Ich prophezeie es, dass sich künftig häufiger die Frage stellt, wer ein bestimmtes Auto baut. Und hinter englisch klingenden Namen findet sich dann vermutlich immer häufiger ein chinesisches Unternehmen. Ein Beispiel: Great Wall Motor. In China ist das Unternehmen seit 11 Jahren Marktführer im Bereich SUV in China und seit 23 Jahren im Bereich Pickup. Mal sehen, wann das auch für Limousinen und Coupés so sein wird. Darum geht es diesmal!Kürzlich hatte ich eine nette Begegnung, die künftig vermutlich häufiger vorkommen wird. Ich stand neben meinem damaligen Testfahrzeug, einem Ora 07, als mich ein Spaziergänger fragte, welcher Automobilhersteller denn Ora sei. Ich habe ihm ordnungsgemäß erklärt, dass Ora die Typenbezeichnung des Fahrzeugs sei und der Hersteller die Firma GWM, also Great Wall Motors. Er meinte dann, dass dieses schnittige Auto garantiert sehr teuer sei. Als ich ihm den Preis genannt habe, war er mehr als erstaunt. Das sei ja ausgesprochen günstig. Und nein, ich habe ihm natürlich nicht widersprochen!Power und Drive!    Dass der dynamisch elegante GWM ORA 07 ein sportliches Fahrzeug ist, erkennt man schon an seiner Linienführung. Ist man mit der Frontantriebsvariante mit dem 150 kW (204 PS) starken Elektromotor unterwegs, erreicht man im Spurt nach 8,2 Sekunden eine Geschwindigkeit von 100 km/h, die Höchstgeschwindigkeit liegt bei 170 km/h. Wie viel Dampf ein ORA 07 haben kann, zeigt sich aber in der allradgetriebenen GT-Variante. Dank 300 kW (408 PS) unter der Haube dauert der Spurt nur knapp mehr als halb so lange. Nach 4,5 Sekunden ist Tempo 100 erledigt, bei 180 km/h wird abgeriegelt. Seine Reichweite beträgt dank 86 kWh Batterie bis zu 520 km, innerorts sogar bis zu 625. Die Ladedauer für den GT liegt an einer Schnellladesäule bei 43 Minuten. Die Kosten!Zu Beginn dieses Beitrages hatte ich erwähnt, dass der Spaziergänger den Preis des Fahrzeugs kaum glauben konnte. Diese Daten schulde ich Ihnen auch noch. Für die Version mit 150 kW (204 PS) sind – je nach Ausstattung 41.990 bzw. 44.490 € fällig, bei unserem Testaspiranten handelte es sich um die 300 kW (408 PS) Version, die mit 53.490 € zu Buche schlägt. Und es gibt nur einen möglichen Aufpreis, das ist die Lackierung, die noch einmal 790 € verschlingen kann. Bei unserem Testfahrzeug war nicht mal das erforderlich, es war im serienmäßigen Metallic Snow White lackiert. Ich sage es mal so: eine ganze Reihe von etablierten Autoherstellern muss sich vermutlich in Zukunft warm anziehen. Denn die Ausstattung dieses Fahrzeugs ist darüber hinaus so umfangreich, dass jeder Versuch, sie hier einigermaßen seriös darzustellen, zum Scheitern verurteilt ist. Das gilt wohl gemerkt schon für die Einstiegsversion.  Alle Fotos: © O! Automobile GmbH / GWM   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Se dice que la primera superbike fue la Honda CB750 de 1968 con su motor de 4 cilindros en línea. Luego apareció en 1972 la Benelli Sei con su motor de 6 cilindros en línea. En 1987 Honda lanzó su Goldwing GL 1500 con motor bóxer de 6 cilindros… y parecía que no hacían falta más ¿Eso crees? Pues te equivocas… ¿por qué conformarse con 6 si puedes tener 8? ¡Olvida la lógica! En ese vídeo no hay. ¿Qué pesan mucho, que son muy grandes?... ¡qué más da! Porque, desde luego, la sensación de llevar una moto con motor V8, 8 litros de cilindrada y 500 CV, desde luego, es única. Así que vamos a ver 10 motos que llevan motores V8… a ver si las conoces todas. En general hemos huido de motos “made in… tu propia casa”, pero alguna hemos incluido porque valía la pena. Y las hemos ordenado como me ha parecido más oportuno. 