Hello My Curious Colleagues. This week on the @My Curious Colleague Podcast (Ep#84) is my colleague @Carla Baynard. Carla has over 25 years creating strategic customer care solutions for the consumer-packaged goods, food and beverage, non-profit, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Currently, Carla is a Director in Client Services at @Knipper Health. We discuss leadership and the qualities of an effective leader. Among other topics, one of the most important transferable skillsacross industries is Leadership, according to Carla. Carla also shared some fantastic insights on what it takes to be a successful leader using an acronym she created. Are you ready for it? L-L-I-I-F-F-T-T · “L” The first attribute of a great leader is the ability to listen. Listening is crucial to understanding the needs of your team and clients. Learning is the second attribute. It's important for leaders to always seek knowledge and develop new skills. Taking the time to think, make plans, and focus on tasks at hand is also crucial to success. · “I” Next up, we have inspiring your team. A great leader should inspire their team through encouragement and positive role modeling. Leaders also have the power to influence, so it's important to use that power for good and positively impact those around you. · “F” The final two attributes are focus and fulfilling obligations. Leaders should always keep their eyes on the company's objectives and take steps to achieve them. Fulfilling promises and obligations is essential for building trust and credibility with team members and clients alike. · “T” – We teach others and tell them our feedback. Carla's volunteer shout-out goes to the United Way, especially because they “have their tentacles in everything.” www.unitedway.org #leadership #mycuriouscolleague #CPGCX #businesspodcasts

O mercado de carros que não precisam de motoristas está crescendo e chegando às ruas de várias cidades do mundo. Várias empresas já estão em fases avançadas de testes e esse carros já rodam nas ruas de alguns países. Mesmo com o atraso na tecnologia e na legislação, já circulam no Brasil carros importados com diversas funções de assistente de condução. Porém, para chegarmos ao nível de países onde isso já é realidade, será necessário investir muitos recursos em infraestrutura de ruas e estradas para uma boa comunicação com os carros em tempo real. Especialistas desenvolveram uma escala de 5 níveis de autonomia para veículos. - No nível 0, o carro apenas envia alguns alertas para o condutor, mas não interfere na direção. - No nível 1, o carro ajuda a frear e acelerar e tem também a função de piloto automático. - No nível 2, além das funções anteriores, o carro consegue se manter na faixa e até fazer curvas nas estradas, mas o motorista deve assumir o controle periodicamente. - No nível, o 3, o motorista só precisa assumir a direção caso o computador avise. - No nível 4 volantes, pedais e até mesmo o assento do motorista são desnecessários, mas o carro ainda precisa de alguns comandos em certas situações. - O nível 5 representa o máximo de autonomia. Os carros serão capazes de se dirigir sozinhos em qualquer situação sem a necessidade do controle humano, batará apenas indicar o destino. Atualmente, no Brasil, só conseguimos chegar ao nível 2, mas já existem cidades nos Estados Unidos, na Alemanha e na China onde os carros chegam próximo ao nível máximo de autonomia. Será que o carro autônomo vai tornar o trânsito mais seguro? Atualmente, a média mundial de acidentes fatais no trânsito é de uma morte para cada 100 mil quilômetros rodados. A estimativa de cientistas é que, com os carros autônomos essa média caia para 1 morte a cada 10 milhões de quilômetros rodados. Várias empresas do setor vem investindo nessa tecnologia. Uma delas, já bastante avançada, é a Tesla. A Audi tem feito testes de um sistema que estabelece comunicação entre semáforos e seus carros. Chamada de Green Wave, a tecnologia reduz a velocidade e calcula o tempo para que o motorista não fique parado nos cruzamentos. Se a parada for inevitável, o carro sinaliza em contagem regressiva quanto tempo falta até a luz ficar verde novamente. Outra montadora alemã que também está em fase avançada de tecnologia autônoma é a BMW, com seu projeto iNEXT. A expectativa é que a tecnologia faça com que os carros atinjam os níveis 3 e até 4 de condução autônoma. A alta velocidade de transmissão de dados permitirá que os sensores se comuniquem em tempo real não só entre os carros, mas também enviem e recebam informações dos centros de controle de tráfego das cidades. A Volvo desenvolveu uma tecnologia baseada em sensores que emitem milhões de pulsos de luz laser para mapear e detectar com precisão todos os objetos e movimentos em volta do carro. Pode até parecer filme de ficção científica, mas em um futuro cada vez mais próximo você será promovido a passageiro do seu próprio carro.

I moved to Octopus recently and had been putting it off for ages, but I kicked myself for not doing it sooner, as it’s literally a 5 minute job to give them your details. Click here: https://share.octopus.energy/free-puma-452 On today’s podcast: Porsche Taycan Is UK #1 Audi e-tron GT Starts Production Apple Self-Driving EV Back In The News VW's Chinese R&D Centre More V3 Supercharging Stations For China Volkswagen ID 4 1st Max 2021 review Fisker To Enter UK In 2023 BMW iX Cold Weather Testing Show #946 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 9th December. 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. PORSCHE TAYCAN IS UK #1 Porsche sales for the UK were up over 15% compared to the same time last year. And the top model? The all electric Taycan. There is an all electric Macan coming too, and Porsche recently updated their roadmap to be 50% plug in, in 2025. As more EVs top the sales charts it will put pressure on the ICE cars. Globally they're on track to produce over 20,000 this year. Next year we get the Taycan Cross Turismo also. AUDI E-TRON GT STARTS PRODUCTION And whilst we're on the Taycan/e-tron GT, the Audi has now entered production. Made in Germany, it's made alongside teh Audi R8. It's not a sister car to the Taycan more a cousin, both on the J1 platform. Order books open in Spring 2021. This could be slightly cheaper, but if it's less than 100k I'll be surprised. If the Taycan are aiming for 20,000 cars this year, how many can the Audi sell? Interesting the e-tron can regen at 265 kW, 4 wheel teering, and charges at 270kW. SPECS: more than 90 kWh battery over 400 km (248.5 miles) of range (WLTP) dual motor (PMSM) all-wheel drive with torque vectoring system output: 434 kW (590 hp) 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in about 3.5 seconds 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in over 12 seconds top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph) 800 V battery system voltage fast charging: 0-80% in 20-minutes APPLE SELF-DRIVING EV BACK IN THE NEWS A report that seems to track back to Digitimes today has once again raised the prospect of Apples self-driving electric car - the long awaited Project Titan. TSMC has been chosen as the manufacturer of teh self-driving chips. Whether Apple ever build a car is debatable. The last couple of years have pointed towards them developing the hardware and software to sell to other car makers. And another piece of news yesterday said that Project Titan was moving into the AI and machine learning responsibility. Apple recently moved into making their own M1 chip for the new Macbook Air, Macbook Pro 13" and Mac mini, which they say incorporates the latest Machine Learning. The Neural Engine helps learn what you are trying to do with your apps. And if TSMC sounds familiar it's not only because they're one of the worlds large chip makers, but also because Tesla is working with them for Hardware 4. It should be going into mass production from the end of 2021 or Q1 2022. Sounds a lot like Cybertruck timeline. Where is the margin for car companies of the future? It might not be in manufacturing but in licencing the tools for self-driving. What I don't like from this report is that is says the Apple Car is similar to Tesla. That's unclear what it could mean. VW'S CHINESE R&D CENTRE As a demonstration of how important China is to the future of electric mobility, VW has just opened their new R&D centre in Hefei. The newly built facility puts VWs Research and Development, plus testing and quality assurance at the heart of the worlds biggest market for EVs. Much like Elon Musk talking at the Model 3 customer handover event in Shanghai about his desire to have a Chinese design team, this shows how China should be taken seriously as a country which can drive innovation in the EV industry. In a related story VW has increased their stake in the joint venture project JAC Volkswagen and renamed it to the Volkswagen (Anhui) Automotive Company, also assuming management control. In the new year it will see VW invest in the project to make more EVs for the local market with factories and general assembly lines being upgraded. The final annualized capacity will be 350,000 EVs a year. MORE V3 SUPERCHARGING STATIONS FOR CHINA As an update the story last week about Tesla China's largest V3 Supercharging station, it's adding many more, in fact plenty more in the lat 24 hours. That includes 27 newly-built Supercharging stations with 23 sites being the latest V3 technology with a peak charge speed of 250kW. And whilst that's impressive, remember than faster charging is also enabling a greater hourly throughput of vehicles. So whilst we all like to spend less time waiting on a charge, without the throughput Tela would have to build more infrastructure for the same result. The highly dense population areas are those which are embracing Tesla's in China, and the kind of areas where fast charging is essential for those without access to home or workplace charger. By the end of this year Tesla estimates 7,000 charging stalls, 5,000 of those for DCFC and another 2,000 AC destination chargers. Superchagers in China are more likely to be in dense population areas whereas in other countries they're more likely to be out of town on main transport routes. Chinese citizens are more likely to use fast public transport to cover long distances, in a cultural shift to the West. FISKER TO ENTER UK IN 2023 Selling a car in a new market is one thing, providing for service is another. IN the UK Fisker has signed deals with Cox Autmotive and Rivus to provide after-sales service. Rather than building their own network of service centres, they will outsource vehicle delivery, service / maintenance, fleet management, mobile fleet servicing, valuation, trade-in, refurbishment and remarketing. Fisker are going about business in a way which keeps them light on assets. Magna in Austria will build and even co-develop the Ocean SUV. Fisker will have consumer experience centers opening from 2021, they're targeting large global cities. The UK has had more attention recently given our 2030 deadline for banning gasoline and diesel, although there is a clause for PHEV's which go a "significant distance" emission free. EVs require specialist training to work on, and these service providers say they're already equipped. The Ocean SUV goes on sale in the U.S. in 2022 so to come to the UK in 2023 puts us ahead of many. VOLKSWAGEN ID 4 1ST MAX 2021 REVIEW Autocar magazine has taken the VW ID.4 for it's first test drive and review. The ID.4 is the first global ID model whereas the gold-sized ID.3 is not coming to the U.S. ID.4 is made in Germany for now but will be made in Europe, China and Chattanooga USA. Here the first customers get it from February 2021. US customers should have had it before Xmas but I'm hearing of a short delay. The first ID.4;s are RWD but next Summer we get AWD GTX models. They say the car is the size of a Tiguan on the outside but give you the room of a Touareg - it's really a Tardis. Autocar drove the 1st MAX version with 201hp and a 77kWH usable pack. WLTP range is 324 miles and 125kW charging - which you have to pick from the options list. Talking of that options list if it's like the ID.3 it will be extensive. I still can't order one, it's jsut an email signup page. BMW IX COLD WEATHER TESTING One of the rivals of the ID.4 is the BMW iX. And now it has been seen doing winter testing. We're about a year away from the car being on sale and prototype are in Scandinavia testing the cold weather abilities. They're driving beyond the arctic circle to find extreme conditions to test the drive and suspension systems. electric motors, four-wheel drive system as well as charging technology, high-voltage batteries and heat management are put to the demanding acid test under sub-zero temperatures. A reminder the iX using the 5th Gen eDrive technology as found in the BMW iX3 and the forthcoming iNEXT. It's AWD, 500hp and they're aiming for 210Wh / km, with a range of 600km / 373 miles.

We're not sure what that electric vehicle may be, where it will be sold, or even what form factor it will take. One benefit to modern architecture designed to support electrified vehicles is that it's basically a flat platform that can support nearly any type of body on top." says Autoblog: "Ford says interest in the electric F-150, which is scheduled to go on sale in 2022, has been strong enough that it will increase production capacity by 50% from its original plans. That means another 200 permanent jobs on top of 300 jobs previously promised for the electric F-150 line. Ford will invest $100 million and hire 150 workers to build electric versions of its Transit commercial van, scheduled to go on sale in late 2021. The electrified Transit van could prove attractive for companies that specialize in delivery services in heavily populated areas." CNET says: "Ford will release details about its upcoming all-electric E-Transit commercial van later in the week, but before sharing any specifics, it announced on Tuesday where this heavy hauler is going to be built. The E-Transit will roll down the line in the automaker's assembly plant in Kansas City, Missouri, alongside the ever-popular F-150 pickup truck."£ https://www.autoblog.com/2020/11/10/ford-electric-vehicle-future-mach-e-f-150-transit/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2022-ford-e-transit-kansas-city/ ELECTRIFY AMERICA REACHES 500 STATIONS Electrify America announced it has opened more than 500 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across the U.S., surpassing a significant milestone in the company’s expansion. With more than 2,200 individual DC fast chargers nationwide, Electrify America is delivering on its commitment to make EV ownership more convenient than ever. Giovanni Palazzo, president and chief executive officer of Electrify America: "Electrify America is raising the bar when it comes to the high speed charging experience needed to expedite the transition to an electric future. In just over two years, we’ve made great progress in expanding our network while maintaining a deliberate focus on delivering the fastest charging speeds possible – 150kW and 350kW. We are confident that reduced charging times and increased charger availability will help Electrify America, and the industry as a whole, deliver the future-proof charging experience that customers deserve.” "Along with the announcement of the milestone today, Electrify America has also announced that it will install solar-powered canopies to select locations. It will protect cars from the elements while delivering solar power. Furthermore, we previously reported that the charging network is installing Tesla Powerpacks at some of its charging stations.

Not only will it be the company’s top-tier EV, but it’ll also pack Level 3 semi-autonomous driving capabilities. We’ll get our first glimpse of the new model this Wednesday during the digital-only event, though BMW will only preview its design. How much we’ll see is unknown, though a new batch of spy photos isn’t hiding many secrets." says Motor1: "While we may see the iNext this week, production won’t begin until sometime next year. We don’t know when, though it could be a bit considering we're only seeing a design preview of the SUV on Wednesday." Much of the dash is still draped in cloth but we do see the single curved widescreen which spans two thirds of the dash. And a covered up grill!

