WHY DO CUTTING EDGE EVS STILL HAVE A 12 VOLT BATTERY? Welcome back to EV News Daily, welcome The Tech Sheet, the name we give to special bonus episodes which explain the tech behind EVs. Despite the advances in electric vehicle technology, from massive lithium-ion battery packs to sophisticated power management systems, virtually every modern electric vehicle still carries what appears to be an automotive relic: the humble 12-volt lead-acid battery. This seemingly anachronistic component, dating back to automotive conventions established in the 1950s, continues to play a critical role in even the most advanced electric vehicles. The persistence of 12V systems in cutting-edge EVs represents a fascinating intersection of legacy engineering, practical necessity, safety requirements, and economic considerations that have proven remarkably resistant to disruption. The recent introduction of Tesla's Cybertruck with its groundbreaking 48-volt electrical architecture has reignited industry discussions about whether the time has finally come to abandon the decades-old 12V standard. Tesla's decision to share its 48V implementation documentation with other automakers has created both opportunity and controversy, raising fundamental questions about the future of automotive electrical systems. Yet two years after the Cybertruck's launch, the industry has largely remained committed to traditional 12V architectures, revealing deep-seated challenges that extend far beyond simple technical preferences. A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters. For the first 7 days, only Patreon insiders get early access, their name on the list of legends for Executive Producers and above, and the power to shape future shows. If being in the know and recognised as a supporter sounds like you, join us now at patreon.com/evnewsdaily and become part of something special. 6-Volt Era (1920s–1950s): Early cars used simple 6-volt systems for lighting, ignition, and basic accessories. Electric Starter Innovation (1912): Cadillac's electric starter replaced hazardous hand cranking, creating the first real demand for onboard batteries. Primitive Battery Tech: Early lead-acid batteries were heavy, maintenance-intensive, but crucially rechargeable, forming the backbone of automotive electrification. Transition to 12 Volts (1953–1956): GM pioneered the switch to 12 volts to handle more powerful engines, advanced lighting, and growing accessory loads. Efficiency of Higher Voltage: Doubling voltage reduced current needs, allowing thinner wiring, cost savings in copper, and improved reliability. Industry Standardization: By 1956, nearly all US automakers adopted 12 volts, though some European brands (e.g., VW) stuck with 6 volts into the 1960s. Failed 42-Volt Push (1990s–2000s): Attempts to move to 42 volts collapsed due to entrenched 12-volt supply chains, high transition costs, and improvements in electronics that stretched 12-volt capacity. Dual Systems in EVs: Modern EVs use high-voltage packs (400–800V) for propulsion plus a separate 12-volt system for safe, standardized accessory power. Critical Role of 12 Volts in EVs: Powers ECUs, startup systems, safety features, and even contactors that enable the high-voltage battery—failure immobilizes the car. Manufacturing & Service Dependence: Wiring harness complexity, global supply chains, technician training, and standardized safety/service procedures all lock in 12-volt dominance. Economic & Regulatory Inertia: Supplier ecosystems, cost-benefit barriers, and established safety frameworks have long prevented alternative low-voltage standards from taking over. Tesla's 48-Volt Revolution (2023, Cybertruck): First production vehicle to adopt full 48-volt architecture; reduces current loads, wiring weight, and improves efficiency but required custom components outside traditional supplier chains.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1152: Today we're talking Hyundai and GM's detailed game plan for their collab, Stellantis' new EV tech that sheds weight and adds power,, and why Americans are going bigger than ever on Halloween—even with higher prices haunting their budgets.Show Notes with links:Hyundai and GM's strategic collaboration will co-develop five vehicles aimed at growing their presence in the Americas while containing costs in a tightening market.The partnership kicks off in 2028 with an electric commercial van for North America and expands to include a compact crossover, sedan, and two pickups for Central and South America.Initial volumes are expected to hit 100,000 units, with a long-term goal of reaching 800,000 annual sales.Each company will “donate” specific models: Hyundai leads the electric van and compact vehicles, while GM heads development of midsize pickups.The duo will lean into shared logistics, propulsion systems, and battery supply chains to drive efficiency.