An appraisal of Formula E's surprising choice of Homestead as a venue for the tenuously titled Miami E-Prix is picked through after a messy end to a race that saw numerous penalties applied. Pascal Wehrlein had elements of fortune on the way to his first E-Prix win of the season, while teammate Antonio Felix da Costa was one of several drivers to be scuppered by a late red flag for a multi-car shunt at a specially made chicane. The possibility of Wehrlein retaining his title is dug in to, as is the poor early season form of Jaguar, who will lose its team principal James Barclay at season end. A miserable weekend in Florida from the Stellantis powered car is also analysed, as is strong performances from Nico Mueller, Dan Ticktum and Lucas di Grassi, the last of which scored a momentous surprise second place for a reborn Lola. Latest news discussed includes the future of NEOM McLaren, the probable arrival of Opel and some details about a new documentary series which is set to hit the screens next month.

This week, we are delighted to welcome James Barclay to the show. James is Team Principal at Jaguar Racing, the current Formula E constructors World Champion. We have done some amazing shows on Formula 1, but this is a new area to venture into. Formula E is the fastest growing motorsport in the world. It has been a rapid rise for electric racing since the first season in 2014. In an age where the environment and sustainability dominates, this format has become a pioneer of ‘green' sport, influencing the technological development of electric cars and influencing broader automotive consumption habits. With the now infamous rebrand of Jaguar at the end of last year, what role does the company's participation in this sport now play in broader company objectives built exclusively around electric vehicles? James has been the team Principal since 2015, when the manufacturer first entered the sport. This was the chance to sit down and discuss this alongside the success of Formula 1, understand the similarities and differences, and review how the business of the teams and wider sport works. It's an entertainment product for the modern age, and a modern audience. What makes the Jaguar car faster than an F1 car 0-60? What is the cost of running a Championship winning team? Could Max Verstappen win in a Formula E car? Let's find out. On today's show we discuss: The world of Formula E: Creating a new sport - the origins of Formula E and how it differs from other forms of racing. How has it evolved since its inception; from a concept on the back of a napkin to leading global motorsport. What do the revenue streams look like for a Formula E team? From sponsorship to prize money to media rights. Do spending caps and regulations placed on the teams drive financial sustainability? How media rights and the mediafication of sport has affected Formula E? Is there a Drive to Survive moment on the horizon? How do drivers become Formula E drivers rather than another motorsport? What are the differences? Formula E vs Formula 1: What are the similarities between the two formats? What has F1 copied from Formula E? Are the two in competition or can they coexist harmoniously? How would F1 drivers fare in the Formula E championship? If you put Max Verstappen in a Jaguar car, would he win the Championship? What lessons can Formula E take from F1 when it comes to global outreach? Do Formula E's cars lead to better racing? More overtakes, quicker acceleration, more skill? The future of EVs and Jaguar: How much does Motorsport at the elite end influence global consumer habits across an automotive industry? How the Jaguar rebrand towards EVs affected their participation in Formula E? Is all press good press? In what ways do the sponsors in Formula E advance the overall development in EV technology? Holding exclusive rights to electric racing until 2039, is Formula E the future? A huge thank you to our amazing partners: Orreco https://www.orreco.com/ Scan.com https://uk.scan.com/
The 2024-25 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship began with a bang in Sao Paulo with Mitch Evans taking an extraordinary last to first win in his new Jaguar Gen3Evo machine. That was only part of a dramatic landscape to a race that also included two red flags, the last of which was for Pascal Wehrlein's inverted Porsche. The reigning champion emerged unscathed from the wreck after tangling with fellow assumed title rival Nick Cassidy's already damaged Jaguar. Other stellar performances analysed include Taylor Barnard's remarkable third place and Oliver Rowland's strong weekend which was devalued and unrewarded due to team errors and poor reliability. We hear from Rowland and Barnard, as well as Jaguar TCS Racing boss James Barclay who describes some of the trickier moments from another complex and scintillating race. Host Andrew van de Burgt and reporter Sam Smith dive in to the fall-out from a spectacular opener that saw the true return of potent attack mode and an upswing in lap time largely thanks to All-Wheel-Drive and a new tyre compound.