The warranty expansion and offer to refund some owners may help Tesla avoid a mandatory recall, and a settlement or drawn out court battles. The memory devices in some Tesla MCUs have a limited “write cycle,” which means they won’t work well, or at all, after they hit a certain number of program or erase cycles." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/09/tesla-will-refund-owners-who-paid-to-fix-main-computers-out-of-pocket.html LOTUS JUMPS STRAIGHT TO ALL-ELECTRIC FOR PURE LUXURY "The Geely brand Lotus will rely on a purely electric drive instead of the originally announced hybrid drive for its first electrified SUV. The luxury car has been developed under the internal code name Lambda for market launch in 2022." says electrive: "The reason for the change to the pure e-drive system is the company’s affiliation with the Geely Group. Premium electric SUVs are in great demand in China, and the SEA platform announced in September provides a suitable electric basis for such a vehicle. With the SEA, Geely intends to build electric cars from the A to E segment and even light commercial vehicles for various brands. Lynk & Co will probably bring a big electric crossover with the 08, Volvo plans to build a small electric SUV below the XC40 with the XC20. At Polestar, the production version of the concept car Precept could be based on the SEA – Geely is planning a new China plant for Polestar." https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/09/lotus-jumps-straight-to-all-electric-for-pure-luxury/ You can listen to all 926 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Audi RS e-tron GT Prototype Impresses Ferrari remains shy on electric cars Bentley To Become An EV-Only Brand UK EV sales up 195% Germany marks October sales records for EVs Northvolt commissions first public energy storage system Tesla launches new winter tyres and wheels Updated: BMW's Change Of EV Philosophy Show #924 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily. 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. AUDI RS E-TRON GT PROTOTYPE IMPRESSES "Audi Sport, the division responsible for the automaker’s RS-badged models, has so far not done an electric vehicle. But it is currently putting the finishing touches on its first ever, an RS version of the upcoming Audi e-tron GT electric sedan, and it’s let journalists and influencers have a go in it." says InsideEVs: "Those who have had the chance to try it out, including Carwow’s Mat Watson and Misha Charoudin, were really impressed by the performance and the looks of the vehicle. They not only got to drive the vehicle in a controlled traffic-free environment, but they were also allowed to take the prototypes out on the road. Mat measured its performance with specialist timing gear - he recorded the RS e-tron GT as being able to sprint to sixty in 2.88 seconds and it completed the quarter-mile in 10.94 seconds at almost 130 mph (210 km/h)." The excellent evo.co.uk says: "Audi’s take on the Taycan is more relaxed than its Porsche counterpart, but will still make you second-guess that RS7 order" but doesn that imply to you like this is an Audi-badged Taycan? It's definitely not. It may share the J1 Performance PLatform but it's not a rebadged Porsche, everything you see (and a lot you can't see) is all designed by the Audi engineers. So you'll see similarities but correlation does not imply causation. They write: "The RS e-tron GT sits roughly on par with the non-S Taycan Turbo in terms of output. Its front-axle motor develops 175kW (235bhp) through a single-speed gearbox, and the rear 335kW (449bhp) through a two-speed unit and locking diff, for a combined 510kW (684bhp) – 10kW (13bhp) greater than the Taycan Turbo’s peak output. Like other recent Audi Sport models, the RS e-tron GT has a suite of features to keep its mass under control, from four-wheel steering to new three-chamber adaptive air suspension, the latter dropping the car 22mm for aerodynamics at high speed, 10mm in sporty driving, or raising it 20mm at low speeds for extra clearance." CAR mag says: "Pricing is TBC, but expect a £120,000 ballpark – a circa £20k premium over the non-RS e-Tron GT. Just like the Taycan, there’s a two-speed transmission on the rear axle, and a focus on coasting rather than recuperation to extend battery range. However, the Audi apparently uses its front e-motor a little more for reasons of efficiency, but can switch so rapidly to the rear (5x faster than mechanical all-wheel drive) that the effect on dynamic driving should be minimal. Expect more than 248 miles on the WLTP cycle. Charge times will be equivalent to the Taycan, with a maximum DC charging capacity of 270kW, for a theoretical 62 miles of range in 5 minutes. One engineer said the Porsche was ‘more about every last bit of lap time’, hence Dynamic mode is softer than a Taycan’s Sport, and there’s no Sport Plus equivalent." "Battery-pack capacity is one spec that makes no match with the Taycan. While the Porsche has a 79.2-kwh Performance Battery or a 93.4-kwh Performance Battery Plus, the E-Tron GT has an 83.7-kwh (net) battery with 396 pouch cells split into 33 modules. " according to Green CAr Reports: "The GT has two coolant circuits running at different temperature levels—a cooler one for the battery pack and a warmer one for the motors and power electronics. There are also cooling and heating circuits for the interior. Between the four circuits, a series of valves allow the systems to be flexibly interconnected, to function as a heat pump for the interior. The potential of the cooling systems is most used during high-performance driving, or during the highest-power DC fast charging" https://www.audi-mediacenter.com/en/press-releases/the-moment-of-truthformula-e-driver-lucas-di-grassi-tests-production-based-rs-e-tron-gt-13336 https://insideevs.com/reviews/452708/audi-rs-e-tron-gt-driven-tested/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles https://www.evo.co.uk/audi/203235/audi-rs-e-tron-gt-prototype-review-all-electric-taycan-turbo-rival-driven https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/audi/etron-gt/ https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1130199_2022-audi-e-tron-gt-electric-car-details-battery-charging-performance FERRARI REMAINS SHY ON ELECTRIC CARS "According to CEO Louis Camilleri, he doesn't believe the Italian brand will ever transition to a totally electric lineup. In fact, he doesn't even think the marque will reach an EV spread of 50%, at least in his lifetime, according to remarks he made during an investor call. Ferrari declined to comment further." says CNET.com: "Ferrari rolled out its first plug-in hybrid last year in the SF90 Stradale and the company thinks it will have an electric car ready after 2025. But, the it's not in a rush to go totally electric. " https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/ferrari-electric-cars-ceo/#ftag=CAD-09-10aai5b BENTLEY TO BECOME AN EV-ONLY BRAND "Bentley has used their Beyond 100 event to reveal their “bold ambition to be a leader of sustainable luxury mobility.” Under the plan, Bentley will exclusively offer plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles by 2026. The plug-in hybrids will eventually be dropped and the automaker will become an EV-only brand by 2030." reports CarScoops: "This is a huge change as Bentley is the “world’s largest producer of 12-cylinder petrol engines” and they’ll be completely phased out in less than a decade." https://www.carscoops.com/2020/11/bentley-to-become-an-ev-only-brand-petrol-engines-to-be-phased-out-by-2030/ UK EV SALES UP 195% battery electric and plug-in hybrid car uptake grew substantially to account for more than one in 10 registrations as new models continue to increase consumer choice. Demand for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) increased by 195.2%, while plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) were up 148.7% compared with October last year. 9,335 BEV in Oct and 76k YTD GERMANY MARKS OCTOBER SALES RECORDS FOR EVS "According to the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), exactly 23,158 electric cars were newly registered in Germany in October, marking a new record. Compared to the same month last year, this segment recorded an increase of no less than 365.1 per cent." reports electrive: "In terms of market share, all-electric passenger cars in Germany reached 8.4 per cent in October – in September the figure was 8 per cent." https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/04/germany-marks-october-sales-records-for-evs/ NORTHVOLT COMMISSIONS FIRST PUBLIC ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM Northvolt has commissioned its first public energy storage system at an electric vehicle charging station in Västerås, Sweden. The battery system is the first that local energy provider Mälarenergi has deployed alongside EV charging infrastructure. The system serves to reduce peaks in electricity demand of the charging station by more than 80%, thereby lessening the demands of electric vehicle charging on the electricity network. Northvolt has delivered a lithium-ion battery system based around its modular battery system, Voltrack, which provides power output up to 220 kW and a usable energy capacity of 320 kWh. The battery system functions as a buffer between the electricity grid and EV charging station to enable peak shaving and load levelling. Peak shaving in this way helps utilities to meet demand without relying on peaking generators which are increasingly recognized as a costly and inefficient way to compensate for new demands of EV charging. https://northvolt.com/newsroom/Rocklunda-Nov2020 TESLA LAUNCHES NEW WINTER TYRES AND WHEELS "Tesla has launched its Model Y winter tire and wheel package just in time for the first snow and regulations in the north. In the Northeast, many jurisdictions require drivers to install winter tires on their vehicles before a certain deadline in order to improve road safety." according to electrek.co: " Now with the Model Y about to face its first winter, Tesla has released the “Model Y 19″ Gemini Wheel and Winter Tire Package. It comes with PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO™ tires and costs $3,500 in the US and $4,700 in Canada; If your Model Y is sporting bigger than 19″ wheels with summer/all-season tires, we do recommend downgrading to 19″ for the winter, and that’s where Tesla’s wheel and tire package becomes a more attractive option." https://electrek.co/2020/11/04/tesla-model-y-winter-tire-wheel-package-launch/# UPDATED: BMW'S CHANGE OF EV PHILOSOPHY From Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW: " We delivered more than 116,000 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to customers in the first nine months – a new all-time high and a significant year-on-year increase of 20 percent. This trend became even clearer in October. The MINI Cooper SE has delighted around 13,000 customers since March – and our current order book is just as full. The BMW iX3 will be arriving in showrooms in the next few days. In 2021, the BMW i4 will come out of Plant Munich, with an electric range of up to 600 km. Followed in 2021 by the iNEXT. The Board of Management took the series version for a test drive. I’m sure this car will surprise and delight a lot of people. We expect demand for fully-electric vehicles to continue increasing significantly from 2025 on. Exactly then – just at the right time – we will launch phase III of our transformation. Our new cluster architecture is geared towards electric drive trains. This area reports directly to me. It is organisationally connected to all divisions – from markets, finance, procurement, development and production, all the way to sales and marketing. This gives us greater leverage and makes us much faster – also in our cooperation with partners. The objective is for the new architecture to create an overall optimum. Our new plant in Hungary will play a key role in this, ramping up the new BEV-centric architecture from the middle of the decade." https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0319993EN/statement-oliver-zipse-chairman-of-the-board-of-management-of-bmw-ag-conference-call-interim-report-to-30-september-2020 You can listen to all 923 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. BMW MAKES A DOES A COMPLETE U-TURN ON EV PHILOSOPHY "A week before unveiling the all-new iNext battery-electric vehicle, BMW said it will “realign” its strategy and begin developing a unique architecture solely for “electric drives,” rather than sharing the same platform for vehicles using both battery and conventional gas and diesel powertrains." writes Paul Eisenstein for The Detroit Bureau: "That’s a complete about face for the Bavarian marque which, in recent years, had hoped to save money and simplify manufacturing by coming up with common architectures that could roll off the same line. But it also marks a return to BMW’s original strategy when electrified models like the all-electric i3 city car and plug-in hybrid i8 sports car used unique platforms." CEO Oliver Zipse said during BMW’s quarterly earnings presentation on Wednesday: "The aim is to create an overall optimum with the new architecture. We will realign our vehicle architecture from the middle of the decade. Our new cluster architecture is geared towards electric drives” exclusively. Our new plant in Hungary plays a key role here, Our new plant in Hungary plays a key role here. We anticipate that the demand for fully electric vehicles will continue to increase significantly from 2025 onwards. Exactly then – keyword timing – we will ignite phase III of our transformation.” Compromise – battery location, battery thermal management, structural, production, cabin design (transmission tunnel), operation of the car, software, not needing space for ICE, fuel tank etc. Short term pain. Everything from now until 2025 is implicitly not optimal. https://www.thedetroitbureau.com/2020/11/bmw-does-a-complete-u-turn-on-its-ev-program/ BMW IX3 REVIEW FROM AUTOCAR "The iX3 also dispenses with the earlier strategy that called for BMW’s electric models to be based on a dedicated aluminium structure called LifeDrive, as with the similarly named but largely unrelated i3, launched back in 2013. Instead, the new but familiarly styled electric SUV is based on the same CLAR platform as recently facelifted petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid versions of the third-generation X3." writes Autrocar: "Another impressive aspect is the iX3’s advanced energy recuperation system, which offers the driver four modes: Low, Medium, High and Adaptive. In High mode, it allows one-pedal driving. Electric energy for the motor – a BMW unit produced at its Dingolfing factory in Germany – comes by way of a 74.0kWh lithium ion battery consisting of 10 modules and 188 individual prismatic cells supplied by Chinese battery specialist CATL. Mounted beneath the rear seat and within the floor of the boot, it is claimed to provide the new SUV with a range of between 280 and 285 miles on the WLTP test cycle." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/ix3/first-drives/bmw-ix3-2021-review NORWAY MARKS 7,873 NEW ELECTRIC CARS SOLD IN OCTOBER "In Norway, 7,873 new electric cars were registered in October. Electric cars accounted for 60.8 per cent of new passenger car registrations. With 2,475 units, the VW ID.3 was the most popular model across all drive types." reports electrive: "Compared to October 2019, this was an increase of 110.4 per cent. With 56,048 electric cars since the beginning of the year, the Norwegian electric car market is up on the figure for the same period last year (53,225), thanks in part to the last three strong months." https://www.electrive.com/2020/11/03/norway-marks-7873-new-electric-cars-sold-in-october/ TESLA 2020.44 CODE HINTS AT POTENTIAL IN-VEHICLE 5G CONNECTIVITY "Tesla owner-hacker @greentheonly has found breadcrumbs hinting at possible 5G connectivity coming to the EV automaker’s vehicles while sifting through the code of the company’s 2020.44 over-the-air software update. “Some additional breadcrumbs pointing at upcoming 5g modem support => connectivity suite update soon?” the noted Tesla hacker tweeted recently." erports Teslarati: "When asked if the refreshed 2021 Model 3 might have been upgraded with 5G equipment, the Tesla enthusiast said that the firmware in Model 3s before the refresh were not “enabled for 5G yet.” The Tesla community’s resident hacker also admitted that he had not personally seen a refreshed Model 3 yet. Later, Green added: “And there’s additional bandwidth usage monitoring added and a curious mothership option to ask cars to ‘collect hotspot info’- hotspot might really appear in foreseeable future?” Green’s recent observations suggest that Tesla may be preparing its vehicles for the 5G era, essentially future-proofing its electric cars." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-code-5g-connectivity-hotspot-update/ TESLA PARTS CATALOG UPDATED TO INCLUDE NEW MODEL 3 HEAT PUMP "One of the biggest items upgraded in the refreshed Model 3, the new heat pump, has been added back to the online Parts Catalog. Before any official announcements were made by Tesla, the online Parts Catalog was updated to include a new “Cabin Hvac” system for cars manufactured after October 5, 2020. It appeared someone mistakenly added the information as it mysteriously disappeared a few hours later." says Drive TEsla Canada: "Now Tesla has re-added the Cabin Hvac (After October 5, 2020) section to its website, and it shares a number of parts with the Model Y. With winter fast approaching, we’ll no doubt see numerous tests of both the Model Y and now the Model 3 to see how range and efficiency are impacted in cold weather." https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-3/tesla-parts-catalog-updated-to-include-new-model-3-heat-pump/ SWINDON POWERTRAIN LAUNCHES CLASSIC MINI EV CONVERSION KIT "Swindon Powertrain is now offering a stand-alone electric 80kW continuous (120 kW peak), Classic Mini Kit, which can be used in isolation or in addition to a range of aftermarket Swindon Powertrain EV components such as 12 kWhr battery pack, motor controller, onboard charger and DC-DC converter.

It also said the Chinese government will improve the green car quota system to guide automakers to make more environmentally friendly vehicles after it ends NEV subsidies in two years, and boost NEV sales for public uses such as bus and trucks." https://news.yahoo.com/china-revs-energy-vehicle-boom-105245580.html DESPITE EFFORTS TO REDUCES RARE-EARTH USE, PERCENTAGE OF PERMANENT MAGNET-BASED EV MOTORS RISING "While there has been much publicity and technical development towards rare-earth reduction in vehicle motors, in practice the market is seeing an increase in the number of permanent magnet motors." says Green Car Congress: "Permanent magnet motors typically have better efficiency during normal driving conditions than their alternatives, this in turn can result in improved driving range. For this reason, says IDTechEx, Tesla has transitioned from using copper induction motors in the Model S and X to using a permanent magnet motor in the Model 3 and Y (although dual motor variants use an ACIM on the front for a performance boost). Permanent magnets are typically made with rare-earth materials such as neodymium and dysprosium, which have a very geographically constrained supply chain. China accounts for the vast majority of rare-earth production worldwide and this has, in the past, led to huge price volatility." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/11/20201104-pm.html You can listen to all 922 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Show #870 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 18th August 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. BMW iNext Will Be Available In Three Versions "BMW knows it needs to get the production version of the iNext (possibly called iX) right because it will face some stiff electric SUV competition. So it needs to look good, be technologically advanced, have good range and charging capacity, as well as outright performance." says InsideEVs: " the entry level iNext will have 308 horsepower, the mid-range model will have 522 horsepower and the top of the range model will get 610 horsepower. All, even the base model, will come with a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup, although their level of performance will vary quite drastically (the most powerful version is nearly twice as powerful as the entry level model). We still don’t know the exact reveal date for the production model (and its official production name), but BMW has confirmed that series production will commence in July 2021 and it will go on sale in Europe shortly thereafter; the U.S. market will reportedly have to wait one additional year." https://insideevs.com/news/439432/bmw-inext-ix-610-horsepower/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles Volvo XC40 diesel models pulled from sale "Volvo has removed all diesel versions of its XC40 from sale in the UK as it moves away from the fuel in favour of electrified variants" reports Autocar: "A Volvo UK spokesman claimed the decision “is part of Volvo Cars’ ambitious global electrification strategy, which includes our well-established commitment to the phasing out of diesel in the long term. It also reflects the strong shift in customer demand towards petrol and electrified models.”. available are two Recharge models: a plug-in hybrid (from £39,130) and the electric P8. The latter is available in First Edition form from £59,985, with cheaper variants due later. Models such as the next-generation XC90 seven-seat SUV will ditch diesel in favour of hybrid and electric variants, Volvo has confirmed." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volvo-xc40-diesel-models-pulled-sale Elon Musk Says Tesla Is Developing a "Beast" Neural Network Training Computer "Elon Musk took to Twitter on Friday to share a new development in Tesla. He revealed that the firm is developing a Neural Network training computer called “Dojo" that will be a "beast."" says Interesting Engineering: "A follower asked the CEO what will be the next big public release that shows a massive leap in Autopilot Full-Self Driving (FSD). Musk responded that the FSD improvement will come as a "quantum leap." “The FSD improvement will come as a quantum leap, because it’s a fundamental architectural rewrite, not an incremental tweak. I drive the bleeding edge alpha build in my car personally. Almost at zero interventions between home & work. Limited public release in 6 to 10 weeks," said Musk. Musk added that going from 2D to 4D would be a giant improvement. The new system will interpret things like traffic lights, stops, turns, and changes in acceleration in a video setting." https://interestingengineering.com/elon-musk-says-tesla-is-developing-a-beast-neural-network-training-computer Tesla two-factor authentication ‘embarrassingly late’ "Elon Musk tweeted Friday that two-factor authentication for its app is “embarrassingly late” but apparently is now on the way. Musk didn’t provide a timeline, but said on Twitter that two-factor authentication — which adds an additional step to verify a user’s identity at sign-in— is in “final validation.”" says The Verge: "Tesla’s 2FA will be available via SMS and authenticator apps, which are generally considered more secure." https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/15/21370140/musk-tesla-2fa-security-cars Tesla gets approval for next construction phase for Giga Berlin "Tesla has received approval to begin the next phase of construction at the site of Giga Berlin. On August 17, the Brandenburg State Office for the Environment approved the early start of Tesla’s next construction phase for its European production facility. Construction crews on the site can now begin driving piles as a part of the continuing foundational work." reports JOey for Teslarati: "The main issue that arose from the request was the protection of groundwater at the Giga Berlin property site. Refueling the non-mobile pile drivers that Tesla’s crews need to use for the next phase was the primary concern for those who complained. The fueling process could lead to chemicals being spilled on the ground and contaminating the groundwater in the area. The required protective material will eliminate the possibility of polluting the water located at the Giga Berlin landmass. Additionally, more requirements will be made that will ensure local roads and railways are not damaged from the vibrations that will naturally occur from the piledriving process" https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-approval-giga-berlin-next-construction-phase/ Tesla breaks ground on world’s largest battery storage facility "Tesla, a world-renown electric automobile manufacturer along with PG&E recently began the construction of the world’s largest battery storage facility that will be located in Moss Landing (Monterey), California. The energy storage unit will be able to dispatch up to 730-megawatt hours (MWh) of energy to the electrical grid at a maximum rate of 182.5 MW for up to four hours using 256 of Tesla’s lithium-ion (Li-ion) Megapacks. Tesla and PG&E will have the option to upgrade Moss Landing’s capacity to bring the system up to 1.2-gigawatt-hours which could, according to Tesla’s report, power every home in the state of San Francisco for a quarter of the day." says Construction Review Online: "The battery storage facility will be launched in 2021 and will be designed, constructed, and maintained under both Tesla and PG&E. The construction of the Moss Landing site and other such mega-storage projects around the world shows us that there is a massive shift away from hydrocarbon-based power systems towards renewable generation backed up by utility-scale storage." https://constructionreviewonline.com/2020/08/tesla-breaks-ground-on-worlds-largest-battery-storage-facility/ RAC launches EV warranty to boost consumer confidence "Assurant, the RAC’s partner in the aftersales sector, has launched EV One, a warranty product available to all of the network’s 1,500 dealers. It can be applied to any used EV or hybrid – both plug-in and series – up to a maximum of eight years old and with 80,000 miles on the clock at the time of purchase." according to MotorTrader.com: "Cover can be for a variety of periods up to 24 months, and claims can be made at the supplying dealer or almost any other, up to a limit of the vehicle purchase price." Sean Kent, RAC director of sales at Assurant, said: “This is a very timely development with EVs and hybrids – especially plug-ins – starting to appear on the used market in larger numbers and, for the first time really, outside of franchise dealer networks. There is massive public interest in these vehicles but used car customers tend to be quite conservative in their buying choices. The new warranty, which provides the most comprehensive level of cover we have yet offered, is designed to deliver the peace of mind needed for them to feel comfortable with moving away from petrol and diesel power. As demand for EV and hybrids grows, car buyers are going to expect dealers to provide them as part of their stock mix, and the new warranty provides a cornerstone for new sales propositions for these kinds of vehicles." https://www.motortrader.com/motor-trader-news/automotive-news/rac-launches-ev-warranty-boost-consumer-confidence-18-08-2020 CATL aims to boost EV range with battery cells installed in vehicle frames "Chinese battery maker CATL is looking to boost the range of electric cars by packing batteries into vehicle frames, according to a Reuters report published Wednesday. Distributing battery cells throughout a car allows for more total cells, increasing energy-storage capacity and thus range. This will allow future electric cars to achieve a 500-mile range, CATL chairman Zeng Yuqun said at an industry conference in Wuhan, China" says Green Car Reports: "In 2018, Swedish researchers said they were looking at making the entire vehicle body the battery—encased in carbon fiber. Prior to that, Volvo experimented with storing energy in body panels, using a composite material made from carbon fiber. But barriers remain. Safety is one. Placing the battery in the middle of the vehicle, mostly away from crush zones, in a centralized pack, has helped make it more predictable for first responders in crashes." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1129239_report-catl-aims-to-boost-ev-range-with-battery-cells-installed-in-vehicle-frames Renault Twingo ZE gets official WLTP ratings "Now that the Renault Twingo ZE appears at Renault’s German and French websites, we have the official WLTP ratings. There’s good and bad news…" reports Pedro for PushEVs: "he bad news is that Renault’s on-board charger is still very inefficient at low currents. Charging at 10 amps has an efficiency of roughly 70 percent. To have a decent charging efficiency the current should be at least 16 amps, with 32 amps being recommended. Have this in mind when you choose an EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) if you have an electric car made by Renault. The good news is that the WLTP range is higher than was previously estimated by Renault. The WLTP city range is increased from 250 to 270 km and the WLTP combined range is increased from 180 to 190 km. (118 miles) from 22kWh battery. SEAT Mii electric. WLTP combined range: 161 miles. Total battery capacity: 36,8 kWh. Unfortunately the Renault Twingo ZE and the VW electric triplets are only considered as backup plans by their makers. They are the electric cars that Renault and Volkswagen will eventually try to sell only if the sales of the more profitable ZOE and ID.3 aren’t enough to meet EU emissions targets…" https://pushevs.com/2020/08/14/renault-twingo-ze-gets-official-wltp-ratings/ Kia Niro EV = New #1 EV In The Netherlands "Overall, 5,685 plugin vehicles were sold in July, a new year best, pulling the YTD tally back into positive numbers (+15% YoY), thanks to over 25,000 registrations." says Clean Technica: "The Kia Niro EV won last month’s trophy, beating its personal best on the way with a record score of 644 deliveries. In 2nd place we have a surprise — the MG ZS EV won silver, thanks to a year best score of 501 units. In 3rd we also have a kind of surprise, with the VW e-Golf scoring 488 units, a new year best and an amazing performance for a model said to have just a couple more months to live." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/08/16/kia-niro-ev-new-1-ev-in-netherlands/ You can listen to all 869 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