1. Boss Hoss V8. En 1990 un tío llamado Monte Warme decidió que quería tener una moto con motor V8. Y la moto tuvo tanto éxito que lleva fabricadas miles de ellas. Las tienes con motores de entre 5 y 8,5 litros, potencias de más de 500 CV y de peso… ¿de verdad quieres que hablemos de peso? El tope de gama alcanza casi los 600 kg… 2. Eisenberg. Y es que hay gente que no se conforma con nada. Por ejemplo, Zef Eisenberg al que los 200 CV de una Suzuki GSX-R1300 Hayabusa le parecían pocos. ¿Qué hizo? Pues unir dos motores de Hayabusa con la cilindrada aumenta a 1.500 cm3 para tener un V8 de 3 litros. Retoques por aquí y por allá permiten que este motor sobrepase las 10.000 rpm y alcanza los 480 CV… que no está mal. 3. F355. A los más conocedores de las 4 ruedas les sonará este nombre, que es un modelo de Ferrari. El danés Birgen Hansen, dueño del astillero X-Yacht era muy aficionado a las motos y a los coches. Y junto con su mejor amigo se les ocurrió que una moto con motor V8 tendría su gracia. Ya sabéis estas cosas que decimos los tíos… “¿A que no hay h… para hacer una moto con motor Ferrari?”. 4. Norton Némesis. Os traigo una moto que fue diseñada y fabricada por una marca de prestigio, nada menos que Norton. Era una moto muy innovadora, con un chasis todo de aluminio, un tren delantero muy particular, frenos perimetrales y, como colofón, un motor V8 todo aluminio de 1.500 cm3 que daba 235 CV… que no está mal ahora, pero en 1998, cuando apareció esta moto, estaba muy bien. 5. Moto Guzzi V8. Para mí, probablemente, la moto más interesante de esta lista. Nacida en 1955 para competir en la categoría máxima del motociclismo, cuando la cilindrada estaba limitada a 500 cm3, pero no había límite de cilindros. Esta moto era y es una joya, con su motor V8 a 90 gracias de 500 cm3 y que desarrollaba 80 CV a 14.000 rpm, ambas cifras disparatadas para su época… ¡incluso hoy día son cifras muy buenas! 6. Curtissd V8. Vamos a dar otro salto atrás en el tiempo… un salto grande… a 1906, hace la friolera de 118 años. Glenn Curtis, un hombre decidió, quiso ser el hombre más rápido del mundo por tierra, mar o aire y para ello diseño una moto que era poco más que un sencillo chasis de tubo con un motor V8 de 4,4 litros y nada menos que…. ¡40 CV! Una barbaridad en su época. El peso total era de unos 200 kg. 7. Jap V8. Esta moto, visualmente, a lo mejor te parece coetánea de la Curtiss. Pero no, es más moderna… exactamente 111 años más moderna. Desde luego si te gustan las rarezas y llamar la atención, ¡esta es tu moto! La moto es obra yo diría que, de un artista, Pavel Malanik, un tío que se dedica a hacer realidad las motos de sus sueños. Soñó ésta y la fabricó. 8. Olson V8. Otra idea loca de otro loco. En los años 60 había un afamado proveedor de piezas de competición de motos llamada “Honest Haarley” que se anunciaba en revistas como “Hot Rod”. Coker Tire compró el nombre y se dedicó a hacer motos con motor V8 de origen Ford. Y ahí siguen… 9. Vanquish V8. Hablamos de una moto que se fabrica hoy día, de forma artesanal y a precio de cientos de miles de euros, pero que puedes personalizar a tu gusto. Según Vanquish, de sus talleres no salen dos motos iguales y yo me lo creo. 10. Souo S2000 SL y ST. GWM o Great Wall Motor, además de coches ha decidido hacer motos con motor V8… ahí les tienes. La Souo S2000 es una mega cruiser con motor V8 de 1.8 litros y 129 CV… la verdad es que no puedo evitar pensar, ¿para 129 CV hacen falta tantos cilindros? Y justo recuerdo que, en este vídeo, hemos dicho que la lógica la dejábamos fuera. Es una moto moderna, de 400 kg, con una pinta impresionante, con cambio de doble embrague y 8 marchas con una pantalla de casi 13 pulgadas y nacida con la idea de plantar cara a la Goldwing. Pero de momento, no hay planes de traerla a Europa. Conclusión. Nunca me compraría ninguna de estas motos… bueno la Guzzi no está a la venta, pero esa, justo, sí me la compraría. Pero no me importaría hacer un viajecito con alguna de ellas. Antes me aseguraría de que el seguro incluye asistencia en carretera… por si se me cae al aparcar.

