It goes on sale in South Korea next month and reaches Europe in the first half of 2027, with UK orders expected to open above £100,000.IMPORTER BRINGS CHINESE-MARKET AUDI EVS TO EUROPEAuto China is importing, homologating and registering Chinese-market AUDI E5 Sportback and E7X electric cars for European sale, undercutting Audi's own models — the 776hp E5 costs €28,000 less than the 543hp S6 Sportback e-tron — with a charging adapter and a two-year warranty through independent repairers. The risks include unclear parts supply, workshops unfamiliar with the cars, driver-assistance tuned for Chinese roads, and the precedent of Volkswagen suing over imported ID.6s in 2023, after which those cars were destroyed.68% OF AUSTRALIAN EV OWNERS FLAG CHARGING GAP IN NRMA SURVEYAn NRMA survey of 42,472 members, including 1,730 EV owners, found 68% of EV owners concerned about a lack of charging infrastructure, while purchase price and range anxiety are fading and EVs near cost parity with petrol cars over a vehicle's life. Fuel costs were the top worry for combustion drivers at 75%, and electrified vehicles took 49.16% of Australia's new-car market in Q2, including 69,414 battery electric vehicles.VOLVO'S EUROPEAN PLANTS TO BUILD GEELY BRANDS FROM 2028Geely Auto Group's new chief An Conghui says Volvo's European factories are expected to build luxury models for sibling brands such as Zeekr and Lynk & Co from 2028, with the 61-year-old Ghent plant in Belgium a likely candidate following an upgrade deal with the Belgian and Flemish governments. Building in Europe would sidestep the EU's 18.8% tariff on Geely's Chinese-built EVs and support the group's target of 1.5 million annual sales outside China.CHERY TO OPEN UK R&D CENTRE AT MILLBROOK IN LATE 2026Chery will open a research and development centre at UTAC Millbrook in Bedfordshire in late autumn 2026, starting with chassis and driver-assistance tuning for British roads before extending into autonomous driving and AI, alongside a pact with Nissan to explore building its UK cars at Sunderland. Chinese brands took about 16% of UK registrations in the first half, with the Jaecoo 7 the third best-selling vehicle overall at 23,840 units, up 184%.CHERY TO LAUNCH IN GERMANY IN 2027 WITHOUT AN EVChery is establishing its German headquarters at Frankfurt's Gateway Gardens and will launch the Chery brand in the first half of 2027 with four Tiggo SUVs, all hybrids or plug-in hybrids and no battery-electric model, despite EVs being Germany's fastest-growing powertrain. An electric Chery Q, compared with the Renault 5 E-Tech, will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October, as the group targets 30 dealers at launch and 100 by the end of 2027.HYUNDAI AND GENESIS DRIVERS GET IONNA CHARGING AT $0.31/KWHFrom 20 August, Hyundai and Genesis EV owners in the US can stack two 10% discounts on Ionna's $0.39/kWh base rate, cutting it to $0.31/kWh, with one discount expiring 30 September and the other continuing indefinitely. Sessions must be started through the car maker's app or Plug & Charge rather than the on-site card reader, and eligible models include the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, GV60 and Electrified GV70, but not the recently discontinued Ioniq 6.HYUNDAI AND KIA PARTNER WITH KALUZA ON SMART CHARGINGHyundai Motor Group has partnered with Kaluza to build smart charging into Hyundai and Kia EVs from August 2026, integrating with the Kia and myHyundai apps so drivers can set a ready-by time and charge on cheaper, cleaner power, launching in the UK first and then Australia. Vehicle-to-grid services are due from 2027, adding to Kaluza's existing work with Stellantis, Volvo, Volkswagen, Porsche and Mitsubishi Motors.DUTCH INSURER UNIVÉ RESTRICTS COVER FOR 14 CAR BRANDSUnivé, a Dutch insurer with over 1.8 million members, has restricted or excluded 14 car brands based on parts availability, repair information and access to qualified workshops, limiting Dongfeng, Lucid, Firefly, Nio and Zeekr to third-party liability and fully excluding Hongqi, Changan, Voyah, KGM, Leapmotor, VinFast, Jaecoo, MHero and Omoda. The brands took 3.6% of July's Dutch registrations, up from 1.0% a year earlier, and dealers call the warning heavily overblown, with Chery saying it holds more than 30,000 parts at Schiphol-Rijk.