EVS OUTPERFORM NEW CAR MARKET IN JULY 2020 "The electric car market has once again significantly outperformed the UK new car market as a whole, with growth of 260% for pure-EVs in July 2020 and 320% for PHEVs, compared to the same period last year." says Next Green Car: "The latest set of Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders published today (Wednesday 5th August), shows continued success for electric cars. It's a trend that has been seen practically all year, with most months having triple digit growth in the pure-electric market. July's figures see pure-EVs make up 4.7% of all new cars sold in July 2020, with a total of 8,162 units registered. Plug-in Hybrid figures are similar, with 7,447 units, and market share of 4.3%. Combined plug-in vehicle registrations come in at 15,609 registrations - a market share of 8.9%." Diesel market share was 16.5% https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8962/evs-outperform-new-car-market-in-july-2020/ BMW INEXT SPIED IN DETAIL, SHOWING OFF SMOOTH STYLING "A new batch of spy photos provides a fantastic look at the upcoming BMW iNext. While the camouflage hides the specific design details, it's easy to get an idea of what this EV looks like when the concealment comes off. BMW is positioning the iNext as being a technological tour-de-force. One of the most interesting decisions is what the company is doing with its iconic kidney grille. As an electric vehicle, the openings to cool the engine are no longer necessary. Instead, the engineers are packing this area with many sensors to serve as the "eye" of the iNext." says Motor1.com: "The iNext will use BMW's fifth-generation EV powertrain. While power figures aren't available yet, the company intends the range to be in excess of 373 miles (600 kilometers). BMW will fully debut the iNext in 2021, and it'll be on sale later that year. As the premiere approaches, expect more camouflage to come off the development vehicles." iNEXT or i5? https://www.motor1.com/news/437421/bmw-inext-ev-spy-shots/ SMALLER TESLA CYBERTRUCK IS “HIGHLY LIKELY” "If all goes as planned—a big if given Tesla's history—the company will start producing the highly-anticipated Cybertruck in late 2021. Somewhere down the line, it's likely we'll also see a smaller version of the electric pickup, according to a recent tweet from CEO Elon Musk." says Motortrend: "Responding to a question about the possibility of a smaller truck for Europe, Musk said a smaller Tesla Cybertruck is "highly likely down the road." The tweet echoes Musk's comments in May, when he tweeted that the Cybertruck will remain about the same size as the concept and a smaller "world truck" will probably follow." https://www.motortrend.com/news/tesla-cybertruck-smaller-world-pickup-likely/ CYBERTRUCK VS RIVIAN ORDERS "Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T are neck and neck in electric pickup demand with some interesting other models trailing not too far behind, according to a new Twitter survey. Everyone has their favorite and using geotagged data from Twitter, partcatalog.com built a map showing the most anticipated electric truck in every state. They said about the methodology: “The map is based on geotagged Twitter data in the last month, tracking tweets and hashtags about electric trucks in every state, including the models most mentioned. Over 90,000 tweets were tracked.”" writes Electrek: " Tesla, the automaker claimed over 200,000 reservations within the first week of taking orders and the latest tally put reservations at over 650,000 over the last 9 months. However, Tesla has been asking for only a $100 deposit for Cybertruck reservations." https://electrek.co/2020/08/04/tesla-cybertruck-rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-demand-survey/ TESLA CYBERTRUCK RESERVATIONS LOWER THAN EXPECTED "The number of reservations for Tesla’s Cybertruck is apparently much lower than expected. While fans had assumed over 700,000 reservations based on the analysis of reservation numbers, Elon Musk has now named a significantly lower number. In an interview with Automotive News, Musk said that the number of Cybertruck reservations was “over 200,000”. This comes as a surprise since Elon Musk had already announced 250,000 pre-orders just a few days after the presentation of the Cybertruck in November. This presumably points to cancellations." says Electrive. Whilst CNET reports: "Fans keeping track of their order numbers estimated that there have been approximately 727,000 reservations for the electric pickup truck. That's a huge difference, and we'd think Musk would have the more accurate information." https://www.electrive.com/2020/08/05/tesla-cybertruck-reservations-lower-than-expected/ https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/elon-musk-tesla-cybertruck-reservations/ RESERVATION NUMBERS REVEAL RIVIAN R1T HAS 30,000 BUYERS WAITING "We thought we'd have a hard task getting the real amount of preorders, but that was spared thanks to Skyler Williams and John King. The answer is not 43: it is approximately 30,000, even if the reservation numbers are now around 56,000. How?" says InsideEVs: "If it starts delivering the pickup truck by July 2021 and producing 20,000 per year, as promised, it will let everyone that order an R1T have their cars by August 2022, according to John King's calculations. That happens because he works with a more precise number of preorders: 24,832. Williams is more careful and says his figures are based on big assumptions." https://insideevs.com/news/437341/rivian-r1t-30-thousand-reservations/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles TESLA 2020.32 SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH 'SUSPENSION IMPROVEMENTS' We have simplified the Tesla suspension control logic to better support both temporary and more permanent heights. If Ride Height manually adjusted to High or Very High, your car now automatically lowers after you drive a short distance. For snowy or off-rad conditions, tap "Keep" next to the Ride Height-slider to keep the height at High or Very High until you reach the maximum allowed speed. For steep driveways or places where you repeatedly need a higher ride height, tap "Always Auto-Raise at this Location." This feature will raise suspension to the saved height when re-entering the location. The new Suspension Improvements update shows specific heights in inches. https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-2020-32-software-update-with-suspension-improvements-for-model-s-x AAA CAR SUBSCRIPTION DEPLOYS 55 ELECTRIC VEHICLES AAA Car Subscription now offers 55 Volkswagen e-Golf electric vehicles available for short-term subscription in the Sacramento area as part of Electrify America’s Green City initiative.

BP TO CUT OIL PRODUCTION 40% "In some refreshingly good news for the environment, news coming out of London, BP has announced that it is planning to cut oil and gas production by 40% and invest billions of dollars into clean energy. This is part of a major strategic plan that was unveiled today along with a gigantic second-quarter loss and dividend cut." says CleanTechnica: "BP expects that demand for fossil fuels will fall by 75% over the next 30 years if global temperatures continue to increase. Its head of strategy, Giulia Chierchia, explained to investors that if the increase in global temperatures is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, then the demand for fossil fuels will fall drastically.

Developing a performance car generally requires removing as much weight as possible, but designing an electric car with an acceptable amount of driving range normally means using a bulky battery pack." says Autoblog. Silke Bagschik, Volkswagen's head of electric car marketing and sales, told Autoblog; ""Looking at the weight distribution, this decision was made very early. With the battery adding weight, you have a super low center of gravity. In most front-wheel drive electric cars, you don't have that much fun when you're taking off because the front wheels spin, especially when it's wet. With rear-wheel drive, that never happens. This is the reason we did that; fun. Otherwise, we would have had to restrict the torque, and I think torque is fun every day" You can listen to all 859 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Show #839 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 14th July 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. BMW STARTS EV OFFENSIVE WITH IX3 "The BMW iX3 is the brand’s first electric vehicle targeted at a sweet spot of the premium market: the midsize SUV segment, where it will compete with models such as the Jaguar I-Pace and forthcoming Tesla Model Y." says Christian at Automotive News Europe: "The iX3, which debuts in China later this year and in Europe in early 2021, previews BMW's upcoming EV offensive that will include two more models next year, the i4 sedan and the larger iNEXT crossover. The iX3 is the first BMW to use the automaker's flexible architecture that can underpin combustion engine, plug-in hybrid and battery-powered cars. This allows BMW to produce all three variants on the same assembly line." 188 prismatic NMC 811 cells Battery 518kg 180kph top speed Current-excited synchronous electric motors (VW use permanent magnet synchronous motor which is lighter and more efficient but uses more rare earth materials, Tesla Model 3/Y and the front motor in the S & X use a form of those called permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motors ...e-tron and EQC plus S&X rear motors are induction motors which have very high torque at low speeds) "When the electric SUV will later go on sale in Europe, BMW is calling for prices starting just under 70,000 euros." says electrive: "For the high base price the iX3 is comparatively well equipped. The standard equipment already includes a metallic paint finish, 3-zone automatic climate control with auxiliary heating and air conditioning functions, automatic tailgate operation, the “Driving Assist Professional” and LED headlights. Aerodynamically optimised 19-inch rims are fitted ex works, while the “Impressive” equipment line features 20-inch rims. This equipment also includes acoustic glazing, the head-up display and sports seats." Jalopnik were less complimentary: "The Tesla Model S started production in 2012, and showed that the world was ready for a full-on, from-the-ground-up electric car. One that wasn’t just the shell of a gas-powered car with some batteries jammed in. And yet, some 8 years later, BMW is still facing up against Tesla with a shell of a gas-powered car with some batteries jammed in." https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/bmw-starts-ev-offensive-ix3?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter https://www.electrive.com/2020/07/14/bmw-ix3-to-cost-e70000/ https://jalopnik.com/bmw-s-most-serious-new-electric-car-is-kind-of-lame-1844375848 PATENTS REVEAL DACIA SPRING: THE MOST AFFORDABLE EV IN EUROPE "When Carlos Ghosn said he wanted a small and affordable electric car to sell all over the world, Renault gave him the K-ZE City. The urban vehicle has a 26.8 kWh pack, good for 271 km of range under the NEDC cycle. Europe will finally have its version of that affordable EV when the Dacia Spring is put for sale in early 2021, and these patents show it will not change much compared to the concept." says InsideEVs: "Primarily based on the Renault Kwid developed for India and Brazil. In China, its most expensive version, sold by 71,800 RMB ($10,246, at the current exchange rate), is slightly taller, at 1,52 m (59,8 in), probably due to roof rails. It also has a mid-spec option for 66,800 RMB ($9,533). The entry-level K-ZE costs 61,800 RMB – or $8,819 " https://insideevs.com/news/433930/patents-reveal-affordable-dacia-spring/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles ELECTRIFY AMERICA INTRODUCES NEW PROPOSAL FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER EMOJI Ahead of World Emoji Day on July 17, Electrify America announced a new proposal to introduce the first-ever “EV Charger” emoji for smartphone keyboards. The proposal was officially submitted for consideration to the Unicode Consortium, the governing body for emoji creation. After offering an “Electric Vehicle with Charger” emoji on World Emoji Day 2019 and receiving a decline from the Unicode Consortium, the EV charging company felt strongly enough about accurately representing EV chargers and the future of transportation through emoji to create and submit a new design. The new “EV Charger” emoji design takes feedback from the committee into account, streamlining the emoji to focus on solely the charger. https://media.electrifyamerica.com/en-us/releases/104 STARD WRITES HISTORY WITH FIRST VICTORY FOR AN ELECTRIC RALLYCROSS CAR STARD, based near Vienna, Austria, is a company familiar with making history in the alternative technology motorsport arena. But, on Sunday July 12, together with rally star Manfred Stohl, STARD made its biggest entry into the history books yet by claiming the first ever victory for a rallycross car using a fully-electric powertrain. The REVelution electric kit for Projekt E produces 450kW (613bhp) combined power, 1000Nm of instantaneous torque with a top speed of 240km/h from three high performance road car electric motors, using a four-wheel drive system and two-speed transmission. Last weekend at the Kakucs circuit in Hungary, in a round of the Hungarian Rallycross Championship, STARD ran a Ford Fiesta ElectRX, the debut appearance for a fully-electric rallycross car in its intended environment. BRITISH BATTERY STORAGE SECTOR TAKES A ‘BIG STEP’ AS MINISTERS REMOVE SIZE LIMIT BARRIERS "Barriers have been removed allowing for battery storage projects five times the size as the current limit in Britain, in a move hailed as a “significant, positive and well-timed” step. Secondary legislation was passed by ministers today (14 July) that will allow for projects above 50MW in England and 350MW in Wales." sayx energy-storage.news: "Head of markets at National Grid ESO, Kayte O’Neill said that how the company operates the grid is changing as record levels of renewable energy sources generate more and more of Great Britain’s power. Currently there is 4GW of storage project in planning in Great Britain according to BEIS, which collectively could power 6 million homes. Already, there is 1GW of battery storage in operation. The gov said: “Removing barriers in the planning system will help us build bigger and more powerful batteries, creating more green-collar jobs and a smarter electricity network.” https://www.energy-storage.news/news/british-battery-sector-takes-a-big-step-as-ministers-remove-barriers HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC ACHIEVES RECORD SALES IN JUNE "In March Hyundai started the deliveries of the Kona Electric made at its European manufacturing plant, in Czech Republic. Back then European production was at 150 Kona Electrics per day and Hyundai planed to produce 30.000 electric cars this year in Europe." says PushEVs: "Hyundai also expected that by delivering 80.000 electric cars to European customers this year, it would become the biggest provider of zero-emission vehicles in Europe in 2020. in June Hyundai managed to sell 5.627 units of the Kona Electric outside its domestic market, which represents a sales record for this automaker.It seems that the production of ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars was much more affected by the lockdowns than the production of electric cars. One possible explanation is that since electric cars are simpler to build and require far fewer parts, supplier list is also much shorter and resuming production is always less problematic." https://pushevs.com/2020/07/14/hyundai-kona-electric-achieves-record-sales-in-june/ SUBSIDIES SLASH EV LEASE COSTS IN GERMANY, FRANCE "Car buyers in Germany and France can now get their hands on a brand-new electric vehicle for less than the typical cost of a mobile-phone contract. Thanks to newly generous subsidies, some are even free." writes Automotive News Europe: "Shoppers have swarmed virtual showrooms in Germany and France -- the region's two largest passenger-car markets -- after their national governments boosted electric-vehicle incentives to stimulate demand. Their purchase subsidies are now among the most favorable in the world, according to BloombergNEF. The state support is allowing Autohaus Koenig, a dealership chain with more than 50 locations across Germany, to advertise a lease for the battery-powered Renault Zoe that is entirely covered by subsidies. In France, where the government raised subsidies to 7,000 euros per car this year, customers can lease the Zoe from 79 euros a month." https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/subsidies-slash-ev-lease-costs-germany-france TESLA’S MODEL Y STRATEGY SHOWS THAT LONG RANGE EVS ARE THE NEW STANDARD "Over the weekend, Tesla, through its CEO, Elon Musk, revealed that the Model Y Standard Range RWD will no longer be produced. In its place will be a Long Range RWD variant that Musk states will have a range that’s significantly higher than 300 miles per charge. With this update, the message was clear: Tesla is intent on making Long Range versions of its vehicles as the new standard. " says TEslarati: "when Elon Musk confirmed that the Standard Range RWD version of the Model Y has been cancelled, he stated that the variant’s range would be “unacceptably low.”. The cancellation of the Model Y Standard Range RWD also seems to be a way for the company to keep the Model 3 Standard Range Plus as the de facto entry level Tesla for some time. After all, the Model Y Standard Range RWD was initially listed with a price of $39,000, which is very close to the Model 3 Standard Range Plus’ $37,990. By removing the Model Y Standard Range, Tesla could ensure that the Model 3 Standard Range Plus will remain a bang for your buck sedan." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-y-long-range-rwd-price-elon-musk/ [mention for Premium Partners] You can listen to all 838 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