“We are not going to mix everything to try to do a hybrid — that is not going to work. There is a donor and a receiver of a particular product.” said Hyundai CEO Jose Muñoz.Stellantis is rolling out its new Intelligent Battery Integrated System (IBIS)—a breakthrough powertrain innovation that could redefine EV architecture by baking the charger and inverter directly into the battery pack.IBIS cuts vehicle weight by about 40 kg and frees 17 liters of space, boosting aerodynamics and interior design options.The system improves energy efficiency by up to 10%, slashes charging times by 15%, and delivers 15% more power with no added battery size.Developed in partnership with Saft, Sherpa Engineering, and others, IBIS simplifies servicing and enhances battery reuse for second-life applications.A fully functional prototype is now on the road in a Peugeot E-3008 riding on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform.Consumers may be bracing for price hikes, but that's not stopping them from going big on Halloween this year—with spending expected to hit a record $13.1 billion.Top categories: $4.3B on costumes, $4.2B on decorations, and $3.9B on candy.Per-person spend is also at an all-time high: $114.45, up nearly $11 from last year.79% of shoppers expect higher prices due to tariffs, yet 73% still plan to celebrate.Pets aren't left out—$860M will be spent dressing them up as pumpkins, hot dogs, and bumblebees.Top costumes? Kids are going with Spider-Man, princesses, and witches; adults favor witches, vampires, and pirates.0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:00 Big Announcement on 10.011:25 Announcements2:02 Hyundai and GM To Launch 5 Co-Developed Vehicles5:25 Stellantis' New EV Tech Means Lighter Batteries and Faster Charging10:20 Halloween Spending To Hit $4Join 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/

Once upon a gaming table dreary, while we plotted, weak and weary, Came a whisper from the shadows: “What if your dice betray you with fear?” Not the fear of a natural one, nor the dread of forgetting your spell slots, But a terror woven deep into the very fabric of the game— A mechanic that chills the marrow, bends the will, And makes the bravest paladin cry out like a startled kobold. In this remastered episode, the hosts of RPGBOT dare to unearth the fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs, revealing how Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, and horror RPGs turn trembling hands and quivering voices into unforgettable stories. Laughter, like a ghast's grin, stalks alongside the horror, for even in terror, there is comedy— and nothing delights the Raven more than watching adventurers quail at shadows. Spooktober 2025 Darkness creeps, dice rattle, and somewhere in the night a gelatinous cube slurps ominously. That can only mean one thing: Spooktober has returned to the RPGBOT.Podcast! All month long, Tyler, Randall, and Ash will drag monsters out of the shadows, crack open cursed tomes of rules, and laugh nervously in the face of fear mechanics, horror RPGs, and terrifying tabletop tales. Expect scares, expect strategy, and—because it's us—expect plenty of bad jokes that would make even Vecna groan. So light a candle, gather your party, and prepare for Spooktober 2025, where the only thing scarier than a natural one… is realizing the bard is the party's front line. Show Notes Fear is the mind-killer… but it's also the story-spicer, the dice-breaker, and the thing that makes your bard suddenly remember they left the oven on back in Waterdeep. In this remastered episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, Tyler, Randall, and Ash pull apart the fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs and show how terror—whether in Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder 2e, or your favorite horror RPGs—can be hilarious, horrifying, and occasionally pants-wetting. We explore how game masters use fear to enhance storytelling, why fear mechanics in TTRPG combat hit different than a fireball to the face, and how player immersion through fear turns even seasoned adventurers into nervous wrecks. Along the way, we'll laugh about sanity systems, cry about saving throws, and prove that nothing bonds a party like collectively screaming at shadows. So sharpen your pencils, stock up on torches, and maybe bring a spare set of trousers—this is Fear Mechanics at its funniest and most frightening. Key Takeaways Fear isn't just for horror RPGs—it's a versatile mechanic that spices up any campaign, from Pathfinder 2e fear rules to homebrew sanity systems. Game masters can use fear to enhance storytelling, creating tension that makes victories sweeter (and failures funnier). Fear effects in TTRPG combat and roleplay can shift strategies, forcing players to think beyond hit points and damage dice. Player immersion through fear mechanics keeps everyone invested, even when nothing is actively trying to eat them… yet. Horror at the table works best when balanced: scary enough to thrill, funny enough to keep people coming back for more. If you enjoyed this remastered dive into fear mechanics in tabletop RPGs, spread the fright—share this episode with your party, whisper it to your GM in the dead of night, and make sure you're subscribed to the RPGBOT.Podcast so you don't miss the rest of Spooktober 2025. The monsters are waiting, and trust us… they're funnier than you think. Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast. If you love Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, and tabletop RPGs, this is the podcast for you.

