The cabin offers up to 8 seats, a 31-inch 8K rear cinema screen, electric sliding doors, a centre-console fridge, and pricing from roughly €68,000 to €135,000 in Germany.GM REVIVES BOLT, THEN SETS AN END DATEGM has brought back the Chevrolet Bolt for 2027 as the cheapest EV in the US at $28,995, featuring a 65 kWh LFP battery, 210 hp, 262 miles of EPA range, and 150 kW NACS fast charging with a 10–80% time of 25 minutes. However, GM plans only one model year of production, as ending Bolt output frees its Kansas City plant to shift Equinox assembly from Mexico to the US.PORSCHE ADDS CAYENNE S ELECTRICPorsche has added the 2026 Cayenne S Electric at $128,650, slotting between the 435 hp base model and the 1,139 hp Turbo with 536 hp standard and 657 hp on launch control, hitting 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds. It shares the range's 108 kWh battery and 400 kW peak DC charging, reaching 10–80% in under 16 minutes, and borrows the Turbo's direct oil-cooling system for improved thermal resilience.ELLI CONNECTS FIRST GRID BATTERY IN SALZGITTERVolkswagen's energy subsidiary Elli has connected its first large-scale battery storage system—a 20 MW / 40 MWh PowerCentre across 13 containers—to the grid in Salzgitter, Germany. The system uses cells from VW's PowerCo plant, trades energy on the European Power Exchange, and is designed to stabilise grids and support renewable energy integration.GENESIS GV90 SPOTTED CHARGING AT SUPERCHARGERA camouflaged Genesis GV90 has been photographed charging at a Tesla Supercharger in Mesquite, Nevada, confirming the model will feature a standard NACS port as Genesis rolls out NACS across all new US-market EVs from 2026 onward. The GV90 is expected to ride on Hyundai's new eM platform, which promises 50% more range than the current E-GMP architecture, with higher trims set to feature coach doors and panoramic displays.SLATE AUTO CHANGES CEO BEFORE TRUCK LAUNCHSlate Auto has replaced founder and CEO Christine Barman with Peter Faricy, a former Amazon VP and Ford executive, less than a year before the planned launch of its low-cost electric truck. Barman, the company's first hire and one of only two women leading a US automaker, moves to the role of president of vehicles at the Jeff Bezos-backed startup.DACIA READIES SECOND SMALL ELECTRIC CARDacia is preparing a second small EV to sit alongside the Spring, developed in under 16 months and targeted at under €18,000, built on Renault's AmpR Small platform that also underpins the Renault 5. The unnamed model is part of Dacia's plan to launch four new EVs by 2030, with design direction hinted at by the Dacia Hipster concept unveiled in October 2024.IVECO PUTS WIRELESS ROAD CHARGING INTO TRAFFICIveco has launched a real-world dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) trial on the A35 Brebemi motorway in northern Italy, using a production eDaily van fitted with inductive charging hardware that can charge both while stationary and while driving over embedded road sections. The project moves DWPT beyond lab testing into live traffic conditions, though it remains a technology demonstration rather than a commercial rollout due to the large infrastructure investment required for wide deployment.BYD, CHERY AND GEELY EYE CANADABYD, Chery, and Geely are preparing to enter the Canadian market by end of 2026 following a January trade reset between Canada and China, under which Canada agreed to allow 49,000 China-made EVs at the most-favoured nation tariff rate in exchange for lower Chinese tariffs on Canadian agricultural goods. Up to 15 additional Chinese brands could follow, though homologation remains the key bottleneck, with Tesla, Volvo, and Polestar best positioned to move quickly under the quota as they already have certified vehicles and established retail networks in Canada.

