The Environmental Protection Agency rescinds its 2009 assertion that it can regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, because they "endanger" public health. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says this means cheaper cars and no more EV mandates, but is it going next to the courts, and maybe the Supreme Court? Learn more about your ad choices.

What do you do when metastatic urothelial cancer responds dramatically to systemic therapy? In this episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Abhinav Khanna (Mayo Clinic) speaks with host Dr. Daniel Roberson about the growing question of consolidative surgery after enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. They discuss how EV-pembro has reshaped treatment expectations, why unexpected complete or near-complete responses are prompting tumor board debates about cystectomy, and how careful multidisciplinary decision-making guides which patients may be considered for surgery. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation reviews early outcomes showing high rates of pathologic downstaging and the possibility that many patients may avoid additional systemic therapy after surgery, while emphasizing this approach is not yet standard of care. Dr. Khanna highlights coordination with medical oncology, radiology, and pathology, postoperative considerations, and the potential future role of biomarkers such as ctDNA. Ultimately, the episode underscores the need for clinical trials and thoughtful patient selection as clinicians navigate integrating surgery into an evolving systemic therapy landscape. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:19 - The Evolution of Urothelial Carcinoma Treatment05:23 - Rationale for Consolidative Surgery12:32 - Patient Selection Criteria15:23 - Surgical Approach and Considerations23:58 - Pathologic Findings31:34 - The Role of Radiation39:38 - Biomarkers44:10 - Prospective Trials and Future Directions53:06 - Guidance for Urologists --- RESOURCES Consolidative Surgery for Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma Following Induction Enfortumab Vedotin and/or Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy: A Multicenter Analysishttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40425390/ Enfortumab Vedotin and Pembrolizumab in Untreated Advanced Urothelial Cancerhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2312117 Standard or Extended Lymphadenectomy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancerhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/abs/10.1056/NEJMoa2401497
Welcome back to The Circular Economy Show and another episode of Circular Snapshots, where we unpack the headlines shaping the transition to a circular economy.This month, Seb explores the EU's upcoming Circular Economy Act and its shift toward positioning circularity as industrial strategy, not just environmental policy. We look at new global data revealing rapid growth in national circular economy roadmaps, and why implementation is now the real test.We also dive into the growing link between circular economy and critical mineral supply chains — from insights at the World Economic Forum to new analysis on EV batteries and material security. Finally, we examine a major UK industry push for a mandatory textiles Extended Producer Responsibility scheme, and what it could mean for transforming one of the economy's most linear sectors.From policy to supply chains to industry coalitions, this episode highlights one clear trend: the circular economy is becoming central to competitiveness.Stories referenced in today's episode:EU Circular Economy Acthttps://www.brusselstimes.com/1937610/europes-new-circular-economy-act-getting-the-basics-right-for-eu-competitivenessNational Circular Economy Roadmapshttps://www.unido.org/sites/default/files/unido-publications/2026-01/Stocktake%20CE%20Roadmaps%202025.pdfCritical minerals and the circular economyhttps://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/01/circular-economy-clean-energy-supply-chain-critical-minerals/Circular economy and EV batterieshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiehailstone/2026/01/27/circular-economy-could-prevent-an-ev-battery-minerals-bottleneck-study-finds/Textiles and EPRhttps://resource.co/article/uk-textiles-industry-group-publishes-10-point-blueprint-mandatory-epr-scheme

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1270: Ford floats ideas to counter China's EV push, Detroit rethinks sedans as affordability pressures rise and Amazon proves even tech giants can't crack physical retail that easily.As Chinese automakers creep closer to U.S. soil, Ford CEO Jim Farley reportedly discussed a framework that would allow Chinese brands to build cars in America—through U.S.-controlled joint ventures. The idea? Compete without getting steamrolled.Farley discussed U.S.