Podcasts about eqs suv

On today's show, we recommend an EV for  a very special couple wanting to replace a Nissan Leaf a viewer torn between the previous Chevy Bolt and the one to come  and another viewer torn between the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and...the Mercedes EQS SUV?

Mercedes Benz dice que: Los eléctricos de Mercedes-Benz son tan seguros como todos los demás modelos ¿Por qué dice Mercedes que sus eléctricos son tan seguros como sus modelos de combustión? • Mercedes-Benz es el primer fabricante de automóviles en el mundo en realizar públicamente una prueba de choque frontal entre dos vehículos eléctricos. Lo que no han compartido son todos los criterios biomecánicos de cada uno de los dummies. Todos los eléctricos se homologan y tienen prueba de choque, ¿Qué hace diferente Mercedes? • La homologación no exige tanto como lo que hace EuroNCAP, Mercedes Benz coge un EQA y un EQS SUV y los colisiona de frente con un solapamiento del 50 por ciento en un escenario de accidente real, cada uno viajando a 56 km/h. Sin tener criterios biomecánicos, ¿qué datos hay que nos digan que la seguridad es correcta? ¿Deja la prueba de choque claro que la seguridad en Mercedes-Benz no es cuestión del sistema de propulsión? • La célula de seguridad de pasajeros y la batería de alto voltaje de ambos vehículos permanecieron intactas como estaba previsto. • Las puertas se pudieron abrir y los sistemas de alto voltaje se apagaron automáticamente. ¿Cómo hace Mercedes para exigir más que EuroNCAP en el choque? • Mercedes-Benz va más allá de los requisitos legales y también de los de la industria de calificaciones. Euro NCAP estipula una prueba de impacto frontal utilizando un carro de 1,400 kg con una barrera de panal de aluminio que replica el frente de otro vehículo. De acuerdo con las especificaciones, el vehículo de prueba y el carro colisionan con un solapamiento y a una velocidad de 50 km/h. Sin embargo, Mercedes-Benz utilizó dos vehículos reales, un EQA y un EQS SUV, que son significativamente más pesados, alrededor de 2.2 y tres toneladas respectivamente. Además, ambos modelos eran más rápidos, cada uno yendo a 56 km/h, lo que significaba que la energía total del choque era considerablemente más alta que la requerida por EuroNAP y por la homologación. Los vehículos deforman mucho ¿No es malo? • La gran deformación de los vehículos después de la colisión muestra que los vehículos pudieron absorber eficazmente la energía de la colisión al deformarse. Todo a la vez que la célula de seguridad de los pasajeros de ambos modelos eléctricos permaneció intacta y las puertas aún podrían abrirse. ¿Mercedes hace muchos choques así? • La prueba de choque en el Centro de Tecnología para la Seguridad del Vehículo del Grupo en Sindelfingen demuestra la filosofía de seguridad en la vida real de Mercedes-Benz: fabricar coches que no solo se mantengan en escenarios de pruebas de choque definidos, sino también en accidentes en la vida real. ¿Desde cuándo Mercedes se preocupa de la seguridad? • "La seguridad es parte del ADN de Mercedes-Benz y uno de nuestros principales compromisos con todos los usuarios de la carretera. Para nosotros, proteger vidas humanas no es una cuestión de sistema de conducción. El reciente test de choque con dos vehículos completamente eléctricos lo demuestra. Prueba que todos nuestros vehículos tienen un nivel de seguridad igualmente alto, independientemente de la tecnología que los impulse. Trabajamos arduamente para lograr nuestra visión de conducción sin accidentes, que va más allá de los objetivos "Visión Cero" establecidos por la OMS y las Comisiones Regionales de las Naciones Unidas. No queremos solo cero muertes en tráfico para 2050 y una reducción a la mitad del número de muertes y lesiones graves en el tráfico para 2030 en comparación con 2020. Nuestro objetivo para 2050 es cero accidentes con un vehículo Mercedes-Benz." - Markus Schäfer, Miembro del Consejo de Administración de Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Director de Tecnología. • Mercedes Benz tiene más de 60 años de experiencia en pruebas de choque. Junto con el análisis del Grupo de Investigación de Accidentes, esta experiencia forma la base de la filosofía de seguridad en la vida real. Fundada en 1969, la unidad de Investigación de Accidentes analiza accidentes que involucran vehículos modernos de Mercedes-Benz. El objetivo es comprender cómo ocurren los accidentes y qué sistemas de seguridad podrían haberlos prevenido o reducido su gravedad. ¿Qué tipo de dummies se usan en estos choques? • El EQA y EQS SUV llevaban dos dummies adultos cada uno: un total de tres mujeres y un hombre. El análisis de hasta 150 puntos de medición por dummy indica un bajo riesgo de lesión grave a fatal. Esto significa que las zonas de deformación definidas y los sistemas avanzados de retención en ambos vehículos ofrecen un muy buen potencial de protección para los ocupantes en un choque de esta gravedad. Todos los equipos de seguridad, como airbags y tensores de cinturón con limitadores de fuerza de cinturón, funcionaron como se esperaba. ¿Qué sucede con los dummies femeninos? • Los dummies femeninos se colocaron en el asiento del conductor de ambos vehículos: el Hybrid III Percentil 5 Femenino, que es el maniquí femenino utilizado actualmente en la industria automotriz para pruebas de colisión frontal. Corresponde a una mujer de aproximadamente 1,5 metros de altura y un peso de unos 49 kilogramos. Según las estadísticas subyacentes, solo el cinco por ciento de las mujeres en todo el mundo son más pequeñas. • Durante muchos años, Mercedes-Benz ha utilizado pruebas de choque frontal con maniquíes femeninos en el asiento delantero para diseñar sus sistemas de protección para la más amplia gama posible de clientes. • Las valoraciones de las asociaciones de protección al consumidor, así como diversas normativas legales en todo el mundo, ahora incluyen especificaciones para pruebas con maniquíes femeninos del percentil quinto. Otro dummy mujer era pasajera en el EQA. En el asiento del pasajero del EQS SUV había un maniquí Hybrid III Percentil 50, que representa a un hombre de 78 kilogramos de peso y altura 175 cm. • "Hemos estado usando maniquíes femeninos en Mercedes-Benz durante más de 20 años. Sin embargo, no son muñecas humanas, sino instrumentos de medición. Al diseñar el equipo de medición, el peso y el tamaño de los géneros de los maniquíes se derivan de datos humanos reales, con el maniquí femenino correspondiente a la anatomía femenina." - Dr. Hanna Paul, Jefa de Tecnología de Maniquíes, Mercedes-Benz AG ¿Estos choques no se hacen con simulaciones en ordenador? • El test de choque confirmó así los resultados que los ingenieros habían calculado previamente en numerosas simulaciones informáticas (simulaciones por elementos finitos). Las pruebas de vehículos en la vida real también sirven siempre como comparación final con las simulaciones. Además, el test de choque muestra claramente que la compatibilidad (es decir, la interacción de las estructuras de deformación de diferentes vehículos involucrados en un accidente) es parte de los requisitos de seguridad para los coches Mercedes-Benz. • "Este test de choque con dos vehículos eléctricos, que hemos compartido públicamente por primera vez de esta manera, subraya nuestro compromiso de construir los vehículos más seguros del mundo. Los cuatro maniquíes, hombres y mujeres, cumplen con los límites biomecánicos en este choque extremadamente severo. Esto demuestra nuestra experiencia en seguridad de vehículos eléctricos." - Prof. Dr. Paul Dick, Jefe de Seguridad del Vehículo en Mercedes-Benz AG • El concepto especial de seguridad de alta tensión Mercedes-Benz tiene un sistema de ocho elementos clave para garantizar la seguridad de la batería y todos los componentes con un voltaje superior a 60 voltios. Incluyen cableado positivo y negativo separado y un sistema de alta tensión con autocontrol que se apaga automáticamente en caso de una colisión grave. En muchos casos, los altos estándares internos de seguridad de la empresa superan los requisitos legales o los de las organizaciones de protección al consumidor. ¿Cuántos choques hace Mercedes al año? • El Centro de Tecnología para la Seguridad del Vehículo como uno de los más modernos del mundo. Desde 2016, Mercedes-Benz ha estado realizando pruebas de choque en el nuevo Centro de Tecnología para la Seguridad del Vehículo propiedad del Grupo en Sindelfingen. Cuenta con tres pistas de choque altamente flexibles que conducen a una gran área sin soportes de más de 8.000 metros cuadrados. Su capacidad también es impresionante: solo en Sindelfingen, Mercedes-Benz realiza hasta 900 pruebas de choque y 1.700 pruebas de trineo cada año. 75 choques completos y 140 choques de trineo al mes.

Mercedes EQS, EQE et EQS SUV : Toujours de l'ombre des modèles à essence ?TORQ PODCAST - Épisode 060Jul et Eve partagent leurs impressions de leur essai routier de la Mercedes-Benz EQE 2023 et reviennent sur leurs essais précédents de la EQS et de l'EQS SUV.Torq MediaSite Web : https://torqmedia.ca Suivez-Nous sur Instagram :@JulTorq : https://www.instagram.com/jultorq/@EveTorq : https://www.instagram.com/evetorq/#MercedesBenz #MercedesBenzEQE #EQE

I can't get over the huge faux grill. Mercedes today revealed the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, an electric SUV built on its excellent EQS SUV. 

Motor1 editors Seyth Miersma, Brandon Turkus, Jeff Perez talk about the vehicles they've been driving this week. The disappointing Toyota bZ4X leads off, with test notes about the Lexus IS500, BMW Z4 (in purple!), and the Mercedes EQS SUV. 

Mercedes EQS SUV je auto veľké ako vesmírne teleso. Mesiac, napríklad. A aj toľko váži. Ale ten komfort! #mercedes #eqssuv #automobilovypodcast

Am Automag vun haut schwamme mer mam Trend: den Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV ass nämlech net nëmmen en XXL-SUV mee och nach reng elektresch ënnerwee. Den Akim Schmit aus eiser Automag-Ekipp huet sech fir e puer Deeg mam EQS SUV ugefrënnt.

Built on the same platform as its sedan sibling, the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV could be considered the default flagship vehicle for Mercedes, offering S-Class levels of luxury with the utility of a 3-row family hauler, wrapped in a fully electric package. But while trying to serve so many different buyers, does it end up not doing any job particularly well? We purchased a EQS450 4Matic EV for our test program, and share our first impression of its range, infotainment system, the usability of the third row, and how it compares to other EV SUVs like the Tesla Model X and BMW iX. We also discuss what happens to a car's telematics and infotainment systems when 3G and 4G service is shut down by wireless carriers.