This week on China EVs & More, Tu and Lei break down one of the biggest developments of the year in the global EV industry: BYD's massive technology reset and charging breakthrough.  Facing slowing domestic sales and intensifying competition in China's brutal EV price war, BYD responded with a sweeping announcement: a second-generation Blade Battery, ultra-fast 1500 kW flash charging, and plans to build 20,000 ultra-fast charging stations to support it. The message was clear—BYD intends to stay ahead of rivals like CATL, Geely, and Tesla by pushing the technological frontier.Tu and Lei unpack what this means for China's EV ecosystem, including how ultra-fast charging could challenge battery swapping models and reshape charging infrastructure globally.The episode also explores the widening gap between China's hyper-competitive EV market and the West, where Tesla's Model 3 and Model Y still dominate despite limited product updates. They discuss why Tesla remains the benchmark in autonomy and software—even as Chinese OEMs rapidly close the gap with AI-driven platforms and advanced ADAS systems.Other topics include:The scale of China's EV price war and BYD's strategy to regain momentumRoboSense becoming a major LiDAR supplier for BYD's new vehiclesWhy legacy automakers are struggling to keep pace with Chinese EV innovationThe rise of ultra-affordable EVs like the Geely XingyuanAnd how EV ownership experiences differ dramatically between China and the United StatesWith Tu now on his second EV and Lei about to take delivery of his first Tesla Model Y, the hosts also share real-world perspectives on EV ownership, charging infrastructure, and autonomy features.Fast-moving, analytical, and sometimes provocative, this episode captures the moment when the EV industry's center of gravity continues shifting toward China EV Inc.__________________________________________________________________________________________________

La llegada de Geely a España marca un nuevo paso en la expansión de fabricantes chinos en Europa. Analizamos quién es realmente Geely dentro del tablero global de la automoción, cuál es su músculo industrial y tecnológico y por qué ha decidido apostar ahora por el mercado español en un momento de fuerte competencia y transformación hacia la electrificación. Repasamos los primeros modelos electrificados que aterrizarán en 2026 y estudiamos su estrategia comercial: red de concesionarios, posicionamiento de precios y propuesta de valor frente a marcas ya consolidadas. La cuestión clave es si llega para competir únicamente en precio o si aspira a construir imagen y fidelidad en un mercado que empieza a familiarizarse con las marcas chinas.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyBMW TO UNVEIL ELECTRIC I3 SALOON ON 18 MARCH  BMW will reveal the new i3 saloon on 18 March as the first fully electric 3 Series, using the Neue Klasse Gen6 platform with 800V architecture, 400kW charging, and an expected 50 xDrive dual-motor, 108kWh setup targeting around 500 miles of range and potentially more thanks to its saloon aerodynamics. It will be the second Neue Klasse model after the iX3, aimed squarely at the Tesla Model 3 and future premium rivals from Mercedes, Audi, Xpeng and BYD's Denza, with a full line-up planned including an electric M3.  TESLA UK DROPS 37% AS UK EV SALES RISE  Tesla's UK registrations fell 37% year-on-year in February to 2,422 units, even as the overall market hit its strongest February since 2004 and BEVs grew to 24.2% of new registrations, with Chinese brands like BYD surging 83%. Tesla has argued that monthly registration data is misleading versus orders and quarterly shipments, but critics note all brands face similar timing issues, and for now the headline picture is a growing UK EV market in which Tesla's share is shrinking.  EVGO ENDS 2025 WITH 5,100 FAST-CHARGING STALLS  EVgo closed 2025 with 5,100 DC fast-charging stalls in operation, up 25% year-on-year after a record Q4 net gain of about 510 stalls, including 320 company-owned units and 190 eXtend-branded stalls at partner sites. The network is getting both denser and faster, with nearly a third of stations now offering six or more stalls and 62% of all stalls equipped with 350kW hardware, up sharply from 50% in late 2024.  LUCID FEBRUARY US SALES JUMP ON GRAVITY RAMP  Lucid's US sales jumped to 1,500 vehicles in February, almost double January, driven by a sharp ramp in Gravity SUV deliveries alongside 900 Air sedans. With Gravity now starting at $79,900 (via the Touring trim) and supported by a $7,500 lease credit plus targeted trade-in offers for Tesla, Rivian and Polestar owners, Lucid is boosting US momentum even as European registrations remain minimal. VW DEALERS SUE OVER SCOUT DIRECT SALES  Two Volkswagen dealerships in Connecticut and New York have launched a class-action lawsuit against Scout Motors and Volkswagen, arguing that Scout's Tesla-style direct-to-consumer sales model violates existing VW franchise agreements and deprives dealers of a lucrative new brand. Scout and CEO Scott Keogh counter that Scout is a separate entity from Volkswagen Group of America and therefore not bound to use VW's franchised dealer network.  VOLKSWAGEN GROUP HITS FOUR MILLION BEV DELIVERIES  Volkswagen Group has delivered its four-millionth battery-electric vehicle, accelerating from nearly a decade to reach the first million to adding the fourth million in just one year, powered largely by its MEB platform and around 30 all-electric passenger models. Most BEVs are built and sold in Europe, where compact SUVs and crossovers such as the VW ID.4/ID.5 dominate, while China and the US account for smaller but growing shares of volume and production. EGBATT LAUNCHES NOVA 60 DUAL BUFFERED CHARGER  EGbatt's new Nova 60 Dual combines a 60kW DC fast charger with a 60kWh LiFePO₄ battery in a single outdoor unit, allowing sites to deliver full fast-charging power without expensive grid upgrades by relying on buffered energy. Optional 20kW DC solar input lets operators integrate rooftop PV directly, helping cut operating costs and increase the share of renewable energy used for charging. LOTUS ADDS RANGE-EXTENDER ELETRE X FOR CHINA  Lotus has responded to softer demand for high-end pure EVs by launching the Eletre X plug-in range-extender SUV in China, pairing a 70kWh battery and 900V fast-charging system with a 2.0-litre turbo engine that mostly drives a generator but can also clutch to the front wheels for motorway efficiency. Delivering 952bhp, 0–62mph in 3.3 seconds and around 150 miles of electric-only range in a 2.6-tonne package, the Eletre X shares its new Geely-platform underpinnings with the Zeekr 9X and is slated to reach the UK no earlier than 2027.