-majority joint ventures with Trump cabinet officials at the Detroit Auto Show.The structure would allow Chinese automakers to build in the U.S., sharing profits and tech with American partners.Trump recently said he'd be open to Chinese companies building plants and hiring Americans.GM opposes any Chinese entry, warning of lost market share and supplier disruption.New polling from the north shows that Canadian sentiment toward Chinese-built EVs has shifted sharply: 53% now say it wouldn't affect their purchase decision and 15% say they'd be more likely to buy—compared to 2024 when 61% said they were less likely to consider one.After years of betting big on SUVs and trucks, Detroit may be eyeing a return to sedans as affordability pressures mount.GM, Ford and Stellantis are all exploring affordable sedan options, including hybrids priced under $30,000.Passenger cars now make up just 18% of U.S. sales, down from 50% fifteen years agoAs Detroit exited sedans, Toyota's share of the U.S. sedan market jumped from 12% to 22%Dealers say losing sedans cost them entry-level buyers who later would've traded up to higher-margin SUVs and trucks.“If somebody could build an affordable sedan, it would sell,” said dealer Adam Lee. “We have made these cars so expensive that nobody can afford them.”Amazon is shutting down its Amazon Go and Fresh stores, admitting it couldn't crack the economics of brick-and-mortar grocery. Despite world-class logistics and tech, the company discovered what operators already know: physical retail is a grind.Amazon will close Go and Fresh locations after failing to build a scalable, profitable grocery model.Grocery is attractive because it's high-frequency and data-rich—fuel for Amazon's $21B ad business, but shoppers prioritize price, value, and location over tech like “Just Walk Out.”“Physical grocery is just brutally operational,” said Professor Andy Tsay, calling the margins “thin and unforgiving.”Today's show is brought to you by ESi-Q. ESi-Q measures employee satisfaction and provides actionable insight into what's driving employee Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Send a textLove shows up in candy aisles, awkward expectations, and the checkout line—with a side of sticker shock—so we dig into the real question: do you still buy Valentines for your kids, even when they're grown? Our table splits, and that sparks a bigger conversation about what Valentine's Day really measures: affection, effort, or how well you dodge commercialization without sounding like a grinch. We talk thoughtful ideas that land, gifts that flop, and why recycled intimacy doesn't count as a present.The ride swerves into real life: Girl Scouts turned tap-to-pay pros, Walmart locking up basics, and fundraiser candy that shrank while prices climbed. Then we jump from aisles to arenas with a brush-by of Lady Gaga's team and a peek at the machine behind major tours—sealed phones, tight rehearsal windows, and camera crews moonlighting from the Super Bowl and Taylor Swift's juggernaut. We stack ticket prices across Gaga, WrestleMania, and smaller venues like Lupe Fiasco's anniversary show to find the sweet spot between spectacle and sanity. Pro tip: presales and intimate rooms often deliver bigger memories than nosebleeds at eight times the price.Because culture is also under the hood, we clash over EV trucks vs gas—range anxiety vs torque joy, generators on wheels vs the ritual of the pump—and admit some new designs finally look clean enough to sway skeptics. And since every great debate needs fuel, we put local spots on notice about gizzards, smothered chicken, and what “simmered right” actually means. It's messy, loud, and honest, with a stack of movie and TV picks to close your night: The Bear for kitchen heat, a tight six-episode His & Hers binge, and a few upcoming thrillers to circle on your calendar.Press play for jokes with bite, practical ideas you can steal, and a reminder to make Valentine's Day mean something real—especially for the people who don't usually get the gifts. If this made you laugh or think, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your best Valentine's win or fail in a review.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

En este episodio analizamos con preocupación el informe que apunta a un nuevo retraso importante en el lanzamiento de la próxima generación de Siri. Debatimos sobre cómo estas funciones clave, que incluirían mayor contexto personal, podrían no llegar hasta bien entrado 2026 o incluso integrarse ya en iOS 27, lo que deja a Apple en una posición difícil frente a los avances de la competencia.Reflexionamos sobre los problemas internos de arquitectura que parecen estar frenando el desarrollo y el impacto negativo que esta noticia ha tenido en la valoración bursátil de la compañía.Repasamos también las cifras de adopción de iOS 26, que muestran una buena salud del ecosistema, y comentamos el sorprendente repunte de ventas del iPhone en un mercado chino en decrecimiento. Además, explicamos el reciente parcheo de una vulnerabilidad crítica de seguridad que llevaba años presente en el sistema operativo y dedicamos un espacio a opinar sobre el diseño del nuevo Ferrari eléctrico, obra del estudio de Jony Ive, contrastando su enfoque estético con los productos de Apple.Por último, celebramos la llegada oficial de la aplicación de YouTube a las Vision Pro y nos adentramos en las novedades de Apple TV+, destacando la confirmación de una secuela para la película de Fórmula 1 y la adquisición total de los derechos de producción de la serie Severance.Cerramos la conversación especulando sobre los inminentes lanzamientos de hardware desde el posible iPhone 17e hasta los curiosos rumores sobre unos AirPods equipados con cámaras infrarrojas.