#183 – Welche drei Teile des Exterieurdesigns haben der Typ W 460 und der Typ W 463 Mopf gemeinsam? – Eines der schwersten Autotelefon-Autorätsel der jüngeren Automobilgeschichte wird nur mit Mühe und unter Mithilfe des Rätselgebers gelöst. Wir freuen uns heute über einen ganz besonderen Gesprächsgast: Robert Lešnik, seines Zeichens Leiter des Exterieurdesigns bei Mercedes-Benz. Als wir ihn kürzlich in einer abgedunkelten Frankfurter Messehalle am EQS SUV getroffen hatten, sagte uns der Designer spontan eine Autotelefon-Episode zu. Mitten im Umbruch der Automobilindustrie haben wir natürlich viele Fragen an einen Meister seines Fachs: Welche neuen Freiräume fürs Design bieten elektrische Plattformen? Woran wird man auch künftig einen Mercedes erkennen? Was kommt nach "sinnlicher Klarheit"? // Autotelefon – Der Podcast über Autos. // Jetzt abonnieren!

Show #1453 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Monday 2nd May, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV SPY SHOTS: MID-SIZE ELECTRIC SUV SPIED - Mercedes-Benz's EQE SUV mid-size electric SUV has been spied again, and this time we have video. - It's one of a handful of vehicles designed around the dedicated electric vehicle platform known as EVA, which debuted in the 2022 EQS full-size hatchback. - It will be built at Mercedes' plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the EQS SUV is already in production. - The rear doors and trunk section don't stretch as long here, compared to the EQS SUV. The front overhang of the EQE SUV is also shorter, and its hood positioned not quite as high. - Expect the EQE SUV at launch to have a similar powertrain setup to the EQE sedan. This means the standard setup should feature a 90-kilowatt-hour battery and a single motor at the rear delivering 288 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. A more powerful setup with a motor also at the front axle for all-wheel drive should also be on offer, and you can count on all-wheel steering making the cut, possibly as a standard feature in the U.S. Original Source : https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1133845_2023-mercedes-benz-eqe-suv-spy-shots-video BIDEN ADMINISTRATION BEGINS $3 BILLION PLAN FOR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES - The Biden administration plans to begin a $3.1 billion effort on Monday to spur the domestic production of advanced batteries, which are essential to its plan to speed the adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy. - Currently, lithium, cobalt and other minerals needed for electric car batteries and energy storage are processed primarily in Asia. China alone controls nearly 80 percent of the world's processing and refining of those critical minerals. - Senator Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, a crucial vote for potential climate legislation in the evenly divided Senate, said last month that he had “grave concerns about moving toward an E.V.-only future” because China controls the minerals needed for car batteries. - The funding is aimed at companies that can create new, retrofitted or expanded processing facilities as well as battery recycling programs, officials with the Department of Energy said. The grants will be funded through the $1 trillion infrastructure law, which includes more than $7 billion to improve the domestic battery supply chain. - In April, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to give the government more avenues to provide support for the mining, processing and recycling of critical materials, such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and manganese. - Between electric vehicles and grid storage, the market for lithium-ion batteries in the United States is expected to increase by a factor of 20 to 30 in the next decade but a secure domestic supply chain is needed Original Source : https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/02/climate/biden-electric-car-batteries.html STELLANTIS PLANS $2.8 BILLION EV OVERHAUL OF CANADIAN FACTORIES - Stellantis will invest about $2.8 billion to overhaul two Canadian factories to build fully electric and hybrid vehicles, the company said on Monday, as part of its $35 billion global commitment to electrification and related initiatives - The revamp will allow the automaker to build such versions of several of its upcoming models using new “multi-energy” architectures. The company also will add a battery lab to its existing research and development facility in Windsor, Ontario, creating 650 new jobs. - Retooling of the company's Windsor assembly plant is expected to begin in 2023 - Stellantis didn't say which models the revamped factories will be building - Stellantis and Korean battery giant LG Energy Solution announced in March that they will together spend $4.1 billion to build a major EV battery factory in Windsor. That investment is expected to create 2,500 new jobs, the companies said at the time.

The company dispensed 41.4 gigawatt-hours of energy to power customer's electric vehicles in 2021. - Electrify America has 800 EV charging stations and about 3,500 individual chargers open or with construction completed. The largest, open ultra-fast DC charging network features up to 150 kilowatts (kW) and 350 kW chargers, some of the fastest speeds available today. - Electrify America expects to have more than 1,800 total charging stations with over 10,000 chargers in the United States and Canada by 2026.

All for a bunch of boring plug-in hybrids. - Bloomberg says that Toyota has sold nearly 200,000, the threshold for which afterward the federal tax credits will phase out, which is what has already happened to Tesla and GM. - Demand for Toyota's plug-in hybrid vehicles has steadily grown, especially as gasoline prices have surged past $4 a gallon, pushing up its cumulative sales of eligible vehicles to 183,000 as of the end of 2021, according to an analysis by BloombergNEF. The company reported sales of another 8,421 plug-in hybrid and electric cars in the first quarter. - “We're planning for it, because Tesla's out, and General Motors is out, and we'll be out probably in the second quarter,” Bob Carter, Toyota Motor North America's executive vice president of sales, said in a recent interview. “When you're out, you enter a step-down phase down, so we're planning for that.” - Bloomberg says that Nissan is about 34,000 Leafs away from crossing the threshold, while Ford is around 43,000 EVs away, though it seems likely that Ford will get there quicker than Nissan, given all the new EVs Ford is making.

However, the Korean companies – LG and SK – are already developing LFP battery cells and could soon announce their mass production… - Panasonic is still suffering for relying on producing almost exclusively cylindrical cells for a sole customer (Tesla) for such long time. - CATL is determined to stay on the top and will start mass producing sodium-ion batteries in 2023.

ELON MUSK DUMPS $8.5B IN TESLA STOCK AHEAD OF TWITTER BUY - Elon Musk has sold off a whopping $8.5 billion in Tesla stock this week as he prepares to acquire Twitter for $44 billion – but he insists that the rest of his stake in the electric car maker will remain untouched for now. - Securities filings revealed Friday that Musk sold 5.2 million Tesla shares via open-market transactions that occurred on Thursday. That brings the total to 9.6 million shares after earlier disclosures detailed earlier stock sales worth $4 billion on Tuesday and Wednesday. - The stock sales in total amounted to 5% of his stake in Tesla - Musk still owns nearly 16% of Tesla shares, according to FactSet data cited by the Wall Street Journal.

Four figures illustrate this transformation: Group sales of the top-end models increased by 30%, sales of electric passenger cars increased by 64%, sales of electric Vans 118% and adjusted EBIT of the Mercedes-Benz Group grew by 123%. - This year the company expects to make further progress toward its long-term strategic goal of CO2 neutrality. With the EQS SUV, EQE SUV, EQT and eCitan models more than 10 fully electric vehicles will have been presented by the end of 2022. Moreover, with the Ambition2039, Mercedes-Benz Cars has set itself the target of reaching an important milestone as early as 2030 on the road to CO2 neutrality: to halve CO2 emissions compared with 2020 levels. Here, the most important levers are electrifying the vehicle fleet, charging with green power, improving battery technology and by extensively using recycled materials and renewable energy in production sites. Potential CO2 emissions are also evaluated as a criterion when contracts are awarded to potential suppliers. - Mercedes-Benz plans to cover more than 70% of its energy requirements in production with renewable energy sources by 2030.

The manufacturer began replacing the battery packs of all affected vehicles from the 2017 through 2022 model years, and it looks like it's prioritizing older cars first. - Chevrolet has already replaced the battery pack in 62 percent of affected Bolts built under the 2017 through 2019 model years. Chevy says that last quarter it changed 26,952 battery packs. - Another document issued for 2021 through 2022 model year affected Chevy Bolts shows that these newer cars haven't received new batteries yet - just 701 swaps were performed out of a total 52,414 pool of affected vehicles. - Owners of Bolt EVs equipped with the new battery are also reporting a range increase with the fresh pack. When our own Tom Moloughney took part in a range test of a Bolt with a newly replaced battery, he found that post swap it was able to travel for around 13.5 percent longer than before.

Lockdowns in China have worsened the visibility of semiconductors and the logistics have become the next challenge for Tata Motors given the lack of availability of containers, he said. - The impact of the chip shortage is more “acute” in electric vehicles than gasoline models, Chandra said. The waiting period for electric vehicles at Tata Motors could be as much as six months, compared with four months for cars with internal combustion engines, he said. - Tata's foray into semiconductor making will also help its group firm, Tata Motors, which makes the iconic Jaguar Land Rover brands and has suffered due to these shortages. - also announced plans to launch its first-ever pure electric car by 2025. The five-seater Avinya will have no gasoline variants, Chandra told reporters in a briefing on Friday. - Tata Motors currently sells two battery-powered models, the Nexon EV and Tigor EV, but these cars also have variants that run on fossil fuels.

In dieser Episode haben wir einen alten Smart-Hasen zu Gast: Viele von Euch haben womöglich schon mal von Moritz gehört oder gelesen, der seit vielen Jahren das Projekt EQpassion betreut und in Sachen Elektro-Smart eine echte Instanz ist. Wir unterhalten uns über den neuen Smart #1, der ja - wie man schon auf den ersten Blick erkennen kann - kein Smart wie jeder andere ist. Aber was ist er eigentlich dann?