TESLA IS HAVING TROUBLE SCALING THE MODEL Y "The Model Y went into production just before the pandemic forced Tesla to shut down its Fremont factory. Now that the factory is back to work, Tesla had hoped to ramp up Model Y production as well. But not everything has gone to plan. And CEO Elon Musk is once again taking to the factory floor to see if he can fix problems himself." Says Jalopnik: "It’s always unclear whether Elon taking to the factory floors actually helps—it seems distracting, if nothing else, if you’re trying to focus on your work and the billionaire CEO of the company is wandering around observing things. But whether it’s a publicity stunt or not—or maybe Elon’s just bored—these factory tours always just seem to come and go, and production rolls on." As per Bloomberg: "Tesla Inc.’s Elon Musk told employees the electric-car maker is having issues boosting output of its new Model Y crossover and said he’ll be walking the assembly line on a weekly basis to troubleshoot production snafus." Elon in an email on Saturday: “It is extremely important for us to ramp up Model Y production and minimize rectification needs. I want you to know that it really makes a difference to Tesla right now. Model Y, especially GA (stands for General Assembly), is the top priority for both production and manufacturing engineering. GA4 (stands for General Assembly Line 4) is also top priority for facility improvements. For those working in GA4, thank you for bearing with tough conditions. Will get better fast. I will be walking the line personally every week. We are doing reasonably well with S, X, and 3, but there are production and supply chain ramp challenges with Model Y, as is always the case with new products." Teslarati reports: "The current production line where the Model Y is built is GA4, which is an outdoor tent that sits next to the Fremont facility. Previously, the Model 3 was constructed on this line and was eventually built 5,000 sedans a week. Much like the Model Y’s current roadblocks, the Model 3 also encountered problems at the beginning of its eventually-successful ramp up stage." https://jalopnik.com/tesla-is-having-trouble-scaling-the-model-y-1843969100 TESLA MODEL Y DEMAND MIGHT BE WEAK "It's possible Tesla faces weaker than expected demand for the Model Y SUV as the company now includes the vehicle in its referral program." Says Roadshow by CNET: "Seeing the Model Y show up so soon after production and deliveries started is, frankly, kind of surprising. The whole concept is to reward the Tesla owner referring a new buyer and each receives 1,000 miles worth of free Supercharger station use. Then, hopefully, enough current owners flip new buyers into Teslas to help create more demand. In contrast to the Model Y's very early addition to the referral program, the Model 3 didn't show up until one year after deliveries started" https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/tesla-model-y-demand-might-be-weak-judging-by-automakers-latest-move/ar-BB15g5qx?li=BBnb4R5 LORDSTOWN MOTORS TO UNVEIL ENDURANCE ELECTRIC TRUCK THIS MONTH "Lordstown Motors is making good on its promise to unveil the Endurance electric pickup truck this summer, announcing that its maiden product will be introduced during a company meeting the week of June 22, video of which will be released to the public by month’s end." Reports Autoblog: "Integration work has also begun on areas like the body shop, general assembly, motor lines and paint shop, with demolition of around 200,000 square feet to make space for lines to build the battery and motors. The Detroit Free Press recently reported that Lordstown currently employs around 70 people, mostly engineers, and including a team of 20 who work in a design studio in Ford’s backyard in Dearborn, Mich. making clay models of future vehicles, with the remainder working on retooling the plant. The goal is to make 30 pre-production versions of the Endurance by December." https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/09/lordstown-motors-endurance-unveiling-june/ GM CEO MARY BARRA PREDICTS MASS ELECTRIFICATION WILL TAKE DECADES "Mary Barra, the firm's CEO, conceded that battery-powered cars won't fully replace their gasoline-burning counterparts for several decades. She stressed the shift is ongoing, but she hinted it will be slower than many assume." Says Autoblog. "Leadership Live with David Rubenstein," a talk show aired by Bloomberg Television: "We believe the transition will happen over time, It will happen in a little bit longer period, but it will happen" https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/09/mary-barra-gm-electric-vehicle-timeline-decades/ TESLA V3 SUPERCHARGER TEST "We know Tesla's new V3 Superchargers can deliver up to 250 kW to Model 3's, but until now, we hadn't recorded a charging session ourselves to see exactly what the charging curve looks like." Says Tom Molougney for InsideEVs: "I had the perfect opportunity to do so this weekend, as I was conducting a 70-mph range test on my 2019 Tesla Model 3 and would be draining the battery down to zero. There's only one V3 Supercharger site open in New Jersey, and it's right off the NJ Turnpike. During the charging session, the vehicle reached 250 kW at the 5% SOC point and held it until the SOC reached 24%. That's similar to how Porsche manages the Taycan's charging curve, as it too begins to ramp down the power once the car is at 25% SOC. While charging on the V3 Supercharger, I reached 50% SOC in only thirteen minutes, and the car was still accepting 120 kW at that point. It took 28 minutes to reach 80% and the charge rate has slowed down to 54 kW at that point. Had I continued to let the car charge to 100% it would have taken longer for the last 20% than it took to get to 80%. " https://insideevs.com/news/427836/tesla-model-3-v3-supercharging-test/ MG E-MOTION HAS ITS PRODUCTION VERSION REVEALED BY PATENT IMAGES " Presented in 2017, the electric coupe was expected to premiere in 2020. With the COVID-19 pandemics and MG’s silence, we thought it was going to be postponed. Yet, the guys at Cochespias.net found Chinese patent images that reveal the production version of the E-Motion." Says MSN: "With that, the new electric coupe front end lost character and looks very much like an Aston Martin. The dashboard image allows us to see that the E-Motion will have a giant heads-up display. Around the cluster, flat surfaces suggest a massive screen for controlling the infotainment system, air conditioning, and other car functions – either that or a bizarre design. If the car can still preserve the 500 km (311 mi) of range and the acceleration time of less than 4 seconds the MG E-Motion may repeat the ZS EV success." https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/mg-e-motion-has-its-production-version-revealed-by-patent-images/ar-BB15fdP1 BMW READY TO START PRODUCTION OF IX3 AT CHINESE PLANT "BMW's iX3 is scheduled to enter production in late summer, the automaker said Tuesday. The battery-electric version of the popular X3 crossover SUV will be built exclusively at a plant in Shenyang, China, which is run by a joint venture between BMW and local partner Brilliance." Reports Motor Authority: "The plant is currently building pre-production iX3s but will soon make the switch to customer examples. Both the iX3 and regular X3 will be built on the same line. BMW will start deliveries of the iX3 in China and Europe later this year but doesn't plan to sell it in the United States. Instead, U.S. customers seeking an electric BMW crossover will have to wait until the larger iNext arrives in 2021.The production version is expected to come with 74 kilowatt-hours of battery capacity, which is lower than what rivals are already packing. For example, the Audi E-Tron and Jaguar I-Pace come with with 95- and 90-kwh batteries, respectively. It means the iX3's range could be considerably lower than 200 miles if measured by the EPA, which could be one of the reasons BMW has decided not to sell the iX3 here." https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1117634_bmw-ready-to-start-production-of-ix3-at-chinese-plant ELECTRIC WRX KIT COULD MAKE 2021 COMPETITION DEBUT "Austrian firm Kreisel won the tender to produce and supply the electric kits for World RX's revised electric strategy last October, but the introduction of electric cars at the sport's top level has been postponed a year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic." Says motorsport.com: "The four-wheel drive, twin-motor 500 kW kit will be built into a Skoda Fabia R5 chassis (called the Fabia REX), in a collaboration with the Baumschlager Rallye Racing squad run by three-time Janner Rally winner Raimund Baumschlager. The kit will run a single-speed transmission, produced by British firm Xtrac. While the 52.65kWh battery's safety features will be the same as those used in the World Rally Championship's hybrid switch for 2022, for which Kreisel will also be involved in supplying together with Compact Dynamics GmbH, the WRC machines will not use the same battery as the World RX Supercars" They said: ""We have our own charging system which makes it possible for us to charge the battery in 18 minutes, so this means in a normal service period in a conventional rally of 20 - 30 mins, you can recharge the full battery" https://www.motorsport.com/world-rx/news/electric-world-rallycross-kit-2021-debut/4803725/?utm_campaign=RSS-ALL&utm_content=www&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=RSS&utm_term=News GERMAN PUBLIC ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING NETWORK GROWS 60% "Germany's public network for electric vehicles expanded by 10,000 charging spots, an increase of nearly 60 percent, in the last year, the country's electricity lobby said on Monday." According to Automotive News Europe: "As part of the country's stimulus package unveiled last week, 2.5 billion euros ($2.8 billion) have been earmarked specifically to build out electric charging spots and battery cell technology. Around 280,000 electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids are currently registered in Germany. Existing public infrastructure can cater for 440,000 cars." https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/german-public-electric-car-charging-network-grows-60 UK POWER NETWORKS LAUNCHES EV CHARGER SURGERY FOR COUNCILS "UK Power Networks says its new electric vehicle charging surgery for local councils could save them millions of pounds by matching chargepoints with network capacity." according to The Energyst: "UKPN said its connections team undertakes a detailed analysis of where a local authority plans to install charge points, and suggests the most cost-effective alternative locations." QUESTION OF THE WEEK How far does a plug-in hybrid need to drive on EV power only?

Good luck for Thursday's Thanksgiving Carmageddon! 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E FIRST EDITION IS SOLD OUT IN U.S. "Motorists in the market for a Ford Mustang Mach-E are down to four variants. The First Edition model positioned near the top of the trim hierarchy is sold out on the American market." reports Autoblog today: "Ford opened Mach-E reservations shortly after unveiling the model on Nov. 17, and America's entire allocation of First Edition models was spoken for in nine days. Sold out is a little bit of a vague term, because the firm hasn't revealed how many units of the First Edition it plans to make or how long it will be in production. First-in-liners in other countries still have time to secure one of the First Edition models. The trim level remains available in France, in the United Kingdom, and in Germany, among other countries." https://www.autoblog.com/2019/11/27/ford-mustang-mach-e-first-edition-sold-out FORD TARGETS EUROPE’S ELECTRIC MARKET "According to insider information, Ford wants to sell 60 per cent of the electric SUV Mustang Mach-E produced in the first year in the EU. Of course, the reason for this is the local fleet limits that Ford wants to meet with the sale of electric cars." says Chris Randall for electrive: "30,000 vehicles would be delivered to the EU and around 20,000 cars would remain in the USA with the 60 per cent share mentioned above. However, there is no confirmation from the manufacturer for these figures. It is also unclear how the vehicles will be allocated to the individual markets. While Ford is based in the US, which would ease delivery logistics, the EU’s more strict environmental regulations are seemingly pushing Ford to prioritise the European market." https://www.electrive.com/2019/11/27/ford-takes-aim-for-europes-electric-market/ VOLKSWAGEN'S AUDI TO CUT ONE IN TEN JOBS TO FUND SHIFT TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES "Volkswagen’s (VOWG_p.DE) luxury car unit Audi (NSUG.DE) on Tuesday said it would cut one in ten jobs, freeing up billions of euros to fund its shift towards electric vehicle production." according to a Reuters report out today: "Audi said it would cut up to 9,500 jobs, or 10.6% of its total staff by 2025, saving 6 billion euros (£5 billion), but also create up to 2,000 new positions in the areas of electric mobility and digitalisation. The group said the cuts, which would also include management positions, would take place along the demographic curve through employee turnover and early retirement programmes and help it reach a profit margin of 9-11%. Audi said a fund would be set up at the Neckarsulm site to fund the shift towards electric vehicles and would be worth 300 million euros by 2025." https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-volkswagen-audi-costs/volkswagens-audi-to-cut-one-in-ten-jobs-to-fund-shift-to-electric-vehicles-idUKKBN1Y019F BMW TO CUT STAFF BONUSES "BMW AG will reduce bonus payments for employees in Germany as the luxury-car maker grapples with the costly shift to electric and self-driving vehicles." says Bloomberg today: "BMW’s bonus cuts and other measures are part of a broader push to save more than 12 billion euros ($13 billion) and free up funds for developing new technology. Stricter emissions regulations are all but impossible to meet without sizable sales of electric vehicles" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-27/bmw-s-electric-car-savings-push-to-lower-staff-bonuses MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES “ENJOY ELECTRIC.” CAMPAIGN FOR THE EQC SUV November sees the start of the advertising campaign “Enjoy Electric.” for the market launch of the Mercedes-Benz EQC with various moving image formats and a major print and online communication initiative. The videos describe the EQC with its characteristic Mercedes-Benz qualities such as quality, safety and comfort. This is expressed by the campaign film with The Weeknd as the main protagonist. BMW AND VW AIM FOR CLOSE CONTROL OVER BATTERIES, DON’T WANT TO MAKE THEM "Like nearly all global automakers, BMW has decided it doesn’t want to manufacture battery cells. How does it maintain an edge on the battery side—and characteristics that are a good match for the automaker—when it’s potentially using what look like the same “commodity cells” as other automakers?" asks Green Car Reports: “The answer to this is by being very active (and proactive) in what it wants and needs—with the newly opened Battery Competence Center, in Munich, a facility that it’s invested more than $220 million ($200 million euros) into over four years. In it, up to 200 “smart scientists” work on cell chemistry, with collaboration between BMW and the supplier companies. And it allows BMW to have control over the whole process. The fifth-generation scalable electric toolkit is being launched as a whole with the upcoming iX3 and the iNext, both due to arrive by 2021.Through the center, it can test out entirely different cell types. BMW doesn’t see solid state becoming common until the 2030s, though, and it sees its integration into cells and modules as barriers as well as the setting (and meeting) of safety standards for them.