Jim sits down with Dr. Joe Bozeman for an in‑depth conversation on the complex realities behind the rapid growth of electric vehicles. Together, they unpack the lesser‑seen side of the EV revolution—especially the challenges and consequences of lithium mining, the backbone of modern battery technology. Their discussion explores the environmental, human, and geopolitical impacts of the global scramble for critical minerals. From ecological damage and labor concerns to the strategic vulnerabilities created by resource scarcity, the episode highlights why responsible mining practices must be part of any sustainable energy future. Jim and Joe also examine the critical role of community engagement, the responsibility engineers carry in designing ethical and sustainable systems, and how thoughtful policy can help balance economic growth with environmental justice.

From Singapore’s AI ambitions to China’s EV and bubble tea giants - where is the smartest risk-reward right now? Singapore’s Budget 2026 signals an accelerated AI roadmap just as Chinese growth names like BYD, XPeng, Pop Mart and Guming Holdings capture investor attention, hosted by Michelle Martin. We unpack Prime Minister Lawrence Wong’s innovation-led strategy and what it could mean for Singapore equities and AI infrastructure plays. Then we pivot to China’s EV landscape as global registrations soften and policy shifts test demand resilience. BYD’s battery leadership and export muscle face off against XPeng’s tech-driven autonomy ambitions.Pop Mart’s IP-powered collectibles and Guming’s beverage expansion highlight the power - and risk - of consumer identity investing. Are these companies building durable global franchises, or riding policy tailwinds and cyclical momentum?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
British Columbia's drug decriminalization pilot has officially come to an end, with the province acknowledging it did not deliver the results hoped for. The search for Nancy Guthrie in the US is continuing with investigators still following leads and hoping for answers. For families, friends, and communities, every day without resolution brings uncertainty and heartbreak. Canada's much‑watched electric vehicle rebate program is back... but while the new system offers up to $5,000 toward the purchase of a new EV, issues from the old program are still causing headaches for some dealers.

Het is Paramount tóch gelukt! Al maanden proberen ze aandeelhouders én het bestuur van Warner Bros te overtuigen dat hún bod echt superieur is aan dat van Netflix. Telkens had dat geen zin. De directie van Warner Bros nam de telefoon niet eens op, beweerde Paramount-ceo David Ellison. Maar nu Paramount het bod verhoogt heeft, willen ze tóch praten. Of dat gesprek het begin gaat zijn van een biedoorlog met concurrent Netflix, zoeken we uit in deze aflevering. Daarin hoor je ook over Volkswagen: de autobouwer gaat álweer bezunigen. En fors ook: er moet voor 20 procent in de kosten worden gesneden. Het is de zoveelste bezuiniging, keer op keer bleken besparingen dus niet genoeg. Wij hebben een betere oplossing voor Volkswagen: meer geld verdienen. Waarom ze dat maar niet lukt, bespreken we ook. Hoor je ook nog over: Het nieuwe AI-model Alibaba, dat zelfs beter schijnt te zijn dan de Chinese tegenhanger Deepseek ECB-baas Christine Lagarde, die er vertrouwen in heeft: de euro wordt de nieuwe wreldmunt Hoe het nieuwe box-3-stelsel zelfs Elon Musk bereikt heeft Welke chatbot het Amerikaanse leger heeft gebruikt bij de ontvoering van de Venezolaanse president Maduro Te gast: Niels Koerts van Stockwatch. BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn. Sinds de eerste uitzending van BNR Beurs is 'ie er bij. Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij BNR Zakendoen en de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie. Van Musk tot Microsoft en van Ahold tot ASML. Wij vertellen je wat beleggers bezighoudt, wie de markten in beweging zet en wat dat betekent voor jouw beleggingsportefeuille.