Show #1441 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Wednesday 20th April, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. KIA REVEALS NIRO PRICING AS ‘ELECTRIC EXPERIENCE' DEALERSHIP TOUR GETS UNDERWAY - Kia has revealed the pricing of its electrified Niro crossover range as it unites its zero-emissions models at an ‘Electric Experience' dealership event touring the UK. - The EV starts from £34,995 for the ‘2', £37,745 for the mid-range ‘3' grade, and £40,495 for the top-spec ‘4' model. - Kia president and chief executive Paul Philpott recently told AM that the UK's full 2022 quota of EV6 crossovers had been sold already. - Customers can now pre-order their all-new Niro from today with the first UK customer deliveries expected to commence in early Q3. - Niro EV ‘2' buyers will see their car additionally pair an 8.0-inch touchscreen display with 10.25-inch instrument cluster, and also feature 17-inch alloy wheels, 11kW on-board charger, and a battery heating system. - the ‘4' grade feature a head-up display, twin 10.25-inch touchscreen and instrument cluster displays, heated rear seats and ventilated front seats, a power operated tailgate, electric sunroof, an uprated Harman Kardon premium sound system, driver's side memory seating, and front passenger lumbar support. The new Niro EV's 64.8 kWh lithium-ion polymer battery pack and a 204PS electric motor claims a 287-mile range and the ability to accelerate to 62mph in 7.8 seconds. Original Source : https://www.am-online.com/news/manufacturer/2022/04/20/kia-reveals-niro-pricing-as-electric-experience-dealership-tour-gets-underway BMW I7 ELECTRIC CAR REVEALED - the 7 Series is the brand's showpiece for luxury and technology. The i7 is the electric version of a new generation of the BMW 7 Series flagship unveiled on Wednesday. - With a starting price of $119,300, the all-wheel-drive 536 horsepower i7 xDrive60 will be able to go 300 miles on a full charge, which is less than the competing Mercedes EQS or Lucid Air. - While those other luxury brands' electric vehicles are based on dedicated EV chassis with little relationship to their gas-powered models, BMW emphasizes adaptable engineering as its edge. - BMW has engineered all its new models so they can be built with internal combustion engines, fully electric power or as plug-in hybrids that combine both electric and gas power. BMW executives insist this is not just a matter of fitting batteries and electric motors into cars that were intended to have gas engines. Instead, these vehicles have been designed, from the outset, to be built with any of these drive systems. - BMW chairman Oliver Zipse said, is that customers needn't choose between two completely different models when deciding whether they want an electric or gas-powered car. They can just decide they want to buy a BMW 7 Series, then choose whether they want the gasoline or electric version, - The downside of a common engineering platform is that, to enable both electric and gasoline power, designers need compromises. - BMW 7 Series buyers can get an optional 31-inch high-resolution video screen that folds down from the roof to provide entertainment for back seat passengers. - The 7 Series can automatically drive itself into and out of parking spaces even with the driver outside the vehicle using a smartphone app. It can also drive itself through a pre-programmed course, such as around pylons in a parking garage, on its own, a feature somewhat similar to Tesla's Summon mode - A sophisticated "head up display" which displays data in the car's windscreen can align images and text so they appear as if laid over roads and other features in the real world. Original Source : https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/20/business/bmw-i7/index.html 2022 BMW I7 ELECTRIC CAR REVEALED: PRICE, SPECS AND RELEASE DATE - Arriving first in xDrive60 form, the new i7 will be powered by front and rear-mounted electric motors that together produce 537bhp and 549lb ft of torque, propelling the car to 62mph in just 4.7 sec. Power is drawn from a 101.7kWh battery, giving the i7 an official range of up to 388 miles. That's significantly more than the figure for the Audi e-tron GT (298 miles), but less than the Mercedes EQS 450+ can officially do (an impressive 453 miles). - The i7 will have a maximum charging speed of up to 195kW from a DC charger, and if you can find a suitably powerful charging point, approximately 100 miles of range can be added in just 10 minutes - In the back seats, passengers will be just as well looked after as those in the front, because all models will be long-wheelbase variants, so legroom in the back should be plentiful. What's also plentiful in the back is technology: each rear passenger will have a 5.5in touchscreen to operate the audio system, seat adjustment settings, climate controls, and ambient lighting. Original Source : https://www.whatcar.com/news/2022-bmw-i7-electric-car-revealed-price-specs-and-release-date/n23842 2023 BMW 7 SERIES AND I7 EV REVEALED: YOU CHOOSE BIG V8 OR BATTERY POWER - Every 2023 7 Series gets a standard four-corner air suspension system with automatic self-leveling and electronically controlled dampers. The adaptive suspension lowers the 7 Series by 0.4 inches in Sport mode or raises it up to 0.8 inches for rough roads and small obstacles. Furthermore, the i7 automatically lowers a bit above 75 mph for aerodynamics. And with the addition of integral adaptive steering, which gives the car more precision at higher speeds, the 7 Series has rear-wheel steering at a rate of up to 3.5 degrees. - Front and center is the new Curved Display, which is a single continuous piece of glass that houses two plus-sized screens: a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster behind the steering wheel and a 14.9-inch central touchscreen. And a new Interaction Bar, exclusive to the 7, features a crystalline surface with touch-capacitive controls for things like ventilation and climate control functions. Original Source : https://www.motor1.com/news/580864/2023-bmw-7-series-i7-debut/ 2023 MERCEDES-BENZ EQS SUV: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW - Mercedes-Benz's first all-electric, U.S.-bound SUV, the 2023 EQS SUV, was revealed in a press release Tuesday. Hot on the heels of the EQS sedan, the SUV gets the same egg-like styling as the electric S-Class, along with a similar 107.8 kWh battery setup and dual-motor drivetrain. Opt for the most expensive EQS 580 4Matic, and you're looking at 536 hp and 633 lb-ft of torque going to all four wheels. - Mercedes will sell two different EQS SUV trims: the EQS 450+ and the EQS 580 4Matic. Both get the same 107.8-kWh battery in the floor, but the 450+ gets a single motor for the rear wheels, while the 580 gets two motors; one at the front and one at the back. So if you want all-wheel drive, you'll need to step up to the 580. - And because rear axle steering up to 10 degrees is standard, expect some proper agility from the all-electric Benz. - The EQS SUV will be built at Mercedes's Tuscaloosa, Alabama factory thanks to a new battery systems plant in nearby Bibb County. Deliveries are set to begin in late 2022, though the company has yet to release pricing. Considering this is essentially a direct competitor to the Model X and the iX, expect a starting price in the low $100,000 range.

#181 – Welches Auto, das 2017 auf der IAA gezeigt wurde, es nie zur Serienreife geschafft hat, kommt aus China und trägt einen deutschen Namen? – Wir bitten die kurzen Verbindungsprobleme (01:15 bis 01:40) zu entschuldigen und schieben dem italienischen Mobilfunknetzbetreiber elegant die Schuld in die Schuhe. Ansonsten beschäfigen uns heute primär große Modelle deutscher Herkunft: das frisch enthüllte Audi urbansphere concept (5,51 m) und das neue EQS SUV (5,13 m) von Mercedes-Benz. // Autotelefon – Der Podcast über Autos. // Jetzt abonnieren!

EQS SUV er lansert. Navnet er teit, men dette er kanskje bilen alle nordmenn hadde kjøpt om de var millinærerer. For Håkon og Marius tror de vet hva prisen blir.Marius har også vært i frankrike og sett på gamle gateparkerte biler og gjort seg tanker om alt nordmenn gjør galt.Videre diskuteres det om "norgesvenn" BMW i4 M50 er en fantastisk gave eller en gedigen skuffelse? En kjent bil-personlighet mener det siste. Og selvfølgelig blir det Funn på Finn og noen refleksjoner over leiebilens fortreffeligheter. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Show #1439 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Monday 18th April, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. BMW BELIEVES TESLA HAS LOST ITS UNIQUE SELLING POINT - With 936,172 cars delivered in 2021 and 310,048 units only in the first quarter of 2022, it's safe to say Tesla is doing better than ever. However, BMW Group sales chief Pieter Nota believes Elon Musk's company has lost its USP - “Tesla had a unique selling point for quite some time. That's over.” - Later this week, the i7 will receive its world premiere as a response to the Mercedes EQS and Model S. The end of 2022 will bring us the iX1 to serve as the EV equivalent of the next X1 compact crossover. Come 2023, the smaller i5 will follow as an electric variant of the next-generation 5 Series Sedan. The greater BMW Group is going to roll out the MINI Countryman EV and Rolls-Royce Spectre next year. - For the time being, the i4 and iX are the commercial hits for the Bavarians. We mustn't omit the iX3, but the company has decided against bringing it to the United States. - Indeed, Nota mentioned dealers have hundreds of orders for the two and the waiting time has increased to six months. - The automotive conglomerate will kick its electric efforts into higher gear in 2025 with the launch of Neue Klasse, a dedicated EV platform. Original Source : https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/04/18/bmw-believes-tesla-lost-unique-selling-point/ MERCEDES EQS SUV VIDEO TOUR - Building upon the success of the EQS and the launch of the EQE, Mercedes has another electric vehicle on the way to the United States. This time it's more in line with what the US wants: an SUV. - EQS SUV is to the sedan EQS what the GLS is to the regular S-Class — an upright take on its ultra high-end model. It was unveiled recently in Germany - In addition to having room for seven, the electric SUV has an off-road mode and special running boards that help reduce drag. - While Mercedes is mum on pricing and range details for the US, we do know that its European range will be "up to 600 kilometers" based on the WLTP standard, which should make the range top out at a shade over 300 miles in the US' more stringent EPA ratings.

PANASONIC PLANNING ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY PLANT IN U.S. - Japan's Panasonic Corp. is looking to purchase land in the United States for a massive factory to make a new type of electric vehicle battery for Tesla, public broadcaster NHK reported on Friday. - Panasonic is looking at building the several billion dollar factory in either Oklahoma or Kansas for their proximity to Texas, where Tesla is preparing a new EV plant, NHK reported. NHK gave no timeline for Panasonic's U.S. project. - A long-time Tesla supplier, Panasonic has already announced plans to begin mass-producing the new type of lithium-ion battery for Tesla before the end of March, 2024 with two new production lines at its western Japanese plant in Wakayama. Original Source : https://www.autonews.com/automakers-suppliers/panasonic-planning-electric-vehicle-battery-plant-us KIA AIMS TO SELL 1.2 MILLION EVS IN 2030 - Following in Hyundai's footsteps, Kia has now also presented its strategic roadmap for accelerating its electrification ambitions by 2030. To achieve the sales target, at least two new electric models are to be introduced each year. - Kia assumes – based on 160,000 BEV sales this year – that it will already sell 807,000 BEVs in 2026 and then 1.2 million battery-electric cars in 2030. - With the 1.87 million electric cars Hyundai is targeting, according to its strategy update unveiled the day before, Hyundai-Kia would have sales of more than three million electric cars in 2030. - While Hyundai has announced further development of its current EV platform E-GMP for 2025, Kia does not mention this Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA). Hyundai plans to rely not only on standardized e-motors and chassis designs, but also on batteries with cell-to-pack technology from CATL, which does not require modules. In its announcement, Kia refers to everything from the upcoming EV9 – the large E-SUV is still based on the current E-GMP. - Kia announces production of “small and mid-sized electric vehicles” in Europe starting in 2025 – this will likely be located at the Zilina plant in Slovakia Original Source : https://www.electrive.com/2022/03/03/kia-aims-to-sell-1-2-million-bevs-in-2030/ KIA AUTOMODE TO LAUNCH IN 2023, COMING TO EV9 SUV FIRST - Korean car manufacturer Kia is to launch an autonomous driving mode for select vehicles from 2023 on. - AutoMode uses a range of proprietary autonomous driving technologies, which include Highway Driving Pilot to enable driver-less travel on motorways and highways.It will feature first in next year's Kia EV9 SUV and, by 2026, will be available in all new models launched in major markets. - AutoMode will receive regular over-the-air updates as new features are developed. Kia will also enhance and improve the system with the goal of eventually offering fully autonomous technology.

But unlike the E-GMP, which has different battery systems for each vehicle it supports, the IMA will have a standardized battery. The motors (of which there will be five types) and key chassis components will also be standardized, all helping to improve production efficiencies. - the platform will suit all segments and will be used for both passenger vehicles and purpose-built vehicles, such as delivery vehicles and shuttles for self-driving taxi services. - From 2025, Genesis will only launch EVs. - the redesigned Genesis G90 will offer a self-driving capability at Level 3 on the SAE scale in some markets by the second half of 2022 Original Source : https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1135204_hyundai-brands-to-use-new-ev-platform-with-standardized-batteries-and-motors MERCEDES EQS SUV SPIED UP CLOSE TESTING IN CALIFORNIA - The EQS is currently the most technologically advanced EV from the Stuttgart-based firm and it will soon morph into a high-riding EQS SUV. We've seen it testing on a number of occasions and a new video shows us a prototype on a parking lot in South California. - This new sighting of the model doesn't give us a look under the camouflage, though we get a very quick look inside the cabin. For now, everything remains heavily camouflaged - The EQS will join the already existing EQA, EQB, and EQC, all built on modified platforms for combustion cars. The range-topping EV SUV will be assembled in the United States at the Tuscaloosa plant from 2022 along with the smaller EQE SUV. - The only piece of confirmed information available so far is that Mercedes estimates the range between charges will be up to 373 miles (600 kilometers), depending on the configuration.