The ADAC Opel e-Rally Cup and the Opel Corsa-e Rally car will be presented to sports enthusiasts at the Essen Motor Show from November 29 to December 8 (ADAC stand, Hall 3). At the same time, two purely battery-electric Opel Corsa-e Rally cars will complete an extensive development programme. The 136hp electric cars are currently undergoing endurance and component testing at the Test Center in Dudenhofen. OVER A QUARTER MILLION EVS IN INDIA HAVE RECEIVED SUBSIDIES "The Indian government has reported the number of electric vehicles that have benefited under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles in India (FAME) program. The program had been launched as part of the National Electricity Mobility Mission Plan to boost adoption of EVs in the country." says CleanTechnica: "According to the Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, around 285,000 electric vehicles have so far been issued a total of $50 million in subsidies. A large number of models across two, three, and four-wheel options are listed as eligible to receive subsidies. The subsidies are available not only to pure EVs but also to hybrid cars." https://cleantechnica.com/2019/11/26/over-a-quarter-million-evs-in-india-have-received-subsidies-reports-indian-government/ AUDI UK LAUNCHES NEW WHATSAPP-BASED SERVICE FOR EV OWNERS "Audi is making EV ownership easier with a new service for buyers of its new e-tron electric vehicle range." says Motor1.com: "The e-tron Concierge Service is a new 'premium communication tool' based on WhatsApp which allows customers to ask questions and get a response from EV experts in a matter of minutes between 8am and 9pm, seven days a week. Photos, videos, and voice recordings can also be added to messages. The service has already been in operation since September for those that have placed an order for an Audi e-tron. Those signed up to the service will get an email inviting them to start a chat with an expert on it. The e-tron Concierge Service has already proved to be popular with customers, with questions regarding access to charging points, accessory and winter tyre availability already being asked." https://uk.motor1.com/news/384324/audi-e-tron-concierge/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week… "The controversial, and botched, Cybertruck launch is now the most-Googled search term in the companies history.

MERCEDES-BENZ EQV WORLD PREIMERE A new video hit YoUTube today on the official Mercedes-Benz channel to premiere the EQV. The video description says: "The electric drive train (eATS) of the EQV is situated on the front axle under the dynamic front end of the car with a charging connection in the bumper. It has a peak output of 150 kW. The electric motor, the transmission with a fixed gear ratio, the cooling system and the power electronics constitute a highly integrated, compact unit. The power is provided by a lithium ion battery under the floor of the vehicle. Its low, central location also has a positive effect on the handling characteristics of the EQV. A top speed of up to 160 km/h also ensures that you quickly get to where you are going outside an urban environment." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyHVf-FQHGk MERCEDES-BENZ EQV ELECTRIC VAN DEBUTS WITH 250-MILE RANGE "The German luxury marque revealed the EQV online ahead of its global debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show next month, and it packs a lot of the tech we expected it would. It's mostly a battery-electric version of the standard V-Class, and the company plans to build it in Spain alongside its fossil-fuel-sipping cousin. Thus, the design is pretty familiar, but the EQV wears a face we've become familiar with." says CNET: "The lithium-ion battery that motivates the EQV is under the floor to save on cargo space. Total, drivers will have 201 horsepower at their disposal and the 90-kWh lithium-ion battery will provide an estimated range of 250 miles. Like so many European estimates, it's important to note the range is based on WLTP standards, which are more liberal than EPA estimates. Mercedes-Benz didn't say how long it will take to charge the van on a standard socket or its 11-kW charging box, but DC fast charging will juice the battery to 80% in under 45 minutes." https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-van/ MERCEDES EQV REVEALED AS WORLD'S FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC PREMIUM VAN And from Motor1.com today: "Just like the EQV Concept, the production all-electric van adopts the automaker’s MBUX infotainment platform with a single tablet-style screen instead of the 12.3-inch screens seen on other new Mercedes products. The system supports voice control and also allows customers to pre-condition the interior cabin temperature from a special mobile application." https://uk.motor1.com/news/366081/mercedes-eqv-unveiled-details/ YOU WON'T NEED A PHONE TO USE THE PORSCHE TAYCAN'S APPLE MUSIC "Porsche is including Apple Music in the all-electric Taycan so its drivers can enjoy their tunes without having to connect their phone. That said, you’ll still have to be an Apple Music subscriber, which costs anywhere from $5 to $15 a month. If you already have Apple Music, that’s great. If you need to buy it, well, it still costs the same as a Spotify subscription." reports Jalopnik. From the press release from Porsche: "From the touchscreen display in the Porsche Advanced Cockpit, Apple Music subscribers can stream over 50 million songs ad-free, thousands of curated playlists, and the Beats 1 global livestream with three-year complimentary in-car internet data. This is the first-ever full integration of Apple Music in any vehicle." https://jalopnik.com/you-wont-need-a-phone-to-use-the-porsche-taycans-apple-1837400531 PORSCHE’S TAYCAN WILL BE THE FIRST CAR WITH A BUILT-IN APPLE MUSIC APP And from The Verge today: "Although it has previously been possible to listen to Apple Music in compatible cars using CarPlay (which Porsche has supported since 2015), this is the first time Apple’s music streaming service has been available as a native app on any car. Combined with the announcement that Apple is putting iTunes on Samsung TVs, the move shows how Apple is increasingly comfortable with putting its apps and services on non-Apple hardware.

The pace of registrations then slowed down so the 20,000 mark was reached in early June. Volkswagen has needed more than 100 days to get 27,000 and it's now close to the target of 30,000, which was expected to be achieved by the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We guess it will be achieved on time, but it's nothing extraordinary taking into consideration the massive sales volume planed.

Two battery-electric mid-range crossover models are apparently planned, one for the Ford brand and another for the Lincoln brand, according to a media report. Both models would be based new BEV platform that was announced in March of this year." according to Electrive: "The two new BEVs, which have code-named CDX746 and CDX747 by Automotive News as they leaked the news, are planned for 2023 and will go into production in Flat Rock, Michigan at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023.

The test cars were produced at the company’s Pilot Plant in the heart of the Research & Innovation Centre (FIZ) and will be used for road tests and preparations for actual mass production. BMW’s main goal is to assemble the EV on the same assembly line as conventional ICE-powered and PHEV cars. As for the iNEXT itself, think of it as the all-electric alternative of the X5 in terms of dimensions and cabin room. Currently under development, the model will incorporate BMW’s fifth-generation electric drive system with an estimated range between charges of more than 373 miles (600 kilometers) based on the WLTP cycle. The iNEXT will be the “technology flagship” of the automaker and will support level 3 autonomous driving when it debuts for the 2021 model year." https://www.motor1.com/news/366028/2021-bmw-inext-teaser-exterior/ REPORT: RANGE ANXIETY REMAINS THE BIGGEST TURN-OFF FOR SWITCHING TO AN EV Range anxiety is still a concern for company car drivers in the UK, despite the growing electric vehicle infrastructure. A new survey conducted by Venson Automotive Solutions reveals that while drivers are widely switched on to the benefits and implications of electric vehicle (EV) ownership, 69% still have concerns with the charging infrastructure. 86% of motorists surveyed said that a ‘lack of clarity in terms of ownership implications as a company car driver’ is a thing of the past, and more than two-thirds of drivers said that they have a good understanding of the costs and convenience of owning an EV. https://autovistagroup.com/news-and-insights/company-car-drivers-still-have-concerns-over-ev-range-and-infrastructure COMMUNITY The MYEV.com Question Of The Week.

Show #536 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 22nd July 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. 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. AUDI TARGETS TESLA OWNERS IN E-TRON MARKETING PUSH "Reports from the electric car community in Germany have noted that Audi has been placing promotional merchandise at Tesla Club tables during exhibitions. Demo units of the e-tron are also being parked at select Supercharger stations. " says Simon at Teslarati: "One promotional Audi e-tron unit was even photographed blocking a Supercharger stall, similar to how anti-EV drivers “ICE” an electric car charging station. With a 204-mile EPA rating, the e-tron has less range than a Model 3 Standard Plus, or even a 2012 Model S. Thus, by placing the e-tron at Superchargers, Audi could risk highlighting the e-tron’s range disadvantage to potential customers. Apart from this, Audi does not have its own charging infrastructure. The e-tron is capable of rapid charging, but the vehicle relies on third-party solutions for long-distance travel." https://www.teslarati.com/audi-etron-blocks-tesla-superchargers-advertisement/ URBAN ELECTRIC RELEASES IMAGE OF ON-STREET POP-UP CHARGER "British startup Urban Electric has released an image of its UEone, a retractable pop-up charging hub for residential on-street parking." reports ChagedEVs.com: "The company says its charger is a solution for the 50% of UK city drivers who park on the street at night. The company plans to install the units as fast charging hubs on residential streets and on-street public parking bays. The retractable units will charge vehicles overnight during off-peak hours, and are designed to minimally impact the urban streetscape. The project will integrate hub charging with the Appy parking platform to provide a seamless parking and charging experience which will include road sensors that let drivers know if a parking bay is available." https://chargedevs.com/newswire/urban-electric-releases-image-of-on-street-pop-up-charger/ BMW'S NEW CEO IS DOUBLING DOWN ON THE STRATEGY THAT GOT THE LAST CEO OUSTED "In what Automotive News is declaring a “bold way forward,” new BMW CEO Oliver Zipse is promising not to make electric cars on a platform that is not explicitly designed for their propulsion system, not because that is better for BMW’s customers but for BMW’s ease of manufacturing:" says Jalopmik today:"This is a very different approach from companies like Volkswagen, which see the future of EVs as needing dedicated platforms Batteries can be laid flat like a pancake across virtually the entire bottom of a car on a dedicated EV platform, enabling much more of them and with better weight distribution, and electric motors can be placed in much more inconspicuous spots than with a traditional piston engine." Automotive News said: "Zipse delivered a 40-minute talk at the Oxford plant, half of it devoted to why BMW shouldn’t go down the same path as Volkswagen and others in creating vehicle platforms that are uniquely electric. Instead, he said, BMW must have platforms that can go either way. That has been a topic of strategic debate inside BMW in recent years, complicated by the company’s relatively limited global production capacity. BMW in June said it will introduce 25 electrified models by 2023. Zipse was at the plant in southern England to present Mini’s first electric car, the Cooper SE. It is built on the same platform as combustion-engine cars that are moving down the same assembly line. He said the cost to adapt the plant was minimal and did not require a big effort." https://jalopnik.com/bmws-new-ceo-is-doubling-down-on-the-strategy-that-got-1836597860 2021 BMW INEXT REVEALS POLYGONAL STEERING WHEEL IN NEW TEASER "It was at the end of May when BMW hopped inside the cabin of the iNEXT to provide us with an official glimpse of the SUV’s cabin by showing off the back of the massive driver-oriented curved display. Fast forward to July 22, a new interior detail has been revealed as we get to see the electric vehicle’s all-new steering wheel that represents a departure from previous designs." according to Motor1: "The production-ready iNEXT will boast a polygonal steering wheel featuring an almost flat rim at the upper and lower sections combined with rounded corners at the sides. BMW explains they did this not just for the sake of coming out with something new, but to make it easier to figure out the steering angle based on the position on the wheel compared to a traditional circular-shaped wheel. The two-spoke steering wheel boasts optical fibers built into the side sections that light up whenever the driver needs to take control of the iNEXT or when the automated driving functions are available. " https://www.motor1.com/news/361024/2021-bmw-inext-steering-wheel/ TESLA’S (TSLA) Q2 2019 EARNINGS CALL "Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is poised to hold its second-quarter earnings call after the markets close on Wednesday. With the electric car maker exceeding expectations on its vehicle production and deliveries, all eyes are now on the company as it tries to return to profitability, which it was able to achieve in the third and fourth quarter of 2018." reports Teslarati: "As for revenue, FactSet expects Tesla to report sales of $6.5 billion in the second quarter, an improvement over the $4 billion the company reported in Q2 2018 and the $4.5 billion in the first quarter. Estimize, for its part, expects Tesla to report sales of $6.6 billion." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-q2-2019-earnings-call-wall-st-estimates/ FENIX POWER NOW PLANS TO MAKE YOUR OLD LEAF MORE LIKE A TESLA "As we’ve reported before, Fenix Power had plans to offer batteries for degraded Nissan LEAFs, and eventually other vehicles. Now, after a recent merger, it wants to do a whole lot more. By combining forces with Chargeshare Network and keeping the Fenix name, it plans to offer a range of services that can help an older LEAF and other EVs be a lot easier to use." reports CleanTechnica: "Let’s face it — there are a lot of used LEAFs out there that would make the average driver run away from EVs and not go back for a long time. By having options for older vehicles to stay on the road without having to pay Nissan an exorbitant amount, the situation is massively improved. Fenix Power will be providing new cooled and monitored batteries of 24–40 kWh to replace their aging and degraded factory packs much more affordably than Nissan does." https://cleantechnica.com/2019/07/22/with-a-merger-fenix-power-now-plans-to-make-your-old-leaf-more-like-a-tesla/ TESLA REVEALS REVOLUTIONARY NEW WIRING ARCHITECTURE "Tesla has revealed its revolutionary new wiring architecture that enables more robot automation in the manufacturing process and uses fewer materials for its upcoming cars like Model Y and Tesla Pickup truck." says Fred at Electrek: "Musk said that Model S has about 3 kilometers of wiring harnesses and Tesla brought it down to 1.5 kilometers in length for the Model 3. But that’s just the beginning. Tesla is working on a whole new wiring architecture for future vehicle platforms and they aim to bring it down to just 100 meters starting with the Model Y. In a new patent application that recently became public and was obtained by Electrek, Tesla revealed the first details of this new wiring architecture." https://electrek.co/2019/07/22/tesla-revolutionary-wiring-architecture-robots-model-y/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

MIKHAIL GROZOVSK, GLEN SUTTON and GUDJON HUGBERG BJORNSSON FORD USE VW'S ELECTRIC CAR PLATFORM Ford Motor Company and Volkswagen AG today announced they are expanding their global alliance to include electric vehicles – and will collaborate with Argo AI to in-troduce autonomous vehicle technology in the U.S. and Europe Ford will become the first additional automaker to use Volkswagen’s dedicated electric vehicle architecture and Modular Electric Toolkit – or MEB – to deliver a high-volume zero-emission vehicle in Europe starting in 2023. Ford expects to deliver more than 600,000 European vehicles using the MEB architecture over six years, with a second all-new Ford model for European customers under discussion. This supports Ford’s European strategy, which involves continuing to play on its strengths – including commercial vehicles, compelling crossovers and imported iconic vehicles such as Mustang and Explorer. Volkswagen started developing its MEB architecture in 2016, investing approximately $7 billion in this platform. The car-maker is planning to use this platform to build approximately 15 million cars for the Volkswagen Group alone in the next decade. For Ford, using Volkswagen’s MEB architecture is part of its more than $11.5 billion investment in electric vehicles worldwide – and supports Ford’s commitment to offer its European customers a broad range of electric vehicles while meeting its sustainability commitments. TESLA’S (TSLA) Q2 2019 EARNINGS CALL WITH ELON MUSK SET FOR JULY 24 "Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has announced that it would be posting its financial results for Q2 2019 after the market closes on Wednesday, July 24, 2019." reports Simon for TEslarati: "The company would be issuing a brief advisory with a link to its Q2 2019 Update Letter, which will be accessible from Tesla’s Investor Relations website. A live Q&A session is set for 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time (5:30 p.m. Eastern Time) to discuss the electric car and energy company’s financial results and outlook." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-momentum-q1-earnings-call-date-rivals-hit-roadblocks/ TESLA SUPPLIER HINTS AT DOUBLING PARTS PRODUCTION FOR MODEL 3 "precision stamping service provider China FineBlanking Technology (CFTC) - one of Tesla's suppliers from China, will reportedly double its monthly shipments for components of relays used in the Tesla Model 3 from 20,000 to 40,000 as early as August 2019." says InsideEVs: "Assuming that Tesla is able to produce on average around 5,500 Model 3 per week (up to around 7,000 peak) in California and is gearing up for 3,000 per week in China (starting with low-volume in Q4), the Tesla Factory in California would need to increase production significantly maybe to around 7,000+ per week and 90,000+ per quarter (more at peaks)." https://insideevs.com/news/359426/tesla-supplier-doubling-parts-production-model-3/ TESLA MODEL S BEATS CHEVY, TOYOTA, AND CADILLAC FOR ULTIMATE CAR OF THE YEAR HONORS MotorTrend have crowned their ultimate car of the year. "The selection and judging criteria have changed, the trophies have changed, and the vehicles most certainly have changed, but the spirit behind the Car of the Year is the same today as it was in 1949: Identify the most superlative new vehicle introduced each year." they say: "We are confident that, were we to summon all the judges and staff of the past 70 years, we would come to a rapid consensus: No vehicle we've awarded, be it Car of the Year, Import Car of the Year, SUV of the Year, or Truck of the Year, can equal the impact, performance, and engineering excellence that is our Ultimate Car of the Year winner, the 2013 Tesla Model S." "The mere fact the Tesla Model S exists at all is a testament to innovation and entrepreneurship, the very qualities that once made the American automobile industry the largest, richest, and most powerful in the world," we wrote. "That the 11 judges unanimously voted the first vehicle designed from the wheels up by a fledgling automaker the 2013 MotorTrend Car of the Year should be cause for celebration. America can still make things." And still, the better part of a decade later, there isn't an electric car that can travel as far as a Model S, nor is there a street-legal production car of any motivation that can beat a Ludicrous Model S to 60 mph, not even a Ferrari LaFerrari or Porsche 918. Meanwhile, Tesla remains among the front-runners of advanced driver assistance technology; Autopilot and Autosteer were both unveiled on the Model S." https://www.motortrend.com/news/2013-tesla-model-s-beats-chevy-toyota-cadillac-ultimate-car-of-the-year/ ELECTRIFY AMERICA TO PROVIDE HARLEY-DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE OWNERS WITH NATIONWIDE CHARGING Electrify America today announced an agreement with Harley-Davidson to provide owners of its first all-electric motorcycle, The Harley-Davidson LiveWire with the per minute equivalent of 500 kilowatt-hours of complimentary charging over two years at Electrify America stations nationwide. LiveWire motorcycle customers who purchase models manufactured between August 2019 and July 2021 can enroll and manage their charging plan through the newly launched Electrify America mobile app, available for both Android and iPhone.

