In this episode, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Feann Torr from  @carsales  to unpack the electric vehicle revolution transforming Australia. From BYD and MG to Tesla and Hyundai, they discuss how Chinese automakers are shaking up the industry and driving EVs to become the most affordable option on the market. Feann shares his insights into the rapid rise of EV interest — growing from 30% to 37% of Australian car buyers — and explains how China has become the country's third-largest source of car imports. They also discuss how Chinese EVs are winning the price war, the psychological shift that's making electric cars feel like “just another car” to new buyers, and why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is converting even the most loyal V8 fans. Finally, Feann and Robert couldn't help but get just a little excited about the groundbreaking potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and what it could mean for an energy-independent Australia.  https://www.carsales.com.au/ 00:00:07 - Global EV Adoption: Norway, China, and the General State of Growth 00:01:47 - Introducing Feann Torr & Carsales Australia's Editorial Focus 00:02:38 - EV Price Parity: The Electric Car is Becoming the Cheapest Option 00:04:30 - Feann's Background, from Video Games to the Automotive Crossroads 00:06:08 - The Chinese EV Invasion in Australia (BYD, GWM) 00:08:45 - The Psychology of EV Adoption: EVs as "Just Cars" 00:09:52 - Country of Origin: Dealing with Geopolitical Pushback 00:12:06 - The Shifting Mindset: Diminishing EV Resistance (Australia's 8% Market) 00:14:14 - The Narrowing Cost Gap & The Arrival of Sub-$30,000 EVs 00:16:17 - Chinese Cars Overtake Korean Brands in Australian Imports 00:18:20 - Shock at the Shanghai Motor Show & Chinese Tech Dominance 00:20:51 - Mainstream Japanese Brands (Mazda/Toyota) Partnering for EV Platforms 00:23:49 - The Rapid Growth of Australia's Charging Network (EVIE, Charge Fox) 00:27:07 - On-Street Charging Rules and Innovative Lamppost Chargers in Sydney 00:30:16 - Tesla's Dominance Challenged by New, Affordable Chinese Rivals 00:33:38 - The Value of the Everything Electric Test Drive Experience (130k Drives) 00:37:07 - Carsales Survey Data: Rising EV Consideration (30% to 37%) 00:39:06 - The Secondhand EV Market & Steep Depreciation (Good for Buyers) 00:43:57 - Busting the Battery Replacement Myth (CATL's 90-Year Battery) 00:50:31 - The Enthusiast Market: V8s vs. High-Performance EVs (Hyundai Ioniq 5 N) 00:56:45 - The Argument for Energy Independence & Australia's Solar Capacity 01:03:00 - The Future: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Powering Your Home from Your Car 01:05:01 - Beyond Cars: Electric Skateboards, Ferries, and Flying Vehicles 01:08:29 - Final Thoughts and Conclusion Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026   #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #australia #byd #tesla #hyundai

201. Battery Boom or Policy Bust? The Big EV Divergence - Oct25

Redefining Energy

We are in the middle of a battery boom, for EVs and even more for BESS. What's really happening in the electric vehicle (EV) market? Is China dominating the field, or are serious alternatives emerging? What roles are Europe, the U.S., and other global regions playing? Which chemistries are winning out, and how are prices trending?  These are the questions we ask ourselves every day — and today, Gerard and Laurent are thrilled to have someone who can help us answer them. Laurent and Gerard are joined by the brilliant Iola Hughes, Head of Research at Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, following its acquisition of Rho Motion.  Iola leads research across the battery demand spectrum — from EVs to stationary storage — managing forecasts, tracking battery chemistries, and analyzing the impact of everything from regulation to OEM strategies and technology roadmaps.   According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence and Rho Motion, as of 2025:The Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector is growing at 40% year-over-yearThe EV market is expanding by 25% year-over-year But perhaps the most surprising trend is that forecasts made just 18 months ago are being exceeded — in nearly every region except the United States. There, the current administration appears to be kneecapped the industry by rolling back both incentives (like tax credits) and regulations (such as CAFE and emissions standards). Nissan in the US is moving back from EVs to hybrids while GM passes billions of impairments.  On the industrial side, it's increasingly a case of China versus the world. China now has the capacity to manufacture a staggering 50 million vehicles per year, far outpacing domestic demand and sparking concerns about overcapacity.  In summary: we are witnessing a growing divide in the global battery and EV space. China is clearly in the lead. Europe and others are racing to catch up. And the U.S.? It's at risk of falling further behind — not for lack of potential, but because of political and policy choices.https://www.benchmarkminerals.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/iolahughes/  https://x.com/RhoMoIola  Stunning visuals from FT on the development of batteries (most of the sources came from Benchmark)  https://ig.ft.com/mega-batteries