Home EV charging costs are shielded for now by the energy price cap — fixed at 24.67p per kWh for electricity until end of June — but wholesale price rises could push the cap higher from July, making both home wallbox and public charging more expensive.​EUROPEAN FLEETS COULD SAVE €246BN BY 2030A new EY and Eurelectric report finds that fully electrifying Europe's corporate fleets could deliver up to €246 billion in cumulative savings and cut one billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030. However, the authors warn that cheaper running costs alone will not drive mass uptake, calling for coordinated action from manufacturers, policymakers, grid operators and finance providers to tackle high upfront costs, uncertain residual values, and charging infrastructure delays.CUPRA BORN FACELIFT BRINGS SHARP NOSE, SMALL TWEAKSCupra has facelifted the Born with a "shark nose" front end, triangular matrix LED headlights, a continuous rear light strip, and new 235 mm tyres across all five wheel options, while the aerodynamically improved 79 kWh variants now claim around 600 km (373 miles) of WLTP range. A new entry "Born Plus" trim pairs a 58 kWh battery with a 140 kW motor — figures that match Ford's Capri LFP option and strongly suggest a switch to LFP cells from the updated MEB+ platform — though Cupra has not confirmed drivetrain details and appears to be saving that announcement for a related reveal, likely the VW ID.3 facelift later in 2026.FORD EV SALES SINK 71% AFTER LIGHTNING EXITFord's US EV sales collapsed 71% in February 2026 to just 2,122 units, the steepest monthly drop in its EV history, driven by the discontinuation of the F-150 Lightning and the expiry of the federal EV tax credit. Ford's Model e division lost $4.8 billion in 2025 and is forecast to lose another $4–5 billion in 2026, with profitability not expected until 2029; the company has already booked a $19.5 billion writedown and is pivoting to a new ~$30,000 midsize electric pickup it hopes will revive the business by 2027.LUCID PATCHES GRAVITY SOFTWARE AGAINLucid Motors has pushed software update 3.4.4 to the Gravity SUV, targeting AC charging improvements and Drive Assist availability, following a January update that resolved around 95% of earlier software issues — with the car averaging a new update every 24 days since launch. Lucid has closed its online configurator for both the Air and Gravity while it prepares its 2027 model year announcement, and Air owners face a $950 hardware upgrade bill to access the newer UX 3.0 platform already running in the Gravity, due to arrive by autumn 2026.MITSUBISHI READIES LEAF-BASED EV FOR CANADAMitsubishi is preparing its first all-new model since the Eclipse Cross for Canadian dealerships in 2026, built on Nissan's CMF-EV platform and LEAF architecture, with spy shots showing a heavily camouflaged prototype that shares the LEAF's roofline, proportions, and rear hatch panel. Both models will be built side by side at Nissan's Kaminokawa plant in Japan, and Mitsubishi may receive the smaller battery pack to undercut the LEAF on entry price — a strategy that would see Nissan supply the foundations while a cheaper sibling competes for the same buyers.ALPITRONIC UNVEILS HYC400 SERIES 2 CHARGERAlpitronic has launched the HYC400 Series 2, retaining the 400 kW maximum output of its predecessor while upgrading to a 22-inch touchscreen (up from 15.6 inches), second-generation silicon carbide power stacks, and a higher continuous output current of 600 A (up from 500 A). The unit maintains 97.5% charging efficiency but standby power consumption rises significantly from 43 W to under 100 W, and cable options narrow to a single 5-metre length; Alpitronic will sell both generations simultaneously to suit different site requirements.​APTERA SHOWS FIRST VALIDATION-LINE VEHICLE PHOTOAptera Motors has published the first photo of a vehicle off its validation assembly line, marking a milestone for its three-wheeled, solar-assisted EV that claims 400 miles of range from a 44 kWh battery and up to 40 miles of daily solar charging, classified as a motorcycle to bypass certain safety regulations. The launch edition price has risen to $40,000 — a $9,300 increase from prior estimates — though a $28,000 model is planned for the future, and with nearly 50,000 pre-orders and a stated daily capacity of 80–100 vehicles, Aptera claims it could fulfil all orders within 500 days of full production, though the end-of-year delivery timeline remains uncertain.​GEELY TARGETS DEFENDER WITH GALAXY BATTLESHIPGeely plans to launch the Galaxy Battleship in the UK in 2028, a blocky hybrid 4x4 aimed squarely at the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser, with a production design expected to stay 90–95% true to the Galaxy Cruiser concept shown at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show. Built on the GEA Evo platform with steer- and brake-by-wire, it may use an AI-driven plug-in hybrid system with a stated output of around 858 bhp, and Geely is promising an interior that surpasses the Defender's for luxury — a bold claim for the Chinese brand's first foray into the 4x4 segment.