Pete Bigelow, Senior Reporter, Automotive News joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Detroit's future in autonomy. When GM shutdown Cruise, did they end Detroit's autonomous future?GM has a pattern of getting to the one-yard line and fumbling with innovations like the EV1, skateboard architecture and now Cruise. As the fundamental challenges facing legacy automakers only increase, is Detroit on the verge of becoming Foxconn City?GM's decision making has direct parallels to IBM's decline in tech innovation. Could GM be following the same path as IBM? Only time will tell, but serious questions remain about GM and Detroit's ability to compete in an increasingly software-driven, autonomous automotive future.Recorded on Monday, December 16, 2024Episode Chapters0:00 Detroit's Future in Autonomy5:22 Dan Ammann's Cruise Strategy9:49 December 16, 202412:22 Autonomy Tailwinds14:20 User/Driver Experiences17:37 Does Detroit Become Foxconn City?19:58 Is GM Afraid of Change?29:22 Is GM the new IBM?35:30 Could Waymo License the Origin from GM?39:47 Economics of Autonomous Vehicle Rides41:57 LiDAR Market45:04 Human in the Loop--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy® is a leading source of data, insight and commentary on autonomous vehicles/trucks and the emerging autonomy economy™.Sign up for This Week in The Autonomy Economy newsletter: https://www.roadtoautonomy.com/autonomy-economy/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Revolutionary EV1: Igniting Change November 15As the late 1990s saw a surge in concerns over environmental sustainability and the impact of traditional automobiles, General Motors boldly embarked on a revolutionary journey with the introduction of the EV1—an electric vehicle marking a significant milestone in automotive history. Launched November 14, 1996, the EV1 was far more than just a car; it was a daring statement about the future of transportation.In an era when electric vehicles were mere fledglings, GM seized the reins, crafting a car that challenged the status quo and carved a path toward a greener automotive future. The EV1's design and technology were undeniably ahead of their time. Its sleek aerodynamic body resembled a futuristic two-seater coupe, while its lightweight aluminum frame bolstered efficiency. Equipped with advanced features such as regenerative braking, which transformed kinetic energy back into electricity to extend its range, the EV1's electric motor delivered impressive acceleration and boasted an admirable range on a single charge—especially considering the era's technological limitations.Although innovative in design and well-received by those fortunate enough to drive it, the EV1 faced challenges and controversies. Limited range, concerns over battery technology, and high production costs led GM to restrict EV1 production. Furthermore, the decision to lease rather than sell outright contributed to exclusivity and uncertainty among customers. Ultimately, in 2003, GM made the contentious decision to recall and crush most leased EV1s, sparking criticism from both EV enthusiasts and environmentalists.The reasons cited for the EV1's demise included high maintenance costs, challenges in servicing limited production vehicles, and a belief that advancements in hybrid technology would eclipse all-electric vehicles. Yet its legacy endures. The trailblazing EV1 reshaped perceptions about electric vehicles, showcasing their potential for sleekness, efficiency, and mainstream use. In doing so, it inspired other automakers to invest in electric technology.In retrospect, the GM EV1 set the stage for the electric vehicle revolution now sweeping the automotive industry. Lessons learned from the EV1 experience, both technologically and in terms of society's shift toward sustainable transportation, continue to influence modern electric cars. Today, electric vehicles are no longer a niche concept but a growing segment of the automotive market, and the EV1 played an indispensable role in igniting this transformation.www.nodrivinggloves.com#cars #car #collectorcars #oldcars #cartalk #electriccars #ev #hotrod #carhistory #automotivehistory #automobile #thisdayinautomotivehistory #thisdayinhistory #classiccars #onthisday #NaPodPoMo #ev1 #ithappenedtoday #tesla
For most of his career, Tony Posawatz was a highly successful engineer working in GM's lucrative truck division. That meant big rigs powered by gasoline and diesel engines. Then one day in 2006 GM's top leadership appointed him to lead a breakthrough initiative. "Build us an electric car that will make people forget all about the Toyota Prius," they said. GM had taken a shot at an all-electric vehicle in the 1990s called the EV1. Tony and his team of top notch GM engineers knew that the way to beat the Prius was to go electric. But range anxiety was an issue. So, they got inventive and designed a propulsion system that featured both an electric battery and a gasoline engine. This set-up, in time, would become known as a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or a PHEV. That product, which debuted 11 years ago, served as a bridge to a barrage of pure electrics like the Tesla Model 3, the Hyundai IONIQ, the Mustang Mach E, the Rivians and the Lucids now hitting the market today. How far along have we advanced on the path to electrics. And how much work still remains to be done before we reach electric nirvana?
Cory invites Ken Stewart, CEO of Bright Road and former General Motors exec, on to the podcast to chat about NACS adoption, the political complexity of the global EV industry, and how he was forced to bring the EV1 project to an untimely end.

Today, we look into the world of suppressed technologies; electric cars killed before their time, alternate, sustainable power that could solve the energy crisis and more. Why are they being swept under the rug? Why is humanity suffering without these advancements?Intro: Spooky Window by @simmodavisSocials: www.facebook.com/thespookywindowwww.instagram.com/thespookywindowwww.twitter.com/spookywindowWe also have tiktok!Tom: @mad_scientist_so_coolBelle: @belindawolfelauthorOutro:Ethernight Club by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/7612-ethernight-clubLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
In an age where gas-powered vehicles account for nearly half of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, electric vehicles are a way to help slow global warming. Over the last decade, the EV industry grew by leaps and bounds and Tesla has arguably done more for the industry than any other company. But the next big thing for EVs… might be making them smaller.In this episode, Wally Rippel remembers gazing out his classroom window at the air pollution hanging over LA one smoggy day and how that led to building what would become GM's infamous EV1. Then Wim Ouboter recalls how his homemade push scooter started a chain of events that inspired him to build a miniature electric bubble car named the Microlino.In 1968, Wally converted an old VW microbus to electric drive and raced it across the country. By 1990, he was designing the prototype for the world's first commercially available electric vehicle of the modern era. It had the design, it had the buzz. But most EV1s ended up in the crusher and some believe GM sabotaged their own project.Wim's Microlino is an extension of the work done by Wally and other EV pioneers. It embodies the ‘micro-mobility' philosophy he first imagined while building his scooter empire and has environmental benefits that bigger EV's can't match.For more information, visit setapp.com/podcast

Pop culture tells us that a conspiracy is what killed GM's EV1 in 2002. But is an exotic explanation really needed?
¡Cuántas veces he oído que el coche eléctrico es lo último en tecnología! Pues es falso, el coche eléctrico es anterior al de explosión. O que los taxis urbanos deberían ser eléctricos… como lo eran en Nueva York en 1909… O que no hay camiones eléctricos … y se olvidan de los camiones españoles Autarquía. Y así, hasta 10… La Unión Europea, que quiere convertirse en adalid de la ecología, dice que hay que acabar con los modernos y eficaces coches híbridos enchufables, aún a costa de encarecer los coches y perjudicar a nuestra propia industria, al tiempo que declara “sostenibles” y, por tanto, con derechos a beneficios fiscales a las centrales nucleares y a las centrales eléctricas movidas con gas… ¿No es ésta una gran mentira? 1. Son los más modernos. ¡FALSO! Se considera generalmente como el primer automóvil el Benz 1 Motorwagen de 1885. Pues bien, en 1834, el profesor holandés Sibrandus Stratingh y su asistente Christopher Becker crearon un automóvil eléctrico alimentado por baterías no recargables. Pero cuando en 1852 se crearon las baterías recargables se dio un impulso total al coche eléctrico. 2. No eran fáciles de vender. ¡FALSO! El fabricante austriaco de carruajes Jacob Lohner, en 1890, estaba convencido que la era de los carruajes tirados por caballos llegaba a su fin y pensaba que se vendería mejor un coche eléctrico, y así fue, pues a muchos clientes potenciales no les gustaban los humos ni el ruido de los primeros coches con motor de combustión interna. El Egger-Lohner P1 capaz de alcanzar 34 km/h y recorrer hasta 79 km con una carga sería todo un éxito de ventas. 3. Tesla, la primera marca americana 100x100 eléctrica. ¡FALSO! Entre 1906 y en 1908 la Oliver P. Fritchle Company abrió su primera tienda en Colfax Avenue, Denver. Su modelo denominado “One Hundred Mile Fritchle” podía recorrer hasta 160 km en llano tras recargar su batería toda la noche. Los pedidos empezaron a llegar desde todos los rincones del país. 4. Aceleran pero no corren. ¡FALSO! El belga Camille Jenatzy con su coche eléctrico “La Jamais Contente” fue en 1899 el primer ser humano en superar los 100 km/h sobre tierra y a partir de ahí empezaría una lucha por ser el más rápido sobre ruedas. Esto demostraba los progresos del automóvil eléctrico. 5. Su cuota de mercado era baja. ¿Seguro? ¡FALSO! Ahora sí es baja, muy baja en general, pero en el año 1900 la cuota de mercado de los eléctricos en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica era de más del 25 por ciento. 6. Nunca ha habido “electrolineras” suficientes. ¡FALSO! Es una vergüenza que ahora, que nuestros políticos quieren meternos los eléctricos a la fuerza, no sea fácil recargar. Pero a comienzos del Siglo XX los automóviles eléctricos representaban el tercio del parque móvil de grandes ciudades como Nueva York, Boston o Chicago. 7. Empezaron bien, pero no se sabe porque desaparecieron. ¡FALSO! En los USA sobre todo los coches eléctricos eran muy numerosos, apreciados y tenían una importante cuota de mercado. ¿Qué acabó con ellos? No tiene ningún misterio, la causa de su desaparición tiene nombre y apellidos: Ford T. 8. Hasta el S.XXI ninguna marca había invertido. ¡FALSO! Hay muchos ejemplos, pero ¿nadie se acuerda del EV1? General Motors fue el primero de los grandes fabricantes en atreverse comercialmente con un coche eléctrico, el EV1. En realidad, era una prueba piloto en la que solo los clientes de California, Arizona y Georgia podían acceder al EV1 mediante leasing vía concesionarios Saturn. En 1996 comenzó la fabricación del EV1. Hasta 2003, se fabricaron tan sólo 1.117 unidades. 9. No ha habido camiones eléctricos. Pues sí… y españoles, entre otros. Porque después de la Guerra Civil, la situación en España era muy complicada y los carburantes para automóviles escaseaban, eran muy caros y había que agudizar el ingenio. Se usaba el gasógeno que era poco eficiente. A finales de 1942 el ingeniero militar Guillermo Menéndez de Aulestia fundó en Barcelona la marca Autarquía y consiguió que el Gobierno de España la declarase de interés nacional. La marca quería fabricar y vender exclusivamente vehículos eléctricos. 10. Los híbridos son un invento reciente. Recientísimo… de 1900. Esto es ¡FALSO! ¿Habéis oído hablar del Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus? Hace más de 120 años Ferdinand Porsche, con solo 24 añitos, ya diseño un modelo híbrido que fue todo un éxito. Técnicamente Porsche lo que hizo fue poner un motor térmico acoplado a una dinamo que alimentaba un motor eléctrico… o sea, lo mismo que el Nissan Note e-Power que arrasa en Japón o el Qashqai e-power.. Conclusión. Estas son las mentiras “históricas” pero si os parece podemos hacer un vídeo de las mentiras “actuales”…. Pero seguro que me salen más de 10.

GM recently announced a feature standard in its Ultium-based EVs that captures and repurposes waste energy from the battery. Through the Ultium Platform's energy recovery system, this recovered energy can increase a vehicle's range, reduce battery energy needed for heating, increase charging speed and even enable sportier driving. EV batteries, power electronics and other propulsion components produce heat. The Ultium Platform can recover and store this waste heat from the Ultium propulsion system. Further, it can also capture and use humidity from both inside and outside the vehicle, including body heat from passengers. The Ultium Platform can then deploy energy stored through the recovery process to heat the cabin more quickly in cold weather than comparable systems found in vehicles with an internal combustion engine.Ultium's energy recovery capabilities reduce the need to power heating and other functions from energy stored in the battery, which provides GM's EVs with as much as 10% more range, potentially allowing more power and range than vehicles with similarly sized batteries without energy recovery capabilities. With its active heating capabilities, Ultium vehicles can also potentially charge more efficiently by warming up the batteries before charging. Ultium's energy recovery even enables GMC HUMMER EV's available Watts to Freedom feature. Energy recovery precools the propulsion system to help the all-electric supertruck accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 3 seconds. Covered by 11 patents and four publications, the development of Ultium energy recovery traces its inception back to GM's first EV, the EV1, in the late 1990s, when GM engineers first developed an EV heat pump. Ultium energy recovery is available on all current Ultium vehicles and planned for future Ultium vehicles.
Show #1446 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 25th April, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. VOLKSWAGEN MAKES CHARGING EASIER AND MORE CONVENIENT - The volume brands Volkswagen, Cupra/Seat and ŠKODA are now offering simple tariffs for public charging, allowing customers to charge at fixed kilowatt-hour prices throughout the entire charging network. With this step, the company creates optimal cost transparency. - In the future, customers will have the choice between three basic tariffs, each with fixed prices per kilowatt hour charged. The new tariffs apply to customers of We Charge (Volkswagen), Powerpass (ŠKODA), Easy Charging (SEAT/CUPRA) and Elli and offer top conditions for Ionity fast chargers, among other benefits. - Depending on the country, prices can be different, but always follow the same logic.02 Elli, our in-house brand, which is responsible for all activities in the Group around the topic of charging & energy is the backbone of the offer. - charging stations will be highlighted in the e-cars navigation system and drivers will be offered the option of choosing to drive there. The quality criteria will include reliability, weather protection and if there is a catering option. This means that customers will be able to target charging stations with a canopy and coffee offering. The program is scheduled to start later this year. - Another component of the quality offensive is the market launch of Plug&Charge. The function will be activated from the middle of the year via a software update in all e-cars of the volume brands based on the MEB architecture. The vehicle identifies itself at the corresponding charging stations using the ISO 15118 standard and automatically starts the charging process. Plug&Charge is supported by IONITY, Aral/bp, E.ON and Iberdrola Original Source : https://www.volkswagen-newsroom.com/en/press-releases/quality-offensive-volkswagen-makes-charging-easier-and-more-convenient-7902 RIVIAN R1T CAN NOW CHARGE AT UP TO 500 AMPS WITH NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE - the latest 2022.11.02 software update for the Rivian R1T all-electric pickup, released this month and examined by Out of Spec Reviews. - Kyle Conner, among various changes, Rivian has increased the maximum DC fast charging current from 450 A to 500 A, which is expected to slightly increase the rate of range replenishing. - Now, we saw that it can take 498 A right away at a low state-of-charge, which combined with around 400 V is over 200 kW - 204 kW at 14% SOC to be specific. The peak (according to the charger's display) was about 217 kW, above 40% SOC. That's actually very close to the 210 kW peak value declared in technical papers. Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/581819/rivian-r1t-500a-charging-software-update/ HEAT PUMPS INCLUDED IN GM EVS COULD GIVE THEM A REAL-WORLD RANGE ADVANTAGE - GM confirmed Monday that it plans to include heat-pump technology in all of its current and upcoming Ultium-platform electric vehicles. - That includes the Hummer EV now being delivered and the soon-arriving Cadillac Lyriq, plus many more to arrive in the next several years. In them, the tech will help recover low-level waste heat in ways that can add up in meaningful ways—bringing them quicker acceleration, faster charging, and a longer range - the one in GM EVs employs a compressor-and-evaporator component system and a specially chosen refrigerant that undergoes a phase change. A physical reaction pays off in the release of energy as it goes from gas to liquid—to in effect amplify whatever energy it can scavenge along the way. - That extra can go toward cabin heating, low-level electrical functions, or even preconditioning of the battery—potentially extending range by as much as 10%. Original Source : https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1135681_heat-pumps-included-in-gm-evs-could-give-them-a-real-world-range-advantage GM INTRODUCES NEW ENERGY-SAVING FEATURE FOR EVS - “Having a ground-up EV architecture gives us the freedom to build in standard features like Ultium's energy recovery capabilities,” said Doug Parks, GM executive vice president, global product development, purchasing and supply chain. “This helps us squeeze more efficiency, performance and overall customer benefit out of our EVs.” - Ultium's energy recovery even enables GMC Hummer EV's Watts to Freedom feature. Energy recovery pre-cools the propulsion system to help the all-electric supertruck accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 3 seconds.

He declined to disclose when the all-electric Corvette would be released or whether the “electrified” model would be a traditional hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. - GM's confirmation of the electrified Corvettes comes amid increased pressure from Wall Street for legacy automakers to better compete against EV industry leader Tesla. It also comes a day before GM's crosstown rival, Ford Motor, is scheduled to host an event for its electric F-150 Lightning pickup, which has received significant attention from investors and media.

