 miles, and fast DC charging of up to 150 kW. Integrated fleet management and warranty features support commercial use, with mass production underway in Korea. ILLINOIS EV FAST CHARGING: $15 FLAT Universal EV Chargers now provide flat-rate, $15-per-session DC fast charging across Illinois, eliminating time-based pricing and surprise surcharges. Drivers use CCS or NACS connectors, scan to start, and benefit from predictable costs with a growing statewide coverage. RIVIAN ADDS LIDAR TO AUTONOMY PLATFORM Rivian will incorporate LiDAR sensors into its next-generation vehicles to bolster their autonomy platform, reflecting industry trends as costs for the technology decrease. Recent hires and tech stack updates align with CEO RJ Scaringe's statements about Rivian's long-term focus on advanced driver-assistance systems.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Juan Manuel de los Reyes analizan primero los números de ventas de vehículos en Estados Unidos y el mundo. Tesla sorprendió al mercado con entregas muy por encima de lo esperado, mientras que GM y Ford reportaron crecimientos sólidos impulsados por sus modelos eléctricos e híbridos. En contraste, BYD sorprendió con un retroceso poco usual en sus ventas. Más allá de los resultados puntuales, los hosts subrayan un cambio estructural.En la segunda parte, el foco se traslada al mercado laboral de recién graduados. Con datos de CNBC y otros reportes, se pone en evidencia que los jóvenes con título universitario enfrentan la tasa de desempleo más alta en casi una década y un mercado poco dinámico, caracterizado por pocas contrataciones y escasas renuncias.

China's EV industry faces its biggest test yet as the December 31, 2025 deadline approaches for massive subsidy cuts. In this deep dive, I break down what's really happening behind the 40,000+ NIO ES8 orders that crashed their system, why companies like BMW, Toyota, and Tesla are recalling hundreds of thousands of vehicles despite better technology, and which EV manufacturers will survive when subsidies disappear.The numbers are staggering: purchase tax exemptions dropping from 30,000 to 15,000 yuan, delivery delays pushing into 2026, and consumer complaints up 37% year-over-year. But here's the twist - the companies recalling products might actually be the strongest players in the market.I analyze the real conversion rates behind inflated order numbers (hint: only 10-30% of "orders" convert to actual sales), the supply chain crisis hitting CATL and BYD Semiconductor with 24-hour overtime shifts, and why NIO CEO William Li warned Q1 2026 could see 50% demand collapse.This isn't just about NIO - this affects Tesla, BYD, XPeng, Li Auto, and every player in the world's largest EV market. When subsidies end, only companies with genuine technology advantages, sustainable cost structures, and corporate responsibility will remain standing.Key topics covered: China EV subsidy policy changes, NIO ES8 production capacity crisis, purchase tax exemption ending December 2025, automotive recall trends, supply chain challenges, order inflation in Chinese EV market, Q1 2026 demand forecast, battery swap advantages, and what separates surviving companies from failing ones.Whether you're invested in Chinese EV stocks, considering purchasing an electric vehicle, or tracking the future of automotive technology, this analysis explains what mainstream media won't tell you about the coming industry shakeup.NIO stock, China EV subsidies, electric vehicles China, NIO ES8, purchase tax exemption, Chinese EV market, Tesla China, BYD stock, EV investment 2025, automotive recalls, William Li NIO, battery swap technology, EV supply chain, Q1 2026 forecast, Li Auto, XPeng, China automotive policy, EV subsidy ending, NIO bull case, electric vehicle stocks, CATL battery, China NEV policy, EV market crash, automotive industry analysis, EV stock analysis, Chinese stocks, green energy investingTAGS (500 characters):

The future of batteries—including a surprising chemistry that works all the way down to –50°C. We'll also look at New York City's new speed limit for e-bikes, the world's first driverless truck border crossing, and how a listener in Japan pressed Saskatchewan's premier on renewables. CORRECTION: 600,000 tons of hydrogen does not produce 200 terawatt hours of electricity. It's only 2! AI halucinated and let us down. We appologize. We explore whether Saskatchewan really is “too cold to decarbonize,” with insights from researchers like Brett Dolter and Stanford's Mark Z. Jacobson. Plus, we compare the province's energy choices with bold projects in northern China and the Netherlands, where renewables are surging ahead despite tough climates. In listener mail, Jon from Japan updates us on solar and EV progress in his city, proving that persistence pays off. And in the Lightning Round, we'll cover fossil fuel declines in Europe, China's new climate pledge, a Canadian wildfire twist that helped crops, India's nuclear expansion, Nigeria's solar boom, and BYD's massive new battery breakthrough. Wind-solar-hydrogen integrated demonstration project in Manzhouli, China.