David Brown and Paul Murrell examine how road-user charging could reshape Australian transport, including congestion, fairness and where the revenue goes. They consider curbside EV charging as public infrastructure, AI-powered robots in car dealerships and Mahindra's aggressive SUV discounts. Listener feedback covers Tesla ownership, battery health, low maintenance costs and Full Self-Driving, while concerns are raised about how employers recruit engineers. The program finishes with a road test of the new Toyota HiLux, including its design, equipment and increasingly rare manual gearbox. Episode Breakdown • Road-user charging - 00:01:34 • Curbside EV charging - 00:13:23 • Robots in car showrooms - 00:19:34 • Mahindra price cuts - 00:27:02 • Tesla ownership feedback - 00:38:08 • Engineering and transport planning - 00:44:30 • Toyota HiLux road test - 00:46:38 Full summary Road-user charging Australia moves towards road-user charging. David and Paul explore congestion pricing, dynamic charges, equity, public transport and why transparency over revenue will be critical. Curbside EV charging A UNSW paper argues curbside EV charging should be treated as critical infrastructure. The discussion covers apartment dwellers, grid demand, public kerb space and private investment. Robots in car showrooms Humanoid robots and AI could answer vehicle questions and guide buyers, but privacy, sales manipulation and stereotyping remain concerns. David questions whether a simple interactive screen would work better. Mahindra price cuts Mahindra cuts up to $10,000 from the XUV700, sharpening its value proposition. The hosts consider intense SUV competition and the risks that major discounts pose to resale values and brand confidence. Tesla ownership feedback A US Model Y owner reports remarkably low maintenance costs, regular software updates and strong battery health after four years, while praising Tesla's Full Self-Driving for long-distance travel. Engineering and transport planning A Transport for NSW recruitment ad prompts discussion about employers demanding experienced staff who can perform immediately, while apparently investing too little in developing younger engineers. Toyota HiLux road test The new HiLux retains its familiar ute character while adopting a squarer nose, updated equipment and all-terrain tyres. The test also considers the manual gearbox as that transmission becomes increasingly rare.

Winstone Jordaan was building charging infrastructure before South Africa had electric cars to plug into it. GridCars began developing its backend platform in 2010. The first EVs arrived in 2013. In this episode of Watts & Wheels with Wills, the GridCars founder tells William Kelly why the hardware was never the hard part. Working out where to put a charger and how much power to feed it is straightforward. Building the billing and roaming systems behind it is not. That is also the answer to a question drivers keep asking: why can't you just tap a card? Because the network needs to know who you are. If a charger is faulty, or the power is about to go off, Jordaan wants to be able to call you. He is candid in the interview about the economics of building a national EV charging network. A charge point operator needs around a thousand chargers to be profitable, by calculation. South Africa has roughly 650 in total. A 24-hour call centre alone takes seven people. Long term, he expects 500 000 chargers for a car parc of 11 million vehicles. Jordaan also thinks adoption is about to accelerate sharply, and that the disruption will reach well beyond motoring. He recently told one industry gathering that a third of the room would be out of business within five years. On charging infrastructure as a reason not to buy an EV, he is clear about one thing: there are enough chargers. Thinking otherwise, he says, is just being poorly informed. Don't miss the discussion.

