Welcome to a new Patreon ProducerKEVIN WHITHAM VOLKSWAGEN DOUBLES DELIVERIES OF ALL-ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN 2021 - More than 369,000 electric vehicles (BEVs and PHEVs) delivered worldwide in 2021 - One in four vehicles delivered by Volkswagen in Germany is a BEV/PHEV - Demand remains high: order backlog in Europe at an all-time high including 95,000 orders for all-electric IDs - Last year, the company delivered more electric vehicles worldwide than ever before, handing over more than 369,000 electric cars (+73 percent versus 2020), including approximately 106,000 PHEVs (+33 percent) and 263,000 all-electric vehicles (+97 percent) to customers. Volkswagen thus doubled its BEV deliveries year-on-year. - The proportion of purely battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) and hybrid vehicles nearly doubled to 7.5 percent of total deliveries (2020: 4 percent). In Europa, these vehicles now account for 19.3 percent of Volkswagen's deliveries (2020: 12.6 percent). Volkswagen recorded a significant increase in deliveries of electric vehicles particularly in the United States, China and Germany. In the company's home market, one in four Volkswagen vehicles was a plug-in vehicle. - A total of 77,100 BEVs (+437 percent) were delivered in China, including more than 70,000 from the ID. family, making Volkswagen one of the five biggest BEV providers in China. - 17,000 BEVs were sold in the United States - The ID.4 was the most frequently delivered of the 263,000 BEVs with 119,650 units sold, followed by the ID.3 (around 76,000), the e-up! (approximately 41,500) and just under 18,000 units of the ID.6, which Volkswagen offers exclusively in the Chinese market Original Source : https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2022/01/Volkswagen_doubles_deliveries_of_all-electric_vehicles_in_2021.html VOLKSWAGEN GROUP BATTERY-ELECTRIC VEHICLES DOUBLED IN 2021 - 452,900 battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) handed over to cus-tomers (+96 percent vs. 2020), Group clearly the BEV market leader in Europe and num-ber two in the USA, BEV volume in China up more than fourfold at 92,700 units - These now account for 5.1 percent of total deliveries, up from 2.5 percent in the previous year. The Group is the European market leader for battery-electric vehicles by a large margin and achieved the second-largest share of the key US market with about 7.5 percent. - Sales of plug-in hybrids worldwide also rose significantly to 309,500 units - The Group's top-selling battery-electric models in 2021 were (in units): – Volkswagen ID.4 119,600 – Volkswagen ID.3 75,500 – Audi e-tron (incl. Sportback) 49,200 – ŠKODA Enyaq iV 44,700 – Volkswagen e-up! 41,400 – Porsche Taycan (incl. Turismo) 41,300 Original Source : https://www.volkswagenag.com/en/news/2022/01/volkswagen-group-on-course-for-new-auto.html FACELIFTED AUDI E-TRON COULD BE RENAMED THE Q8 E-TRON - Spy photographers have snapped the facelifted Audi E-Tron on multiple occasions, but the model could adopt a new name when it is introduced later this year. - According to Automobilwoche, the updated crossover will be known as the Q8 E-Tron. While the move remains unconfirmed, it makes a lot of sense as the E-Tron moniker has been something of an oddity as there's no number associated with it to tell customers its positioning. - it appears Audi decided to bring forward the introduction of the Q8 E-Tron moniker from 2026 to 2022. This also suggests the facelifted model will stick around for approximately four years, before the all-new Q8 E-Tron is introduced. Original Source : https://www.carscoops.com/2022/01/facelifted-audi-e-tron-could-be-renamed-the-q8-e-tron/ PORSCHE SPENDING $113 MILLION TO BUY OUT OF PROJECT ARTEMIS - Audi made big headlines awhile back, with its Project Artemis group of semi-autonomous cars. Part of that Project Artemis were cars like the Sky Sphere, a stunning open-top GT car, and the Grand Sphere, a luxurious four-door with a lounge-like cabin. All Artemis-based models will push autonomy to the forefront of their design objectives. - Porsche — despite being part of the VW Group and a usual partner with Audi in EVs — doesn't want any part of that. In fact, it's so against the idea of making heavily autonomous vehicles that it's actually paying its parent company to not be a