Le quatrième constructeur mondial annonce l'arrêt temporaire de plusieurs sites européens, alors même que ses ventes repartent légèrement à la hausse. Une décision qui illustre les difficultés profondes de l'automobile européenne, confrontée à la concurrence chinoise, aux coûts élevés et aux incertitudes réglementaires. Stellantis, qui réunit Peugeot, Citroën, Fiat et Opel, a décidé de suspendre la production dans plusieurs de ses usines européennes pendant trois semaines cet automne. Une annonce paradoxale, intervenue quelques jours avant la publication de chiffres de vente encourageants : en août, le groupe a enregistré une hausse, la première depuis plus d'un an. Mais sur un an, les ventes restent en recul de 10 %. Les stocks s'accumulent, et leur maintien coûte cher. D'où cette suspension temporaire, symbole des turbulences qui frappent toute l'industrie automobile européenne. À lire aussiComment l'UE peut relancer son économie face à la Chine et les États-Unis Un marché européen fragilisé et incertain Les constructeurs souffrent d'un marché en perte de vitesse. Les consommateurs conservent plus longtemps leurs véhicules et hésitent au moment d'acheter : faut-il choisir l'électrique, l'hybride ou rester au thermique ? L'interdiction programmée des moteurs essence et diesel en 2035, que Bruxelles vient de décider de réexaminer, entretient ce flou. À cela s'ajoutent des coûts de production élevés en Europe – énergie, charges sociales, réglementation stricte – et un retard considérable sur les batteries. Selon un rapport des équipementiers, l'industrie européenne accuse un désavantage de 15 % à 35 % face à ses concurrents chinois. À lire aussiComment expliquer les difficultés de l'industrie européenne? La percée chinoise et le risque social Ce handicap se traduit directement dans les ventes : le constructeur chinois BYD a vu ses immatriculations bondir de 200 % en un an sur le continent. Moins chères, mieux équipées et intégrées dans un écosystème efficace, les voitures chinoises séduisent de plus en plus de consommateurs. Un contraste amer pour l'Europe, pourtant riche en brevets et en savoir-faire. Si rien ne change, 350 000 emplois seraient menacés, selon une étude du cabinet Roland Berger. Faute de champion unique à l'échelle européenne, chaque pays défendant ses marques nationales, l'industrie automobile se retrouve à un carrefour. Comme le résume Antonio Filosa, patron de Stellantis : c'est désormais « une bataille pour la survie » et pour la place de l'Europe dans le secteur.

En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial, nos centramos en Xiaomi y su estrategia para 2027, año en el que planea lanzar sus automóviles en el mercado europeo. Así lo confirmó Xu Fei, vicepresidenta de la compañía, en una entrevista con CNBC. Por ahora, solo se ha dado a conocer el año de llegada, ya que aún no se han revelado los modelos específicos ni los precios. Este desembarco ocurrirá en un entorno altamente competitivo, donde las matriculaciones han experimentado un repunte por segundo mes consecutivo, y donde los fabricantes europeos están comenzando a recuperar terreno. Xiaomi se enfrentará a rivales de peso como Stellantis, que ha registrado un crecimiento en sus ventas tras un periodo difícil. Renault y el grupo Volkswagen también muestran señales de recuperación. Además, la empresa china deberá observar de cerca la rivalidad entre Tesla y BYD, en la que esta última ha tomado ventaja durante dos meses seguidos. La ambición de Xiaomi es clara: su ejecutiva expresó su deseo de que, en un plazo de 15 a 20 años, la compañía se convierta en uno de los actores más relevantes a nivel mundial en el sector automovilístico. El Xiaomi YU7, presentado el 26 de junio, ha generado grandes expectativas, con 200.000 reservas realizadas en solo tres minutos. Este éxito le permitió a la empresa colarse en el top 10 de ventas de coches en China. No obstante, Xiaomi no pierde de vista su negocio principal: los smartphones. Aunque no se dieron novedades sobre el esperado Xiaomi 17 —modelo con el que pretenden competir contra Apple—, sí se anunció la gama Xiaomi 15T, que incluirá una versión estándar y una versión Pro, con un precio aproximado de 650 dólares. Durante un evento en Múnich, Xiaomi también mostró nuevos productos tecnológicos con los que busca fortalecer su presencia en Europa. Entre las novedades se encuentran la serie de tablets Redmi Pad 2 Pro, con mejoras en sonido y carga rápida, el reloj inteligente Watch S4 con batería de larga duración, y la televisión Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026. Además, llegarán a España los robots aspiradores Robot Vacuum 5 y 5 Pro, ampliando así su oferta de productos inteligentes para el hogar.