​EU UNVEILS LOCAL-CONTENT RULES FOR CLEAN TECHThe European Commission has unveiled the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), tying over €2 trillion in public procurement and subsidies to low-carbon and "Made-in-EU" conditions across sectors including EVs, steel, cement, and wind turbines, with the goal of raising manufacturing's share of EU economic output from 14% to 20% by 2035. China is excluded from the initial trusted-partner list — which includes the UK, Canada, and the US — and foreign investments above €100 million from countries controlling 40%+ of global production would face strict conditions including capped 49% foreign ownership and mandatory technology transfer; BMW and Mercedes oppose the Act over fears of higher costs, while Renault backs it and the text must still clear the European Parliament before becoming law.​

National political advisers have been urged to build consensus and pool wisdom for the country to achieve a good start for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).全国政协委员为“十五五”开好局、起好步广泛凝心聚力，贡献智慧和力量。The fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body, opened on Wednesday at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, raising the curtain on this year's two sessions of China's top legislative and political advisory bodies.3月4日，全国政协十四届四次会议在北京人民大会堂开幕，标志着今年两会正式拉开帷幕。President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the opening meeting, joining around 2,100 CPPCC National Committee members from across the country and various sectors.中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平等党和国家领导人出席开幕会，与来自全国各界、各领域的约2100名全国政协委员共同参会。Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, delivered a work report on behalf of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, saying that 2025 was a pivotal year for China's path to modernization.全国政协主席王沪宁代表政协第十四届全国委员会常务委员会作工作报告，指出2025年是中国式现代化进程中具有重要意义的一年。Amid complex global and domestic challenges, China concluded the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) successfully, with strength in the economy, technology and defense reaching new heights, he said.面对错综复杂的国际形势和艰巨繁重的国内改革发展稳定任务，我国 “十四五” 圆满收官，经济实力、科技实力、国防实力迈上新台阶Over the past year, the CPPCC National Committee contributed to the country's development by organizing 98 consultative and deliberative activities. It received 5,992 proposals from members, of which 5,061 were accepted for processing and the response rate for the accepted proposals reached 99.9 percent, providing reference for the government, according to the report.一年来，全国政协共举办各类协商议政活动98场次，收到提案5992件，立案5061件，办复率99.9%，为政府决策提供了重要参考。Wang called for suggestions and deliberation during the session to be centered on the implementation of the new five-year plan.王沪宁指出，要围绕“十五五”规划实施议政建言。"We should focus on key issues in fields including economic development, scientific and technological innovation, reform and opening-up, social construction and people's livelihoods, and reflect social conditions and public opinion in a practical manner," he said.要围绕经济发展、科技创新、改革开放、社会建设、民生保障等领域重点问题，实事求是反映社情民意。Wang said the CPPCC National Committee will implement a democratic supervision work plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period to help promote the implementation of major decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.全国政协要实施好“十五五”时期全国政协民主监督工作计划，助推中共中央重大决策部署贯彻落实。The CPPCC National Committee will also hold activities to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the birth of Sun Yat-sen, a revered national hero and pioneer of the country's democratic revolution. It will strengthen foreign exchanges and better tell the stories of China's democracy, he added.要办好纪念孙中山先生诞辰160周年活动。要加强政协对外友好交往，讲好中国故事、中国全过程人民民主故事。Jiang Ying, CPPCC National Committee member and chairwoman of Deloitte China, said that as the nation gets ready to start the 15th Five-Year Plan, its push for high-level opening-up and win-win cooperation shows it is committed to high-quality growth through openness.全国政协委员、德勤中国主席蒋颖表示，在"十五五"规划即将开启之际，我国持续推进高水平对外开放和互利共赢合作，彰显了以开放促高质量发展的决心。"This is good news for global businesses — giving them more confidence and new opportunities," Jiang said, adding that China's continuous progress in areas like the digital economy and green transformation is attracting more multinational enterprises to base their research and development in China."这为全球企业带来更多信心与机遇，我国在数字经济、绿色转型等领域的持续突破，正吸引越来越多跨国企业将研发中心落户中国。"She said that managing cross-border data flows has become a key issue in high-level opening-up and her proposal this year highlights the problems enterprises face in cross-border data flows, aiming at making it easier and more convenient for enterprises to comply with regulations.蒋颖指出，跨境数据流动已成为高水平对外开放的关键议题，今年她重点关注企业数据跨境流动痛点，助力提升企业合规便利化水平。Li Shufu, a CPPCC National Committee member and chairman of Geely Holding Group, identified the "new trio" — electric vehicles, lithium batteries and photovoltaics — as pivotal trends for social progress.全国政协委员、吉利控股集团董事长李书福认为，电动汽车、锂电池、光伏产品"新三样"已成为社会发展的重要趋势。