After 15 years of investor neglect, emerging markets are trading at a steep discount to developed markets. Baillie Gifford's Roddy Snell sees three reasons for optimism: attractive valuations, stronger macroeconomic fundamentals and faster economic growth.But what could finally trigger a comeback?Snell points to two key factors: China and the US dollar. He believes the worst may be behind in China — and argues that in areas ranging from electric vehicles and batteries to solar power and AI, Chinese companies are already leading the world.In this episode, we discuss BYD, CATL, Luckin Coffee, Petrobras, Kaspi, EO Technics and the semiconductor giants TSMC, Samsung and SK Hynix. Snell explains why his funds have such large positions in these three semiconductor companies, and why he believes the current memory-chip cycle may be fundamentally different from those of the past.We also talk about the biggest risks to the emerging-markets thesis — from a US recession to problems in China and tensions around Taiwan.And finally: will emerging markets get the green, red or black mustard?The interview was recorded in Edinburgh on August 21, 2026. In co-operation with Baillie Gifford.

Volvo says the deal grows retailer sales and service revenue without the financial risk of investing in the brand — notable given it sold its 30% Lynk & Co stake to Zeekr for 5.4 billion yuan (about $805m).VOLVO DROPS EX40 AS EX50 EXPECTED IN 2027Volvo is discontinuing the EX40 in the US and Canada, with its expected replacement, the slightly larger EX50 on the cheaper SPA3 platform and priced in the high $40,000s, not due at dealerships until autumn 2027. The EX40 rode on the near decade-old CMA platform and sold best through the Care by Volvo subscription scheme that ended in 2024; the EX60 P6 now marks Volvo's electric SUV entry point at $59,795 against the EX40's $56,545.NISSAN REVIVES PIXO AS ITS MOST AFFORDABLE EUROPEAN EVNissan will revive the Pixo name for its cheapest European EV, an A-segment model sitting below the Micra and premiering on 23 September 2026, built on Renault's RGEV Small platform alongside the Twingo and Dacia Spring at Novo Mesto in Slovenia. Expected to be mechanically identical to the Twingo Electric with a 27.5 kWh CATL LFP pack and around 263 km of range, it gets Nissan-designed styling drawing on late-80s and early-90s Pike cars such as the Figaro and Be-1, against Twingo and Spring prices of €20,000 and €18,000.POLESTAR FORMULA 2030 SIGNALS POLESTAR 2 AND 7 STYLINGPolestar has revealed Formula 2030, a design concept previewing the next Polestar 2 due in 2027 and the forthcoming Polestar 7, tied to its 2030 strategy for higher sales and a route to profitability. Only a dark image of the front has been released, showing a lower, wider stance, Dual Blade headlights and a motorsport-style vertical wiper, marking a new phase under design head Philipp Römers that Polestar calls an evolution rather than a replacement of its existing language.MERCEDES VLE 400 4MATIC STARTS AT €78,500Mercedes-Benz has added the 310 kW VLE 400 4MATIC, which gains a rear-axle motor for all-wheel drive, a 6.5-second 0-100 km/h time and 2.5 tonnes of towing against the VLE 300's 1.75 tonnes, from €78,500 (about $91,500) with five seats or €79,000 with six. The performance costs range: both share a 115 kWh usable NMC pack, but the 4MATIC manages up to 654 km WLTP versus 713 km, with 800-volt architecture allowing DC charging at up to 300 kW.AMAZON STARTS EACTROS 600 DELIVERIES IN GERMANYAmazon has begun larger-scale German deliveries with Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks on middle-mile runs between logistics centres and urban areas, drawn from a 2025 order of more than 200 trucks — around 50 for Germany and 140 for the UK, where operations started in late 2025. The trucks carry 621 kWh across three LFP packs for around 500 km of range and charge at up to 400 kW, as Amazon installs several hundred truck charging points and commits more than €1bn to electrifying its European transport network, including over €400m in Germany.RENAULT SETS TWO-YEAR FLOOR FOR VEHICLE DEVELOPMENTRenault is targeting two years or less from concept freeze to public reveal but CEO Francois Provost says it will go no faster, treating the timetable as a quality floor as well as a speed ambition under the Futuready 2030 investor plan. The aim is to match Chinese rivals gaining European share — standard at two years and moving towards 18 months, against three to five years for Western rivals — while avoiding defects and recalls, a concern echoed by Chinese regulators now running a yearlong campaign of unannounced quality and safety inspections.FORD TRANSIT CITY TO COST $50,000 IN AUSTRALIAFord Australia will launch the Transit City in November at AUD$50,000 driveaway (about USD$36,000), claiming the country's most affordable electric van against the Kia PV5 Cargo Long Range at AUD$55,990, with a 56 kWh LFP battery giving 254 km WLTP, 87 kW DC charging, 10-80% in about 33 minutes, a 1085 kg payload and 6.4 cubic metres of cargo space. The price comes with limits — no towing, no V2L, a solid bulkhead with no pass-through or window and colour as the only option — and the van is built by JV partner JMC in Nanchang on the E-Fushun platform rather than being related to the European Transit.BYD UK OPENS 138-SITE APPROVED REPAIR NETWORKBYD UK has launched a nationwide network of 138 approved body repairers developed with Vizion Network, which BYD describes as the UK's largest repair network. Every site uses technicians trained in BYD procedures, genuine parts and manufacturer-specified methods, adding accident repair to an ownership package that already includes a six-year warranty, maintenance support and up to four years of free roadside assistance.ZF PLANS MORE THAN 100 ELECTRIC AXLE DRIVE REPAIR-KIT VARIANTSZF will launch more than 100 repair-kit variants for electric axle drives in the coming weeks, each bundling the components needed for a specific repair as the company targets independent workshops servicing a growing EV fleet, though it has disclosed neither prices nor vehicle applications and has not substantiated its claim to cover around 92% of the European fleet of the 20 most widespread electric models. ZF also plans up to 200 catalogue references for Chinese-brand vehicles in Europe by Q1 2027, covering ten of the most popular Chinese models by the end of that year.

Das Autoleben dauert immer länger. Elf Jahre alt sind die Fahrzeuge auf deutschen Straßen, der Wert steigt kontinuierlich an. Parallel dazu nimmt die Digitalisierung des Automobils beständig zu, manch einer redet gar von „Software-defined Vehicle“, einem Fahrzeug, dessen Funktion vollständig über Bits und Bytes sichergestellt wird. Beide Trends in Einklang zu bringen, ist schon für die Autohersteller eine große Aufgabe. Erst recht gilt dies für den Autohandel und dessen Service-Geschäft. Leitmesse für diese Branche ist die Automechanika in Frankfurt, dort haben wir zwei Experten mit unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zum Werkstattgespräch gebeten. Philipp Kupferschmidt arbeitet seit 20 Jahren für den IT-Beratungskonzern Accenture, seit vier Jahren verantwortet er dort als Geschäftsführer das Automobilgeschäft im deutschsprachigen Raum. Kupferschmidt geht in den Entwicklungsabteilungen der Hersteller ein und aus und weiß daher, wo der Schuh drückt. Seine Vision: Ein Auto per Updates über zwanzig Jahre auf dem neuesten Stand zu halten. Burkhard Weller ist Unternehmer. 1979 verkaufte er in Osnabrück ein erstes Auto, einen Toyota Corolla, als geschäftsführender Gesellschafter gehört ihm mit der Weller-Gruppe verkauft er an 42 Standorten Auto diverser Marken, von BMW bis zu BYD. Zudem führt er den im vergangenen Jahr gegründeten Verband der Autohändler Deutschlands (VAD). Weller sieht in der Digitalisierung eine große Herausforderung für das Servicegeschäft, auch weil die Hersteller versuchen, ihre eigene Wertschöpfung auszubauen.