A new survey conducted ahead of the European Motor Show 2026 reveals fresh insights into Irish motorists' attitudes, habits and hopes for the future of driving. The survey ran across Ireland over the past month. The survey showed that drivers predict hybrid takeover by 2035, when asked what power source their next car is most likely to use, a third opted for diesel (29.7%) and a quarter for hybrid (25.9%), keeping these two as the leading choices. Electric vehicles (11.3%) continue to lag behind, though half of all respondents (50%) believe hybrids will dominate Irish roads by 2035, compared to just one in five (21.3%) who think EVs will take the lead. For most Irish motorists, cars are still a lifeline of everyday life. When asked what they mainly use their car for, respondents could choose up to two options (out of 14) and commuting to work (57.1%), social and leisure activities (49.7%), and shopping or errands (32.8%) topped the list. And when they're behind the wheel, again with the option to choose up to two, drivers overwhelmingly prefer to tune into music radio (45.3%) over talk radio (25.3%), streaming came a close second with 43%, and podcasts at just one in every ten - proving that music still rules the road. Other findings at a glance Buying cycle & first licences - over half (58.8%) change their car every three to five years. first licences - two in five (40.9%) passed their driving test between the ages of 18-20 years old. when choosing the next car (respondents could select up to three) price leads with over two thirds (66.6%), followed by mileage (31.1%), brand reputation (29.4%) and reliability closing following (28%). Surprisingly environmental impact (3.4%) sits near the bottom, suggesting cost still outweighs climate considerations at the dealership. 'New reg' appeal is waning with two out of three (65.8%) stating that the registration plate number doesn't matter when buying a new car. When asked what they will buy next it was almost a third said diesel (29.7%), hybrid (25.9%), EV (11.3%) with thoughts on what will be king of the road in 2035: half (50%) believe hybrids will dominate Irish roads; one in five (21.3%) predict EVs will lead. When asked what they loved and hated about driving on Irish roads, scenery and views were the big positives with potholes and poor road conditions being the standout frustration. When it comes to dream cars, Irish drivers are thinking high-end, with Aston Martins, Ferraris and Audis topping the wish list. Yet, in reality, most are far more practical - with two-car households (37.5%) being the norm and the vast majority (62.9%) planning to buy second-hand next time. Clare Kilmartin COO of the European Motor Show, said: "This survey really highlights the shifting mindset of Irish drivers - they're practical, value-driven, and increasingly brand loyal, but there's also a noticeable realism about what's affordable and sustainable. It's fascinating to see how cost still trumps environmental impact for most people, even as hybrid technology becomes more mainstream. "We're looking forward to continuing this conversation at the European Motor Show, where everything from innovation and sustainability to lifestyle and performance will be up for discussion." Donal Murphy, CEO at Close Brothers Motor Finance, said: "There's a great buzz around Ireland's role in the future of motoring, and with good reason, as we're fast becoming a real force in the sector. "Close Brothers Motor Finance is proud to team up with the European Motor Show as we showcase the incredible talent we have here and put our country firmly on the map for automotive tech. The survey shows Irish drivers are practical, value-driven and increasingly tech-savvy, reflecting a country that's evolving alongside the industry." The European Motor Show 2026 will take place at the RDS, Dublin, on Saturday 31st January and Sunday 1st February 2026, showcasing the latest in motoring, technology, and mobility trends.

