The ID.4 leads the tally with roughly 901,000 units sold globally, while the brand now looks ahead to four new affordable EVs including the ID. Polo, arriving in 2026.ŠKODA GIVES SUPERB HATCH A 200 KW PHEVŠkoda has unveiled a 200 kW plug-in hybrid for the Superb Hatch, pairing a 1.5 TSI petrol engine with an 85 kW electric motor and a 25.7 kWh battery — making it the most powerful combustion-engine model in Škoda's current lineup. The launch reflects growing demand: one in four Superb models now sells with a PHEV powertrain, and more than 68,000 Superb iV models have been delivered since 2019.CANADA OPENS CHINA-BUILT EV QUOTA AT 6.1% TARIFFCanada began accepting import permit applications from 1 March 2026, allowing up to 49,000 China-built EVs per year to enter at a 6.1% tariff — a sharp cut from the 106.1% rate imposed in 2024 — on a first-come, first-served basis. Tesla, Polestar, and Volvo are considered frontrunners to use the allocation, which Ottawa plans to scale to 70,000 vehicles annually by 2030, with 50% of that expanded quota reserved for EVs below a set price threshold.CUPRA SETS 5 MARCH BORN FACELIFT REVEALCupra will unveil the Born facelift on 5 March, bringing harder-edged front and rear styling that aligns the model visually with the newer Terramar and Tavascan, plus expected interior upgrades including more premium materials and a revised infotainment layout. The refresh matters commercially: the Born has sold nearly 30,000 units in the UK alone since its 2022 launch, and Cupra will also soon introduce the smaller Raval electric hatchback from approximately £23,000.RANGE ROVER VELAR EV SPOTTED ON WINTER TESTA Range Rover Velar EV prototype has been caught in European winter testing, revealing a dramatically reshaped body with a cab-forward stance, angular haunches, and a fastback-leaning roofline that breaks sharply from traditional boxy SUV design. Crucially, it will be the first Jaguar Land Rover model built on the new 800-volt Electric Modular Architecture (EMA) platform, which is engineered to deliver over 300 miles of range and faster charging capability.RIVIAN LAUNCHES RAD PERFORMANCE SUB-BRANDRivian has launched the Rivian Adventure Department (RAD), a dedicated performance sub-brand targeting harder and faster off-road driving that puts it in direct competition with Land Rover's Octa and Ford's Raptor line. RAD formalises the engineering team already responsible for the R1S and R1T Quad Motor variants, giving Rivian's performance ambitions an official identity and a public-facing platform.TESLA TELLS MODEL Y OWNERS TO CHARGE GENTLYTesla has updated the Model Y Owner's Manual to advise owners to rely on home Level 1 or Level 2 charging for daily use — keeping limits at 80% — and to reserve Superchargers for road trips, warning that frequent DC fast charging accelerates long-term battery degradation. For long-term storage, Tesla recommends parking at approximately 50% state of charge and flagging that features like Sentry Mode and Dog Mode can silently drain the battery at roughly 1% per day while the car sits idle.VOLVO PLOTS FASTER ZERO-EMISSION TRUCK PUSHVolvo Group is accelerating its battery-electric heavy truck strategy from a position of strength, holding a 19% share of the European heavy-truck market for the second consecutive year. Its flagship FH Aero Electric packs 780 kWh of batteries for up to 600 km of range and supports megawatt charging that takes the pack from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes — aligning recharge stops with mandatory driver rest breaks.LYTEN TAKES OVER NORTHVOLT'S SWEDISH BATTERY ASSETSLyten has completed its acquisition of Northvolt's Swedish operations — covering Northvolt Ett, Ett Expansion, and Northvolt Labs — in a deal encompassing nearly $5 billion in book value, 16 GWh of manufacturing capacity, and Europe's largest battery R&D centre. The company plans to restart lithium-ion NMC cell production at the Skellefteå site in the second half of 2026, and will use Northvolt Labs in Västerås to advance its proprietary lithium-sulfur battery technology.BRIM EXPLORER ORDERS TWO ELECTRIC TRIMARANSOslo-based Brim Explorer has signed contracts for two fully electric trimarans — each 24 metres long, carrying 180 passengers — which the firm claims will be the world's most efficient battery-powered vessels upon their spring 2027 delivery. The boats will operate silent, emission-free sightseeing cruises along Norway's coast with a battery-only range of 100 nautical miles at speeds up to 20 knots, expanding Brim's existing five-vessel fleet.