Dans les années 90, la Californie fait voter une loi obligeant les constructeurs à vendre des voitures électriques. General Motors investit 1 milliard de dollars pour développer sa première voiture électrique produite en série. La voiture est lancée, mais les patrons de GM font tout pour ne pas la vendre. Voici l'histoire rocambolesque de l'EV1, celle qui aurait pu donner dix ans d'avance à GM.
This episode, Stu speaks to Chris Paine, the filmmaker who brought us THE EV films that marked a movement -- Who Killed the Electric Car and Revenge of the Electric Car! Chris offers up insider insight on favorite moments in these films along with a lively discussion of his craft. The argument can be made that without these films, and the awareness they brought, the EV movement may only be a shadow of what it is today. Are those two films enough? Will it be a trilogy?

Ah, the 1990s: grunge music, NBA basketball golden days, “Hammer-pants”, the rise of the Spice Girls and, of course, General Motors' futuristic, all-electric EV1.Actually, in the 1990s the abundance of electric-powered devices, transportation… anything was limited to the stuff you'd plug into the wall. Kettles, toasters and microwaves in and near the kitchen, hairdryers near the bathroom…The idea of long-range, high-capacity lithium-ion battery tech was pretty cutting edge, and expensive. Granted our Sharp MD-MS722 MiniDisc player had a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in it, but that was the latest thing fresh out of Japan.However, battery tech back then was still a long way from where we are today. For example, if you wanted to power a house for a day in the 1990s using lithium-ion battery tech, you'd have needed to be filthy rich. It would have cost around $75,000 for a battery that would weigh about 113kg and be about the size of a beer keg.Today, it would cost about $2,000 and weigh just 40kg.So in 30 years the cost of lithium-ion tech has cratered (in a good way) and the actual cost of lithium has also radically fallen.However, while 30 years is a relatively short period of time to see such progression, what investors want to know today is this: why on earth has the price of lithium increased over five-fold in the last year?Does this mean that we'll be heading back to cost per kilowatt-hour of the 1990s? Is the 1990s revival extending past fashion and into the resources sector?Or does the availability of better and more efficient tech help keep those costs down?Furthermore, as an investor, when you see the price of lithium skyrocket like this, how do you play it?Do you look to the domination and control of the market by the big miners and producers? Or do you work your way down the size scale (and up the risk scale) to the junior lithium miners?When the survival of a penny-stock lithium miner rests on a successful set of assay results or feasibility study, you can be assured of a roller-coaster ride…So do you onboard risk for potential riches, or play the “safer” game by sticking with the big boys?We dive into why lithium is skyrocketing, what it means and how to play it as an investor in today's Exponential Investor Podcast.And we find out what are three key things Kit Winder looks for when picking out the good from the bad in the junior lithium mining sector… a must watch for any prospective lithium investor!Find out in this episode of the Exponential Investor Podcast.For more expert financial analysis from the Exponential Investor team, go to: https://www.exponentialinvestor.com/

How is charging your car different from pulling up at a gas station? Is anybody taking care of the customer (and customer safety) at those dark out-of-the-way public charging stations? And why is Tesla several times better than everyone else when it comes to the charging experience? In this episode of Driving With Dunne, we get together with two highly respected experts in electric vehicles: Chelsea Sexton and John Voelker. Chelsea has been there for the very beginning of EVs in America. She was deeply involved in America's very first electric vehicle, the EV1. Later she was featured in the Netflix blockbuster documentary named Who Killed the Electric Car? John Voelcker has test driven virtually every EV sold in America. And he knows scores of EV charging stations intimately. Wall Street Journal auto columnist Dan Neil calls John "the inimitable'' expert on EVs and that moniker suits Voelker well. You will learn a lot listening to Chelsea and John. And you are bound to find yourself getting a chuckle from some of their takes on EV realities in 2022. #DrivingWithDunne / #ZozoGo https://twitter.com/Dunne_ZoZoGohttps://www.instagram.com/zo.zo.go/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-dunne-a696901a/
Na drogach zima - to sprawdzian dla ogumienia w naszych samochodach. Czy opony do samochodu elektrycznego różnią się czymś od tych do spalinowego? Jak to jest z oponami wielosezonowymi? Czy za zielonymi technologiami w produkcji aut podążają też producenci opon? Gościem "Szybkich wózków" był Paweł Skrobisz z Continental Opony Polska, który opowiedział na te pytania. Wspominaliśmy też pierwszy seryjny samochód GM, który trafił do klientów równo 25 lat temu. Co się stało z EV1 wizjonerskim projektem amerykańskiego koncernu? Były też polecanki książkowe, bo za rogiem święta.

Welcome to new PATREON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER REALTERS CHOICE PHOTOGRAPHY VW WORKERS URGE FASTER EV ROLLOUT "Volkswagen's (VW) main plant in Wolfsburg might face historically low output this year and needs a faster shift toward electric vehicles to remain competitive, according to the German automaker's top labour officials." reports News24.com: "The rollout of electric car, Trinity, due in 2026 may be too late, according to VW officials. Furthermore, a global chip shortage also happens manufacturing at Wolfsburg. Due to the persistent scarcity of semiconductor chips, the output at Wolfsburg this year could even fall below the level of 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic pushed production to just below 500 000 cars, according to VW's works council. VW's initial goal agreed in a labour pact five years ago was to make at least 820 000 vehicles in Wolfsburg last year." https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/industrial/vw-workers-urge-faster-electric-vehicle-rollout-at-worlds-largest-biggest-car-factory-20211002 MERCEDES-BENZ GIVES SMALLER 60 KWH BATTERY TO EVITO TOURER, EQV "The Mercedes-Benz eVito Tourer (the all-electric variant of the Metris Passenger Van sold in the US) and the more luxurious EQV are getting a new battery pack option. Up until now, both models came with a 100 kWh battery (90 kWh usable), so is Mercedes-Benz giving them an even bigger pack for more range? Well, no. Actually, the new battery option has a 60 kWh net capacity, enabling a range of 217–239 kilometers (135-148 miles) on the eVito Tourer." says InsideEVs: "The standard fast charging function has an output of 50 kW, but an 80 kW option is also possible, in which case the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. Mercedes-Benz argues that the smaller battery will appeal to customers “who cover easy-to-plan routes or who only drive short distances, such as in school transport operations.” Furthermore, it should also be interesting for those buyers looking for a weight saving of 150 kg (330 lbs) and a corresponding payload increase. Last but not least, the 60 kWh battery drives the eVito Tourer's price down by approximately €3,600 ($4,175) compared to the equivalent 90 kWh model (€60,678 versus €64,248)."

During the tests, the electric trucks tackled a total of 54,000 metres of altitude. The highest point of the trip was reached during measurement runs at the Kaunertal Glacier, at a height of 2,750 metres. In order to validate the trucks' performance and durability, the testing engineers at Mercedes-Benz Trucks then subjected the electric vehicles, which were loaded to their gross vehicle weight of 27 tonnes, to an extremely gruelling series of tests in the area surrounding Bolzano, South Tyrol. The Alpine terrain enabled the engineers to make particularly extensive use of the vehicles' energy recovery feature, which can be exploited by driving with foresight. Series production of the eActros will start at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth at the beginning of October 2021.

The first version of the software was created by the Audi Brussels quality management department for testing the Audi e-tron's battery, and then received further work from VW Group Components at Salzgitter, which is the site of VW's new battery laboratories. The device first checks whether a given battery is able to communicate, after plugging in the low-voltage connectors. BattMan then detects and brings up any error messages present, in addition to the insulation resistance, temperatures, cell voltages, and capacity."

"In issue one of T3, we reported on the release of the EV1, a fully electric car from General Motors, one of America largest automobile manufacturers. The sleek two-door, two-seater is generally regarded as the first mass-produced EV available to the public. It had a 0-60 time of around 8.4 seconds and a range of between 70 and 100 miles – and up to 140 miles for the second generation model. (BMW's i3 will only do around 150 and that was released in 2013.)" says T3: "The EV1 launched in 1996, with the improved model II appearing in 1999.

My conversation with Debbie Levin was one of my favorite conversations this year. Some notes from our conversation: Debbie went to USC film school and wanted to be a film critic. She did celebrity interviews that she got just by calling them. These included George Segal, Richard Dreyfuss and Henry “the Fonz” Winkler. The Environmental Media Association, which Debbie has spent her career with was started by Norman Lear and Alan Horn. Debbie's good friend is Wendie Malick who starred on Just Shoot Me! I mentioned Ed Begley Jr. who was on a documentary about the EV1, Who Killed the Electric Car. Debbie told a story about Ed riding his bicycle to the Oscars. Debbie convinced Wendie Malick to get David Spade to host the 10thanniversary of the EMA awards ceremony with her. Debbie helped build the brand around the EMA by recruiting Amy Smart to help out (She later set Amy up with her future husband.) Debbie mentioned not knowing what a Step and Repeat is…in case you don't either. So I told Debbie I don't love the paper straw but that I had used a straw made of pasta which we both agreed was genius. So now I know where you can get them. Debbie can be reached at the Environmental Media Association and at green4ema at the socials including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.
This week, Stu talks to ClipperCreek founder Jason France about the joy and journey of building EV infrastructure. Leader of one of the premier electric car charger manufacturers, he discusses his history with electric cars, and how he's been an integral part of the industry's growth from even before the EV1 all the way to today.