I have noticed the hatred towards electric vehicles growing the past five years in the natural health world. The topic has become political and there is a clinging to tradition, similar to people that didn't want to abandon the horse and buggy for the automobile, but that will pass with time. I have been saying for years: Why not see the utility and different use cases in both electric cars and gas and diesel cars? In this long time coming episode I talk about why I love owning electric vehicles being 100% off grid, the expensive lessons i've learned over the years to do it easily, how electric cars can provide ultimate freedom with solar panels, the only two car brands I found that work easily off grid, the details of my off grid setup, and I share one source of information that breaks apart every common myth you've ever heard about EVs. The biggest focus of the show is on the electromagnetic field exposure that you get riding in them. I talk about radiofrequency (RF), magnetic, and electric fields and specific supplements that fully protect your cells and mitochondria from harmful effects, namely lipid peroxidation. Human health is about adaptation, not putting yourself in a bubble. We can enjoy modern technological advancements without sacrificing our health or sovereignty.  My website: www.matt-blackburn.com My supplements: www.mitolife.co Study I referenced: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9608227/ Ben Sullins EV myths: https://www.youtube.com/@BenSullinsOfficial/featured

This Day in Legal History: Nuremberg ExecutionsOn October 16, 1946, ten prominent Nazi war criminals were executed by hanging in the aftermath of the landmark Nuremberg Trials, held to prosecute key figures of the Third Reich for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes against peace. The executions marked the culmination of months of legal proceedings conducted by an international military tribunal composed of judges from the Allied powers: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and France. Among those hanged was Joachim von Ribbentrop, Hitler's former Foreign Minister, convicted for his role in orchestrating Nazi foreign policy and enabling the Holocaust.The trials had concluded in late September 1946, with 12 of the 22 main defendants receiving death sentences. However, Hermann Göring, one of the most high-profile defendants and head of the Luftwaffe, committed suicide by cyanide just hours before his scheduled execution. The hangings took place inside the gymnasium of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice, where the tribunal had convened, and were carried out in the early morning hours.The executions were overseen by U.S. Army personnel, and steps were taken to document them for historical record. The event was viewed by many as a pivotal moment in the establishment of international criminal law, affirming that individuals—even heads of state and high-ranking officials—could be held personally accountable for war atrocities. These proceedings laid the groundwork for future tribunals, including those for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda.Some criticized the process as “victor's justice,” pointing to perceived inconsistencies in sentencing and legal procedures. Nevertheless, the trials represented a significant shift from the post-World War I approach, which had failed to adequately prosecute war crimes. The executions on October 16 symbolized not only the end of an era of unchecked totalitarian violence but also the beginning of a new international legal order based on accountability and the rule of law.A federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's latest wave of federal layoffs, calling the move likely “illegal and in excess of authority.” In a sharply worded order, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston halted terminations that began last week, siding with a coalition of federal worker unions. Illston criticized the administration's approach as “ready, fire, aim” and warned that the human cost of such abrupt cuts is unacceptable.The layoffs—over 4,100 in total—targeted several federal agencies, with the Departments of Health and Human Services and Treasury seeing the bulk of cuts. Judge Illston's order requires the administration to report all completed and planned layoffs by Friday and set a hearing for a preliminary injunction on October 28. She also rejected the Department of Justice's attempt to steer the case toward procedural issues, stating that the legal merits were too concerning to ignore.President Trump has framed the cuts as politically motivated, stating they were aimed at eliminating programs he called “egregious socialist, semi-communist.” He added that Republican-backed programs would be spared. The administration recently lifted a long-standing hiring freeze but is now requiring agencies to submit staffing plans for approval.Union plaintiffs argue that the layoffs violate the Antideficiency Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, citing the administration's use of the government shutdown as an arbitrary justification. This case, AFGE v. OMB, marks another legal confrontation over