Buzz to the US market for model year 2027 after skipping 2026, with four trims including a new Tourer 4Motion camping variant featuring a fold-out mattress, Overnight Mode, and factory-built sleeping setup. The 2027 model also adds true one-pedal driving and updated ID.S 6 software with a larger App Store including YouTube and Spotify.TESLA TESTS VIRTUAL SUPERCHARGER QUEUETesla has launched a virtual queue pilot at five Supercharger stations, allowing drivers to join a waitlist via the Tesla app instead of forming a physical line, a feature that arrived a year later than promised. The system is voluntary with no enforcement, and has been opened to non-Tesla EVs — significant given roughly 70% of Supercharger stalls now accept third-party vehicles.FORD URGES BROADER ELECTRIFICATION PITCHFord's European boss Jim Baumbick argued at the FT's Future of the Car summit that the industry must sell EVs on personal benefit rather than CO2 reduction, and that PHEVs and range-extender hybrids should be accepted alongside pure BEVs as valid routes to net zero. He highlighted a stark policy contrast: Sweden's PHEV charging tax incentive results in 70% of drivers plugging in regularly, while the UK's lack of equivalent incentive sees that figure drop to just 10–20%.CANADA ZEV SALES JUMP AS MARKET SHRINKSCanadian EV adoption nearly doubled from 6.5% to 12.2% of total vehicle sales in March 2026, with battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles combining for 21,574 units even as the broader new-vehicle market fell 6.6% year-over-year. Ottawa's reinstated CA$5,000 purchase incentive in February and competitive pricing — with some models starting from CA$30,000 — were key drivers of the surge.POLESTAR EXPANDS UPDATED 3 AND 4 ORDERSPolestar has opened orders for updated versions of the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 across Canada, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, with the headline change being the Polestar 3's upgrade to an 800V architecture enabling 350 kW DC charging and a 22-minute 10–80% charge time. The Polestar 3 also gains a major compute upgrade from Nvidia DRIVE AGX Xavier to Orin — lifting processing power from 30 to 254 TOPS — with existing owners receiving the chip upgrade at no cost.MAN ADDS 16-TONNE ETGM TO ELECTRIC RANGEMAN Truck & Bus has unveiled the eTGM, a 16-tonne battery-electric truck for urban and regional distribution, debuting at Transpotec Logitec 2026 in Milan and completing a fully electric range from 12 to 50 tonnes. It offers up to 320 kWh of usable battery capacity, a 480 km maximum range, and a mechanical power take-off (mPTO) that MAN says is rare in the segment and reduces bodybuilder conversion costs.CALIFORNIA LAUNCHES $250 MILLION ELECTRIC TRUCK REBATECalifornia Governor Gavin Newsom has launched the California Clean Fuel Reward, a $250 million rebate programme for electric medium- and heavy-duty trucks funded by Low Carbon Fuel Standard revenue, with rebates ranging from $7,500 to $120,000. The state expects over $1 billion in total rebates through 2030, making it the largest utility-administered electric truck rebate programme in the US.BAGLINO LAUNCHES SECOND STARTUP IN HEAT PUMPSDrew Baglino, former Tesla SVP who left in April 2024, has launched Sadi Thermal Machines, a heat pump startup incorporated in June 2025 and co-located with his first venture, Heron Power, in Scotts Valley, California. Baglino is well-positioned for the role, having been a named inventor on Tesla's thermal management patent that underpinned the octovalve system debuted in the Model Y.CATERHAM PROJECT V HITS TEST TRACKCaterham has released new test track footage of its Project V electric sports car running under its own power, performing high-speed charging and braking manoeuvres. The car targets 268bhp, a 1,430kg kerb weight, a sub-5.0-second 0–62mph time, a 249-mile range, and a 20-minute 20–80% charge time.