In fact, the Bavarian automaker has sent official spy photos of the iX3 – a concept that was introduced in 2018 but now confirmed for production next year – together with two other EVs i4 and iNext." reports Motor1.com: "BMWBlog got a bit more information about the all-new electric crossover. According to its source, the iX3 is based on the G08 platform, which underpins the long-wheelbase X3. Even better, the iX3 will allegedly have a rear-wheel-drive configuration in the United States. BMWBlog also got the supposed moniker of the iX3 – sDrive75, with "75" representing the 75 kWh capacity of its battery pack. Production of the iX3 will be in China and will be exported globally from there, including the U.S." https://www.motor1.com/news/359613/bmw-ix3-rear-wheel-drive-us/ SECOND-GENERATION NISSAN LEAF LANDS IN AUSTRALIA "The new Nissan LEAF (the 40 kWh version) finally makes its way to Australia, where it will be sold from August 1, 2019 at 89 dealers" says InsideEVs: "To streamline the EV sales, Nissan decided to offer only a single high-spec grade, available from $49,990 AUD ($34,950) plus on-road costs. Stephen Lester, Nissan Australia managing director said that the company is expecting to see a spike in EV sales in Australia." https://insideevs.com/news/359462/second-generation-nissan-leaf-lands-australia/ LG CHEM CONSIDERING BUILDING SECOND U.S. EV BATTERY PLANT "LG Chem is considering building a second U.S. factory, three people familiar with the matter said, accelerating a race to add capacity to meet growing global demand for green vehicles." according to NDTV.com: "LG Chem, one of the leading EV battery makers in the world that counts General Motors and Volkswagen among its customers, is weighing investing about 2 trillion won ($1.70 billion) in the plant that could begin production in 2022, one of the people said. Kentucky and Tennessee are among the candidates for the plant's site, the person said. A decision on the plant's site is expected to be made by the end of this month." https://auto.ndtv.com/news/lg-chem-considering-building-second-u-s-ev-battery-plant-2068950 ELECTRIC CARS ARE DIFFICULT TO LIVE WITH ACCORDING TO JAGUAR BOSS Rawdon Glover, UK managing director for Jaguar: “I’d like to see a faster roll-out of infrastructure in terms of scale, of course, especially in light of the government’s stated Road to Zero ambitions, but I also think there need to be steps to make what we have today more usable. I’m not finger-pointing: it’s clear that we have a role to play in that, as well as the Government and the incumbent suppliers. But we have to make it easier to live with electric cars, from ensuring geographical coverage to raising standards so that charge points always work to introducing a system where you can have one card – ideally your credit card – to pay wherever you are. Having so many providers, each with their own payment systems that you need to sign up to in their own unique way, presents an unnecessary hurdle. There needs to be leadership from the Government that we can all get behind.” https://insideevs.com/news/359330/jaguar-director-ev-still-not-easy/ Send me your EV questions: hello@evnewsdaily or use social media.

Show #509 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 25th June 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. 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. BMW VOWS TO REV UP ELECTRIC CAR ROLLOUT "German high-end carmaker BMW said Tuesday it would accelerate its plans to build new electric models, as the whole industry comes under pressure to meet strict emissions regulations.: said Yahoo News today: "The Munich-based manufacturer will offer 25 electrified vehicles in 2023, "two years earlier than originally planned," chief executive Harald Krueger said in a statement. Of those, more than half will be all-electric while the remainder will be hybrids, BMW said." Meanwhile Motor1.com says: "It’s a big day at BMW. Today the company is hosting the NextGen Conference at its headquarters in Germany. There, the Vision M Next concept (which could make it to production), 5 Series experimental electric vehicle, and E-Box electric motorcycle debuted. But there's still more news coming out of Munich. BMW Chief of Engineering, Klaus Frohlich, in a roundtable interview with journalists, including Senior Editor Jeff Perez, says BMW's M division is betting big on battery power. The company will introduce plug-in hybrid M performance vehicles in the near future." "The BMW M Next concept is unquestionably the highlight of the company's big "Next" conference. It looks like a modern M1 and has a 600 horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain, so how could it not? Yet BMW also revealed something with an even more powerful and potentially more interesting powertrain, and it was wrapped up in a current BMW 5 Series body." writes Autoblog: "There are a couple other interesting tidbits about Project BEV, such as the fact that BMW got everything packaged into the 5 Series without taking up passenger space. That's seriously impressive that BMW could get three motors and their accompanying batteries, cooling equipment and more stuffed into a production car that was never designed for it in the first place." And finally via Automotive News Europe: This year, the automaker will start production of the electric Mini at its plant in Oxford, England. This will be followed in 2020 by the electric BMW iX3 midsize SUV, to be built in Shenyang, China, for global markets. Following in 2021 will be the iNEXT crossover, which will be made in Dingolfing, Germany, and the i4 midsize sedan, set to be assembled in Munich. BMW currently offers plug-in hybrid versions of the 3- and 7-series sedans and X3 and X5 crossovers. This summer, the company will release plug-in hybrid versions of the 5 series and 2-series Active Tourer with next-generation technology and a longer electric range. These will be followed next year by the X1 and 3-series Touring plug-in hybrids." https://news.yahoo.com/bmw-vows-rev-electric-car-rollout-083048012.html https://www.autoblog.com/2019/06/25/bmw-5-series-711-horsepower-electric-monster/ https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/bmw-plug-hybrids-automatically-switch-ev-mode-2020 THE LIGHTYEAR ONE IS A SOLAR-POWERED CAR WITH AN EYE-WATERING PRICE "Dutch clean mobility company Lightyear today debuted its long-range prototype, the Lightyear One, with a range of 725 km (450 miles) and a small battery that can be charged directly via sunlight, or from conventional charging stations." reports Engadget: "The idea is that you could take the car on long roadtrips because it isn't dependent on charging infrastructure the way that traditional electric vehicles like Teslas are. The solar panels add an additional charge of up to 12 km/hour (7.5 miles/hour)." "The reservation fee for one of the first 500 cars is a hefty €119,000, equivalent to $135,000, and delivery isn't expected until 2021. This makes the Lightyear more of a purchasable concept than a production vehicle. But if you've got a spare few hundred thousand dollars lying around and you want to help Lightyear publicly test their first production car, now you have another option for environmentally friendly transport." the Verge says: "It will support up to 60kW of fast charging, giving it 507 km of range per hour of charge. The car has a total of four electric motors, which will allow it to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh in 10 seconds. Lightyear was founded by a group of former University of Eindhoven students who won the World Solar Challenge race with their “Stella” solar cars." Lightyear Says: "“Unlike conventional solar panels, our cells function independently. This means that even if part of the roof or hood is in shadow, the other cells continue to efficiently collect solar energy. In fact, our solar cells provide about 20% more energy than traditional ones.” https://www.engadget.com/2019/06/25/solar-powered-car-lightyear-one/ https://newdawn.lightyear.one/ TESLA TO OFFER COLLISION REPAIR AT SERVICE CENTERS AND THROUGH MOBILE SERVICE "Tesla’s Mobile Service and Service Centers are now performing on-site and in-house collision repairs to include paint scuffs, scratches, minor dents, and bolt-on replacements such as bumpers, fenders, doors, and side mirrors. Moving to expand repairs done directly by Tesla ensures quality work, quick service, and transparent pricing for owners of its all-electric vehicles." according to Teslarati: "These latest options can be scheduled using the Tesla app via the “Collision Repair” option under the Service menu." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-collision-repair-bodyshop-mobile-service-centers/ THE NEW LOTUS ELECTRIC HYPERCAR COULD BE CALLED 'EVIJA' "When Lotus first unveiled its plans for an all-new, all-electric hypercar back in April, code named Type 130, a good number of you balked at the name. Don’t expect that to stick around, though. The car will almost certainly bear a name-name, and it could very well be the Lotus Evija." says Jalopnik: "The Lotus Evija makes sense, too, as all of Lotus’s cars have begun with the letter “E” since 1956, according to Auto Express. Examples include the Esprit, Evora, Elise, Exige and Elan. " https://jalopnik.com/the-new-lotus-electric-hypercar-could-be-called-evija-1835834459 2019 NISSAN LEAF E+ PRICED FROM £35,895 IN THE UK Prices for the new range-topping Nissan LEAF e+ Tekna start from £35,895, including the £3,500 Government Grant. With the Nissan LEAF e+, the newly-developed 62kWh battery pack offers 55% more capacity and approximately 25% improvement in energy density while retaining a similar shape and size to the 40kWh LEAF battery pack. This has given the LEAF e+ a significantly increased driving range of up to 239 miles (WLTP combined mode) on a single battery charge. Nissan PR says: "Fine-tuned since the launch of the original LEAF in 2011, an internal thermal management system is also installed in every LEAF, ensuring that fast charging performance is optimised for specific driving conditions. The system also ensures that the quality and longevity of the battery is maximised, giving customers peace of mind and high levels of performance" COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

ALREADY MORE THAN 10,000 REGISTRATIONS FOR THE ID.3 "At a press event held yesterday in Berlin, Volkswagen launched pre-booking in Europe for the first model in its new full-electric ID. model family, the ID.3. Customers’ interest in the special edition, the ID.3 1ST, which is limited to 30,000 vehicles, is significantly exceeding the brand’s expectations. Sometimes, the IT systems are unable to handle the large number of users accessing the system at the same time. This leads to long waiting times and interruptions in the registration process in some markets. Volkswagen is working hard to eliminate the hitches. Nevertheless, more than 10,000 registrations were received throughout Europe during the first 24 hours." VW ZWICKAU PLANT ON SCHEDULE AS ID.3 ROLLS OUT "The transformation of the VW Zwickau site into a purely electric car plant is fully on schedule. According to VW, more than 200 ID.3 pre-series vehicles have already been successfully produced." reports electrive.com: "Volkswagen claims that this is the world’s first electric transformation of a large conventional car factory. In the future, the Zwickau plant will only make e-vehicles based on the Modular Electric Drive Toolkit (MEB) and have a production capacity of 330,000 vehicles a year." https://www.electrive.com/2019/05/10/vw-zwickau-plant-on-schedule-as-id-3-rolls-out/ DYSON PATENTS AND MEMO OFFER A CRYPTIC TEASE OF ITS FIRST EV "Sir James Dyson has revealed some early details about the company's electric car in a memo sent to employees and seen by Bloomberg and The Telegraph. A set of patents that recently became public also includes diagrams that make it seem like the vehicle will look like a Range Rover. " according to Engadget today: "While we might have to wait a bit before seeing a prototype, the company has reportedly sunk billions into the project, which already has 500 personnel. It's designed in house, after all, and will be manufactured -- in a facility in Singapore -- and sold by Dyson itself. Details unfortunately remain scant despite the sketches, but the billionaire's memo said testing will ramp up in June and that the EV is on track for launch in 2021." BP CHARGEMASTER PLANS 100 NEW 150 KW CHARGERS IN UK THIS YEAR "British charging company BP Chargemaster (BP acquired the Chargemaster in 2018) announced a plan to install 400 ultra-fast charging stations in the UK by 2021. The first batch of 100 150 kW chargers will be installed by the end of 2019, at 50 locations (most likely at BP fuel stations) starting from July." writes Mark Kane for InsideEVs.com. Whereas Autocar says: "The rollout will help future-proof the UK’s charging network, as currently very few EVs are capable of charging at 150kW. Audi’s e-tron is one that is, and its 95kWh battery can be charged to 80% in around 30 minutes. Companies such as Pod Point, Fastned and Ionity all claim to be rolling out chargers capable of supplying power at 150kW and above, but there’s currently only a handful that are operational in the UK. BP Chargemaster’s announcement is the biggest commitment so far as a result. " https://insideevs.com/news/348682/bp-chargemaster-100-new-chargers-uk/ https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/bp-chargemaster-install-100-ultra-fast-ev-chargers-year SEAT ROLLS OUT ITS ELECTRIC OFFENSIVE IN BARCELONA SEAT celebrates its 69 years of history and is participating this year in the 100th edition of the Automobile Barcelona, where it has rolled out its vision of electric mobility with its two new concept cars – the first ever fully electric SEAT el-Born and the SEAT Minimo, a forward-looking approach that aims to become the companion of cities and revolutionis urban mobility. Moreover, CUPRA is also displaying the new CUPRA Formentor, the brand’s own first model, as well as the e-Racer, the first ever fully electric touring racecar. The el-Born concept car is the first SEAT that has been conceived as an electric vehicle and it is scheduled for market launch in 2020. SEAT will be the Volkswagen Group’s second brand to make a model on the MEB platform, whose assembly line is set to turn out a new generation of vehicles based on the market’s most advanced electric and connectivity technology. With a practical range of between 300 and 420 km thanks to its 58 kWh battery, this vehicle is ready to travel beyond urban limits. BMW'S ELECTRIC SUV SPIED UP CLOSE WITH INTERIOR SHOWING "BMW's next electric vehicle, which will likely be named either the i5 or, appropriately enough, the iNEXT, was spied during testing. These photos don't reveal a lot about the exterior styling of the upcoming electrified crossover, but we do have our first look at the interior of the new BMW. At this point, we have absolutely no details about the powertrain in this new vehicle. All we have are these excellent close-up photos from our spy photographer." according to Cam for Motor1.com: "while we've gotten used to referring to this project as either the i5 or the iNEXT, the steering wheel appears to say "iNEXT" on it if you look closely. It's a small, blue, rhombus-shaped badge placed below the poorly-disguised BMW emblem." https://www.motor1.com/news/349028/bmw-inext-interior-spy-shots/amp/ ENVISION AESC'S NCM 811 BATTERIES TO EXCEED 300 WH/KG IN 2020 "Envision AESC, formerly AESC (Automotive Energy Supply Corporation) acquired by Envision Group from Nissan (which still holds some 20% of shares), announced new 5th generation NCM 811 batteries." says InsideEVs: "Over nine years, AESC supplied more than 430,000 battery packs for electric cars (more than 90% to Nissan), having three manufacturing plants around the world with a total capacity of 7.5 GWh annually. In the longer term, the company hopes to decrease the battery cost to $50/kWh in 2025" OPEL CORSA FULLY ELECTRIC VERSION READY TO ROLL "The new generation of the Opel Corsa will celebrate its world premiere on 4 June and can be ordered as a fully electric version from then on. In an interview, Opel CEO Michael Lohscheller promised an “attractive price” for the E-Corsa but did not specify any details." says Carrie at electrive: "At the end of last year, Opel announced its intention to open the order books for the new electric Corsa and the Grandland X as plug-in hybrids in the first half of 2019. The Corsa is likely to have the same technical data as the DS 3 Crossback. Lohscheller promised a competitive price for the market launch, which could be as early as December: “With the new Corsa, we are making e-mobility affordable for a wide range of customers. This will be a real “Volks” electric car.” https://www.electrive.com/2019/05/10/opel-corsa-fully-electric-version-ready-to-roll/ FERRARI HYBRID SUPERCAR CONFIRMED EVO reports on Ferrari adding batteries to their next car: "Ferrari has confirmed it will reveal a new V6 hybrid supercar in a matter of just weeks, after CEO Louis Camilleri made mention of the new model’s imminent arrival during the firm’s Q1 investors’ financial call. The new supercar will be the first series-production hybrid from Ferrari, after the strictly limited LaFerrari, and will combine its new electrified components with a new V6 power unit." https://www.evo.co.uk/ferrari/22636/ferrari-hybrid-supercar-confirmed-mclaren-has-been-put-on-notice TESPLAYER BRINGS SPOTIFY ACCESS TO TESLA MODEL S, 3, X OWNERS "Tesla owners finally have a way to play Spotify in their Model S, Model X and Model 3 thanks to third-party, browser-based app ‘TesPlayer‘ that can manage playlists and play music directly from the vehicle’s center touchscreen." according to Simon at Teslarati "Tesla uses Spotify as its provider of choice in Europe, though vehicles in the United States are equipped with Slacker Radio instead. While Slacker is impressive on its own right, it falls short when compared to Spotify and its insanely vast plethora of content." https://www.teslarati.com/how-to-play-spotify-tesla-music-streaming/ TESLA MODEL 3 TRACKER: CUMULATIVE PRODUCTION EXCEEDS 250,000 InsideEVs has been looking at the Bloomberg Tracker and Model 3 just hit a big number: "Today, Bloomberg’s Tesla Model 3 Tracker shows for the very first time that a quarter million Tesla Model 3 have been produced cumulatively. The counter stands at 250,276 Model 3 produced, out of which about 218,612 was confirmed by Tesla at the end of March 2019. The Tracker assumes that another 31,664 were produced in almost 40 days (more than 800 per day)." COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Read More About Patreon here EVne.ws/patreon Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 26th March 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today, and picked out the best ones to save you time. Welcome to the podcast new Patreon subscribers. BILL BURGAR and new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER KIRIVAN YAM 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. BMW INEXT, I4 AND IX3 BMW wants you to know it’s getting serious about electric vehicles. After all, it’s not every day an automaker sends out its own “spy” photos attached to a press release divulging various details." Says Christopher Smith for Motor1.com US Edition: "Getting a bit more specific, the photo above (and the gallery below) features the almost-primetime-ready BMW iX3 SUV as well as the i4 four-door and iNext crossover. Of these, the iX3 garners our immediate attention because it’s confirmed as entering production next year. That means we’ll likely see the compact SUV revealed later this year, showing us its solid kidney grille and fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology and boasting a range of over 249 miles. BMW also says it can access 150-kilowatt charging stations, which supports the rumours we’ve heard that it can be fully recharged in just a half hour. BMW does tell us the i4 should have a range of over 373 miles while also offering enough punch to hit 62 mph in four seconds flat. We’re also told that i4 production will begin in 2021." https://uk.motor1.com/news/315395/bmw-previews-ix3-i4-inext-ev/ MACK SHOWCASES LATEST HYBRID CLASS 8 "Mack Trucks announced it recently displayed its second-generation zero-emission capable Class 8 drayage truck at the California Air Resources Board’s Low Carbon Transportation Heavy-Duty Showcase in Sacramento, Calif." says TT News.com: "The plug-in hybrid-electric truck, which is based on a Mack Pinnacle axle back daycab, has been operating in revenue service with a customer drayage fleet for more than 12 months. he second-generation truck relies on an adaptive self-learning algorithm — that records the load, speed and power and torque demand, analyzes that data and combines it with GPS location — to identify and create zero-emission zones in order to maximize the all-electric operation." https://www.ttnews.com/articles/mack-showcases-latest-hybrid-class-8 DAIMLER SAYS ESPRINTER READY FOR MARKET LAUNCH "Final winter tests show: the eSprinter is ready for its market launch. #Daimler #eMobility" "With a range of around 150 kilometres when configured with a battery capacity of 55 kWh, the eSprinter is perfectly designed for inner-city short-radius distribution." "Why did we go to Sweden for testing? For several weeks the development team subjected the fully-electric van to a true endurance test. At temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius with icy roads and deep snow, the eSprinter proved its operability under extreme conditions." "The eSprinter is equipped with an integrated fast-charging function with which it can recharge around 80 % of its energy in 30 minutes – this is a great advantage in the daily routine of a van which must function reliably whatever the temperature. #eMobility" "The eSprinter was subjected to its final winter endurance tests before it follows the eVito onto the market in the second half of 2019. Initially, it will be available as a panel van with a high roof and a permissible gross vehicle weight of 3,5t. Maximum load volume is 10.5m³." https://twitter.com/Daimler/status/1110451579784757248 TESLA, ELON MUSK WIN DISMISSAL OF LAWSUIT OVER MODEL 3 PRODUCTION "A federal judge in San Francisco dismissed for the second time a securities fraud lawsuit brought by Tesla Inc shareholders alleging that the company made misleading comments about the production status of its Model 3." Writes Alexandria Sage for Reuters: "U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer sided with Tesla, granting the electric vehicle company dismissal of the lawsuit brought in October 2017. It said shareholders bought “artificially inflated” shares because Musk and other executives misled them with bullish statements about the production ramp of the Model 3, failing to disclose that the company was “woefully unprepared” for the vehicle’s production."