Het gebouw verzakt, het contract loopt af, en 160 servers moeten naar een nieuw thuis. Twee datacentra tegelijk verhuizen — met een team van vrijwilligers. Welkom bij ColoClue. Netwerkvereniging ColoClue is een coöperatieve colocatievereniging: een club van zo'n 250 leden die samen serverruimte huren in professionele datacentra en daar hun eigen hardware ophangen. Geen SLA's, geen commerciële dienst — maar wel een eigen netwerk (AS8283), verbindingen met meerdere internet exchanges en een indrukwekkende hoeveelheid veteranen uit de internetbranche. Bestuurslid Tjerk Jan Vonk en medeoprichter Niels Raijer vertellen over de dubbele datacenterverhuizing die deze zomer op het programma staat. Van EU Networks (het pand verzakt) en Cupra naar Iron Mountain in Haarlem en NorthC in Amsterdam. Daarnaast: een nieuw remote rack in Enschede, een partnerschap met AMS-IX via de Bright Networks Club, en Randals zoektocht om twee servers op één colocatieplek te hangen zonder dubbel te betalen. Over Tjerk Jan Vonk Tjerk Jan Vonk is freelance netwerkarchitect en sinds april 2024 bestuurslid bij ColoClue, waar hij de dubbele datacentermigratie leidt. Hij heeft eerder bij Equinix Enschede gewerkt en studeerde aan Saxion Hogeschool.

At the Mira festival in Barcelona, Marie Davison returned to Line Noise for the third time, proving once again that she is one of the sharpest, funniest people in dance music today.

Tänases saade on tihedalt täis uudiseid lähemalt ja kaugemalt. Muuhulgas räägime Eesti seisukohast EL-i sõnumside jälgimise ehk nn chat control teemal ja Swedbanki plaanist petturite elu keerulisemaks tegemisel. Vaatame üle kaks huvitavat AI-assistentide Eesti kohta käivate teadmiste testi ning arutame, kas tehisintellekt võiks eksamitulemusi kontrollida või peaksime hoopis tehisintellekti kontrollima. Saate teises pooles räägime pistikhübriididest, mille ajendas sõiduproov Cupra Terramariga.  Saate teemad: ·       Eesti ei toeta sõnumite lausjälgimist, aga uued segasevõitu reeglid annavad põhjuse kahtlusteks ·       Swedbanki äpp ei luba kõne ajal ülekannet teha ·       Kaks testi võtsid luubi alla AI juturobotite Eesti ajaloo- ja kultuuriteadmiste taseme ·      Teadlased pakuvad, et AI võiks keeleeksamite tulemusi hinnata ·       Gemini sai versiooniuuenduse ja teeb nüüd ka muusikat ·       Apple toob AI-assistendid autosse ·       Glen sõitis Ungaris tehtud Hispaania pistikhübriidiga ning jagab muljeid Kui sul on meile küsimusi või tahad jagada oma kogemusi tehnikamaailmas, kirjuta meile: digisaade@geenius.ee. Saadet teevad Hans Lõugas, Glen Pilvre ja Meelis Väljamäe. Tunnusmuusika: Glen Pilvre, Paul Oja.

