NIO reports Q3 2025 earnings on November 25, 2025, just two days away, with the entire market watching whether the company can achieve its first quarterly profit in Q4 2025. This episode examines how Cathie Wood's foundational EV investment thesis is being tested by current lithium carbonate price surges and what it means for NIO's path to profitability.Cathie Wood and ARK Invest built their entire EV bull case on Wright's Law, which states that battery costs decline 28 percent for every cumulative doubling of production volume. This is not time-based like Moore's Law but volume-based, meaning more units produced equals predictably lower costs. In ARK's Big Ideas 2024 report published February 2024, Cathie Wood predicted electric vehicles would reach 74 million units annually by 2030, up from 10 million in 2023, representing a 33 percent compound annual growth rate. The key driver is falling battery costs making EVs cheaper than gasoline vehicles, with ARK projecting 1.4 trillion dollars in annual EV revenue by 2030 and 140 billion dollars in industry EBITDA.However, lithium carbonate prices have surged to 100,000 yuan per ton in November 2025, up 70 percent from 58,500 yuan in June 2025. The most-active lithium carbonate futures contract on Guangzhou Futures Exchange jumped 9 percent in a single session to 95,200 yuan on November 17. Ganfeng Lithium Chairman Li Liangbin predicted that if demand growth exceeds 30 to 40 percent in 2026, supply cannot be balanced in the short term and prices may reach 150,000 to 200,000 yuan per ton, effectively doubling from current levels.Four factors are driving the lithium price surge: First, China's purchase tax exemption for EVs ends December 31, 2025, causing consumers to rush purchases before year-end with domestic lithium carbonate consumption surging to 135,000 metric tons in November, up over 40 percent year-over-year. Second, energy storage demand is stealing automotive supply with China's energy storage lithium battery shipments reaching 430 GWh in the first nine months of 2025, exceeding 30 percent of all 2024. Energy storage uses the same lithium iron phosphate chemistry as mass-market EVs. Third, supply is stalling with China's lithium carbonate output growth slowing to 1.4 percent in November and the Jiangxiawo mine producing 65,000 tons annually or 6 percent of global supply shut down since August. Fourth, social lithium carbonate inventories declined for 13 consecutive weeks to a record low of 28.1 days turnover versus healthy levels of 45-60 days.In October 2025, Cathie Wood's ARK Autonomous Technology and Robotics ETF purchased 124,523 shares of BYD valued at 1.7 million dollars. BYD now represents 1.06 percent of ARK's combined portfolio at 14.5 million dollars. This is significant because BYD overtook Tesla in global battery electric vehicle deliveries with Q4 2024 deliveries of 595,000 units versus Tesla's 496,000 units. BYD's revenue outpaced Tesla's in 2024 and BYD recently unveiled chargers four times more powerful than Tesla's capable of 5-minute charging. Critically, BYD vertically integrates battery production by manufacturing their own Blade batteries in-house, meaning when lithium prices spike BYD controls their entire supply chain unlike Tesla or NIO who rely on external suppliers.The central question is whether Wright's Law breaks under lithium price pressure. The answer is no but it bends temporarily for four reasons: First, lithium is one input not the entire battery pack which includes cells, battery management systems, thermal management and housing, so even if lithium doubles overall pack costs might only increase 30-40 percent while other components continue declining. Second, oversupply is temporary with global lithium supply projected at 1.7 million tons versus 1.55 million tons demand leaving a 200,000 ton surplus, and as prices rise idle