Engineering stays Chinese via Renault's Shanghai centre, and the car uses  60 kW front motor and 27.5 kWh CATL LFP battery for up to 250 km WLTP.GERMAN BEV SALES RISE 75.1% IN AUGUSTGerman BEV registrations jumped 75.1% year-on-year in August, lifting share from 19% to 32.4% while the overall new-car market grew just 2.6%, and year-to-date BEV sales up 53.1%, for a 26.2% share. Volkswagen led, followed unchanged by Mercedes, BMW, Skoda and Audi, while Chinese challengers grew fastest.KIA PUTS EV3, EV4 AND EV5 GTS ON SALEKia has launched GT versions of the EV3, EV4 and EV5 in Europe, joining the EV6 GT and EV9 GT to cover hatchback and fastback, compact, midsize and three-row SUV formats, though the EV4 GT Fastback skips the UK and neither the EV4 GT nor EV5 GT is planned for the US. All three pair dual-motor all-wheel drive with an 81.4 kWh battery and electronically controlled suspension, plus Kia's Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design simulating a gas guzzler.FORD CONSIDERS COMPACT VEHICLE FOR UEV PLATFORMFord is weighing a compact model on its Universal Electric Vehicle platform, which it says supports body styles from B-car size up to commercial vans. I'll whisper it quietly, but could the Fiesta make a comeback as an EV? Such a car would return Ford to a segment it abandoned long ago.DUFFY URGES FORD TO RECONSIDER OR END CHINESE DEALINGSUS Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote to Ford CEO Jim Farley on September 3, released to media yesterday, urging Ford to reconsider or end dealings with Chinese companies including its CATL licence, a Geely arrangement, reported BYD talks, Lincoln Nautilus production in China and a proposed Chinese-US joint venture framework.  Ford dismissed it as a wrongheaded attempt to capture headlines, noting the White House praised the Michigan plant days before.ICAUR V25 TO MAKE AUSTRALIAN DEBUT IN SYDNEYThe iCaur V25, a boxy retro-styled electric SUV from Chery's youth-focused sub-brand, headlines what organisers call the largest new-model line-up in Everything Electric history at Sydney Showground from September 18-20. Also debuting are Hyundai's STARIA Electric van, GWM's Haval H7 and Cannon PHEV, Cadillac's LYRIQ-V —plus Lepas L6 and L4 previews.SEVERAL 2027 CADILLAC LYRIQ MODELS RETAIN CARPLAY, ANDROID AUTOCadillac's configurator lists Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on several 2027 Lyriq models, an exception to GM's 2023 decision to strip phone mirroring from all future EVs.VOLKSWAGEN PLANS LONG-WHEELBASE ID. BUZZ CARGOVolkswagen is preparing a long-wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo stretching about 5,000 mm — roughly 300 mm longer than the standard van — with cargo volume up from 3.9 to 4.4 cubic metres and load length from 2,208 to 2,405 mm, but maximum payload falling against the short-wheelbase van.83% OF SURVEYED DEALERS BACK UK EV SCRAPPAGE SCHEMESeptember's Startline Used Car Tracker found 83% of surveyed dealers backing a UK scrappage scheme to support EV sales, with only 6% opposing government intervention, 60% wanting the state to promote EV adoption, 61% citing affordability, 26% saying prices are out of reach for too many and 21% pointing to older polluting vehicles.HOYMILES RELEASES 22 KW BIDIRECTIONAL EV CHARGERChinese energy-storage firm Hoymiles released its V2X DC Charger on 8 September, delivering up to 22 kW of bidirectional DC power so an EV can act as a home energy resource, providing backup via V2H during outages and enabling peak shaving and virtual power plant dispatch via V2G. It can draw directly from solar and battery storage, includes an EU MID-certified meter for energy monitoring, and claims 97% peak efficiency in both directions, with charging input of 240–980 V DC and output of 200–1,000 V DC, reversed during discharge.

Hardware still divides the platform: R2 and second-generation R1 vehicles run Unreal Engine 5 for real-time 3D visualisations while first-generation R1s stay on Unreal Engine 4 to preserve screen responsiveness, reflecting the first-gen's 17 electronic control units against the 2024 second-gen's seven-unit zonal architecture, dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin processors and roughly ten times the processing power.REPORTED ID. POLO ORDERS TOP 30,000 BEFORE LAUNCHMore than 30,000 orders for Volkswagen's ID. Polo, priced from €24,995 (about $29,000), have reportedly been placed across Europe before the hatchback's official sales launch, with pre-sales open since late April, demand strongest in Germany and most buyers ordering without having seen or driven the car. A major VW dealer group says the range is effectively sold out with waits of at least ten months, while Volkswagen attributes the delays to strong demand and capacity planned in advance at its Martorell plant in Spain, where it is progressively increasing production.HYUNDAI OPENS STARIA ELECTRIC ORDERS IN EUROPEHyundai has opened European orders for the Staria Electric from €57,450 (about $66,800) for the German Trend nine-seater, using an 84 kWh battery, a 160 kW (218 hp) front motor, up to 430 km (267 miles) WLTP range and an 800V architecture that charges 10-80% in about 20 minutes at 350 kW, plus internal and external 16-amp V2L. At 5,253 mm it is 200 mm longer than the IONIQ 9 and larger than the Kia PV5 and VW ID. Buzz, with up to 1,303 litres of luggage space in nine-seat form, a Prime version adding electric sliding doors, powered tailgate, Highway Assistant 1.5 and a 230V socket, and a Calligraphy seven-seater from €66,950 ($77,800) with Nappa leather, BOSE audio and reclining second-row seats.ELECTRIC VEHICLES OUTSELL PETROL CARS IN AUSTRALIAFully electric vehicles outsold petrol cars in Australia for the first time last month, with 27,078 EVs registered against 25,824 petrol and 23,608 diesel vehicles, taking one in four new-car sales. Including plug-in hybrids, battery-powered vehicles reached 36% of the market while petrol and diesel together fell below 50%, a shift BYD's Paul Ellis put down to falling reluctance and an influx of cheaper Chinese models, leaving public charging capacity as the open question.UK ELECTRIC VAN SHARE HITS RECORD 16.3%UK electric van registrations rose 25.9% to 2,395 units in August, a record 16.3% share of the light commercial vehicle market, with battery-electric vans at 11.0% of new LCV registrations in the year to August. August is traditionally a low-volume month ahead of September's numberplate change, so the share gain may overstate the trend and September will be the clearer test of sustained fleet demand.US DIESEL AVERAGE REACHES $5.85 A GALLONUS diesel hit a record national average of $5.85 a gallon on Friday, according to AAA data cited by the New York Times, 55% above the level at the start of the US war against Iran in late February and above the previous peak set in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine. Diesel powers heavy-duty pickups, commercial fleets and farming, so the rise feeds through to supermarket prices, landing weeks before the midterms in a political climate hostile to EVs despite the household cost relief that switching away from the pumps could deliver.BYD OFFERS UK DISCOUNTS OF UP TO £2,500BYD will cut UK prices by up to £2,500 ($3,300) across its DM-i plug-in and electric range from 10 to 21 September in what it calls its biggest-ever sales event, covering the Dolphin Surf, Dolphin, Sealion 07, Seal U DM-i and Atto 2 DM-i, as the UK's record 25.6% BEV share for the first eight months of 2026 still sits below the 33% mandate. The brand has registered more than 110,000 UK vehicles since March 2023, with registrations up 98% to over 48,000 through August and market share rising to 3.48% from 1.92%, and the Europe-specific Dolphin G DM-i arrives this month from £250 ($330) a month.SPD BACKS EU TARIFFS ON CHINESE PLUG-IN HYBRIDSGermany's Social Democratic Party has backed extending EU tariffs to Chinese plug-in hybrids, closing a gap in measures that levy up to 45% on Chinese-built electric vehicles but leave hybrids untouched, setting out the position in an economic-policy paper calling for more resolute protection against "unfair practices". The stance is a notable shift for the CDU's junior coalition partner, given Germany opposed the 2024 EV tariffs and has long resisted tough measures on China for fear of retaliation against key industries.BC2BC LAUNCHES WEST COAST TRUCK CHARGING CORRIDORThe British Columbia to Baja California ZEV Corridor, or BC2BC, has launched along the I-5, linking California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Baja California with an initial deployment of 20 EV charging stations and three hydrogen fuelling stations for the estimated 10,000 trucks using the route daily. CalSTA, CALSTART/Drive to Zero and UC Davis's Institute of Transportation Studies are coordinating planning and investment, with Volvo Group North America, Southern California Edison, Tesla, EV Realty and King Fio Trucking represented at the Port of Long Beach launch.TESLA AND BYD DRIVE KOREAN IMPORT GROWTHImported vehicle sales in Korea rose 9.2% year on year to 29,817 units in August, driven largely by Tesla and BYD, while all five domestic carmakers recorded declines. Union walkouts from July into August lasted around 60 hours and were estimated to have cost about 55,000 vehicles of production, contributing alongside fewer summer holiday production days to a 7.6% fall at Kia, and growth in a market long led by BMW and Mercedes-Benz came mainly from lower-priced EVs.STELLANTIS OFFERS REFURBISHED BATTERIES FOR MOST EV MODELSStellantis is making refurbished high-voltage batteries available for most battery-electric and plug-in hybrid models across its brands, remanufactured to OEM specification with the same performance characteristics and warranty terms as MOPAR original parts. The company says the approach extends product life and prevents waste, saving up to 80% of raw materials and up to 40% of CO2 emissions against new parts, building on its earlier supply of refurbished EV batteries for stationary storage including at Rome Airport.