Tell us what you think of the show! While some students enjoy summer break, their school buses are still hard at work. Rather than transporting pupils, they're hauling electrons and supporting the grid during critical periods of peak electricity demand.Such is one of the tantalizing promises of vehicle-to-grid, or V2G, technology, and it's far from fantasy. More than 30 utilities across 21 U.S. states currently have V2G school bus projects, from California to Connecticut, North Carolina up to Massachusetts. Since they can charge their beefy batteries of 200 kilowatt-hours or more when power prices are low, the peak-shavers-on-wheels are proving to be a valuable tool for utilities, especially as demand surges and affordability discussions grow louder. And applications go beyond buses. More broadly, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology enables batteries to communicate with and be discharged to external systems, whether that's an electric vehicle (EV) or something else. Such virtual power plant (VPP) programs are still in their infancy, and regulatory frameworks and standards to support them are far from established, but early studies are beginning to tease out the enticing possibilities for managing EV charging and smart battery dispatch.On this episode of the Factor This Policycast, the latest in a series presented in partnership with national business association Advanced Energy United, we dive into a world where smart charging plays a critical role in grid reliability and keeping electricity prices manageable. Host Paul Gerke leads a discussion between electrifying transportation policy principal Elizabeth Stears of Advanced Energy United and Leah Brams, market development manager at Highland Fleets, an electrification-as-a-service provider helping school districts, local governments, and commercial fleet owners affordably convert their traditional diesel vehicle fleets to EVs. They outline the policy reforms needed to unlock V2X's potential and identify the roadblocks to wider adoption. Brams and Stears identify how utilities can best leverage such technologies and share learnings from pilots- what works, what doesn't, and how we can refine policy to roll idling electric buses into peak-demand squashers.Energy policy on your mind?

In this episode  we are talking about electric vehicle charging and the challenge of creating the truly integrated and customer friendly charging network needed to support the growth of EVsMy guest  is Asif Ghafoor, chief executive of BE.EV, one of the UK's leading charging networks and someone who I'd say is pretty out there when it comes to honest appraisals of the state of the EV market and the fragmented "wild west” charging networks that now litter out towns cities and service stations. I last spoke to Asif on the podcast three years ago in Episode 24 back in July 2023 -  seems like yesterday! But BE.EV is now five years ago, and arguable since we last spoke the sector finally starting to grow up- less of the “I'll have a go” mentally; more strategic, customer and business focus.Certainly BE.EV is expanding and leading the charge. In February this year Asif completed a landmark acquisition of European energy giant Mer's UK public charging network, adding over 1,600 charging bays across 450+ sites and seeing the business effectively shift from its northern roots to become truly national networks with large numbers of charging sites added across the south and now boasting over 2,500 bays.And still backed by Octopus Energy Generation's Sky Fund, the company has established itself as the UK's second top-rated rapid and ultra-rapid charging network, combining an impressive 99% reliability rate with a deeply customer-centric approach.BE.EV also recently led a pioneering partnership with Leasing.com which integrated BE.EV directly into the consumer car-buying journey, demystifying public charging at the exact moment drivers choose their next vehicle.BE.EV's guiding philosophy remains fiercely simple: drivers shouldn't have to become charging experts.So let's explore the reality behind these claims and headlines, find out what's changed over the last five years and perhaps unpack how charging networks can actually still underpin the UK's low carbon future. ResourcesBE.EV websiteSMMT statisticsOctopus Energy GenerationEpisode 24 with Asif Ghafoor - "Building the EV revolution " - 2023Times interview with Asif

Is EV charging becoming an essential retail amenity?Electric vehicles have become impossible to ignore, but one of the biggest conversations isn't happening inside the car. It's happening in the parking lot.As EV adoption continues to grow, retail real estate is becoming an increasingly important part of the charging network. Chris Ressa sits down with Scott Levitan, Executive Vice President of Growth, and Lane Chaplin, Head of Real Estate and Retail Portfolio Partnerships at EVgo, to discuss what it really takes to build and operate one of the nation's largest public fast charging networks.Scott and Lane explain why shopping centers have emerged as the ideal home for fast charging, how customer behavior influences site selection, and why convenience means something entirely different in the EV world than it does at a traditional gas station. They also share how EVgo evaluates markets, partners with retailers and REITs, and navigates the challenges of permitting, utilities, and infrastructure that most consumers never see.The conversation also explores the current state of EV adoption, including charging costs, battery longevity, range improvements, and the growing used EV market that is making electric vehicles more accessible than ever. Along the way, Scott and Lane address many of the misconceptions that continue to shape public perception of EV ownership.For retail landlords, investors, and developers, the discussion offers valuable insight into what separates a sustainable charging operator from those that struggled during the industry's early years. From evaluating business models to understanding why some of the country's largest retailers and shopping center owners are expanding their EV strategies, this conversation highlights why charging infrastructure has become more than an amenity. It's becoming another way retail properties create value for both consumers and tenants.What You'll HearWhy shopping centers are becoming EV charging destinationsThe biggest myths about owning an electric vehicleWhy customer behavior drives site selectionHow EVgo chooses where to build nextWhat landlords should look for in a charging partnerWhy so many early charging companies failedThe rise of the used EV marketWhy the future of charging isn't the gas stationChapters00:00 — Welcome to EVgoMeet Scott Levitan and Lane Chaplin and learn how they entered the EV charging industry.03:14 — How EVgo is building the charging networkAn overview of EVgo's business and why retail real estate is central to its strategy.04:15 — Is owning an EV really cheaper?Charging costs, maintenance, range, and common misconceptions.08:27 — Why so many charging companies failedGovernment incentives, business models, and the industry's growing consolidation.11:36 — Charging standards and industry maturityHow compatibility has evolved and why standardization is improving.14:05 — The growth of the EV marketUsed EVs, battery durability, affordability, and where adoption is headed.23:42 — Why retail beats the gas station modelThe connection between charging time, dwell time, and shopping centers.30:15 — How EVgo chooses locationsMarket selection, customer demand, and building a nationwide network.35:14 — Rebuilding landlord trustLessons from early charging failures and what owners should look for today.38:45 — How long does an EV charging deal take?Construction timelines, utility delays, and power infrastructure.42:19 — Advice for retail landlordsChoosing the right charging partner and why sustainable business models matter.45:52 — What's next for EV charging?Why leading retailers and REITs are expanding their EV strategies