Este programa se emite todos los jueves y los viernes en el 92.7 FM de Onda Cero en Madrid. En este programa salimos del estudio para trasladarnos al Cupra City Garage, donde charlamos con Carlos de Luis, director de comunicación de Cupra en España. Allí conocemos de primera mano un nuevo concept que podría llegar a producción: el Cupra Tindalla. Analizamos su planteamiento, su posicionamiento dentro de la marca y qué posibilidades reales tiene de convertirse en un modelo de serie en los próximos años. También hablamos con Fernando Poveda, director de comunicación de Omoda en nuestro país. Con él repasamos cómo está evolucionando la marca en España, sus cifras, su red comercial y su estrategia de crecimiento. Además, profundizamos en su nuevo lanzamiento, el Omoda 7 SHS, un modelo clave para consolidar su presencia en el mercado. Cerramos el programa con Carlos Solaso, director general de KGM España, para conocer los planes de la marca en esta nueva etapa. Nos presenta dos modelos fundamentales para su ofensiva comercial: el KGM Actyon y el KGM Musso EV, una pick-up eléctrica que marca un paso importante en la estrategia de electrificación de la compañía. Un programa cargado de actualidad, estrategia y producto, donde tres marcas muy distintas comparten visión: crecer, consolidarse y apostar fuerte por el mercado español.

This week on Line Noise a legend returns: Karl Bartos was first on Line Noise in 2022 around the release of his autobiography; The Sound of the Machine, My Life in Kraftwerk and Beyond. In 2026 he returns and the emphasis is on his solo career and especially, his debut solo album Communication, which was re-released by Bureau B last year and which initially came out in 2003. We talk about leaving Kraftwerk, liberation, the power of a group and his love of The Beatles, getting away from computers, guitars, Johnny Marr, remixing Planet Rock, the Telephone Call - he even plays us a few bars, Esperanto and so much more, in a wide-ranging and very warm interview. I hope you enjoy listening half as much as I enjoyed doing it. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra. Photo by Marion von der Mehden.

This week Line Noise gives you two French house legends for the price of one: Busy P and DJ Falcon. Busy P is Pedro Winter, producer, DJ, founder of Ed Banger records and - yes - once manager of Daft Punk, the lynchpin of Parisian dance. Stéphane Quême is DJ Falcon, whose very first productions became the brilliant Hello My Name Is DJ Falcon EP back in 1999; he later formed half of Together with Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter and is currently working with Alan Braxe. Ben Cardew spoke to them at the Nitsa club in Barcelona ahead of their DJ gig about their relationship, DJing back to back, Falcon's first productions, the birth of Ed Banger and so much more, including Pedro Winter giving the full background story to that night on October 25 at the Centre Pompidou when Thomas Bangalter returned to DJing alongside Fred Again and Busy P.

Today on Line Noise we welcome one of the most brilliant minds in modern music, Matthew Herbert, a man who has sampled a pig from birth to plate; formed a Brexit Big Band; and headed up the BBC's legendary Radiophonic Workshop. He still found time to create one of the most dazzlingy beautiful records in house music with Bodily Functions; and, only last year, released the brilliant Clay long player with Momoko. This Saturday (January 17, 2026) he is playing Poly-Rythmo Club at La Paloma. In the interview, we talked about everything from making a record from the sun to the state of dance music, plus Matthew gives a surprisingly in-depth answer to which of his songs he would play to my mum and reveals what he considers to be the most beautiful piece of music he has ever made. Enjoy. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra.

CUPRA ohne Tradition – aber mit Haltung. In dieser Episode von Moove – der New Mobility Podcast nehmen wir euch mit hinter die Kulissen einer Marke, die bewusst aneckt, polarisiert und genau deshalb erfolgreich ist. Vom Autohaus als Wohnzimmer über Padel statt Golf bis zur Generation Raval: Sven Schubert erklärt, wie CUPRA mit vergleichsweise kleinen Mitteln große Wirkung erzielt – und warum Elektromobilität, Nachhaltigkeit und Emotionalität kein Widerspruch sind. Eine Folge über Marketing mit Mut, Mobilität mit Charakter und die Frage, wie viel Rebellion eine Automarke heute braucht.

Ben Cardew spoke to Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith about loss, love, death and more as she prepared for the release of her new album Thoughts on the Future. Also on the agenda: body music, the most romantic song in the world, farming, yoga and silence, in 40 illuminating minutes. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra. Photo by Tom Saccenti.