※ 本文章发布于订阅号：百车全说，订阅号阅读更加方便，欢迎关注今天是埃隆·马斯克故事的第四期。上回咱们说到马斯克创立互联网金融公司X.COM，之后与竞争对手Confinity公司合并，诞生了大名鼎鼎的Paypal，也就是美国版的支付宝。2002年7月，eBay公司15亿美元收购Paypal，马斯克套现2.5亿，税后所得1.8亿美元。转手他又把刚赚来的1个多亿投入到下一家新公司SpaceX，准备研究火箭去进行太空探索。他一开始准备去俄罗斯买二手洲际弹道导弹改造，结果俄罗斯人狮子大开口要800万一枚，马斯克一怒之下发誓要自己从零开始造。这时候，经人引荐认识了火箭大神米勒。在米勒的帮助下，原先造价3000万美元的550磅载荷火箭，他690万就给弄出来了。可接下来，SpaceX公司连续四年发射三次都以失败告终，就在公司快破产的时候，第四次发射终于成功了。马斯克还没来得及高兴，财务就通知他公司账上的钱已经撑不了几个月了。这时候，是谁把濒临破产的SpaceX拉上岸了呢？答案是，NASA。有人可能觉得好奇，上一期节目里，我们不是提到过马斯克研究了一圈，发现NASA养的都是一群废物，他才决定做SpaceX公司来颠覆NASA吗？怎么最后又是NASA把他拉上岸的呢？这里，首先跟大家解释一下什么是NASA，再理清一下NASA和马斯克的SpaceX之间是什么关系。NASA，是美国航天航空局的简称，是美国联邦政府的一个行政机构。负责制定、实施美国的民用太空计划，开展航空科学的研究。NASA自己是不造火箭的，他只负责提出太空计划，给一个发展规划，然后就把工程包给第三方公司来做，谈好价钱就行。NASA并不是盈利机构，他们的钱都是找美国国会要的预算。按照项目进度，NASA付款给承包商购买航天器和发射服务。简单的讲，这个模式叫做“政府搭台，企业唱戏。”2008年9月，SpaceX的猎鹰1号火箭第四次发射成功后，公司账上的钱也几乎见底了。这时候马斯克第一个想到的肯定是去找投资人融资，但是造火箭这种事，风险极大，回报率极低，几乎是个烧钱的无底洞。马斯克就算有超强的忽悠能力，也很难从投资人那里融到钱。但就在这个时候，NASA突然抛来橄榄枝，给了SpaceX公司一张16亿美元的大订单，要求他们给国际空间站提供12次的补给服务。我们可以理解成，SpaceX就像个快递公司，只要完成1次快递物资到国际空间站的任务，就能拿到1个多亿的快递费。当然，如果为了送1次快递，你火箭发射失败了好几次，那对不起，你不仅拿不到钱，还要赔偿物资的钱。但不管怎么说，有了这16亿美元，起码公司暂时不缺钱了。而且这时候马斯克又有了一个大胆的想法，要不咱们把运载火箭升级一下，改成可回收的版本怎么样？这样一来，一方面每次发射的成本就能大幅降低，赚得更多（实际验证下来，只是加快了发射节奏，并没有节省太多）。另一方面，有了这个技术咱们接工程就更有竞争力了。其实，从2005年SpaceX第一次发射火箭，NASA就一直在关注着这家企业的一举一动，当然还有一个人也在关心着这家公司的发展，这个人就是美国前总统奥巴马。巧合的是，2008年奥巴马当选为美国总统，也正是在2008年NASA把原本不公开的市场，突然拿出来公开招标，而SpaceX又非常幸运的中标了。大家觉得是马斯克运气好，还是背后有暗中扶持的神秘大佬呢？不过话说回来，NASA算是马斯克的伯乐，但是马斯克也很争气，之后的火箭回收技术也成了，龙飞船也造出来了，星链技术更是震惊全世界。但是恨马斯克的人也很多，最著名的就是前世界首富，亚马逊的创始人贝索斯，他比马斯克还要早2年创立了太空探索公司“蓝色起源”，每年他会卖掉一些亚马逊的股票套现10几亿来投资这家公司，根本不差钱。NASA也一直很看好他。结果马斯克的SpaceX横空出世，NASA一下子就疼爱起了这个小儿子，各种订单都安排给马斯克做，贝索斯多次公开抗议NASA太偏心。这两位大佬在私人航空领域的竞争，也是极有看点，大家感兴趣可以上网搜搜他们的故事，特别精彩。马斯克探索太空的故事咱们就聊这么多，接下来就是大家最感兴趣的马斯克和他的特斯拉公司的故事。其实特斯拉电动车并不是马斯克发明的，甚至特斯拉公司也不是马斯克创立的。在很长一段时间内，马斯克只是台前唱戏的明星，在他的背后有一群技术大牛支撑着公司的发展。最早，在马斯克上大学的时候，就研究过如何把超级电容器作为电动汽车的储能装置。他原本准备去斯坦福读博士，也是想要继续研究先进的储能技术。所以，他心里很早就有去研究电动汽车的想法，只是造火箭这件事看起来更酷一些。在2003年的秋天，SpaceX公司刚成立不久，有两名工程师慕名而来，想找马斯克聊聊，看看这位土豪能否也投资他们一点钱，因为他俩正在研究混合动力的飞机。但是马斯克显然对飞机不是很感兴趣，他连火箭都造出来了，还折腾飞机干嘛？正当他们三人饭局快结束的时候，其中一名叫斯特劳贝尔的工程师随口说了一句，我们其实还有一个计划，是造电动汽车，但是我想你应该不太感兴趣。这时候，马斯克突然说道，聊这个话题我可就有兴趣了，你说来听听。斯特劳贝尔这时也来了精神，清了清嗓子，就从自己的小时候开始说起。他说他小时候就是远近闻名的小发明家，可能是隔代遗传了他的祖父的基因，他祖父建造了美国历史上第一批内燃机，为船舶提供动力。他13岁就能把发动机拆了再还原，上大学的时候就拆过一辆保时捷，先是改成了电动车，之后又改成了混动车。2002年从斯坦福大学毕业，就去了旁边这位哈罗德·罗森老板的公司，研发混动和电动汽车。公司倒闭之后罗森跟他又一开了一家公司，准备研发混动和电动飞机。所以今天我不就跟他一起来你这融资了。马斯克心想，这俩人原来比我还不靠谱。但是，他们研究电动汽车这个方向是完全正确的，于是问他们想要融多少钱？斯特劳贝尔看了看罗森，心想造飞机他都一毛不拔，造电动车估计他也不会愿意掏太多。于是开口要10万美元，马斯克想了想，竖了一根手指说，我投这么多。罗森和斯特劳贝尔很惊讶，您愿意投100万？马斯克摇摇头说，不，我先投1万美元试试。斯特劳贝尔觉得马斯克态度是好的，但是投资是少的，这1万拿着烫手，不拿又当不成朋友。于是他赶忙去找正在AC propulsion电动汽车公司的好朋友汤姆·盖奇，告诉他有个哥们准备投资电动车，而且第一笔投资已经到账了一部分了，咱俩赶紧去再忽悠他一把，说不定这事能成。AC propulsion公司是之前通用汽车离职的 一批工程师组建的。在1996年通用的第一辆电动车EV1上市，搭载两台42kw的电机，32块铅酸电池供电，理论续航只有100km。可惜EV1是个短命车型，在2002年就停产了，一共生产了1117台，而且大部分都是通过租赁的形式流入市场，并没有公开销售。这个项目的停产，一部分原因是当时的技术不成熟，另一部分是美孚等石油巨头一直在不停地打压。EV1项目失败之后，很多通用工程师都辞职加入了AC propulsion公司，这家公司在1997年就打造出了“T-ZERO”电动跑车，但是一直没有正式量产，这台车使用锂离子电池组，续航300英里，0-60km/h加速只要3.6秒。斯特劳贝尔发现马斯克对电动汽车这么感兴趣，他当然第一个想到的就是AC propulsion公司的总裁，他的好朋友盖奇。斯特劳贝尔与盖奇一起，开着这台T-ZERO去见马斯克，结果马斯克对这车非常感兴趣，就问盖奇能否尽快量产，但是盖奇是个技术控，他觉得这车离量产还早呢，而且他们公司只打算做车辆上的驱动和电池管理系统，不准备造车。不管怎么谈，他都不接受马斯克的商业化方案。最后盖奇说，这样吧，我给你介绍两个人，他们也对造电动车特别感兴趣，也跟你一样，找我谈了很多次我都拒绝了。听说他们正准备成立一家公司，叫特什么来着，你回头跟他俩聊聊，说不定能合作。马斯克一看这俩人的联系方式，笑了，一位叫马丁·艾伯哈德，一个叫马克·塔彭宁，原来都是老马家的人。这俩人也是传奇，在1997年他们公司研发 了世界上最早的一批电子阅读器，取名Rocket eBook（火箭电子书），看照片跟我们现在用的kindle几乎一 模一样。第一代kindle 2007年才正式发售，而他俩的火箭电子书在1999年就卖出去了2万多台，公司在2000年3月就被1.87亿美元收购了。所以艾伯哈德和塔彭宁也算是俩小土豪，吃穿不愁，也想继续折腾些事情做做。在研发电子书的时候，他们发现这种不太耗电的设备上使用的18650锂离子电池，待机时间非常长。当初他们看到美国EV1电动车从诞生到死亡，就一直在想，为啥电动车不能用锂离子电池呢？于是2001年他们上网搜索美国有哪些造电动车的企业，就查到了AC propulsion公司，他们直接飞过去找这家企业领导谈心，说我给你50万美元算作投资 ，然后你给我整一台锂离子电池电动车。AC propulsion公司的领导，估计就是见了马斯克的那位盖奇，觉得这俩人脑子是不是秀逗了，啥也不懂就跑来说要投资，还说要造锂离子电动车，那时候锂离子电池只是用于笔记本电脑和一些小型电子设备上，放在汽车上，你就不怕爆炸和自燃吗？AC公司果断拒绝，不愿意造车。碰了一鼻子灰的艾伯哈德和塔彭宁决定回去自己成立公司，自己造电动车。2003年7月，艾伯哈德和塔彭宁组建了他们的新公司，取名特斯拉。一方面 是为了纪念伟大的发明家和电动机先驱尼古拉·特斯拉，另一方面T还是电动机的横截面。他们觉得造车没有那么困难，核心的三电系统自己弄，外观内饰和底盘找别的车型提供就行。他们希望自己的电动车区别于那些“老头乐”，于是就找到了Lotus莲花汽车，用他们的Elise双门跑车作为基础，打造自己的电动车。他们觉得高端电动车一定会有人买单，而且经过调研，发现想要产品更有竞争力，就得走直营路线，不通过经销商售卖。到了2004年1月，他们觉得已经准备得很充分了，就开始去找风险投资融资。他们找了一圈投资人，大家都不感兴趣，人家觉得通用都做不起来EV1 ，你俩一个小公司怎么可能造的好电动车？最后还是之前投资过他们电子书公司的投资人，冲着他俩的人品投了一点。他们正在焦头烂额地找投资的时候，AC propulsion公司的总裁盖奇带来了好消息，说有个叫埃隆·马斯克的家伙，正在找电动车项目投资呢。他俩二话不说，就买了机票飞往洛杉矶去见马斯克了。马斯克见到艾伯哈德和塔彭宁，似乎对于这台车的性能参数不是很感兴趣，只是一个劲地追问公司今后的盈利模式是怎样的？在马斯克这样的大忽悠面前，两个工程师只能硬着头皮使劲的忽悠。第一次见面马斯克并没有表态投还是不投，过了一周，马斯克约他俩再见一次。这次马斯克跟他俩也没多聊，很快就给了答复，我不但要投资你们，我还要加入你们团队，一起造电动车。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁压抑着内心的兴奋，激动地说，欢迎加入我们团队。马斯克说到做到，投资了650万美元给特斯拉公司，成为了最大的股东和董事长。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁当初可能太缺钱了，他们忘了去调研马斯克这个人，他有着极强的控制欲，以及无限膨胀的野心。果不其然，2008年，马斯克就随便找了个成本没控制好的理由，把他俩都踢出了公司，特斯拉从此换了新主人，时至今日，世人皆知特斯拉是马斯克的公司，却少有人知艾伯哈德和塔彭宁这两位创始人的名字。马斯克入驻特斯拉之后，发现他们造的这台叫做Roadster的车，也没有那么复杂，用的莲花的外观和内饰，移植了AC propulsion公司T-ZERO的动力系统，也就是在电池包方面他们有点自己的创新（别比人更早意识到18650锂离子电池的技术潜力），也仅此而已。马斯克觉得艾伯哈德和塔彭宁根本不懂电动车，赶忙打电话让斯特劳贝尔加入自己公司。2004年5月，斯特劳贝尔以9.5万美元的高薪被聘为技术总监，这样一干就是15年。直到2019年7月，斯特劳贝尔才正式离职，但是仍然保留技术顾问的头衔。他离职当天，特斯拉股票暴跌14%，市值蒸发63亿美元。当时媒体传闻，是因为特斯拉为了增产转亏为盈，开始偷工减料，造成多起车辆失控，自燃的事故，但是马斯克还是一意孤行，必须要达成业绩指标。斯特劳贝尔作为技术总监，实在看不下去，才决定离职走人。但不管怎么说，斯特劳贝尔都是公认的马斯克背后的那个男人。2005年1月，Roadster原型车终于打造出来了，马斯克立刻拿着这个项目去找投资人，并且自己领投900万美元，找了一圈投资机构又融到了400万，总共筹得1300万美元。有了这些钱，他们准备在2006年正式量产Roadster。但是特斯拉的工程师对于这么短的时间内量产，根本没有信心。因为7000多块锂离子电池放在一起，无异于是颗定时炸弹，之前从来没人尝试过这么做。如果一个富豪买了台特斯拉Roadster回去，结果开着开着，bang的一声，把自己当成烟花炸上了天，这个新闻肯定直接上头版头条，特斯拉公司当天就可以宣布倒闭了。这跟造火箭放烟花可不一样，那个虽然贵点，但是上面没有人。马斯克当然也担心这一点，于是等到2006年5月第二辆原型车EP1诞生，他又领投1200万美元，然后出门找投资机构，又带回来2800万美元，总数加起来由4000万美元，这事看起来越来越靠谱了。2个月后，EP2原型车诞生，马斯克觉得这总算看起来像是能开的车了。于是迫不及待地开始大规模宣传，他利用自己的关系请来了许多名流，包括州长施瓦辛格，前迪士尼CEO艾斯纳，还有大明星莱昂纳多和乔治克鲁尼，谷歌的联合创始人布林和佩奇等等。当时为了安全起见，每个人试驾Roadster不能超过5分钟，防止过热导致故障，甚至自燃。当时的Roadster对外公布的售价是9万美元，充一次电可以续航250英里。马斯克当然会在发布会上各种吹嘘特斯拉的技术，但是眼前确实有台真车给造出来了，而且还有这么多名人站台。马斯克后来还宣布，当天就有30多人订购了Roadster。15年后的今天，这种套路仍然在中国大地上屡见不鲜，是不是？马斯克最后说了一句话让大家很是惊讶，他说未来3年内，会再推出一款更便宜的轿车，预计售价5万美元。当然，这里面最惊讶的肯定是现场的特斯拉工程师，连这台Roadster都是没上市的半成品，竟然还敢在公开场合宣布3年内再出一台新车？疯了，这哥们真的是疯了。不过这一波名人站台的宣传，让特斯拉一战成名，大家发现电动车不再是EV1那种又丑又慢的买菜车，加速秒杀燃油车，外形帅气的超跑。比起几十万美元的超跑来说，不到十万拥有一台新颖的电动超跑，也是个不错的选择，毕竟自己没有玩过啊，现在这些名流都开始玩了，咱们也不能落后是不是？所以特斯拉Roadster在美国媒体的炒作之下，竟然真的吸引了不少富豪们的注意，还没上市就真的订出去了几十台，收获了几百万美元的订金。当时艾伯哈德在接受一次媒体采访的时候，还曾透露了车辆交付时间，最早可以在2007年年底。结果在Roadster准备量产的过程中，又出现了种种问题。首先是马斯克总是有突发奇想，要求种种改动，一会儿要求门把手改成自动感应的，一会儿要求车辆得减重，一会儿又要求配置得增加。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁与马斯克的矛盾就是在这个时候激化的。但是从结果来看，锅还是得他俩来背。在量产期间遇到的最严重问题，是变速器的故障，虽然电动车没有变速箱，但是也得有减速器。就这么看似简单的东西，特斯拉的工程师原本以为采购一个拿来用就行了，结果每台工装车，不是开了100多英里，就是开个2000多英里就必出问题。直到2008年1月，这个变速器的问题都没有解决，当时急着要提车回家当新玩具玩的土豪们开始抱怨。有钱人都不好伺候 ，特别是你给他们承诺没有兑现的时候。这还不是最坏的消息，有一家调研公司帮特斯拉测算了一下，按照他们现在的制造成本评估，一台Roadster的造价应该在17万美元上下，而他们只售8.5万美元，合着卖一台车亏将近10万美元？而且，特斯拉目前的生产能力，还不能保证每一台都是合格的产品。这样算下来，亏损的就更多。这篇报道出来之后，一方面让特斯拉内部的员工信心备受打击，另一方面也直接影响到了特斯拉的融资，投资机构发现这与马斯克吹的牛皮完全不一样啊，合着自己投的钱是在给他烧着玩呢？实际上，Roadster量产后每台的亏损大约在1万美元左右，并没有媒体宣传的那么夸张，但是这件事成为了CEO艾伯哈德与马斯克矛盾的导火索，马斯克迅速用自己大股东的身份，把艾伯哈德从CEO的位置上撤下，之后俩人开始公开对撕。马斯克还把自己twitter上所有关于艾伯哈德的内容全部删除，这在后者看来，他就是想抹去自己是特斯拉创始人的痕迹。毫无悬念的，艾伯哈德选择了离职。马斯克立刻换上自己任命的CEO德罗里，这个人就有一个优点，听话。在特斯拉公司内部毫无威信可言，重大决策都是请示马斯克来定夺。2008年2月，特斯拉举办了第一辆Roadster交付仪式，象征性地告知外界此车已经投产了，而实际上这台车问题一堆，根本没有彻底解决。到2008年年底，Roadster投入研发耗资约1.4亿美元，远远超出了2004年商业计划书中预估的2500万美元，投资人再也不信马斯克的鬼话了。不仅如此，在2008年前后，美国爆发了非常严重的次贷危机，在这个时候不仅出门融钱难于登天，而且老百姓对于银行家和富豪都有着一种仇恨心态。这时候的特斯拉可谓是四面楚歌，媒体报道的风向也转变了，有人测算马斯克的特斯拉公司倒闭指日可待，做了一个倒计时器，让大家一起期待这天的到来。著名汽车节目TopGear也是把特斯拉批的一无是处。有媒体嘲讽特斯拉的Roadster变速器问题绝对解决不了，车辆根本不可能量产。还有媒体挖出马斯克的黑历史，说他之前创立的Zip2和Paypal两家公司，都把他赶出过公司，这个人就是个骗子。甚至有媒体将特斯拉Roadster评为2007年科技公司最失败的项目。（当年中国媒体写《蔚来李斌，2019年最惨的人》，多数灵感就来源于这里）更惨的是，马斯克由于在SpaceX和特斯拉两家公司间来回救火，没有时间照顾自己家庭，的第一段婚姻，他的媳妇贾斯汀在2006年底又给他生了三胞胎，一下子要抚养5个孩子，贾斯汀患上了严重的产后抑郁症。也在这一年他们的婚姻出现了裂痕，他俩闹离婚的事情也是被媒体争相报道，大多数人都同情贾斯汀，马斯克的个人形象再次一落千丈。2008年6月，俩人正式离婚，贾斯汀得到房产、两百万美元现金（不包括律师费用）、每个月8万美元赡养费、17年的儿童抚养费以及一辆特斯拉Roadster。在2008年，马斯克可以说是事业家庭双重打击。大家别忘了，2008年这一年对马斯克来说还有一件大事，他的猎鹰1号火箭第三次发射失败。两个月后的第四次发射能否成功，他心里也没有底。如果第四次发射失败的话，马斯克的SpaceX就彻底关门大吉了。再联系我们今天聊的特斯拉的进展，2008年可以说也是命悬一线。这也难怪马斯克催着SpaceX的员工尽快进行第四次发射，结果这一把真的赌赢了，很快就拿到了16亿美元你的NASA订单，这么多钱，有没有拆借一点去用于特斯拉公司解燃眉之急，我想只有马斯克自己知道吧。好的，今天咱们的故事就讲到这里，下期节目，是埃隆·马斯克的最终篇，特斯拉公司是如何转危为安，之后又是如何高歌猛进的？特斯拉在中国建厂与发展又遇到了哪些波折？特斯拉对于全球汽车市场的影响到底有多大？对于埃隆·马斯克的总结与评价，我们都会在下期节目中分享给大家。在节目最后做个预告，我们即将上线一档新节目《听车场》，之前关注了《秋刀娱》账号的朋友最近应该发现了，账号名改为了《听车场》。没订阅专辑的小伙伴，可以搜索《听车场》点击关注，每周二、周五节目上线会第一时间提醒。这档节目由我、兔子和传垚一起主持，兔子和传垚都是我们团队的资深编辑。兔子喜欢美系大排量，喜欢改装；传垚喜欢德系能车，喜欢赛道文化；三刀喜欢分析市场，喜欢分析用户。兔子原是改装店老板，汽车轮毂品牌市场副总监。传垚是AMG

