En un contexto de amenaza generalizada contra 1 millón de especies silvestres, los científicos urgen a los gobiernos a preservar la biodiversidad. En Normandía, se decidió tumbar dos represas para hacer posible el retorno de los peces migratorios como salmones, truchas y lampreas. En medio de las colinas verdes de Normandía en el oeste de Francia se puede observar una inédita obra desmantelamiento. Una grúa demoledora devora poco a poco una pared de concreto de 16 metros de altura y 120 metros de largo de una hidroeléctrica. Propiedad del Estado francés, la presa de La Roche Qui Boit en el río Sélune que desemboca en la bahía del Mont Saint Michel está siendo destruida. “Fue el resultado de una decisión para restablecer la naturaleza en el conjunto del río Sélune”, dice a RFI Stéphane Choley, el ingeniero coordinador de la empresa Electricité de France EDF en la región. Sobre los motivos que llevaron a destruir esta planta hidroeléctrica de 3 gigavatios, que equivalen al consumo de 1250 personas, Choley detalla que “aquí era imposible conciliar la presencia de una hidroeléctrica con el respeto de las especies de peces migratorios. Entonces se decidió retirar las dos presas hidroeléctricas de Vezin y de La Roche Qui Boit”. Las autoridades francesas consideraron que su producción era marginal comparada con el daño ecológico que ocasiona en la cuenca hídrica de la región. “Se realizó el vaciado y ahora estamos en la fase de deconstrucción de la estructura durante 10 meses. El costo global es de 15 millones de euros. Es algo inédito en Francia y en Europa. En este río tenía dos presas. La primera fue retirada en 2019-2020 y la segunda operación es retirar la represa que tenemos aquí”, recuerda el ingeniero. Hace 3 años se llevó a cabo un desmantelamiento similar 8 km río arriba donde se derribó la represa de Vezin para restablecer el curso natural del río Sélune y con ello restaurar el ecosistema natural que reaparece poco a poco. Una iniciativa que la bióloga Laura Soissons, coordinadora del proyecto de observación del ecosistema en la región califica de “muy positivo en un contexto de pérdida de biodiversidad. Con este tipo de acciones podemos reconstituir la biodiversidad y un nuevo equilibrio”. Versión audio del reportaje: Con su equipo de científicos del Instituto de investigación agrónoma y medioambiental (INRAE), Soissons observa cómo la fauna y la flora se recuperan en un territorio que antes estaba inundado por los embalses de las plantas hidroeléctricas. Dentro de algunos meses, los peces migratorios ya tendrán vía libre para remontar el río. “Desde el vaciado del lago artificial, el nivel del agua ha bajado, el caudal retomó su antigua forma y ha vuelto la vegetación en la zona que estaba inundada. A nivel de las especies, han vuelto muchas especies de invertebrados, moluscos, insectos terrestres y acuáticos que están regresando a las riberas y en el agua. La naturaleza recupera su territorio. ¡Es positivo!” A largo plazo, se espera el regreso de las especies de peces migratorios que van a poder remontar el curso del agua. “Tenemos por ejemplo el salmón atlántico, que nace en los ríos, baja hacia el mar para vivir y vuelve a los ríos para reproducirse”, explica Soissons. Y cita también “la anguila europea, una especie protegida, lampreas de mar y de ríos y truchas de mar. Estas especies estaban bloqueadas por las represas. Y sabemos que antes, remontaban hasta donde estamos aquí ahora, entonces esperamos que puedan poblar de nuevo el río Sélune”, detalla la bióloga. El retorno de las especies acuáticas es una buena noticia en un contexto global de amenaza para la biodiversidad. Los científicos estiman que cerca de 1 millón de especies animales están en vía de extinción (de los 8 millones que conocemos en nuestro planeta). Y en 2020, el programa científico europeo de gestión sustentable de las aguas estimó que las represas en Europa perturban cerca del 20% de la superficie acuática. Científicos y defensores de la naturaleza piden entonces que se repliquen proyectos de restauración del medioambiente como el que se desarrolla aquí en el río Sélune. Se evalúa que existen 100.000 barreras obsoletas que obstruyen los ríos europeos. La restauración de los ecosistemas en los ríos europeos es un fenómeno que concierne a varios países europeos. España, que cuenta con numerosas presas para la irrigación, derribó por ejemplo 108 barreras en sus ríos en 2021. Y a finales de junio, la Comisión europea propuso una ley de recuperación de la naturaleza que pide a los Estados miembros restablecer 25.000 kilómetros de caudal libre en los ríos del continente.