FOLLOW UP: CUSTOMERS ARE NOT GETTING MG3 SEAT FIXEuroNCAP has called on customers with MG3s to get the free fix to their seats, following the failure under testing in September 2025. A front crash test exposed the issue with one side of the driver's seat moving forward 111.5mm, mid impact. MG has an approved solution. For more on this story, click this Carscoops article link here.JLR FINANCIAL RESULTSJLR posted a loss of £244 million, for the last financial year. The company was impacted by the cyber attack, tariffs, a dwindling Chinese market for Western cars and the transition of Jaguar. The company has also stated that it will be seeking to cut around £1.7 million in costs over the next two years. You can read more by clicking this Autocar article link here.JAGUAR NAME THEIR FIRST NEW CAR OF REBRANDJaguar has named the electric GT due to be launched this year, the Type 01. Apparently, this ties into their heritage, for example the D-Type and E-Type. If you wish to read more, including the incredibly incisive comment from Hyfrith, click this Autocar article link here.ASTON MARTIN SOUGHT MORE NEW FINANCINGAston Martin had to seek more emergency funding, just two weeks ago, as it received £50 million from the consortium led by Lawrence Stroll. This is the eighth time they have had to do so, since the company launched it's IPO in 2018. Click this Carscoops article link here for more.STELLANTIS AND DONGFENG SIGN CHINA DEALStellantis has signed a deal with Dongfeng to build two new Peugeot and two new Jeep vehicles in China, for the local market as well as export. This is the first step on the company's new strategy of building partnerships in markets to help expand globally. For more on this, click the Autocar article link here.XPENG IN TALKS WITH VW OVER BUYING EUROPEAN FACTORYXpeng is the latest Chinese brand to seek to buy a European factory from a local market manufacturer, this time via Volkswagen. The two companies already work with each other, as VW is using Xpeng's software-defined platform for their Chinese market vehicles. To read more about this story, click this EV Powered article link here.RULES BENT FOR SOME EV VANSThe Government has changed rules for EV vans plated to 4.25 tonnes, which aligns the requirements for running them to those of a 3.5 tonne vehicle. This removes the need for a yearly MOT, the use of tachographs by drivers and more. You can find out more, by clicking this Professional Van article link here.AUDI USE UNIQUE IDENTIFIER FOR APP THAT ALL CAN SEEThe myAudi app and service has been found to be using the VIN of cars as the unique identifier for authorisation purposes. This means anyone who can read the VIN, which is displayed for all to see, can gain access to that vehicle via the app and mobile service. There are more issues as well, but CARIAD has addressed some of them. However, they have not acknowledged the work of the researcher or paid them a bounty which is unacceptable behaviour from a company like the Volkswagen Group.

One you will be able to buy, whilst the other is a cool concept. Apologies for Andrew murdering the pronunciation of Plein Sud, but ignoring that it is essentially a full length canvas sunroof harking back to the time when manufacturers made such things. Looks great and will add some fun to the ownership. Click this Motoring Research article link here for more.The JP4x4 concept is a sort of beach buggy pick-up mashup. Looks fun and cool and it is great to see a brand experimenting like this, especially considering the market conditions at this time.

He talks at about the challenges that Stellantis have and how he hopes to help shape their future. We have, particularly in the last few weeks, discussed the company and how it can drag itself out of the mire it is in, therefore we thought it would be interesting for you to read what one of the most important people they have think they can.

It has to be seen to be believed. Click this link here from The Autopian for more.

Volkswagen of America released its sales figures for Q1 2026 and the results were mixed. Last week the automaker announced that it was going to stop assembling the ID.4 electric SUV in Chattanooga, Tennessee and retool to focus on the next-generation Atlas for model year 2027. Well, now, it's pretty clear why. Top manufacturing news: Slate Auto Raises $650M to Make $25,000 TrucksPodcast: Car Paint Gets Security Detail; Tyson Loses Bacteria Case; Stronger Ban on Chinese CarsBuyers Fret as Average New Car Cost Nears $50,000Wind Turbine Maker Sued After Catastrophic Collapse, Terminated Contracts According to VW's sales figures, the company sold 7,663 ID.4s in Q1 2025. Last quarter told a different tale, with a mere 338 ID.4s sold—a drop of 95.6%. Across the board, sales dipped 16.1% year-over-year, but there were some wins. The Tiguan LWB saw an increase of 55.2% and the Golf R sedan increased 4.7%, though the volumes were so low it was just a 36-unit increase. #Volkswagen #EVNews #ElectricVehicles #AutoIndustry #CarSales #ManufacturingNews #EVMarket #AutomotiveTrends #ID4 #IDBuzz #Atlas #CarMarket #AutoSales #IndustryNews #FutureOfCars #EVTransition #BusinessNews #SupplyChain #AutoIndustryNews #MarketTrends