This involves turning the Group's largest engineering unit with 11,500 employees into a pace-setter for the Volkswagen brand's transformation into a technology company. - The main emphasis is on a complete redesign of the development process, making it interdisciplinary, focused squarely on software, customer requirements and SSP, Volkswagen's electric platform of the future, and centered on functions rather than individual components. - This is expected to cut development time by about a quarter, increase the speed of new software releases and also significantly accelerate manufacturing processes in production. - In the 1990s, vehicle development centered primarily on components. As functions and electronics were added in the early 2000s, connectivity began to play an increasingly important role. Now and in the future, the vehicle must be viewed as one system in the customer's entire ecosystem and communicate seamlessly with all systems outside the vehicle. - vehicle projects will be completed in 40 months instead of 54 months as before Original Source : http://www.automobilsport.com/cars-tuning--37/cars-tuning--37,234746,Volkswagen-realigns-Technical-Development-shorter-product-cycles-and-faster-digital-offerings,news.htm AUDI REVEALS UPDATED Q4 E-TRON EV WITH FASTER CHARGING AND UPDATED INTERIOR   Original Source : https://www.aol.co.uk/motoring/audi-reveals-updated-q4-e-132743050.html 2022 FIAT E-ULYSSE DEBUTS AS AN ELECTRIC MINIVAN FOR EUROPE Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/571006/fiat-e-ulysse-electric-mpv/ GLOBAL BATTERY DEMAND TO INCREASE 15-FOLD AS EV BOOM TAKES OFF Original Source : https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Global-Battery-Demand-To-Increase-15-Fold-As-EV-Boom-Takes-Off.html TESLA FEARS HAVING TO SHUT DOWN SERVICE CENTERS IN OKLAHOMA AS NEW BILL PASSES COMMITTEE Original Source : https://electrek.co/2022/03/03/tesla-fears-having-to-shut-down-service-centers-oklahoma-new-bill-passes-committee TESLA ROADSTER MAKES HISTORY WITH $250K SALE Original Source : https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/02/25884348/tesla-roadster-makes-history-with-250k-sale-heres-the-worlds-most-expensive-tesla THE ARC ONE IS AN ELECTRIC BOAT WITH A BATTERY PACK THREE TIMES THE SIZE OF TESLA'S Original Source : https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/3/22958830/arc-electric-boat-pre-proudction-photo-video-battery BYD SELLS 88,283 NEVS IN FEB, UP 752.6% YEAR-ON-YEAR   Original Source : https://cnevpost.com/2022/03/03/byd-sells-88283-nevs-in-feb-up-752-6-year-on-year QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What's the best looking EV on the market right now?

TESLA STARTS DELIVERING REFRESHED MODEL X TO CUSTOMERS "Tesla delivered its redesigned Tesla Model S interior in early 2021, and now Model X buyers are finally getting their turn. Electrek and TMC forum member Sunnyvaletree report that Tesla has started delivering the revised Model X to customers, holding at least one event to mark the occasion." reports engadget: "As you might guess, this effectively drags the electric crossover into the modern era with a landscape touchscreen display up front, a smaller display in the back and overall interior quality improvements that are more befitting a nearly $94,000 vehicle. Order a Model X Plaid as of this writing and you'll have to wait until July 2022; spring for the lower-cost Long Range variant and you'll wait until September 2022. It could be a long, long while before you can simply buy the current Model X design and expect to receive it in a timely fashion."

Today, the Croatian is the founder and chief executive of Rimac Automobili, a producer of electric hypercars and electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains sold to some of the world's most prestigious carmakers. He is also about to become the CEO of Bugatti, at the age of 33." says Wired: "Once the takeover of Bugatti is complete, Rimac Automobili will share ownership of the historic French brand in a 55/45 split with Porsche. Mate will become CEO of the newly formed Bugatti Rimac.  Despite taking on such a healthy brand, Rimac wants to shake things up “by developing cars that are very different.” As well as a hybrid successor to the mighty Chiron, Rimac has plans to expand Bugatti's vehicle lineup for the first time in generations." Mate says: "I picture it in a way that we have the campus built, that we ship cars every week to customers all around the world, are a leader in high-performance cars, and have truck-loads of batteries and powertrains going to OEMs every day. That's when I see ‘chapter one' closed.”" Read more: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mate-rimac-bugatti POST-BREXIT BOOST: FORD PICKS UK FACTORY OVER GERMANY FOR £200M ELECTRIC CAR INVESTMENT "Ford will boost Britain's automative industry by making electric car components at its factory in Halewood. The car company selected the Merseyside site over one of its plants in Germany for a £200m investment into its e-Drive transmission systems. The systems control power from batteries used to run a vehicle's wheels." reports City AM: "The deal secures the future of the 500 staff members working at the site. They currently make transmissions for petrol Ford vehicles including the Fiesta and Focus, which are then exported to manufacturing plants in Europe."

Executives including Young Liu, chairman of Foxconn's flagship unit Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., unveiled the vehicles at the company's Technology Day event in Taipei. Taiwan's Yulon Motor Co. will be Foxconn's first electric-car customer, Lilian Chen, Yulon's chairwoman, said at the Taipei event. Yulon's electric sedan built by Foxconn is set to retail for less than NT$1 million ($35,700,) Liu said" Reuters said: " Autos could ring in roughly $35 billion in sales for Foxconn in five years, executives boldly predicted, and the company has already set a lofty target of supplying components or services to 10% of the world's battery-powered vehicles by 2027. Yesterday's new models, including an electric bus, are expected to hit the market in Taiwan as early as 2022. The aim is to be able to service auto customers and partners, which already include U.S.-based Fisker (FSR.N) and China's Geely, closer to their end users. Foxconn still has a long way to go, but it's a promising start so far."