Proponents of the bill argue that it will incentivize large corporations to narrow their internal pay disparities by either increasing wages for their lowest-paid employees or reducing executive compensation packages Key Provisions of the Act:Tax Trigger: The new tax would apply to companies with a CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio of 50-to-1 or greater.Graduated Tax Rates: The penalty begins with a 0.5 percentage point tax increase for companies with a pay ratio between 50 and 100-to-1.Progressive Structure: The tax rate increase climbs with the pay ratio:1.0 percentage point for ratios between 100 and 200-to-1.2.0 percentage points for ratios between 200 and 300-to-1.3.0 percentage points for ratios between 300 and 400-to-1.4.0 percentage points for ratios between 400 and 500-to-1.5.0 percentage points for ratios exceeding 500-to-1.Broad Application: The act is intended to apply to both publicly and privately held companies with annual revenues of $100 million or more.Exxon to offer auto-voting to counter shareholder activism. Here's how it works:Opt-In Program: The auto-voting feature is a voluntary, opt-in program for retail investors.Automatic Voting: Once enrolled, an investor's shares will be automatically voted in accordance with the board's recommendations on all proposals at shareholder meetings.Flexibility for Investors: Despite the automated nature, investors will still receive all proxy materials and retain the right to manually override the automatic vote on any specific proposal. They can also opt out of the program at any time, free of charge.Exxon's Stated Rationale:Leveling the Playing Field: Exxon argues that this program is a matter of fairness, designed to give retail investors the same ease of voting that institutional investors have. They contend that individual investors often lack the time and resources to research and vote on complex proxy proposals.Addressing Low Turnout: The company has highlighted that while retail investors hold a significant portion of its shares (nearly 40%), their voting turnout is low (only about a quarter of them vote).Countering Activist Agendas: Exxon has explicitly stated that activist groups have exploited this low retail voter participation to advance their own agendas, which the company claims are often political and detrimental to long-term shareholder value.Texas AG probes proxy advisers Glass Lewis, ISS amid ESG backlash By ReutersExxon Urges Europe to Repeal Rules to Make Companies Track Climate PollutionGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Tyson is ditching corn syrupIt also plans to axe sucralose, BHA/BHT, and titanium dioxide from its food by the end of 2025MM: New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people's ability to think creatively."

He was criticized harshly from many on the political right when in 2018, he cancelled Rosanne, then ABC's #1 show, when its star imploded with a cruel racial tirade about President Obama's former top advisor, Valerie Jarrett.”Sonnenfeld ignores the content of what was said obviously, since he has to make a point to kiss Iger's ass - Kimmel said MAGA didn't want the shooter to be MAGA, Barr said a black woman was from Planet of the Apes… so, very the same?This isn't about brand protection, this is about economics - and Iger the dealmaker just made a trade: short-term political expediency for cash as he tries to unload ABCIn 2023, Iger was in talks with Nexstar to buy ABC outrightAlso 2023, massive deals between Disney and NexstarNexstar's ABC agreements expire December 202614% of Nexstar stations are ABC affiliates - Tegna would add 7%Disney already was cancelled by the right for having movies that were too woke, now they just Target-ed themselves right in the groinASSHOLE ACTION ITEM:Disney's next AGM is likely March 2026 - buy Disney stock with the intention of voting out every starfucky directorBonus option: buy shares of Coca-Cola, GM, Under Armour, P&G, Reckitt Benckiser, Bristol Myers, Target, Carlyle, and Lululemon to vote the same directors out of ALL their board positions - make shit decisions in one place, you'll make them everywhereDisney's Mel Lagomasino on Coca-Cola with Carolyn Everson (twofer!), Mary Barra at GM, Everson also at Under Armour, Amy Chang at P&G, Jeremy Darroch at Reckitt Benckiser, Derica Rice at Bristol Myers, Target (anti DEI AND anti free speech!), Carlyle, Cal McDonald at LululemonVote out Sonnenfeld - on the board of Lennar Corporation - vote him out for kicks since he's so deferential to CEOs, how on earth can he hold one accountable? Is he the voice of shareholders or CEOs?Perry SookThe buyer! Nexstar looking to acquire Tegna for $6bn, which would consolidate 80% of US households local news stationsNexstar has to