workforce reductions, following an earlier freeze issued by Judge Illston that was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court.Trump's Shutdown-Linked Layoffs Paused by California Judge (4)The 2026 U.S. law school admissions cycle is off to an intense start, with applications up 33% compared to this time last year, according to new data from the Law School Admission Council. This surge follows last year's admissions boom and signals another highly competitive year for aspiring law students. Admissions consultant Mike Spivey noted he's never seen such a sharp early increase in over two decades of reviewing application data, predicting a likely total rise of around 20% once the cycle concludes.Several factors are driving the spike, including a tough job market for recent college graduates—whose unemployment rate now surpasses that of the broader labor force—and growing political instability. Law School Admission Council President Sudha Setty also cited concerns about the impact of AI and broader economic uncertainty as motivators for many applicants. Additionally, more people are taking the LSAT this year, up nearly 22% over 2025 levels.A recent Kaplan survey found 56% of law school admissions officers pointed to politics as a major factor behind last year's surge, with 90% expecting this cycle to be just as competitive, if not more so. Some applicants are likely reapplying after being rejected last year, or returning after delaying applications due to last year's high volume. While law schools will benefit from a deeper pool of candidates, Spivey warned the sharp increase means tougher odds for acceptance across the board.US law school applicants increase 33%, boosting competition | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's decision to fund military pay during the ongoing government shutdown is only a short-term solution, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. On Wednesday, Johnson confirmed that 1.3 million active-duty service members, along with tens of thousands of National Guard and reservists, were paid using $6.5 billion in unused military research and development funds. However, he warned that unless Democrats act to reopen the government, troops are unlikely to receive their next paycheck on October 31.The White House has not explained its legal rationale for this funding maneuver, and it hasn't requested the required congressional approvals to shift funds between accounts. Federal law caps such transfers at $8 billion annually and only allows them if the funds are used for their legally designated purposes. Without further funding authority, it's unclear how the administration could cover future military pay. While many lawmakers support a standalone bill to guarantee troop pay, Republican leaders—including Johnson and Senate Majority Whip John Thune—are resisting that option. They argue that doing so would reduce pressure to end the shutdown overall.Some Republicans, like Sen. Lisa Murkowski, say the move has reduced urgency in Congress while leaving other federal workers unpaid. The political optics are further complicated by Trump's claim that only Democrat-backed programs are being cut, as he seeks to frame the issue as partisan. Internally, GOP leaders worry that passing targeted funding bills could open the door to broader demands for agency-by-agency funding relief, weakening their leverage in shutdown negotiations.By way of brief background, the move likely violates the Antideficiency Act (ADA), which bars federal officials from spending money before or beyond congressional appropriations. Trump reportedly ordered the Department of Defense to divert funds from the RDT&E account—meant for weapons research—to cover military payroll. That account is not legally authorized for such use, and the funds may have also exceeded their availability period.This raises two major legal issues. First, under the Appropriations Clause (Article I, § 9, cl. 7), only Congress may authorize government spending. The president cannot repurpose funds without specific legislative approval. Second, the ADA prohibits both misappropriation of purpose (spending money on unauthorized functions) and misappropriation of timing (using expired funds). If proven willful, such violations can carry criminal penalties, though prosecutions are rare.Beyond the legal breach, this act could set a dangerous precedent. If courts decline to intervene, it could signal that future presidents—regardless of party—can redirect federal funds without congressional consent. This would erode legislative power and potentially turn the presidency into a de facto appropriations authority, undermining the Constitution's separation of powers.Special thanks to Bobby Kogan, the Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy for the Center for American Progress, for his instructive Bluesky post explaining the deficiency issue in a way much clearer and more succinctly than I otherwise would have been able to.Trump's troop pay move is a ‘temporary fix,' Johnson says - Live Updates - POLITICOPost by @did:plc:drfb2pdjlnsqkfgsoellcahm — BlueskyA piece I wrote for Forbes this week looks at how Norway is showing