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1350: Today we're talking about Stellantis betting big on affordable vehicles and platform consolidation, NADA helping dealers put families on the road through a new national partnership, and Bojangles turning EV charging into a side of biscuits with its new “charge-and-dine” concept.Stellantis is laying out its “FaSTLAne 2030” plan, and for dealers, the headline is simple: more affordable metal is coming. The automaker says North America will get nine vehicles under $40,000 by 2030, with two slipping under the $30,000 mark.Stellantis' five-year, $70B plan sends 70% of global investment toward Jeep, Ram, Peugeot, Fiat and Pro One.In North America, Stellantis is targeting 25% revenue growth, 35% volume growth and 11 all-new vehicles.The company expects U.S. factory utilization to reach 80% by 2030, helped by increased domestic production.Globally, Stellantis plans to simplify 50% of its vehicles around three core platforms, including the new “STLA One” architecture designed to boost efficiency, lower costs and increase shared components across brands.CEO Antonio Filosa said, “FaSTLAne 2030 is the result of months of disciplined work across the company.”NADA and Vehicles for Change are teaming up nationally to help dealers put more families on the road to stability. The new partnership gives dealers a turnkey way to donate vehicles and support low-income families needing reliable transportation for work, childcare and daily life.NADA and Vehicles for Change will officially launch a national dealer partnership on May 27 in Pennsylvania.#1 Cochran Buick GMC will donate two vehicles to local families during the kickoff event as an example for dealers nationwide.The program includes a dealer “playbook” with step-by-step guidance for stores wanting to participate in their own communities.Vehicles for Change says it has already helped more than 8,200 families gain affordable transportation through its Keys to Independence program.NADA Chairman Rob Cochran said, “This event demonstrates the powerful impact dealers can have.”Bojangles is entering the EV charging game, turning fried chicken stops into charging stops. The chain just launched its first EV charging station in Savannah, Georgia, pitching a new “charge-and-dine” experience as it looks to expand chargers nationwide.The company partnered with XLR8 America and Energy and Environmental Design Services to bring level 2 and level 3 chargers to future locations.Bojangles says the goal is to transform charging downtime into a hospitality experience built around food, comfort and convenience.The company says its charging network is designed for more than 97% uptime as EV adoption continues to grow.CIO Richard Del Valle said, “This is about more than charging vehicles. It's about redefining the stop along the way.”“At XLR8 America, our philosophy is simple: charge where you park, not park where you charge,” XLR8 America CEO Frank O'Connor said. “Bojangles gets that. When a driver pulls in for a Bo-Berry Biscuit and the battery tops off while they dine, that's not a coincidence — that's the charge-and-dine experience made real.”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/