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with a powerful roundtable featuring Dr. Kelly Victory (https://www.rushtoreason.com/dr-kelly-victory-2), trauma and public-health expert, and Steve House, former health-care executive and longtime analyst. Together, they take listeners into a fast-moving, unfiltered look at free speech, medical censorship, and the disturbing global trends shaping public policy. Why did honest medical debate vanish during COVID? Why is the CDC now admitting gaps in vaccine-autism research after years of denial? And how far are today's Malthusian-minded leaders willing to go—climate mandates, 15-minute cities, population control agendas—to gain power over your daily life? The conversation goes deeper as Steve and Dr. Kelly expose a growing crisis of trust: a collapse in confidence in doctors, the media, the legal system, and government. What happens when truth becomes subjective, experts contradict each other, and critical thinking disappears? And what does it cost to stand against the narrative? Packed with raw honesty, firsthand experiences, and piercing questions, this hour asks listeners to decide: will you choose freedom over force… and can America recover before the window closes? HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a powerful, no-nonsense interview featuring Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is a Habit (https://courageisahabit.org), who exposes what he calls the real mission of today's public schools. Is K–12 education still focused on academics—or has it become a pipeline for social-justice indoctrination, emotional manipulation, and Marxist ideology disguised as “empathy” and “mental health”? Alvin breaks down how language contamination, restorative justice, and culturally responsive teaching reshape children's worldview by teaching them to rely on the government, not their parents. How do you protect your kids when teachers get the “best hours” of your child's day… and you only get the leftovers? Then the hour pivots to government overreach on a broader scale—from California's jaw-dropping proposal that could force teens up to age sixteen into booster seats, to new credit-card surcharge schemes that threaten to nickel-and-dime consumers into submission. Are these policies really about safety and business costs… or part of a growing trend where personal freedom shrinks and regulation expands? Packed with insight, candor, and urgency, this hour dares listeners to ask: How much control are we willing to give away—and who benefits when we do? HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes out of the gate with Jersey Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) and John taking on one of the biggest battles of our time: truth vs. deception. What happens when people build their worldview on memes, bad data, and AI-generated political fakes that look and sound like the real thing? From Thomas Sowell's warnings about moral superiority to a deepfake Bernie Sanders quote that even Joe fell for, the hour raises a chilling question: how do you find truth in a world where lies are easier than ever to manufacture? Then the tone shifts to opportunity and grit, as Mike Rowe and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang predict that America's next millionaires won't come from Silicon Valley—they'll come from the trades. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, and young entrepreneurs willing to take risks are building wealth the old-fashioned way: sweat, skill, and guts. But the hour doesn't stay calm for long. Joe and John rip through outrageous real-world stories—dangerous crime policies, ICE operations, exploding government costs, and EVs that fail spectacularly. Finally, Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment (https://www.americancommitment.org), exposes the stunning truth about AARP and its billion-dollar ties to UnitedHealth. Is the nation's most famous “senior advocacy group” really advocating for seniors… or something far more lucrative? Hour Three is packed with facts, fire, and the kind of questions that make you rethink everything.