The plant will have an annual production capacity of 40 gigawatt hours with the goal of starting production by the first quarter of 2024." The report adds: "In Europe, Stellantis has partnered with French oil and gas company TotalEnergies SE and Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz for its Automotive Cells Co. joint venture. A total of three battery plants are planned in France by 2023, Germany by 2025 and Italy by 2030. Altogether, they represent 120 gigawatt hours in annual capacity." CNBC points out: “The batteries produced at the new facility will be supplied to Stellantis' electric vehicle plants in the United States, Canada and Mexico, to support Stellantis' goal of having more than 40% of its U.S. sales consist of e-vehicles by 2030.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注了解汽车圈新闻的人都知道，最近几天的重头戏就是德国的慕尼黑车展了，从9月7日开始，一直到9月12日结束，我知道，都怪我通知大家晚了一些，不然就都买机票去看了。有些朋友可能第一次听说慕尼黑车展，以为这是欧洲的一个新的车展，因为全球五大车展分别为：德国法兰克福车展，北美国际车展、瑞士日内瓦车展、法国巴黎车展和日本东京车展。而实际上，这次的德国慕尼黑车展，就是法兰克福车展的升级版，从今往后法兰克福车展就正式搬到慕尼黑举办了，而法兰克福车展，也只是车迷之间约定俗成的一个叫法，人家官方叫IAA，是德文的缩写，意思是国际汽车展览会，IAA本身就没有任何地域显示。其实，咱们国内也可以学一下，北京车展、上海车展、成都车展、广州车展……地域性都太明显了，应该区分出一些特色出来。IAA如果追溯到源头，那应该叫柏林车展，因为早在1879年，IAA第一届车展就在柏林举办了，当时只有8辆车，这是世界上最早举办的国际车展，直到1951年，举办地才更换到了法兰克福，渐渐地就成了欧洲最大规模的车展，最后，做成了全球五大车展，有世界汽车工业“奥运会”之称。在1989年第53界IAA法兰克福车展之后，乘用车与商用车就被拆分成两部分，乘用车在奇数年展出，商用车在偶数年展出，欧洲是一年换一个类型，咱们这里是一年换一个地方，奇数年上海车展，偶数年北京车展。其实从柏林到法兰克福再到慕尼黑，IAA的变迁也折射出了德国汽车工业，乃至全球汽车工业这些年的变化，柏林车展代表着欧洲汽车工业的起源，法兰克福车展是欧洲汽车工业的巅峰时期，现在的慕尼黑车展，展现的是欧洲汽车工业的转型。实际上，在今年1月份，大家就知道法兰克福车展不会再继续，大家都猜测接棒的城市很可能是柏林、汉堡和慕尼黑三个城市中的一个，而为什么最终选择慕尼黑，归根到底是因为慕尼黑多年来发展智能城市、智能交通和车联网，非常适合IAA转型的需要，我之前说过，宝马位于慕尼黑的总部大楼，都改造成了电池的形状。法兰克福车展做不下去，有很多原因，其中最关键的一点是欧洲环保组织的阻挠和参展人数的减少，大家应该还记得大众排放门事件吧，这件事咱们也只是看看新闻，骂两句大众不厚道而已，但是欧洲的环保组织是真的去抗议，大众损失的不仅是钱，还有之前辛苦树立起来的高大上人设瞬间崩塌。所以，法兰克福代表着老牌传统车企的形象已经落幕了，IAA当然要寻找一个新的城市来续命了，改到慕尼黑之后，车展的内容也不仅仅是纯汽车展会，还会有电动自行车、电动滑板车、电动摩托车以及充电系统、公共交通等等的展示，在全球都在谈论碳中和和碳达峰的背景下，全球的确也需要这样的车展出现。我在2014年有幸去过一次慕尼黑，当时的慕尼黑机场还是奥迪冠名的，奥迪总部 英戈尔施塔特也在慕尼黑附近。我印象最深的是，有一天晚上，我在著名的HB啤酒屋与一个当地人聊天的时候，他反复跟我们强调慕尼黑不能代表德国，一定要多去其他城市看看，后来我才知道，德国的慕尼黑就像我们中国的北上广一样，是德国各个城市的年轻人来创业打拼的地方，所以大家也可以理解为，德国IAA车展从柏林搬到法兰克福，再搬到慕尼黑，就有点像北京车展改成了上海车展，又改成了广州车展。其实，慕尼黑车展的历史要聊下去，都可以开个系列了，比如为什么以前的法兰克福车展没有中国车，可是去年全球有22家车企缺席法兰克福车展，但是中国车企去了几十家……咱们有机会再聊。今天，重点还是聊一聊这次车展上的热点车型，虽然一时半会儿咱也买不到，但这都是车企未来几年的大方向，不要以为你现在看到的新款就是真正的新款，按照现在新车的更新速度，可能1年不到新款就变老款了。既然在德国慕尼黑举办车展，东道主奔驰肯定是要尽地主之谊，秀一下自己的肌肉的，而这次慕尼黑车展最大的看点，也正是奔驰展台，一下子秀出了五款电动车，分别是：EQE、EQG、AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+、迈巴赫EQS SUV和纯电MPV EQT。像这种国际型车展，都不是我们常规理解的那种卖车的车展，人家不会拉一群销售站在台上，跟你谈个领导特批的价格，这种车展，都是用来展示未来几年自己的产品方向，让全球媒体去宣传报道，打知名度和品牌美誉度去的，所以，奔驰这次重点展出的五款纯电动车型，大概率都是后期要量产的版本。首先是EQE。大家知道奔驰之前已经发布了EQC和EQS两款车，EQC可以理解为GLC的电动版，EQS可以理解为奔驰S级的电动版，那么EQE自然可以理解为奔驰E级的电动版。这台车虽然这次在慕尼黑车展首次亮相，但之前就传言明年就在咱们国内量产，大家惊不惊喜意不意外？目前全球电动车消费市场最具潜力的国家，还是咱们中国，奔驰当然不能放过赚钱的好机会。虽然，前面我都是用燃油车来类比EQ系列三款车的级别，但是这三款车都是在纯电架构下打造的，不是简单油改电车型，EQE是奔驰EVA2.0平台下诞生的第二款车，第一款是上海车展咱们看到的EQS，EQS在国内还没上市，德国本土定价约合人民币80-103万元，可想而知，比EQS低一级的EQE，大概率也不便宜，应该在40-60万元的区间。奔驰EQE的车长4934mm，轴距3122mm，这台车的大小基本与进口奔驰E差不多，但是轴距比国产加长E级还要多43mm，这就是没有发动机和变速箱的好处，内部空间可以更优化。这台车最大的看点跟之前展示的EQS一样，就是中控台那块夸张的56英寸整体弧面屏，由12.3英寸数字仪表盘、17.7英寸中央触摸屏和12.3英寸副驾驶娱乐屏组成，科技感肯定是有了，再加上奔驰一贯的豪华装修风格，基本上时髦的年轻人看到这套内饰大概率是招架不住的。目前得到的消息，EQE 350版本是单电机+后轮驱动，最大功率288马力，峰值扭矩530牛米，搭载90.6千瓦时电池包，WLTP续航660公里，可以选装双电机全驱，续航会有所缩减。虽然，国外媒体说这台车对标Model S，但是我觉得那都是被充值了，这车充其量跟咱们国内的蔚来ET7掰掰手腕，到时候就看谁的配置更高，送的服务更多，谁更有诚意了，奔驰如果还是那么傲娇的卖电动车，估计多数没戏，如果能把服务做好，我觉得奔驰在40-60万区间的电动车市场还是很有竞争力的。这次车展比EQE更吸引人眼球的，是奔驰EQG。按照EQ系列命名规则，大家也应该猜到了，这相当于是奔驰大G的电动版，封闭式进气格栅，中间的奔驰大LOGO晚上还能发光，外形保留了大G的经典元素，后面背的小书包从燃油车的备胎，换成了电动车的充电线，内饰基本上与现款大G也没啥区别。你说，这样一台纯电的大G得卖多少钱？最便宜的G350都要卖到140多万，我觉得这台车怎么着也得120万起步吧……大家可以猜一下，到时候进入中国市场，是否还要加价几十万？我唯一担心的是，他非承载式车身，再加上一块108.9kWh的大电池包，这么重的车身电耗会高达多少？另外，纯电的大G，三把锁的问题如何解决，不能光凹造型啊，越野性能无敌也是它卖的贵的原因，甭管土豪车主用不用，你得有，而且得很牛才行，所以这车一时半会儿还上不了市，据说最快也得2025年。这次慕尼黑车展，奔驰还亮相了AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+，咱们国内EQS还没上市了，现在AMG版本又来了。但是，大家都知道奔驰AMG被吹爆的原因，就是一人一机的传统，还有AMG团队针对整车的性能强化，只不过最近这两年，AMG成了皮肤和BUFF，贴在普通量产车上，拉高一个档次溢价来卖。这台电动的AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+，也算是让咱们提前看到了，奔驰今后的AMG版电动车到底是啥样，其实也就是外观加了AMG套件，可是电动车你又不能给它强加个四出排气，那太假了吧，只能换上高性能刹车和AMG轮毂。内饰倒是可以做做文章，AMG风格界面的仪表、平底AMG方向盘、AMG运动踏板、大面积的碳纤维和Alcantara材质，加上红色点缀，还有座椅上的AMG标识，就这么多。这台车前后双电机，最大功率484千瓦，峰值扭矩950牛米，如果你愿意再加钱上AMG DYNAMIC PLUS套件的话，最功率提升到560千瓦，峰值扭矩1020牛米，百公里加速能从3.8秒，提升到3.4秒。对一台电动车来说，这点提升意义大吗，我觉得不大，因为电动车的加速、扭矩都是瞬间释放的，跟燃油车不是一个感觉，倒是续航可以关注一下，107.8千瓦时的电池组，WLTP综合续航526-580km。连AMG都电动化了，那迈巴赫还会远吗？这次慕尼黑车展，奔驰干脆又亮相了一台迈巴赫EQS SUV。我第一眼看到这车的造型，震惊了，不是说它设计的有多夸张，而是脑海里立刻浮现出咱们的一款国产车红旗E-HS9，红旗H9和红旗E-HS9都是咱们中国设计师丁杨峰的原创设计，这哥们还获得了“2021中国车年度设计师”称号，不过这台迈巴赫EQS SUV还是概念车阶段，我估计厂家如果看到大量网友在吐槽它像咱们国产红旗E-HS9之后，大概率会更改前脸的设计。这台车2022年即将量产，WLTP续航里程600km，有很多媒体说这台车会是纯电动SUV的天花板，我觉得言过其词了，他的价格可能是天花板，但是无论豪华感还是科技感，这车绝对不可能是天花板，因为燃油版迈巴赫的畅销，就是因为内饰的过度装修，让土豪觉得豪华之上还有奢华。但是，电动车讲究环保，内饰大量真皮和实木材质，绝对是反潮流的做法，而无论你用什么科技环保材料来营造这台车的内饰，迈巴赫的那种奢华的内饰氛围，你都营造不出来，因为要奢华，你就得不计成本的浪费稀有资源，虽然从环保角度看我们绝不提倡，但是从市场角度看，这就是吸引有钱人的唯一理由。所以，我一点也不看好迈巴赫EQS SUV，甚至我觉得奔驰把迈巴赫放到EQ纯电系列里，就是完全错误的方向，迈巴赫就是用来拉升奔驰调性用的，奥迪和宝马都没有能敌得过迈巴赫系列的车型，这种必杀技绝对不能乱用，一旦奔驰迈巴赫系列走下神坛，奔驰全系车型的调性就都会受到影响。最后，是一款奔驰EQT纯电MPV。前脸还是EQ家族的设计语言，但是整车造型类似奔驰V级，大小比V级略小一些。内饰就比较传统了，如果光看图片，大家还以为就是台燃油车呢。需要注意的是，这台车用的是雷诺CMF-B平台，是由奔驰与雷诺、日产和三菱合作开发而来的。看到这里，估计不少人已经没兴趣了，实际上，看到后面的一组数据，大家更是要劝退。这台车搭载75kW单电机，配备45千瓦时的电池组，综合续航265km，据说这款车今后可能会分两个系列，一个是面向商业的Citan车型，一个是面向家用的T-Class，如果真是这个续航，我劝奔驰就别引入国内销售了，我买7台宏光MINI EV，组个车队自驾游都比你这香啊。说到这儿，就不得不提这次慕尼黑车展参展的中国品牌。其实今年中国品牌出国参展，困难比往年大的多，因为疫情的关系，跨境布展，无论是人员还是物料的成本都要高的多，可以说，这次去参展的中国品牌，都是未来几年想在欧洲市场搞点大动作的车企。首先是长城汽车，在慕尼黑车展发布了Coffe01，其实就是摩卡的PHEV版本，而且年底就在德国开启预售，2002年开始首批交付，并且慕尼黑会开欧洲首个体验中心，未来1年内会完成60个服务站点的建设。同时，长城还带去了一台Coffe02，其实就是咱们国内还没上市的拿铁，然后长城欧拉还带去了好猫、好猫GT、樱桃猫以及闪电猫等等产品，欧拉猫咪系列大家应该很熟悉，在这台车的设计风格上能找到保时捷和大众甲壳虫的影子。所以，当初大众还讽刺过长城欧拉，这次直接把车停在德国大众家门口，不知道大众高管看到之后，心里是种什么滋味。很遗憾，这次慕尼黑车展真正带实车参展的就长城一家，还有小鹏和零跑这些都是虚拟参展，就是看看大屏幕，安排一个人讲解讲解。华为也参展了，但是没有车，只是展示智能解决方案，以及自家的鸿蒙OS系统，毕竟欧洲是华为的主要消费市场之一，欧洲老百姓对华为也很熟悉。实际上，这次慕尼黑车展有台车，也算半个中国产——全新的smart精灵#1概念车。这台车是由中国和德国共同开发，并基于吉利浩瀚SEA架构打造，其中设计部分由德国奔驰完成，工程研发由吉利团队完成，并且，这台车已经确定由吉利来进行生产。不仅如此，smart品牌全球合资公司总部设在宁波杭州湾新区，同时在中国和德国分别设立营销中心。大家也不用奇怪，因为当年李书福花了90亿美元收购了戴姆勒9.7%的股份，虽然没有控股，但也是说一不二的大股东，如今两家公司有点深入合作，也是正常情况。关于更多慕尼黑车展的相关信息，大家在各大汽车门户网站都可以看到更多信息，宝马、奥迪和大众的一些全新电动车产品，也非常有趣。如果到今天，大家还是不相信电动或者混动车是未来的大趋势，还是不愿意接受和拥抱智能交通的改变，我建议看看这次慕尼黑车展全球各大车企的态度转变，就像当年我们从按传统手机转到智能机的时候，我也曾质疑过周围人，每天低头对着手里的屏幕划来划去，像个傻子似的。我也曾质疑，这种一天就要充一次电的破手机，会有人买吗？我也曾担心过，这种一摔就坏的屏幕，会不会修的钱都能再买个新的了？可现如今，这些都不是问题，因为手机不再是手机，他可以替代很多产品，新能源汽车当然也不仅仅是燃料的变化，未来它对我们的改变，将远超我们的想象。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注了解汽车圈新闻的人都知道，最近几天的重头戏就是德国的慕尼黑车展了，从9月7日开始，一直到9月12日结束，我知道，都怪我通知大家晚了一些，不然就都买机票去看了。有些朋友可能第一次听说慕尼黑车展，以为这是欧洲的一个新的车展，因为全球五大车展分别为：德国法兰克福车展，北美国际车展、瑞士日内瓦车展、法国巴黎车展和日本东京车展。而实际上，这次的德国慕尼黑车展，就是法兰克福车展的升级版，从今往后法兰克福车展就正式搬到慕尼黑举办了，而法兰克福车展，也只是车迷之间约定俗成的一个叫法，人家官方叫IAA，是德文的缩写，意思是国际汽车展览会，IAA本身就没有任何地域显示。其实，咱们国内也可以学一下，北京车展、上海车展、成都车展、广州车展……地域性都太明显了，应该区分出一些特色出来。IAA如果追溯到源头，那应该叫柏林车展，因为早在1879年，IAA第一届车展就在柏林举办了，当时只有8辆车，这是世界上最早举办的国际车展，直到1951年，举办地才更换到了法兰克福，渐渐地就成了欧洲最大规模的车展，最后，做成了全球五大车展，有世界汽车工业“奥运会”之称。在1989年第53界IAA法兰克福车展之后，乘用车与商用车就被拆分成两部分，乘用车在奇数年展出，商用车在偶数年展出，欧洲是一年换一个类型，咱们这里是一年换一个地方，奇数年上海车展，偶数年北京车展。其实从柏林到法兰克福再到慕尼黑，IAA的变迁也折射出了德国汽车工业，乃至全球汽车工业这些年的变化，柏林车展代表着欧洲汽车工业的起源，法兰克福车展是欧洲汽车工业的巅峰时期，现在的慕尼黑车展，展现的是欧洲汽车工业的转型。实际上，在今年1月份，大家就知道法兰克福车展不会再继续，大家都猜测接棒的城市很可能是柏林、汉堡和慕尼黑三个城市中的一个，而为什么最终选择慕尼黑，归根到底是因为慕尼黑多年来发展智能城市、智能交通和车联网，非常适合IAA转型的需要，我之前说过，宝马位于慕尼黑的总部大楼，都改造成了电池的形状。法兰克福车展做不下去，有很多原因，其中最关键的一点是欧洲环保组织的阻挠和参展人数的减少，大家应该还记得大众排放门事件吧，这件事咱们也只是看看新闻，骂两句大众不厚道而已，但是欧洲的环保组织是真的去抗议，大众损失的不仅是钱，还有之前辛苦树立起来的高大上人设瞬间崩塌。所以，法兰克福代表着老牌传统车企的形象已经落幕了，IAA当然要寻找一个新的城市来续命了，改到慕尼黑之后，车展的内容也不仅仅是纯汽车展会，还会有电动自行车、电动滑板车、电动摩托车以及充电系统、公共交通等等的展示，在全球都在谈论碳中和和碳达峰的背景下，全球的确也需要这样的车展出现。我在2014年有幸去过一次慕尼黑，当时的慕尼黑机场还是奥迪冠名的，奥迪总部 英戈尔施塔特也在慕尼黑附近。我印象最深的是，有一天晚上，我在著名的HB啤酒屋与一个当地人聊天的时候，他反复跟我们强调慕尼黑不能代表德国，一定要多去其他城市看看，后来我才知道，德国的慕尼黑就像我们中国的北上广一样，是德国各个城市的年轻人来创业打拼的地方，所以大家也可以理解为，德国IAA车展从柏林搬到法兰克福，再搬到慕尼黑，就有点像北京车展改成了上海车展，又改成了广州车展。其实，慕尼黑车展的历史要聊下去，都可以开个系列了，比如为什么以前的法兰克福车展没有中国车，可是去年全球有22家车企缺席法兰克福车展，但是中国车企去了几十家……咱们有机会再聊。今天，重点还是聊一聊这次车展上的热点车型，虽然一时半会儿咱也买不到，但这都是车企未来几年的大方向，不要以为你现在看到的新款就是真正的新款，按照现在新车的更新速度，可能1年不到新款就变老款了。既然在德国慕尼黑举办车展，东道主奔驰肯定是要尽地主之谊，秀一下自己的肌肉的，而这次慕尼黑车展最大的看点，也正是奔驰展台，一下子秀出了五款电动车，分别是：EQE、EQG、AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+、迈巴赫EQS SUV和纯电MPV EQT。像这种国际型车展，都不是我们常规理解的那种卖车的车展，人家不会拉一群销售站在台上，跟你谈个领导特批的价格，这种车展，都是用来展示未来几年自己的产品方向，让全球媒体去宣传报道，打知名度和品牌美誉度去的，所以，奔驰这次重点展出的五款纯电动车型，大概率都是后期要量产的版本。首先是EQE。大家知道奔驰之前已经发布了EQC和EQS两款车，EQC可以理解为GLC的电动版，EQS可以理解为奔驰S级的电动版，那么EQE自然可以理解为奔驰E级的电动版。这台车虽然这次在慕尼黑车展首次亮相，但之前就传言明年就在咱们国内量产，大家惊不惊喜意不意外？目前全球电动车消费市场最具潜力的国家，还是咱们中国，奔驰当然不能放过赚钱的好机会。虽然，前面我都是用燃油车来类比EQ系列三款车的级别，但是这三款车都是在纯电架构下打造的，不是简单油改电车型，EQE是奔驰EVA2.0平台下诞生的第二款车，第一款是上海车展咱们看到的EQS，EQS在国内还没上市，德国本土定价约合人民币80-103万元，可想而知，比EQS低一级的EQE，大概率也不便宜，应该在40-60万元的区间。奔驰EQE的车长4934mm，轴距3122mm，这台车的大小基本与进口奔驰E差不多，但是轴距比国产加长E级还要多43mm，这就是没有发动机和变速箱的好处，内部空间可以更优化。这台车最大的看点跟之前展示的EQS一样，就是中控台那块夸张的56英寸整体弧面屏，由12.3英寸数字仪表盘、17.7英寸中央触摸屏和12.3英寸副驾驶娱乐屏组成，科技感肯定是有了，再加上奔驰一贯的豪华装修风格，基本上时髦的年轻人看到这套内饰大概率是招架不住的。目前得到的消息，EQE 350版本是单电机+后轮驱动，最大功率288马力，峰值扭矩530牛米，搭载90.6千瓦时电池包，WLTP续航660公里，可以选装双电机全驱，续航会有所缩减。虽然，国外媒体说这台车对标Model S，但是我觉得那都是被充值了，这车充其量跟咱们国内的蔚来ET7掰掰手腕，到时候就看谁的配置更高，送的服务更多，谁更有诚意了，奔驰如果还是那么傲娇的卖电动车，估计多数没戏，如果能把服务做好，我觉得奔驰在40-60万区间的电动车市场还是很有竞争力的。这次车展比EQE更吸引人眼球的，是奔驰EQG。按照EQ系列命名规则，大家也应该猜到了，这相当于是奔驰大G的电动版，封闭式进气格栅，中间的奔驰大LOGO晚上还能发光，外形保留了大G的经典元素，后面背的小书包从燃油车的备胎，换成了电动车的充电线，内饰基本上与现款大G也没啥区别。你说，这样一台纯电的大G得卖多少钱？最便宜的G350都要卖到140多万，我觉得这台车怎么着也得120万起步吧……大家可以猜一下，到时候进入中国市场，是否还要加价几十万？我唯一担心的是，他非承载式车身，再加上一块108.9kWh的大电池包，这么重的车身电耗会高达多少？另外，纯电的大G，三把锁的问题如何解决，不能光凹造型啊，越野性能无敌也是它卖的贵的原因，甭管土豪车主用不用，你得有，而且得很牛才行，所以这车一时半会儿还上不了市，据说最快也得2025年。这次慕尼黑车展，奔驰还亮相了AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+，咱们国内EQS还没上市了，现在AMG版本又来了。但是，大家都知道奔驰AMG被吹爆的原因，就是一人一机的传统，还有AMG团队针对整车的性能强化，只不过最近这两年，AMG成了皮肤和BUFF，贴在普通量产车上，拉高一个档次溢价来卖。这台电动的AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+，也算是让咱们提前看到了，奔驰今后的AMG版电动车到底是啥样，其实也就是外观加了AMG套件，可是电动车你又不能给它强加个四出排气，那太假了吧，只能换上高性能刹车和AMG轮毂。内饰倒是可以做做文章，AMG风格界面的仪表、平底AMG方向盘、AMG运动踏板、大面积的碳纤维和Alcantara材质，加上红色点缀，还有座椅上的AMG标识，就这么多。这台车前后双电机，最大功率484千瓦，峰值扭矩950牛米，如果你愿意再加钱上AMG DYNAMIC PLUS套件的话，最功率提升到560千瓦，峰值扭矩1020牛米，百公里加速能从3.8秒，提升到3.4秒。对一台电动车来说，这点提升意义大吗，我觉得不大，因为电动车的加速、扭矩都是瞬间释放的，跟燃油车不是一个感觉，倒是续航可以关注一下，107.8千瓦时的电池组，WLTP综合续航526-580km。连AMG都电动化了，那迈巴赫还会远吗？这次慕尼黑车展，奔驰干脆又亮相了一台迈巴赫EQS SUV。我第一眼看到这车的造型，震惊了，不是说它设计的有多夸张，而是脑海里立刻浮现出咱们的一款国产车红旗E-HS9，红旗H9和红旗E-HS9都是咱们中国设计师丁杨峰的原创设计，这哥们还获得了“2021中国车年度设计师”称号，不过这台迈巴赫EQS SUV还是概念车阶段，我估计厂家如果看到大量网友在吐槽它像咱们国产红旗E-HS9之后，大概率会更改前脸的设计。这台车2022年即将量产，WLTP续航里程600km，有很多媒体说这台车会是纯电动SUV的天花板，我觉得言过其词了，他的价格可能是天花板，但是无论豪华感还是科技感，这车绝对不可能是天花板，因为燃油版迈巴赫的畅销，就是因为内饰的过度装修，让土豪觉得豪华之上还有奢华。但是，电动车讲究环保，内饰大量真皮和实木材质，绝对是反潮流的做法，而无论你用什么科技环保材料来营造这台车的内饰，迈巴赫的那种奢华的内饰氛围，你都营造不出来，因为要奢华，你就得不计成本的浪费稀有资源，虽然从环保角度看我们绝不提倡，但是从市场角度看，这就是吸引有钱人的唯一理由。所以，我一点也不看好迈巴赫EQS SUV，甚至我觉得奔驰把迈巴赫放到EQ纯电系列里，就是完全错误的方向，迈巴赫就是用来拉升奔驰调性用的，奥迪和宝马都没有能敌得过迈巴赫系列的车型，这种必杀技绝对不能乱用，一旦奔驰迈巴赫系列走下神坛，奔驰全系车型的调性就都会受到影响。最后，是一款奔驰EQT纯电MPV。前脸还是EQ家族的设计语言，但是整车造型类似奔驰V级，大小比V级略小一些。内饰就比较传统了，如果光看图片，大家还以为就是台燃油车呢。需要注意的是，这台车用的是雷诺CMF-B平台，是由奔驰与雷诺、日产和三菱合作开发而来的。看到这里，估计不少人已经没兴趣了，实际上，看到后面的一组数据，大家更是要劝退。这台车搭载75kW单电机，配备45千瓦时的电池组，综合续航265km，据说这款车今后可能会分两个系列，一个是面向商业的Citan车型，一个是面向家用的T-Class，如果真是这个续航，我劝奔驰就别引入国内销售了，我买7台宏光MINI EV，组个车队自驾游都比你这香啊。说到这儿，就不得不提这次慕尼黑车展参展的中国品牌。其实今年中国品牌出国参展，困难比往年大的多，因为疫情的关系，跨境布展，无论是人员还是物料的成本都要高的多，可以说，这次去参展的中国品牌，都是未来几年想在欧洲市场搞点大动作的车企。首先是长城汽车，在慕尼黑车展发布了Coffe01，其实就是摩卡的PHEV版本，而且年底就在德国开启预售，2002年开始首批交付，并且慕尼黑会开欧洲首个体验中心，未来1年内会完成60个服务站点的建设。同时，长城还带去了一台Coffe02，其实就是咱们国内还没上市的拿铁，然后长城欧拉还带去了好猫、好猫GT、樱桃猫以及闪电猫等等产品，欧拉猫咪系列大家应该很熟悉，在这台车的设计风格上能找到保时捷和大众甲壳虫的影子。所以，当初大众还讽刺过长城欧拉，这次直接把车停在德国大众家门口，不知道大众高管看到之后，心里是种什么滋味。很遗憾，这次慕尼黑车展真正带实车参展的就长城一家，还有小鹏和零跑这些都是虚拟参展，就是看看大屏幕，安排一个人讲解讲解。华为也参展了，但是没有车，只是展示智能解决方案，以及自家的鸿蒙OS系统，毕竟欧洲是华为的主要消费市场之一，欧洲老百姓对华为也很熟悉。实际上，这次慕尼黑车展有台车，也算半个中国产——全新的smart精灵#1概念车。这台车是由中国和德国共同开发，并基于吉利浩瀚SEA架构打造，其中设计部分由德国奔驰完成，工程研发由吉利团队完成，并且，这台车已经确定由吉利来进行生产。不仅如此，smart品牌全球合资公司总部设在宁波杭州湾新区，同时在中国和德国分别设立营销中心。大家也不用奇怪，因为当年李书福花了90亿美元收购了戴姆勒9.7%的股份，虽然没有控股，但也是说一不二的大股东，如今两家公司有点深入合作，也是正常情况。关于更多慕尼黑车展的相关信息，大家在各大汽车门户网站都可以看到更多信息，宝马、奥迪和大众的一些全新电动车产品，也非常有趣。如果到今天，大家还是不相信电动或者混动车是未来的大趋势，还是不愿意接受和拥抱智能交通的改变，我建议看看这次慕尼黑车展全球各大车企的态度转变，就像当年我们从按传统手机转到智能机的时候，我也曾质疑过周围人，每天低头对着手里的屏幕划来划去，像个傻子似的。我也曾质疑，这种一天就要充一次电的破手机，会有人买吗？我也曾担心过，这种一摔就坏的屏幕，会不会修的钱都能再买个新的了？可现如今，这些都不是问题，因为手机不再是手机，他可以替代很多产品，新能源汽车当然也不仅仅是燃料的变化，未来它对我们的改变，将远超我们的想象。可以添加微信46415254加入我们的社群音频图文更新在订阅号：