XPENG just raised $100 million through asset-backed securities at AAA ratings with 2.28% rates - cheaper than China's government benchmark! This proves every EV startup MUST raise capital to compete, not just NIO.In this episode, I break down why NIO's recent $1 billion raise and XPENG's ABS deal show the same pattern across ALL Chinese EV companies. The dilution fear is missing the bigger picture.Key Points Covered:XPENG's groundbreaking ABS deal details and what AAA ratings meanWhy 2.28% coupon rates signal strong market confidenceHow NIO's Q4 profitability roadmap actually makes senseLi Bin's 150,000 delivery target and 16-17% gross margin goalsWhy capital raising is industry standard, not company weaknessThe real difference between smart capital deployment vs desperationThis isn't about being a NIO bull or bear - it's about understanding how capital-intensive industries work during massive transitions. Tesla had Elon's wealth, BYD has scale, but companies like NIO and XPENG must access capital markets strategically.The market is telling us something when XPENG gets AAA ratings and sub-benchmark rates. When NIO completes $1B raises in hours with international demand. The smart money isn't worried about dilution - they're positioning for the profitability inflection point.Whether you're invested in NIO, XPENG, Li Auto, or just want to understand EV market dynamics, this analysis cuts through the noise with real data and strategic thinking.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1153: Carvana expands its dealership experiment in Dallas, Berkshire Hathaway closes the books on its massive BYD bet, and Amazon steps up its AI game with a chat assistant for advertisers.Show Notes with links:Carvana is making another big move into franchised new-car sales, and this time it's happening in Dallas. The company has agreed to acquire Park Cities Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram-Fiat, marking its second foray into the world of traditional dealerships.This is Carvana's second franchised dealership after buying Jerry Seiner CDJR in Casa Grande, Arizona, earlier this year.Wood Motor Co. owner Chip Johnson, who sold the Dallas store, said it was simply the right time to sell and Carvana's offer made sense for the future of the dealershipThe deal reflects Carvana's ongoing experiment in blending its digital-first model with the in-person dealership experience.A Carvana spokesperson said: “We are in the very early days of testing as a franchise dealer… and we look forward to continuing to learn as we focus on delivering exceptional customer experiences.”Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway have officially cashed out of their wildly successful bet on Chinese EV maker BYD. After holding the stock for 17 years, Berkshire confirmed it no longer owns a single share.This is the end of a $230 million investment made in 2008 at Charlie Munger's urging, which grew to nearly $9 billion at its peak.BYD shares skyrocketed about 3,890% during Berkshire's ownership, making it one of the firm's most lucrative EV-related plays.Buffett hasn't given a detailed reason for the exit but has voiced concern about geopolitical risks tied to China and Taiwan.On BYD, Buffett told CNBC: “It's an extraordinary company run by an extraordinary person, but I think that we'll find things to do with the money that I'll feel better about.”Amazon is stepping deeper into AI for marketers, rolling out a conversational chat assistant designed to act as a “creative partner” for brands advertising on its platform.The tool lives inside Amazon's Creative Studio and is launching in beta at no cost to advertisers.This is Amazon's first conversational AI ad assistant, built to help with research, brainstorming, storyboarding, and producing display and video ads.The assistant uses Amazon's massive shopper data and Bedrock foundation models like Nova and Anthropic Claude to give marketers campaign-ready assets.It's being pitched as a way to level the playing field, especially for smaller brands without big agency budgets.Amazon's VP Jay Richman said: “This is about more than speed — it's about giving every advertiser and agency access to the kind of strategic, high-quality creative support that once only large brands could afford.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Warren Buffett acaba de zerar sua posição na BYD, maior montadora de elétricos da China, levantando dúvidas sobre a sustentabilidade do setor. Com modelos de negócios dependentes de subsídios, margens comprimidas e práticas financeiras arriscadas, surgem sinais de que há uma bolha em formação. O próprio CEO da Great Wall Motors chegou a comparar a situação com a Evergrande, ícone do colapso imobiliário chinês.Neste vídeo, analisamos como os incentivos do Partido Comunista distorceram o mercado, o papel da BYD nesse processo, o impacto no fluxo de caixa das montadoras e por que essa crise pode reverberar muito além da China — inclusive no Brasil.