part of Project Artemis. - According to this new report from Automotive News, Porsche is going to pay Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles 100 million euros ($113 million) to buy itself out of Project Artemis. - Instead, Porsche is going to build its own new flagship electric performance car, currently internally known as “K1”, which will be built on the PPE (Premium Platform Electric) platform. Original Source : https://www.quattrodaily.com/porsche-buy-out-project-artemis/ RIVIAN FILES TRADEMARK FOR ELECTRIC BIKES - Electric vehicle maker Rivian filed a new trademark for bicycles and electric bikes, as well as their corresponding structural parts. The move might signal that Rivian is considering getting on the e-bike demand train and diversifying its portfolio with a product that is cheaper to produce at scale than electric pickup trucks and in line with its targeted “adventure” seeking demographic. - Last year, Porsche launched two new e-bikes that were designed with the spirit of the Taycan Cross Turismo. BMW has also released plans to produce several e-bikes and other micromobility vehicles lately, as well, like its all-electric CE 04 scooter. Original Source : https://techcrunch.com/2022/01/10/rivian-files-trademark-for-electric-bikes/ HERE IS TESLA'S CCS2 CHARGE PORT ON A MODEL X IN TAIWAN - After seeing Tesla's new Model S with matrix LED headlights and revised taillight, we now have our very first look at the CCS2 charge port on a Model X refresh in Taiwan. We should see the CCS2 port on the Model S refresh, soon. - DDCAR shared some images on Facebook tonight (via @EndlessPlaid) and one of them is the new CCS2 charge port on the Model X. - The new charging door opens up at an angle, looking like one of the Falcon Wing doors on the Model X. As you can see, gone is the LED ring, and instead we have a lit-up Tesla logo as seen on a Model 3 and Model Y. Original Source : https://teslanorth.com/2022/01/10/here-is-teslas-ccs2-charge-port-on-a-model-x-in-taiwan-pic/ TESLA IS GETTING A NEW BATCH OF GIGA PRESS DELIVERIES IN GIGAFACTORY TEXAS - Recent drone flyovers at the Gigafactory Texas site have revealed that Tesla is currently receiving what appears to be a new batch of Giga Press parts. If the new shipments are for the Model Y's 6,000-ton die-casting machines, it would suggest that Giga Texas would soon have four of the house-sized contraptions. - With the arrival of what appears to be the fourth 6,000-ton Model Y Giga Press, all eyes are now on the Giga Texas complex for the first signs of IDRA's 8,000-ton Giga Press. The 8,000 ton Giga Press would be used for the Cybertruck's underbody, and it would truly be one of the largest of its kind in the market.

Show #480   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 23rd May 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.   TESLA BRINGS BACK FREE UNLIMITED SUPERCHARGING "Tesla is now again bringing back free Unlimited Supercharging as a way to sell some inventory cars after the upgraded drivetrain." reports Fred @ Electrek: "For a while, ‘Free Unlimited Supercharging’ was also linked to Tesla’s owner referral program, but the automaker has since ended the program. When relaunching the referral program earlier this year, Tesla again used free Supercharging as an incentive but only with credits for 1,000 miles (5,000 miles until the end of the month). Now, Tesla is bringing back the full Free Unlimited Supercharging as an incentive separate from the referral program. It applies to “new inventory” Model S and Model X vehicles that are not equipped with the recently announced hardware upgrade"   https://electrek.co/2019/05/21/tesla-free-supercharging-sell-inventory-cars/   JEFF BEZOS TELLS EMPLOYEES HE’S ‘VERY EXCITED’ ABOUT THE AUTO INDUSTRY "At an all-hands staff meeting in March, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told employees that he’s fascinated by the recent developments in the auto industry, adding that it was one of the main reasons why Amazon led a $700 million investment in electric vehicle start-up Rivian in February." in this story only coming to light now thanks to CNBC: "Bezos’ comments give a rare glimpse into his interest in the auto industry, which Amazon entered in February through its investments in Rivian and another self-driving tech start-up, Aurora. Investing in autonomous technology could eventually help Amazon offer faster and cheaper delivery, as well as automation in other areas, like its cashier-free grocery stores."   “If you think about the auto industry right now, there’s so many things going on with Uber-ization, electrification, the connected car — so it’s a fascinating industry,” Bezos said according to a recording of the meeting CNBC has heard. “It’s going to be something very interesting to watch and participate in, and I’m very excited about that whole industry.”   https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/21/jeff-bezos-to-employees-very-excited-about-auto-industry.html   APPLE SAID TO HAVE MADE 'SERIOUS BID' TO ACQUIRE TESLA "It has long been rumored that Apple plans to compete in the electric vehicle market in some capacity, ranging from supplying other automakers with underlying technologies to developing its own vehicle entirely, and new information suggests that Apple may have been eyeing a major acquisition to boost its efforts." according to MacRumours.com: "Namely, Apple is said to have made a "serious bid" for Tesla around 2013, offering around $240 per share. That's according to Craig Irwin, a senior analyst at investment firm Roth Capital Partners, who said he has "complete confidence" in this information, but he doesn't know if the bid reached a "formal paperwork stage. Tesla had 114.5 million shares outstanding as of January 31, 2013, and that number increased throughout the year, so Apple's bid would have totaled at least $27.4 billion at the time. Now, the electric vehicle maker's shares are trading around the $203 mark, well below Apple's reported bid years ago. "   https://www.macrumors.com/2019/05/21/apple-tesla-serious-acquisition-bid/   NEXT GEN INNOVATORS INVITED TO DESIGN EV CHARGE POINTS "A new competition for seven to 19 year-olds to design the electric vehicle (EV) charging points of the future has been launched. The ‘Eco Innovators’ competition, which aims to inspire young people to use their creative and engineering skills, is calling on students to submit their creative designs for public EV charge points." reports Energy Live News: "Winners of each of the two age categories will have their designs made into real-life prototypes with support from industry experts. Their charging points will also be displayed at the EV Experience Centre in Milton Keynes. The competition – announced at the launch of the Engineering: Take a Closer Look campaign, continuing the success from the Year of Engineering in 2018 and celebrating the world and wonder of engineering – closes on 18th October 2019."   https://www.energylivenews.com/2019/05/21/next-gen-innovators-invited-to-design-ev-charge-points-of-the-future/   CONTINENTAL’S SMART HEATER CHOOSES BETWEEN BATTERY AND PASSENGERS "Continental has unveiled details of its ‘smart heater’ system that will decide when to heat up an EV’s battery instead of the car’s occupants." according to Paul at TU Auto: "The system is a bid to alleviate the issues with lithium-ion battery performance falling off a cliff every time the temperatures dip below freezing. Continental explained at the 32nd Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS32) in Lyon that the system will monitor when the battery pack needs the heat more than the car’s driver and passengers to maintain a usable working range. The smart heater can help to either heat up the cabin or the battery pack when it is too cold for the battery to accept electric energy from recuperation from regenerative braking. For that purpose the smart heater will turn electricity into heat that is available for appropriate use. "   https://www.tu-auto.com/continentals-smart-heater-chooses-between-battery-and-passengers/   TRUCK DRIVERS DON’T THINK EVS ARE UP TO HEAVY HAULING "Manufacturers are rushing head-long into the production of ZEV (zero-emission vehicle) trucks. Ford has invested US$500-million in startup Rivian, which plans to produce an EV pickup by the end of 2021." according to The Globe And Mail: "Ory Parks has travelled the continent, driving heavy trucks for 47 years. The resident of Odessa, Sask., has put 1.7 million kilometres on his latest truck – a diesel-powered 2006 Kenworth W900 – hauling loads of up to 18,000 kilograms mostly across the Prairie provinces of Canada. And there is one thing he knows