Says InsideEVs.com: "Germany and Norway are the top two markets by volume, followed by the Netherlands, France and Switzerland. There is a high correlation between countries with the highest number of registrations and highest number of orders. February, as the first month of volume deliveries, was just a preview of what is happening as the numbers for Norway alone are already similar to all of Europe the past month, with a few days to go still." https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-3-registrations-february-2019/ Tom Randall on Bloomberg today said: "Tesla has made a big splash in Europe, but it's still only selling the two most expensive versions of the Model 3. The average selling price is a whopping $72k, according to data from the Netherlands, which is the only country that reports sale prices in real time." Despite a $72k selling price, the Model 3 is on track to outsell the next two best-selling EVs combined this quarter (VW Golf, Nissan Leaf), according to public data from Netherlands+Norway+Spain. And the Model 3 only arrived mid-February https://eu-evs.com/ Tesla has yet to introduce the long-range rear-wheel drive, standard range, and right-hand-drive versions. In the U.S., the standard range is now by far the most popular, according to data from the Bloomberg tracker. A big question is cannibalization of the pricier Model S and Model X. Europeans prefer smaller cars, and so far the substitution has been significant. That could strain the program and take a bigger hit to margins when the cheaper models arrive. Several people are pointing out that Q1 is typically a slow quarter for Model S & X. Even so, they're seriously underperforming previous Q1s in Norway and Netherlands. There are plenty of things that could explain it, but it's a fair comparison. Follow his here: @srandall TESLA MODEL 3 OWNER SHARES SUPERCHARGER V3 INSIGHTS AFTER FULL CHARGING SESSION "A Model 3 owner recently shared some insights about the behavior of Tesla’s Supercharger V3 following a full charging session. According to the Tesla owner, the company’s new charging solution was able to charge his vehicle from 9% to 90% in just 35 minutes." Reports Simon at Teslarati: "Supercharger V3 immediately showed a charge rate of 255 kW as soon as the Model 3 was plugged in. This rate stayed on for around 15% before the charge rate started to normalize at around 177 kW. 9% – 50% = 12 minutes 9% – 60% = 15 minutes 9% – 70% = 19 minutes 9% – 80% = 25 minutes 9% – 90% = 35 minutes" https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-supercharger-v3-insights/ SURVEY: DOUBLE PLUG-IN GRANT TO SHIFT COMPANY FLEETS INTO GREENER GEAR "Fleet managers could shift their buying power to support electric vehicles (EVs) in their droves if government hiked the amount of cash on offer under its Plug-In Grant scheme, according to the results of a new YouGov survey seen by BusinessGreen." According to Madeleine Green today: "The survey, which was commissioned by environmental law firm ClientEarth and questioned 368 UK-based fleet managers, found almost three-quarters would be more likely to invest in zero emission electric vehicles if government grants doubled from £3,500 to £7,000 per car. Encouraging companies with large commercial fleets, such as delivery or logistics firms, is seen as a swift way to eliminate a chunk of airborne pollutants from city centres." https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news/3073116/survey-double-plug-in-grant-to-shift-company-fleets-into-greener-gear 'COAL IS ON THE WAY OUT': STUDY FINDS FOSSIL FUEL NOW PRICIER THAN SOLAR OR WIND "Around three-quarters of US coal production is now more expensive than solar and wind energy in providing electricity to American households, according to a new study." Report UK Guardian today. Mike O’Boyle, the co-author of the report for Energy Innovation, a renewables analysis firm: "Even without major policy shift we will continue to see coal retire pretty rapidly. Our analysis shows that we can move a lot faster to replace coal with wind and solar. The fact that so much coal could be retired right now shows we are off the pace. We’ve seen we are at the ‘coal crossover’ point in many parts of the country but this is actually more widespread than previously thought,” O’Boyle said. “There is a huge potential for wind and solar to replace coal, while saving people money.” COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

PRODUCER IAN GRIFFITHS, and EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS NATHAN GORE-BROWN and RALPH JENSON CANADA ANNOUNCES NEW $5,000 INCENTIVE FOR ELECTRIC CARS "As part of its new budget, the Canadian federal government has announced a new $5,000 incentive for electric cars that cost less than $45,000, however, it excludes Tesla vehicles." Says Fred at Electrek today: "Some Canadian provinces already have EV incentive programs but unlike the US, there has never been a federal program to reduce the cost of electric vehicles. With the launch of their latest budget, the Canadian government has now announced a new $5,000 incentive program that is not yet completed. The $45,000 cut off point covers vehicles like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt EV, and Hyundai Ioniq Electric, but all of Tesla’s vehicles are excluded since the base Model 3 starts at $47,000 CAD." The budget says: "“To encourage more Canadians to buy zero-emission vehicles, Budget 2019 proposes to provide $300 million over three years, starting in 2019–20, to Transport Canada to introduce a new federal purchase incentive of up to $5,000 for electric battery or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of less than $45,000. Program details to follow.”" https://electrek.co/2019/03/19/canada-incentive-electric-cars-tesla-excluded/ BMW INEXT PRODUCTION SUV SPIED PLAYING IN THE SNOW com are delighted to get a long video of the new electric BMW: "Our spies were once again in the right place at the right time and had the chance to film the production version of BMW’s iNext electric SUV testing under heavy winter conditions in Sweden. This 5:47-minute video gives us a pretty good look at the vehicle’s dynamics with plenty of accelerations and even some high-speed cornering maneuvers." "The iNext, which might end up being called the i5, will be the electric equivalent of today’s BMW X5 in terms of its dimensions. It will be the Bavarian brand’s most technologically advanced vehicle when it debuts in 2021. Before it, the company will launch the iX3 and i4, in 2019 and 2020 respectively. https://www.motor1.com/news/314022/bmw-inext-spied-video/ GERMANY IS BIGGEST ELECTRIC CAR MARKET IN EUROPE SO FAR IN 2019 "Sales reports for the first two months of 2019 shows that Germany is now the biggest market for all-electric cars in Europe, dethroning Norway." Reports Mark Kane for InsideEV: "It had to happen at some point anyway, as Norway is so much smaller than Germany in population. Norway – at best – can double its BEV sales, reaching 100% BEV market share, while Germany can increase 50-times from less than 2% share to 100%." According to data compiled by industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de) the top 5 countries in Europe ranked by electric car sales for 2019 so far are: Germany – ≈9,300 Norway – ≈7,900 France – ≈5,900 Netherlands – ≈4,600 UK – ≈2,100 https://insideevs.com/germany-biggest-ev-market-europe/ VOLKSWAGEN THREATENS TO LEAVE GERMANY’S CAR LOBBY VDA IN SPAT OVER E-CARS German carmaker Volkswagen has threatened to quit the country’s influential carmaker lobby group VDA as a dispute over the national car industry’s approach to managing the transition in the transport sector towards low-carbon technologies escalates, the newspaper Welt am Sonntag reports. According to the article, Volkswagen wants the lobby group to budge from its rigid insistence on “technological openness” in the transition and to fully focus instead on electric vehicles. According to cleanenergywire.org: "Volkswagen last week announced it would further accelerate its already ambitious rollout plans for electric mobility. The company that still grapples with the fallout of the dieselgate scandal over manipulated emissions values plans to produce more than 20 million e-cars in the next decade and become fully CO2-neutral by 2050. " https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/volkswagen-threatens-leave-germanys-car-lobby-vda-spat-over-e-cars Penske Tests Fuso eCanter Electric Truck In California "Daimler delivered the first Fuso eCanter electric truck to Penske Truck Leasing for urban delivery in California." Reports Mark Kane for InsideEVs today: "In December, Penske received also the first out of ten Freightliner eM2s for testing and is waiting for the 10 Freightliner eCascadia heavy-duty trucks. All the vehicles are to be evaluated in real-world service by various companies to prepare for truck electrification." https://insideevs.com/penske-truck-fuso-ecanter-electric-truck/ CHINA'S EVERGRANDE SAYS IT WILL START MAKING ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN JUNE "Chinese property firm Evergrande Group will start producing its first electric vehicles in June as part of a goal to become the world's largest new energy vehicle (NEV) company within the next three to five years, according to its chairman." Says a Reuters report today: "Hui Ka Yan made the comments at a conference in the eastern city of Tianjin over the weekend, according to a statement published on the company's website on Tuesday.He also said that Evergrande plans to start selling its first electric vehicle model globally "soon," which will use electric car production technology from Swedish car makers Saab and Koenigsegg, and drive systems from Netherlands' e-Traction, according to the statement." https://www.autoblog.com/2019/03/19/china-evergrande-ev-production/ AUDI Q2 E-TRON ELECTRIC CAR CAUGHT TESTING IN THE SNOW "New spy shots provide the very first look at the Audi Q2 E-Tron, which is the fully electric version of the brand’s compact crossover. This one wears some snow as extra concealment, but the images still provide an excellent look at the upcoming EV." According to Chris Bruce for InsideEVs.com today: "Powertrain specs for the electric model are a complete mystery at this point. Speculation indicates the company is aiming for at least a 310-mile (500-kilometer) range on a charge. A recent report suggests that Audi might only sell the Q2 E-Tron in China, and the company might make a long-wheelbase L model exclusively for that market, too." https://insideevs.com/audi-q2-e-tron-electric-car-spy-photo/ LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND INFORMATION IS PREVENTING MOTORISTS FROM TAKING THE EV PLUNGE Conflicting and confusing information on the latest generation of battery electric vehicles has created a ‘knowledge gap’ for potential buyers, holding them back from choosing an EV as their next purchase, a new White Paper from the UK’s leading consumer champion and new car buying platform, What Car? has found. This is despite 2019 being set to become the year of the electric vehicle, with up to 20 new models scheduled to be launched. Meanwhile, whatcar.com traffic data suggests public interest in EVs is at record levels. In a study of over 9000 motorists, What Car? found 8.4% are already considering a fully electric car as their next vehicle. The What Car? What Fuel? comparison tool, with 80,000 users, also found EVs are already an optimal choice for one in 10 drivers. In comparison, the UK market share of fully electric vehicles was only 0.7% in 2018, meaning electric vehicle sales are achieving just 7% of their sales potential.