Dat ABN Amro een overnameprooi was, daar werd al langer over geroddeld. Maar het blijken de Belgen die er wel interesse in hebben. De Belgische concurrent KBC overweegt volgens Bloomberg een overname. Er is nog wel één discussiepunt binnen de Belgische bank: hoeveel hebben we ervoor over? Het onderzoek daarnaar zou nog in een vroeg stadium zijn, maar beleggers sorteren er wel alvast op voor. Of we er serieus rekening mee moeten houden dat ABN Amro binnenkort van onze AEX vertrekt, dat hoor je deze aflevering. Diezelfde AEX is sinds vandaag trouwens een stukje groter. Er zitten nu 30 bedrijven in, in plaats van 25. Al wordt er op die eerste dag van de uitbreiding alweer gespeculeerd hoe lang de zaken zo blijven, want op de aandelen Just Eat Takeaway en JDE Peet's staat alweer een 'verkocht'-bord. Wij speculeren lekker mee wie er dan vervolgens weer een plekje in de hoofdindex verdienen. En we vertellen je ook nog waarom Warren Buffet uit de Chinese autobouwer BYD stapt én wat hij eraan verdiend heeft. We onderzoeken hoe ver de bodem reikt voor bodemonderzoeker Fugro. En je hoort waarom een bedrijf dat nog helemaal niks verkoopt, toch ruim 60 procent hoger staat op de Nasdaq vandaag. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today we're taking a look back at an intense week of EV launches and debuts at the IAA Mobility 2025 show in Munich. IAA this year showcased an unprecedented transition toward electrification across all manufacturers, with nearly every debut featuring some form of electric or hybrid propulsion. Chinese manufacturers demonstrated particular strength in battery technology and pricing competitiveness, while established European brands focused on premium features and performance electrification. The show marked a clear inflection point where electric vehicles are no longer niche products but mainstream offerings across all segments and price points.