make nice with Brendan Carr, chair of the FCC (I miss Lina Kahn… sigh) - and Carr is purely political, so here was how they bent the knee:“Nexstar's owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight's show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.”Again, if you read Kimmel's actual comment, he's saying that MAGA doesn't want the shooter to be MAGA… he actually didn't say ANYTHING ELSE about the shooting itselfSonnenfeld: “Kimmel's suggestion that “the MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them” doesn't square with the facts which are known at this point. Regardless, these comments are blatantly insensitive as political violence should never be tolerated or exploited as comedic entertainment, no matter who perpetrated it.”Except Kimmel didn't joke about political violence, he joked about the fact that MAGA is super hoping it wasn't their political violence.Perry Sook's political donations have been almost entirely to Republican candidates over the last decade (except for National Association of Broadcasters) - and it's paid offBrendan Carr, Soon To Be FCC Chair, Says Commission Will Back Local TV Stations “Even If That's In Conflict” With Broadcast NetworksNew FCC boss could unleash biggest local TV shakeup in decadesSook owns just under 6% of Nexstar stock, with Vanguard and Blackrock clocking in at a combined 21.8% - meaning about 28% of votes are guaranteed to go with managementMeaning this was all a pretense to consolidate broadcaster ownership - and Sook is one of the winners of the consolidationNow Carr has a reason he can vote for Nexstar purchase, Iger gets out of more ABCASSHOLE ACTION ITEMIt's basically too late to vote against Nexstar's board - their meeting was in June 2025, the merger will be approved by thenYou could maybe buy shares and vote against the mergerAlternatively, buy Yelp (Tony Wells), Denny's (Bernadette Aulestia), and Urban One (Geoffrey Armstrong) to vote out board elsewhereDavid Deniston SmithCEO of Sinclair, owner of 20% of ABC affiliates - the most currently, but post merger would be secondNepo baby Smith, who, with the rest of his brothers and family, own 82% of voting power, are Trump and GOP toadiesAnother mediocre conservative blowhard CEO who spent the last two decades kissing the ass of every republican he can findHe was one of Turning Point USAs biggest donors through his foundation, and issued the following statement: they would “not lift the suspension of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability,” calling on Kimmel to make a direct apology to the Kirk family, and for the network to make a “meaningful donation” to them and Turning Point USA.In the 00s, Sinclair let a paid Bush administration propagandist deliver reporting on their local news stationsIn Trump 1.0, Sinclair forced local news broadcasters to read off a script about how mainstream media was fake newsIn the 90s, Smith was caught getting a blowjob from a prostituteASSHOLE ACTION ITEMSinclair's board is dual class dictatorship, but you CAN vote out Ben Carson on the DR Horton and Covenant Logistics boards - yes, that Ben CarsonHeadliniest of the WeekDR: Elon Musk Fires 500 Staff at xAI, Puts College Kid in Charge of Training GrokMM: If You Don't Know Who the Underperforming Director Is, It Might Be You!Are the CEO, chair or committee leads soliciting my input off-cycle?Does the CEO and select members of the executive team think of me as a trusted advisor and am I able to constructively coach behind the scenes?If the answers to all of these questions are “No,” it could be a sign that you are not performing to the level expected by your company's management.YOU DON'T REPORT TO MANAGEMENTWho Won the Week?DR: I guess they just win every week: Trumpy and creepy billionaires profiting over an app used primarily by 18-34 year olds (70%): Oracle's Larry Elison, Andreessen Horowitz's Marc Andreessen.MM: Gillette, the razor company: Pete Hegseth goes to war against military beards, stresses ‘grooming standards which underpin the warrior ethos'PredictionsDR: FCC Chair Brendan Carr cancels himself when he digs up reports when he cast himself as a First Amendment purist, denouncing efforts by Democrats and Republicans to lean on TV providers and social media platforms as “censorship” and a “chilling transgression of free speech.”ure on media a ‘chilling transgression of free speech.'”MM: I wrote this on Bluesky two days ago: “The next step for Brendan Carr and the FCC is to repeal Section 230 - after which they can sue social media companies for any anti-conservative posts. Then the silencing is complete until dissent is done via snail mail.” Today, I was right: Charlie Kirk assassination reignites debate over Section 230 protections for social media companies.