247 Another unscripted Sunday catch-up, and this time Roberto is behind the wheel of his new Mini Electric - loving every second of it - while Jon is still waiting for his Nissan to be returned after nine months in a dealership. Life is unfair. We cover a lot of ground this week, from a film you absolutely need to see to a battery technology that could change EVs forever.Today's conversation covers:•Jon's Nissan saga update - nine months since the car was towed for repairs and still no resolution; a surprise service appointment, a head mechanic who said things he definitely shouldn't have, and how filing a Financial Ombudsman case suddenly made Nissan very interested in picking up the phone•Mini Electric vs BMW M2 - Roberto drove the M2 to Sussex mid-week for speed and efficiency, but the car he keeps finding excuses to drive is the Mini; real-world range (150–170 miles), motorway behaviour, remote parking via phone, and why driving silently past school parents in idling Range Rovers is deeply satisfying•Project Hail Mary - both Roberto and Jon are evangelical about the Ryan Gosling sci-fi film; practical effects, an emotionally hopeful story, and why it might deserve a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar nomination; Roberto's slightly dodgy viewing arrangement and why he booked Odeon tickets anyway to clear his conscience•Solid-state battery breakthrough - Finnish startup Donut Lab claims the holy grail: a battery with 400Wh/kg energy density (roughly double current lithium-ion), a potential 5–8 minute full charge, unlimited lifespan, and performance unaffected by heat or cold; if it works, this is the tipping point that makes petrol cars obsolete•Cheshire road trip in the Mini - Roberto is planning to drive the Mini Electric up to Rookery Hall and the Bentley factory visit on 18th May and film the whole thing as a road trip vlog; expect at least two charging stops and a revisit of the earlier road trip format•Books & tech - Jon has finished the Walter Isaacson Steve Jobs biography (spoiler: sad ending) and moved on to Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shards of Earth; the Lego Game Boy gets a playable upgrade via the BrickBoy Kickstarter mod; Jon is deep into Final Fantasy VII Integrade on the Nintendo Switch 2•James Bond - First Light & casting rumours - the IO Interactive Bond game (007: First Light) is roughly six weeks away and Roberto cannot wait, given IO's pedigree on the Hitman series; Louis Partridge (22) is being linked to the role of a younger, prequel-era Bond, and the lads debate whether the whole franchise is heading in a prequel direction while waiting for Denis Villeneuve to wrap Dune•Cinema vs streaming - films are leaving cinemas faster than ever, screens can't fit as many runs of longer films, and both agree Project Hail Mary deserves to be seen again on IMAX - which may well return later in the year

John Casmon interviews Ben Kanner, founder of Three V Infrastructure, about the growing intersection between EV charging and multifamily real estate. Ben shares his journey from subprime mortgages to Deutsche Bank portfolio management and eventually into renewable infrastructure, where he identified a major financing gap in EV charging for commercial properties. He explains why EV charging should be viewed primarily as an amenity rather than a direct NOI driver and how operators can use it to attract higher-income renters, increase rents, and reduce turnover. Ben breaks down EV adoption trends, noting that while U.S. penetration still trails global markets, adoption continues to rise—especially with more affordable EV models and a wave of used Teslas entering the market. For multifamily owners, the key isn't just installation, but proper underwriting based on EV registration data, demographic trends, and projected utilization. Three V Infrastructure offers a no-upfront-cost model where they fund, install, own, and manage the chargers, taking utilization risk and only profit-sharing after recouping their capital and a threshold return.

