TESLA LOWERS PRICE OF MODEL 3 SR+ IN CHINA - Tesla updated its online design studio in China with a new price for the locally produced Model 3 Standard Range Plus version. It's now noticeably less expensive. - Model 3 starts at 251,740 yuan ($38,960), which is about 14,000 yuan (2,166) or 5.3% less than in January 2021 (265,740 yuan). After including a subsidy of 15,840 yuan ($2,451) the effective price is 235,900 yuan ($36,508). - The estimated delivery time of both versions is 4-6 weeks. The main question is whether Tesla will lower the prices of the Model 3 Standard Range Plus also in other markets, like Europe and the U.S.?

The patent outlines the use of an electrochemical dissolution to recover the Earth metals for recycling purposes, moving toward a more efficient supply chain as some battery materials are becoming hard to obtain due to global supply chain shortages. - The patent, if granted, would open doors for Tesla to recover some of the most crucial elements of an electric vehicle or energy storage battery.

"That's a huge thing because just a few years ago we were worried about what would replace the loss of diesel." - The Zoe, on the market since late 2012, was the third-best-selling EV in western Europe in the first half - Dacia boss Denis Le Vot said the Chinese-built Spring minicar had 16,000 firm customer orders, even though retail deliveries would not start until September (about 2,000 Springs have been delivered to European fleet customers, mostly for short-term rental programs).

According to the company, the Silver Ray vehicle carrier has completed its journey of over 12,000 nautical miles with more than 3,900 cars on board. - We believe that Hyundai has a significant order backlog for the Ioniq 5 - its first dedicated electric car, based on the all-new E-GMP platform - and that it has the potential for exceeding 10,000 units a month (globally) in the near future. - The 72.6 kWh battery version combined with RWD is rated at up to 300 miles (483 km) of WLTP range.

Any investment decision is likely to be ultimately worth well over £1bn, they added.

They're focused not only on making sure R1T and R1S exceed customer expectations, but also on future Rivian products THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE BILL IS GOOD FOR EVS - If it's approved, the bipartisan infrastructure deal announced this week will make it easier for Americans to buy and own an electric car. But it won't help meet President Joe Biden's ambitious goal to cut carbon emissions in half by 2030. - Experts in urban policy and electrification told The Verge that the money authorized for a nationwide network of EV chargers would have a measurable impact on Americans' car-buying choices. The $1 trillion deal ($550 billion of which is new spending) includes $7.5 billion to fund Biden's plan to build half a million EV chargers across the country - If this deal passes, though, it will likely entrench — not disrupt — the transportation habits of millions of Americans.

Social media users are using an outdated and misleading video to claim automaker General Motors said 95% of energy for charging electric cars comes from coal. - “GM admits the ‘clean' energy used to charge electric cars comes from COAL. 95% coal, to be exact,” reads a July 13 Facebook post. The claim went viral in April, after a video was shared to YouTube titled, "GM spokesperson admits 95% of 'clean' energy to charge electric cars comes from COAL." - The video referenced in the claims as evidence is from a 2010 news conference in Lansing, Michigan, regarding the Chevy Volt - The clip was part of “Planet of the Humans,” a documentary directed by Jeff Gibbs. It was released in 2020 ahead of Earth Day, and climate experts say the film is full of falsehoods and outdated information on renewable energy. - Per data from the EIA, 60% of electricity generation in the U.S. in 2020 was from fossil fuels: coal (19.3%) Original Source : https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/07/30/fact-check-posts-makes-false-claim-gm-electric-cars/5428075001/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM With 2877 Superchargers globally and 25000 stalls, what do you think about Tesla's plan to open up the network to everyone?

How we prepare for, get through, and recover from disasters have sadly become increasingly pressing questions. But the impact of disasters, and people’s needs in these conditions can be very different according to their circumstances.To address some of these questions, recently DARU, that’s the Disability Advocacy Resource Unit, held an online forum on Disability and Disaster Resilience.This week on the program, we speak with Country Fire Authority project manager Angela Cook, who spoke at the forum about how the CFA is working to support people with disabilities to prepare for bushfires, and new resources for the Preparing Vulnerable People project which will be launching on the 11th of September.We’ll also hear an excerpt from the forum where Angela speaks with Toni, a woman with a lived experience of disability who has been instrumental in advocating for change.