Basic Unit are the Line Noise artist of the year for 2025, for the re-release of their classic Timeline album and the release of their first new material in 20 years, the Redux EP. Ben Cardew spoke to Ben England, half of Basic Unit alongside Rick Dallaway, about defying expectations, progressive house, Autechre, techstep, the unique way in which Timeline was made, cult success and mad production skill. Plus, we discuss falling in and out of love with drum & bass. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Sébastien Guigues ha costruito il proprio percorso nell'automotive attraversando tre realtà molto diverse tra loro: la disciplina tedesca del Gruppo Volkswagen, l'energia spagnola di SEAT e CUPRA, e infine il ritorno in Francia alla guida di Renault. Oggi guida Renault Italia e, insieme a lui, proviamo a capire cosa significa coordinare un team in un settore che, nell'ultimo decennio, è stato ridefinito da innovazioni tecnologiche, cambiamenti sociali e nuovi modi di vivere la mobilità.

Ben Cardew spoke to hugely respected author and DJ Bill Brewster about Burn It Up: The Rise Of British Dance Music 1986-1991, his new compilation for Cherry Red, which traces a fascinating period in British dance music. They talked about Samantha Fox and Steinski; Hans Zimmer, Mel and Kim, the Paradise Garage; and why house took off in the UK where hip hop didn't really. Plus they discuss how to balance recognising dance music history without being a dance-floor bore and Bill talks about his excellent books with Frank Broughton, Last Night a DJ Saved My Life and How To DJ (Properly). Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Ben Cardew spoke to journalist Jim Butler about A Disco Pogo Tribute To LCD Soundsystem, a new book from the Disco Pogo crew that was published at the start of November 2025. They covered the unique appeal of LCD, Disco Pogo's history with the band, the godlike Nancy Whang and dance music history. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

Ben Cardew spoke to techno titan Paul Kalkbrenner about why The Essence is his best album - and the first to feature no filler - the wonky dance productions of the 90s, playing to half a million people, Depeche Mode, melancholia, Stromae and why he will never play Mein Freund Onze live.