propulsion电动汽车公司的好朋友汤姆·盖奇，告诉他有个哥们准备投资电动车，而且第一笔投资已经到账了一部分了，咱俩赶紧去再忽悠他一把，说不定这事能成。AC propulsion公司是之前通用汽车离职的 一批工程师组建的。在1996年通用的第一辆电动车EV1上市，搭载两台42kw的电机，32块铅酸电池供电，理论续航只有100km。可惜EV1是个短命车型，在2002年就停产了，一共生产了1117台，而且大部分都是通过租赁的形式流入市场，并没有公开销售。这个项目的停产，一部分原因是当时的技术不成熟，另一部分是美孚等石油巨头一直在不停地打压。EV1项目失败之后，很多通用工程师都辞职加入了AC propulsion公司，这家公司在1997年就打造出了“T-ZERO”电动跑车，但是一直没有正式量产，这台车使用锂离子电池组，续航300英里，0-60km/h加速只要3.6秒。斯特劳贝尔发现马斯克对电动汽车这么感兴趣，他当然第一个想到的就是AC propulsion公司的总裁，他的好朋友盖奇。斯特劳贝尔与盖奇一起，开着这台T-ZERO去见马斯克，结果马斯克对这车非常感兴趣，就问盖奇能否尽快量产，但是盖奇是个技术控，他觉得这车离量产还早呢，而且他们公司只打算做车辆上的驱动和电池管理系统，不准备造车。不管怎么谈，他都不接受马斯克的商业化方案。最后盖奇说，这样吧，我给你介绍两个人，他们也对造电动车特别感兴趣，也跟你一样，找我谈了很多次我都拒绝了。听说他们正准备成立一家公司，叫特什么来着，你回头跟他俩聊聊，说不定能合作。马斯克一看这俩人的联系方式，笑了，一位叫马丁·艾伯哈德，一个叫马克·塔彭宁，原来都是老马家的人。这俩人也是传奇，在1997年他们公司研发 了世界上最早的一批电子阅读器，取名Rocket eBook（火箭电子书），看照片跟我们现在用的kindle几乎一 模一样。第一代kindle 2007年才正式发售，而他俩的火箭电子书在1999年就卖出去了2万多台，公司在2000年3月就被1.87亿美元收购了。所以艾伯哈德和塔彭宁也算是俩小土豪，吃穿不愁，也想继续折腾些事情做做。在研发电子书的时候，他们发现这种不太耗电的设备上使用的18650锂离子电池，待机时间非常长。当初他们看到美国EV1电动车从诞生到死亡，就一直在想，为啥电动车不能用锂离子电池呢？于是2001年他们上网搜索美国有哪些造电动车的企业，就查到了AC propulsion公司，他们直接飞过去找这家企业领导谈心，说我给你50万美元算作投资 ，然后你给我整一台锂离子电池电动车。AC propulsion公司的领导，估计就是见了马斯克的那位盖奇，觉得这俩人脑子是不是秀逗了，啥也不懂就跑来说要投资，还说要造锂离子电动车，那时候锂离子电池只是用于笔记本电脑和一些小型电子设备上，放在汽车上，你就不怕爆炸和自燃吗？AC公司果断拒绝，不愿意造车。碰了一鼻子灰的艾伯哈德和塔彭宁决定回去自己成立公司，自己造电动车。2003年7月，艾伯哈德和塔彭宁组建了他们的新公司，取名特斯拉。一方面 是为了纪念伟大的发明家和电动机先驱尼古拉·特斯拉，另一方面T还是电动机的横截面。他们觉得造车没有那么困难，核心的三电系统自己弄，外观内饰和底盘找别的车型提供就行。他们希望自己的电动车区别于那些“老头乐”，于是就找到了Lotus莲花汽车，用他们的Elise双门跑车作为基础，打造自己的电动车。他们觉得高端电动车一定会有人买单，而且经过调研，发现想要产品更有竞争力，就得走直营路线，不通过经销商售卖。到了2004年1月，他们觉得已经准备得很充分了，就开始去找风险投资融资。他们找了一圈投资人，大家都不感兴趣，人家觉得通用都做不起来EV1 ，你俩一个小公司怎么可能造的好电动车？最后还是之前投资过他们电子书公司的投资人，冲着他俩的人品投了一点。他们正在焦头烂额地找投资的时候，AC propulsion公司的总裁盖奇带来了好消息，说有个叫埃隆·马斯克的家伙，正在找电动车项目投资呢。他俩二话不说，就买了机票飞往洛杉矶去见马斯克了。马斯克见到艾伯哈德和塔彭宁，似乎对于这台车的性能参数不是很感兴趣，只是一个劲地追问公司今后的盈利模式是怎样的？在马斯克这样的大忽悠面前，两个工程师只能硬着头皮使劲的忽悠。第一次见面马斯克并没有表态投还是不投，过了一周，马斯克约他俩再见一次。这次马斯克跟他俩也没多聊，很快就给了答复，我不但要投资你们，我还要加入你们团队，一起造电动车。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁压抑着内心的兴奋，激动地说，欢迎加入我们团队。马斯克说到做到，投资了650万美元给特斯拉公司，成为了最大的股东和董事长。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁当初可能太缺钱了，他们忘了去调研马斯克这个人，他有着极强的控制欲，以及无限膨胀的野心。果不其然，2008年，马斯克就随便找了个成本没控制好的理由，把他俩都踢出了公司，特斯拉从此换了新主人，时至今日，世人皆知特斯拉是马斯克的公司，却少有人知艾伯哈德和塔彭宁这两位创始人的名字。马斯克入驻特斯拉之后，发现他们造的这台叫做Roadster的车，也没有那么复杂，用的莲花的外观和内饰，移植了AC propulsion公司T-ZERO的动力系统，也就是在电池包方面他们有点自己的创新（别比人更早意识到18650锂离子电池的技术潜力），也仅此而已。马斯克觉得艾伯哈德和塔彭宁根本不懂电动车，赶忙打电话让斯特劳贝尔加入自己公司。2004年5月，斯特劳贝尔以9.5万美元的高薪被聘为技术总监，这样一干就是15年。直到2019年7月，斯特劳贝尔才正式离职，但是仍然保留技术顾问的头衔。他离职当天，特斯拉股票暴跌14%，市值蒸发63亿美元。当时媒体传闻，是因为特斯拉为了增产转亏为盈，开始偷工减料，造成多起车辆失控，自燃的事故，但是马斯克还是一意孤行，必须要达成业绩指标。斯特劳贝尔作为技术总监，实在看不下去，才决定离职走人。但不管怎么说，斯特劳贝尔都是公认的马斯克背后的那个男人。2005年1月，Roadster原型车终于打造出来了，马斯克立刻拿着这个项目去找投资人，并且自己领投900万美元，找了一圈投资机构又融到了400万，总共筹得1300万美元。有了这些钱，他们准备在2006年正式量产Roadster。但是特斯拉的工程师对于这么短的时间内量产，根本没有信心。因为7000多块锂离子电池放在一起，无异于是颗定时炸弹，之前从来没人尝试过这么做。如果一个富豪买了台特斯拉Roadster回去，结果开着开着，bang的一声，把自己当成烟花炸上了天，这个新闻肯定直接上头版头条，特斯拉公司当天就可以宣布倒闭了。这跟造火箭放烟花可不一样，那个虽然贵点，但是上面没有人。马斯克当然也担心这一点，于是等到2006年5月第二辆原型车EP1诞生，他又领投1200万美元，然后出门找投资机构，又带回来2800万美元，总数加起来由4000万美元，这事看起来越来越靠谱了。2个月后，EP2原型车诞生，马斯克觉得这总算看起来像是能开的车了。于是迫不及待地开始大规模宣传，他利用自己的关系请来了许多名流，包括州长施瓦辛格，前迪士尼CEO艾斯纳，还有大明星莱昂纳多和乔治克鲁尼，谷歌的联合创始人布林和佩奇等等。当时为了安全起见，每个人试驾Roadster不能超过5分钟，防止过热导致故障，甚至自燃。当时的Roadster对外公布的售价是9万美元，充一次电可以续航250英里。马斯克当然会在发布会上各种吹嘘特斯拉的技术，但是眼前确实有台真车给造出来了，而且还有这么多名人站台。马斯克后来还宣布，当天就有30多人订购了Roadster。15年后的今天，这种套路仍然在中国大地上屡见不鲜，是不是？马斯克最后说了一句话让大家很是惊讶，他说未来3年内，会再推出一款更便宜的轿车，预计售价5万美元。当然，这里面最惊讶的肯定是现场的特斯拉工程师，连这台Roadster都是没上市的半成品，竟然还敢在公开场合宣布3年内再出一台新车？疯了，这哥们真的是疯了。不过这一波名人站台的宣传，让特斯拉一战成名，大家发现电动车不再是EV1那种又丑又慢的买菜车，加速秒杀燃油车，外形帅气的超跑。比起几十万美元的超跑来说，不到十万拥有一台新颖的电动超跑，也是个不错的选择，毕竟自己没有玩过啊，现在这些名流都开始玩了，咱们也不能落后是不是？所以特斯拉Roadster在美国媒体的炒作之下，竟然真的吸引了不少富豪们的注意，还没上市就真的订出去了几十台，收获了几百万美元的订金。当时艾伯哈德在接受一次媒体采访的时候，还曾透露了车辆交付时间，最早可以在2007年年底。结果在Roadster准备量产的过程中，又出现了种种问题。首先是马斯克总是有突发奇想，要求种种改动，一会儿要求门把手改成自动感应的，一会儿要求车辆得减重，一会儿又要求配置得增加。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁与马斯克的矛盾就是在这个时候激化的。但是从结果来看，锅还是得他俩来背。在量产期间遇到的最严重问题，是变速器的故障，虽然电动车没有变速箱，但是也得有减速器。就这么看似简单的东西，特斯拉的工程师原本以为采购一个拿来用就行了，结果每台工装车，不是开了100多英里，就是开个2000多英里就必出问题。直到2008年1月，这个变速器的问题都没有解决，当时急着要提车回家当新玩具玩的土豪们开始抱怨。有钱人都不好伺候 ，特别是你给他们承诺没有兑现的时候。这还不是最坏的消息，有一家调研公司帮特斯拉测算了一下，按照他们现在的制造成本评估，一台Roadster的造价应该在17万美元上下，而他们只售8.5万美元，合着卖一台车亏将近10万美元？而且，特斯拉目前的生产能力，还不能保证每一台都是合格的产品。这样算下来，亏损的就更多。这篇报道出来之后，一方面让特斯拉内部的员工信心备受打击，另一方面也直接影响到了特斯拉的融资，投资机构发现这与马斯克吹的牛皮完全不一样啊，合着自己投的钱是在给他烧着玩呢？实际上，Roadster量产后每台的亏损大约在1万美元左右，并没有媒体宣传的那么夸张，但是这件事成为了CEO艾伯哈德与马斯克矛盾的导火索，马斯克迅速用自己大股东的身份，把艾伯哈德从CEO的位置上撤下，之后俩人开始公开对撕。马斯克还把自己twitter上所有关于艾伯哈德的内容全部删除，这在后者看来，他就是想抹去自己是特斯拉创始人的痕迹。毫无悬念的，艾伯哈德选择了离职。马斯克立刻换上自己任命的CEO德罗里，这个人就有一个优点，听话。在特斯拉公司内部毫无威信可言，重大决策都是请示马斯克来定夺。2008年2月，特斯拉举办了第一辆Roadster交付仪式，象征性地告知外界此车已经投产了，而实际上这台车问题一堆，根本没有彻底解决。到2008年年底，Roadster投入研发耗资约1.4亿美元，远远超出了2004年商业计划书中预估的2500万美元，投资人再也不信马斯克的鬼话了。不仅如此，在2008年前后，美国爆发了非常严重的次贷危机，在这个时候不仅出门融钱难于登天，而且老百姓对于银行家和富豪都有着一种仇恨心态。这时候的特斯拉可谓是四面楚歌，媒体报道的风向也转变了，有人测算马斯克的特斯拉公司倒闭指日可待，做了一个倒计时器，让大家一起期待这天的到来。著名汽车节目TopGear也是把特斯拉批的一无是处。有媒体嘲讽特斯拉的Roadster变速器问题绝对解决不了，车辆根本不可能量产。还有媒体挖出马斯克的黑历史，说他之前创立的Zip2和Paypal两家公司，都把他赶出过公司，这个人就是个骗子。甚至有媒体将特斯拉Roadster评为2007年科技公司最失败的项目。（当年中国媒体写《蔚来李斌，2019年最惨的人》，多数灵感就来源于这里）更惨的是，马斯克由于在SpaceX和特斯拉两家公司间来回救火，没有时间照顾自己家庭，的第一段婚姻，他的媳妇贾斯汀在2006年底又给他生了三胞胎，一下子要抚养5个孩子，贾斯汀患上了严重的产后抑郁症。也在这一年他们的婚姻出现了裂痕，他俩闹离婚的事情也是被媒体争相报道，大多数人都同情贾斯汀，马斯克的个人形象再次一落千丈。2008年6月，俩人正式离婚，贾斯汀得到房产、两百万美元现金（不包括律师费用）、每个月8万美元赡养费、17年的儿童抚养费以及一辆特斯拉Roadster。在2008年，马斯克可以说是事业家庭双重打击。大家别忘了，2008年这一年对马斯克来说还有一件大事，他的猎鹰1号火箭第三次发射失败。两个月后的第四次发射能否成功，他心里也没有底。如果第四次发射失败的话，马斯克的SpaceX就彻底关门大吉了。再联系我们今天聊的特斯拉的进展，2008年可以说也是命悬一线。这也难怪马斯克催着SpaceX的员工尽快进行第四次发射，结果这一把真的赌赢了，很快就拿到了16亿美元你的NASA订单，这么多钱，有没有拆借一点去用于特斯拉公司解燃眉之急，我想只有马斯克自己知道吧。好的，今天咱们的故事就讲到这里，下期节目，是埃隆·马斯克的最终篇，特斯拉公司是如何转危为安，之后又是如何高歌猛进的？特斯拉在中国建厂与发展又遇到了哪些波折？特斯拉对于全球汽车市场的影响到底有多大？对于埃隆·马斯克的总结与评价，我们都会在下期节目中分享给大家。在节目最后做个预告，我们即将上线一档新节目《听车场》，之前关注了《秋刀娱》账号的朋友最近应该发现了，账号名改为了《听车场》。没订阅专辑的小伙伴，可以搜索《听车场》点击关注，每周二、周五节目上线会第一时间提醒。这档节目由我、兔子和传垚一起主持，兔子和传垚都是我们团队的资深编辑。兔子喜欢美系大排量，喜欢改装；传垚喜欢德系能车，喜欢赛道文化；三刀喜欢分析市场，喜欢分析用户。兔子原是改装店老板，汽车轮毂品牌市场副总监。传垚是AMG

propulsion电动汽车公司的好朋友汤姆·盖奇，告诉他有个哥们准备投资电动车，而且第一笔投资已经到账了一部分了，咱俩赶紧去再忽悠他一把，说不定这事能成。AC propulsion公司是之前通用汽车离职的 一批工程师组建的。在1996年通用的第一辆电动车EV1上市，搭载两台42kw的电机，32块铅酸电池供电，理论续航只有100km。可惜EV1是个短命车型，在2002年就停产了，一共生产了1117台，而且大部分都是通过租赁的形式流入市场，并没有公开销售。这个项目的停产，一部分原因是当时的技术不成熟，另一部分是美孚等石油巨头一直在不停地打压。EV1项目失败之后，很多通用工程师都辞职加入了AC

propulsion公司的总裁，他的好朋友盖奇。斯特劳贝尔与盖奇一起，开着这台T-ZERO去见马斯克，结果马斯克对这车非常感兴趣，就问盖奇能否尽快量产，但是盖奇是个技术控，他觉得这车离量产还早呢，而且他们公司只打算做车辆上的驱动和电池管理系统，不准备造车。不管怎么谈，他都不接受马斯克的商业化方案。最后盖奇说，这样吧，我给你介绍两个人，他们也对造电动车特别感兴趣，也跟你一样，找我谈了很多次我都拒绝了。听说他们正准备成立一家公司，叫特什么来着，你回头跟他俩聊聊，说不定能合作。马斯克一看这俩人的联系方式，笑了，一位叫马丁·艾伯哈德，一个叫马克·塔彭宁，原来都是老马家的人。这俩人也是传奇，在1997年他们公司研发 了世界上最早的一批电子阅读器，取名Rocket eBook（火箭电子书），看照片跟我们现在用的kindle几乎一 模一样。第一代kindle 2007年才正式发售，而他俩的火箭电子书在1999年就卖出去了2万多台，公司在2000年3月就被1.87亿美元收购了。所以艾伯哈德和塔彭宁也算是俩小土豪，吃穿不愁，也想继续折腾些事情做做。在研发电子书的时候，他们发现这种不太耗电的设备上使用的18650锂离子电池，待机时间非常长。当初他们看到美国EV1电动车从诞生到死亡，就一直在想，为啥电动车不能用锂离子电池呢？于是2001年他们上网搜索美国有哪些造电动车的企业，就查到了AC