The German plant is expanding its electric cars and plug-in hybrid capacity to over 500,000 units as early as 2022. To further strengthen its in-house competence, the BMW Group also manufactures the high-voltage batteries and battery modules." says BMW Blog "At the Dingolfing plant, production of the fifth generation of the BMW eDrive, which is used in the iX3 is already in use and will soon be installed in significantly larger numbers in the i4 and iX. The BMW Group will invest over 500 million euros in Dingolfing between 2020 and 2022 to meet the rising demand of electrified BMWs. Along with investments in Leipzig, Regensburg and Steyr, BMW will spend over 790 millions euros." https://www.bmwblog.com/2021/05/29/bmw-plans-500000-electric-drives-per-year-starting-in-2022/ AUDI'S INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM GETS A HUGE UPGRADE"Audi has upgraded the MIB3 infotainment system with a slew of new features including Amazon Alexa voice support and more personalization options. Previously available as a push-to-talk function on the steering wheel, Amazon's Alexa voice assistant has been added to most 2022 Audi models equipped with the MIB 3 infotainment system and an active Audi Prime or Plus subscription." reports CarBuzz: "Apple Music support has also been expanded. In addition, wireless Android Auto support has been added to the e-tron, and e-tron Sportback. An updated route planner for electric models can also now distinguish between Level 2 AC chargers and Level 3 DC fast chargers." https://carbuzz.com/news/audis-infotainment-system-gets-a-huge-upgrade-for-2022 WHY TIKTOK'S TAGGING DANGEROUS TESLA AUTOPILOT & SELF-DRIVING VIDEOS"TikTok has begun tagging videos of people using Tesla's Autopilot or Full Self-Driving capabilities dangerously with a warning that the actions could cause serious injury. The move is a worrying reflection of the number of such videos that are being posted to the platform. However, TikTok's community guidelines suggest the content shouldn't remain on the platform at all." says Screenrant.com: "As the Wall Street Journal reports, lots of videos are now cropping up online of people pushing the boundaries and carrying out stunts with the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features in Tesla cars. One individual was arrested by police for riding in the back of a moving Tesla, released on bail, and then videoed himself doing it again. As The Next Web reports, the trend for videos showing people using the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features without following the guidance provided by Tesla has become so pronounced that TikTok is adding disclaimers to them warning of the dangers, such as: "The action in this video could result in serious injury." While TikTok can hardly be blamed for the videos being made, the most responsible course of action it could take would be removing them altogether. Indeed, its own community guidelines seem to suggest that's precisely what it should be doing." https://screenrant.com/tiktok-tagging-dangerous-tesla-autopilot-self-driving-videos/ MERCEDES-BENZ EQS SUV SPIED IN THE OPEN"We have plenty of reason to believe that the spy video here is showing us the EQS SUV prototype. The EV may be clad in heavy zebra camouflage but its headlamps and overall frontal profile is just too similar with the EQS sedan. A glance inside the vehicle also hints of the same MBUX Hyperscreen found in its sedan sibling. Meanwhile, going around it displays a lift gate design in the rear and an overall layout not that different from the GLS SUV." reports Benz Insider: "There’s no information available on the mechanical specs of the EQS SUV as of the moment, but if it carries over the trims of its sedan version like the latest Merc SUVs, its power might go from 329 hp up to 516 hp. We hope that its maker keeps up to its promise of at least 478 miles electric range for the electric SUV as well." https://www.benzinsider.com/2021/05/new-mercedes-benz-eqs-suv-spied-in-the-open/ TESLA MODEL X PLAID SEEN FOR THE FIRST TIME"Here we have two first very short videos with the refreshed Model X - probably the Plaid version. The car has a yoke steering wheel, new displays (instrument cluster, vertical infotainment screen and the all-new rear screen), 20'' Cyberstream Wheels, and plenty of other minor changes. We must admit that the new red Model X, with the black elements (previously silver/chrome) looks very good. It probably will look even better with the 22'' Turbine Wheel" reports InsideEVs: "since the Tesla Model S Plaid deliveries are just around the corner, we are eager to see some more videos also about the upcoming Model X, which is expected to follow a few months after the Model S." https://insideevs.com/news/510235/tesla-model-x-plaid-seen/ RIVIAN IPO COULD BE WORTH $70BN" A new report indicates that Rivian Automotive Inc. is gearing up to go public with an IPO that could be worth as much as $70 billion. Word of the potential IPO comes from sources cited by Bloomberg that wanted to remain anonymous because the IPO is unannounced at this time." says SlashGear: "Rivian is working with advisors, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co., and Morgan Stanley. The sources claim that Rivian is seeking a valuation of around $70 billion, while past rumors indicated Rivian would be seeking a value closer to $50 billion. " https://www.slashgear.com/rivian-automotive-chooses-an-underwriter-for-an-ipo-that-could-be-worth-70-billion-30675166/ TESLA SUPERCHARGER WAIT DISPLAYED ON NAVIGATION SCREEN"Headed to a busy Supercharger on this busy Memorial Day travel weekend? Now you can see the estimated length of time you can expect to wait at a full Supercharger station on the Tesla Navigation screen. Tesla has been showing the number of stalls currently available on the Nav screen for a few years. Now, if a Supercharger is full, drivers are shown a grey clock icon on the pin. When you touch the pin it will display short, medium or long wait for that location." according to PlugInSites.org  https://pluginsites.org/tesla-supercharger-wait-displayed-on-navigation-screen/ JAGUAR LAND ROVER ELECTRIC STATEGY"Jaguar has a new name for its global strategy that encompasses big changes to the Jaguar Land Rover vehicle lineup as the brands reposition themselves and transition to an electric future: Reimagine. " says Motortrend: "No new Jaguars will be added to the current lineup until 2025, when the luxury car brand will go fully electric. Land Rover will take a longer path to electrification. The goal of 1 million global sales annually has been abandoned for a more realistic 400,000. Overall, the automaker is going from six vehicle architectures to three: two for Land Rover and one for Jaguar. Overlap between the two brands will end; they will have separate architectures (an all-electric one for Jaguar, and a pair of flexible ICE/hybrid/BEV capable architectures for Land Rover)" https://www.motortrend.com/news/jaguar-land-rover-plans-ev-future/ ELECTRIC PORSCHE 911 HAS A SMARTPHONE-CONTROLLED TAILPIPE"Everrati, a UK-based electric car specialist, this week revealed its latest creation, a 964-generation Porsche 911. The car is powered by a 53kWh battery pack, has a claimed range of over 150 miles, and outputs 500 horsepower." says Forbes: "It weighs slightly less than when it was powered by internal combustion – partly thanks to the use of carbon fiber body panels – and can sprint to 60mph in under four seconds. DC fast charging means the battery can be topped up from 10 percent to almost full in an hour. But what sets this car apart from a growing range of electrified classics is the pair of tailpipes sprouting from under the rear bumper. Linked to a smartphone application, the mock exhaust emits a sound reminiscent of the flat-six engine the Porsche was born with."https://www.forbes.com/sites/alistaircharlton/2021/05/30/this-electric-porsche-911-has-a-smartphone-controlled-tailpipe/QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COMWhat kind of charging do you think workplaces should have? Email me your thoughts and I’ll read them out on Sunday – hello@evnewsdaily.com It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing. Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid. PREMIUM PARTNERSPHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE BRAD CROSBYPORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATIAUDI CINCINNATI EASTVOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNELRICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UKEMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/