A principios del siglo XX Henry Ford creo el manual que todos los fabricantes de automóviles seguirían después: dominar primero el mercado interior, exportar después y, finalmente, fabricar donde está el cliente. Lo repitieron los europeos y japoneses de posguerra y ahora este mismo camino lo están recorriendo los fabricantes chinos, aunque con una diferencia decisiva, han llegado a la etapa final no tanto por euforia como por asfixia. Mientras sus modelos triunfan fuera, en China las ventas se hunden. Las matriculaciones han caído más de un 20% en lo que va de año. Las causas hay que ir a buscarlas a que en enero el Gobierno redujo a la mitad la exención fiscal de los híbridos enchufables y recortó las ayudas al desguace, en marzo la guerra de Irán disparó el precio de la gasolina y hundió la demanda de los vehículos de combustión interna. Hay además un desempleo juvenil muy alto y los consumidores aplazan ciertas compras ante la incertidumbre. BYD ha visto caer su beneficio a la mitad y fabricantes menores, como XPeng, pierden dinero en un mercado muy atomizado como el chino. Hoy más que ofertas tratan de vender tecnología, pero eso no resuelve el problema de fondo, hay demasiada capacidad de producción y a una demanda interna que se encoge. La válvula de escape es la exportación. Este año China ha llegado a embarcar 785.000 vehículos en un solo mes y podría exportar este año hasta diez millones de turismos. El primer obstáculo con el que se han encontrado es logístico. Los buques portavehículos escasean, el flete medio ha pasado de 42.000 a 70.000 dólares diarios pese a que la flota de este tipo de barcos se ha incrementado mucho. Los fabricantes improvisan metiendo coches en contenedores o en unas estanterías izadas con grúa desde la bodega de cargueros convencionales. BYD, fiel a su integración vertical, ya tiene ocho barcos propios. La subida del combustible ha empujado al eléctrico justo cuando China tenía excedente. Sus exportaciones de eléctricos crecieron un 120% en el primer semestre de 2026, han duplicado las ventas en Brasil y Australia y las han multiplicado por cuatro en Colombia. Las marcas chinas controlan ya el 60% de los eléctricos en países emergentes, donde se concentrará el 60% de la demanda mundial de la próxima década, y donde el comprador primerizo puede saltarse la gasolina como en su día se saltó el teléfono fijo para pasar directamente al móvil. Pero el gran premio es Europa. Los aranceles que aprobaron en Bruselas hace dos años no han frenado nada. En junio cinco marcas chinas sumaron el 12% de las matriculaciones en la UE y el Reino Unido. La Comisión Europea prepara una ley de aceleración industrial que ataría las ayudas al cumplimiento de umbrales de componentes locales. Cuando la ley llegue, si es que llega, las fábricas chinas ya llevarán años en Europa. BYD abrirá una factoría en Hungría, SAIC en Galicia, Chery en la antigua planta de Nissan en Barcelona, Leapmotor ha cerrado un acuerdo con Stellantis y Geely con Ford para su planta de Valencia. En Europa sobra capacidad ociosa para fabricar automóviles. La esperanza europea de que su ventaja de costes se evapore al producir aquí es ilusoria. Si los vehículos chinos son más baratos se debe a su estructura de costes, a su integración vertical y a su sencillez. Un coche chino lleva entre 1.000 y 2.000 piezas, uno europeo, hasta 10.000. Dentro de China, de hecho, los fabricantes occidentales están de retirada. Estados Unidos, entretanto, se defiende con aranceles. El precedente más cercano es lo que sucedió con la incipiente industria de los paneles solares, ahora hay millones de empleos cualificados en juego.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy ponemos el foco en el plan de ajuste de Jaguar Land Rover, que estudia reducir hasta 4.000 empleos durante los próximos dos años. La compañía, integrada en el grupo indio Tata Motors, busca principalmente que parte de la plantilla se acoja a bajas voluntarias. Con esta medida pretende ahorrar alrededor de 1.700 millones de libras y rebajar en 300.000 unidades el volumen de vehículos necesario para alcanzar el equilibrio financiero. De este modo, Jaguar sigue la estrategia adoptada recientemente por Volkswagen ante el complicado escenario que atraviesa el automóvil europeo. Uno de los principales problemas para los fabricantes tradicionales procede de China, cuyos vehículos, generalmente más económicos, están ganando presencia en los mercados. Marcas como BYD, Jaecoo u Omoda cuentan además con respaldo estatal chino, una ventaja difícil de igualar. En Reino Unido, sin embargo, no parece probable una intervención económica del Gobierno. El secretario de Comercio británico, Jonathan Reynolds, ha descartado proporcionar financiación, aunque ha señalado que se intentará reducir al mínimo la destrucción de puestos de trabajo. Esta situación llega después de que las ventas de Jaguar Land Rover disminuyeran un 18% durante el ejercicio fiscal de 2026. A esta presión se sumaron los aranceles impulsados por la Administración Trump. El CEO de Jaguar Land Rover, PB Balaji, calculó inicialmente en 254 millones de libras el coste directo de estas medidas durante el primer trimestre fiscal de 2025/2026, aunque posteriormente advirtió de que el impacto acumulado podía alcanzar los 1.600 millones. Otro episodio especialmente negativo fue el ciberataque sufrido en septiembre de 2025, que paralizó temporalmente la producción. El daño directo se estimó en 196 millones de libras, pero sus efectos continuaron posteriormente: durante el segundo trimestre fiscal de 2026, los ingresos retrocedieron un 24% y las pérdidas antes de impuestos llegaron a 485 millones. Ante las nuevas exigencias del mercado, Jaguar ha decidido avanzar hacia una electrificación completa y apuesta por fabricar vehículos exclusivamente eléctricos. Sin embargo, esta transformación representa también un importante desafío económico y estratégico. La industria china mantiene una posición especialmente fuerte en este ámbito, mientras la compañía británica debe afrontar inversiones de miles de millones para desarrollar nuevas tecnologías y motorizaciones. Al mismo tiempo, Jaguar todavía necesita mantener alternativas híbridas y de combustión para responder a la demanda existente, lo que incrementa la complejidad y el coste de su transición energética.

A principios del siglo XX Henry Ford creo el manual que todos los fabricantes de automóviles seguirían después: dominar primero el mercado interior, exportar después y, finalmente, fabricar donde está el cliente. Lo repitieron los europeos y japoneses de posguerra y ahora este mismo camino lo están recorriendo los fabricantes chinos, aunque con una diferencia decisiva, han llegado a la etapa final no tanto por euforia como por asfixia. Mientras sus modelos triunfan fuera, en China las ventas se hunden. Las matriculaciones han caído más de un 20% en lo que va de año. Las causas hay que ir a buscarlas a que en enero el Gobierno redujo a la mitad la exención fiscal de los híbridos enchufables y recortó las ayudas al desguace, en marzo la guerra de Irán disparó el precio de la gasolina y hundió la demanda de los vehículos de combustión interna. Hay además un desempleo juvenil muy alto y los consumidores aplazan ciertas compras ante la incertidumbre. BYD ha visto caer su beneficio a la mitad y fabricantes menores, como XPeng, pierden dinero en un mercado muy atomizado como el chino. Hoy más que ofertas tratan de vender tecnología, pero eso no resuelve el problema de fondo, hay demasiada capacidad de producción y a una demanda interna que se encoge. La válvula de escape es la exportación. Este año China ha llegado a embarcar 785.000 vehículos en un solo mes y podría exportar este año hasta diez millones de turismos. El primer obstáculo con el que se han encontrado es logístico. Los buques portavehículos escasean, el flete medio ha pasado de 42.000 a 70.000 dólares diarios pese a que la flota de este tipo de barcos se ha incrementado mucho. Los fabricantes improvisan metiendo coches en contenedores o en unas estanterías izadas con grúa desde la bodega de cargueros convencionales. BYD, fiel a su integración vertical, ya tiene ocho barcos propios. La subida del combustible ha empujado al eléctrico justo cuando China tenía excedente. Sus exportaciones de eléctricos crecieron un 120% en el primer semestre de 2026, han duplicado las ventas en Brasil y Australia y las han multiplicado por cuatro en Colombia. Las marcas chinas controlan ya el 60% de los eléctricos en países emergentes, donde se concentrará el 60% de la demanda mundial de la próxima década, y donde el comprador primerizo puede saltarse la gasolina como en su día se saltó el teléfono fijo para pasar directamente al móvil. Pero el gran premio es Europa. Los aranceles que aprobaron en Bruselas hace dos años no han frenado nada. En junio cinco marcas chinas sumaron el 12% de las matriculaciones en la UE y el Reino Unido. La Comisión Europea prepara una ley de aceleración industrial que ataría las ayudas al cumplimiento de umbrales de componentes locales. Cuando la ley llegue, si es que llega, las fábricas chinas ya llevarán años en Europa. BYD abrirá una factoría en Hungría, SAIC en Galicia, Chery en la antigua planta de Nissan en Barcelona, Leapmotor ha cerrado un acuerdo con Stellantis y Geely con Ford para su planta de Valencia. En Europa sobra capacidad ociosa para fabricar automóviles. La esperanza europea de que su ventaja de costes se evapore al producir aquí es ilusoria. Si los vehículos chinos son más baratos se debe a su estructura de costes, a su integración vertical y a su sencillez. Un coche chino lleva entre 1.000 y 2.000 piezas, uno europeo, hasta 10.000. Dentro de China, de hecho, los fabricantes occidentales están de retirada. Estados Unidos, entretanto, se defiende con aranceles. El precedente más cercano es lo que sucedió con la incipiente industria de los paneles solares, ahora hay millones de empleos cualificados en juego.