，你俩一个小公司怎么可能造的好电动车？最后还是之前投资过他们电子书公司的投资人，冲着他俩的人品投了一点。他们正在焦头烂额地找投资的时候，AC propulsion公司的总裁盖奇带来了好消息，说有个叫埃隆·马斯克的家伙，正在找电动车项目投资呢。他俩二话不说，就买了机票飞往洛杉矶去见马斯克了。马斯克见到艾伯哈德和塔彭宁，似乎对于这台车的性能参数不是很感兴趣，只是一个劲地追问公司今后的盈利模式是怎样的？在马斯克这样的大忽悠面前，两个工程师只能硬着头皮使劲的忽悠。第一次见面马斯克并没有表态投还是不投，过了一周，马斯克约他俩再见一次。这次马斯克跟他俩也没多聊，很快就给了答复，我不但要投资你们，我还要加入你们团队，一起造电动车。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁压抑着内心的兴奋，激动地说，欢迎加入我们团队。马斯克说到做到，投资了650万美元给特斯拉公司，成为了最大的股东和董事长。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁当初可能太缺钱了，他们忘了去调研马斯克这个人，他有着极强的控制欲，以及无限膨胀的野心。果不其然，2008年，马斯克就随便找了个成本没控制好的理由，把他俩都踢出了公司，特斯拉从此换了新主人，时至今日，世人皆知特斯拉是马斯克的公司，却少有人知艾伯哈德和塔彭宁这两位创始人的名字。马斯克入驻特斯拉之后，发现他们造的这台叫做Roadster的车，也没有那么复杂，用的莲花的外观和内饰，移植了AC propulsion公司T-ZERO的动力系统，也就是在电池包方面他们有点自己的创新（别比人更早意识到18650锂离子电池的技术潜力），也仅此而已。马斯克觉得艾伯哈德和塔彭宁根本不懂电动车，赶忙打电话让斯特劳贝尔加入自己公司。2004年5月，斯特劳贝尔以9.5万美元的高薪被聘为技术总监，这样一干就是15年。直到2019年7月，斯特劳贝尔才正式离职，但是仍然保留技术顾问的头衔。他离职当天，特斯拉股票暴跌14%，市值蒸发63亿美元。当时媒体传闻，是因为特斯拉为了增产转亏为盈，开始偷工减料，造成多起车辆失控，自燃的事故，但是马斯克还是一意孤行，必须要达成业绩指标。斯特劳贝尔作为技术总监，实在看不下去，才决定离职走人。但不管怎么说，斯特劳贝尔都是公认的马斯克背后的那个男人。2005年1月，Roadster原型车终于打造出来了，马斯克立刻拿着这个项目去找投资人，并且自己领投900万美元，找了一圈投资机构又融到了400万，总共筹得1300万美元。有了这些钱，他们准备在2006年正式量产Roadster。但是特斯拉的工程师对于这么短的时间内量产，根本没有信心。因为7000多块锂离子电池放在一起，无异于是颗定时炸弹，之前从来没人尝试过这么做。如果一个富豪买了台特斯拉Roadster回去，结果开着开着，bang的一声，把自己当成烟花炸上了天，这个新闻肯定直接上头版头条，特斯拉公司当天就可以宣布倒闭了。这跟造火箭放烟花可不一样，那个虽然贵点，但是上面没有人。马斯克当然也担心这一点，于是等到2006年5月第二辆原型车EP1诞生，他又领投1200万美元，然后出门找投资机构，又带回来2800万美元，总数加起来由4000万美元，这事看起来越来越靠谱了。2个月后，EP2原型车诞生，马斯克觉得这总算看起来像是能开的车了。于是迫不及待地开始大规模宣传，他利用自己的关系请来了许多名流，包括州长施瓦辛格，前迪士尼CEO艾斯纳，还有大明星莱昂纳多和乔治克鲁尼，谷歌的联合创始人布林和佩奇等等。当时为了安全起见，每个人试驾Roadster不能超过5分钟，防止过热导致故障，甚至自燃。当时的Roadster对外公布的售价是9万美元，充一次电可以续航250英里。马斯克当然会在发布会上各种吹嘘特斯拉的技术，但是眼前确实有台真车给造出来了，而且还有这么多名人站台。马斯克后来还宣布，当天就有30多人订购了Roadster。15年后的今天，这种套路仍然在中国大地上屡见不鲜，是不是？马斯克最后说了一句话让大家很是惊讶，他说未来3年内，会再推出一款更便宜的轿车，预计售价5万美元。当然，这里面最惊讶的肯定是现场的特斯拉工程师，连这台Roadster都是没上市的半成品，竟然还敢在公开场合宣布3年内再出一台新车？疯了，这哥们真的是疯了。不过这一波名人站台的宣传，让特斯拉一战成名，大家发现电动车不再是EV1那种又丑又慢的买菜车，加速秒杀燃油车，外形帅气的超跑。比起几十万美元的超跑来说，不到十万拥有一台新颖的电动超跑，也是个不错的选择，毕竟自己没有玩过啊，现在这些名流都开始玩了，咱们也不能落后是不是？所以特斯拉Roadster在美国媒体的炒作之下，竟然真的吸引了不少富豪们的注意，还没上市就真的订出去了几十台，收获了几百万美元的订金。当时艾伯哈德在接受一次媒体采访的时候，还曾透露了车辆交付时间，最早可以在2007年年底。结果在Roadster准备量产的过程中，又出现了种种问题。首先是马斯克总是有突发奇想，要求种种改动，一会儿要求门把手改成自动感应的，一会儿要求车辆得减重，一会儿又要求配置得增加。艾伯哈德和塔彭宁与马斯克的矛盾就是在这个时候激化的。但是从结果来看，锅还是得他俩来背。在量产期间遇到的最严重问题，是变速器的故障，虽然电动车没有变速箱，但是也得有减速器。就这么看似简单的东西，特斯拉的工程师原本以为采购一个拿来用就行了，结果每台工装车，不是开了100多英里，就是开个2000多英里就必出问题。直到2008年1月，这个变速器的问题都没有解决，当时急着要提车回家当新玩具玩的土豪们开始抱怨。有钱人都不好伺候 ，特别是你给他们承诺没有兑现的时候。这还不是最坏的消息，有一家调研公司帮特斯拉测算了一下，按照他们现在的制造成本评估，一台Roadster的造价应该在17万美元上下，而他们只售8.5万美元，合着卖一台车亏将近10万美元？而且，特斯拉目前的生产能力，还不能保证每一台都是合格的产品。这样算下来，亏损的就更多。这篇报道出来之后，一方面让特斯拉内部的员工信心备受打击，另一方面也直接影响到了特斯拉的融资，投资机构发现这与马斯克吹的牛皮完全不一样啊，合着自己投的钱是在给他烧着玩呢？实际上，Roadster量产后每台的亏损大约在1万美元左右，并没有媒体宣传的那么夸张，但是这件事成为了CEO艾伯哈德与马斯克矛盾的导火索，马斯克迅速用自己大股东的身份，把艾伯哈德从CEO的位置上撤下，之后俩人开始公开对撕。马斯克还把自己twitter上所有关于艾伯哈德的内容全部删除，这在后者看来，他就是想抹去自己是特斯拉创始人的痕迹。毫无悬念的，艾伯哈德选择了离职。马斯克立刻换上自己任命的CEO德罗里，这个人就有一个优点，听话。在特斯拉公司内部毫无威信可言，重大决策都是请示马斯克来定夺。2008年2月，特斯拉举办了第一辆Roadster交付仪式，象征性地告知外界此车已经投产了，而实际上这台车问题一堆，根本没有彻底解决。到2008年年底，Roadster投入研发耗资约1.4亿美元，远远超出了2004年商业计划书中预估的2500万美元，投资人再也不信马斯克的鬼话了。不仅如此，在2008年前后，美国爆发了非常严重的次贷危机，在这个时候不仅出门融钱难于登天，而且老百姓对于银行家和富豪都有着一种仇恨心态。这时候的特斯拉可谓是四面楚歌，媒体报道的风向也转变了，有人测算马斯克的特斯拉公司倒闭指日可待，做了一个倒计时器，让大家一起期待这天的到来。著名汽车节目TopGear也是把特斯拉批的一无是处。有媒体嘲讽特斯拉的Roadster变速器问题绝对解决不了，车辆根本不可能量产。还有媒体挖出马斯克的黑历史，说他之前创立的Zip2和Paypal两家公司，都把他赶出过公司，这个人就是个骗子。甚至有媒体将特斯拉Roadster评为2007年科技公司最失败的项目。（当年中国媒体写《蔚来李斌，2019年最惨的人》，多数灵感就来源于这里）更惨的是，马斯克由于在SpaceX和特斯拉两家公司间来回救火，没有时间照顾自己家庭，的第一段婚姻，他的媳妇贾斯汀在2006年底又给他生了三胞胎，一下子要抚养5个孩子，贾斯汀患上了严重的产后抑郁症。也在这一年他们的婚姻出现了裂痕，他俩闹离婚的事情也是被媒体争相报道，大多数人都同情贾斯汀，马斯克的个人形象再次一落千丈。2008年6月，俩人正式离婚，贾斯汀得到房产、两百万美元现金（不包括律师费用）、每个月8万美元赡养费、17年的儿童抚养费以及一辆特斯拉Roadster。在2008年，马斯克可以说是事业家庭双重打击。大家别忘了，2008年这一年对马斯克来说还有一件大事，他的猎鹰1号火箭第三次发射失败。两个月后的第四次发射能否成功，他心里也没有底。如果第四次发射失败的话，马斯克的SpaceX就彻底关门大吉了。再联系我们今天聊的特斯拉的进展，2008年可以说也是命悬一线。这也难怪马斯克催着SpaceX的员工尽快进行第四次发射，结果这一把真的赌赢了，很快就拿到了16亿美元你的NASA订单，这么多钱，有没有拆借一点去用于特斯拉公司解燃眉之急，我想只有马斯克自己知道吧。好的，今天咱们的故事就讲到这里，下期节目，是埃隆·马斯克的最终篇，特斯拉公司是如何转危为安，之后又是如何高歌猛进的？特斯拉在中国建厂与发展又遇到了哪些波折？特斯拉对于全球汽车市场的影响到底有多大？对于埃隆·马斯克的总结与评价，我们都会在下期节目中分享给大家。在节目最后做个预告，我们即将上线一档新节目《听车场》，之前关注了《秋刀娱》账号的朋友最近应该发现了，账号名改为了《听车场》。没订阅专辑的小伙伴，可以搜索《听车场》点击关注，每周二、周五节目上线会第一时间提醒。这档节目由我、兔子和传垚一起主持，兔子和传垚都是我们团队的资深编辑。兔子喜欢美系大排量，喜欢改装；传垚喜欢德系能车，喜欢赛道文化；三刀喜欢分析市场，喜欢分析用户。兔子原是改装店老板，汽车轮毂品牌市场副总监。传垚是AMG

La verdad, en muchos casos se veía venir. En otros, han sido coches incomprendidos. Pero todos los que aparecen en esta lista han sido un verdadero fracaso en imagen, en fabricación, en ventas.. ¡O en todo a la vez! Afortunadamente el gusto de los aficionados y los usuarios a los coches no es una ciencia exacta. #coches #automóvil #Renault No solo hay que acertar con los gustos de los consumidores, sino saber el momento en que cambian. Porque a veces cambian muy rápido. Recordad por ejemplo cuando los monovolúmenes aparecieron, con el Espace en Europa, y se convirtieron en los modelos preferidos de muchos consumidores. Luego llegaron los SUV y, ¿a dónde han ido a parar todos esos Monovolúmenes? Es curioso, pero a veces es menos grave ir “retrasado” a tu tiempo que adelantarse demasiado. Muchas de estas listas de coches que son fracasos, están llenas de coches que se adelantaron a los gustos de los clientes. Y otros, sencillamente, pretendieron crear un nuevo nicho sin éxito… tenemos de todo. 1. Aston Martin Lagonda Serie 2 (1976) A mediados de los 70 a Aston Martin no le iban bien las cosas. ¿Y qué se les ocurrió? Hacer un coche para competir con Rolls Royce, una berlina impresionante, lujosa, pero con unas características dinámicas cercanas a un deportivo. Quizás su poca fiabilidad y los infinitos problemas eléctricos que daba fuesen más responsables que el planteamiento en sí. Lo cierto es que, en 16 años, incluyendo las Serie 2, 3 y 4 se vendieron 645 unidades… 2. Audi A2 (1999) Probé este coche cuando salió. No iba mal, pero todo el mundo decía que era muy feo, muy poco Audi. Muchos periodistas consideran que se adelantó a su tiempo con una propuesta de monovolumen pequeño, tecnológicamente avanzado y económico de mantenimiento. 3. Chevrolet EV1 (1996) Voy a empezar esta historia por el final: Chevrolet intentó destruir todos los coches producidos. O sea, que muy contenta no estaba con el coche y con la huella que iba a dejar. Pero aquí estamos los periodistas para contar las cosas aunque algunos intenten ocultarlas. Fue el primer intento serio de hacer un coche 100 por cien eléctrico. El coche era feo, poco habitable, no corría nada y tenía una reducida autonomía, que Chevrolet fijaba en 128 km si circulabas a 100 km/h o menos. 4. Ford Edsel (1958) Otro clásico de estas listas. Llevar el nombre del primogénito de Henry Ford no fue un buen augurio y este coche, que no gustó al público, no era fiable y tenía unas prestaciones muy pobres, fue un verdadero fracaso. Se dice que fue el responsable de unas perdidas de 250 millones de dólares y que estuvo a punto de llevar a Ford a la ruina. 5. Jaguar X-Type (2000) A este coche en Inglaterra, que tienen muy mala baba, le llamaban “Jaguar Mondeo”. Realmente la etapa Ford en Jaguar no fue brillante, este coche fue un desastre, no era rentable y resultaba poco apreciado. Lo bueno para la marca es que Ford quiso quitarse la patata caliente y vendió la marca a Tata… 6. Mercedes Clase R (2006) ¿Por qué he sacado este coche en esta lista? Primero porque fue un fracaso y luego porque mi exsuegro tuvo uno… Lo conozco bien. ¿Era un mal coche? No, era inoportuno sacar un carísimo monovolumen cuando ya la tendencia SUV era imparable. 7. Peugeot 1007 (2005) La gran aportación de este coche era su carrocería de monovolumen chiquitín y sus puertas deslizantes muy furgoneteras. Ni una cosa ni la otra fue apreciada por el público. Además, era caro de fabricar y Peugeot perdía dinero con este coche, así que lo sorprendente es que se fabricase durante 4 años. 8. Renault Avantime (2001) ¡Qué gran idea! Vamos a fabricar un monovolumen Coupé… Pues no cuajó. No era fácil. Sus peculiares puertas, que iban y van muy bien, no compensaban una línea que no convenció y un motor V6 de 204 CV que ni ofrecía prestaciones destacables ni consumos reducidos. 9. Tucker Torpedo (1947) Si queréis conocer a fondo esta historia, lo mejor es que veáis la película “Tucker, un hombre y su sueño”. El coche era bonito, iba bien, era muy avanzado para su tiempo… demasiado. Tanto que sus grandes competidores, muy conservadores técnicamente, Ford, GM y Chrysler, iniciaron una campaña de desprestigio que dio resultado: Solo se fabricaron 51 unidades. Una curiosidad: El director de la película, Francis Ford Coppola, tiene uno. 10. Volkwagen Phaeton (2002) En estas listas nunca falta este coche, por cierto, magnifico y una buena compra para sus usuarios. Y entonces, ¿por qué está siempre? Imagínate que inviertes un montón de dinero y tiempo en diseñar un coche del que esperas vender 20.000 unidades al año y ganar un buen dinero, y en vez de eso vendes 6.000 al año y pierdes 20.000 euros por unidad vendida. Como os adelantaba, hay de todo, porque en esta lista hay coches que valen la pena, como el A2, el Tucker o el Phaeton y otros como el EV1, el Edsel o el “Jaguar Mondeo” que mejor que nunca los hubiesen fabricado. ¿No pensáis lo mismo?
Andrea Learned talks with Chelsea Sexton, who is well known for her EV background, but understands how eBike and EV owners can be bridged for the good of the climate action cause. This conversation is about messaging--how "once you try" either of these electric transportation options, you'll love them (and so be open to seeing bikes as part of your own mix). Chelsea Sexton writes articles and blog posts about electric cars and her views on obtaining mass adoption of the technology by the car industry and drivers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelsea_Sexton Sexton was also interviewed in the documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' Sexton entered the automotive industry at the age of 17 after buying her first Saturn. She wanted to put herself through college by working at Saturn, but she ended up finding that she loved the cars more than what she was studying, so when General Motors announced the EV1 electric vehicle program three years later, she jumped on it.[1] Focusing on building a market for alternate-fuel vehicles through partnerships with corporate and non-profit stakeholders, shaping public policy and incentives, developing marketing strategies, and working directly with the drivers themselves, Sexton became well known as an advocate for clean, efficient transportation.