Jill and Tom open the show addressing two high-profile electric vehicle cancellations announced this past week. First the hosts discuss the end of production for the Ford F-150 Lighting, which came as something of a surprise to both Jill and Tom. Also covered is news that Volkswagen will not be importing a 2026 edition of the spunky ID. Buzz electric minivan. Will the ID. Buzz be back for 2027? Jill and Tom speculate. Still in the first segment, Jill reviews the Ford Maverick Lobo. Lobo is a new sporty Maverick variant, and it sounds like fun. Listen in for Jill's take on the potentially entertaining-to-drive small pickup truck. In the second segment, the Hosts welcome Rob Howard, CEO of Kindred Motorworks to the podcast. Kindred restores classic cars, some of which become battery powered in the process. Rob talks about the restoration process, and the level of engineering that is invested in each new model the company adds to its lineup. Listen in for details. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “Is it a Mercury?” quiz.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1040: Today we're diving into a transatlantic tariff feud shaking up the luxury auto sector, a multistate lawsuit over EV charging funds, and why VW's nostalgic ID. Buzz just got benched. A new U.S.–U.K. trade deal that dramatically lowers tariffs on British auto exports is saving jobs at Jaguar Land Rover—but not without blowback. American automakers say the agreement favors British imports over North American-made vehicles, threatening jobs and supply chains at home.British auto exports to the U.S. will now face a 10% tariff—down from 27.5%—for up to 100,000 vehicles annually.Jaguar Land Rover, with 32% of its global sales in the U.S., has resumed exports and praised the deal for bringing certainty to the sector.The American Automotive Policy Council, representing GM, Ford, and Stellantis, condemned the deal, saying it undercuts USMCA-compliant vehicles made in Mexico or Canada.“This hurts American automakers, suppliers, and auto workers,” the Council said, warning the U.K. terms could set a damaging precedent for future trade deals.U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer defended the deal at a JLR plant, calling the tariff cut “hugely important to me,” while JLR CEO Adrian Mardell “warmly welcomed” the agreement.California and 16 other states are taking the Trump administration to court aiming to reinstate $5 billion intended for EV charger expansion across the U.S. The states say the funding is critical for innovation, climate goals, and job growth.The lawsuit challenges the Trump administration's February directive to halt $5 billion in EV charger construction authorized by the 2021 Infrastructure Act.States argue the move undermines efforts to reduce emissions and meet rising demand for clean transportation.California Governor Gavin Newsom slammed the decision as “another Trump gift to China,” saying it kills U.S. jobs and innovation.Volkswagen's nostalgia-fueled ID.

Kelly and Lizz are back from the Kentucky Derby with plenty of stories to tell, but first they're taking time to once again show love to a couple of their favorite snacks - Clean Simple Eats energy drinks and Built Puff bars. Aren't you glad we live in a time when they are available?  But back to the big story, a trip to the Derby to check out the 2025 Ford Expedition. The trip started with a four-hour drive filled with games and no music... unless you could the diss tracks Kelly and Lizz wrote. Yes, you read that right, they wrote diss tracks for the Carnival vs. the Odyssey. Could this be what finally gets the Car Mom to go super viral?  Once they got to Kentucky, the ladies were set up in some sweet digs with a lot of celebrities. Did they run into any of them? Well, they did make friends with a certain influencer during dinner...  Before the big event, was The Oaks race where the ladies got to try their hand at horse track betting and quickly realized that betting against each other was just as fun. Then they finally got to get into the 2025 Expedition and learned that Ford can be brilliantly petty. What did they think? Kelly and Lizz will break it all down.  After the Kentucky Derby, it was back to reality and cleaning out the fridge and pantry while getting ready for summer. But of course they can't end the podcast without talking about the ID Buzz recall. What does it mean for the future of the car?  Today's episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠Clean Simple Eats⁠⁠.

The VW Bus, in its many forms, has become one of the most recognizable vehicles in the company's history. Sure, it might be second to the VW Beetle, but even that might be a close race. While the bus has been out of production for decades for use in the U.S. market, the folks at VW showed off a battery-electric concept in 2016 dubbed BUDD-e. Of course, wiser heads prevailed, and the concept van was updated and given a new name in 2017: ID. Buzz. Of course, it would be a while before the ID. Buzz hit U.S. shores, but a successor to the VW Bus is finally showing up on U.S. streets. The '25 VW ID. Buzz rides on the brand's MEB platform and packs a 91-kWh battery pack under its floor. That battery feeds a 282 hp rear motor or a 335 hp dual-motor powertrain.On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek's Mark Vaughn hops behind the wheel of the 2025 VW ID Buzz and puts it through its paces. Vaughn takes you on a guided tour of the ID. Buzz to highlight some of his favorite features. Later, Vaughn takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Vaughn chats with host Wesley Wren about the '25 ID. Buzz, minivans as a whole, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 VW ID. Buzz special.