NIO reports Q3 2025 earnings on November 25, 2025, just five days away, with all eyes on whether the company can achieve its first quarterly profit in Q4 despite an escalating battery supply crisis. This episode provides a critical update on the battery shortage situation that has worsened significantly since last week.The battery crisis has reached new levels of desperation. Purchasing managers from major Chinese automakers are now stationed outside CATL headquarters carrying their company seals, booking hotels nearby, and moving their purchasing offices next to battery factories. Senior executives are personally leading battery task forces to secure supply. XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng revealed he has been drinking with all battery manufacturer bosses over the past two weeks trying to secure allocation.CATL reported Q3 2025 revenue of RMB 104.186 billion, up 12.9 percent year-over-year, with net profit of RMB 18.549 billion, up 41.21 percent. The company was operating around the clock in October with production capacity almost unsustainable. JP Morgan's supply-demand model shows power battery industry capacity utilization will exceed 80 percent for the first time since 2022.The crisis is concentrated in two areas: high-nickel ternary batteries used in premium models priced above 300,000 yuan including NIO ES8, Li Auto L8, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, and Aito M7/M9, plus lithium iron phosphate batteries being diverted from automotive to energy storage applications.Lithium carbonate futures prices have surged 20 percent over the past month, with the most-active contract on Guangzhou Futures Exchange jumping 9 percent in a single session to 95,200 yuan per ton on November 17, approaching the psychological 100,000 yuan threshold. Since November alone, lithium has accumulated nearly 17 percent gains. Ganfeng Lithium Group Chairman Li Liangbin predicted 30 percent demand growth next year, with scenarios projecting lithium could reach 150,000 to 200,000 yuan per ton if demand accelerates.Four factors are driving the lithium price surge: First, China's energy storage lithium battery shipments reached 165 GWh in Q3 2025, up 65 percent year-over-year, with first nine months totaling 430 GWh exceeding 30 percent of all 2024. Energy storage uses the same lithium iron phosphate chemistry as mass-market EVs, creating competition for supply. Second, China's lithium carbonate output growth slowed to 1.4 percent in November while social inventories declined for 13 consecutive weeks, falling to a record low of 28.1 days turnover versus healthy levels of 45-60 days. Third, China's Jiangxiawo lithium mine producing 65,000 tons annually has been shut since August due to expired permits, removing 7,000 tons per month or roughly 10 percent of domestic supply. Fourth, purchase tax policy changes are front-loading demand with domestic lithium carbonate consumption surging to 135,000 metric tons in November, up over 40 percent year-over-year.Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory celebrated its 5 millionth battery pack rolling off the line on November 12, 2025. Tesla independently develops cell chemistry and designs battery pack structure but sources cells from CATL and LG Energy Solution rather than manufacturing in-house. This represents a hybrid self-reliance strategy. However, Tesla's October retail sales in China fell to 26,006 units, the lowest since November 2022, down 35.76 percent year-over-year and 63.64 percent month-over-month, indicating demand problems rather than supply constraints.Automakers are responding with three self-rescue strategies: First, the self-reliant approach represented by Tesla and BYD who develop their own batteries. NIO once pursued this but stopped due to huge R&D costs and is now planning to spin off its battery manufacturing department. Second, the joint venture approach like Li Auto partnering with Sunwoda

The UK automotive sector is navigating a period of significant change, with government policy, economic pressures, and international competition shaping the landscape. Ford UK boss Lisa Brankin outlines the risks posed by reported government measures, including a “pay per mile” on EVs, one of the measures the Chancellor is supposedly looking to address. Brankin tells Sean Farrington that these changes could further suppress demand for electric vehicles at a time when the market is already fragile. She also draws attention to the role of employee car benefit schemes, explaining that any reduction in these incentives could have a substantial impact on the auto industry.Ambitious climate targets set by the government are juxtaposed with the realities of consumer demand, as Brankin describes a market where regulatory ambition outpaces public appetite for electric vehicles. She calls for a coordinated and consistent approach to policy, stressing that ongoing government support is essential for the industry to meet net zero objectives. The interview also addresses the effects of economic uncertainty and the increasing influence of Chinese car manufacturers, which present additional challenges for established brands like Ford.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Introduction and welcome from Fliss and Sean 02:39 Lisa Brankin joins pod discusses tough UK car industry 06:36 Electric vehicle targets and government policy impact 15:29 Chinese car manufacturers and competition 21:21 Brand loyalty and UK manufacturing footprint 26:16 Northern Ireland's economy and opportunities

-Spotify has unveiled an upcoming interactive feature called SongDNA designed to show you the samples, collaborators and covers included in a given track, the company announced. As part of that update, Spotify also revealed that it has acquired WhoSampled, the company behind the SongDNA technology. -Google is rolling out an update to Maps that brings some new tools to the table, including the ability to check on EV charger availability. The app already showed the location of EV chargers, but not if they were available or not. In other words, it was entirely possible to roll up to a charging station only to find a line of EVs waiting for juice. -European policymakers have proposed sweeping changes to the way the EU regulates the tech industry. In just the last few months, the likes of Meta and Google have questioned strict EU policies relating to privacy and AI expansion, but if the European Commission's new package of proposals are passed, a number of big tech roadblocks will be removed.