De extra heffing die de Europese Commissie wil invoeren op in China gebouwde auto's raakt automerk Mini keihard. De nieuwe elektrische Mini, die in China van de band rolt, wordt volgens Reuters getroffen door het hoogste importtarief van 38,1 procent. Mini bouwt het model samen met de Chinese autofabrikant Great Wall Motor. Het samenwerkingsverband is nog jong en kon niet (volledig) meewerken aan het Europese onderzoek naar potentiële Chinese staatssteun.  Verder in de auto-update: Fiat deelt de eerste informatie over de volledig nieuwe Panda. De politie in Dubai voegt de Tesla Cybertruck toe aan zijn vloot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's about control and global totalitarianism. China to become world's largest automobile exporter – data China is on track to become the world's top car exporter this year for the first time ever, Nikkei Asia reported on Friday, citing preliminary data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM). Statistics show the country exported 4.41 million automobiles from January through November, up 58% from the same period in 2022. China thus overtook former export leader Japan, whose full-year total is expected to be around 4.3 million. According to the report, the last time Japan dropped from the top spot was in 2016, when it was surpassed by Germany. “China aims to become an automotive powerhouse, and sees the global shift to EVs (electric vehicles) as a way to achieve that goal,” Nikkei wrote. The report pointed out that the surge in Chinese exports to Russia followed the exodus of Japanese and Western automakers from its market amid new sanctions. CAAM statistics show that China exported 730,000 vehicles to Russia in the January-October period, seven times as many as a year earlier. Chery Automobile and Great Wall Motor reportedly exported mostly gasoline-powered cars to the country, including midsize and large sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Mexico was the second-largest export market, with the volume of Chinese cars there soaring 71% to 330,000 units. “Chinese automakers are looking to build a customer base in the country to serve as a foothold for an eventual expansion into the US and Canadian markets,” Nikkei wrote. Source: rt.com Consumers Are Rejecting The Great Reset  A friend got a rental of a Tesla over the holidays. It's undoubtedly the industry standard for EVs and a complete blast to drive. The problem: It's not a practical car at all. He was driving in the cold, and the car was nearly drained after two hours. Searching for a charge was no easy task. The first one didn't work. The second one stated that it would be charged in 10 hours, which he didn't have. The third one charged in one hour but that was a full hour wasted. His conclusion: This is indeed a glorified golf cart designed to keep you at home and under the thumb of the manufacturer. And this is just a test. The repairs are worse. Keep in mind that this is the best the industry has to offer. The other manufacturers of these things make products not nearly as high-rated, which is why so many of them are sitting on lots unsold and why orders for the machines are plummeting. It seems like the EV craze has peaked already. Growth in gas cars is now far higher than electrics, flipping a trend from 12 months ago. Finally, consumers are figuring it out. This is a good second car, provided you're driving in your own town,

In der aktuellen Elektroauto-News.net Folge ist Philipp Kemmler zu Gast, der sein des Zeichens Head of Communication and Public Affairs Europe bei Great Wall Motor ist, einem chinesischen Automobilhersteller, der bereits seit 1983 am Markt ist. Somit auch eine Verbrennervergangenheit hat, mittlerweile aber auch den Wandel hin zu elektrifiziert beziehungsweise rein elektrischen Antrieben vollzieht. Das nicht nur in China, sondern auch mittlerweile in Europa mit zwei eigenen Marken. Weitere können oder werden wohl folgen. Wir haben das Ganze eben zweigeteilt betrachtet. Einmal die Herausforderung im chinesischen Markt mit dort ansässigen Unternehmen als auch den Sprung von China nach Europa mit all den Chancen und Risiken, die sich dort öffnen. Wir gehen direkt rein ins Gespräch mit Philipp Kemmler. Viel Freude damit.

The pod starts with a brief update on the UAW & US Three situation but moves quickly over to a brief disussion about Li Auto's openly stated and ambitious goals of selling 3M vehicles in China by 2028. Tu then pushes the chat to Porsche and the struggles they may beginning to see in the China market, a market they've only seen growth in since entering in 2001. Tu and Lei move the discussion over to Great Wall Motor's Haomo.ai announcing a very inexpensive ADAS system that starts at less than ¥10K and how LiDAR and overall sensor pricing for ADAS systems will quickly move into commodity territory as Chinese providers continue to try to compete on price. Tu brings up how GM has offered to unionize its US battery facilities as a carrot in the ongoing UAW negotiations and they both talk about how the LG & BYD partnership could be used to skirt the Inflation Reduction Act restrictions. The podcast ends with Tu talking about his trip to SF and and both of them talking about WM's bankruptcy filing.

Die zunehmende Elektromobilität bringt auch eine Reihe neuer Automobilproduzenten mit sich!  Great Wall Motors ist einer davon. Den Deutschlandvertrieb des Ora Funky Cat aus diesem Konzern hat sich die Emil Frey Gruppe gesichert. Falls Ihnen das nichts sagt: Es dürfte fast keine Automobilmarke bei uns geben, die nicht von der Frey Gruppe vertrieben wird und das Unternehmen ist auch der deutsche Importeur von Mitsubishi und Subaru. Das wird also funktionieren! Darum geht es diesmal!Ja, ich gebe es zu. Als ehemaliger Lateinschüler fragt man sich schon, wie der Fahrzeugname Ora bei einem Automobilkonzern wie Great Wall Motor entstanden ist. Bekanntlich heißt das übersetzt „Bete!“ Da es sich bei dem Ora um ein reines Elektroauto handelt, könnte man Sorgen bezüglich der Reichweite haben. Aber ich kann Sie beruhigen! Wenn Sie mit einem Ora Funky Cat unterwegs sind, gibt es wirklich keinen Grund zur Sorge. Und mal unter uns. Ein Hersteller würde einen solchen Namen wohl kaum verwenden, wenn er irgendwelche Bedenken in dieser Richtung hätte. Das Outfit!Funky Cat könnte man am ehesten mit „unkonventionelle Katze“ oder besser als „flippige Katze“ übersetzen. Und Fakt ist, Funky Cat hat ein lustiges Gesicht mit süßen Kulleraugen. Nicht nur Frauen werden auf das süße Lächeln stehen! Oder abfahren. Fahren passt zu einem Auto schließlich besser als Stehen. Nicht wahr? Power und Drive!    