The former makes 148bhp and 184lb ft of torque, the latter 113bhp. The other relevant numbers are six (the number of ratios in the dual-clutch transmission), 12.8 (the capacity, in kilowatt hours, of the lithium-ion battery) and 32 (approximate grams per kilometer of CO2, with UK figures yet to be confirmed). Here are two more: 6.7sec to 62mph, and 140mph flat out." writes evo.co.uk: "Cupra quotes 32 miles of all-electric range – a real-world 20-25 miles is more likely. The pseudo five-cylinder growl in Sport and Cupra modes isn’t too bad and ramps up the drama, and outright pace is brisk enough, but the electric and petrol elements always seem to be fighting each other. The electric motor doesn’t quite have the power on its own for that satisfying EV-only thrust of a full-electric car, but rousing the engine takes several beats longer than you’d hope too."   https://www.evo.co.uk/cupra/203183/cupra-leon-ehybrid-2020-review-are-hybrids-and-hot-hatchbacks-still-mutually-exclusive   MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV AVAILABLE IN 2021 "Mitsubishi has announced the redesigned Eclipse Cross, which will be offered in select markets in Asia, Europe and Australia for the first time as a plug-in hybrid with a modified version of the drive system from the Outlander PHEV." according to electrive: "Sales of the new model are scheduled to start in early 2021 in select markets, including Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Germany. At this point, there are no plans to bring the hybrid version of the vehicle to market in the USA. Mitsubishi does not provide any performance data, but since the Eclipse Cross PHEV basically takes over the drive system from the Outlander PHEV – albeit with modifications to match its own chassis – we at least indicate the performance of the new part-time electric motor."   https://www.electrive.com/2020/10/15/mitsubishi-eclipse-cross-phev-available-in-2021/   FIAT CHRYSLER WILL INVEST UP TO $1.5 BILLION TO BUILD EVS IN WINDSOR   "Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will invest between $1.35 billion and $1.5 billion in its Windsor assembly plant in Canada to build electric vehicles as part of a tentative deal with Canadian autoworkers, Unifor National President Jerry Dias said on Thursday." reports Autoblog: "The auto union said FCA would invest in a state-of-the-art vehicle platform that will enable the assembly of plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles, with at least one new model in 2025. The announcement comes less than a month after Unifor said Ford would invest $1.46 billion in its Oakville and Windsor plants."   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/15/fiat-chrysler-canada-electric-vehicle-deal-unifor/   NIO NARROWS GAP WITH TESLA " Nio, viewed as a bellwether of the Chinese electric-vehicle industry, narrowed the gap with US carmaker Tesla, mainland China’s highest selling electric-car marque, over the last three months." according to the South China MOrning Post: "The company, started by William Li Bin in 2014, delivered 3,226 of its ES6 sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) in September, a year-on-year increase of 87 per cent, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). In August, its sales rose 58 per cent, with the company selling 2,840 ES6s. Tesla, on the other hand, led the sector by quite a distance last month, by a margin of 8,103, having delivered 11,329 of the Model 3 cars built at its Shanghai-based Gigafactory 3. In June, however, the gap between Tesla and Nio was wider"   https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3105773/chinese-electric-car-bellwether-marque-nio-narrows-gap-tesla   EVS TO RETURN POWER TO GRID WITH ABB INTELLIGENT CHARGING As part of a contract with France’s DREEV, a joint venture between Électricité de France (EDF) and Nuvve, which specializes in intelligent charging for EVs, ABB will supply its brand-new 11 kW bi-directional charging technology, specially designed for V2G.   