Today, we're hopping back into the archive and revisiting an episode with Gerard Barron, the co-founder, CEO, and chairman of The Metals Company, who joined us to discuss the company's plans to harvest critical metals off the sea floor.  Summary:The Trump administration has made American reindustrialization a top priority, but to do that, the US is going to need access to an abundance of metals like copper, manganese and nickel. The challenge then is to find a way to source these materials that doesn't rely on Chinese supply chains, and won't lead to serious environmental harm.Gerard Barron is the co-founder, CEO and chairman of The Metals Company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the symbol TMC. The Metals Company mission is to harvest and process metal-containing nodules from the sea floor, providing a clean and abundant source of raw materials for an array of critical industries, like steelmaking and EV production. Gerard walks us through the evolution of TMC, their groundbreaking tech, and some recent regulatory breakthroughs that have brought them closer to achieving their goals than ever before.Highlights:The Metals Company Mission (2:07)The history of seabed harvesting (3:43)Land-based supply chains (7:17)TMC's tech (10:44)Regulatory roadblocks (12:28)Defense implications (15:51)EVs (17:37)Korea Zinc deal (19:41)Looking ahead (21:34)PE Involvement (24:22) Links:Gerard's LinkedInThe Metals Company LinkedInThe Metals Company WebsiteICR LinkedInICR TwitterICR Website Feedback:If you have questions about the show, or have a topic in mind you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, Joe@lowerstreet.co.

In this episode, we go deep on the shifting landscape of Bitcoin mining hardware, open-source firmware, and why trustless stacks matter for miners big and small. Fresh off the local Bitcoin++ in Durham, we recap the vibe: a developer-heavy crowd, real collaboration between devs and miners, and our announcement of the Mujina developer preview—an open-source mining firmware now publicly accessible for hands-on testing. We discuss practical demo plans for the HeatPunk Summit, creative power ideas (from inverter gens to EVs like the F-150 Lightning/Cybertruck), and what it takes to stage quiet, controlled mining demos. From secure boot cat-and-mouse games to aftermarket control boards, we unpack why closed firmware is antithetical to Bitcoin's trust-minimized ethos, the history from CGMiner and GPL violations, and how LibriBoard, Hydro Pool, and Start9 packaging can radically reduce friction for at-home and pro operators. We also cover Stratum v2 progress, open-source community wins (Home Assistant integrations, config-first setups), and tangible on-ramps for developers—including free Auradine chips from 256 Foundation for reverse engineering and Bitaxe-based Mujina dev workflows. We close with a candid segment on Freedom Tech, the chilling effects of targeting software developers, and why building and supporting open-source tools is essential for a free society.

In this episode, our guest is Jaap Burger, a leading voice on EV smart charging and consumer energy flexibility. Based in Brussels and focused on EU policy on EVs, Jaap unpacks how electric vehicles, bi-directional charging, and automation are transforming consumers from passive users into active participants in the energy transition. We discussed: Why Norway's EV policy is more about smart taxation than subsidies; how Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is moving from theory to large-scale deployment;  the impact of thermal waste from ICE vehicles on urban heat; and the role of automation in unlocking flexible demand at scale; and how energy communities and equitable access can democratize electrification Jaap also touches on energy-efficient cooking, smart home innovations, and why well-insulated homes matter more than ever in the age of renewables. With passion and clarity, he paints a compelling picture of a user-centric, decentralized energy system—and how we all have a role to play. Please join to find more.