The performance is comfortably ahead of the effective 24.6% target New AutoMotive calculates for this year, yet the government has opened a consultation on relaxing its EV rules under carmaker pressure — a move that could backfire, given Chinese manufacturers now hold 28% of Europe's PHEV segment, up 60% year on year, with PHEVs making up 60% of BYD's European registrations.STELLANTIS SETS NOVEMBER JEEP, MID-APRIL RAM PRODUCTIONA supplier memo reviewed by Automotive News schedules electrified Jeep Grand Wagoneer production for November, six months later than the planned May start, and Ram 1500 REV production for mid-April, a nine-month slip from mid-2026 for a pickup originally due in 2025 as the Ramcharger. Stellantis maintains both extended-range models are on track — Jeep this year, Ram in 2027 — with the Grand Wagoneer built in Warren, Michigan alongside its petrol version and the Ram at Sterling Heights, delays that two supplier executives attribute to ensuring smooth launches.PHEVS EMIT 4.6 TIMES OFFICIAL CO₂ VALUESPlug-in hybrids registered in 2023 emitted 4.6 times their official CO₂ values in real-world driving, up from 3.5 times for 2021 registrations, according to an International Council on Clean Transportation study of nearly 920,000 vehicles that found longer electric range has coincided with less actual electric driving. The ICCT blames the EU utility factor formula, which assumes an 80% electric-driving share against a real-world figure of around 21% in 2022, with author Jan Dornoff arguing the rarely-achieved official values give PHEVs an unjustified advantage over combustion cars in manufacturers' CO₂ compliance.FORD AIMS FOR 100,000 FATHOM SALESFord has set an internal target of 100,000 first-year sales for its Fathom electric truck, according to WSJ sources, a figure no non-Tesla EV model has ever reached in the United States. Production is expected to begin in Q1 2027 with a starting price just under $30,000, which would place the Fathom third among US single models if rivals' volumes hold steady.BEVS OUTSELL PETROL AND DIESEL IN AUSTRALIABattery-electric vehicles outsold both petrol and diesel in Australia in August, hitting 27,078 units and 24.9% of a new-car market that grew 4.9% to 108,760 vehicles, against 25,824 petrol and 23,608 diesel cars, with BEV sales up 171% year on year. BEVs, hybrids and PHEVs together took 51.8% of sales, leaving combustion-only cars in the minority for the first time, and all eight best-selling EVs were China-built, including Tesla's Shanghai-produced Model Y and Model 3, the BYD Sealion 7 at 2,213 units and sixth overall, and the Geely EX5, up more than 385%.BATTERY TRUCKS PROJECTED TO BEAT DIESEL COSTSBattery-electric trucks are projected to undercut diesel on total cost of ownership across 70 to 90% of kilometres travelled in German heavy-duty freight by 2030, but that falls to a medium-scenario lower bound of 21 to 25% of economically feasible activities once daily range limits and charging availability are factored in. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research study in Nature, combining cost forecasts with real-world use profiles from four million European trucks, finds small-battery electric trucks competitive on 91% of freight activity by 2030 versus 69% for large-battery variants, with drivetrain efficiency, energy costs, battery size and usage intensity driving the outcome.MAN PARTNERS PLAN AROUND €400M FOR EUROPEAN SERVICE SITESMAN dealers, service partners and importers plan to invest around €400m (about $464m) in European service locations, on top of MAN's own €300m (about $348m) network investment by 2030, with board member Friedrich Baumann calling the combined scale unprecedented in company history despite ongoing cost cuts and job reductions. Roughly a third of the partners' spending goes to electromobility and digitalisation, including high-voltage staff training, battery repair centres and public charging at MAN branches, while a separate E.On partnership announced in 2024 targets up to 400 charging points at up to 170 European locations, up to 125 of them in Germany.WAYVE AND UBER OFFER LONDON AUTONOMOUS RIDESWayve and Uber have launched supervised autonomous rides through the Uber app across London's entire urban area excluding airports, using battery-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles running Wayve's AI Driver with cameras and environmental sensors, each carrying a TfL-licensed safety driver who can intervene. UberX, Uber Electric and Uber Comfort passengers may be offered a Wayve ride at no extra cost before their trip, with London the first of twelve planned markets and a Tokyo service using the Nissan Leaf and Nvidia Drive Hyperion due later this year, though no date has been given for removing the safety driver.BARCELONA OFFERS FOUR MILLION EUROS ELECTRIC BIKE SUBSIDIESBarcelona is launching four million euros of electric bike subsidies running from 2027 to 2030, with the first call scheduled for publication in 2027, offering up to 400 euros (about $465) for pedal-assisted city bikes and up to 800 euros (about $929) for freight bikes, capped at 40% of the pre-VAT cost. Registered city residents and companies with premises in Barcelona will be eligible, with the scheme intended to extend cycling distances and open up the city's sloped areas, though the subsidy rules still require approval.XIAOMI SIGNS EIGHT GERMAN DEALER ARRANGEMENTSXiaomi has signed agreements or letters of intent with eight German dealership groups, including Emil Frey, Penske Automotive and the Lueg Group, ahead of a planned 2027 European launch that will add another Chinese entrant to an already competitive German market. The company, which has sold roughly 700,000 SU7 sedans and YU7 SUVs in China since March 2024 according to President William Lu, is raising its profile at Berlin's IFA show from Sept. 4 to 8 with around 380 products, promoting a "Human x Car x Home" ecosystem linking more than 1,000 devices to the car, though it has not said which models Europe will get.

Technically it's excellent, but does it have the romance to lure buyers from marques like Porsche and Ferrari?正文：If there was any doubt that Chinese manufacturers were serious about their world domination of the car market, the Denza Z will mark a new chapter from a UK perspective. When thinking of Chinese cars in the UK, the immediate image is of keenly priced family cars that challenge established brands in terms of value for money. But brands from China are now increasingly looking to disrupt sectors that are normally the preserve of high-end European manufacturers. One such car is the Denza Z, an ambitious four-seat coupé or cabriolet from BYD's premium brand, with power figures to rival not only Porsche and Ferrari but even Bugatti's hypercars.知识点：keenly adv. /ˈkiːnli/• 英文释义：in a way that shows a strong competitive edge or intensity• 中文释义：激烈地，极具竞争力地（指价格上具有强烈吸引力）• 文中意：定价极具竞争力地（指中国车以性价比作为核心竞争优势）• 例句一：The new smartphone is keenly priced to compete with established brands. 这款新智能手机定价极具竞争力，以与传统品牌抗衡。• 例句二：The airline offers keenly priced tickets to attract budget travelers. 这家航空公司提供价格极具竞争力的机票以吸引穷游旅客。【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Send us Fan MailThe largest electric vehicle manufacturer in the world is not Tesla, it is dwarfed by BYD, a Chinese company.Everyone seems to be very familiar with Tesla but they seem to know little about BYD. In this podcast I describe some of the remarkable achievements of BYD which involves far more than cars.  As a leading manufacturer of batteries they supply most of the other manufacturers of electric vehicles and in addition  manufacture computer chips for Apple, Samsung and other electronic manufacturers. With 900,000 employees they are China's largest private corporation.For 17 years, until 2025, a large percentage of   shares were owned by Berkshire Hathaway, the American conglomerate, whose profit on their original investment of $230,000,000 is reported to have had a gain of 3,890% on that original investment. While the U.S. government is attempting to protect its domestic car manufacturers by blocking BYD cars from the American market. This seems futile since BYD already has an operation in the US and also in Canada. It shall be interesting to see how long the US 100% tariff stays in place once BYD ships its first 49,000 cars to Canada within the next year.Ian Duncan MacDonald Author and Commercial Risk Consultant,President of  Informus Inc                              2 Vista Humber Drive                               Toronto, Ontario                                Canada, M9P 3R7                                 Toronto Telephone - 416-245-4994                                   imacd@informus.ca