ABB’s solution integrated with DREEV software technology will enable EV drivers to export surplus power back to the grid. With potential to generate up to 20€/EV/month, V2G thereby reduces the total cost of ownership and further boosts the adoption of EVs. Bi-directional chargers also help smooth the flow of uneven generation of electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind. Under the partnership, ABB will supply V2G bi-directional kiosks in France, followed by installations in the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium and Germany.   The light and compact 11 kW charger delivers a quick and flexible charge and is fully compatible with current and future EVs. It meets the most stringent grid compliance requirements and is designed to be the global benchmark for V2G charging.   You can listen to all 907 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSYMONS.CO.UK – THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE SPECIALIST (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DARREN FEATCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NICHOLAS MILLER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

Trainiere dein Hörverstehen mit den Nachrichten der Deutschen Welle von Dienstag – als Text und als verständlich gesprochene Audio-Datei.Sicherheitsgesetz für Hongkong erlassen China hat laut Medienberichten ein umstrittenes Sicherheitsgesetz für Hongkong verabschiedet. Der Ständige Ausschuss des Nationalen Volkskongresses habe die Vorlage einstimmig angenommen, heißt es. Das Gesetz richtet sich vor allem gegen Aktivitäten, die die Führung in Peking als subversiv ansieht oder die auf eine Unabhängigkeit Hongkongs abzielen könnten. Die prodemokratische Opposition geht davon aus, dass das Gesetz insbesondere auf sie abzielt. Der prominente Aktivist Joshua Wong erklärte aus diesem Grund seinen Rücktritt von der Spitze der Demokratiegruppe Demosito. Bedauern aus Belgien Der belgische König Philippe hat sich für die Kolonialvergangenheit seines Landes bei der Demokratischen Republik Kongo entschuldigt. Er wolle sein "tiefstes Bedauern über die Wunden der Vergangenheit" zum Ausdruck bringen, schreibt Philippe in einem Brief an den Präsidenten des zentralafrikanischen Landes, Felix Tshisekedi. Unter belgischer Regentschaft sei es im Kongo zu Gewalt und Grausamkeiten gekommen, die auf dem kollektiven Gedächtnis lasten, so der König. Anlass des Schreibens ist der 60. Jahrestag der Unabhängigkeit der Demokratischen Republik Kongo. UN warnen vor Corona-Auswirkungen für Frauen Die Vereinten Nationen rufen zum verstärkten Kampf gegen Frühverheiratung und Genitalverstümmelung auf: Um diese Praktiken bis 2030 zu beenden, seien Investitionen von jährlich 3,4 Milliarden Dollar notwendig, heißt es im neuen Weltbevölkerungsbericht. Durch die aktuelle Corona-Pandemie seien Mädchen besonders gefährdet, da etwa Aufklärungskampagnen erschwert würden, betonte die Exekutivdirektorin des UN-Weltbevölkerungsfonds, Natalia Kanem. Sie plädiert für die Förderung von Programmen, die Mädchen dabei unterstützen, Schulen bis zum Abschluss zu besuchen - anstatt früh verheiratet zu werden. Senatoren wollen Truppenabzug verhindern In den USA wächst der Widerstand gegen Pläne von Präsident Donald Trump, Truppen aus Deutschland abzuziehen. Führende Senatoren beider Parteien wollen den Schritt per Gesetz blockieren. Wie das Büro des republikanischen Senators Mitt Romney mitteilte, brachte die Gruppe eine entsprechende Vorgabe für den Verteidigungshaushalt ein. Für einen Abzug dürften Budgetmittel dann nur genutzt werden, wenn dies im Interesse der nationalen Sicherheit ist und die europäischen NATO-Partner nicht gefährdet werden. Trump will die Zahl der US-Truppen in Deutschland von gut 34.500 auf 25.000 verringern. Venezuela weist EU-Botschafterin aus Als Reaktion auf von der Europäischen Union verhängte Sanktionen hat die venezolanische Regierung die Botschafterin der EU des Landes verwiesen. Isabel Brilhante Pedrosa und ihre Mitarbeiter hätten 72 Stunden Zeit, um Venezuela zu verlassen, erklärte der amtierende Staatschef Nicolás Maduro in Caracas. Die EU hatte zuvor Strafmaßnahmen gegen elf weitere Verbündete Maduros im Machtkampf mit Oppositionsführer Juan Guaidó verhängt. Dieser hatte sich Anfang 2019 selbst zum Übergangspräsidenten des südamerikanischen Krisenstaats erklärt, was auch von der EU anerkannt wird. AKW Fessenheim stillgelegt Das Atomkraftwerk im elsässischen Fessenheim, das seit Jahrzehnten als Sicherheitsrisiko galt, ist nach 43 Jahren endgültig