A viral clip of an EV igniting was what started my worries about safety in car parks I have been designing. Are we ready for fast growing fires? Since 2019 I've learned and studied a lot, I've relaxed on some aspects of it and was able to identify they areas where a lot more engineering considerations should be placed. In this episode I would like to take you inside the engineering choices that shape outcomes: ceiling height, smoke control, structural details, and how fast systems wake up when seconds matter. Instead of arguing EV versus ICE, we look at what the data shows across 148 vehicle fire tests and why there's no single “true” car fire curve.Think of a car as a set of compartments—the cabin, engine bay, trunk, wheels, and for EVs the battery pack—each with its own vents and barriers. That lens explains the wildly different heat release profiles you see in experiments and helps you separate worst-case lab setups from realistic design scenarios. We unpack why rapid battery-led growth is so challenging for low garages, how beams can trap and extend flames under the ceiling, and how wind can either help by stripping hot gases or hurt by pushing fire across bays.From there, we focus on consequences and controls. For evacuation, the goal is to avoid early smoke cut-offs and protect crowded egress moments after events. For firefighting, the single most important factor is a clear entry path—no smoke between the crew and the fire—so water can be applied fast to stop spread, even if battery cooling remains lengthy. For structure, isolated car fires shouldn't be catastrophic in robust frames, but long, multi-vehicle burns can threaten integrity without early control.What works? Height buys time and reduces ceiling flame attachment. Smart smoke control drains energy from the layer and lowers radiation to neighboring cars. Thoughtful layouts keep chargers away from exits and closer to exhaust paths. And suppression systems may not “kill” a battery, but they cut plume temperatures, slash spread potential, and make the entire operation safer. We also surface key gaps: natural battery-initiated growth rates, context-specific risk acceptance, and handling potential explosive gas releases with low-level detection and dilution modes.If you like to learn more, see more here:Miechówka & Węgrzyński: Systematic Literature Review on Passenger Car Fire Experiments for Car Park Safety DesignZahir & César Martín-Gómez: Evaluating Fire Severity in Electric Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles: A Statistical Approach to Heat Release RatesCollection of Fire Science Show episodes on cars and batteriesEpisode 6 - my early research on fast fire growthEpisode 190 - Review of research on vehicle firesPodcast episode 135 - Contemplating a car park design fire----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

China has some 36 million EVs (electric vehicles) on its roads. But their batteries don't last forever. With the first generation of EVs coming to the end of their lifespans, Beijing now faces a new problem: how to recycle and reuse the thousands of EV batteries that are spread across the country? Our correspondents Jan Camenzind Broomby and Eudeline Boishult report.