Aber schauen wir uns mal die Fakten an. Der Ora Funky Cat wird durch einen 126 kW (171 PS) starken Elektromotor angetrieben. Welche Leistung beim Tritt auf das Gaspedal aktuell erzeugt wird, kann man im Display ablesen und Sie werden sehen, wie schnell der Wagen es zur Maximalleistungsausbeute von 126 kW (171 PS) schafft. Nach nur etwas mehr als 8 Sekunden ist Tempo 100 erreicht.  Die Maximalgeschwindigkeit liegt bei 160 km/h. Das ist heutzutage die Regel und das reicht auf unseren verstopften Straßen auch völlig aus.   Diese Leistung ist bei allen Funky Cat Varianten identisch, unterschiedlich ist allerdings die Batteriekapazität, was für die Reichweite relevant ist.  Die 48 kWh-Batterie schafft eine Reichweite von 310 Kilometern, die 63 kWh-Version schafft 420. Das ist in der Regel ausreichend. Zudem lässt sich der Ora an einer Schnelladesäule innerhalb von 43 bzw. 48 Minuten auf 80 % aufladen. Die Kosten!Die Preisskala des Ora Funky Cat reicht ja nach Batteriekapazität und Ausstattung von 38.990, -- bis 49.490, -- Euro.  Und schon in der Einstiegsversion bringt der Wagen Dinge wie Gesichtserkennung, 360-Grad-Kamera, Querverkehrerkennung hinten samt Notbremsfunktion ebenso mit wie einen Totwinkelwarner, eine adaptive Abstands- und Geschwindigkeitsregelung oder auch einen Stau- und Spurhalteassistenten. Diese Aufzählung ist natürlich NICHT vollständig! Die höherwertigen Ausstattungen legen da noch einiges drauf.   Alle Fotos: © ORA / Frey Import Services GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Cerca de 13 meses depois do primeiro evento na fábrica de Iracemápolis (SP), a Great Wall Motor, ou GWM, realmente se coloca como a nova concorrente no mercado brasileiro. Com o Haval H6 em três opções, a empresa chinesa cumpre a promessa de ser competitiva em valor com modelos híbridos diante de Jeep, VW e Toyota neste primeiro lançamento.

Tu and Lei start off this episode with a brief discussion on all of the news from NIO Day 2021 including their initial reaction to the ET5. Tu believes that the Tesla MIC Model 3 could have some serious competition between the NIO ET5 & the XPeng P5 in 2022. They then move on to the subscription services and AR/VR glasses that were announced at NIO Day and how it could enhance NIO's future offerings.They move onto CATL's dominance in the battery cell manufacturing sector and how its competitors could create opportunities for themselves to compete with CATL in the future. Finally, Lei & Tu talk about how Huawei has moved even closer to building their own EVs with the AITO M5 being built by Seres and close out the pod talking Haomo, the latest Chinese AV startup unicorn that was spun-off of Great Wall Motor and still has a very close relationship with. 

Le pregunta es sencilla: ¿Son buenos los coches "made in China"? Pero la respuesta no es tan sencilla como parece. De momento China es el mayor fabricante de coches del Mundo. Veamos qué nos ofrecen y qué nos van a ofrecer los chinos. Como es norma en Garaje Hermético no os vamos a dar solo una respuesta, os vamos a dar argumentos. Por qué, ¿conocéis la industria china del automóvil? Volvamos a los coches chinos. China tiene recursos prácticamente infinitos: Una enorme población o lo que es lo mismo, un mercado gigantesco, con más de 50 millones de millonarios; mucho dinero, y cuando digo mucho es mucho, tanto como para ser el mayor prestamista de los Estados Unidos, con casi un billón y medio, billón con B en bonos de deuda de ese país. Y mucha determinación. Ha implantado brutales aranceles a la importación, fuertes limites a la entrada de industria extranjera y, de cara a su mercado interior, mira para otro lado en el caso de imitaciones, aunque sean "torticeras" y, literalmente, por la cara. La consecuencia de todo ello es que en 2009 China se convirtió en el primer fabricante mundial. Y comenzó a pensar como un gigante. Tradicionalmente las mercancías chinas se vendían muy bien por tres razones: Precio, precio y precio. En el caso de los coches y las motos era así. Así que pensaron ¿Qué les falta a nuestros productos”. La respuesta: Tecnología, calidad, diseño e imagen. China ha permitido que fabricantes extranjeros construyan en China pero siempre formando JV, empresas nuevas que son una Joint Venture con el gobierno chino, con lo cual de alguna manera están construyendo su propia industria. Una marca extranjera no puede instalarse en territorio chino si no llega a un acuerdo con el gobierno. Aranceles excesivos, garantías sociales para los trabajadores inaceptables en otros países, necesidad de hacerse socios del gobierno para empresas extranjeras que quieran implantarse en China, un régimen que cada vez es menos comunista y más consumista, un gobierno que tiene atributos impensables en países democráticos. ¿Quiero decir con esto que los chinos, por decirlo en lenguaje coloquial, “juegan sucio”? Sí, es justamente lo que quiero decir. Siento si no soy políticamente correcto. ¿Y qué marcas hay en China? Vamos a hacer un repaso de las marcas más importantes: BYD. Brilliance. Chery Automotive. First Automotive. Geely Holding Group. Great Wall Motor. JiangLing Landwind. Luxgen. MG. Qoros. ZD. Hay más, muchísimas más, pero solo quería daros una pincelada. Hoy por hoy la única barrera que tienen los productos chinos para entrar en mercados más maduros es estrictamente legal: hay que superar unas pruebas de homologación, emisiones, de seguridad activa y pasiva, etc. En eso, de momento, están todavía lejos de los mejores. Bueno, y además de barreras legales, también ponemos aranceles, aunque muy lejos de los aranceles que pone China a los coches extranjeros. Hoy por hoy, la industria China es una industria joven con un nivel de tecnología y calidad muy lejos de las marcas líderes mundiales. En mi opinión, en general, los coches chinos no son tan buenos como los japoneses, europeos o incluso que los norteamericanos… pero os aseguro que lo serán. Pero de momento creo que no son una buena compra. Coche del día_ Austin Victoria, en Sudáfrica Austin Apache. Hay quien lo confunde con el Triumph Dolomite.