Tyler Crowe, Matt Frankel, and Jon Quast discuss: - Nvidia takes a $5 billion stake in Intel as the pair begins co-developing products - Would it be a good thing if companies were no longer required to report quarterly financial results? - Stocks on our radar.

Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman reprise their season-long RSP Film & Theory podcast with a discussion about redraft and dynasty concepts.  There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam (and not surprising he earned the FSWA's Fantasy Writer of the Year). He's a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He's also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats.  Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. https://youtu.be/N47VJ7Cqy8I Topics Fantasy football is weird Fantasy football is random?

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1149: We're live outside of EV Auto in Brentwood. Today, we look at how automakers have relatively kept car prices normal despite rising tariffs. Plus, Waymo and Lyft are teaming up to bring autonomous rides to the streets of Music City.Automakers have kept price hikes at bay despite billions in tariff-related costs from the Trump-era trade war. But the pressure is building—and price increases may be just around the corner.Automakers like GM and Ford are absorbing up to $5 billion and $3 billion respectively in tariff-related costs.Despite this, MSRPs have remained relatively flat—up less than 1% between March and August, per Edmunds.Some costs are being quietly passed along via fees like delivery, which jumped 8.5% to $1,507.Analysts expect prices to gradually increase as tariffs stick, with focus shifting to more profitable models.Hyundai's Randy Parker: “Our priority remains ensuring that we're competitive through affordability.”Waymo has announced a new partnership with Lyft to launch a robotaxi service in Nashville, with public access planned for 2026. The collaboration reflects a growing trend in autonomous mobility partnerships.Testing of Waymo's all-electric, self-driving Jaguar I-Pace vehicles begins in the coming months.Lyft will manage fleet services via its Flexdrive subsidiary, including maintenance and depot operations.Riders will first access vehicles through the Waymo app, with Lyft integration to follow.The deal mirrors Waymo's arrangement with Uber but gives users more choice in how to hail rides.“We're excited to partner with Lyft again to bring our Waymo Driver to more people,” said Tekedra Mawakana, co-CEO of Waymo.Mental health is quickly becoming Gen Z's top priority, outpacing physical health and academics. Retailers are responding by centering campaigns around well-being, using purpose-driven strategies to build trust and authentically engage young consumers.PacSun's “Youth Report” found 42% of Gen Z consumers rank mental health as their top life priority.Lululemon's research showed 89% of those with “wellbeing burnout” cite loneliness, and many feel overwhelmed by mixed wellness advice.L.L.Bean and Mental Health America found 79% of respondents say outdoor time improves mental health.Dunnhumby data showed Gen Z prioritizes mental health more than any other generation.“We have a unique opportunity to engage...to help them prioritize mental health,” said American Eagle's Jennifer Foyle.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/

The Stormlight Archive RPG is not a game one simply plays—it is a crucible where story and steel collide. In its halls, Shardblades and Shardplate redefine combat, while talent trees, sprens, and player choices shape destinies with every decision. Today, we step back from the battlefield to reflect on the system's triumphs, its perils, and the stories it carves into those who dare to wield it. In every world, heroes rise not by chance, but by choice—and by the wisdom that guides those choices. At RPGBOT.net, you'll find tomes of knowledge crafted by real adventurers, not faceless scribes, to help you hone your characters, balance their strengths, and master the rhythm of the dice. If you would walk into battle prepared—whether wielding a Shardblade or a humble dagger—step into the archives of RPGBOT.net, where the path to optimization is written for those bold enough to seek it. Show Notes In this final chapter of our Stormlight Archive tabletop RPG deep dive, Tyler, Randall, and Ash gather to reflect on their experiences with the Cosmere RPG. The group examines the lethal combat mechanics, the distinctive role of Shardblades and Shardplate, and the balance between combat dynamics and narrative storytelling. The hosts discuss the joys and pitfalls of character creation within this new RPG system, exploring how talent trees shape character development and player choices, while also challenging players who take on support roles. From the punishing nature of combat to the complexities of adapting Stormlight Archive narrative into RPG gameplay, the episode explores what makes the system engaging, unique, and occasionally brutal. Expect insights on world-building in the Cosmere, the role of sprens in character growth, and how the system stacks up against others, including a comparison of Cosmere RPG vs. Daggerheart. Whether you're curious about balancing party roles, future session design, or simply want to hear the hosts' session impressions, this wrap-up delivers a thoughtful and entertaining sendoff to the series. Key Takeaways The Cosmere RPG feels highly lethal, with combat punishing poor builds and careless play. Combat mechanics can overshadow narrative if not carefully balanced by the GM. Character creation and talent trees allow diverse playstyles but risk unbalanced parties. Shardblades and Shardplate mechanics add unique tactical depth. Support classes present distinct challenges in Stormlight RPG play. Sprens play a vital role in character growth and development. Player choices within talent trees impact both narrative and gameplay satisfaction. Balancing party roles and party size is essential for enjoyable encounters. Adapting Stormlight Archive's narrative into tabletop RPGs requires thoughtful design. Compared to other RPG systems like Daggerheart, the Cosmere RPG offers a unique, immersive blend of lore, combat, and character-driven storytelling. Stories are meant to be shared, and adventures grow brighter when told among friends.