This is how we end up in trouble. Things are said that aren't challenged. Here's the headline: "NZ will be dumping ground for high emission cars". That was a claim from an EV lobby group. I wonder why they would say that? Chris Hipkins said, or was allowed to say, that we had one of the highest uptakes of EVs in the world and the Government stopped it. Now, let's deal with fact and context. The Government in their announcement over car import charges has a mess on its hands and it's a mess because the previous Government invented a set of rules that don't work, didn't work and were never going to work. They gerrymandered a market and that is rarely smart economics, or politics. Hipkins' reference was to his subsidy scheme for EVs when the taxpayer gave thousands to middle class Tesla buyers. Now, was it one of the highest uptakes in the world? I don't know, but it certainly helped sales because discounted stuff and stuff paid for by other people tends to help sales. If the Government offered to renovate your bathroom, I reckon bathroom renovations would explode. As for a dumping ground? How about less snobbery and more acceptance that New Zealanders are allowed to buy the sort of car they want? A lot of people don't have $50,000-80,000 (or even $30,000 if you go Chinese) for an EV. Even if they do a lot of people simply don't want an EV – some people want a hybrid and that's fine. But you direct people through taxes towards outcomes at your peril. The climate obsession has upended markets and driven a level of complexity through charges that the Government literally doesn't know how to get out of. They have importers bringing cars in they can't sell. What's the point of that? People will buy what people will buy. This isn't China where you are told what to do and when you are cajoled, allegedly through tax and fees, look what happens. The biggest irony is supply is an issue. The importers can't get the stock they need. Why not? Well one reason is because we drive on the opposite side of the road than a lot of countries. And the other is that manufacturers are pulling back on production of the cars that the Government scheme wants you to import. Why are they doing that you ask? Because they can't sell them! Obsession, interference, meddling and stupidity will trip you up every time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1198: Audi taps Scout Motors to build its first U.S.-made SUV, the used-car market cools while EVs heat up, and Ford trades “The Glass House” for a high-tech headquarters built for its next century.Show Notes with links:Audi is shifting its U.S. strategy with plans for a large electric SUV designed specifically for American buyers—but instead of building a new plant, it'll lean on Scout Motors' upcoming South Carolina facility.The new SUV will use Scout's body-on-frame EV platform with a range extender for longer driving distances.Production starts in late 2027, giving Audi its first U.S.-built model without a multibillion-dollar factory investment.The move helps Audi avoid steep import tariffs while boosting its U.S. competitiveness.Scout CEO Scott Keogh hinted at more group synergies: “There is certainly a possibility that other exciting products from the group will definitely be built there.”The used-car market is finding its rhythm again—though buyers are taking their time. Prices keep climbing, but EVs are now the surprise speed sellers of the segment.The average three-year-old car spent 41 days on lots in Q3 2025, the slowest turnover since 2017.The average transaction price hit $31,067, up 5% from last year and nearly $10K higher than pre-pandemic.EVs sold fastest at just 34 days, beating hybrids (40 days) and gas models (43 days).Two-thirds of used EVs were priced between $20K–$30K, often with under 40,000 miles, giving them the best value in the market.Edmunds found that eight of the 19 fastest-selling three-year-old vehicles were EVs, led by the Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.For the first time since 1956, Ford is moving its headquarters—trading “The Glass House” for a massive, ultra-modern campus designed to reflect the automaker's tech-driven future.The new 2.1 million-square-foot “Ford World Headquarters” doubles the size of the old site, featuring seven restaurants and a 160,000-square-foot food hall.A dramatic showroom dubbed a “James Bond villain's lair” serves as the centerpiece for product reveals and executive decision-making.The move, just three miles from the old HQ, brings over 14,000 employees within a seven-minute walk of the new complex.Ford's goal: attract top software and AI talent and foster collaboration—something “The Glass House” wasn't built for.Ford Land's Jennifer Kolstad said, “When you're in it, you feel like you are in the center of automotive design.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Changes to the Clean Car Standard has been partly caused by supply problems out of Japan. The Government is slashing charges on importers who don't meet carbon targets by almost 80% and launching a full review. It is expected to save about $264 million in costs to consumers and will keep imported cars cheaper. Transport Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking it's been tough getting EVs into the country. He says importers are racking up penalties and don't have the supply to get credits. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Transport Minister says the Government's focused on getting details right - in a speedy change to the 2023 Clean Vehicle Standard - this week. It originally gave importers credits for meeting carbon targets, and charged them for missing. The Government will now slash them nearly 80 percent, to prevent charges landing consumers. Chris Bishop says they're focused on rolling out change very quickly. "The take-home point for people listening is that they're no longer going to be slugged with potentially thousands of dollars of extra charges just for buying a car next year."