Unplugged Performance Reveals 'Pikes Plaid'"On June 10, 2021, Elon Musk formally kicked off deliveries of the 1,020-hp Tesla Model S Plaid. Approximately two days later, on June 12, Unplugged Performance debuted its race-prepped Model S Plaid that's set to compete at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (with our resident pro racing driver, Randy Pobst, behind the wheel). " says Motor Trend: "The interior is almost completely stripped out. After ditching items such as the car's airbags, a center console, and door panels, Unplugged Performance fits this tri-motor Tesla with a roll cage and a racing seat with six-point racing belts. The body is stock except for a huge front splitter and a gigantic adjustable rear wing. Likewise, the Plaid racer retains its factory air springs, however, it employs custom Unplugged Performance/Bilstein dampers and a three-way adjustable rear anti-roll bar. The car rides on Yokohama Advan slicks on custom forged aluminum wheels." https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-model-s-plaid-pikes-peak-race/ ADL presents EV Bus For U.S."Alexander Dennis Limited (ADL), a subsidiary of NFI Group (NFI), unveiled its first all-electric three-axle double-deck bus for North America. Following trials with select transit operators, the vehicle is now launching on the broader North American markets." says electrive.com: "The 45-foot Enviro500EV CHARGE has a passenger capacity of up to 82 seats, including 53 on the upper deck. An electric portal axle with hub motors provides propulsion with 2×125kW peak power output. The battery capacity of the Enviro500EV Charge stands at 648 kWh of energy storage integrated “in the chassis and the rear of the vehicle for a low centre of gravity and great stability”. Charging can be done via industry-standard CCS1" https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/13/adl-presents-triple-axle-double-decker-bus-for-north-america/ BYD's electric school bus will feed electricity back to classrooms"Chinese EV automaker BYD officially introduced its new electric Type D school bus, available in the US in lengths of 10.6, 11.6, and 12 meters, and capable of carrying up to 84 passengers. Most notably, the school bus enables bi-directional charging. According to the company, the bus can be charged overnight when energy demand is low, and feed clean energy back to the school during school hours" says The Next Web: "The bus features a lithium iron phosphate battery and has a range of roughly 250 kilometers on a single charge. That's 57km more than the electric school buses of Blue Bird Corporation, one of the biggest industry players, can go. Although it's unclear when and where BYD's new ebuses will debut, the announcement comes in perfect sync with President Biden's EV infrastructure scheme" https://thenextweb.com/news/byds-electric-school-bus-feed-electricity-back-classrooms UK in talks with 6 firms to build gigafactories"Britain is in talks with six companies for building gigafactories to produce electric vehicle batteries, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing people briefed on the discussions." reports Reuters today: "Ford Motor Co (F.N), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (7201.T), LG Corp (003550.KS), Samsung (005930.KS) and start-ups Britishvolt and InoBat Auto are in talks with the British government or local authorities about locations for potential factories and financial support, according to the report. The British government's plan to prohibit the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and hybrids by 2035 will require the country's vehicle plants to shift to producing electric models." https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britain-talks-with-6-firms-about-building-gigafactories-ev-batteries-ft-2021-06-16/ Russian Government Increases Investment for Electric Vehicles."The Russian government plans to invest 777 billion rubles ($10.5 billion) into electric and hydrogen vehicle development by 2030, according to documents obtained by the Vedomosti news outlet." says The Moscow Times: "In the next nine years Russia's electric vehicle (EV) share of the auto market could grow from 0.05% to 15%, officials at the Ministry of Economic Development said. By 2030 there could be 1.5 million EVs on Russian roads, supported by 20,000 new charging stations, according to the plan." https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2021/06/01/russian-government-increases-investment-for-electric-vehicles-a74067 Tesla desperately needs a No. 2 for Elon Musk"While Musk is not likely to step aside at Tesla (TSLA) anytime soon, it's evident he has many more interests — some would call them distractions — beyond electric vehicles. He's been obsessed with cryptocurrencies, especially dogecoin" says CNN Business: "It makes no sense for Tesla to be essentially a one-man show while SpaceX has an extremely adept COO in Gwynne Shotwell, one of that company's first hires, who is capable of stepping in to lead if Musk were unable to do so. Why doesn't Musk have someone like Shotwell at Tesla? Tesla has suffered a bit of a brain drain over the past few years, with several high-profile executives leaving. Most recent, and most alarming to Tesla investors, is this week's departure of Jerome Guillen. The nearly 11-year Tesla veteran had been running the trucking division and previously served in many roles, including president of the automotive division and program director on Tesla's Model S sedan. David Whiston, an auto analyst at Morningstar, said in an email to CNN Business that the only executive left who might make sense as a Musk successor is Andrew "Drew" Baglino, Tesla's senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering, who has been with the company since 2006." QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS RAJEEV NARAYANMy Volt makes a strange ethereal moaning sound at low speed, that I am not a fan of.. That being said I understand that regulations mandating these low speed sounds are increasing. It would be interesting if these could be changed, downloaded, or even self made like ringtones today. Perhaps you could even decide which one gets played based on GPS location. As for sounds at higher speeds- I am not a fan of that, one of the things I enjoy about my EV is the quiet ride, thst being said I can see a similar market for customizable / downloaded high-speed sounds- “Ferrari” or “spaceship” may be interesting. LIAM FROM OHIOI am not an EV owner but, I think car manufacturers should just put a microphone under the hood of their EVs,✝ and pump the motor sounds through the interior (and exterior) speakers. (Of course with adjustable volume.) I love the sound of motor whine! Have you heard how cool the EV1 sounded even without fake motor sounds?* Regarding my opinion fake motor sounds, Porsche, Audi, and Jaguar have nailed it in my opinion! Although, I don't really care for the fake sounds that the e-Golf and Mach-E make when accelerating, as they sound too much like combustion engine sounds. JAMES COYLEI have to agree the Zoe Pedestrian noise, is really is annoying BUT it does come in really useful when driving in busy town areas with lots of people walking around, HOWEVER the button to turn it on/off is in a really awkward place, and you cant turn it on, for instance when reversing, only off. EG: if there was a button to turn it on, on the steering wheel you could click it on and off at will, I'm most cautious when silently reversing slowly out of a super market car parking space, you cant turn it on, it refuses to make any noise whilst reversing, when its at its most quiet. IAN HARRISON FROM HULL•I am a blind enthusiast of electric vehicles but do worry about not being able to use yet another of my senses while out and about. So few drivers fail to recognise the significance of a white cane or guide dog compared with years ago that crossing uncontrolled roads is always a gamble anyway. Perhaps cars could be taught to notice the cane or the profile of a guide dog and its owner, then perform a beep whether or not your system is switched on. •Silent cars when combined with this fad for shared spaces is a double whammy for both the blind and even parents and small children. •Can I give a shout out to Motability UK who provide leased vehicles to the disabled. They are slowly increasing their range of EVs, including the ID3. I can't wait to get my wife an electric vehicle next time around. STEPHEN HARRISSo far as EV sounds are concerned, they should be silent. However, having the option to change the sound of the horn or have two different buttons for the horn, so that the driver can give an appropriate warning for the circumstance would be ideal. The usual horn sound can scare the daylights out of unsuspecting pedestrians and I think many sensible drivers are hesitant to use it for that reason, whereas a sound like a bike bell would be enough to get them to turn in the direction of the vehicle and see what is happening. A bike bell is pretty universally recognised warning to get out of the way.s (PEVs). They would be an ideal first and last mile solution and indeed are plenty capable enough to make the whole journey in many instances. MARK ORRICONo artificial noises please. Inside or out. There are some nearly silent piston cars out there. It's on the driver and pedestrians to avoid being run over and running people over. When I got my Niro in February I had it 2 days with the reverse beeping and pulled the front bumper off to disconnect the speaker…..my first new car ever and day 2 I'm pulling the thing apart, I got an ev partly for a quieter vehicle not one that was going to wake all my neighbors up when I back out of the garage. ALUN MORGANTo me it's very clear, there should be no rules about EV noise at all. Regulations should be technology agnostic: Minimum external noise limits should exist for all vehicles at low speed. I think the current AVAS regs allowing quite a lot of freedom under an “engine like noise” are a good way to go. Equally: Maximum external noise should be regulated, there are standards for drive by noise, but regulations on maximum noise at low speeds are probably a good idea now that a lot of cars simply have a speaker under the hood that could easily be abused. As for internal noise - go for broke, I don't care if you want your EV to sound like a V12, or your V12 to sound like an EV (good luck with that). The market will provide/decide. I suspect as EVs become ubiquitous, playing faux engine noises from your audio system will turn out to be a fad.

General Motors’ flashy launch of the EV1—at a Sylvester Stallone film premiere—helped generate a loyal following of celebrities and environmentalists. But when GM slashed the advertising budget, it faced the criticism from those passionate customers.
Maureen Midgley, first plant manager for the EV1 at the almost boutique-style Lansing Craft Centre in Michigan, describes the manufacturing process for the largely handbuilt EV1.
After working as an EV1 leasing agent, Chelsea Sexton became the leader of a group of enthusiasts who tried to save the car. Here, she recounts her topsy-turvy experience, and her accidental role in the documentary “Who Killed The Electric Car?”
Reporters Pete Bigelow and Hannah Lutz tell listeners how they tracked down more than 30 key players to weave together the story of GM's EV1.
On this episode, I change the order up, I ramble, and I talk EV1. Sit back, and relax, its only episode 7, I'll get the hang of this eventually.

Tesla Most early stage startups have, and so seemingly need, heroic efforts from brilliant innovators working long hours to accomplish impossible goals. Tesla certainly had plenty of these as an early stage startup and continues to - as do the other Elon Musk startups. He seems to truly understand and embrace that early stage startup world and those around him seem to as well. As a company grows we have to trade those sprints of heroic output for steady streams of ideas and quality. We have to put development on an assembly line. Toyota famously put the ideas of Deming and other post-World War II process experts into their production lines and reaped big rewards - becoming the top car manufacturer in the process. Not since the Ford Model T birthed the assembly line had auto makers seen as large an increase in productivity. And make no mistake, technology innovation is about productivity increases. We forget this sometimes when young, innovative startups come along claiming to disrupt industries. Many of those do, backed by seemingly endless amounts of cash to get them to the next level in growth. And the story of Tesla is as much about productivity in production as it is about innovative and disruptive ideas. And the story is as much about a cult of personality as it is about massive valuations and quality manufacturing. The reason we're covering Tesla in a podcast about the history of computers is at the heart of it, it's a story about the startup culture clashing head-on with decades-old know-how in an established industry. This happens with nearly every new company: there are new ideas, an organization is formed to support the new ideas, and as the organization grows, the innovators are forced to come to terms with the fact that they have greatly oversimplified the world. Tesla realized this. Just as Paypal had realized it before. But it took a long time to get there. The journey began much further back. Rather than start with the discovery of the battery or the electric motor, let's start with the GM Impact. It was initially shown off at the 1990 LA Auto Show. It's important because Alan Cocconi was able to help take some of what GM learned from the 1987 World Solar Challenge race using the Sunraycer and start putting it into a car that they could roll off the assembly lines in the thousands. They needed to do this because the California Air Resources Board, or CARB, was about to require fleets to go 2% zero-emission, or powered by something other than fossil fuels, by 1998 with rates increasing every few years after that. And suddenly there was a rush to develop electric vehicles. GM may have decided that the Impact, later called the EV1, proved that the electric car just wasn't ready for prime time, but the R&D was accelerating faster than it ever had before then. That was the same year that NuvoMedia was purchased by Gemstar-TVGuide International for $187 million. They'd made the Rocket eBook e-reader. That's important because the co-founders of that company were Martin Eberhard, a University of Illinois Champaign Urbana grad, and Marc Tarpenning. Alan Cocconi was able to take what he'd learned and form a new company, called AC Propulsion. He was able to put together a talented group and they built a couple of different cars, including the tZero. Many of the ideas that went into the first Tesla car came from the tZero, and Eberhard and Tarpenning tried to get Tom Gage and Cocconi to take their tZero into production. The tZero was a sleek sportscar that began life powered by lead-acid batteries that could get from zero to 60 in just over four seconds and run for 80-100 miles. They used similar regenerative braking that can be found in the Prius (to oversimplify it) and the car took about an hour to charge. The cars were made by hand and cost about $80,000 each. They had other projects so couldn't focus on trying to mass produce the car. As Tesla would learn later, that takes a long time, focus, and a quality manufacturing process. While we think of Elon Musk as synonymous with Tesla Motors, it didn't start that way. Tesla Motors was started in 2003 by Eberhard, who would serve as Tesla's first chief executive officer (CEO) and Tarpenning, who would become the first chief financial officer (CFO), when AC Propulsion declined to take that tZero to market. Funding for the company was obtained from Elon Musk and others, but they weren't that involved at first. Other than the instigation and support. It was a small shop, with a mission - to develop an electric car that could be mass produced. The good folks at AC Propulsion gave Eberhard and Tarpenning test drives in the tZero, and even agreed to license their EV Power System and reductive charging patents. And so Tesla would develop a motor and work on their own power train so as not to rely on the patents from AC Propulsion over time. But the opening Eberhard saw was in those batteries. The idea was to power a car with battery packs made of lithium ion cells, similar to those used in laptops and of course the Rocket eBooks that NuvoMedia had made before they sold the company. They would need funding though. So Gage was kind enough to put them in touch with a guy who'd just made a boatload of money and had also recommended commercializing the car - Elon Musk. This guy Musk, he'd started a space company in 2002. Not many people do that. And they'd been trying to buy ICBMs in Russia and recruiting rocket scientists. Wild. But hey, everyone used PayPal, where he'd made his money. So cool. Especially since Eberhard and Tarpenning had their own successful exit. Musk signed on to provide $6.5 million in the Tesla Series A and they brought in another $1m to bring it to $7.5 million. Musk became the chairman of the board and they expanded to include Ian Wright during the fundraising and J.B. Straubel in 2004. Those five are considered the founding team of Tesla. They got to work building up a team to build a high-end electric sports car. Why? Because that's one part of the Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan. That's the title of a blog post Musk wrote in 2006. You see, they were going to build a high-end hundred thousand dollar plus car. But the goal was to develop mass market electric vehicles that anyone could afford. They unveiled the prototype in 2006, selling out the first hundred in three weeks. Meanwhile, Elon Musk's cousins, Peter and Lyndon Rive started a company called SolarCity in 2006, which Musk also funded. They merged with Tesla in 2016 to provide solar roofs and other solar options for Tesla cars and charging stations. SolarCity, as with Tesla, was able to capitalize on government subsidies and growing to become the third most solar installations in homes with just a little over 6 percent of the market share. But we're still in 2006. You see, they won a bunch of awards, got a lot of attention - now it was time to switch to general production. They worked with Lotus, a maker of beautiful cars that make up for issues with quality production in status, beauty, and luxury. They started with the Lotus Elise, increased the wheelbase and bolstered the chassis so it could hold the weight of the batteries. And they used a carbon fiber composite for the body to bring the weight back down. The process was slower than it seems anyone thought it would be. Everyone was working long hours, and they were burning through cash. By 2007, Eberhard stepped down as CEO. Michael Marks came in to run the company and later that year Ze'ev Drori was made CEO - he has been given the credit by many for tighting things up so they could get to the point that they could ship the Roadster. Tarpenning left in 2008. As did others, but the brain drain didn't seem all that bad as they were able to ship their first car in 2008, after ten engineering prototypes. The Roadster finally shipped in 2008, with the first car going to Musk. It could go for 245 miles a charge. 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds. A sleek design language. But it was over $100,000. They were in inspiration and there was a buzz everywhere. The showmanship of Musk paired with the beautiful cars and the elites that bought them drew a lot of attention. As did the $1 million in revenue profit they earned in July of 2009, off 109 cars shipped. But again, burning through cash. They sold 10% of the company to Daimler AG and took a $465 million loan from the US Department of Energy. They were now almost too big to fail. They hit 1,000 cars sold in early 2010. They opened up to orders in Canada. They were growing. But they were still burning through cash. It was time to raise some serious capital. So Elon Musk took over as CEO, cut a quarter of the staff, and Tesla filed for an IPO in 2010, raising over $200 million. But there was something special in that S-1 (as there often is when a company opens the books to go public): They would cease production of the Roadster making way for the next big product. Tesla cancelled the Roadster in 2012. By then they'd sold just shy of 2,500 Roadsters and been thinking through and developing the next thing, which they'd shown a prototype of in 2011. The Model S started at $76,000 and went into production in 2012. It could go 300 miles, was a beautiful car, came with a flashy tablet-inspired 17 inch display screen on the inside to replace buttons. It was like driving an iPad. Every time I've seen another GPS since using the one in a Model S, I feel like I've gotten in a time machine and gone back a decade. But it had been announced in 2007to ship in 2009. And then the ship date dropped back to 2011 and 2012. Let's call that optimism and scope creep. But Tesla has always eventually gotten there. Even if the price goes up. Such is the lifecycle of all technology. More features, more cost. There are multiple embedded Ubuntu operating systems controlling various parts of car, connected on a network in the car. It's a modern marvel and Tesla was rewarded with tons of awards and, well, sales. Charging a car that runs on batteries is a thing. So Tesla released the Superchargers in 2012, shipping 7 that year and growing slowly until now shipping over 2,500 per quarter. Musk took some hits because it took longer than anticipated to ship them, then to increase production, then to add solar. But at this point, many are solar and I keep seeing panels popping up above the cars to provide shade and offset other forms of powering the chargers. The more ubiquitous chargers become, the more accepting people will be of the cars. Tesla needed to produce products faster. The Nevada Gigafactory was begun in 2013, to mass produce battery packs and components. Here's one of the many reason for the high-flying valuation Tesla enjoys: it would take dozens if not a hundred factories like this to transition to sustanable energy sources. But it started with a co-investment between Tesla and Panasonic, with the two dumping billions into building a truly modern factory that's now pumping out close tot he goal set back in 2014. As need increased, Gigafactories started to crop up with Gigafactory 5 being built to supposedly go into production in 2021 to build the Semi, Cybertruck (which should begin production in 2021) and Model Y. Musk first mentioned the truck in 2012 and projected a 2018 or 2019 start time for production. Close enough. Another aspect of all that software is that they can get updates over the air. Tesla released Autopilot in 2014. Similar to other attempts to slowly push towards self-driving cars, Autopilot requires the driver to stay alert, but can take on a lot of the driving - staying within the lines on the freeway, parking itself, traffic-aware cruise control, and navigation. But it's still the early days for self-driving cars and while we make think that because the number of integrated circuits doubles every year that it paves the way to pretty much anything, no machine learning project I've ever seen has gone as fast as we want because it takes years to build the appropriate algorithms and then rethink industries based on the impact of those. But Tesla, Google through Waymo, and many others have been working on it for a long time (hundreds of years in startup-land) and it continues to evolve. By 2015, Tesla had sold over 100,000 cars in the life of the company. They released the Model X that year, also in 2015. This was their first chance to harness the power of the platform - which in the auto industry is when there are multiple cars of similar size and build. Franz von Holzhausen designed it and it is a beautiful car, with falcon-wing doors, up to a 370 mile range on the battery and again with the Autopilot. But harnessing the power of the platform was a challenge. You see, with a platform of cars you want most of the parts to be shared - the differences are often mostly cosmetic. But the Model X only shared a little less than a third of the parts of the Model S. But it's yet another technological marvel, with All Wheel Drive as an option, that beautiful screen, and check this out - a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds - for an electric automobile! By the end of 2016, they'd sold over 25,000. To a larger automaker that might seem like nothing, but they'd sell over 10,000 in every quarter after that. And it would also become the platform for a mini-bus. Because why not. So they'd gone lateral in the secret plan but it was time to get back at it. This is where the Model 3 comes in. The Model 3 was released in 2017 and is now the best-selling electric car in the history of the electric car. The Model 3 was first shown off in 2016 and within a week, Tesla had taken over 300,000 reservations. Everyone I talked to seemed to want in on an electric car that came in at $35,000. This was the secret plan. That $35,000 model wouldn't be available until 2019 but they started cranking them out. Production was a challenge with Musk famously claiming Tesla was in “Production Hell” and sleeping on an air mattress at the factory to oversee the many bottlenecks that came. Musk thought they could introduce more robotics than they could and so they' slowly increased production to first a few hundred per week then a few thousand until finally almost hitting that half a million mark in 2020. This required buying Grohmann Engineering in 2017, now called Tesla Advanced Automation Germany - pumping billions into production. But Tesla added the Model Y in 2020, launching a crossover on the Model 3 platform, producing over 450,000 of them. And then of course they decided to the Tesla Semi, selling for between $150,000 and $200,000. And what's better than a Supercharger to charge those things? A Megacharger. As is often the case with ambitious projects at Tesla, it didn't ship in 2020 as projected but is now supposed to ship, um, later. Tesla also changed their name from Tesla Motors to Tesla, Inc. And if you check out their website today, solar roofs and solar panels share the top bar with the Models S, 3, X, and Y. SolarCity and batteries, right? Big money brings big attention. Some good. Some bad. Some warranted. Some not. Musk's online and sometimes nerd-rockstar persona was one of the most valuable assets at Tesla - at least in the fundraising, stock pumping popularity contest that is the startup world. But on August 7, 2018, he tweeted “Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured.” The SEC would sue him for that, causing him to step down as chairman for a time and limit his Twitter account. But hey, the stock jumped up for a bit. But Tesla kept keeping on, slowly improving things and finally hit about the half million cars per year mark in 2020. Producing cars has been about quality for a long time. And it needs to be with people zipping around as fast as we drive - especially on modern freeways. Small batches of cars are fairly straight-forward. Although I could never build one. The electric car is good for the environment, but the cost to offset carbon for Tesla is still far greater than, I don't know, making a home more energy efficient. But the improvements in the technology continue to increase rapidly with all this money and focus being put on them. And the innovative designs that Tesla has deployed has inspired others, which often coincides with the rethinking of entire industries. But there are tons of other reasons to want electric cars. The average automobile manufactured these days has about 30,000 parts. Teslas have less than a third of that. One hopes that will some day be seen in faster and higher quality production. They managed to go from producing just over 18,000 cars in 2015 to over 26,000 in 2016 to over 50,000 in 2017 to the 190,000s in 2018 and 2019 to a whopping 293,000 in 2020. But they sold nearly 500,000 cars in 2020 and seem to be growing at a fantastic clip. Here's the thing, though. Ford exceeded half a million cars in 1916. It took Henry Ford from 1901 to 1911 to get to producing 34,000 cars a year but only 5 more years to hit half a million. I read a lot of good and a lot of bad things about Tesla. Ford currently has a little over a 46 and a half billion dollar market cap. Tesla's crested at nearly $850 billion and has since dropped to just shy of 600. Around 64 million cars are sold each year. Volkswagen is the top, followed by Toyota. Combined, they are worth less than Tesla on paper despite selling over 20 times the number of cars. If Tesla was moving faster, that might make more sense. But here's the thing. Tesla is about to get besieged by competitors at every side. Nearly every category of car has an electric alternative with Audi, BMW, Volvo, and Mercedes releasing cars at the higher ends and on multiple platforms. Other manufacturers are releasing cars to compete with the upper and lower tiers of each model Tesla has made available. And miniature cars, scooters, bikes, air taxis, and other modes of transportation are causing us to rethink the car. And multi-tenancy of automobiles using ride sharing apps and the potential that self driving cars can have on that are causing us to rethink automobile ownership. All of this will lead some to rethink that valuation Tesla enjoyed. But watching the moves Tesla makes and scratching my head over some certainly makes me think to never under, or over-estimate Tesla or Musk. I don't want anything to do with Tesla Stock. Far too weird for me to grok. But I do wish them the best. I highly doubt the state of electric vehicles and the coming generational shifts in transportation in general would be where they are today if Tesla hadn't done all the good and bad that they've done. They deserve a place in the history books when we start looking back at the massive shifts to come. In the meantime, I'l' just call this episode part 1 and wait to see if Tesla matches Ford production levels some day, crashes and burns, gets acquired by another company, or who knows, packs up and heads to Mars.
The future of decarbonization is in re-inventing the transportation industry. As it stands, vehicles account for 28.2 percent of greenhouse emissions. That's an amazing opportunity for change. Imagine the reduction in carbon emissions if those vehicles were to be powered by electricity. John speaks about the potential of electric vehicles with General Motors' Global Manager of Sustainable Energy, Supply, and Reliability, Rob Threkeld. John and Rob discuss GM's incredible carbon neutrality goal. GM wants to do its part to get the whole world involved in its future. Every company will want to join in this movement to create a cleaner future. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Who is Rob Threkeld? [1:10] GM's achievements of last year [6:00] The competitive market of EVs [9:35] GM's commitment to carbon neutrality [12:00] Rob's thoughts on the future of renewables [16:00] The role utilities need to play to reach the goal of decarbonization [23:38] Rob's career journey [32:44] How Rob was able to get GM to commit to such a huge goal [43:26] The impact Rob wants to leave on the industry [49:28] Can the transportation industry become carbon neutral? That's something General Motors is going to find out! GM has committed to carbon neutrality by 2040. While this recent announcement is new, it's a representation of the work GM has been doing for years. They've spent the last couple of decades finding ways to reduce carbon emissions. GM had success with EV1 in the 1990s and the Chevy Volt a few years ago. Now the company has decided to go “all-in” on sustainable energy. To accomplish their goal, GM has to move away from the combustion engine. The transportation industry is the largest carbon emitter in the world. Both manufacturing and running a vehicle require a lot of energy. To counter this, GM has a goal of eliminating the combustion engine from their product line by 2035. The potential developments of the next decade are overwhelmingly exciting. Future generations are heading toward an all-electric future, transportation will be cleaner, and new energy solutions will be discovered along the way. Affordable electric vehicles Cost reduction is necessary for an all-electric automobile future. GM is developing a battery that will help by reducing production costs by about 60%. Having lower costs of energy will allow electric vehicles to be priced competitively. That being said, design is the first step in creating a low-cost, versatile product. By developing vehicles with a modular design, GM can allow for adaptability among models. The more interchangeable the technology is, the cheaper products will be to manufacture. The increased interest in the renewable energy movement is spurring more involvement from legislators and utility companies. Laws are being passed that promote green changes. Energy companies are being encouraged by communities to produce clean energy. Across the energy industry, the consensus is to provide a better product for a better environment. Involving those who are outside of the energy industry will accelerate the process toward a greener future. The four pillars of GM's approach GM is focusing on four pillars for renewable energy: energy efficiency, procurement, energy storage, and policies to support the development of renewables. By taking these into account, they've been able to narrow their focus to higher impact areas such as the U.S. and Mexico. Rob used these pillars to better package the idea of committing to 100% renewable energy. GM uses the four pillars as a definition for what renewable energy is. Rather than ending their focus on manufacturing, they want to positively impact all aspects of their production. GM is a great example of a company working to reach above and beyond their typical sphere of influence.