The issue at the heart of the problem is the fact that Tesla uses "rollout" to achieve the claimed sub-2-second 0 to 60 times for the New Model S Plaid and Plaid+. In other words, it's not 0 to 60 mph, it's more like 6 to 60 mph since the Plaid and Plaid Plus will likely have accelerated to 6 mph by the time they have traveled the one-foot rollout and Tesla's stopwatch starts." says Tom Moloughney for InsideEVs: "The three arguments being: Most people don't even know what rollout is - and they shouldn't have to. He finds it deceiving that the information is hidden in the detail section, and not shown on the main Model S order page. Tesla doesn't use the same method of recording 0-60 times for the less expensive models." https://insideevs.com/news/505597/engineering-explained-model-s-acceleration-rollout/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7yigpPSu_o FOLLOW UP TO TEXAS EV BILL - ALSO, SASKATCHEWAN"On April 20, 2021, the Government of Saskatchewan introduced Bill 34 to create a new annual road use charge of $150 for passenger EVs registered in the province. In a recent press release, the provincial government announced that the increasing number of EVs contribute to the wear and tear on provincial roads, and the EV owners are currently not contributing to the maintenance of the roads through the provincial fuel tax because EVs do not consume conventional fossil fuels." At the moment will affect around 500 owners. https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/saskatchewan-to-introduce-a-road-use-6780646/ MERCEDES EQS SUV SPIED IN PARKING LOT WITH ITS INSIDES SHOWING"now that the sedan is unwrapped, we can easily see a very similar design for the grille and headlights on the SUV. Even with cladding under the wrap at the grille, there's no missing that big, grinning face and cab-forward design Mercedes made such a big deal about at the EQS debut" says Motor1.com: "Despite the sedan's recent debut, we aren't expecting to see the SUV break cover anytime soon. Mercedes is on track to have 10 electric vehicles in its stable by the end of 2022 and the EQS SUV will likely come towards the end of that run, possibly debuting late this year or the first half of next year as a 2023 model." Mercedes’s design chief, Gordon Wagener recently discussed the EQS and upcoming EQE SUV’s design brief with Auto Express, saying: “They will look different in a similar way as I describe the EQS. They will be more seamless, more integrated, more aerodynamic, more futuristic looking, so it will be a new type of SUV.” " according to Auto Express: "The EQS SUV should also adopt Mercedes’s Level 3 autonomous driving technology, which will allow the car to drive itself with limited driver supervision at speeds up to 37mph, when in slow-moving motorway traffic. The UK Government also recently legalised such systems for use on the road, meaning there’s no longer any road-blocks for British buyers." https://www.motor1.com/news/505591/mercedes-eqs-suv-interior-spy-photos/ https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mercedes/354747/new-2022-mercedes-eqs-suv-spied-first-time FISKER EV DEAL WITH FOXCONN INCLUDES U.S. FACTORYFisker Inc.’s existing agreement to develop an electric vehicle with Foxconn Technology Group will now include a factory in the U.S. The joint project -- codenamed Project PEAR -- is targeting a start of production in the U.S. by the fourth quarter of 2023, the companies said in a statement Thursday.  Foxconn has an EV platform that will be used to launch two light vehicles in the fourth quarter of this year, Chairman Young Liu said in February. The company has also inked a manufacturing deal with Chinese startup Byton Ltd. and been among a coterie of suppliers and assemblers linked with a potential Apple Inc. car." says Bloomberg: "Fisker and Foxconn will jointly invest in Project PEAR -- short for Personal Electric Automotive Revolution -- with each company taking proceeds if the launch is successful. Spending on the partnership will be hefty. Liu told analysts on Friday that building 10,000 cars per month in the U.S. will require $1 billion of capital expenditure, though he declined to elaborate on how the two companies will split the costs.