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The boys drink and review Ghost Stories, a smoked black lager from Burlington Beer Company, then discuss infrastructure. After the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, President Biden promised it would be rebuilt “as soon as humanly possible” — and immediately assumed the federal government would foot the bill. But why is that assumption now automatic? And what does it tell us about the state of American infrastructure policy?In this episode, we take a hard look at the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) as it enters its final year. Using publicly available data and government reporting, we break down what's actually happened versus what was promised.We discuss:* How infrastructure funding really works (authorized vs. obligated vs. outlaid)* Why “money spent” doesn't mean “projects finished”* What's moved fastest (roads and bridges) — and what's lagged badly (broadband and EV charging)* Whether the IIJA genuinely created jobs, or merely supported an already-hot labor market* Why so little of the infrastructure transformation is visible to ordinary Americans* What happens next as the law expires in 2026 and Washington pivots to reauthorization debatesWe also offer a clear scorecard for the IIJA so far — not as a partisan talking point, but as a reality check on how massive federal programs actually unfold over time.If you're wondering whether the Infrastructure Bill delivered, stalled, or quietly reshaped expectations about the federal government's role in rebuilding America, this conversation is for you.
The show starts with a review of the 2026 Nissan Leaf, which Benjamin tested out in the most wintery of conditions. How did the already limited range keep up with the low temperatures? And what about its handling of the snowy roads? Benjamin shares his experiences and more in this somewhat affordable EV. Then Sami tests out one of the bigger SUVs out there, the 2025 Ford Expedition Tremor. Able to haul 8 passengers and deal with off roading, this big truck-based family hauler has some cool new tech to discuss, and some worth nitpicking. Finally the show ends on a discussion about Mazdas new approach to their cars, namely cost cutting. Are they the only ones? Thanks for listening!

What's a “jock tax,” and why can a pro athlete be taxed by multiple states in a single season? In this episode, Peter and Cecil dig into the world of surprise taxes — the little-known fees and tax rules that can quietly hit your wallet. They start with California's so-called jock tax, using a Super Bowl quarterback example to show how states tax income earned within their borders. From there, the conversation branches into real-life surprises: professional license fees that pop up out of nowhere, federal excise taxes on new trucks, rental and tourist taxes that inflate travel costs, and annual EV registration surcharges that catch new owners off guard. True to form, the hosts keep it informal, curious, and listener-driven — sharing apologies, reading notes from the audience, and inviting you to send in your own surprise-tax stories. It's a practical, eye-opening look at how taxes show up in everyday life, often where you least expect them. #tdsrpodcast #SurpriseTaxes #JockTax #HiddenFees #EVfees #ExciseTax #PersonalFinance #TaxTalk #MoneyMatters #PodcastLife #FinancialLiteracy Connect with us:
Send a textThe bunker jokes stop and the wrenches come out fast: we're unpacking the EPA emissions rollback with a mechanic's eye and a traveler's wallet. If you run an RV, manage a small fleet, or just want your deliveries to arrive when it's 20 below, this conversation puts the headlines in context. We trace how California standards ripple across the country, why SCR and DEF systems burn extra fuel to “save” fuel, and how ultra-low-sulfur diesel robbed pumps of lubricity and raised repair costs. You'll hear the official EPA statement, then our take on what it could mean for trucks, power plants, and your monthly bills.We go deep on diesel tech—staged injection, DPF regens, EGR, and the parts that fail first—then stack it against real-world use cases. Electric vans lose range in heat and cold, the grid strains when temperatures swing, and heavy-duty routes still favor diesel for reliability and energy density. This isn't anti-EV; it's pro-fit. Use electric where cycles and climates work, and sharpen combustion where it doesn't. Engines have gotten radically cleaner through materials, controls, and timing—often without piling on hardware that breaks. The question is whether policy will now reward that smarter path instead of forcing expensive loops that don't survive winter.We also tackle the thorny stuff owners care about: whether deletes could become legal, what that means for warranties, and why you should box every part if you ever pull them. Expect pragmatic tips along the way—restoring lubricity in ULSD, managing regens, and keeping intake valves clean on GDI setups—so you can cut downtime while the rulebook keeps moving. If you buy, drive, fix, or depend on vehicles that keep the world moving, this is your field guide to the rollback's promises and pitfalls.Got the actual policy text?