While noting that the auto industry is shifting from "involution-style" competition toward sustainable growth through technology and quality, Li said that Geely is working to convert unstable wind and solar energy into stable liquid fuels for storage and transportation.当前汽车行业正从"内卷式"竞争转向依托技术与质量的可持续发展，吉利正探索将不稳定的风光资源转化为稳定的液态燃料，实现能源的跨时空存储与运输。Clarence Ling Chun-kit, a CPPCC National Committee member from Hong Kong, said that given current cross-Strait tensions, frequent communication is more important than ever and he will focus more this year on youth exchanges.来自香港的全国政协委员凌俊杰表示，面对当前两岸关系形势，加强交流沟通至关重要，今年他将重点关注两岸青年交流。Noting that cross-Strait integration in scientific areas like artificial intelligence and computing during the 15th Five-year Plan period is essential, Ling said Hong Kong serves as a "natural bridge" to help Taiwan compatriots understand the "real situation on the Chinese mainland" through shared cultural and trade ties.他强调，在"十五五"规划期间推动人工智能、算力等科技领域的两岸融合发展尤为重要，香港可发挥天然桥梁作用，通过深化文化经贸纽带，帮助台湾同胞更好了解大陆真实发展情况。cross-border data flows /ˌkrɒsˈbɔːdə ˈdeɪtə fləʊz/跨境数据流动 photovoltaics /ˌfəʊtəʊvɒlˈteɪɪks/光伏 involution /ˌɪnvəˈluːʃən/内卷

El mercado de turismos arranca febrero de 2026 con fuerza: 97.082 nuevas matriculaciones, un 7,5% más que en el mismo mes del año pasado. Analizamos el liderazgo del SEAT Ibiza como modelo más vendido y debatimos qué hay detrás de su éxito sostenido. Además, profundizamos en el récord de OMODA & JAECOO, que con 2.887 matriculaciones y un crecimiento del 83,5% interanual consolida su ofensiva híbrida enchufable, impulsada por su tecnología SHS y modelos como el OMODA 5 SHS-H y el nuevo OMODA 7 SHS. También ponemos el foco en BYD, que encadena diez meses liderando el acumulado de enchufables en España y sitúa al BYD ATTO 2 como el enchufable más vendido del país. Hablamos también de la llegada de Geely a España, una de las grandes noticias del año. Analizamos su posicionamiento, qué modelos electrificados traerá en 2026 y qué estrategia seguirá en un mercado cada vez más competido y con fuerte presencia de marcas chinas. ¿Viene a competir en precio, en tecnología o en ambas? El coche del mes en la radio es el Renault 4 E-Tech. Más allá de repasar sus datos técnicos, abrimos debate sobre la brillante estrategia de Renault al recuperar iconos históricos para impulsar su gama eléctrica. El éxito del Renault 5 E-Tech demuestra que diseño, nostalgia y tecnología pueden ir de la mano en un momento en el que al coche eléctrico todavía le cuesta despegar. Recordamos también la historia del Renault 4 original, el mítico “Cuatro latas”, y reflexionamos sobre cómo la herencia puede ser clave en la transición energética. Comentamos además la presentación de la norma UNE 82509:2026, el primer marco en España para regular los instrumentos de medida remota de emisiones de los vehículos. Una herramienta que puede marcar un antes y un después en el control medioambiental y en la conversación pública sobre movilidad, especialmente en un contexto de expansión de las ZBE. En el espacio de Car and Driver, recordamos que la cabecera no es solo la revista del kiosco, sino también sus newsletters, y destacamos el “Electrodosier C&D”, un especial de 50 páginas publicado en el número 334 de Car and Driver España, donde se analizan hasta 40 modelos eléctricos con pruebas, datos y la opinión de expertos para entender el presente y el futuro inmediato del coche eléctrico en nuestro país. En Seguridad Vial con Hyundai escuchamos el audio del encuentro de radios escolares en el que alumnos de 11 y 12 años responden a una pregunta clave: ¿qué saben sobre la baliza V16? Un termómetro muy interesante para medir cómo cala la nueva normativa entre las generaciones más jóvenes. Analizamos también cómo es el primer eléctrico de Suzuki, el Suzuki eVitara. Repasamos todos sus datos técnicos, posicionamiento, autonomía y precios, y debatimos si este modelo puede convertirse en una alternativa real dentro del competido segmento SUV eléctrico. Abrimos un espacio de reflexión sobre el tratamiento de la información del motor en la prensa regional. Desde Alicante, analizamos cómo se vive el automóvil en una ciudad de tamaño medio, qué papel juegan concesionarios y publicidad local, cómo se perciben las marcas chinas y el coche eléctrico y qué impacto real están teniendo las ZBE fuera de las grandes capitales. En “Curiosidades muy curiosas”, Rubén Gómez nos lleva a Japón para recordar el pacto de caballeros de los 280 CV. Repasamos modelos míticos como el Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, el Toyota Supra o el Honda NSX y explicamos por qué marcas y Gobierno acordaron en 1989 limitar potencia y velocidad. También contamos cómo se rompió definitivamente el acuerdo con la llegada del Honda Legend y la escalada posterior que culminó en deportivos como el Nissan GT-R R35. Cerramos el programa con el Kia EV3, protagonista tras alzarse con el Premio ABC al Mejor Coche del Año 2026. Analizamos por qué este eléctrico está rompiendo moldes y qué representa dentro de la nueva generación de modelos que buscan democratizar la movilidad eléctrica en España. Esta semana en el podcast nos acompañan Antonio R.