Thanks to our friends at Cars Commerce and Curbee for making it possible. 25% off registration with code MoreThanCars. https://laautoshow.com/meShow Notes with links:After years of hesitation and a short-lived MX-30, Mazda is officially moving its EV plans forward with its first dedicated electric vehicle now in testing in California. This marks a pivotal shift in strategy as the automaker works to electrify its global lineup.A prototype midsize electric crossover, resembling a smaller CX-90, was recently spotted near Mazda's Irvine R&D center.Built on the new Skyactiv EV Scalable Architecture, it's Mazda's first EV designed specifically for the U.S. market.Production is slated for 2027, with U.S. sales expected in 2028.Mazda is investing nearly $11 billion in electrification, but it has scaled back its EV sales target from 100% to 45%  to 25% by 2030.Impel is putting its money where its vision is by investing in Automotive Ventures' Mobility Fund II, signaling a strong commitment to driving innovation in the auto retail space through early-stage tech.The fund focus areas include AI, robotics, mobility, and industrial tech aimed at transforming how vehicles are sold and serviced.The investment highlights Impel's strategy to back technologies that boost dealership productivity and experience as they Impel bring their AI tools and vast dealership network to support startups within the fund.Impel joins a group of forward-looking investors aiming to accelerate innovation that benefits dealers, OEMs, and consumers alike.Michael Quigley (Impel): “Our investment... reflects our belief that meaningful transformation in automotive retail will be powered by early-stage innovation... We're helping to accelerate progress across the entire industry.”Chinese automaker Chery attempted to recreate Land Rover's legendary 999-step climb at Heaven's Gate—but instead of a viral triumph, the stunt turned into a viral fail that forced a public apology.Heaven's Gate is a famous natural rock arch on Tianmen Mountain in China, reached by a steep staircase with 999 steps and often used in extreme stunts and marketing spectacles.The Fulwin X3L SUV lost power mid-stunt, hit a railing, and rolled back into a fence.A detached safety rope entangled the right wheel, causing the mishap.Chery admitted to poor risk assessments and promised to compensate for damages and repair the area.The X3L boasts a 422 hp range-extended powertrain and is marketed as off-road capable.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

A group of residents at an Auckland retirement village are trying to put the brakes on a policy which could see electric vehicles banned within its gates. Fairview Lifestyle Village in Albany says they're concerned about the risk an EV fire would pose to the busy community's residents and homes. The policy is still in mediation, and residents who already own electric vehicles are allowed to keep them, but they're not letting any new EVs into the gated North Shore community. Retirement Village Residents Association chief executive Nigel Matthews spoke to Lisa Owen.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to Cassandra Garber, Chief Sustainability Officer of General Motors, one of the world's largest car companies.  The interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview CSOs around the world about how they're navigating the changing sustainability landscape. The sustainability space has been through enormous transformation in recent years and CSOs have a front-row seat to this evolution.  Transportation is considered one of the hard-to-abate sectors because most forms of transportation burn fossil fuels for energy. In the episode, Cassandra outlines GM's commitment to a zero-emissions, all-electric future and how the company is breaking down barriers to electric vehicle adoption — what she calls the "three Cs" of cost, charging infrastructure, and the perception that EVs are complicated.   "Reducing those tailpipe emissions and focusing on EV adoption makes our business strategy and sustainability strategy incredibly aligned," Cassandra says. "That is by far what we're focused on the most: How are we breaking down the barriers to EV adoption because it's good for business and society."  This interview took place on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner during Climate Week NYC 2025.  Listen to other episodes in the CSO Insights podcast series:  CSO Insights: Singapore's biggest bank on the 'business imperative' of climate action  CSO Insights: How a big Malaysian bank balances climate, nature, human rights and economic inclusion  CSO Insights: How sustainability pullback is playing out in Southeast Asia  Listen to our episode What to expect from COP30 Learn about the Global Carbon Markets Conference from S&P Global Commodity Insights taking place in Barcelona shortly after COP30.