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.   VOLKSWAGEN GROUP NOW MAKING EVS IN FIVE LOCATIONS" Volkswagen Group's manufacturing capabilities of MEB-based electric cars expanded significantly and, including the small Transparent Factory in Dresden, there are now five sites globally." says InsideEVs: "The total combined maximum production capacity of those plants is more than 900,000, but it will take quite some time to reach such a level. Zwickau, Germany - up to 330,000, six models. Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany. Mladá Boleslav, Czechia. FAW-Volkswagen plant in Foshan, China - up to 300,000. SAIC Volkswagen plant in Anting, China - up to 300,000. In Zwickau, Volkswagen produces around 800 all-electric ID.3 and ID.4 cars per day. When new models join the line, the rate will be up to 1,500 vehicles per day or 330,000 vehicles per year at its peak. In 2022, three new plants will also start production of MEB-based cars: Emden and Hanover plants in Germany and Chattanooga in the U.S."   https://insideevs.com/news/483167/volkswagen-group-five-plants-meb-based-evs/   GOOGLE USES AI TO PLOT FASTEST, MOST EFFICIENT EV ROAD TRIPS "In a blog post this week, Google says it has devised a new Maps feature that uses “graph theory” to sort through all the permutations and give drivers accurate information about how to drive and charge along the way.  There are so many factors to consider — the state of charge of your battery when you begin, how far your car can drive given weather, traffic, and elevation changes, and the availability of chargers along your route are all important considerations." says Steve at CleanTechnica: "at the present time the only two cars with Android Automotive baked in are the Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40 Recharge, although more models are on the way."   Google said in a blog post: "“Today, we present a new approach for routing of EVs integrated into the latest release of Google Maps built into your car for participating EVs that reduces range anxiety by integrating recharging stations into the navigational route,“Now when you enter a destination that requires two or more recharge stops, algorithms in Maps will search and filter through tens to thousands of public charging stations to find the most efficient route — all in less than 10 seconds. You can see how long each charge will take and your updated total trip time, so your final ETA will never again be a mystery, Based on the battery level and the destination, Maps will recommend the charging stops and the corresponding charging levels that will minimize the total duration of the trip. To accomplish this we engineered a highly scalable solution for recommending efficient routes through charging stations, which optimizes the sum of the driving time and the charging time together.”"   https://cleantechnica.com/2021/01/31/google-uses-ai-to-plot-fastest-most-efficient-ev-road-trips/   CHINESE BATTERY PRODUCERS PLUG INTO SOARING GERMAN EV SALES "Two Chinese makers of electric vehicle batteries are set to break ground this year on $3.2 billion worth of production facilities in Germany to serve Europe's expanding market for new-energy cars, following in the footsteps of industry leader Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd." reports Nikkei Asia: "SVOLT Energy Technology, a spinoff from Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor, plans to break ground on two factories, at a combined cost of about 2 billion euros ($2.42 billion), in the western state of Saarland by year-end. Farasis Energy (Ganzhou), which sold a 3% stake last year to automotive group Daimler in a deal valued at 900 million yuan ($138.8 million), aims to start construction of a 600 million euro factory in the eastern town of Bitterfeld by the end of March. SVOLT aims to churn out 24 gigawatt-hours worth of auto batteries a year in Germany, a quarter of its global target, while Farasis aims to put out 6 GWh from Bitterfeld by next year on the way to full output of 10 GWh. CATL has said its German plant will be able to produce 14 GWh of batteries."   President of SVOLT Europe: "Before we settled on Saarland, we scouted more than 30 locations, including in Eastern Europe, and we found that only in Germany would we be able to quickly recruit enough talent and source electricity in a way that our clients' climate targets can be met"   https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Chinese-battery-producers-plug-into-soaring-German-EV-sales   TESLA'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET: ITS NET PROFIT DOESN'T COME FROM SELLING CARS "Tesla posted its first full year of net income in 2020 -- but not because of sales to its customers. Eleven states require automakers sell ascertain percentage of zero-emissions vehicles by 2025. If they can't, the automakers have to buy regulatory credits from another automaker that meets those requirements -- such as Tesla, which exclusively sells electric cars." according to CNN: "It's a lucrative business for Tesla -- bringing in $3.3 billion over the course of the last five years, nearly half of that in 2020 alone. The $1.6 billion in regulatory credits it received last year far outweighed Tesla's net income of $721 million -- meaning Tesla would have otherwise posted a net loss in 2020."   