for certain. He will never buy an EV truck. Drivers say they don’t believe electric vehicles (EVs) can produce the sustained power needed to haul big loads long distances. And worse, Parks says, when you need to refill the batteries, “It would take you half a day to recharge it.”   https://www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/mobility/article-truck-drivers-dont-think-evs-are-up-to-heavy-hauling/   DRONE VIDEO SHOWS TESLA'S GIGAFACTORY 3 NEARING COMPLETION "Tesla is moving impressively fast with the building of its Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China. The company just announced the deal about seven months ago and only about five months ago did they secure the land." picks up InterestingEngineering.com: "But by the looks of this drone video posted by YouTuber Jason Yang, the factory seems to be nearing completion. Tesla has already unveiled a rendering of what the plant is supposed to look like. The new drone footage shows that it is getting very close to that. The video is proof that Elon Musk may just achieve his super ambitious goals."   https://interestingengineering.com/video/this-drone-video-shows-teslas-gigafactory-3-in-shanghai-china-nearing-completion   ROBERT LLEWELYN CALLS ON INDUSTRY TO TACKLE EV ‘FUD’ "Actor and electric vehicle (EV) advocate Robert Llewellyn has called for more people to speak out against what he calls the “fear, uncertainty and doubt” (fud) surrounding EVs." says Utility Week: "Speaking at Utility Week Live in Birmingham [he] said it was a “total fabrication” to suggest the vehicles are not ready for mass take-up."   “An important point is 60 per cent of UK households have somewhere off the street to park a car, therefore 60 per cent of us could have an electric car today with no trouble. All the reports you hear on the BBC, in the Daily Mail, on the radio about them not being ready yet, they don’t have the range, they are all utter total fabrication. It is incredibly easy to live with and use an electric car, in fact that has become my job now, to try and undermine that constant flow of fud – fear, uncertainty and doubt, the three easiest things to spread about new technology. FUD was used about asbestos, it was used about catalytic converters, about unleaded petrol, about smoking, it delays and delays and delays the change."   https://utilityweek.co.uk/red-dwarf-star-calls-industry-tackle-ev-fud/   LAND ROVER UNVEILS NEW DISCOVERY SPORT "Land Rover has revealed the new Discovery Sport, which is available to order now priced from £31,575." says Fleet NEws: "The new platform allows for the introduction of 48-volt mild hybrid electric vehicle (MHEV) powertrains on Discovery Sport. First launched on the new Range Rover Evoque, the system uses an engine-mounted belt-integrated starter generator to harvest energy normally lost during deceleration and stores it in an under-floor battery. At speeds below 11mph, the engine can shut off when the driver applies the brakes, before redeploying the stored energy to assist the engine under acceleration to reduce fuel consumption. A more efficient plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant will also join the range later in 2019."   https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/manufacturer-news/2019/05/21/land-rover-unveils-new-discovery-sport   2019 AUDI E-TRON FIRST DRIVE "Another hallmark of Teslas that has little to do with their EV nature is their ability to evolve, improve and add features via wireless updates — an advantage that remains broadly underestimated. The e-tron doesn’t have this capability." concludes cars.com: In the real world, the e-tron’s zero-to-60 mph in 5.5 seconds is overkill — yet the Model X is quicker. The e-tron has little in the way of special screens, and none of the surprise-and-delight features and Easter eggs of Teslas that probably shouldn’t matter but to some consumers definitely do. Ditto for styling. The Model X is awkward from some angles, but it’s distinctive and its Falcon Wing doors are known to stop traffic. If anything, the I-Pace is the one that’s dared to challenge the Model X on its own turf with distinctive styling and quicker acceleration."   https://www.cars.com/articles/2019-audi-e-tron-first-drive-electric-suv-is-golden-gloves-to-teslas-mma-402712/   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.