Read our deal analysis on PaladinPaladin Power CEO Ted Thomas—a U.S. Navy veteran with 20+ years in energy storage and the named inventor on multiple U.S. patents for stackable batteries and integrated power systems—joins Inside Startup Investing to explain how he helped pioneer integrated storage and why Paladin's patented, fire-safe, all-in-one system can make true home energy independence practical. We cover why the inverter is the real bottleneck, how Paladin's stackable 10 kW architecture fast-charges EVs and extends battery life, and how the single-device design replaces a tangle of inverters, batteries, and chargers for faster installs and lower cost. Ted shares traction (incl. enterprise wins like Disney), a revenue jump from < $1M to $7–$8M this year with $20M+ in sight, “Made in USA” manufacturing with Jabil, and what's next as Paladin pushes a decentralized power future.News: Paladin engages Aegis Capital Corp. for IPO advisory while it evaluates capital-markets options—no assurance of any IPO; timing/terms subject to market, regulatory and due-diligence outcomes.Chapters(00:00) We open with why batteries remain the bottleneck for EVs and home solar, and how Paladin's inverter-first architecture changes the equation; (03:28) Ted outlines the mission—make every home independent from the grid—plus why legacy systems were designed for grid-tie, not true autonomy; (06:58) we break down the bi-directional, stackable inverters (up to 80 kW in a compact footprint) and how routing solar directly to loads can double battery life; (09:15) cost and efficiency: delivering 30–60% lower system costs versus status-quo builds; (10:29) scaling: U.S. manufacturing with a contract partner, and why distribution/EPC channels are the fastest path to market; (12:00) whole-home power without load shedding, faster installs, and sub-90-minute at-home EV charging; (13:21) IP and moats: utility patents and why copycats face multi-year certification delays; (15:34) use cases and demand drivers—from Disney facilities to homeowners facing rising rates and outages; (20:56) generators vs storage: when backup gensets still make sense and when solar-plus-storage wins; (22:46) Ted's closing case for investors.

In this special episode of The EV Ready Podcast, hosts Justin Ries and John Gilbrook talk with Nick Trout from Sourcewell to explore how cooperative purchasing helps state and local governments, schools, and nonprofits streamline EV and energy management projects while cutting costs and reducing risk. How Cooperative Purchasing Accelerates EV Charging and Energy Management for Public Entities Using Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing model, public entities can bypass lengthy, resource‑intensive RFP processes and move faster on critical EV and energy management projects. By leveraging competitively solicited contracts like EVready's Sourcewell award, agencies gain access to pre-vetted vendors, transparent pricing, and contract terms that already meet procurement and compliance requirements.​ For state and local governments, school districts, and nonprofits, this structure: Reduces administrative burden Shortens procurement timelines Lowers the risk associated with selecting new EV and energy management partners Instead of writing their own complex solicitations, buyers can “piggyback” on Sourcewell's competitively bid contracts, allowing them to focus on planning and implementing EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification strategies that align with budget and sustainability goals

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1217: Ionna ramps up charging despite slumping EV demand, VW rethinks its electric strategy with range extenders, and a Waymo ride turns into a delivery room as a newborn arrives before first responders.Show Notes with links:Ionna—the eight-automaker EV charging company—keeps speeding up its nationwide charging ambitions even as EV demand cools. With reliability still a major pain point for buyers, the group is betting big that better infrastructure will unlock future EV sales and stabilize the retail market.The JV plans 30,000 charging bays by 2030, aiming to rival Tesla's Supercharger network in quality and convenience.49 stations are already open, with 1,200 bays open or under construction and 4,000 sites under contract.Tesla still dominates fast charging and is projected to grow to 69,000 plugs by 2030, but analysts expect Ionna to secure the No. 2 spot.Automakers view the investment as essential, especially as federal incentives shrink and consumer hesitancy grows around public charging reliability.“If we're successful, we think this will unlock the market in terms of folks wanting to buy an EV, because now they have a network that goes with it,” said CEO Seth Cutler.After early promises with the ID.4, demand for VW EVs has softened, models are being pulled, and prices are heading in the wrong direction. Now VW is eyeing gas-assisted EVs as a potential lifeline.The ID.7 has been scrapped for North America, and the ID. Buzz has underperformed, pushing some models from big markups to nearly $20,000 discounts.VW says consumer demand will dictate where and when range-extended models appear, noting the concept is already reserved for future platforms.As Ford CEO Jim Farley put it, range extenders deliver EV driving “without range anxiety… and comparable to an ICE vehicle in terms of cost.”A routine autonomous ride turned into a delivery room when a pregnant passenger in San Francisco gave birth in the back of a Waymo. The car still made it to the hospital — just a little more “occupied” than when it started.Waymo detected “unusual activity” and called to check in, then alerted 911 once it realized a birth was underway.The vehicle reached UCSF Hospital before first responders could catch up, marking at least the second baby ever born in a Waymo.“We're proud to be a trusted ride for moments big and small… serving riders from just seconds old to many years young,” Waymo said.Thank you to today's sponsor, Mia.