https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/31/investing/tesla-profitability/index.html   TESLA OFFERING DISCOUNT TO CUSTOMERS WITH EXISTING ORDERS FOR MODEL S AND MODEL X   "After years of waiting Tesla finally announced a design refresh to the Model S and Model X earlier this week. Along with the drastically redesigned interior, Tesla also increased the prices of all variants of its flagship vehicles." says DriveTeslaCanada: "That increase left customers with existing orders placed before the increase suddenly facing having to pay about $10,000 USD more than originally planned. Those customers are now learning Tesla is softening the blow just a bit, by offering a $2,000 discount on existing orders."   Twttier user @raffaeri: “My boss ordered a Model X a few weeks ago. He got a call from Tesla today. For 2000€ more he can have the Refreshed Model X but... it won't be available until September. The order page said March 2021! So Tesla can not deliver Model S/X in Europe until September!"   https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-s/tesla-offering-discount-to-customers-with-existing-orders-for-model-s-and-model-x/   TESLA MODEL S AND MODEL X REFRESH GAMING, INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM GPU DETAILS LEAKED "A renowned tech leaker has shared what could very well be a block diagram depicting some details of the Model S and Model X refresh’s in-car gaming system/infotainment system GPU. Based on the information presented in the leak, it appears that Tesla’s in-car gaming system would indeed be on par with some of the market’s most popular consoles. " reports TEslarati: "ccording to the leaked block diagram, Tesla will reportedly be using an AMD Navi 23 GPU for its onboard infotainment system, which would be equipped with 16Gb (2GB) Samsung GDDR6 memory chips (K4ZAF325XM). Considering that there are four modules depicted in the leaked diagram, it appears that Tesla’s infotainment system will have 8GB of memory in total. Tesla’s official webpages for the Model S and Model X refresh note that the vehicles’ in-car gaming system offers up to 10 teraflops of processing power, which is comparable to those offered by dedicated gaming consoles like the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X."   Storage?   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-new-infotainment-gaming-gpu-specs-leak/   ALL TESLA VEHICLES NOW HAVE EFFICIENCY-BOOSTING HEAT PUMP And a story from InsideEVs on the Model S/X Heat Pump: "People were so entertained with the steering yoke on the refreshed Model S and Model X that they probably did not know both cars now also present a heat pump. First offered in the Tesla Model Y, this component aims to offer higher energy efficiency in electric vehicles during the winter. The 2021 Tesla Model 3 already presents one, making the entire Tesla lineup for offering it."   https://insideevs.com/news/482829/all-tesla-vehicles-heat-pump/   BMW CONSIDERS MOVING UP I4 PRODUCTION "According to a media report, BMW brings forward the production start of the all-electric i4 from the year’s end to August or September. This means BMW could roll-out the first cars in Germany in 2021. In China, meanwhile, BMW has significantly reduced the price of its iX3 electric SUV." says electrive; "The i4, as is well known, is being built in Munich. Preparations for the production of the all-electric Gran Coupé started last summer. For six weeks, vehicle production was suspended during the Bavarian summer holidays to retool the existing production facilities so that in future the BMW 3 Series Sedan, the BMW 3 Series Touring, both with combustion engines and hybrid drive, the BMW M3 and the all-electric BMW i4 can be manufactured on the same line. As the German Handelsblatt now reports about group circles, the start of production of the i4 is to be brought forward to August or September."   They also reported news of the iX3 in Germany: "The Munich-based company activated the online configurator for the iX3 last month in their native Germany and published the associated price and equipment list. The starting price is slightly lower than originally announced, namely 66,300 euros for the Inspiring variant. The higher equipment variant Impressive is listed from 71,800 euros. The German environmental bonus of 7,500 euros can still be deducted from the official prices. The first cars will be delivered at the end of January."     NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK Have you seen the social media meme of putting two photo’s side by side and titling them ‘how to started’ and ‘how it’s going’.