Rear Motor versions offer 200kW and up to 630km WLTP range while Dual Motor models produce 400kW and up to 600km, both using a 100kWh battery charging at up to 200kW DC for a roughly 30-minute 10-80% top-up, priced from €57,900 in Germany and £54,750 in the UK with first deliveries planned for Q4 2026 and Canada to follow Europe.SCOUT REVEALS TWO TRAVELER CONCEPTSScout Motors has revealed the Mountainside and Trail-ready concepts based on its Traveler electric SUV, debuting at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience, with the rugged Trail-ready wearing Galvanized Steel paint, a Canvas roof, full-metal bumpers, elevated roof rack with trail lights, front winch, 18-inch beadlock wheels, 35-inch off-road tyres and a brick-red leather Denim District interior, while the refined Mountainside uses Morning Dusk charcoal-brown paint with gold flakes, 22-inch dish wheels, light-brown leather, grey fabric and recycled walnut trim. Scout has not confirmed whether either will be sold as a package or which features are optional; Traveler production starts next year with deliveries from 2028, and the range-extended Harvester, using a four-cylinder generator and 63kWh LFP pack for a claimed 500 miles, launches before the battery-electric version.FRANCE BEV SHARE RISES TO 38% IN AUGUSTBattery-electric vehicles took 38% of France's new-car market in August 2026, up from 35% in July, with registrations climbing 113% year on year to 36,159 units according to the CCFA. Chinese brands took 7,070 registrations or 7.5% of the market, led by BYD on 2,195, MG on 2,003 and Jaecoo on 1,987, but were outsold by Renault alone on 13,128, ahead of Peugeot on 11,716 and Tesla on 5,038, of which 4,622 were the Model Y, France's best-selling BEV.MOST USED EVS RETAIN ABOUT 90% CAPACITY AT 150,000KMAn Aviloo study of more than 500,000 battery-health tests across 20 popular models in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia between 2022 and 2026 found most used EVs retained about 90% of usable battery capacity at 150,000km, with median state-of-health scores ranging from 87% to 94%, led at that mileage by the Mercedes-Benz EQA at 93.97% and Hyundai Ioniq 5 at 93.79%, and trailed by the Nissan Leaf at 86.67%, Mini Cooper SE at 87.11% and Renault Zoe at 87.33%. Chinese models were excluded for lack of data, air-cooled and smaller batteries such as the Zoe and Leaf degraded faster, the Leaf ZE1 showed a 13.5-percentage-point spread between individual cars, and with warranties typically covering eight years or 160,000km and requiring replacement below 70%, the findings strengthen calls for mandatory battery-health certification since identical age and mileage can mask very different treatment.KIA OPENS CANADIAN ORDERS FOR 2027 EV4 GTKia has opened factory orders for the 2027 EV4 GT at certified Canadian dealerships from CA$58,595, its third "affordable" EV to get GT treatment, replacing the standard car's front-wheel drive with a 288-horsepower dual-motor all-wheel-drive system paired to an 81.4kWh battery for an estimated 431km of range. The GT adds GT-exclusive neon-accented brake calipers, 20-inch alloys, suede and synthetic-leather seats, a GT instrument cluster and a steering-wheel GT boost button, sitting above the standard EV4 that launched in Canada in late 2025 from CA$38,995 as what Kia called the country's most affordable EV.HONDA SEEKS 1.5 TRILLION YEN IN SAVINGSHonda is seeking 1.5 trillion yen ($9.4 billion) in savings by 2030 to improve its car business, expecting cumulative EV-related losses to exceed $12 billion and shifting towards hybrids while under pressure from Chinese manufacturers including BYD, which are taking share in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Europe on software, battery technology and the industry's lowest prices. Honda briefed major suppliers on the plan in spring and, according to internal documents, is targeting a 30% cost reduction in pressed and forged components, electrical parts and software-defined-vehicle parts, with individual targets issued to suppliers afterwards.MNDOT OFFERS $41.2 MILLION FOR UP TO 40 SITESMnDOT is offering $41.2 million in its third and largest NEVI round for fast-charging sites across Greater Minnesota, expecting to award up to 40 locations across 74 eligible areas with no more than one station funded in each, now able to go beyond I-35, I-90 and I-94 after the federal government certified those routes as fully built-out corridors. Funded sites must provide at least four NACS and four CCS1 connectors delivering a minimum 150kW per port with all ports in simultaneous use, be open during the host business's hours, and include an ADA-compliant charging space, adequate lighting, security cameras or staff, and snow removal within two hours of storms exceeding an inch — even though most earlier interstate sites have yet to open.TESLA US SALES DROP 26% IN AUGUSTMotor Intelligence estimated Tesla sold 40,816 vehicles in the United States in August 2026, down 26% from 55,500 a year earlier and its largest year-over-year monthly decline of 2026, with demand appearing to stabilise around 40,000 units a month, below the 47,000 monthly average of the first half of 2025 and below tax-credit-inflated third-quarter volumes. Ending Model S and Model X production, extending Model Y and Model 3 offers, starting Model Y L deliveries, expanding a certified pre-owned programme from $20,600 and fully claiming California's MyFirstEV allocation within days did not materially change the trajectory.VOLVO GLOBAL SALES FALL 7.4% FROM JUNE THROUGH AUGUSTVolvo Cars sold 148,239 vehicles globally from June through August, down 7.4% year over year despite a 13% rise in electrified sales — fully electric up 27%, plug-in hybrids down 1% — which made up 53.5% of global volume, with the decline blamed on China's continuing downturn and weaker US demand for electrified models. The company expects a significantly stronger second half as EX60 deliveries ramp up from Gothenburg production that began in spring at around $60,000 in the US, alongside European growth and continued US recovery, while shifting more output stateside to cut tariff exposure with XC60 production starting in South Carolina later this year and global Polestar 3 production consolidated there.XPENG TAKES UK COMMERCIAL CONTROLXpeng is establishing its own UK national sales company, taking ownership of its UK operations and responsibility for strategic and commercial development while retaining International Motors — the Subaru and Isuzu importer that originally handled its UK shipping and retail — as a provider of operational infrastructure and local distribution expertise. Having entered the UK last year with the G6, delivering 1,800 units through 48 dealers in England, Wales and Scotland, Xpeng plans to add the X9 MPV as an ID Buzz rival and the L03 coupé-crossover, sold as Mona in China, though no UK launch date or pricing has been announced and an entry price below £40,000 would pitch it against the Skoda Enyaq and Ford Explorer.35% OF SCREEN-EQUIPPED OWNERS NEVER USE THEMJD Power's 2026 U.S. Tech Experience Index study, surveying 68,084 owners of vehicles with passenger screens, found 35% had never used the screen and only 6% used it every drive, even as the feature spreads through new vehicles. Smart ignition, climate control and driver-preference settings scored highest for satisfaction with the fewest problems while added complexity in driver-assistance features lowered scores, suggesting owners prefer predictable technology and that a screen — a cheap, simple way to make a plain dashboard look advanced, useful for passenger HVAC control or films on long trips — improves appearance rather than the ownership experience.

Built on the MLA-Flex architecture designed from the outset for battery power, it weighs around 2885kg but sits 88mm lower in centre of gravity than the V8, retains 900mm wading depth (960mm practical), and tows 2500kg versus 3500kg for the combustion model, with JLR's analysis of 360 million customer journeys concluding it suits 97% of them.NORWAY ELECTRIC CARS REACH NEW RECORDBattery-electric cars took a record 98.7% of Norway's 13,451 new passenger-car registrations in August, up from 96.9% a year earlier and 97.6% in July, according to the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council. Volkswagen led brands and the ID.4 led models ahead of the Toyota bZ4X and BMW iX3, while Xpeng and BYD together took 11.4% of the market against 4.9% in August 2025.VOLVO EX30 GAINS V2L IN SOFTWARE UPDATEVolvo has added vehicle-to-load charging to the EX30 via an over-the-air update, delivering up to 3kW at 16 amps through a separate adapter connected to the charge port, with supply cutting off automatically below 20% battery. The feature will not be offered in the US, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan or Japan, and arrives alongside a customisable contextual bar, redesigned settings menu and Plug & Charge in some European markets for model-year 2026 cars onwards.RENAULT SCENIC LONG RANGE REACHES 399 MILESThe Renault Scenic Long Range now covers up to 399 miles, a 20-mile gain from an extra 2kWh of capacity, and though peak charging stays at 150kW it holds that rate longer, cutting 10% to 80% charging to 28 minutes from 38. A revised Comfort Range version, possibly not returning to the UK, switches to LFP chemistry with 7kWh more capacity, 290 miles of range and 165kW charging, both paired with the existing 215bhp rear motor.GENESIS PLANS FOUR MORE EUROPEAN MARKETSGenesis will start selling in Austria, Denmark, Poland and Portugal next year despite a 19% fall in European sales, relying on expansion and electrification to fix weak regional performance. Its range is now almost entirely electric, with battery-electric vehicles making up 95% of European sales through July led by the GV60 and GV70, far above the 27% BEV share of the wider European premium market.FORD SHOWS FATHOM PICKUP IN DESERT TESTINGFord chief executive Jim Farley posted footage on September 1, 2026 of the Fathom electric midsize pickup undergoing hot-weather desert testing, revealing the name via a QR code on the camouflage that links to a Ford landing page. Production begins at Louisville Assembly in Q1 2027 ahead of an early 2027 sale date, with Ford claiming more passenger volume than a Toyota RAV4 but withholding full specifications.CHINA ISSUES OVERSEAS GUIDELINES FOR CHINESE AUTOMAKERSChinese regulators issued guidelines on September 1 for automakers' overseas operations, telling them to price with reference to costs and market conditions rather than to gain unfair competitive advantage, avoid frequent or substantial price changes, and refrain from misleading advertising. The rules also demand stronger anti-monopoly, anti-corruption, antitrust and social-responsibility compliance, protection of Chinese brand reputation abroad, adherence to local labour laws and better management of political, economic and safety risks in host countries.CANADA RELEASES 24,500 CHINA-MADE ELECTRIFIED-VEHICLE PERMITSCanada released 24,500 further permits for China-made electrified vehicles on September 1, completing the 49,000 first-year quota introduced in January under a trade deal with Beijing that replaced a 100% tariff, though imports still face the standard 6.1% most-favoured-nation rate. Global Affairs Canada issued permits for 15,344 EVs and 259 hybrids in the first six months, leaving importers able to bring in 33,397 vehicles including 8,897 carried-over permits, as BYD, Chery and Geely pursue certification, hiring and dealers ahead of expected sales by early next year.BMW IX3 CROSSES PORTUGAL ON ONE CHARGEA 2026 BMW iX3 50 xDrive drove 739km (459 miles) the length of Portugal on National Road 2 without recharging, finishing with 20% battery left after three days and 14 hours at the wheel with BMW Portugal ambassador Ana Varela driving. The route mixed mountains, winding roads, valleys, plains and towns rather than maximising range, and falls short of a December 2025 run of 1,007.7km from BMW's Debrecen plant to Munich that ended on 2%.US ADDS RECORD STORAGE CAPACITY IN SECOND QUARTERThe US installed a record 20.2 gigawatt-hours of energy storage in the three months to June, with a Solar Energy Industries Association and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence outlook forecasting 71 gigawatt-hours added across 2026. More than 74% of second-quarter capacity was built in states Donald Trump won in 2024, driven largely by Arizona, Texas and Utah, with growth partly tied to data centres using batteries to handle rapid demand swings from artificial intelligence.SOLAR PANELS COOL HYPOTHETICAL TOMATO FARMA simulation found tomato leaves under solar panels ran 1.84°C cooler through the day and up to 7.56°C cooler at peak afternoon heat than in open field, receiving 47% less sunlight but losing only 31% of carbon uptake. Panels above crops were 5.6°C cooler than those over bare soil, recovering about 15% of the efficiency lost to heat, while perceived temperatures for workers fell 4.46°C, and the model could be applied to other climate and crop combinations.