In this episode of the podcast, Gary addresses common misconceptions and criticisms surrounding electric vehicles. He discusses various issues such as charging time, environmental impact, running costs, long-distance travel capabilities, charging infrastructure, grid capacity, vehicle pricing, and perceptions of EVs as 'real cars'. Throughout the conversation, he provides insights and counterarguments to these concerns, aiming to clarify the realities of owning and operating an electric vehicle.TakeawaysCharging an EV can be done while doing other activities.The environmental impact of EVs is less significant over time.Running costs of EVs can be lower than petrol cars in many cases.Long-distance travel is feasible with proper planning and infrastructure.Charging infrastructure has improved significantly in recent years.Grid capacity is being planned for the transition to electric vehicles.The price of electric vehicles has decreased over time.Perceptions of EVs as not being 'real cars' are outdated.Public charging costs vary widely and can be managed effectively.EVs offer a quieter and more efficient driving experience.

We are already rolling into 2026 at a 2 million-per-month pace for people on our news site. So, like, subscribe and share to help the Show grow from #4 in the world for Energy Podcasts as rated by FeedSpot.The main topics discussed in this podcast are:1. Ford and GM entering the energy storage market: - Ford and GM are leveraging their battery expertise to enter the energy storage market, aiming to own a slice of the value chain that supports EV grid stability and renewable integration. - The battery energy storage system market is booming, projected to reach $145 billion by 2027. - The podcast compares the financial performance of Ford, GM, and Tesla, highlighting that Tesla is generating more income despite lower revenue compared to Ford and GM.2. Nuclear fuel recycling: - There are benefits to recycling nuclear fuel, as spent fuel rods still contain 95% of their original power. - Recycling spent nuclear fuel could be a valuable resource, but the transcript discusses the regulatory challenges and the need for innovation in the nuclear industry.3. Alberta's potential independence: - The podcast discusses the push for Alberta's independence from Canada, driven by historical grievances and the desire to control their oil and gas resources. - It analyzes the potential financial viability of Alberta as an independent entity, considering factors like existing pipelines and oil royalties. - The podcast suggests that while Alberta could potentially thrive as an independent state, the likelihood of it actually happening is low.4. Rising electricity prices in the UK: - The podcast discusses warnings from the British Gas boss about UK electricity bills soaring by 2030, primarily due to system costs from years of underinvestment in the grid. - It criticizes the UK government's handling of the energy transition, highlighting the responsibility for high electricity prices and the need for a more responsible approach.5. Europe's energy challenges: - The podcast explores the "pending energy implosion" in Europe, where the intermittent nature of renewable energy has led to price volatility and reliance on expensive imports. - It provides examples of specific European countries, such as France and its challenges with maintaining its nuclear fleet, and the broader issue of deindustrialization due to the energy crisis. Here are the main topics discussed:**1. Ford and GM's Entry into Energy Storage**The automotive giants are expanding beyond vehicles into the battery energy storage market. This represents a strategic move to capture value in grid stability and renewable energy integration. The market is projected to reach $145 billion by 2027, and interestingly, Tesla is generating more income than Ford and GM despite lower revenue figures.**2. Nuclear Fuel Recycling**The discussion covers the potential of recycling spent nuclear fuel, which retains 95% of its original power. While this presents a valuable resource opportunity, the transcript highlights regulatory challenges and the need for innovation in the nuclear sector to make recycling viable.**3. Alberta's Potential Independence**The podcast examines the separatist movement in Alberta, driven by grievances over resource control and historical tensions. It analyzes the financial viability of Alberta as an independent entity, considering factors like existing pipelines and oil royalties, though concluding that actual independence is unlikely.