Este tema me apasiona porque mezcla tres ingredientes explosivos: la ingeniería, la gestión empresarial y el puro instinto de supervivencia. A menudo vemos a gigantes como BMW, Porsche o Volkswagen y pensamos que son instituciones inamovibles, como si siempre hubieran estado ahí y siempre fueran a estarlo. Pero la realidad de la industria del automóvil es mucho más cruel. Hoy vamos a hacer un recorrido cronológico por unos cuantos modelos, en concreto 12+1 -usar esta “trampa” es un guiño que hago siempre como homenaje a nuestro querido Ángel Nieto. 1. Ford 1949 "The Shoe" (1949). El renacer tras la guerra. Empezamos justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Ford estaba en una situación crítica. Henry Ford, el fundador, se había vuelto una figura errática y la gestión de la empresa era un caos absoluto. Perdían 10 millones de dólares de la época al mes. 2. BMW Isetta (1955). El huevo salvador. A mediados de los 50, BMW estaba literalmente en la ruina. Su estrategia era un desastre: fabricaban el 501 y el 502, berlinas de lujo con motores V8 que eran maravillosas técnicamente pero que nadie en la Alemania de la posguerra podía comprar. 3. BMW 700 (1959): El "no" a Mercedes. Si el Isetta les dio aire, el BMW 700 les dio la vida. Para finales de los 50, la presión de Daimler-Benz para absorber a BMW era asfixiante. 4. Volkswagen Golf Mk1 (1974). El fin de la era del aire. Volkswagen estuvo a punto de morir por culpa de su mayor éxito: el Beetle o Escarabajo. Se obsesionaron tanto con el motor trasero refrigerado por aire que ignoraron que el mundo estaba cambiando. 5. Chrysler "K-Cars" (1981). El milagro de Lee Iacocca. Esta es una historia de cine. Chrysler estaba en quiebra técnica. Lee Iacocca, que acababa de ser despedido de Ford, llegó a la presidencia y tuvo que pedir al Congreso de los Estados Unidos un préstamo garantizado para no cerrar. Su argumento era: "Denme el dinero y les daré un coche que América necesita". Ese coche fue la plataforma K. 6. Peugeot 205 (1983). "Contigo al fin del mundo". Peugeot a finales de los 70 era una marca gris. Habían comprado la división europea de Chrysler y las marcas Simca y Talbot). Y la gestión fue catastrófica. Estaban perdiendo dinero y su imagen era la de coches para gente muy mayor que no quería llamar la atención. El proyecto M24 era su última bala en la recámara. 7. SEAT Ibiza Mk1 (1984). El orgullo español. En España conocemos bien esta historia. SEAT se había separado de Fiat de malas maneras. Se quedaron sin tecnología, sin diseños y con una fábrica enorme que alimentar. El Gobierno español les dio un ultimátum: o hacéis un coche propio que se pueda exportar, o cerramos. Y así nació el Ibiza. 8. Aston Martin DB7 (1994). El puzle más bello. Aston Martin a principios de los 90 era un "zombie". Hacían el Virage, un coche pesado, carísimo y artesanal del que vendían poquísimas unidades. Ford compró la marca, pero no quería gastar mucho dinero. Le encargaron a Ian Callum diseñar un coche "barato", para los estándares de Aston, usando lo que hubiera en la estantería de piezas de Ford y Jaguar. 9. Porsche Boxster 986 (1996). El salvador de Stuttgart. Hoy Porsche es la marca más rentable del mundo, pero en 1992 estaban al borde del colapso. Sus procesos de fabricación eran lentos y costosos. Los rumores de que Toyota iba a comprarlos eran constantes. Entonces, decidieron hacer algo radical: traer a consultores de Toyota para que les enseñaran a fabricar de forma eficiente. 10. Bentley Continental GT (2003). Del club de campo al siglo XXI. Bentley era, durante décadas, la "marca B" de Rolls-Royce. Coches pesados, lentos y que solo compraban aristócratas británicos. Cuando el Grupo Volkswagen ganó la batalla por la marca, mientras BMW se quedaba con Rolls, tenían que hacer algo para que Bentley no fuera una ruina. 11. Nissan Qashqai (2007). El invento del Crossover. A principios de los 2000, Nissan Europa no levantaba cabeza. El Almera y el Primera eran coches correctos, pero totalmente invisibles frente al Golf o el Mondeo. La marca perdía dinero en el continente y se planteaban la retirada. Entonces, en lugar de hacer un "Almera nuevo", decidieron arriesgar con algo que nadie entendía muy bien. 12. Volvo XC90 (2015). El renacimiento sueco. Tras ser propiedad de Ford, Volvo fue vendida a la china Geely. Muchos pensaron que sería el fin de la esencia sueca, pero fue al revés. Geely les dio el dinero y les dijo: "Haced el mejor coche que sepáis hacer". El XC90 de segunda generación fue ese coche. 12+1. Tesla Model 3 (2017). El infierno de la producción. No podíamos cerrar esta lista sin el coche que cambió las reglas del juego actuales. En 2017, Tesla estaba a pocas semanas de quedarse sin efectivo. El Model 3, su primer coche "de masas", era una pesadilla de fabricar.