Can You Help Me Fight The Fossils? Read More About Patreon here EVne.ws/patreon Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 7th February 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I can find today, and picked out the ones I think you need to know about. 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. Trevor in Washington asked me about future shipments of the Model 3's after i reported on the first load to be delivered yesterday. As far as I know, there is a car carrier leaving California around once every 5 days - Glovis Captain (arrived yesterday), Glovis Cosmos, Grand Aurora, CsCC Europ , Glovis Courage. The Morning Cindy is on her on way to Shanghai. If you know more, email me and I’ll pass it on, hello@evnewsdaily.com MERCEDES-BENZ COULD BE SUPPLYING TESLA WITH ELECTRIC VANS It's always nice when the listeners do the work for me, it means I can kick back and put my feet up! I wish. And Partner of the Podcast Sascha Pallenberg was tweeting this morning about the Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche and something he said about a potential partnership with Tesla. Now it may have been in German but Sascha kindly translated: "Our CEO Dieter Zetsche just confirmed during the annual #Daimler pressconference that #Tesla is interested in our #MercedesBenz eSprinter for their service fleet. Ongoing talks..." @sascha_p So we're talking about the eSprinter here. Jerome Guillen, Tesla’s President of Automotive, is also former Daimler. On the Tesla earnings call Elon Musk said his focus was ono improving service including Tesla Ranger Service. Most recently I've seen pics of them using Model S's, but this would be a proper electric van. This sounds like a supply deal for Tesla to use Mercedes-Benz vans rather than some sort of collaboration project. The eSprinter has a 55kWh hour pack and 93 miles (150km) of range which might not be enough. Let me remind of you an Elon Musk tweet from 19th November 2018: "Lot on our plate, so it’s either get van gliders (no battery, powertrain or compute tech) from Daimler & produce sooner or do all & produce later. Not a big difference to total vehicles produced either way. Priority list is Model Y, solar roof tiles, pickup, semi, Roadster." And: "Maybe interesting to work with Daimler/Mercedes on an electric Sprinter. That’s a great van. We will inquire." TESLA MODEL 3 GETS ANOTHER PRICE REDUCTION "Not long ago, Tesla reduced its prices by $2,000 in an attempt to assist buyers after the U.S. federal tax credit entered its initial sunset phase" reports InsideEVs, and now: "When the Model 3 Mid Range first arrived, it was priced at $46,000. The price dropped recently to $44,000, and now it’s down to $42,900. Tesla is moving closer and closer to that $35,000 price point, and the base model has yet to arrive. As for the rest of the Model 3 lineup, the Long Range Dual Motor is priced at $49,900 and the Performance model now comes in at $60,900. In reply to a question on the above Twitter thread, Musk said Tesla is doing everything it can to get to the $35,000 base Model 3. Elon Musk tweeted that the car starts at “~$35k (after ~$8k of credits & fuel savings).”" https://insideevs.com/tesla-model-3-price-reduction/ 2019 VW PASSAT FACELIFT DEBUTS IN EUROPE WITH PLENTY OF TECH "After Volkswagen gave China an all-new Passat last year and the United States a not-so-new Passat last month, it’s now Europe’s turn to meet the refreshed midsize sedan. The plug-in hybrid Passat GTE (pictured below, on the left) has been updated as well and can now do up to 34 miles (55 kilometers) in pure electric mode per the more realistic WLTP cycle" reports Adrian Padeanu for Motor1.com: "For the sake of comparison, the pre-facelift Passat GTE only did 31 miles (50 km) using the now defunct NEDC procedure." https://www.motor1.com/news/304079/2019-vw-passat-europe-reveal/ NEW BMW 7 SERIES PLUG-IN HYBRID LAUNCHES IN SPRING AT £76,815 "BMW has revealed the new plug-in hybrid versions of its 7 Series saloon, which will go on sale in the UK this spring. The luxury limo will be available in a choice of long- and short-wheelbase guises, with prices starting at £76,815." according to James Fossdyke for the UK version of Motor1.com: "That money will buy you the standard-wheelbase 745e xDrive, which combines a 3-litre six-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor to create a 389 bhp powertrain capable of 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds and a 155-mph top speed. Thanks to a larger battery than found in the old 7 Series hybrid, the new model offers an all-electric range of between 34 and 36 miles despite the new, more stringent economy test. The car also uses the eight-speed automatic gearbox as a generator, taking the energy otherwise wasted during deceleration to recharge the battery and further exploiting its zero-emission potential. In Hybrid mode, the car will do 68 mph on electric power alone, with the petrol engine taking over above that speed, but in Electric mode, that top speed is stretched to 87 mph." Here's the interesting thing about performance - 0-62mph for the fastest version is 5.1 seconds, the Tesla Model S is 3.1 unless you spec Ludicrous mode. https://uk.motor1.com/news/303916/bmw-7-series-plug-in-hybrid/ BMW iNEXT IN PRODUCTION SPEC MAKES AN UNDERCOVER APPEARANCE IN SWEDEN "Last fall, BMW showed off its iNEXT electric crossover concept packed full of fanciful design and high-tech features. The company promised it for 2021, and we figured we wouldn't see much of it for a while. But instead, BMW just released images of the production model undergoing cold weather testing in Sweden." reports Autoblog.com: "The front fascia is more upright and blunt, and the hood is flatter, resulting in a sharper transition between the two. BMW still isn't saying much about the production iNEXT's feature set except that it will be fully electric and feature all-wheel drive." https://www.autoblog.com/2019/02/05/bmw-inext-production-test-model-photos/#slide-7513711 LAGONDA ‘ALL-TERRAIN’ ELECTRIC CONCEPT SET FOR GENEVA DEBUT "Since the Lagonda brand’s revival in 2011 we’ve seen only a hint of what the British luxury firm is capable of...last year’s Vision Concept revealed at the Geneva motor show." says evo: "At this year’s show we’ll see another, much clearer indication of Lagonda’s intentions, with the All-Terrain Concept – a car that will eventually go into production. while a solitary teaser image shows that the All-Terrain takes several design cues from last year’s Vision Concept, it clearly cuts a taller and more imposing form than the low-slung, one-box Vision. We learned last year that Lagonda’s first two all-electric production vehicles will share a platform with the Aston Martin DBX (itself an SUV), with an electric motor per wheel allowing for full torque-vectoring, and no doubt some impressive on-paper performance figures." https://www.evo.co.uk/news/22235/lagonda-all-terrain-electric-concept-set-for-geneva-debut PORSCHE EXPANDS CHARGING SERVICE IN EUROPE TO 49,000 CHARGING POINTS "Porsche is expanding its Porsche Charging Service – launched in May 2018 – to five new countries, which will enable access to more than 49,000 charging points under single contract, through Porsche ID card or smartphone app." reports Mark Kane for InsideEVs.com "“In Germany, the fee for using the Porsche Charging Service is €2.50 per month. The costs for actual charging come on top of this: these depend on the provider as well as the amount of power charged. The prices are shown in detail and also according to power class/charging speed if wished. The app can be used on all mobile devices with iOS or Android operating system. The service is generally available to all drivers of hybrid or electric vehicles. It is not limited to Porsche sports cars. Registration is possible via www.porsche.com/connect-store.”" https://insideevs.com/porsche-charging-europe-49000-points/ LYFT ADDS ELECTRIC VEHICLES, 'GREEN MODE' TO RIDE-HAILING APP "Your chances of riding in an electric vehicle just went up: Lyft users will soon be able to request a zero-emission or hybrid vehicle directly from the home screen of the app." according to Sasha Lekach for Mashable: "Using the new setting, passengers can request an electric vehicle through the app and get matched with a battery-powered (or hybrid) car for their ride. Lyft says the new feature will be rolled out to other cities after the Seattle pilot." https://mashable.com/article/lyft-electric-vehicles-green-mode/?europe=true#8OIiWF8YeGqq DHL EXPANDS GREEN FLEET WITH 63 WORKHORSE ELECTRIC DELIVERY VANS DHL is preparing to roll out a new fleet of electric delivery vans that will serve U.S. markets. The fleet of 63 NGEN-1000 electric delivery cargo vans are produced by equipment manufacturer Workhorse Group(WKHS) and are built to be among the safest, most efficient last-mile delivery and work truck systems available. Capable of running up to 100 miles on a charge, the vans have ultra-low floors to reduce physical stress on workers’ knees and back, and a high roof design that maximizes cargo space. HONDA PARTNERS WITH CATL ON LI-ION EV BATTERIES "Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) signed a cooperation agreement with Honda Motor in Tokyo to cooperate formally to develop electric vehicles for the future market." says Green Car COngress: "Under the agreement, CATL will become Honda’s partner in the field of lithium-ion EV batteries. CATL will guarantee the supply to Honda of about 56 GWh of lithium-ion EV batteries before 2027. CATL currently uses NCM as a core material in its automotive cells; energy density is as high as 240 Wh/kg." Honda makes an excellent PHEV, the Clarity PHEV with an electric range of 47 miles, almost as good as the Chevy Volt which unfortunately will be discontinued soon. https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/02/20190206-hondacatl.html VANDOORNE FINDING MORE JOY WITHOUT F1 POLITICS com's Scott Mitchell reports: "Ex-McLaren driver Stoffel Vandoorne says he is enjoying Formula E following his Formula 1 exit because of the difference in camaraderie between drivers and paddock “politics”." He now races in Formula E for HWA. "The 26-year-old, who will dovetail his commitments with some Mercedes F1 simulator work, hopes his move to HWA could facilitate a “long-term” future in FE." https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/vandoorne-finding-joy-f1-politics/4332552/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Can YOU help me spread the word about how awesome electric cars are? Click
Friday 18th May 2018. On tomorrows show something different – one story, arguably one of the biggest EV stories of the week – and one guest from the company behind it. I’ll tell you more at the end of this show. And before we get started, just a note it’s the London Motor Show 2018 this week with everything from the Tesla Shooting Brake you might have seen which comes from my native Norfolk, to the brand new iconic electric Black Cab, to the world’s first production EV kit car the e-rod. You can search for the hashtag #LMS2018 if you’re interested in seeing more. 1000S OF SUPERCHARGERS ARE IN PERMITTING/CONSTRUCTION PHASES First up we'll dive straight into InsideEVs and Elon has been busy on the build again. This time is it Model 3? No! Model S or X? No! SpaceX? No! Tesla Energy, something about the Solar roof? No! The latest in a long line of positive announcements is about the Supercharger network. Already a huge incentive to get into the Tesla walled garden, he now says an updated Supercharger map is coming in the next few days. Responding to a question from new Model S owner Kevin Mitnick on Twitter about any superchargers coming to Woodland Hills, Elon replied: "Yeah, there are thousands of Supercharger locations going through permitting/construction, including that area. Will publish an updated map in the next few days." So what does "thousands" mean? At the basic level, it means 2,000 or more. And I presume he's talking Worldwide because there are many in the planning and permits stage even here in the UK. Oh and another reason this is the top story today, and it's got something to do with that 'walled garden' I mentioned. I wouldn’t be surprised to see another auto maker to cave in and pay Tesla for access, especially a smaller, more boutique brand without the means to build their own network. For now Tesla is burning cash and doing whatever it required to build out the network, whilst the Superchargers are never going to be used as a profit centre of Tesla owners. However, let me remind you of something from the earning call when he took questions from the blogger Galileo, who is a fan of Tesla having an exclusive club of chargers which others can’t access, as that makes them more valuable to investors. Elon said that he can see a time in the future when it's opened up to other manufacturers, indeed Tesla has even offered, but nobody was ready to be their customers just yet. And you can understand why, with huge auto makers wanting to do it their way, on their terms. However I can see a time when at least one major car maker in the medium term calls it quits on their own tech and licences EV technology from Tesla. Given Elon's mission is not to stop until all vehicles are electric, and also looking for new revenue streams, why wouldn't someone like Ford decide the best way to avoid total collapse is to licence the drivetrains from Tesla? ELECTRIC BUS FLEETS Earlier this week the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SF Muni) Board of Directors passed a resolution to begin procuring zero emission battery buses to replace electric hybrid vehicles by 2025, with a goal of achieving a 100 percent electric bus fleet by 2035" reports EcoWatch. Meanwhile, in South Korea, the government wants all buses and trucks to run with zero emissions by 2030. Electrive says: "The new plan released by the government also wants to introduce small electric two-wheelers for postal deliveries by 2020. Around the same time Seoul will also start to mass-produce and supply hydrogen and electric buses in earnest." And let me put both of those wonderful targets in perspective with a tweet from Colin McKerracher, Head of Advanced Transport, Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). In 2018, "Shenzhen: May 1st: all new commercial light duty trucks = EVs. From July 1: Only EVs allowed in ride hailing. By Dec 31: replace all remaining taxis with EVs. Build 5,200 EV chargers for taxis. Retire 20,000 diesel light duty trucks. City policies will reshape auto markets." RECORD EV SALES FOR SOUTH KOREA Well let's stay in South Korea for a bit longer. "The number of electric vehicles sold in South Korea so far this year is already more than double the sales recorded for the whole of last year. According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, electric vehicle sales rose from five-thousand-900 units in 2016 to 13-thousand-800 last year. It says more than 30-thousand EVs have been sold in South Korea since the turn of 2018, including preorders" according to some insight from KBS World. BMW UNVEIL SHAPE OF iNEXT Yesterday at the annual shareholders meeting for BMW in Germany they presented their vision for the iNext EV. The iNext is designed to be a technology showcase for BMW: electric propulsion, full self-driving, and advanced interfaces, said BMW CEO Harald Krueger. According to Green Car Reports: "It is supposed to be available with three different battery sizes: a 60 kilowatt-hour battery with 280 miles of range, a 90-kwh battery good for about 342 miles, and a range-topping 120-kwh battery with 435 miles of range. That last figure is longer than most gasoline cars." These types are things are never really about the car, but more about what they think they will focus on. So they say it will have Level 3 self-driving, equipped for Level 4, advanced gesture control. BMW HAS SOME PRODUCTION TIPS FOR TESLA As Tesla struggles to meet the mahoosive demand for Model 3's I'm sure what will really help is BMW chipping in with some advice. And it's this: "embrace human labor, be flexible and focus on the details." At that same annual meeting, Oliver Zipse from BMW said: "“Producing cars in cycles of 60 seconds: That is the deciding factor" BMW makes Tesla’s entire 2017 output once every two weeks. “To fully automate the assembly process is not our goal, because the human being with its unique properties is unbeatably flexible.” “Maybe there’s more leeway in the top-end market segment above 100,000 euros ($118,000), but as soon as you enter market segments with volumes like the 3- or even in the 5-Series, keeping costs under control is paramount,” BMW’s Zipse said. “You can’t allow yourself to have inefficiencies there.” EAST COAST STATES UNITE TO ADVANCE EV CHARGING States on the East Coast of the US, from Virginia to Maine, have announced support for the release of the ‘Northeast Corridor Regional Strategy for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure’ to advance public and private investments in EV charging" according to Renewable Energy Magazine: "As part of a legal settlement between the federal government and Volkswagen addressing Clean Air Act violation claims, the Northeast Corridor states, from Virginia to Maine, have up to $108 million that may be invested on charging and hydrogen fuelling infrastructure for electric cars. Electrify America, a Volkswagen subsidiary, is investing $2 billion to promote electric vehicles, which will include substantial infrastructure investments in the Northeast Corridor." I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Thursday 22nd March 2018. MUSK PAYDAY NEWS! His payday has been approved for a nominal value of $2.6bn, however that could be as much as $55bn worth of shares if he hits all the targets of Tesla being worth a mind-blowing $650bn. Including his current holding and presuming he doesn’t sell any shares, Elon Musk would then own 28% of Tesla, worth $182bn. As of 2017 the World’s richest person is Amazon’s Jezz Bezos at $112bn. VW EGOLF OFF THE MENU We’ll start with some good news about e-Golf sales, but if you’re listening in North America wanted to drive a new VW eGolf you better be quick. According to insight from InsideEVs, sales have been so strong here in Europe, they are almost out of stock. After all it was the best selling BEV in Western Europe according to InsideEVs sales scorecard. VW chairman Herbert Diess said: ““Our electric vehicle sales were three times more popular in 2017 than 2016 and the e-Golf nearly sold out, so it’s clear customers are willing to switch to EVs once the price is right.” NEXT STEPS FOR BMW Fresh news from just a few hours ago, at BMW’s Annual Accounts Press Conference they confirmed their next electric car will be the iX3. Then we’ll get the i4, previously known as the i Vision Dynamics. The only look we’ve had at it is in pure, utterly bonkers concept car form, but if the production EV was anywhere near it, it’s going to look great. From one pure battery electric vehicle (BEV) now in the guise of the i3, the i4 will be one of 12 battery-electric models BMW aims to have in showrooms by 2025. BMW CEO Harald Krueger said the i4 will be produced at the BMW's factory in Munich where it builds 3- and 4-series models. There’s also the electric MINI going into production in 2019, made here in the UK in Oxford as well as Mexico, before the electric version of the X3, the iX3, to be unveiled this year and available in 2020. In 2021 comes the iNEXT as their innovation flagbearer. But he wouldn’t say where in that timeline the i4 sits. BMW do expect, within 3 years, pure electric ranges will be 435 miles as the norm and 62miles normal for PHEVs. Autonews say BMW has secured naming rights for the badges i1 to i9 and iX1 to iX9. VW FACTORY INVESTMENT IN USA According to Fortune VW will be investing $340million in their Chattanooga factory to build a 5-seater SUV. At the New York International Auto Show on 30th March we’ll see their new SUV concept based on the MQB platform, which of course is designed for hybrid and PHEV options. The Chattanooga factory has been viewed as the likely location for VW’s plan to produce electric vehicles. POD POINT BREAK RECORDS In the UK, charging provider Pod Point has installed 67 charge points for Skanska, and it looks like it breaks the record for the largest in the country. And one of the largest in Europe too. It took them 2 weeks to install the 7kW chargers but, the key detail, they also included the infrastructure to add another 243 more. That would be 310 charge points in one location for Skanska employees to charge their cars whilst they work. Erik Fairbairn, chief executive of Pod Point, said: “This is the largest single site charge point installation that we’re aware of in the UK, but also a sign of a larger shift over the past six months, as more businesses wake up to the benefits of EVs. We’ve certainly seen a big increase in enquiries from companies wanting future proof charge point installations that can be scaled up as their fleets make the switch to electric.” Utility Week say “Recent research commissioned by Ovo Energy suggests existing EVs in the UK could contribute more than 114MW to the National Grid, enough to power over 300,000 homes. HYUNDAI ELECTRIFIES THE TUCSON “Hyundai will present the facelifted version of the third-gen Tucson next week” according to CarScoops, “on March 28, during a press conference at the New York Auto Show, which will be streamed live. The crossover slots between the Kona and Santa Fe Sport has been spied numerous times in prototype form with heavy camouflage covering its body. Hyundai has also confirmed hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions of the SUV”. “The 2019 Hyundai Kona Electric will join the other two in New York. The zero emission vehicle comes straight from the Geneva Motor Show, where it was revealed with a 133hp (135PS) electric motor and 39.2kWh battery pack. This version can be driven for up to 186miles (300km), whereas the long-range variant can travel up to 292miles (470km) and uses a 201hp (204PS) electric motor, paired to a 64kWh battery pack. As a final note, you can watch Hyundai’s press conference, which starts on March 28, at 12:45pm EST (5:45pm CET)” on CarScoops.com BMW 3-SERIES SPIED Finally the all new BMW 3-series has been spotted testing in the concept form and in full-on camo gear. This car will be huge for BMW. It simple must be a huge success. They want Audi A4 buyers to choose the 3-series instead, same for Merc C-Class buyers. It’s all new from the ground up. I have no doubt there will be a strong emphasis on plug ins and hybrids in the range. The hybrid tech might be the mildest of mild, just a 48v system to run systems and take the pressure of the ICE, or to do things like spool up the turbo ready for when the engine needs it. Anything which gets the CO2 down under the new WLTP emissions system which all cars must use from September this year. Since the first version of the Ford Fusion Energi in 2013 not much has happened on their electric front. Well, nothing actually apart from announcements. Now they’re updating it for the 2019 model year which includes a Hybrid and Phev. The Fusion Energi, the only plug in Ford sell now the C-Max Energi is no more, gets a very little battery bump. From 7.6kWH to 7.9kWH. It sits in the same space as before but, considering other auto makers like Renault have done the same but with much bigger capacity increases, like the new LEAF or the Zoe ZE40, at least we know the technology exists to do that. It’s an EPA range of 25 electric miles. I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.