**4. UK Electricity Price Crisis**British Gas leadership warns of soaring electricity bills by 2030, attributed to system costs from years of grid underinvestment. The discussion criticizes the UK government's energy transition approach and emphasizes the need for more responsible policy.**5. Europe's Energy Challenges**The podcast explores Europe's broader energy crisis, including intermittency issues with renewables, price volatility, expensive imports, and deindustrialization. France's nuclear fleet challenges are cited as a specific example of these systemic problems.1.Ford and GM Follow Tesla's Lead in the Energy Storage Race2.Recycling Nuclear Fuel Has Two Benefits, and One of Those Helps Energy Security3.Albertans Want their Independence, but what does that mean for the Energy Markets?4.British Gas Boss Warns UK Electricity Bills Will Soar by 20305.Ed Miliband and Vladimir Putin are the same, in terms of your electricity bill6.Europe's Pending Energy Implosion7.Oil and Gas Rig Count is Steady with Oil Rigs Down Three, Gas Rigs Up ThreeCheck Out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/A special shout-out to Steve Reese for sponsoring the Energy News Beat Stand Up https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1268: Today we cover Lithia's reluctance to sell Chinese brands in the U.S., Stellantis quietly bringing diesel back to Europe as EV demand cools, and how companies like Canva and Meta are now testing job candidates on how well they use AI instead of banning it.Show Notes with links: Lithia Motors CEO Bryan DeBoer signaled the company is not planning to be an early retailer of Chinese vehicles in the U.S. or Canada, citing the lack of a built-in service base to support long-term profitability.DeBoer said without an established fleet of vehicles on the road, new Chinese brands would not provide the recurring service traffic dealerships rely on.After-sales generated 41% of Lithia's gross profit in 2025 with a 58% gross margin.Lithia currently sells several Chinese brands in the U.K., including BYD, MG, Chery, Leapmotor and Jaecoo, across a “double-digit” number of stores.DeBoer said entering the U.S. market would require a broader partnership with a Chinese automaker, including greater control over after-sales operations and potentially pricing, in order to make the economics work without an existing service base.Stellantis is quietly reintroducing diesel engines across at least seven models in Europe, positioning the automaker against Chinese EV competitors and responds to sustained customer demand.Diesel accounted for just 7.7% of European new car sales in 2025, compared to 19.5% for fully electric vehicles, but remains a lower-cost alternative for high-mileage and towing customers.Chris Knapman, CarGurus UK editorial director: “If you're a European brand looking to differentiate yourself, diesel is an area where you could have a competitive advantage over those newer brands.”A growing number of companies are no longer trying to prevent candidates from using AI during interviews — they're encouraging it. Firms like Canva, Meta and McKinsey are redesigning hiring processes to evaluate how well applicants work with AI tools.Canva reworked technical interviews to allow — and expect — AI use, focusing on complex problems where candidates must show how they interact with the tool, not just the output.Candidates share their screens or submit AI chat transcripts so interviewers can evaluate judgment, iteration and decision-making.Arcade, an IT startup, now expects candidates to use AI in take-home exercises, emphasizing a candidate's “taste” and ability to refine AI-generated work.Meta is developing AI-assisted coding interviews, and McKinsey is piloting case interviews using its internal AI tool, Lilli.“What we're testing for now … is an ability to harness that power, to control that power — to kind of ride the dragon,” said Canva CTO Brendan Humphreys.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Lithium ion batteries power our everyday lives and are at the heart of the green electric revolution. But there's a very dirty story behind the clean image - the minerals and rare earths that go into making our phone and EV batteries are as geopolitically important as oil once was. Journalist Nicolas Niarchos' The Elements of Power starkly outlines the ravaging cost to the people and the environment where they're mined, and the global machinations by superpowers including China and the USA as they vye for world dominance. Nicolas Niarchos tells Susie extractive capitalism and its supply chain wreaks havoc across the globe, not least on the messy reality of a greener future.