Description: In this episode, we dive deep into Tesla's long-promised Cybercab as production reportedly begins and Elon Musk claims a sub-$30,000 price tag could arrive this year. We examine conflicting narratives around Tesla's robotaxi progress, including sharp criticism of the program eight months in and fresh timeline promises. Tesla's software push continues with Grok-enabled navigation in Europe and a renewed FSD launch in China backed by a local data center. Meanwhile, Tesla faces mounting pressure overseas, with UK sales plunging as BYD surges ahead and broader EV market share slipping despite overall auto growth. Legacy automakers aren't sitting still either—Ford is lobbying for access to Chinese EV tech, while BYD and Geely eye major North American production capacity. We also cover Polestar's aggressive expansion plans, Cruise's admission over a false pedestrian report, and the evolving EV policy and infrastructure conversation in Manitoba.

On my route home from work is a big arterial road with a whole line of different car dealerships. There's a Toyota yard, a Ford dealership, a Mazda and a Volkswagon. A series of uber-fancy ones selling everything from Audis to McLarens to Lamborghinis. And as I made my one home one night a couple of weeks ago, a new sign caught my eye. What the hell is Zeekr? I wondered. Actually, truth be told I already had a pretty good hunch and a quick Google that evening confirmed my suspicion. Zeekr is the latest premium Chinese EV company to hit the New Zealand market. You can add it to Geely and Farizon, EV brands owned by the same Chinese conglomerate. Add to those Xpeng, which has its first dealerships and sells a pretty smart-looking coupe SUV. Add to it Leapmotor, Dongfeng and old mate BYD, and if you've spent any time on the road in New Zealand of late, you've surely noticed we are in the midst of a bit of a revolution with Chinese Evs. It's not just us, of course. It's everywhere. Last year, China exported $115B worth of electric vehicles. That was a 43% increase on 2024. And they're not only relying on a single export market for their sales. Chinese EV sales are booming almost everywhere. 66 countries last year spent more than $US 100m on Chinese EVs. Why am I telling you this? Well I reckon there's good reason to think that Donald Trump's decision to scrap emissions standards and environmental regulations this week, is the equivalent of laying down your king and resigning the chess board. It might make combustion engine vehicles a bit cheaper for U.S consumers in the short term, but as the World slowly shifts to cleaner technology, it hands the Chinese EV makers an even greater advantage. Where is the incentive for U.S carmakers to make good EVs? Where is the incentive to push consumers towards electric vehicles? There's a reason Tesla has opposed scrapping the vehicle standards. And what will it mean for U.S carmakers trying to sell into markets where emissions standards are still in place? China's used some pretty extraordinary methods to propel its clean tech industries. They've subsidised and propped up EV makers in a way that foreign manufacturers say is anti-competitive and unfair. But look at BYD's extraordinary vertical integration. They own mining rights. They revolutionised battery technology. They have purpose-built ships, designed to the perfect specifications to maximise the number of vehicles they can export. And look at the quality, the features, and price point of Chinese EVs. There is a reason they are poving so popular. I don't think for a moment that EVs are the solution to everything. But I do think that on balance they'll play a huge part in domestic transport in the near future. If you agree, then in my view Donald Trump and the United States has just thrown in the towel and more or less guaranteed that China will dominate that EV future.