HEADLINE: China's EV Market Faces Global Headwinds and Domestic Overcapacity GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: Despite innovation, China's electric vehicle market, led by BYD, is experiencing production drops, price wars, and significant international pushback due to quality, surveillance fears, and predatory trade practices, exposing a broader economic deflation. China's EV market leader BYD saw production drops amidst price wars and over 150 producers. Global markets, including the US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, resist Chinese EVs due to surveillance concerns and predatory trade practices. Beijing maintains employment through municipal loans, but widespread overcapacity and deflation are significant challenges. 1950 PEKING
CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 9-17-2025 FIRST HOUR 9-915HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace, while Israel engages in difficult urban warfare in Gaza, and the US flexes naval power against Venezuela, all against a backdrop of potential regional miscalculations. Russia's Zapad 2025 includes tactical nuclear training with Belarus, as unidentified drones probe Polish territory. Israel faces six months of challenging urban combat in Gaza, learning from Fallujah. The USconducts naval exercises near Venezuela, potentially aimed at destabilizing Maduro. Regional flashpoints in Syria risk accidental escalation between Turkey and Israel. 1930 POLAND 915-930 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Global Tensions Escalate: Nuclear Drills, Urban Warfare, and Naval Probes Amidst Shifting Alliances GUEST NAME: Jeff McCausland SUMMARY: Russia conducts tactical nuclear drills with Belarus as drones probe Polish airspace, 930-945 HEADLINE: EU Schemes to Fund Ukraine with Frozen Russian Assets, While Oil Prices Fluctuate GUEST NAME: Michael Bernstam SUMMARY: The EU devises a "clever scheme" to fund Ukraine with Russia's frozen assets by converting cash into zero-interest bonds held by Euroclear, effectively confiscating the funds while navigating legal obstacles, as global oil markets remain volatile. The EU and G7 plan to use $170 billion of frozen Russian assets, largely held by Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine. This "confiscation" involves the European Union issuing zero-interest bonds to Euroclear, allowing cash to be transferred to Ukraine as an unpayable loan. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices fluctuate, influenced by sanctions and Trump's calls to stop buying Russian oil. 945-1000 HEADLINE: Challenging Prospect Theory: Increasing Sensitivity to Loss in Human Behavior GUEST NAME: Tim Kane SUMMARY: Professor Tim Kane questions Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, presenting experiments that suggest humans exhibit increasing sensitivity to loss, rather than diminishing, impacting our understanding of complex rationality beyond financial gambles. Professor Tim Kane challenges Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, arguing that while losses hurt more than gains, people show increasing sensitivity to successive losses, not diminishing sensitivity. His chocolate experiment demonstrated higher demands to part with each subsequent piece, suggesting a "complex rationality" that differs in non-financial contexts from pure monetary gambles. SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Nepal's "Gen Z Revolution" Against Corruption and Inequality, Amidst Geopolitical Influence GUEST NAME: Kelly Currie SUMMARY: Nepal faces its biggest governance challenge in decades as disillusioned youth, frustrated by corrupt elites and deep inequality, ignite a "Gen Z revolution" marked by widespread protests, while China and India vie for influence in the poor, landlocked nation. Nepal is grappling with widespread "Gen Z" youth-led protests, marked by violence and targeting government institutions, driven by anger over corrupt elites and severe inequality. An interim government is forming to stabilize the country and organize elections. Meanwhile, Nepal, Asia's second poorest nation, is a growing battleground for influence between China and India. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: China's Deflationary Cycle: A Consequence of Overproduction and Centralized Control GUEST NAME: Anne Stevenson-Yang SUMMARY: China is mired in a fearful deflationary cycle driven by chronic overproduction and a government unable to shift from supply-side investment to stimulating consumption, perpetuating a "race to the bottom" under CCP leadership. China faces widespread deflation, causing consumer uncertainty and stemming from government-backed overproduction. The CCP leadership pours money into factories to meet GDP targets, despite overbuilt infrastructure and property. This "involution," or economy eating itself, continues due to a lack of innovative solutions and reluctance to cede economic control. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: China's Covert Strategic Support for Russia Fuels NATO Border Tensions GUEST NAME: Victoria Coates SUMMARY: China is actively supporting Russia's efforts to destabilize NATO's eastern flank, particularly through the Polish-Belarusian border, by pushing migrants and using proxies. This "partnership without limits," declared by Xi and Putin, aims to keep the United States entangled in European conflicts, preventing a focus on East Asia. Poland, however, remains resolute and is strengthening its defenses. China covertly aids Russia in destabilizing NATO via incidents on the Polish-Belarusian border, pushing migrants and using drones. This "partnership without limits" between Xi and Putin aims to keep the US preoccupied in Europe and the Middle East, preventing a focus on East Asia. Despite this, Poland, led by President Karol Nawrocki, remains resolute, strengthening its defenses and economy. 1045-1100 HEADLINE: China's EV Market Faces Global Headwinds and Domestic Overcapacity GUEST NAME: Alan Tonelson SUMMARY: Despite innovation, China's electric vehicle market, led by BYD, is experiencing production drops, price wars, and significant international pushback due to quality, surveillance fears, and predatory trade practices, exposing a broader economic deflation. China's EV market leader BYD saw production drops amidst price wars and over 150 producers. Global markets, including the US, Japan, Germany, and South Korea, resist Chinese EVs due to surveillance concerns and predatory trade practices. Beijing maintains employment through municipal loans, but widespread overcapacity and deflation are significant challenges. THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for essential metals and select food items are spiking due to high demand and supply constraints, mirroring political unrest and leadership challenges within the UK's Labour Party. Simon Constable reports on rising commodity prices: copper, iron ore, and aluminum are up due to high demand for data centers and supply issues. Coffee prices have spiked by 51%, though cocoa and Brent crude have moderated. In the UK, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer faces internal dissent and "plastic patriotism" protests, with talk of replacing him by early next year. 1115-1130 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Commodity Prices Surge Amidst Global Demand and UK Political Turmoil GUEST NAME: Simon Constable SUMMARY: While the south of France enjoys a pleasant harvest, global commodity prices for 1130-1145 HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence GUEST NAMES: Caleb Weiss and Bill Roggio SUMMARY: The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) has made its first international bust in West Africa, revealing how Islamic State (ISIS) cells, particularly the wealthy ISWAP, are funding global attacks and supporting ISISoperations, including those in Iraq, amidst shifting jihadist strongholds and Western withdrawal from the Sahel. The Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) revealed its first international operation, dismantling an Islamic State (ISIS) cell in West Africa. This cell, linked to the powerful ISWAP, was financing attacks in Europe and supporting ISIS operations in Iraq. This highlights Africa's growing importance as a hub for the global Islamic State network, amidst a complex regional jihadist landscape. 1145-1200 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Iraqi Intelligence Uncovers Global Islamic State Network, Highlighting African Hub's Expanding Influence FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings GUEST NAME: Peter Berkowitz SUMMARY: Peter Berkowitz analyzes Cass Sunstein's defense of liberalism "under siege," highlighting criticisms from both the new right and the woke left, and arguing that liberalism's own principles, when taken to extremes, contribute to its current pressures. Peter Berkowitz reviews Cass Sunstein's book On Liberalism: In Defense of Freedom, where Sunstein argues liberalism is "under siege" from criticisms on the right (permissiveness, criminality) and left (too weak on inequality, racism). Berkowitz suggests Sunstein mischaracterizes liberalism by overemphasizing "experiments of living" over equal rights, and neglects how liberalism's vices contribute to its challenges. 1215-1230 CONTINUED HEADLINE: Re-evaluating Liberalism: Cass Sunstein's Defense and Critiques of its Manifest Failings 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays GUEST NAME: Sinan Ciddi SUMMARY: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman ambitions are driving Turkey to increasingly confront Israel through vilifying rhetoric, alleged support for Hamas cells, and a growing military footprint across the Mediterranean and Africa, risking miscalculation and armed conflict in Syria. Erdogan is pursuing Neo-Ottomanism, escalating tensions with Israelthrough vilifying rhetoric and alleged MIT involvement in Hamas plots. Turkey's military expansion, including bases in Somalia and northern Cyprus, and advanced weaponry like drones and hypersonic missiles, positions it to dominate the Mediterranean and challenge Israel. Miscalculation in Syria poses a risk of armed conflict. 1245-100 AM HEADLINE: Erdogan's Neo-Ottoman Ambitions: Turkey's Escalating Confrontation with Israel and Regional Power Plays