Vijftien jaar stond hij aan het roer van Apple, maar vandaag is toch echt zijn laatste werkdag. Morgen draagt ceo Tim Cook het stokje over aan zijn opvolger, John Ternus. Die wacht dan weer een grote klus: Apple blijft achterlopen in AI. Aan hem de taak daar wat aan te doen. Deze aflevering kijken we wat John Ternus te wachten staat. Maar we blikken ook terug op het nalatenschap van Tim Cook, de eerste ceo ná oprichter Steve Jobs. En iemand die belachelijk goed zorgde voor aandeelhouders: de keizer van kapitaalallocatie. Verder hebben we het over Fed-baas Kevin Warsh. Hij werd aangesteld door president Trump om de rente te verlagen. Maar het ziet ernaar uit dat hij het tegenovergestelde van plan is. Als de inflatie niet onder controle komt, moet hij ingrijpen, waarschuwt hij. Wat dat voor jou betekent, gaan we bespreken. Verder in deze aflevering: Een Zuid-Koreaans aandeel dat is verdubbeld dit jaar, en het is géén techbedrijf! De eerste op aarde die levenslang is verbannen van voorspelmarkt Kalshi: ex-Congreslid George Santos, die gokte op zijn eigen aanwezigheid bij de State of the Union van Trump Waarom BYD lager staat ondanks goeie cijfers Een tegenvaller bij InPost Ruzie tussen een Chinees chipbedrijf en het Pentagon Te gast: Jean-Paul van Oudheusden van eToro en Markets Are Everywhere BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nếu quay ngược thời gian về thập niên 1990, những chiếc đài Walkman hay tivi màu Panasonic chính là biểu tượng tuyệt đối cho đỉnh cao công nghệ Nhật Bản. Khái niệm "Made in Japan" từng đại diện cho chứng nhận chất lượng hàng đầu toàn cầu. Thế nhưng ngày nay, trên tay người tiêu dùng là smartphone Apple, Samsung; ngoài đường phố là những dòng xe điện Tesla, BYD. Phải chăng "đế chế" công nghệ Nhật Bản đã thực sự sụp đổ? Hay đằng sau sự rút lui khỏi mặt tiền tiêu dùng là một chiến lược chuyển mình âm thầm nhưng đầy quyền lực: nắm giữ các chốt chặn cốt lõi của chuỗi cung ứng toàn cầu?

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! ¿Cómo consiguió una pequeña startup californiana poner contra las cuerdas a una industria con más de cien años de historia? En este episodio de La Ola Eléctrica recorremos la historia completa de Tesla, desde su fundación en 2003 y la llegada de Elon Musk hasta convertirse en uno de los fabricantes más influyentes del planeta. Hablamos del Tesla Roadster, los momentos en los que la compañía estuvo al borde de desaparecer, el nacimiento del Model S, el infierno de producción del Model 3, la expansión de las Gigafactorías, el éxito mundial del Model Y y la importancia de la red Supercharger. Pero la historia de Tesla no puede entenderse sin mirar también a los otros proyectos de Elon Musk. Analizamos la relación entre la filosofía de Tesla y SpaceX, el nacimiento de The Boring Company y cómo esa obsesión por cuestionar industrias tradicionales se repite una y otra vez. También llegamos hasta la Tesla de 2026, en plena batalla contra BYD y los fabricantes chinos, con una estrategia que empieza a mirar mucho más allá del automóvil: Robotaxi, Cybercab, inteligencia artificial, Optimus y almacenamiento energético. Una historia llena de éxitos, fracasos, promesas incumplidas, riesgos enormes y decisiones que terminaron obligando a Volkswagen, Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford y prácticamente toda la industria a acelerar su transición hacia el coche eléctrico. ¿Tesla ganó la batalla o simplemente consiguió que todos los demás empezaran a correr?

CEO José Muñoz said Europe is one of the most competitive regions on the planet and that every EV credit protects the ICE and hybrid business, while the claimed 30% battery-cost reduction is a planned saving on 2027 models using mid-nickel NCM cells rather than an achieved one.HYUNDAI CLAIMS MORE THAN 600 MILES FOR SANTA FE EREVHyundai's first range-extender EV, the Santa Fe EREV, is due in North America in the first half of 2027 with a claimed 600-plus miles of total range from a battery less than half the size of a comparable EV's, using electric motors for drive and an engine solely as a generator. Production begins in Alabama in early 2027, with Hyundai expecting EREVs to matter more in North America than in Europe, and an Ioniq V EREV planned for China plus a Genesis EREV in early 2027.HYUNDAI PLANS INTERMEDIATE N PERFORMANCE TIERHyundai is creating an unnamed performance tier between N Line trims and full N models, using N powertrains but at lower cost and better suited to daily driving. It sees the high-volume middle ground as a sales opportunity that could also free the flagship N cars, such as the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, to become more track-focused, though no technical details have been disclosed.HYUNDAI SELECTS KALUZA FOR SMART CHARGINGHyundai has named London-based Kaluza its global partner for EV smart charging and vehicle-to-grid services, starting with Hyundai and Kia in the UK and expanding to Australia, with OVO becoming the first UK retailer to offer smart charging through the Kia App. The deal sits within Hyundai Motor Group's AllDayEnergy programme launched in July, expanding existing pilots in Jeju, the US and the Netherlands, with V2G services planned for next year.OMODA 4 SET FOR BARCELONA ESPORTS DEBUTChery brand Omoda will launch its 4.4-metre Omoda 4 compact crossover in Europe at the Valorant Champions Tour EMEA finals in Barcelona from 28 to 30 August, targeting younger technology-oriented buyers, before an Italian debut at the Turin show on 11 September. Europe accounts for more than 40 percent of Omoda and Jaecoo's global sales, and Chery, Europe's second bestselling Chinese automaker in July behind BYD, opened its first European hub and R&D centre in Barcelona in April.VOLVO ADDS SHARED ANIMAL HAZARD ALERTSA Volvo software update lets EX60, EX90 and ES90 cars use sensors and cameras to detect large animals such as deer and sheep, upload the location to the cloud and warn approaching vehicles, including those on the European Data for Road Safety programme, with added alerts for pedestrians, cyclists, roadworks and accidents ahead. Safety chief Åsa Haglund said the newer models' computing power makes this possible but that warnings must be trustworthy, since false positives deteriorate trust in driver-assistance systems.VOLTPOST ADDS CEILING AND SURFACE EV CHARGERSVoltpost has extended its Voltpost Air range beyond lamppost retrofits with ceiling-mounted chargers that lower retractable cables in parking garages and surface-mounted units for walls, pedestals and kerbside sites without poles. It claims installations take hours rather than days and can cut costs by up to 70%, though it has told Massachusetts regulators each charger needs 40A and dual-port units 80A, with some sites requiring power upgrades or a new meter.PLUG-IN SOLAR PANELS LEGALISED ACROSS GREAT BRITAINPlug-in solar panels became legal to buy and use across Great Britain on 27 August, with kits generating up to 800W, meeting up to 20% of a home's electricity use and saving up to £110 a year, after independent safety testing found compliant panels safe under a specification stricter than Germany's. Complete kits are expected to cost around £400–£600 initially and will be stocked by Amazon, Argos, Currys, B&Q, Screwfix and Wickes, with government assuming 15% of households pay for mounting help and 20% need minor electrical work.NIO CERTIFIED USED EVS START AT 26,900 EUROSNio's cheapest certified used EV in Europe costs 26,900 euros without a battery, which buyers instead subscribe to under Battery as a Service at 169 euros a month for 75kWh or 289 euros for 100kWh in Germany and the Netherlands, adding close to 7,000 euros over the remaining warranty for the larger pack. All cars are 2023 or 2024 builds with roughly two years of warranty left, drawn from Nio's own fleet and given full technical, cosmetic and structural inspections, original-parts repairs and no scheduled servicing for six months or 10,000 kilometres.APTERA SECURES UP TO $44 MILLION INVESTMENTAptera Motors has secured a strategic investment of up to $44 million from Shanghai Launch Automotive Technology, or Launch Design, covering fixtures, tooling, testing and pilot production for its first 40 solar electric vehicles at its planned Carlsbad, California site. The company is targeting the start of production in Q4 2026, with first vehicle bodies and chassis expected in October 2026.VESSEV RAISES $A27 MILLION FOR HYDROFOIL PRODUCTIONAuckland-based Vessev has raised $US19 million in Series A and follow-on funding led by Blackbird Ventures to scale production of its electric hydrofoiling vessels, grow its market team and develop onboard software and telemetry. The 2017-founded firm, which launched the 40-nautical-mile VS-9 in 2024 and has since added the VS-12, has delivery agreements in Sydney, Perth and Tasmania and named FlyTahoe as its first US customer, though its first Perth VS-9s only arrive in early 2027 pending classification and regulatory approval.