Quizás el título podría ser menos duro, algo así como “marcas que PUEDEN desaparecer...y A LO PEOR es que se lo merecen”. Porque en la jungla del automóvil, la historia no te salva. Algunas marcas, por sus errores, su soberbia o su incapacidad para ver el futuro, parece que están cavando su propia tumba. Y hoy te vamos a decir cuáles y por qué… y esperamos equivocarnos. 1. Aston Martin. Propietario: Aston Martin Lagonda Global Holdings plc (Consorcio de inversores). País: Reino Unido. ¿Por qué se lo merece? Porque parece que no aprende. Ha sido rescatada una y otra vez por inversores que se enamoran del nombre, pero la gestión sigue siendo un pozo sin fondo. Queman dinero a un ritmo alarmante, la deuda es gigantesca y su plan de electrificación ha sido errático. 2. Chrysler. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Por abandono de funciones. Una marca no puede sobrevivir sin coches que vender. La han dejado morir lentamente, sin darle nuevos modelos. Ahora prometen un futuro eléctrico con concepts como el Halcyon, pero es muy poco y llega muy tarde. Su final será el resultado de décadas de negligencia corporativa. 3. DS Automobiles. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Francia. ¿Por qué se merece desaparecer? Porque el consumidor no es tonto. DS no ofrece una tecnología propia, ni plataformas exclusivas, ni una experiencia que justifique su sobreprecio. Es un intento de "quiero y no puedo" que el mercado jamás ha comprado. 4. Fisker. Propietario: Fisker Inc. (En bancarrota). País: Estados Unidos. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? No puedes lanzar un producto a medio hacer y esperar que la gente pague por ser tu beta tester. Ahora, la empresa está en bancarrota, los coches pierden su valor a un ritmo vertiginoso y los propietarios están abandonados. Es la crónica de una muerte anunciada. 5. Infinity. Propietario: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. País: Japón. ¿Por qué merece estar en esta lista? Por pura negligencia. Nissan nunca supo o nunca quiso invertir de verdad en Infiniti para hacerla competitiva a nivel global. La abandonó a su suerte. Se retiraron de Europa en 2020 sin hacer ruido y en su mercado principal, Estados Unidos, sus ventas son irrelevantes. Ahora dicen que se van a centrar en SUVs eléctricos. Infiniti es la prueba de que, si no cuidas tu marca, se marchita y desaparece sin que nadie la eche de menos. 6. Jaguar. Propietario: Tata Motors (a través de Jaguar Land Rover). País: Reino Unido / India. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Su campaña de "rebranding" fue un ejercicio de egolatría sin enseñar un solo coche. Han enfadado a sus clientes fieles y han desaparecido del mapa. Esta apuesta de "todo o nada" es de una arrogancia sin límites. Si los nuevos eléctricos, que serán carísimos, no son un éxito absoluto, Jaguar no tendrá nada a lo que recurrir. Y será una gran pérdida para todos los aficionados. 7. Lancia. Propietario: Stellantis. País: Italia. Se merece estar en esta lista por el abandono y el maltrato al que ha sido sometida por sus propio dueños. 8. Lucid Motors. Propietario: Lucid Group, Inc. (Principal accionista: Fondo de Inversión Pública de Arabia Saudí). País: Estados Unidos / Arabia Saudí. ¿Por qué merece desaparecer? Porque su supervivencia depende exclusivamente del dinero del fondo soberano de Arabia Saudí. No es una empresa viable por sí misma. Su producción es mínima y no hace más que quemar miles de millones. Es una empresa artificialmente sostenida que demuestra que un buen producto no es suficiente sin un plan de negocio realista. 9. SEAT. Propietario: Grupo Volkswagen. País: España / Alemania. ¿Por qué es un final merecido? Porque, estratégicamente, Volkswagen decidió que no había sitio para SEAT, a medio camino entre Skoda y la propia Volkswagen. En lugar de potenciarla, crearon Cupra para quedarse con la parte más rentable del pastel: los coches más aspiracionales. Han canibalizado a la madre para alimentar a la hija. 10. Wey / Ora. Propietario: Great Wall Motor (GWM). País: China. Merecen estar aquí como representantes de la arrogancia de algunos fabricantes chinos, que pensaban que llegar a Europa era un camino de rosas. El mercado europeo es maduro y muy competitivo. No basta con hacer un coche aceptable; necesitas una estrategia de precios, de marca y de postventa sólida. Muchas de estas nuevas marcas desaparecerán de nuestro mercado tan rápido como llegaron. Conclusión. La industria está en un punto de inflexión brutal, y la arrogancia, la falta de visión o la mala gestión son pecados capitales. Estas diez marcas son la prueba de que en este negocio no se vive del pasado, sino de la capacidad de acertar con el futuro.

Ben Cardew spoke to Turbotito and Ragz from Naya Beat Records about Mohinder Kaur Bhamra's Punjabi Disco, cult classics, South Asian dance and electronic music and digging in India. Line Noise is supported by Cupra.

It may be 10 months or so to Primavera Sound 2026 but it's never too early to get planning. On this special Line Noise, Ben Cardew and Johann Wald look at the best electronic music in the Primavera Sound 2026 line up, from live legends to weird sh*t. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra.

Emma-Jean Thackray's second album Weirdo is a modern classic and if you don't like it, you're wrong. We spoke to Emma-Jean before her recent Barcelona gig about pitch-dark humour, Jazz Club, reclaiming the word "weirdo" and the saving power of music. Photo by Lewis Vorn.

Ben Cardew spoke to Kevin Foakes - aka Strictly Kev aka DJ Food about Telepathic Fish: Trawling The Early 90s Ambient Underground - a new compilation album tracing the history of South London's premier ambient party. They spoke about the dreaded “chill out” term, the influence of The Orb, chatting to Aphex, the spirit of London and people dancing to ambient DJs. Line Noise comes to you with the support of Cupra.

On the latest Line Noise, I spoke to Guy Brewer aka Carrier (and formerly one third of Commix and all of Shifted) about insane drum & bass production skill, Cambridge Hardcore, Berlin and Antwerp, primal feelings and a lot more. His debut album as Carrier, Rhythm Immortal, is released on October 24. Line Noise comes with the support of Cupra.