The move distances it even further from rivals like Tesla and Zoox.New highway service rolls out in San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, initially for limited riders.This milestone extends Waymo's reach to San Jose and introduces airport pickups at San Jose International.The Waymo Driver has shown 91% fewer serious-injury crashes compared to human drivers.Waymo now operates over 2,500 vehicles and has logged more than 100 million driverless miles.“The Waymo Driver does not get tired, does not lose focus and does not make emotional decisions behind the wheel,” said project manager Jacopo Sannazzaro.OpenAI has rolled out GPT-5.1, calling it a smarter, more engaging upgrade to its August release of GPT-5—complete with expanded personality settings and model matching enhancements.GPT-5.1 includes “Instant” and “Thinking” variants, optimized for speed, clarity, and task persistence.New personality presets include Candid, Quirky, Nerdy, Cynical, and more, adding tone flexibility.Users will begin to see model auto-matching and personalization tools in settings.The upgrade follows user backlash to GPT-5 and competition from Anthropic powering Microsoft tools.“We're well past the point of one-size-fits-all,” said Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Car prices are heating up, but your strategy can stay cool. We sat down with Patrick Olsen of Carfax to cut through the noise and map a smarter path to your next vehicle—whether you're shopping new to beat tariff-driven pressure or hunting for a reliable used car with real value. We dig into timing the market, reading shifting inventory, and setting practical guardrails that protect your budget without giving up tech, safety, or comfort.If you're weighing used options, we break down why sedans are the overlooked bargains: late-model Civics, Accords, Camrys, and Malibus that deliver strong mpg and long-haul reliability. We talk about lease-return realities, the must-know red flags on history reports, and the truth about extended warranties versus building your own repair fund. For parents and grads, we call out the safety features that matter most—blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking—and why they deliver day-to-day dividends.Curious about used EVs? We get real on costs, home charging, and how to think about range so an affordable 150–200 mile car can be your low-cost daily driver. We compare brand trends—Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, Ford—and what's shifting in resale. Plus, we look at rental-fleet buys, separating maintenance positives from driver-abuse concerns so you can make a clear-eyed choice. To round it out, we fire up a detailed review of the 2024 Ford Mustang GT: design updates, tech quirks, driving feel, performance, and pricing that explains why the GT remains a crowd favorite.Want to browse smarter?

Tell us what you think of the show! Ready or not, electric vehicle adoption is happening in America. It feels like we've reached an inflection point- especially as range increases, EVs are simply proving to be a better mousetrap- and now there's a race coast-to-coast to bulk up the charging infrastructure needed to enable the scaling of fleets and longhaul trucking. That's no easy thing to figure out- developers must work closely with utilities to bring these power-sucking sites online without overworking the local grid. And since everyone needs power YESTERDAY, there's a timeliness component to this too- and we all know time means money.The Electric Power Research Institute, better known as EPRI, is taking on the challenge of connecting the dots and facilitating a planning process for the deployment of EV charging projects.On this episode, Factor This Content Director Paul Gerke is joined by EPRI director of transportation Britta Gross to discuss GridFAST, a central, secure portal designed to improve communication between stakeholders, bringing them together early on to ensure everyone gets what they want, when they want it- or as close to it as possible.Want to make a suggestion for This Week in Cleantech?

What a difference a year makes. A transition to EVs that once seemed utterly inevitable has been thoroughly disrupted by a change of regime in the United States. Using every tool in its arsenal to bribe, cajole and even threaten its allies into dropping any support or incentives for electrification, the USA seems intent upon reviving a past where the internal combustion engine ruled unchallenged. Will it work? Co-host Sally Dominguez, Special Correspondent Drew Smith and host Mark Pesce go looking for answers on this special two part episodes of THE NEXT BILLION CARS. Co-host Sally Dominguez and Mark Pesce reflect on something that should be easy, yet proves to be surprisingly difficult. Hosted by award-winning podcast creator, journalist & futurist Mark Pesce, The Next Billion Cars is everything you need to know about the future of cars.

PREVIEW. Canada-China Trade Talks and EV Security Concerns. Charles Burton discusses Canada-China trade talks (Carney/Xi) post-APEC concerning resuming and enhancing trade. Concerns include China exporting thousands of EVs, potentially overwhelming domestic industries and acting as security threats. Canada hopes China will manufacture EVs locally to offset Canadian auto job losses, but Burton is skeptical of this strategy and considers the Canadian government ill-advised.