Tonight's story - Near Miss on Nar Shadaa Following a meeting with the villainous Perla The Hutt, our adventurers attempt to flee the dastardly planet of Nar Shadaa. Being hunted by Imperial troops and Bounty Hunters galore, the team found themselves separated while en route to their ship. After a harrowing speeder run back to the ship, Bokane and Yudex are met face to face with the Benedict Arnold of the Galaxy as No No Notchu attempts to turn in his one-time companions. With Kyle's life in the balance, which wasn't that great of a concern, Bokane was able to flex his Jedi powers and avert disaster. With the remaining crew of Edna, SCR-V and Zapp flying and sneaking through the populous streets of Nar Shadaa, they too managed to return to the ship unscathed. Once loaded with their gear, our brawny and beautiful heroes managed a smooth exit and return to Pivot, with a fresh shipment of supplies for the scattered cells of the growing rebellion. Pivot has given our adventurer their next task and with it, the means to send a mighty blow to the Empire with their journey leading them into the next foray on Correlia.

What if true success isn't about climbing higher—but about letting go? In this episode, Ariege Misherghi, SVP and GM of the AR, AP, and Account Channel at BILL, reflects on how humility, curiosity, and a willingness to quiet the ego have shaped her leadership journey. Raised by immigrant parents who instilled deep values around education and gratitude, Ariege shares how those early lessons continue to guide her today. We explore her career path through product management roles at PayCycle and Intuit, her leadership principles, her passion for gaming and technology, and her bold vision for transforming financial operations through agentic experiences. This conversation is a compelling reminder that success is as much about mindset as it is about metrics.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! http://amyvetter.com/breakingbeliefspodcast

Europe led growth, North America hit a record as buyers rushed to secure tax credits, and China saw robust, if moderating, expansion, while BYD cut its sales target but expects significant overseas volume. FORD'S FOCUS-SIZED RECOVERY PLAN Ford will launch a new mid-sized crossover in 2027, built in Valencia, Spain, reflecting a shift toward affordable EVs following Fiesta and Focus factory closures. The model will compete directly with the likes of Tiguan and Sportage at a mid-£30,000 price point—aiming to recover relevance with lower emissions and competitive pricing without expecting past market share highs. EUROPEAN AUTOMAKERS SEEK 2035 FLEXIBILITY European automotive leaders are calling for flexibility in the EU's 2035 ban on petrol and diesel cars, citing tougher global supply chains and increased reliance on Chinese battery suppliers. Automakers advocate for hybrids and transitional support beyond 2035, while member states like Italy and France push for exceptions, highlighting the division over the full fossil fuel phase-out deadline. TOYOTA BUILDS EV SUVS IN KENTUCKY Toyota will begin producing its first electric vehicles in the U.S. next year, including two three-row SUVs at its Georgetown, Kentucky site, part of a $1.3 billion investment focused on domestic EV growth. The move aims to serve rising American demand, add jobs, and advance Toyota toward carbon neutrality by 2050, while balancing hybrids, plug-ins, and full EVs. STELLANTIS CANCELS ELECTRIC RAM 1500 REV Ram has scrapped its planned all-electric 1500 REV pickup in favor of a plug-in hybrid model, citing weak demand for battery-only trucks and financial constraints at Stellantis. The new Ram REV, featuring a gasoline generator with over 690 miles of range, appeals to users needing greater towing and long-distance capability, while Stellantis refocuses on hybrids and profitable platforms. NISSAN MICRA LIVE EVENT SHOWCASES NEW SUPERMINI EV Nissan unveiled its fully electric sixth-generation MICRA in Rotterdam, built on the dedicated AmpR platform, offering two battery sizes, 198–260 miles WLTP range, and advanced handling and tech features. Starting at £21,495 in the UK with government support, deliveries begin January 2026 as MICRA leads Nissan's European EV lineup expansion. GM REAFFIRMS EV-ONLY FUTURE, SLOWS TRANSITION GM CEO Mary Barra reaffirmed the company's long-term