abgeschaltet worden. Der zweite Reaktor des ältesten französischen AKW wurde am Montagabend vom Netz genommen, wie der Betreiber Electricité de France (EDF) mitteilte. Der erste Reaktor hatte bereits im Februar den Betrieb eingestellt. Frankreichs Präsident Emmanuel Macron kam mit dem Aus für das südwestlich von Freiburg gelegene Kraftwerk Forderungen aus Deutschland und der Schweiz nach. "Golden State Killer" gesteht Vier Jahrzehnte nach Beginn einer Mord- und Vergewaltigungsserie im US-Bundesstaat Kalifornien hat ein 74-jähriger Mann seine Schuld eingeräumt. Joseph James DeAngelo, der sogenannte "Golden State Killer", gestand vor Gericht in Sacramento, 13 Morde und etliche andere Gewalttaten begangen zu haben. Er hielt sich damit an eine entsprechende Vereinbarung mit der Staatsanwaltschaft. Diese verzichtet im Gegenzug auf die Forderung nach der Todesstrafe. Sie strebt nun elf Mal lebenslange Haft für den ehemaligen Polizisten an.

Show #771   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 7th May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   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.   SKODA ENYAQ IV TEASED AS THE COMPANY'S MOST POWERFUL CAR EVER “While the pint-sized Citigo iV will go down in history as Skoda’s first EV, the Enyaq iV will actually be the first model to be developed right from the start as an electric vehicle. It will ride on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform and take the shape as Skoda’s variant of the VW ID.4. The Czech automaker is now kicking off the teaser campaign by sharing images of camouflaged prototypes depicting the zero-emissions SUV.” Reports Motor1: “The Enyaq will be available with a choice between three battery sizes, kicking off with the 55-kWh pack offering 340 kilometers (211 miles) of range per the WLTP cycle. This base version is rear-wheel drive and comes with a rear-mounted electric motor developing 146 horsepower (109 kW). Step up to the midrange model and you’ll get a larger 62-kWh battery with enough juice for 390 kilometers (242 miles), feeding a rear electric motor producing 177 hp (132 kW). If you want the longest range possible, the rear-wheel-drive variant with the 82-kWh battery is the one to get as it offers 311 miles (500 kilometers) between charges while producing 201 hp (150 kW) from its rear-mounted electric motor. Skoda has also engineered the Enyaq to accommodate an all-wheel-drive layout with dual electric motors, one in the front and one at the back, with either 261 hp (195 kW) or a punchy 302 hp (225 kW). The latter is effectively the company’s most powerful production car ever and is suitably going to be badged as an “RS” model. It will do the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint in a respectable 6.2 seconds before topping out at 112 mph (180 km/h).”   https://www.motor1.com/news/420380/2021-skoda-enyaq-iv-teaser/   VOLKSWAGEN DESIGN BOSS: 'WRONG' NOT TO DEVELOP DEDICATED EVS Volkswagen design chief Klaus Bischoff believes the freedom offered by electric technology means it would have been “the wrong decision” to develop vehicles with multiple powertrains rather than bespoke EVs such as the firm’s forthcoming ID 3.” According to Autocar: “The Volkswagen Group has developed the MEB platform as a dedicated electric architecture, which will be used for a range of ID-branded electric Volkswagens that will sit alongside its existing combustion-engined models. Sibling firms Audi, Seat and Skoda will also offer dedicated EVs built on the MEB platform.”   Klaus Bischoff : “The new architecture that electric vehicles offer gives designers the chance to come up with an entirely new design approach. We’re aiming for develop something that gives customers big advantages: a small footprint, big interior and fully digital architecture. To keep [an electric car] in the traditional space would have been the wrong decision. There is more freedom [with a bespoke EV] because the car’s architecture volume and proportions are different. With the internal combustion engine out of the game, you can really move the proportions and bodystyles and you have a lot more flexibility, particularly in terms of interior design."   