the rest of the world how to end EV subsidies without wrecking the market. The country announced in its latest budget that it will phase out its long-standing value-added tax (VAT) exemption for electric vehicles—partially in 2026, and fully by 2027. This might seem like a policy retreat, but the timing is deliberate: EVs now make up 95–98% of new car sales in Norway. The market has matured, and the subsidy is no longer essential.I argue that this is what smart policy looks like—temporary support that steps aside when it's no longer needed. The U.S., by contrast, killed its federal EV tax credit abruptly and politically, without phasing it out or adapting it for current market conditions. In doing so, it treated the credit as a political symbol rather than a market tool. Norway, on the other hand, used the exemption strategically, aligning it with broader policy goals and allowing it to sunset once those goals were met.The piece highlights how the U.S. often fears both removing and maintaining subsidies, caught in a cycle where incentives become political footballs. Norway's approach offers a model for how to responsibly end subsidies: gradually, rationally, and only once the market no longer needs them. This isn't anti-EV or anti-climate policy—it's a sign that the original policy worked.Norway Shows How To End EV Subsidies Without Killing The Market This is a public episode.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Scott Brown shares his insights on key challenges in the automotive aftermarket, including ADAS, EV maintenance, and industry adoption. ADAS Calibration and LiabilityScott emphasizes the importance of proper ADAS calibration, required by manufacturers after certain repairs. Skipping it exposes shops to liability, and he advises refusing jobs if required calibration is declined. Despite its necessity, the industry adoption is low. EV Tooling and SafetyWhile basic shop tools suffice for many EV services, high-voltage work demands safety training and PPE. Looking ForwardUsing his aviator metaphor of “runway,” Scott stresses that shops must evolve, specializing in ADAS and EV maintenance to stay competitive as EVs become the future of mobility. Scott's insights make one thing clear: the automotive industry is changing fast, and shops that embrace ADAS and EV expertise now will be the ones leading the market tomorrow. Staying informed, trained, and prepared isn't just smart—it's essential for long-term success. Scott Brown, Founder of Diagnostic Network. Scott's previous episodes HERE.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1170: California's new CARS Act sets tough transparency rules for dealers, a new report exposes EV charging's reliability gap, and Elon Musk's xAI looks to raise $20 billion—with Nvidia both selling the chips and buying in.Show Notes with links:Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the California Combating Auto Retail Scams (CARS) Act, a landmark law that establishes new consumer protection standards and stricter sales transparency across the state beginning in 2026.The California CARS Act closely mirrors roughly 70% of the FTC's now-vacated federal CARS Rule and prohibits dealers from misrepresenting key facts about vehicle sales, leases, or financing.The law requires clear and conspicuous disclosure of total vehicle price and the voluntary nature of add-ons.The CARS Act bans “valueless” add-ons, such as unnecessary service contracts or redundant protection products.Buyers of used vehicles under $50,000 now have a three-day right to cancel with mileage and condition limits.A new EV Charging Reliability Report from ChargerHelp! reveals a critical gap between charger availability and usability, showing that nearly one in three charging attempts fails despite reported uptime near 99%.The study analyzed 100,000 sessions across 2,400 chargers, finding only a 71% first-time charge success rate (FTCSR).ChargerHelp! CEO Kameale Terry argues FTCSR is the true measure of reliability—not uptime—because “it captures the real driver experience.”The biggest culprit is software fragmentation, with EVs, chargers, and payment systems often failing to communicate properly.Reliability declines with aging infrastructure, as older stations drop from 85% to 70% success after three years due to outdated protocols.Terry remains hopeful: “It's a solvable problem... even gas cars had their growing pains before becoming mainstream.”Elon Musk's xAI is reportedly seeking a $20 billion fundraising deal that could include Nvidia both as a chip supplier and as a key investor—an arrangement highlighting the increasingly intertwined nature of the AI hardware race.The proposed structure reportedly combines equity and debt within a special-purpose vehicle that would buy Nvidia chips and lease them back to xAI.Nvidia could contribute up to $2 billion in equity while also profiting from the chip sales.Analysts note the “circular” nature of these AI financing deals, where investors also serve as vendors.Nvidia has made similar moves recently, including a $100 billion commitment to OpenAI and a $5 billion stake in Intel.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/