The sporty, composite-bodied SUV pairs dual motors and a petrol engine for 300 km range, with a production debut expected around 2027 or 2028. GEELY LAUNCHES EX5 ELECTRIC SUV IN UK Geely has launched its EX5 electric SUV in the UK, starting at £31,990 and offering up to 267 miles of range on a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with rapid charging. Featuring trims up to £36,990, the EX5 targets fleet buyers, includes a six-year warranty, and will begin deliveries in late October. VW DELAYS ID. GOLF AND ID. ROC TO 2030 Volkswagen has postponed production of its ID. Golf and ID. Roc EVs to 2030, with the ID. Roc debuting first on the new SSP platform, followed by the ID. Golf. The delay triggers a reshuffle of its plant allocations, with related internal combustion and EV model moves now set for clarification in annual planning later in the year. BERLIN PLANT RAISES OUTPUT DESPITE SALES DROP Tesla's Berlin Grünheide factory is increasing its production targets in response to anticipated market strength, despite ACEA reporting a 44% sales drop in the EU and a 39% decline in German registrations through August. Tesla attributes the downturn to Model Y design updates disrupting sales, with Norway showing strong growth and production revised upwards for Q3 and Q4. ALL-ELECTRIC AUDI RS6 E-TRON FUTURE UNCLEAR The fully electric Audi RS6 e-tron may be canceled, even as prototypes continue road testing, with Audi expected instead to launch a plug-in hybrid RS6 alongside its traditional combustion model. Both vehicles were planned to share RS6 design cues but sit on different platforms, and initial plans had the EV debuting before the plug-in hybrid's 2026 arrival. HONG KONG PURSUES LOCAL EV ASSEMBLY BASE Hong Kong is negotiating with multiple Chinese carmakers, including FAW Group, to establish local EV production facilities as part of a push for strategic industry and international expansion. High local costs and China's overcapacity drive suppliers to Hong Kong's financial sector, with major players like Contemporary Amperex Technology already setting up headquarters and listing on the city's stock exchange. LUCID TO EXPAND IN ASIA, BUT NOT CHINA Lucid Motors plans expansion into Asian markets but will avoid China, citing heavy subsidies and overcapacity as reasons for staying out. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff expressed confidence in Lucid's technology and competitiveness while focusing future models on the $50,000 segment and higher, not the low-cost market. EXTENDING AUSTRALIAN EV TAX EXEMPTION COULD ADD 1.5 MILLION TO ROADS Extending Australia's EV fringe-benefits tax exemption to 2035 could add 1.5 million electric cars to Australian roads, according to Electric Vehicle Council modelling. The policy has driven over 100,000 additional EV sales since 2022, with further benefits possible for plug-in hybrids and the second-hand market. NISSAN AND CHARGESCAPE LAUNCH V2G PILOT Nissan and ChargeScape have launched a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot in Silicon Valley, using Nissan EVs and Fermata Energy bidirectional chargers to support grid demand for local data centers. The project aims to set a model for broader V2G integration through California's virtual power plant network and beyond. FORD TOUTS MOVE TO LFP BATTERIES Ford will manufacture lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries at its BlueOval Michigan plant from 2026, using CATL technology for future vehicles including a mid-size pickup. LFP batteries offer lower cost and better safety, though less energy density, and Ford remains open to evolving battery chemistry based on market needs and possible new plants. TOYOTA UK PROFIT FALLS TO £462,000 Toyota Motor UK's pre-tax profits fell sharply to £462,000 with revenues down over £135m, attributed to fleet mix management and compliance with tighter ZEV mandates. Despite a drop in market share, Toyota will expand its EV offering next year, including the all-electric Urban Cruiser SUV debuting in late 2025. USED EV CREDIT WORTH $4,000 ENDING SOON The U.S. federal Used Clean Vehicle Credit, worth up to $4,000 for electric or plug-in hybrid cars priced under $25,000, expires September 30. The credit drove significant price declines and saw models like the Tesla Model 3 and Chevy Bolt become notably affordable, making immediate purchases attractive for eligible buyers. UK REQUIRES LOCK UPGRADES FOR CHINESE CARS UK insurers have required Chinese car manufacturers to improve their vehicles' anti-theft devices and locking systems to better meet local standards amid rising theft rates, now at 102,000 annually. Brands like BYD have worked with regulators and added advanced technology to boost security as Chinese car sales surge in Britain.