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volkswagen-design-boss-wrong-not-develop-dedicated-evs   FIAT BOSS REVEALS THE THINKING BEHIND THE NEW ELECTRIC FIAT 500 "Olivier François, Fiat’s brand president, is bullish about the new arrival, not least because it has only been possible through significant development. Early on, Fiat realised that just adapting an existing car to be pure-electric wouldn’t work; the 500’s trademark focus on style and usability can accommodate electrification, as in the recently launched Hybrid edition, but not the extra battery capacity needed for an EV. And as a result, the new 500 really is new, from the ground up." writes Auto Express.   Olivier François: "This is not a Plan B. It is not a current platform that we’ve tweaked to accommodate some batteries. It’s all-new. And this little car, once again, is totally relevant. This is our urban Tesla. The thing we know is that we have a successful nameplate, It is a leader in Europe; people love it. What we don’t really know, what we have no visibility on, is future demand for electric vehicles. But we need to be ready. We know that demand for sure will explode, because of the regulations in city centres."   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/fiat/500/352208/boss-reveals-thinking-behind-new-electric-fiat-500   NISSAN EUROPE ADDS VOLTIA ELECTRIC VAN TO ITS RANGE "The Nissan e-NV200 XL Voltia is a conversion from Voltia. The specialists from Slovakia have converted an e-NV200 into a high roof transporter for this purpose. The body and loading area have been lengthened slightly towards the rear, while the roof behind the driver’s cab has been made considerably higher. This means that the XL version of the e-NV200 with eight cubic metres has a loading space twice as large as the basic model." reports electrive: "Voltia had already launched the conversion with the original 24 kWh version of the e-NV200, but the current models have the newer 40 kWh battery. According to Voltia, the vehicle has been optimised primarily for delivery on the last mile. So far the Slovakians have distributed the model on their own and sold it to the French parcel service Chronopost and the British logistics company Gnewt, for example."   https://www.electrive.com/2020/05/07/nissan-adds-voltia-electric-delivery-van-to-its-range/   MUSK SAYS TESLA ROADSTER IS DELAYED UNTIL AFTER CYBERTRUCK "Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said in a podcast interview released on Thursday that the company's planned Roadster sports car would take a backseat to the development of other vehicle models." according to Autoblog: "When Rogan asked when he could buy a Roadster, Musk responded he could not provide a date, but said other initiatives, including a ramp-up in production of sport utility vehicle Model Y and the construction of a vehicle factory in Berlin, were priorities. "Roadster is kind of like dessert," Musk said. "We gotta get the meat and potatoes and greens and stuff." Musk also said Tesla should produce the Cybertruck, a futuristic-looking light commercial vehicle, before working on the Roadster. Tesla announced the Roadster, a battery-powered four-seater, at the end of 2017 and at the time said the car would be faster than any street-legal production car. Musk in the past has said Roadster sales would begin after a revised version of its Model S sedan is released, which was widely expected to be at the end of 2020."   1:51:05 When is the Tesla Roadster and CyberTruck being released, and they talk about the future of Tesla   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/07/tesla-roadster-delayed-elon-musk/#slide-endcap   GENIUS OR INTERNET TROLL? 54% OF TESLA RESPONDENTS BELIEVE MUSK’S TWITTER ACTIVITY IS HARMING THE COMPANY  Blind, the anonymous professional network with over 3.5 million verified users, asked 50 Tesla employees two simple questions: How do you think Elon Musk’s Twitter activity is affecting your company? It is benefiting Tesla It is not affecting Tesla It is harming Tesla In your opinion, Elon Musk is: A genius Misunderstood An Internet troll All of the above None of the above Key Findings: 53.7% of respondents believe Musk’s Twitter activity is harming the company 26.1% of Tesla respondents believe Elon Musk is a genius 10.9% of Tesla respondents believe Elon Musk is misunderstood 10.9% of Tesla respondents believe Elon Musk is an internet troll 43.5% of Tesla respondents believe Elon Musk is a combination of the three   Tech employees are known for having their compensation linked to company value/stock price. So while Elon’s Twitter activity does generate conversation and media coverage, the impact on stock price does raise the question of how those directly work for him and compensated as such think of the situation.   