-Just about a month after being accused of using pirated books to train its AI, Apple is facing another similar proposed class action lawsuit. As first reported by Bloomberg Law, two neuroscience professors from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in Brooklyn claimed that Apple used their "registered works without authorization." The neuroscientists said Apple trained its AI models using "shadow libraries" and "web-crawling software" that provide access to pirated, copyrighted books, including two of their own. -The controversial preservation order requiring OpenAI to indefinitely keep records of its ChatGPT data has been terminated. A federal judge filed a new order on October 9 that frees OpenAI of an obligation to "preserve and segregate all output log data that would otherwise be deleted on a going forward basis." -One of the most affordable EVs in America, the Chevrolet Bolt, has made its long-awaited comeback.

Without infrastructure, access, and inclusion, adoption doesn't happen.EVs, he argues, are a mirror for how we build systems: Who benefits, who's left out, and who gets a say?TL;DR* Equity first: EV access must include every neighborhood, not just the affluent.* Infrastructure gap: Charging deserts echo old redlining patterns.* Ethical supply: Sustainable batteries require fair labor, not just clean tech.* Density wins: Transit, walkability, and urban design matter more than suburban car swaps.* Trust gap: People don't adopt systems they don't feel included in.Memorable lines* “We'll buy in when it's built for everyone.”* “You can't be in community while there's smoke.

We cover how this shapes daily life and growth (from subways and high-speed rail to batteries, EVs, and drones), common western misconceptions about China (surveillance, social credit, “imminent collapse”), why U.S. capital markets soar while Chinese manufacturing dominates, what an American “abundance agenda” could look like, and Dan's closing prescription: the U.S. needs ~20% more engineering; China needs ~50% more rights-protecting legalism.  ------

Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%. Popular models like Tesla's Model Y, Skoda Elroq, and Model 3 contributed to momentum, reinforcing investment in charging infrastructure and fleet electrification. FRANCE SEPTEMBER EV MARKET UPDATE France saw 140,090 total registrations in September with plug-in vehicles making up 29% of sales, as BEVs and PHEVs increased their market share compared to last year. The Tesla Model Y led the month's results with its best French volume in two years, pointing to strengthening Q3 demand for electrification despite a slight year-to-date shortfall. AUDI US EV SALES SURGE Q3 2025 Audi's U.S. EV sales leaped 232% to 18,071 units in Q3 2025, with electrics making up 39% of the brand's quarterly volume as the Q6 e-tron outsold its ICE sibling Q5. The shift signals consumer preference for electric variants, but ongoing growth depends on scaled production, dealer readiness, and effective ownership economics. CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models. The offers, restricted to dealer inventory and requiring delivery by early November, are intended to prevent immediate price hikes and maintain sales amidst changing incentives. DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year. SCANIA HIGH-FLOOR ELECTRIC COACH PLATFORM Scania has launched a high-floor battery-electric coach platform with up to 600 km range, supporting multiple body types and maintaining luggage space comparable to conventional coaches. The new platform comes with integrated smart charging services and aims to advance commercial vehicle electrification across Europe.

ILLINOIS EV FAST CHARGING: $15 FLAT Universal EV Chargers now provide flat-rate, $15-per-session DC fast charging across Illinois, eliminating time-based pricing and surprise surcharges.

We could have guessed this once we saw the data, which was somewhat unfavourable and showed an increase of 14,000 in the number of unemployed. At the aggregate level for the eurozone, this increase was 11,000, offset by other more moderate readings. However, we continue to see that tension in the labour market is gradually easing, especially when we consider that employment expectations have weakened.  Source:  thecorner.eu  German Auto Industry Expected to Lose 100,000 Jobs in Next Four Years Following the “Build Back Better” agenda, the EU went all in for green energy proposals.  EU banking and finance followed suit, funding investment capital for electric vehicles (EVs) to replace combustion engines.  Unfortunately, this put the EU, specifically Germany, in the position of competing against the largest EV industrial base in the world, China. The second major flaw was capital only flowing to the EV sector, and Europeans -along with the majority of the industrial west- are just not buying EVs at a production capacity to match prior investment. Put it all together and Germany is trying to compete with China to produce a product their consumer base doesn't want. GERMANY – ZF Friedrichshafen's announcement that it is cutting 7,600 positions adds to the German supplier industry's troubles as parts makers struggle to manage the shift to EVs, along with falling demand for combustion engine components and increased competition from Chinese suppliers. Including job losses at Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche, the German auto industry is expected to eliminate nearly 100,000 jobs by 2030, according to an analysis by Bloomberg. Bankruptcies among German suppliers are climbing sharply, with 30 percent more expected in 2025 compared with last year, according to a report from consultancy Falkensteg.  Source: theconservativetreehouse.com (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:18510697282300316,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-8599-9832"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="https://cdn2.decide.dev/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1973857269935939833 +1.82% on a year-over-year basis, the smallest gain since July 2023.