Buongiorno Ninja, ecco le notizie di oggi selezionate per te... Contro il Black Friday. Nel giorno del Black Friday, appuntamento internazionale dedicato alle vendite promozionali, gruppi di manifestanti hanno bloccato un magazzino di Amazon alla periferia di Lione, in Francia, mentre altri si sono riuniti in sit-in di fronte al quartier generale del gigante americano, vicino Parigi. Nel mirino delle proteste l'evento, considerato occasione di consumo eccessivo, con pesanti ricadute sull'ambiente. Iniziative analoghe si sono registrate anche in 6 centri di distribuzione in Germania (Lipsia, Bad Hersfeld, Coblenza, Rheinberg, Werne e Graben). Alla fine, secondo i numeri di Adobe, le vendite tramite Internet per il Black Friday sono arrivate a 7,4 miliardi di dollari (aumentate di 1,2 miliardi rispetto al Black Friday 2018). Le vendite online nel solo Giorno del Ringraziamento, secondo invece i dati di Salesforce, hanno toccato i 7,2 miliardi di dollari. Un totale di 2,9 miliardi di dollari di vendite sono avvenute su smartphone. Account bloccato. Il social cinese TikTok si è scusato dopo aver bannato l'account dell'adolescente che aveva creato un video tutorial sul make-up (invitando in realtà gli spettatori a indagare sulla situazione dei musulmani Uiguri in Cina). La clip era diventata virale in pochissimo tempo. Acquisti illegali. Quasi 1 consumatore su 3 acquista prodotti contraffatti, una tendenza in crescita che in Italia genera perdite per oltre 30 miliardi. É quanto emerge da un'indagine di Confcommercio sulla Legalità presentata a Roma. Secondo la ricerca, è sul web che passa gran parte degli acquisti illegali: dalla musica ai servizi turistici, come alloggi, ristorazione e trasporti abusivi. In Cina la MINI elettrica. La casa automobilistica tedesca BMW e la cinese Great Wall Motor investiranno quasi 650 milioni di euro (715 milioni di dollari) in una nuova fabbrica che produrrà soprattutto Mini elettriche. La costruzione dello stabilimento a Zhangjiagang, nella provincia di Jiangsu, darà lavoro a 3 mila persone e avrà una capacità di 160 mila unità l'anno entro il 2022, ha riferito sempre BMW.Da Alessio Galea è tutto, per approfondimenti Ninja.it

Now to begin the program let’s have the news. Originally broadcast 14 July 2018.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Thursday 12th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   MINI ELECTRIC LOOKS ALMOST READY Let's talk about the BMW Mini! I had a petrol one for a year in 2008, black, petrol bags of fun even not the Cooper variant. Around that time before I was interested in EVs there was the original Mini E, it was a pilot program and is now discontinued. I'd have another Mini tomorrow as they're great for British roads, small enough to park and big enough for long journeys. So fast forward 10 years and I'm excited about the Mini EV. Carscoops says: "Our sneaky shutterbugs have caught the prototype (both inside and out) undergoing testing out in the wild. The prototype was also spied plugged in to the mains in a dedicated EV charging/parking spot. And the grille is all covered up, suggesting that there’s no internal-combustion engine inside. So unlike the Countryman PHEV, this prototype clearly isn’t a hybrid." Carscoops has 14 pics of the mini in yellow swirly camoflouage and I'll put a link in the show notes so you can see, but they do have just one of the inside. The dash has black cloth covering it, another sign they're getting close. There are three extra screens of test equipment, one that looks like a computer monitor on a large box on the passenger seat with two smaller screens about the size of an iPad mini stuck to the dash. In the footwells of the passenger side are a mass of wires. And how about this, you know on a bus or coach or train, you see those metal hammers often behind glass, with a sign which says "in case of emergency, break glass and smash window to escape"? I can just see one of those taped to the drivers door next to the handle...so are the windows either locked up or are the electric windows disabled? Either way I think it's a sign they're getting closer to production.   Meanwhile, India Times reports: "BMW Group and the biggest Chinese SUV brand, Great Wall Motor, announced a partnership Tuesday to produce electric MINI vehicles in China as global automakers ramp up development under pressure from Beijing."   Auto brands in China are required to make electric vehicles at least 10 percent of their sales starting next year or buy credits from competitors that exceed their quotas. Later, they face pressure to raise those sales in order to satisfy fuel efficiency requirements that increase annually.   The last I heard, Western markets will have the Mini EV made here in the UK in Oxford but given the disastrous process of Brexit and trying to untangle British manufacturing from a tariff free customs union, we're really worried that car markers will find it both easier and cheaper to move production to the European Union. Leaving the EU is currently looking very bad for the auto industry in particular.   https://www.carscoops.com/2018/07/mini-electric-looks-almost-ready-plug-ev-market/#lg=1&slide=13     TESLA Q2 VOLUMES ALMOST EQUAL TO JAGUAR The market intelligence company AID has been tracking Tesla sales vs Jaguar: "Tesla is already snapping at the heels of Jaguar. The question now is, as AIDs segment observers have put it most topically, based on Teslas latest sales surge it is not if Tesla will outsell Jaguar on the global prestige sector sales scene, but how soon?" They say:" Figures compiled by AID every month reveal that this second quarter, thanks in large measure to the long-expected but belated sales bounce from Teslas all-new Model 3 in its domestic US backyard, worldwide sales of Tesla skyrocketed to 40,740 units, according to Tesla. In a world were almost everything is relative, that directly compares to the only slightly higher 44,124 worldwide Jaguar sales during the same second quarter." So as I saw on Kyle Field from Clean Technica say today on Twitter, lazy headline writers might have to stop using the phrase Tesla Killer, maybe they need to start calling Elon Musk #JaguarKiller The thing I would like to add is the unknown of the I-PACE sales which Q3 will include.   