goal of going all-electric by 2035, positioning it as a strategic "North Star". However, she acknowledged that the full transition may take decades due to industry complexity and evolving market and regulatory challenges. AMAZON TESTS GM BRIGHTDROP DELIVERY VANS Amazon has started testing GM's BrightDrop electric vans alongside its existing Rivian fleet, part of its strategy to deploy 100,000 electric delivery vehicles by 2030. The pilot comes as GM faces production slowdowns, offering a chance to boost BrightDrop's visibility and demand while Amazon diversifies its supplier base. VOLVO CEO EXPECTS OTHER BRANDS TO FAIL Volvo recently rehired former CEO Håkan Samuelsson, who affirmed the inevitability of electrification and predicted only a few Chinese brands will dominate globally in the next decade. He expects legacy automakers will struggle, with survival dependent on agility and partnership with advanced firms like Geely, as newcomers like Tesla and BYD reshape the market. CHINA AUTO INDUSTRY THREAT TO GLOBAL MARKET Industry experts at the Detroit Automotive News Congress warned that U.S. automakers are underestimating the competitive threat posed by Chinese brands, whose EV market share in China surged to 50%. Fierce home competition is fueling aggressive export plans, targeting Europe, Mexico, and North America, with cost and technology advantages challenging established automakers. HYUNDAI-LG GEORGIA BATTERY PLANT STARTUP DELAY Hyundai and LG's Georgia battery plant faces a two- to three-month startup delay after a major U.S. immigration raid detained hundreds of workers, most employed by LG suppliers. Hyundai will offset production impact by sourcing batteries from other facilities while both governments negotiate skilled labor solutions for future projects. SCOUT CEO ARGUES FOR DIRECT SALES STRATEGY Scout Motors CEO Scott Keogh stated the company will pursue direct sales, comparing traditional dealer model unfavorably to buying directly from Apple and advocating for a seamless brand experience. He dismissed dealers as a distraction, reinforcing direct-to-consumer as the company's strategic retail approach. MAINE DISTRICTS FACE ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUS SERVICE ISSUES Maine school districts have seen electric buses sidelined due to unresolved service issues, with manufacturer Lion Electric's bankruptcy halting repairs and parts, leaving districts stuck with non-functional vehicles under federal grant terms. The state faces mounting frustration, a federal lawsuit against Lion, and reliance on emergency replacement options while the EPA oversees the troubled program.

 Fresh off the news that Canada is winding back its zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) ambitions, Imogen caught up with Kristian Aquilina, President and Managing Director of General Motors Canada, to get his perspective on the future of the automotive industry in Canada. The conversation covers how GM's EV lineup is performing in Canada, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and how the company is adapting to a rapidly changing automotive landscape. They also address common EV concerns, including range anxiety and charging infrastructure, and how these issues are being tackled. They discuss the role of public policy, including federal and provincial EV incentives, infrastructure investment, and the importance of collaboration between industry and government to support a successful transition to zero-emission vehicles. 00:00 Kristian Aquilina  00:00 Career Journey  00:40 GM EV Portfolio Performance in Canada  06:15 Cadillac  08:10 Approach  09:55 Challenges  10:30 EV Transition 13:00 Hybrid Vehicles  15:45 Incentives & Mandates  17:30 EV Anxiety 19:45 Political Challenges  23:00 Supply Chains  24:50 Hyundai Partnership 28:50 Manufacturing  32:30 Goals  34:20 GM Energy (V2G) 37:45 National Charging Network    @fullychargedshow   @EverythingElectricShow 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 Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above 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 VANCOUVER - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025   Everything Electric FARNBOROUGH - Farnborough International - 11th & 12th October 2025   Everything Electric MELBOURNE  - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025