GM is never the leader of the pack, but they always make their mark on the segments they are in. Since the collapse of the EV1 project GM has been playing catch-up to market they left. Come with AutoLooks, as we uncover what went wrong and how GM can get back into the game in all the right ways. Everett J. #autolooks
Electric cars are the future, there’s no denying that. Consumers are not just open to electric vehicles, they’re embracing them, and companies are starting to adapt to market demand. General Motors first launched its EV1 electric car in 1996 and the response from the public was overwhelmingly positive. Waitlists included thousands of people hoping to lease their car. Despite the success, people were shocked when GM announced the cancellation of the program citing lack of interest and profitability. Did GM's cancellation purely come for these reasons? Or were there ulterior motives at play? Join Matt and Carolanne this week as they dive into the GM electric car conspiracy.

Dans les années 90, la Californie fait voter une loi obligeant les constructeurs à vendre des voitures électriques. General Motors investit 1 milliard de dollars pour développer sa première voiture électrique produite en série. La voiture est lancée, mais les patrons de GM font tout pour ne pas la vendre. Voici l'histoire rocambolesque de l'EV1, celle qui aurait pu donner dix ans d'avance à GM.

Copyright 2020 - The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon What started as a trickle of a few EVs has turned into a flood of models from virtually every single manufacturer. Hats off to Tesla for opening the floodgates, and making GM's EV1 a crude and distant memory. While the specifications for some of the new cars coming out in 2020 are still getting fined tuned —battery pack capacity, horsepower, range — the 2020 EVs look pretty impressive. Like all successful new products, EV market adoption goes through phases: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards. We are still at the innovators stage in most of the world. California is leading in the U.S., with China clearly on a path to be the leading EV market. For cost, reliability and environmental reasons, EVs are destined to represent the majority of vehicles on roads within a few decades. Nevertheless, before EVs dominate they must be comparable to gasoline engines in terms of range and cost. Continuing reductions in the cost of batteries solve both problems. Not only are EVs becoming less expensive because batteries are less expensive, but larger batteries are going into EVs — giving these vehicles comparable ranges to gasoline engines. For more about 2020 EV model specifications, including EPA MPGe ratings, ranges, and costs, please tune in to this week's Energy Show.

The General Motors EV1 was an electric car produced and leased by General Motors from 1996 to 1999. It was the first mass-produced and purpose-designed electric vehicle of the modern era from a major automaker, the first GM car designed to be an electric vehicle. The EV1 program was subsequently discontinued in 2002, and all cars on the road were repossessed, which bring up….What If GM never discontinued the EV1?

Show #535 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 21st July 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Thank you to new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER PETE GORTON aka @GyroGordini with his BMW i3 60Ah. SOME STATES ARE SPENDING VW "DIESELGATE" MONEY ON MORE DIESEL "As part of Volkswagen’s punishment for getting caught cheating on emissions tests, it has made $3 billion in grants available for individual US states. The money is theoretically supposed to be used to reduce nitrogen oxide pollution from diesel engines, but state governments have broad discretion as to how to spend the money." reports InsideEVs: "Some states apparently hope to mitigate diesel pollution by buying newer (and yes, slightly cleaner) diesel engines. Missouri plans to spend over $3.5 million on diesel school buses, trucks and other vehicles. New Mexico is also investing in diesel and natural gas vehicles, and Arizona has earmarked $27.8 million for diesel projects. https://insideevs.com/news/360993/vw-dieselgate-money-funding-fossil-fuels/ VOLVO GROUP AND SAMSUNG SDI ENTER STRATEGIC ALLIANCE Volvo Group and Samsung SDI have entered into a strategic alliance to develop battery packs for Volvo Group’s electric trucks. Working together with Samsung SDI, Volvo Group aims to accelerate the speed of development and strengthen the long-term capabilities and assets within electromobility, to the benefit of customers in different truck segments and markets. The alliance will cover joint development of battery packs specifically developed for Volvo Group’s truck applications. Samsung SDI intends to provide battery cells and modules to meet the demand for the Volvo Group’s electric trucks. The intention is that Volvo Group will utilize Samsung SDI’s battery pack technology for assembly in Volvo Group’s manufacturing operations. https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/07/20190719-volvosdi.html NISSAN LEAF NOW AVAILABLE IN LATIN AMERICA’S BIGGEST MARKETS Nissan began selling the zero-emission Nissan LEAF in Latin America’s four biggest markets: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia. The expansion into Latin America builds on Nissan’s position as the global pioneer in electric mobility, with more than 400,000 LEAF vehicles sold worldwide since the model first went on sale in 2010. A pre-sale stage for the LEAF began in the four Latin American markets at the end of 2018. Tesla just registered VIN 474,864 for the Model 3. CADILLAC ESCALADE EV SUV IS COMING WITH 400 MILES OF RANGE "According to Cadillac Society, the upcoming 5th generation of the Cadillac Escalade will be offered with three powertrain options, including an all-electric option." says InsideEVs: "The electric version will not be available right from the start in 2021, but will come at some point a bit later on. Anyways, the most important hint from unofficial sources is that expected range of Cadillac Escalade EV will be upwards of 400 miles (644 km), which when taking into consideration size and weight of the Escalade, suggests a huge battery pack. Currently, the only electric SUV on the U.S. market - Tesla Model X offers 325 miles (523 km) of range using 100 kWh battery. By the time the Cadillac Escalade EV will be ready, Tesla also could be at 400 miles. The other contender in the luxury, long-range, big SUV segment is Rivian with its R1S." https://insideevs.com/news/360965/cadillac-escalade-ev-400-miles-range/ ROYAL MAIL ROLLS OUT ANOTHER 190 ELECTRIC VANS "In London and the South East, Royal Mail is rolling another out 190 electric vans, which will join the 100 electric van fleet already operating in the area. Notable about this fleet is that they will be painted green, unlike the traditional red." says electrive.com: "The new fleet will be made up of a mix of Mercedes-Benz eVito and Peugeot Partner vans. This move will also approximately triple Royal Mail’s electric fleet. Charging for the new vehicles can be done overnight in “between six and eight hours”, which enables a range between 93 and 106 miles." https://www.electrive.com/2019/07/20/royal-mail-rolls-out-another-190-electric-vans/ 2019 TOYOTA PRIUS PHEV ARRIVES WITH ONE EXTRA SEAT, TRIM UPGRADES "The Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid has been revised for the 2019MY, adding some new gear and retaining the rest of the functions available in its predecessor." according to CarScoops: "The biggest news is the addition of an extra rear seat, raising capacity from 4 to 5 people on the rear bench. Toyota claims that the bench offers the same levels of comfort as before. Also new for the 2019 Prius PHEV is the Galaxy Black Metallic exterior color and optional 17’’ alloy wheels. Elsewhere, the Prius PHEV remains unchanged. It achieves up to 1.3 l/100 km (217.3 mpg UK / 180.9 mpg US) and emits 28 g/km of CO2. Electric range is up to 45 km (28 miles) in real-life conditions and in pure battery mode has a top speed of 135 km/h (84 mph)." QUESTION OF THE WEEK DON WOOD on Facebook On the July 14th, 2019 podcast you asked for opinions on whether electric vehicle manufacturers should have exclusive charging stations or be open to all types of electric vehicles. Since Tesla is investing a lot of capital to create their vast charging network in the US as one of many features offered to Tesla owners, it is a very important and valuable feature of owning a Tesla and paying a premium price for an electric vehicle. If open to other types of EVs I would expect they should charge a premium additional tax for non-Tesla vehicles to discourage the Super Charging Stations from becoming clogged up with non-Tesla vehicles. In an emergency, they could use it, knowing they are paying way more than they want to, but otherwise would charge at other types of charging stations, such as at a Sheets station, etc. Most current GAS stations should be installing generic charging outlets and become "Energy Stations" dropping the word "GAS" from the name over time. These could then service all types of EVs, including Tesla and Non-Tesla vehicles. Adapters provided... ROB CRAWFORD When Tesla came out with Model S, there were no chargers of any kind. A year later, Elon was building chargers everywhere, from the USA to Europe, Canada, and to even China eventually. Elon knew he had to have nearly as many charging stations as possible not really knowing what the response to the S, would be. Besides he was covering his own arse, and then the model S started to roll out, nearly half of those chargers we're in place with many more on the way, and still to this day, newer and better charging is going up. Yes, all charging stations should be open to all models. There are cars like Byton coming to Europe and the States, very soon, and there is no word on if they're going to have their own charging? So definitely Yes, all stations should have nozzles for all makes, brands of EVs, it just makes reasonable sense to do so. DUNCAN ARMOUR When the charger network was appalling and inadequate, Tesla saw the need for good charging infrastructure, and provided superb infrastructure at a point where realistically it couldn’t afford to do so. Tesla’s courageous calculated risk-taking and use of hard-won debt should not be piggy-backed by all those legacy car companies that saw the same initial problem, and did nothing about it. DOUG VOWLES Manufacturers are free to do what they want with their investments, but I would hope that at this point in the process of getting wide public buy-in of electric vehicles they would put their energies into charging assets available to everyone. Preferably through an industry-wide program using the same standards. How be they donate $25 (or more) for every electric car sold, to something like Electrify America? But walled gardens brings up another option. Rather than by brand, just put up a pay-wall. Similar to the VIP lounges at airports. Pay an extra fee when charging for access to air-conditioning, showers, complimentary soft-drinks etc. Freebie points/tickets could be given to customers when they go back to the lonely dealers once a year for tire rotations, wiper replacements, and perhaps a battery health checkup. JACK OAKLEY Government financial support will only go so far. If there is a business opportunity for charging stations, opened to the public or private charging clubs, or private manufacture charging spots - I welcome the charger expansion worldwide. I would be happy to be part of the expanding community and would possibly base a purchase on charging stations available to my vehicle. I have a MAJOR thorn in my side about TESLA's current model. I do not agree government funds should be used to promote private charging. As with TESLA. With my i3, I cannot use a TESLA charger, but I am frequently ICE'd by Tesla's elite blocking (not Charging) stations I need to use. TESLA owners should not be entitled to public funds while the charging stations remain private. They are welcome to their private stations - should not be funded indirectly with my tax dollars SACHA I've heard this question a lot a lot and while it's tempting to compare charging networks to gas stations, private networks are in fact private investments made by a manufacturer and ultimately paid for by its investors and customers (in the case of Tesla , the network was built because other manufacturers weren't participating in the EV market - some, like GM, actively worked to undermine the EV market - check out the EV1 story and how GM and the oil industry actively worked to roll back California regulation on EVs) . Causing charger congestion for people that paid for the network in exchange for tiny profit would be a bit of a problem I would think . Awesome question of the week ! Glad you raised this as it's a frequent criticism of TSLA, I think they deserve credit for having the fortitude to create their own network when nobody else was willing to consider EVs seriously , what do you think ? BARRY WOLF Fine with me. If I had a fossil gobbler that, by requirement of the manufacturer, only gobbled super special fossils (and had a special fossil gobbling fuel inlet), required me to visit special fueling stations, and I willingly purchased said car, I would visit the special fossil gobbler station. It would be nice, of course, if the manufacturer made an adapter to use with other fossil dispensing stations, too, but with the caveat that without super special fossils (super slippery), it is not possible to refill the car as quickly. Ok, back to EVs. I think it's ok since Tesla pays for the network and manages it and Tesla owners do pay a premium for this network. I drive a cheap VW e-Golf ($22,500 after taxes), so I don't expect such special treatment by VW or anyone else. RAY HOJKA In answer to your question of the week I think all the networks should be open to all. I know they have invested heavily so I have no issues with them charging a reasonable rate which gives them a sensible profit. In Tesla's case I don't understand why they don't do that given that they have rarely made a profit yet. Also I have watched a number of Tesla owner videos on YouTube and I have yet to see them charging on a "fully in use" bank of superchargers so why not open up the system. I think it would only need a firmware update to the charger to allow it to detect whether it's a Tesla or another make and switch into the appropriate mode. Thanks for the great podcast. I am a new owner of a Hyundai ioniq ev and loving it. DAVID ALLEN It bears mentioning that Tesla took the initial step of addressing the “chicken or egg” problem by building its own charging network (at considerable expense). But later, they were willing to license their tech patents (for free), and offered other car makers access to their network, IF they were willing to help pay for its expansion and maintenance. Everyone said “pass” and chose to let other third party companies build the public network (except Nissan who made CHAdeMO available at SOME of their dealerships). The ability for cars with different plug designs to use an “incompatible” plug is a solvable engineering problem, but adds the burden/expense of the driver having to carry multiple adapters. Whether this will happen becomes an economic, customer service and standards problem. The various companies can work out the economics/customer service issue, but the government(s) will have to step in and establish interoperability standards and regulations. MATTHEW COOPER TLDR: Let people do business freely. We have to remember that OEM does not have to go above and beyond and create a charging network, there are dedicated businesses for that purpose. If they do create a network I think they should be allowed to wall it off not to block their own car owners from chargers. TOM RAFTERY There’s absolutely no reason to have walked gardens - everybody loses. Consumers have fewer places they can charge from, and charging companies make less money by making it harder for people to give them money. Ridiculous. Think of it this way, back in the days when we were putting Dino juice into our cars, we could buy fossil fuels in any service station. There’s no reason for EVs to be any different (in this respect, at least!). ANDREW JACOBS I will be very surprised that anyone says that there should be walled gardens. A major standard should and hopefully will emerge that all charger manufacturers will use. While the Tesla model is very convenient for Tesla owners, and I can understand why Tesla drivers would be keen for the Tesla chargers to stay exclusive to them. It doesn’t help the adoption of EVS if there are lots of different charging plugs and standards. Imagine how good it would be if all electric cars could access the Tesla super charger network. After all, Teslas can connect to any network with all the adapters they have available. Anyone want to develop a Tesla super charger to Chademo adapter for my Leaf? I’m happy to pay Tesla for the privilege. JOHN LACEY I think that all charging networks should be opened up to everyone including the Tesla Supercharger network (saying that even as a Tesla owner), in the ethos of helping the rapid global growth of sustainable transport. However, non-Tesla's should be pay a higher price when using the Tesla Superchargers, the reason being that when you buy a Tesla you are partly funding the build costs of the Supercharger network, so it wouldn't be fair on Tesla owners if others simply got to use the network without chipping in themselves. I would then expect Tesla to use those additional funds to build even more Superchargers, thus benefiting Tesla owners with a greater number of chargers across the network. The only issue I can see is that the majority of non-Tesla's have a slower charging speed, thus will 'clog up' the chargers, so perhaps a 30 min max time limit to be imposed in busy periods?