Concerns have been raised about the number of volunteers the CFA has attracted, with the total number at the lowest it has been in a decade. Nine News reported "The state's Country Fire Authority missed its target of 39,400 volunteer firefighters in the 2018/19 financial year, with 34,380 registered, according to a copy of its latest annual report leaked to the Herald Sun." "The leaked report also showed the CFA wage bill ballooning by $100 million over three years. The force's annual salary costs grew to $319 million in 2018/19, up from $288 million on the previous year." https://www.9news.com.au/national/vic-firefighter-wage-spend-on-the-rise/a96add6f-db9c-4f7b-9290-e286e2aec243 This episode contains material used for fair use commentary, criticism, and educational purposes.

Mark Gunning, Operations Manager from the CFA Colac district 6, gives us a comprehensive rundown on all areas of the CFA's work. (Thanks to Steve Berry.) CFA (Country Fire Authority) is a volunteer and community based fire and emergency services organisation. They help protect 3.3 million Victorians, and more than one million homes and properties across the state.
Operations Manager Tony O'Day is head of the Country Fire Authority's (CFA) Emergency Medical Response (EMR) and Wellbeing team. In this episode, Tony explains the role of EMR and the wellbeing programs that CFA has introduced to manage the health and well-being of first responders and other CFA members. Operations Manager Tony O'Day Tony has held a variety of state and field-based positions during his career, including a stint as the Victorian Fire Services Liaison Officer for Victoria Police in the Counter-Terrorism Coordination and Emergency Management Department. What is Emergency Medical Response? When an EMR event occurs, both Ambulance Victoria (AV) and CFA resources are dispatched to the Emergency. These emergencies are classified as Priority Zero events, which in the main involves people who are suffering potential cardiac arrest. According to CFA the "The primary aim of the EMR program is to reduce response time to cardiac arrest patients with a longer-term aim of improving survival outcomes". EMR means that patients can get access to early CPR and early defibrillation which increases survivability. When did Emergency Medical Response start in Victoria? The Metropolitan Fire Brigade began EMR in 2001. CFA commenced EMR in 2008 as part of a trial involving five volunteer brigades. The program has since been extended to CFA's Integrated brigades. CFAs Mental Health Programs The introduction of EMR has caused CFA to have a greater focus on managing mental health. CFA members have access to a range of mental health services including: Peer Program- psychological first aid (PFA) and personal support provided by trained CFA peers for personal or CFA-related issues. Chaplaincy Program- On-site and off-site non-denominational pastoral care support through an external provider. Member Assistance Program- Professional, confidential counselling through an external provider for personal or CFA-related issues.

Training leaders. That's the business Operations Officer Graham Kirk is in. Why? Because he's passionate about the development of others. The team he leads is responsible for ensuring the people who graduate to the ranks of Leading Firefighter and Station Officer have the skills to combat the great variety emergencies they will face. The promotional program is designed, delivered and assessed by the people who do the job they are training others to do. Station Officers and Leading firefighters working for CFA need to be prepared for any emergency. Working for the Country Fire Authority means that firefighters are required to working across a variety of risk environments. One day they could be fighting a factory fire in the suburbs of Melbourne and the next they could be combating a Hazmat incident in a large country town and the week after they could be managing a grassfire in an urban interface zone.