http://www.eagleaid.com/AID-Newsletter-preorder-1813preview-d-Tesla-already-hot-on-Jaguars-heels.htm   MUSK GOES TO CHINA, BUT IT IS TOO LATE FOR TESLA I know I'm a simpleton who thinks out loud on a wildly unpopular podcast, but I do get confused. Jim Collins at Forbes seems to think Tesla has missed the boat to sell cars in China. Jim says "It Is Too Late For Tesla To Ride The Chinese EV Boom". Let see what Jim says in this Forbes article: "Tesla's huge head start in the Western markets for high-end BEVs simply does not exist in China. As evidenced by the rash of senior executive departures in recent months, Elon Musk seems to like to do things on his own. But the Chinese market, which has flourished through so many East-West partnerships, is a very different animal, and Tesla simply does not have the capital to compete there." He seems to conclude that because they're dominant in the U.S. they should be dominant in China. I don't think I've ever heard Elon or Tesla say that. Just that they need to build a Gigafactory on every continent in order to make the kind of cars, at the kind of prices, which local people desire and can afford. It's weird, the headline bears little relevance to the article. Has Tesla missed the boat as they say? New Energy Vehicle sales are on target to double, it's a market in massive growth. Unlike in the U.S. where they literally had to CREATE a market for cars, there's an exploding one in China, so that head start which apparently they can't be successful without contradicts the facts that when Tesla launch there wasn't even a race. Let alone a head start. How is it "too late" for Tesla?   https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimcollins/2018/07/11/mr-musk-goes-to-china-but-it-is-far-too-late-for-tesla-to-ride-the-chinese-ev-boom/#4fdbaab57a01   ELECTRIC CARS ARE THE FUTURE. HERE'S WHY YOU SHOULD BE AN EARLY ADOPTER Huffington Post say you should be an early adopter, and not just of cars. But of electric bikes too. "Another reason to get on the EV hype early? The chance to try a whole other way of transport. Step up: electric motorbikes. Richard Jordan, director of Super Soco, supplies 22 motorcycle dealers with his brand, which has been dubbed the ’Tesla of motorbikes.′ “Our bikes are legally the same as a 50cc motorbike, so they’re light, nimble and nippy through traffic – the ideal commuting machine. Cost per mile is tiny – around 1p – so commuting into London costs under 10p, compared with a travelcard cost of around £7 per day [based on a weekly card]. The battery is removable, so can be charged from the wall at work, or at home.”   https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/electric-cars-are-the-future-heres-why-you-should-be-an-early-adopter_uk_5b337308e4b0cb56051dca58   TESLA HAS 100 MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE CARS FOR TEST DRIVES Elon Musk has tweeted about the Model 3s available for test drives: "Should be very soon. We’ve already made around 100 Model 3 Performance cars for test drives in stores." On last week’s edition of Ride The Lightning with Ryan McCaffrey he was speculating if they would rather you took a base model or Performance model for a test, which would be best for customers, so he tweeted Elon and that was the response. Looks like they've gone down the avenue of letting people rive the P3D and hoping, if they’d planned on a base model, to up sell them. That makes sense, basic business practice is to try and add value to a customer for a price. All that Anti-selling looks over, remember when Elon would tweet Model 3 reservation holders and say they should be buying a Model S?! By the way I've been playing too much with the configurator now it's opened up to everyone - i'm thinking white multi-coat paint with white interior is mine.   TESLA REGISTERS MORE THAN 6,000 NEW MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR AWD VINS Simon Alvarez at Teslarati, who incidentally got a retweet from Elon recently, has been tracking VIN numbers too by keeping an eye on the Twitter use @Model3VINs: "Tesla has registered a large batch of 6,032 new Model 3 VINs recently, with almost all of them corresponding to the Dual Motor AWD variant of the compact electric car. The new vehicle identification filings come at a time when Tesla is actively pushing its deliveries for the Model 3. This recent filing stands as yet another sign that Tesla is well on its way to sustaining its production rate of 5,000 Model 3 per week this third quarter"   TESLA PICKUP TIMES ARE THE BOTTLENECK With so many people to get a Model 3 out to, Fred at Electrek has obtained an email to customers where Tesla are moving from making handover a one-hour hoopla, where your car is uncovered from a silk cloth draped over it, to a 5 minute quickie. The email says: "Learn about your Model 3: You’ll be driving home in as little as 5 minutes from your arrival, so please review the following resources below before your appointment until you are confident and ready to drive off:   Watch Model 3 Tutorial Videos Review Model 3 Owner’s Manual Visit your local Tesla Showroom for any additional questions Sign & Drive Pickup Appointment Check In Paperwork Signing 5 minute Vehicle Handoff in which we will show you the essentials to enjoy your drive home: Charging Bundle Key Access Vehicle Start/Stop Park/Reverse/Neutral/Drive   Tesla has produced 9 short videos to show different features of the Model 3 in preparation for this program." This was inevitable in some way you can't spend an hour making a song & dance over every buyers. Not when you have 5,000 cars to hand over, and 5,000 next week, and 5,000 the week after! You get my drift. I imagine the Model S and Model X buyers still get a more premium treatment.   COMMUNITY   You can listen to all previous 177 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and 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.