The list includes the MG ZS, the Nissan Leaf, the Hyundai IONIQ Elite – both the plug-in hybrid and battery electric versions, the Hyundai Kona, and the Model 3 from one of Sonnen’s key home battery storage rivals, Tesla." says TheDriven.io: "Sonnen’s pay-as-you-go subscription model offers flexibility – no lock-in contracts and members can stop or swap with two weeks notice – with the weekly subscription cost covering registration, insurance, maintenance, servicing and roadside assistance." https://thedriven.io/2021/05/10/battery-giant-sonnen-launches-electric-vehicle-subscription-service-in-australia/ https://sonnengroup.com/sonnenbatterie/ NEW YORK CITY EVSfrom Anne Barnard at NYT, a look at some of the EVs being used in the city: "The city already has one all-electric garbage truck and 27 hybrid sweepers. The new sweeper, which will travel 7,000 miles per year, will reduce planet-warming emissions by 89 metric tons in its lifetime, the amount 19 cars spew in a year, sanitation officials say." "The city’s first all-electric school bus started running a route in central Brooklyn last month, after Mayor Bill de Blasio announced plans to make all school buses electric within 14 years." "Another 600 off-road city vehicles, used mostly in parks, are either fully electric or solar." "There are 13 all-electric taxis out of 13,587 in the city. Out of more than 103,000 licensed ride-sharing vehicles, fewer than 300 were all-electric as of mid-2020." https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/05/13/nyregion/ny-electric-vehicles.html 5 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES 1. There were 11 million registered electric vehicles on the road at the end of last year 10 million of these were cars. 2. Electric car buying remained high in the face of the pandemic. Electric car registrations were up 41% in 2020, despite a 16% drop in overall car sales across the world.3. Consumer and government spending on electric cars rose in 2020. A rise in the number of different EV car models available in the market to 370 and the falling cost of batteries saw consumers spend 50% more on electric cars in 2020, to the tune of $120 billion4. Electric bus and truck registrations also increased within the world’s largest markets Across China, Europe and North America these rises were mainly due to municipal governments imposing greater emission reductions on commercial vehicles operating within their towns and cities.5. Widespread EV adoption could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions The IEA says mass adoption has the potential to cut emissions by more than one-third by 2030 under the existing ‘stated’ green policies. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/05/electric-vehicle-sales-sustainability-iea/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM A recent survey – which I highly questioned and disagreed with – claimed 1 in 5 EV owners went back to piston power.  I have never heard anything like a 20% rate of EV drivers being unhappy with electric.

WEDNESDAY   FORD'S FORTHCOMING BATTERY-ELECTRIC TRUCK TO BE CALLED 'F-150 LIGHTNING' On Twitter @mrlevine Mike Levine, Ford North America Product Communications manager: "BAM! Get ready for the all-electric, all-new Ford F-150 Lightning to be revealed on May 19 at 930 pm ET. ime to take electric and turn it into Lightning. Quicker than the original F-150 SVT Lightning yet able to work as hard as today’s trucks. Awesome!"   "Ford Motor Co.'s battery-electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup truck is coming — and now it has a name. The Blue Oval revealed Monday that the truck will be dubbed "F-150 Lightning." The vehicle itself will be unveiled May 19 via a livestreamed event from Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn." says The Detroit News: "F-150 Lightning is part of Ford's initial portfolio of electric vehicles that includes the Mustang Mach-E, which launched at the end of last year, and the forthcoming electric version of the Transit van."   https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2021/05/10/ford-announces-name-reveal-date-upcoming-battery-electric-f-150/5020845001/   MERCEDES-BENZ CONCEPT EQT "The Mercedes-Benz Concept EQT previews the brand’s new T-Class MPV, the electric version of which will be the ninth model from its EQ sub-brand" says Autocar today: "Set to rival the Volkswagen Caddy, Citroen Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo when UK sales get underway in 2022, the new model has been developed in partnership with Renault; the T-Class is twinned with the third-generation Kangoo, while the EQT is a sister model to the recently announced Kangoo E-Tech Electric. Mercedes-Benz’s Van division is planned to offer the choice of either a standard wheelbase in combination with a five-seat layout or, as previewed by the Concept EQT, an extended wheelbase with a seven-seat layout. Entry to the front is via front-hinged doors, while rear access is via a set of sliding doors, electronically operated on the concept but set to be manual on the production version."   101hp and 45kWh battery.   So: EQC, EQV, EQA, EQS and EQB, EQE, EQE SUV and EQS SUV. .   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-benz-concept-eqt-previews-electric-t-class   UK’S LARGEST EV CHARGING HUB SET TO ELECTRIFY BRENT CROSS The 236-bay hub will be installed in Brent Cross Shopping Centre car park. The chargers, which will be operated and maintained by Franklin Energy on the LiFe Network, will be supplied by EVBox and installed over a number of phases. The first phase, which is due to complete later this year, will see the installation of 50 fast charging points (22kW AC) and two ultra-rapid charging points (350 kW DC)   The fast chargers take 1-2 hours to fully charge a car battery, providing ample time for customers to enjoy the many retail and leisure offerings available at Brent Cross and complements the average time taken for a visit, which, prior to the pandemic, averaged at 95 minutes.(1)   https://franklinenergy.co.uk/uks-largest-ev-charging-hub-set-to-electrify-brent-cross/   RENAULT CONSIDERS INTRODUCING BATTERY-SWAPPING IN ITS ELECTRIC CARS "Renault is considering introducing a battery-swapping capability in its electric cars, potentially becoming the first big carmaker to embrace the technology." reports the Financial Times today: "Chief executive Luca de Meo told the Financial Times’ Future of the Car Summit on Tuesday he is assessing plans to adopt the technology, which would significantly cut waiting times at recharging stations. The battery-swapping technology also allows manufacturers to decouple the cost of batteries from new electric vehicles, preventing drivers from being concerned about depreciating battery capacity or value."   Read more here: https://www.ft.com/content/cac5c438-900a-46ee-9564-43aa905db4b6   AUDI BOSS THINKS ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL BE HALF OF THE MARKET BY 2030 "Since, 2018, Audi has introduced, the e-tron SUV, the e-tron Sportback, sportier “S” variants of both, the e-tron GT, the Q4 e-tron, Q4 e-tron Sportback, and the all-new A6 e-tron Concept. Audi has developed more new EVs in the past couple of years than Tesla has developed in its entire existence." points out the website Quattrodaily - so, they'll be a little biased!: "According Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, electric vehicles will make up half of the automotive market by 2030. In fact, Duesmann sees such a massive shift in the demand for electric vehicles that, as long as the infrastructure can support it, he doesn’t see a reason why any customer would want internal combustion if electric vehicles are available."   https://www.quattrodaily.com/audi-boss-thinks-electric-vehicles-will-be-half-of-the-market-by-2030/   FRANCE WRITES-OFF CHADEMO STANDARD IN NEW LEGISLATION "The end of the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard is on the horizon in France. While a 2017-decree made CHAdeMO mandatory for DC-charging stations alongside CCS and Type 2 by the end of 2024, the government has now revised its plans." writes electrive: "The decree, published in its revised form earlier this month, ends the requirement to implement the Japanese standard. From now on, only CCS for DC charging and Type 2 for AC charging (22 kW) is considered mandatory for newly installed and replaced fast-charging stations in France. The French decree further stresses the requirement of interoperability and introduces obligations in terms of quality of service. CPOs and networks must make their commitments public, for example, “report periodically” on the quality levels achieved."   https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/10/france-writes-off-chademo-standard-in-new-legislation/   ARE ELECTRIC FIRE TRUCKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? "However, it wasn’t until recently that innovators began to apply electric technology to emergency vehicles. Now, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is showing off North America’s first electric fire engine from Austria-based Rosenbauer Group." says Clean Fleet Report: "However, the vehicle isn’t fully electric. It’s a series plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt. Volvo Penta, which has created electric powertrains for a variety of applications, will power the Revolutionary Technology fire truck. The electric drive unit is based on one use in terminal tractors. To test durability, Rosenbauer will also test three more trucks in Berlin, Amsterdam and Dubai. The truck features two electric motors with a total output of 490 horsepower...quick-charge batteries with a charging capacity of 100 to 150 kilowatts."   https://cleanfleetreport.com/feature-are-electric-fire-trucks-in-the-near-future/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=feature-are-electric-fire-trucks-in-the-near-future   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   A recent survey – which I highly questioned and disagreed with – claimed 1 in 5 EV owners went back to piston power.  I have never heard anything like a 20% rate of EV drivers being unhappy with electric.