In markets including France, the 70 kW/40 kWh version is replaced by an entry model pairing an 80 kW "Gen 2 Evo" motor from the Twingo E-Tech with a 36.5 kWh cell-to-pack LFP battery for up to 305 km (190 miles), 6.6 kW AC and 80 kW DC charging, with Google's Gemini assistant arriving over the air and the range shown at the Paris Motor Show from 12 to 18 October 2026.CHINESE AUTOMAKERS PLAN 1.5 MILLION EUROPEAN OUTPUT BY 2035Mobility Global forecasts Chinese brands will build about 90,000 vehicles in Europe this year, rising to 1 million by 2030 and 1.5 million by 2035, with roughly half of the 2030 output coming from Spain as BYD starts Hungarian production this autumn, Chery assembles Jaecoo and Omoda in Barcelona, Leapmotor uses Stellantis' Zaragoza plant, MG plans a Galicia plant for 2028 and Geely forms a Ford joint venture in Valencia (66% Ford, 34% Geely) operating from the first half of 2027. The push comes ahead of the EU's proposed Industrial Accelerator Act, which would attach "Made in EU" tests to public procurement, state support and CO₂ super-credits rather than impose a general local-content rule, while economists warn Europe risks becoming a final-assembly site without winning higher-value manufacturing and supply-chain jobs.FIAT 500E LEADS OWNERSHIP COST STUDYSelf, Inc. compared annual running costs for 50 new cars, excluding purchase price, finance and depreciation and assuming 15,000 miles a year, finding an average of $6,913 and placing the Fiat 500e first at $3,557, ahead of the Honda Civic Hybrid at $4,833. Hybrids averaged $5,734 a year against $6,189 for battery-electric and $7,025 for combustion cars, with the Dodge Charger Daytona the second-cheapest EV at $5,298 and the Lucid Air the priciest at $10,049, though the 500e's win has not translated into demand as Stellantis reported just 150 US sales in the first half of 2026, down 81% year on year.ICAUR V25 CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIA IN EARLY 2027Chery has confirmed the iCaur V25 will launch in Australia in early 2027 alongside the brand's arrival, with the larger V27 also expected in the initial line-up, and the 4636mm-long five-seater offering a 2820mm wheelbase, 197mm of ground clearance, a 200kg roof-load rating, fixed aluminium side steps, removable D-pillar panels and a side-hinged rear door with a 22.7-litre external storage box. It uses a range-extender drivetrain with a Chery 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 33.67kWh LFP battery giving up to 150km (93.2 miles) of electric range on WLTC, and rides on a unibody with MacPherson struts and rear five-link suspension rather than a ladder frame.KEMPOWER LINKS PLUG COUNT TO CHARGER USEKempower's analysis of North American public charging sites on its ChargEye software found plug count correlated with utilisation at 0.63 versus just 0.228 for total installed power, that distributed-charging sites averaged 83% higher utilisation than fixed-power dispensers, and that about 100 kW of available power per plug is the sweet spot when all connectors are in use. The paper does not disclose sample size, observation period, how utilisation was calculated or whether it controlled for location, traffic, age, pricing or reliability, it shows correlation rather than causation, it promotes an architecture Kempower already sells as its MORE Plugs system, and its 100 kW benchmark falls short of the NEVI rule requiring each port on an Alternative Fuel Corridor to deliver up to 150 kW simultaneously.US EV RENTERS FACE CHARGING COST PENALTYUS EV drivers in rented or multifamily homes can pay up to six times more to charge than those on standard residential electricity, a "renter's penalty" worsened because utility assistance programmes typically tie benefits to a household meter. A playbook from GRID Alternatives and the Smart Electric Power Alliance proposes driver-focused measures such as account-linked discounts or prepaid charging cards for income-qualified owners, combined with location-focused steps like reduced-price charging at utility-owned public stations and multifamily sites in priority communities.BYD ADDS CANADA 'COMING SOON' PAGEBYD has put a "Coming Soon" message on its Canadian website and listed eleven management vacancies, eight of them posted by BYD North America and based in Toronto or the wider Greater Toronto Area, covering head of sales, marketing, network development, infrastructure business development, operations planning, legal counsel and HR, with one sales role tasked with leading market entry, nationwide sales and a dealer network for passenger vehicles. No models, prices, dealers, ordering function or launch date have been published, and while Canada reopened to Chinese-made EVs on 1 March 2026 by replacing the 100% surtax with a 49,000-vehicle annual quota at a 6.1% tariff, shipment-specific permits and Transport Canada compliance still apply.GERMAN SUPPLIERS LOOK BEYOND CARS AS ELECTRIC VEHICLES RESHAPE INDUSTRYElectrification is redrawing the network of parts, skills and factories behind the car, illustrated by Nuremberg-area family firm Sembach, whose output of small automotive parts has fallen from about 600 million to 400 million a year and which set a 2023 target of cutting automotive revenue from 80 to 40 per cent by 2033. The VDA says around 100,000 German automotive jobs have gone since 2019 and another 125,000 could follow by 2035, with many replacement roles created abroad, while Bosch, on €91 billion of revenue last year, is pivoting to sensors, robotics, software-defined mobility and electrification even as it plans to cut more than 20,000 German automotive jobs by 2030.SOLENT ELECTRIC BOAT CHARGING NETWORK EXPANDSThe Electric Seaway, a £3.2m project backed by the Department for Transport's UK SHORE programme, has since 2023 built a chain of CCS DC fast-charging points along the south coast using 400V-class technology similar to car rapid chargers, though Aqua superPower COO Karen Gill says uptake has come mainly from commercial workboats rather than leisure yachts. Range remains the constraint for weekenders, with Grand Soleil's 33ft Blue claiming 30 nautical miles at 5 knots from its 6kW ePropulsion pod and 8kWh battery, or 60 with a second battery and a diesel option still offered, while Yamaha's 2024 acquisition of Torqeedo signals that the largest outboard manufacturer is taking electric marine propulsion seriously.

The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINABeijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENTPolestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed mitigation offers including audits, cybersecurity reviews and removal of China links from data management, despite officials indicating in January and April that approval was likely; dealers have called the outcome devastating, with a New Jersey group suing for $25 million over an allegedly concealed US withdrawal.DUTCH PLUG-IN MARKET FAVOURS RICH HOUSEHOLDSStatistics agency CBS found that the Netherlands' shift to electric cars has mainly benefited wealthy households, with the top-earning 10% buying almost 75,000 of the roughly 259,000 electric and plug-in hybrid cars traded in 2025 and the top 20% accounting for nearly half. The lowest-earning 10% bought about 6,000, or 2%, and two-thirds of cars bought by the poorest fifth were over a decade old, prompting a €52 million, three-year subsidy scheme from the final quarter of 2026 for lower- and middle-income buyers of second-hand EVs who scrap older petrol or diesel vehicles.MERCEDES CLA ELECTRIC COVERS 385 MILES AT 70 MPHThe dual-motor 2027 Mercedes-Benz CLA 350 4MATIC Electric covered 385 miles in a constant-speed 70 mph range test on 19-inch wheels, exceeding its 312-mile EPA Combined rating by 73 miles, or 23%, with 2 miles remaining at 0% charge. Consumption of 225 Wh per mile implied 86.6 kWh used against an 85-kWh net battery, with the result credited to the 800-volt Mercedes Modular Architecture and a two-speed rear-motor transmission of the type that has also helped Porsche and Audi models beat their ratings.OPEL SETS 2028 DATE FOR ELECTRIC CORSAOpel CEO Florian Huettl has pushed the all-electric Corsa successor from 2027 to 2028, moving the brand's best-seller onto Stellantis' STLA Small platform as a battery-electric-only model with bigger batteries, more range and prices from €25,000, against the current e-CMP Corsa Electric's 46-49 kWh battery, 429 km claim and €30,440 starting price. Huettl cited improving range, charging and fuel costs rather than any fixed date to end combustion engines, and Opel will still deliver the e-CMP-based Corsa GSE, capable of 0-100 kph in 5.5 seconds, to dealers this year.ROME BACKS ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN BUSESRome will spend €117 million from Italy's infrastructure ministry on new buses through operator ATAC, split between €83.6 million for hydrogen models and €27.1 million for battery-electric ones plus depot upgrades, though neither quantities nor manufacturers have been named. A further €6 million in European funding will build a green hydrogen hub using local electrolysis at ATAC's Acilia site, complementing a charge introduced in July 2026 for EVs entering a restricted central zone that takes about 50,000 cars a day against a designed capacity of 20,000.SUZUKI PLANS VISION E-SKY EUROPE EXPORTSuzuki intends to export its Vision e-Sky electric microcar from Japan, with Europe possible in 2027 and the UK and Italy under review at an expected UK price below £20,000, ahead of a Japanese world premiere in autumn and production at a plant southwest of Tokyo. Based on Japan's kei-car class and targeting 310 km of range with likely LFP cells from BYD's corporate network, it would be Suzuki's first battery-electric kei car and reportedly the first exported almost unchanged, offering growth potential after European sales fell 15% to 187,000 in the year to March.MEXICO ELECTRIFIED SALES RISE AS PRODUCTION FALLSMexico sold 95,037 electrified vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 44% year on year for a 12.6% market share, led by Toyota in conventional hybrids and boosted by expanding Chinese brands, while charging points reached 60,934 and 170 electrified models are now offered. Production moved the other way, falling to 47,411 units from 110,002 a year earlier as weaker US demand cut Equinox output by 81.6% and Blazer output by 80%, prompting the Electro Mobility Association to call for policies supporting both electrification and domestic manufacturing.ELECTRIC MOTORHOME USES EVOLVE PLATFORMCityFreighter, Vöhringer and Motive Development have unveiled an electric motorhome demonstrator for Europe's 4.25-tonne Class B category, built on CityFreighter's Evolve skateboard with a Vöhringer AIRPLY lightweight interior and coming in under 3.5 tonnes complete with kitchen, bathroom and heat pump, leaving about 750 kg of payload. Its 128-kWh battery gives roughly 400 km of range, supports vehicle-to-load and charges from 10-80% in about 20 minutes at up to 200 kW, while independent battery replacement and upgrades are pitched as protecting residual value in vehicles that often stay in service for decades.