Ce mercredi 4 février, François Sorel a reçu Isabelle Bordry, fondatrice de Retency, Yves Maitre, operating partner chez Jolt Capital, et Frédéric Simottel, journaliste BFM Business. Ils se sont penchés sur Ford s'apprêtant à signer avec Geely pour un partenariat stratégique dans l'industrie automobile, le début de la production des voitures par l'usine de BYD en Europe, ainsi que la levée de 16 milliards de dollars par le géant des robotaxis Waymo pour partir à la conquête du monde, dans l'émission Tech & Co, la quotidienne, sur BFM Business. Retrouvez l'émission du lundi au jeudi et réécoutez-la en podcast.

In Episode 236, Tu and Lei deliver one of their most wide-ranging and revealing conversations yet—covering Tesla's strategic retreat from cars, China's accelerating dominance in EVs, autonomy, and robotics, and unveiling the inaugural China EVs & More Awards - the EViesThe episode opens with Tesla's bombshell earnings call: the Model S and Model X are effectively retired, revenues decline for a second straight year, yet the stock rallies on promises of robotaxis, robotics, and AI abundance. Tu and Lei explain why Wall Street is betting on a future Tesla that is no longer a car company—and why China's crowded robotaxi and robotics markets make that future far less certain than investors believe.They contrast Tesla's promises with reality on the ground in China, where BYD, NIO, XPeng, Huawei, Geely, and Xiaomi are rapidly upgrading ADAS, launching new models, and redefining value. The discussion highlights how Western media is only now “discovering” vehicles like the Xiaomi SU7 and YU7, despite Chinese OEMs offering Model 3/Y-level features at half the price.The second half of the episode introduces the China EVs & More Awards, recognizing the companies, products, and people that defined the year—while exposing who fell behind. From Zombie Company of the Year to EV of the Year, the awards spark debate around survival, execution, and scale in the world's most competitive auto market.The episode closes with a sober look at automation, delivery, labor displacement, and UBI, asking whether autonomy will ultimately create abundance—or social shock—across global mobility systems.Insightful, provocative, and data-driven, this episode explains why China EV Inc. is no longer the future—it's the present.___

Sports cars comprise around 1% of new car sales these days, sadly. We discuss, and Steve-0 and our trauma surgeon Dr Stephan Moran pick our five favorite sports cars of all time.Trauma surgeon safety segment: For many years, Dr Moran has been advocating for better crash dummies ("They should have 20 different size and gender dummies lined up, and the tester can pick any one and put it into a car and run the test", is what he's been saying). Chinese manufacturer Geely has built a safety testing facility that can test 60 crash dummies, so finally someone out there has been paying attention and making cars safer through better crash testing. Dr Moran discusses.Stephan spots an insane Honda Accord. Us old guys think it's Fugly, but presumably "da kids" love it.Steve-0 gets into 2025 new car sales data and draws some conclusions: big pickups rule, compact crossovers and big SUVs are selling like crazy, BEVs are fading fast, and BMW is dominating the luxury market (with Lexus close behind).#carsoncallpodcast #automobile #traumasurgeonsafety #sportscar #bmw #lexus

This week on Autonomy Markets, Grayson Brulte and Walter Piecyk discuss Tesla officially removing safety attendants from Robotaxis in Austin, Waymo's commercial launch in Miami, and Serve Robotics' strategic acquisition of Diligent Robotics.It finally happened. Tesla has removed safety attendants from a select group of vehicles in Austin. While this initial fleet is limited and operating in a specific geofence and utilizing chase cars, Grayson and Walt view this as a critical validation of the technology. Looking ahead, Grayson predicts the operational domain will expand significantly in Austin over the next 60 days, with the Phoenix metro region slated as the next target market for deployment. As Tesla went safety attendant-out, Waymoopened the Miami market for limited commercial service within a 60-square-mile area, with one major caveat, no Miami Beach. On the Foreign Autonomy Desk, Grayson and Walt discuss Geely's plan to deploy 100,000 methanol-powered robotaxis in China and the South Korean government's selection of Gwangju as the nation's first dedicated autonomous vehicle testing zone.Episode Chapters0:00 Tesla Removes Safety Attendant in Austin 9:19 Operational Efficiency 10:33 Alex Roy Goes Coast-to-Coast with Zero FSD Interventions 14:15 Drive on FSD, Get a Discount 18:25 FSD is Expanding as Prices are Increasing 23:31 New Robotaxi Markets 24:53 Waymo Launches Miami Markets28:33 Vandalizing Waymo's32:20 Serve Robotics Acquires Diligent Robotics36:41 Foreign Autonomy Desk 39:21 Next WeekRecorded on Friday, January 23, 2026 --------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy provides market intelligence and strategic advisory services to institutional investors and companies, delivering insights needed to stay ahead of emerging trends in the autonomy economy™.