https://medium.com/@teamblind/genius-or-internet-troll-63a9c0a1161c   GERMAN EV MARKET SHARE AT 8.5% IN APRIL "Germany saw the auto market drop 61% in April. While that doesn’t look good for the industry, it was much more resilient than the large neighboring markets of France and the UK. Market share of different powertrains was largely unchanged over recent months, with plug-in electric vehicles at 8.5% of passenger sales. Tesla was the only auto brand with increased sales year on year, up 10.4%." says Dr Max Holland for CleanTechnica. And whilst we don't have April data for models we do now have MArch model data, MOdel 3 way out front with 2034, then e-Golf 1524, ZOE 945 and e-tron 721.   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/05/06/german-ev-market-share-at-8-5-in-april-overall-autos-down-61-yoy/   WORLD’S BIGGEST SOLAR PLANT TO DELIVER POWER AT RECORD-LOW 1.35¢ PER KILOWATT-HOUR "The two-gigawatt Al Dhafra project in Abu Dhabi, the world’s biggest single-site solar installation, is expected to deliver electricity at a record-low US1.35¢ per kilowatt-hour when it goes into service in 2022." reports energycentral.com: "The bid to the Abu Dhabi Power Corporation came from a consortium consisting of Électricité de France (EDF) and the projects division of Chinese manufacturer Jinko Solar, Greentech Media reports. Greentech notes that Gulf states “have had more than their share of record-low solar prices of late,” with a project in Dubai offering power at 1.7¢/kWh last November, then a Qatar project led by French colossal fossil Total and Japanese conglomerate Marubeni coming in at 1.6¢ in January. “Now, three months later, the record looks set to pass back to the United Arab Emirates,” the industry newsletter says."   https://energycentral.com/c/cp/world%E2%80%99s-biggest-solar-plant-deliver-power-record-low-135%C2%A2-kilowatt-hour       QUESTION OF THE WEEK   …we take a break for a week and QotW is back on Sunday 10th May   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 233 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

It's fitting that in Paris, the home of the landmark 2015 Climate Agreement, sports contribution to addressing the evolving climate crisis was one of the standout discussions during the inaugural Global Sports Week.More than that, it was a chance to discover how major sporting institutions like the International Olympic Committee and a major events like the Paris 2024 Olympic Games could work with commercial or strategic partners to find solutions to the environmental challenges we are all facing.As the senior sustainability manager for the IOC, Julie Duffus is seeing first hand how climate change is severely impacting the sports associated with the Games, and how international sports federations and National Olympic Committees are adapting to meet the challenges.Nicoletta Piccolrovazzi, the global technology and sustainability director for Dow Olympic & Sport Solutions, has been working with the IOC on its carbon mitigation programme and on the implementation of sustainable technologies at the Games.During this podcast, Duffus and Piccolrovazzi discuss the growing partnership between the IOC and Dow, what they have achieved together thus far, and how they plan to face future challenges. As a Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympics – and the largest energy company in France – EDF will have a big part to play if the Games is to fulfill its ambitious aim of halving the carbon emissions generated by previous modern Summer Olympics, and achieve climate neutrality.The company's chief sustainability officer, Carine de Boissezon, explains EDF's acceleration towards renewable energy, and demonstrates an extensive sports partnership portfolio, in which it is helping sports like kayaking, swimming and football transition away from fossil fuels.