Europe led growth, North America hit a record as buyers rushed to secure tax credits, and China saw robust, if moderating, expansion, while BYD cut its sales target but expects significant overseas volume. FORD'S FOCUS-SIZED RECOVERY PLAN Ford will launch a new mid-sized crossover in 2027, built in Valencia, Spain, reflecting a shift toward affordable EVs following Fiesta and Focus factory closures. The model will compete directly with the likes of Tiguan and Sportage at a mid-£30,000 price point—aiming to recover relevance with lower emissions and competitive pricing without expecting past market share highs. EUROPEAN AUTOMAKERS SEEK 2035 FLEXIBILITY European automotive leaders are calling for flexibility in the EU's 2035 ban on petrol and diesel cars, citing tougher global supply chains and increased reliance on Chinese battery suppliers. Automakers advocate for hybrids and transitional support beyond 2035, while member states like Italy and France push for exceptions, highlighting the division over the full fossil fuel phase-out deadline. TOYOTA BUILDS EV SUVS IN KENTUCKY Toyota will begin producing its first electric vehicles in the U.S. next year, including two three-row SUVs at its Georgetown, Kentucky site, part of a $1.3 billion investment focused on domestic EV growth. The move aims to serve rising American demand, add jobs, and advance Toyota toward carbon neutrality by 2050, while balancing hybrids, plug-ins, and full EVs. STELLANTIS CANCELS ELECTRIC RAM 1500 REV Ram has scrapped its planned all-electric 1500 REV pickup in favor of a plug-in hybrid model, citing weak demand for battery-only trucks and financial constraints at Stellantis. The new Ram REV, featuring a gasoline generator with over 690 miles of range, appeals to users needing greater towing and long-distance capability, while Stellantis refocuses on hybrids and profitable platforms. NISSAN MICRA LIVE EVENT SHOWCASES NEW SUPERMINI EV Nissan unveiled its fully electric sixth-generation MICRA in Rotterdam, built on the dedicated AmpR platform, offering two battery sizes, 198–260 miles WLTP range, and advanced handling and tech features. Starting at £21,495 in the UK with government support, deliveries begin January 2026 as MICRA leads Nissan's European EV lineup expansion. GM REAFFIRMS EV-ONLY FUTURE, SLOWS TRANSITION GM CEO Mary Barra reaffirmed the company's long-term goal of going all-electric by 2035, positioning it as a strategic "North Star". However, she acknowledged that the full transition may take decades due to industry complexity and evolving market and regulatory challenges. AMAZON TESTS GM BRIGHTDROP DELIVERY VANS Amazon has started testing GM's BrightDrop electric vans alongside its existing Rivian fleet, part of its strategy to deploy 100,000 electric delivery vehicles by 2030. The pilot comes as GM faces production slowdowns, offering a chance to boost BrightDrop's visibility and demand while Amazon diversifies its supplier base. VOLVO CEO EXPECTS OTHER BRANDS TO FAIL Volvo recently rehired former CEO Håkan Samuelsson, who affirmed the inevitability of electrification and predicted only a few Chinese brands will dominate globally in the next decade. He expects legacy automakers will struggle, with survival dependent on agility and partnership with advanced firms like Geely, as newcomers like Tesla and BYD reshape the market. CHINA AUTO INDUSTRY THREAT TO GLOBAL MARKET Industry experts at the Detroit Automotive News Congress warned that U.S. automakers are underestimating the competitive threat posed by Chinese brands, whose EV market share in China surged to 50%. Fierce home competition is fueling aggressive export plans, targeting Europe, Mexico, and North America, with cost and technology advantages challenging established automakers. HYUNDAI-LG GEORGIA BATTERY PLANT STARTUP DELAY Hyundai and LG's Georgia battery plant faces a two- to three-month startup delay after a major U.S. immigration raid detained hundreds of workers, most employed by LG suppliers. Hyundai will offset production impact by sourcing batteries from other facilities while both governments negotiate skilled labor solutions for future projects. SCOUT CEO ARGUES FOR DIRECT SALES STRATEGY Scout Motors CEO Scott Keogh stated the company will pursue direct sales, comparing traditional dealer model unfavorably to buying directly from Apple and advocating for a seamless brand experience. He dismissed dealers as a distraction, reinforcing direct-to-consumer as the company's strategic retail approach. MAINE DISTRICTS FACE ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS SERVICE ISSUES Maine school districts have seen electric buses sidelined due to unresolved service issues, with manufacturer Lion Electric's bankruptcy halting repairs and parts, leaving districts stuck with non-functional vehicles under federal grant terms. The state faces mounting frustration, a federal lawsuit against Lion, and reliance on emergency replacement options while the EPA oversees the troubled program.