In this interview Senior Station Officer Chris Hall from the Country Fire Authority in Victoria, Australia, shares his experiences while on an international deployment. He talks about the value of exchanging ideas from both interstate and international emergency management agencies. Deployment to California In October 2017, personnel from the Country Fire Authority and Victoria’s Forest Fire Management Victoria were deployed to assist in fighting the fires in Northern California. According to Emergency Management Victoria, there is a healthy relationship with California, in particular, CalOES and CalFire. Incident Overview On 8 October 2017, multiple wildfires occurred across California. The wildfires burned more than 245,000 acres, 8,900 structures and were responsible for 43 deaths. 2017 has seen California endure some of the worst wildfires in United States History. An Incident overview is available at California Wildfire Statewide Recovery Resource. Pack Test require for international deployment The pack test for personnel deployed to California involved waking 4.83 kilometres on a level track carrying a weight of 20.4 kilograms within 45 minutes. In a Fire Note from 2011, the Bushfire CRC discusses The relevance of the Pack Hike Test for Australian bushfire firefighters. http://www.bushfirecrc.com/sites/default/files/managed/resource/pack_hike_test_fire_note.pdf Incident Action Plans The incident action planning process provides a tool to synchronise operations at the incident level. It ensures that incident operations support of incident objectives. QR Codes and Avenza QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is the trademark for a type of matrix barcode (or two-dimensional barcode) first designed for the automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. Avenza uses QR codes to deliver maps electronically. Avenza Maps® is a mobile map app that allows you to download maps for offline use on iOS or Android smartphone or tablet as well as on Windows 10 devices. Managing an incident within an incident A highlight for Chris was the way that CalFire focused on the importance of having a plan of action should an incident within an incident eventuate. The use of the Medical Plan form was critical in facilitating this process. The National Wildfire Coordinating Group provides instructions for completing this form. Wildland Urban Interface (WIU) Placard Another key point of interest for Chris was Calfire's use of the "Wildland Urban Interface Placard"(WIU). The purpose of WUI placard is to: Triage a property to determine the risks associated with defending a particular property.

52 Jordan White (Playwrite). "Why would I waste my time working for someone else when I can pour myself into something I love?" Playwrite lead singer & keys player, Jordan White, has had the most wonderful upbringing - the son of a dancer/choreographer and a singer/director, Jordan spent his childhood traveling the world of musical theatre to Broadway, the West End, Singapore, Hong Kong and more. We begin today’s podcast with the story behind Playwrite’s powerful debut album ‘Cathedrals’, a wonderful work of art and band born of the tragedy of the Black Saturday Fires, Australia's highest ever loss of life from a series of bushfires and one of the worst disasters in Australian history, where fellow band mate and best friend Patrick Holcombe lost his parents whilst trying to save their home in Kinglake, Victoria.I’m brought to the verge of tears as I remember these cataclysmic events, forever etched in the memories of Victorians - one of my best mates, Nick was a Country Fire Authority volunteer, fighting the fires in the Kinglake area and ferrying people to safety or another friend, Shayne, who is a State Emergency Service volunteer, whose job it was during the Black Saturday Fires to check burnt out cars and other vehicles for people trapped inside… Tears...From the ashes of sadness, we build through the podcast from this tough start to discuss the positivity and the powerful resilience of those individuals in our lives who’ve evolved into pillars of strength from great diversity, Jordan White’s determination to eliminate the fear and eliminate the self-doubt by recording an album a month for the year of 2015 through his solo project Braille Face, YOWO young women’s music program, Marriage Equality, the ‘one arm up, one arm down’ philosophy to ambition and success, David Burns & the physiological impact of music, a mum who left school at the end of Year 8 to dance in Evita and subsequently ended up being able to buy her parents a house as a result, the magic of musical theatre, parents who performed in the original cast of Cats and the impact that musical theatre has made on Jordan's attitude towards his fans and the band’s live performance, … Powerful chats and just so much goodness... Playwrite and their music have made a massive impact on my life; I seriously get chills every single time I listen to their music, they lift me up when I’m feeling flat and wow… you should see them live! ✨ Enjoy the podcast and remember "Do what feels right, follow your gut instinct and pull the trigger!"For more on Playwrite:Playwriteband.com/Stream and buy Playwrite ‘Cathedrals’ on BandcampFollow Playwrite on TwitterWatch ‘Animals Housed’ shot in Kinglake.And:Listen to Braille Face on Sound Cloud Michelle Brasier & Backwards Anorak YOWO young women’s music program.