Is the EU executing the decisive gear-shift that is needed to not only meet its own ambitious climate targets and agree on its vision for climate neutrality by 2050, but to successfully lead the way globally? Experts gathered at the Friends of Europe debate ‘Shifting gears: achieving climate neutrality by 2050’ – held in Brussels on 19 February – to assess where Europe is at, what it needs to do, where it’s going and whether it will arrive on time. Moderator and Director of Insights at Friends of Europe, Dharmendra Kanani said that with a new Commission in place and its ambitions stated via the European Green Deal, the imminent unveiling of the new European Climate Law, the assessment of member states’ National Energy and Climate Plans, and the COP26 coming up in Glasgow in November, it’s an interesting time for the climate agenda that has a “last chance saloon” feeling about it. “Everyone is really thinking of Glasgow as the tipping point that we should look forward to – but should it be, can it be, given all the different drivers that are at play, not least politics?” he said, adding that the constant re-negotiation of targets was delaying action. Participants heard perspectives from the International Energy Agency, the private sector’s Electricité de France (EDF), the European Commission Directorate-General for Energy, and Climate Action Network Europe. There was agreement that more needed to be done to create the conditions for consumers to more easily transition to renewable energy sources, and that Europe – which accounts for 9% of global CO2 emissions – must use its ambition to take an assertive leading role in getting other countries on board with tackling the climate emergency.

That shouldn't come as a surprise these days after the success and warm reception of the LaFerrari, the brand’s first-ever electrified production vehicle. The new SF90 Stradale is now effectively the most-powerful road-going Ferrari in history with its 986 horsepower (735 kilowatts) coming from a plug-in hybrid powertrain. This mill will be adapted for use in more future models of Ferrari as the brand is exploring new possibilities on the market." according to Anthony Karr for Motor1.com: "The SF90 Stradale’s propulsion system consists of a 4.0-liter V8 producing 769 hp (573 kW) and 590 pound-feet (800 Newton-meters) of torque, which is supported by three lithium-ion powered electric motors. There’s one located on the rear axle, and two more up front for an additional 217 hp (162 kW). Power reaches all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission."   https://www.motor1.com/news/352217/ferrari-adopt-hybrid-powertrain-models/   And Jeff Perez who also writes for Motor1 said: "But for drivers feeling especially efficient off the track, the SF90 offers a pure electric driving mode. With a range of 16 miles (25 kilometers), a maximum electric speed of 84 mph (135 kmh), and plug-in charging capability, the SF90 is perfectly content puttering around Maranello in complete silence as it is tearing up the circuit with its engine screeching toward redline."   https://www.motor1.com/news/352073/ferrari-sf90-stradale-details-unveiled/   HYUNDAI INTRODUCES ELECTRIC DOUBLE-DECKER BUS Hyundai Motor unveiled an electric double-decker bus which is a first of its kind for Hyundai, and is part of the company’s effort to help reduce traffic congestion and air pollution. The all-new electric double-decker bus is shown at the ‘Land, Infrastructure and Transport To develop the company’s first electric double-decker bus, Hyundai worked for 18 months on a project supported by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, which began in 2017. As part of the company’s effort to increase efficiency and to reduce vehicle emissions, Hyundai equipped the all-new electric bus with a 384 kWh water-cooled high-efficiency polymer battery, with a maximum 300 km driving range on a single charge. A full charge can be completed in 72 minutes.   TESLA TO ACCEPT ORDERS OF CHINA-BUILT MODEL 3 FROM MAY 31 "Tesla is about to receive orders of the China-built Model 3 cars from May 31, the U.S.-based EV maker said via its Chinese WeChat official account. The price available for presale is expected to be unveiled at the same time." according to Gasgoo: "Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai is planned to complete the construction of stamping, bodywork, painting and assembly workshops in September 2019, according to an official document released by local ecology and environment authority. Besides, the seat production area, the powertrain workshop and the electric motor workshop are likely to be finished in March next year."   http://autonews.gasgoo.com/m/Detail/70016003.html   CONSUMERS ENERGY LAUNCHES PROGRAM TO HELP ELECTRIC VEHICLE OWNERS "Consumers Energy has launched a program that will make it easier for owners of electric vehicles to charge their vehicles." says UpNorthLive: "Consumers Energy’s PowerMIDrive Rebate Program, available beginning June 5, includes the following: RESIDENTIAL – Rebates for residential electric vehicle owners of between $400 to $500 for installing eligible 240-volt chargers at homes across the state.