Comment from yesterday by Lounge lizard • 2 minutes ago The end of the quarter push this time has a very real benefit. The US tax credit will be reduced by half at the end of this month so getting as many cars to new buyers as possible saves them a couple thousand dollars HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESLA i missed this one yesterday, 1st July is Tesla's birthday. According to a history written by CNN a while ago: "Tesla is founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. The engineers become CEO and CFO, respectively. Eberhard and Tarpenning were inspired to create the company after General Motors ended its EV1 program and destroyed the electric cars". And in 2004: "Elon Musk gets in the mix. The entrepreneur who made a fortune at PayPal, helps lead the Series A funding round for Tesla and invests $6.35 million of his own money. He becomes chairman of the board following that investment." We're also exactly 9 years since another big milestone: "Toyota Motors invests $50 million and enters into a joint venture with Tesla to develop electric cars and parts." ON June 5th 2017 Toyota would dispose of all their shares in Tesla. ELECTRIC CARS GRAB ALMOST HALF OF SALES IN OIL-PRODUCING NORWAY "Almost half of new cars sold in Norway in the first six months of 2019 were powered by fully electric engines, up from just over a quarter in the same period last year, ensuring the Nordic nation retains its top global ranking in electric vehicle sales." says Reuters in a new report published today: "Tesla’s (TSLA.O) Model 3 was Norway’s top-selling vehicle, the Norwegian Road Federation (NRF) said when announcing the latest sales data on Monday. In total, 48.4% of all new cars sold from January to June were electric, surpassing the 31.2% seen for the full year 2018, and making oil-producing Norway the global leader in per-capita electric car sales by a wide margin. Seeking to end the sale of diesel and petrol engines by the middle of the next decade, Norway exempts battery-driven cars from the heavy taxes imposed on vehicles powered by fossil fuel. It also offers benefits such as discounts on road tolls. Tesla sold 3,760 vehicles in Norway in June, for a 24.5% share of all cars during the month, and was also the top-selling brand for the first six months.Most of its sales were of the mid-sized Model 3" https://www.reuters.com/article/us-autos-electric-norway/electric-cars-grab-almost-half-of-sales-in-oil-producing-norway-idUSKCN1TW2WO GENESIS CONFIRMS ELECTRIC SEDAN FOR 2021 "The first electric car for Hyundai's Genesis brand is due in 2021. Manfred Fitzgerald, the brand's global executive vice president, noted to Australia's Drive that the company is working on a new electric platform that is likely to spawn both a sedan and an SUV, with the sedan likely to come first." says Green Car Reports: "Though Genesis has shown several EV concepts over the years, the introduction of a conventional luxury electric sedan—rather than the already expected electric SUV—represents a new direction for the brand." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1123810_genesis-confirms-electric-sedan-for-2021 IN MAY 2019, PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CAR SALES IN EUROPE EXCEEDED 36,000 This past month, some 36,200 plug-ins were registered, although PHEVs are still dropping. The quickest segment of the market turns out to be all-electric cars, as the sales increase amounted to 85%! The Renault ZOE (outgoing generation) scored a strong #1 in the model rank with 4,031 new registrations, followed by Tesla Model 3 (2,802), BMW i3 (2,580), Volkswagen e-Golf (1,946) and Nissan LEAF (just 1,603). https://insideevs.com/news/356644/may-2019-plugin-car-sales-europe-36000/ THE NEXT HYBRID – HOW ABOUT A CRUISE SHIP? I love this next story from AutoBlog, about how EV batteries are getting everywhere: "The world’s first cruise ship propelled partially by battery power is set to head out from northern Norway on its maiden voyage, cruise operator Hurtigruten said on Monday.The hybrid expedition cruise ship, the Roald Amundsen, can take 500 passengers and is designed to sail in harsh climate waters. While the engines run mainly on marine gasoil, the ship’s battery pack enables it to run solely on batteries for around 45 to 60 minutes under ideal conditions, Hurtigruten Chief Executive Daniel Skjeldam told Reuters." https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/01/the-next-hybrid-how-about-a-cruise-ship/ BRITISH AND CHINESE CAR INDUSTRIES ANNOUNCE NEW AGREEMENT The British and Chinese car industries have signed a new agreement that will enable them to collaborate on automotive technology and development. Britain’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) and the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) announced the new deal, which is intended to “create new business opportunities” between the two nations. According to the SMMT, though, the new deal will open up opportunities for connected and autonomous vehicles, low- and zero-emission technology and battery research and development. The organisation says these are “no longer local issues”, and countries would have to collaborate to solve them." https://uk.motor1.com/news/356390/british-chinese-car-industries-agreement/ DYSON'S FURY AT HONDA OVER ELECTRIC CAR SNUB "Sir James Dyson has accused Honda of scuppering a deal that could have led to him building his new electric car in Britain." writes ThisIsMoney.co.uk: "In a letter seen by The Mail on Sunday, the billionaire entrepreneur claims he tried to negotiate a deal with Honda to use part of its factory in Swindon, Wiltshire – but he says the Japanese car giant refused. The 72-year-old's eponymous company, Dyson, also failed in an attempt to expand into Government-owned land in Wiltshire, sources said and instead revealed plans in October to manufacture its electric vehicles in Singapore rather than the UK. Honda last night waded into the row, dismissing Sir James's claims as 'factually inaccurate'." https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-7195965/Dyson-claims-car-giant-Honda-rejected-bid-build-new-model-UK-plant.html COULD IT BE? CAMARO COULD RETURN AS PURE EV PONY CAR "Rumors suggest that Chevrolet doesn't intend to give the Camaro a new generation, causing the pony car to get the axe for the second time in the model's history. Now, new speculation indicates that the Bowtie might revive the model as a performance-oriented electric vehicle, according to Car Buzz without citing specific sources." here to tell us more, Global Editor in Chief of Motor1.com is John Neff... https://www.motor1.com/news/357444/chevy-camaro-ev-return-rumor/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Electric vehicles (EV) have made a comeback since the great EV failures of the 1990's. Today, ten countries and a handful of cities around the world have planned total ban on combustion engines. The hope is that EV's would help reduce air pollution and oil consumption. But are EV’s actually good for the environment? What about our anxieties over their range? The batteries don’t last, right? They’re too expensive, right? We speak to Mark Maynard, an automotive editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune who was among the first test drivers of a pilot EV program, "EV1" by General Motors in the 1990's. We also hear from Daniel Vickery, head of engineering of batteries and energy systems at Gogoro, a Taiwanese electric scooter company.Support “Waste Not Why Not” on Patreon.

Copyright 2019 - The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon Remember the EV1 - GMs experimental foray into electric vehicles? Although the EV1 was a failure in terms of mass market sales, it captured the imagination of both car and environmental enthusiasts. Tesla's leadership has proven that EVs can indeed be a marketable product. Now, virtually every automaker has a selection of practical EVs and longer-range hybrids. I'm still a big fan of high performance gas engines; it amazes me that power outputs have tripled since the early 70s, while fuel economy has improved and engine longevity is in the 200k mile range. I'm also a big fan of plug-in hybrids that permit family long trips without detailed planning for a charging pit stop. Nevertheless, except for certain niche applications (high performance, long range and car nuts) the die is cast and the gas engine is passé. Virtually all automakers are planning manufacturing facilities to transition to a mostly EV/hybrid fleet in 10-20 years. Ironically, at the same time customer preferences are transitioning towards EVs, customers are also buying more SUVs and crossovers — which generally have worse gas mileage than sedans (I like the fact that you can haul around a 60 cell solar panel in an SUV). In early 2018 Ford announced that they would no longer manufacture sedans, with the exception of the Mustang. Recently, GM announced similar plans to effectively abandon the sedan market and focus on SUVs crossovers and trucks. With favorable government policies in almost every country, inexpensive solar and wind electricity, and the need to reduce worldwide carbon emissions, the shift wards EVs is inexorable. Please listen up to this week's Energy Show for more about the reasons our grandchildren will all ride in EVs, and will probably never change the oil or a spark plug.

Just one per cent of vehicles are powered by electricity, but CrowdScience listener Randall from Lac du Bonnet in Canada wants to know how quickly that might change, and whether one day all cars could be electric. Marnie Chesterton begins her journey in an electric car, stuck in traffic on a Los Angeles freeway. It was in California where the modern electric car revival began in the late 1990s with the EV1 – popular with Hollywood celebrities like Mel Gibson and Danny DeVito. More than two decades on, several countries have pledged to go all-electric in future. The latest is China, who currently lead the world in the number of electric vehicles on the road. But is the planet’s power infrastructure even capable of supporting this global electric dream? Marnie talks to experts about the practicalities of power supply and charging, takes a ride in an electric prototype with enough acceleration to impress even the most cynical petrol head and discovers an extraordinary vision for the future of personalised urban transport. Do you have a question we can turn into a programme?

The electric vehicle market seems poised to take off, with high demand for Tesla’s Model 3 and growing attention from big automakers. Yet challenges that stalled EV growth in the past, namely sparse charging infrastructure and high costs, persist. A Wharton School expert looks at the role policymakers can take to support, or sink, the EV renaissance. --- Thanks for joining the Energy Policy Now podcast for our first episode of Season 2. These are exciting times for fans of electric vehicles. Tesla, the Silicon Valley electric car maker, recently introduced its long awaited, relatively affordable Model 3, complete with a huge order backlog. Also recently, the governments of France and the UK announced their goal to phase out the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a generation, opening the door to electrics. Yet in the US the electric vehicle market has looked poised for breakthrough in the past, only to disappoint. In the 1990s General Motors developed a promising electric car, the EV1, that it subsequently sought to erase from common memory. And a century ago, around the time that Henry Ford introduced the Model T, electric cars were common. Yet they ultimately all but disappeared. John Paul MacDuffie, an expert on EV policy at the Wharton School, takes a look at policies that might help electric cars stick this time around, and at innovative government interventions that are already fueling EV markets abroad. John Paul MacDuffie is a professor of Management at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation, an international research consortium focused on the global automotive industry.

In this first of two episodes (24 minutes), electric mobility expert Chelsea Sexton talks about the state of play in the sector. She gives us a brief background how she became involved through her time as a sales rep for GM and the ill-fated EV1 project, which was the main protagonist in the cult documentary film “Who killed the electric car?”. Chelsea discusses how she and her cohorts went from pot stirrers with a goal to save the first cars and then embarked on a quixotic journey to make them part of today's mix. That journey has taken them from the consumer's enthusiasm (and anxiety) to some company's full embrace (i.e. Tesla and Nissan) or minimalist compliance-based approach. At the forefront of the electric mobility debate, she argues that the industry is still misjudging the market. The second episode will air just as the North American International Auto Show kicks off in January and will discuss the current déjà vu environment in which she feels the industry finds itself.
As the auto industry continues to explore new and different ways to power cars and trucks, engineers keep coming back to the good old battery. With the days of GM’s EV1 seeming like ancient history even though it’s only about 20 years old or so, today’s batteries are light years better. And on today’s panel John McElroy is joined by three experts: Ann Marie Sastry from Sakti3, LG’s Prabhakar Patil and Brett Smith from the Center for Automotive Research.

It won nearly every serious automotive award and had a huge carbon-free footprint of positive reviews from critics and consumers alike. So if that’s the case, why is the Volt GM’s slowest selling product? More than that, why does there seem to be such a negative charge to the car? People across the country who have never even seen a Volt let alone driven this engineering marvel have nothing good to say about it, confounding both auto analysts and company executives. On Autoline This Week John McElroy and his panel look at the strange state of GM’s engineering masterpiece the Volt. Joining John on the panel are Joe White of the Wall Street Journal, Manny Lopez from the Michigan Capitol Confidential and Gary Witzenburg an auto journalist and former engineer on GM’s original electric project, the EV1.