The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz is the most buzzworthy vehicle to hit American highways this decade. Combining the exterior style of the classic Microbus with the chassis of a thoroughly modern electric vehicle, the ID.Buzz is a crowd-pleaser that stops traffic, as Host Jack Nerad discovered during his two weeks with the vehicle. Its exterior design features LED lighting, retro-inspired wheels, and optional two-tone paint that pays homage to its iconic predecessor. But the drivetrain is anything but retro. The ID.Buzz is powered by a 91-kWh battery and offers two drivetrain configurations: rear-wheel-drive with 282 horsepower and an EPA-estimated range of 234 miles and 4Motion all-wheel-drive with 335 horsepower and a range of 231 miles. Charging is efficient, with DC fast charging replenishing 10-80% in just 26 minutes. Inside, the ID. Buzz boasts a spacious and customizable interior, offering up to 145.5 cubic feet of cargo space, flexible seating, and advanced technology, including a 12.9-inch infotainment display, IQ.Drive driver assistance, and wireless charging. It's a stark contrast to Nerad's 1968 Type 2 “Early Bay” Bus, powered by a 57-horsepower 1600cc engine that delivered a 0-60 mph time of 37 seconds and a top speed of 65 mph. But is the ID.Buzz as good a value as that long-gone college-era VW? Nerad will have the answer. In our other road test this week, Co-Host Chris Teague will have the answer on the all-new 2025 Ford Ranger. A finalist for North American Truck of the Year, the Ranger boasts a new engine that makes it much more competitive versus rivals that include the Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Frontier, and the Toyota Tacoma. Teague is a Toyota fan, but does he see the Ranger as the better midsize truck? He'll give his verdict in this episode. Driving News Our look at Driving News this week features a headline-grabbing development that could reshape the industry. Nissan and Honda, two global giants with big U.S. footprints, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a potential integration. If it goes forward, this partnership could see the companies combining their efforts in electrification, platform sharing, and advanced vehicle intelligence. With plans for a joint holding company by 2026, this is a story with far-reaching implications for drivers everywhere. In more amusing news, Hyundai has achieved an incredible and largely esoteric feat with its Ioniq 5 electric vehicle, earning a Guinness World Records title for the greatest altitude change ever by an electric car. Over 14 grueling days, the Ioniq 5 covered more than 4,900 kilometers across India, traveling from the Himalayas' highest drivable point to below sea level in Kerala. But what does this record prove? Jack and Chris will offer their opinions. Switching gears to luxury, Jack and Chris will also offer their opinions on the 2025 Genesis G80 3.5T Sport Prestige AWD, a sedan that blends advanced technology, stunning design, and exceptional performance. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V6, the G80 delivers a smooth, refined ride while packing a punch under the hood. Inside, it's all about premium touches, from Nappa leather seating to a cutting-edge OLED instrument cluster. Our two reporters will deliver their verdicts in this show This week's guest is Brian Jannusch, a Nissan GT-R expert with a passion for the legendary sports car. From its iconic engineering to his quest to drive one at the Nurburgring, Brian shares fascinating insights into what makes the GT-R so special. It's a conversation that will resonate with sports car fans and anyone who appreciates automotive excellence. The episode also tackles practical advice with safety tips for 2025 from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As the year begins, it's a good time to revisit basics like seatbelt use, sober driving, and staying alert on the road. Simple steps can make a big difference in preventing accidents and keeping your loved ones safe.

 Jill and Tom opened this week's show hitting briefly on a number of topics, including melting EV charging adapters, Jaguar's perplexing marketing reboot, the electric Dodge Charger Daytona, the high-mileage Ram 1500 HFE, and the consolidation of Infiniti and Nissan dealer stores. Still in the first segment, Jill recapped her time in the all-new Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric minivan. Jill found much to like, but noted that the van comes up short on estimated battery range, and that starting prices are high. In the second segment the hosts welcome Mark Gillies of Volkswagen to expand the ID. Buzz conversation. Mark shared a number of key details, including brand expectations that the van serve as a halo model, and not a high-volume offering. In the last segment Jill is subjected to Tom's “One Minute” quiz, in which she is challenged to answer questions in less than 60 seconds.