Chinese automakers just captured 77.4% of China's passenger-vehicle market—and exports have topped one million vehicles for two consecutive months.In Episode #258 of China EVs & More, Tu and Lei unpack a dramatic shift in the world's largest auto market: Chinese brands dominating at home, NEVs approaching 70% of domestic passenger-vehicle sales, and China's automakers increasingly turning to exports as domestic demand weakens.We discuss:

Mairon Sandoval es un emprendedor que está transformando la forma en la que miles de profesionales independientes acceden a oportunidades financieras.A los 17 años fundó CWG, una Agro-Tech Company que vendió en 2020. Ese primer éxito le dio la experiencia y la confianza para apostar por algo mucho más grande.Más adelante fundó OneCarNow, hoy OCN, una fintech mexicana que busca romper las barreras tradicionales para acceder a un auto. Su modelo elimina requisitos como el enganche, el aval y el buró de crédito, y permite financiar vehículos a trabajadores independientes de plataformas como Uber, DiDi e inDrive, evaluando su elegibilidad a partir de su desempeño real dentro de estas aplicaciones.Bajo su liderazgo, OCN ha levantado más de 150 millones de dólares en capital, incluyendo una Serie A de 86 millones de dólares en 2024, y ha construido alianzas estratégicas con empresas como Cabify, DiDi, Mercado Libre, BYD y GAC, impulsando también la transición hacia la electromovilidad.Hoy, Mairon busca triplicar la flota de OCN en México, pasando de 5,000 a 15,000 vehículos, y llevar a la compañía más allá del financiamiento de autos para convertirla en un socio financiero integral para los trabajadores independientes de plataformas.Mairon es la prueba de que la credibilidad no se mide en años, sino en resultados.

Used EV sales rose to 36,810 units, up 7.9% month over month and 10.1% year over year, while new EV inventory fell to 80 days, average new EV transaction prices reached $56,126 and used EV listings averaged $37,832.BMW CLAIMS ELECTRIC RANGE RECORDA BMW engineer drove a Neue Klasse iX3 1,030.2 km (640 miles) from Shenyang to Beijing on a single charge with five percent battery left, which BMW calls a record for its battery-electric models while stressing the extreme-range test does not reflect everyday driving. The car uses BMW's sixth-generation 800V battery system with high-nickel large cylindrical cells in a module-free cell-to-pack design, and reservations open at the Chengdu Auto Show on Aug. 21 as BMW's Chinese sales fall 20.4% year over year to 262,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026.CANADIAN ZEV SALES REBOUND IN JUNECanadian zero-emission vehicle sales reached 21,876 in June 2026, up 56.1 per cent year over year and taking 11.5 per cent of the market, the best month since December 2024 and part of a 7.3 per cent rise in overall sales that ended eight months of decline. The rebound followed the federal government's resumption of rebates in February 2026, offering up to $5,000 off a battery-electric vehicle and $2,500 off a plug-in hybrid, suggesting incentives still drive adoption.OCTOPUS LAUNCHES NORTH AMERICAN CHARGING APPOctopus Energy has launched Octopus Charge, a free iOS and Android app that lets drivers find, start and pay for public charging at 211,221 chargers across North America via 24 partner networks including ChargePoint, EVgo, Blink, bp pulse and Shell Recharge. The app offers filtering by speed, connector and network, live availability, pricing, an EV route planner and no markup on per-kWh costs, serving as the North American sibling to Octopus Electroverse.CHANGAN PREPARES AUSTRALIAN LAUNCH WITH AVATRChangan is recruiting for a factory-backed Australian operation covering both its mainstream Changan brand and its Huawei- and CATL-backed luxury brand Avatr, with a job advert referencing an "Avatr/Changan sales and service network" but no confirmed models, pricing or launch dates. The group, which sold 2.913 million vehicles globally in 2025, already has an Australian presence through Deepal and the Changan Mazda joint venture, and a right-hand-drive Avatr 07 was photographed testing in Melbourne earlier in 2026.BYD BUILDS MILAN DESIGN STUDIOBYD is building a Milan design studio led by Wolfgang Egger, formerly of Alfa Romeo, Audi and Lamborghini, to conduct European design research and tailor Denza and BYD models to local tastes, materials and fashion-house connections rather than imposing one global design. The move comes as BYD's share of the EU, EFTA and UK market more than doubled to 2.4% in the first half of 2026, matching Tesla's, while its Hungarian Szeged plant has slipped to full vehicle assembly in the fourth quarter of 2026.EINRIDE PLANS 500-TRUCK TESLA SEMI FLEETEinride will buy and deploy 500 Tesla Semis across California, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois and Georgia over 24 months from September, the largest publicly announced Semi order and 35% bigger than WattEV's 370-truck deal, fully financed by third parties and serving Amazon and other customers on its Saga AI platform. The order roughly triples Einride's deployed electric fleet and supports a target of converting about $800 million in potential annual recurring revenue, though the company has not disclosed pricing, charging plans or phasing, and Tesla has yet to publish Semi production or delivery figures.HEART FLIES X1 ELECTRIC DEMONSTRATORHeart Aerospace flew its X1 demonstrator on August 12, 2026 at Plattsburgh International Airport, a 27-minute piloted flight to 1,100 feet in what it calls the largest battery-electric aircraft flown to date, weighing over 25,000 pounds, delivering more than one megawatt and using roughly $5 of electricity. X1 is a full-scale representative of the 30-seat hybrid-electric ES-30, targeted for FAA Part 25 certification and service entry in 2031 with flight testing from 2028, and backed by commitments from United Airlines, Air Canada and JSX.ETRUCKER ADDS HGV ROUTE AND FLEET TOOLSThe eTrucker app, founded by Tobias Wagner after driving over 200,000 km in electric HGVs, has added route-break planning using TomTom Truck Routes, fleet pairing via a simple code, charging-card recommendations, pricing categories and time buffers for trailer detachment. As of 1 July 2026 it listed nearly 700 HGV-compatible locations in Germany, split between 154 drive-through sites, 158 where detachment is recommended and 387 requiring it, with Aral Pulse, EnBW, Ionity and Shell Recharge the leading operators.

Ferrari 275 GTBs, the Manson Family, a Rivian in the desert, and the Porsche 911 GT3 S/T debate. Spike, Zuckerman, and Sam from Seen Through Glass cover Monterey Car Week, vintage classics, and the rise of Chinese automakers in Europe and America. ______________________________________________

Europe rose 33% to 450,000 and other markets 97% to 280,000, while North America fell 27% to 140,000 as the US decline widened beyond 30%.ULTIUM CELLS TO RESTART OHIO OUTPUTUltium Cells restarts battery-cell production next week at its Warren, Ohio plant after a seven-month shutdown blamed on falling EV demand and the cancelled $7,500 federal tax credit. The GM–LG joint venture site makes large-format NCMA pouch cells with over 45GWh annual capacity for nearly all GM EVs, and expects headcount to reach 1,400 after cutting roughly 1,330 jobs at closure.VOLKSWAGEN OPENS ID.3 NEO UK ORDERSVolkswagen opened UK orders for the ID.3 Neo on 13 August 2026 from £33,080, or £31,580 after the Government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant, with 50, 58 and 79 kWh batteries giving up to 390 miles and DC charging from 100 kW to 183 kW. The revised hatchback gains new LED headlights, an illuminated badge, the return of physical buttons and rotary controls, a new Innovision system with an in-car app shop, and a 3.6 kW V2L adapter.TESLA PLANS 124-STALL SUPERCHARGER IN SOUTHERN SAN FRANCISCOTesla filed plans on 26 May 2026 for a 124-stall Supercharger at 75 Waterloo Street in southern San Francisco, one of the largest globally and unusual for sitting inside a city rather than beside a highway. The site draws entirely from the grid with no solar canopies or Megapack storage, and includes a 416-square-foot building with two restrooms, vending machines and water fountains open 24 hours.CHARGING FAILURES HIT SIX-YEAR LOWPublic charging failures fell to 12% in the second quarter from 14% a year earlier and 19% in 2023 and 2024, the lowest in the six-year history of JD Power's study, which credited faster chargers and larger destination-style sites. Ionna led DC fast-charger satisfaction on 807 out of 1,000, ahead of Mercedes-Benz on 797, Rivian on 755 and Tesla on 701, against a segment average of 666.CHINESE CAR MAKERS BUILD IN AFRICAChinese car makers are opening African factories to absorb domestic overcapacity and sidestep European and North American trade barriers, with Chery buying Nissan's Rosslyn plant near Pretoria in July and BAIC and Great Wall already operating on the continent. South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana are drawing investment through rebates, tax breaks and import bans on fossil-fuel cars, though weak grids, thin charging infrastructure and policy uncertainty still deter long-term commitment.GAC ADDS 44KWH AION UT WITH 320KM (199 MILES) WLTP RANGE IN LATE 2026GAC will add a 44kWh lithium iron phosphate entry version of the Aion UT with an estimated 320km (199 miles) WLTP range, priced under AUD$30,000 before on-road costs. It sits below the 60kWh Premium and Luxury at AUD$31,990 and AUD$35,990, answering cheaper rivals such as BYD's AUD$23,990 Atto 1 Essential and Geely's AUD$26,490 EX2 Complete.HONGQI TO ENTER AUSTRALIA IN 2027Hongqi will launch in Australia under the HQ name in January 2027 via Sydney distributor Greentech, starting with the E-HS9 large three-row electric SUV. Entry cars use a 99kWh NMC battery for 465km (289 miles) WLTP and higher trims a 120kWh pack for 515km (320 miles), with six- or seven-seat layouts and twin 16.2-inch displays, but no announced pricing.XCHARGE POWERS ELECTRIC AIRPORT FIRE ENGINEXCharge North America has deployed a 400-kW ultra-fast charger at Dallas Love Field Airport to serve Dallas Fire-Rescue's Rosenbauer Panther 6×6 Electric, billed as the world's first fully electric aircraft rescue and firefighting vehicle. The airport handles almost 18 million passengers a year, and XCharge argues electrification reduces the logistical and environmental risks of moving and storing liquid fuel around aircraft operations.One flag: the GAC headline says late 2026, but the copy says "late next year" — from an August 2026 dateline those are a year apart. Worth resolving before publication.