We've been Borged! Oh no! Specifically, we've been I, Borged as each of today's Borg-themed episodes are based in some way around Hugh Borg.

Finally there's Picard's Impossible Box, which turns out to be both a Borg Cube used for rehab and a puzzle box that a weird hot Romulan uses for meditation when he's not getting way too close to his sister. Picard has a nice reunion with Hugh and there's a Lord of the Rings Elf who's there for some reason. 09:28 Star Trek: The Next Generation “I, Borg” 37:38 Star Trek: Lower Decks “I, Excretus” 59:44 Picard “The Impossible Box” Pedant's Corner: Charlie is going to have to recap Star Trek: Nemesis Alice Krige's surname is pronounced “Kree-Guh” Talking points include: Battle Angel Alita, Tetsuo: The Iron Man, Reanna being cancer free, Berserk, Joe Abercrombie, James Barclay, Elric, Picard would make a great Number Two in The Prisoner, Visionaries, X-Men: Fatal Attraction, Batman hologram trading cards, Matlock Bath's Hologram Museum, Star Wars: Dark Droids, Whoopi Goldberg would make a great Doctor Who, a poop joke, Nemesis of the Pod Ed Sheeran, Funny Games, James VanDerBeek, not forgiving people for reminding us that Young Sheldon exists, mocking Geoff Johns' career again, crowbarring The Legion of Super-Heroes into a recap, pesto, Grant Morrison, The X-Men's Sentient Danger Room, being tired old men, Bond themes, Miles' issues with James Bond, Alan Partridge, Orbital's The Box, Evil Goth Merlin from the TV Show Merlin, Elnor is an elf ranger, Elnor has taken a level in rogue, Elnor has only seen the Lord of the Rings movies (probably not even the extended versions), Elnor saw the 90's Three Musketeers or the Paul Anderson one, Rifts (Charlie will never run Rifts), JJ Abrams naming, weird incest siblings, Penny Dreadful, a weird The Cube room.

A hectic and entertaining first ever Hyderabad EPrix is digested and analysed by host Jack Nicholls, Sam Smith and Andrew van de Burgt. Jean-Eric Vergne tore up the recent formbook by giving the new DS Penske alliance its maiden ever victory. But how did he do it?

His teammate and championship points leader Pascal Wehrlein went from a hospital bed to fourth place all within 24 Hours and he talks to The Race about his rollercoaster of a few days in India.

Cruise Control returns this week featuring an exclusive chat with Jaguar TCS Racing team principal James Barclay, as we caught up with the man during a recent visit to Seoul, Korea. Barclay discusses Jaguar's electric motorsport team as well as their future plans in pursuit of a sustainable electric revolution.Kicking off with some headlines from the week, we look ahead to locally assembled editions of the Mercedes C Class, which will be put together in Pekan, Pahang beginning this year. We also discuss the prospects of trialling electric buses on the island of Langkawi, and how it can help pave the way for more electric infrastructures country-wide.And we round off with Daniel's review of a refreshed variant of the Proton X70, now kitted with a brand new 1.5L turbocharged engine; proving to be a much better proposition compared to its predecessor.
Mo asks James Barclay: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? For James, the number one strategy is the Protemoi List. These are the people in your circle that are your partners, prospects, and the key people that could be your raving fans. Having a focused relationship list is an unbeatable edge. When you invest in a relationship, people will move with you. James has had people buy from his company multiple times over multiple jobs. Your Protemoi List is a list of five to ten people that have outsized returns on the amount of time and energy you invest in the relationship. The first strategy is to simply be useful to them. Offer to take them to events with you that you believe would be helpful to them. Find content and then pass it on to people you think would find it useful. Celebrate them at every opportunity. Accelerate them and give them a platform where you highlight them and what they are doing. A personal newsletter can be incredibly powerful. You don't need thousands of people on your list for it to be worth it. Build something that is extremely accessible to them, extremely useful to them, and don't waste their time. It can take some time to build momentum, but you have to start somewhere. If you can write something useful for one person you can build it over time and create something really valuable. Consistency matters. Find a cadence that works for you and your schedule and stick with it. Mo asks Kevin Clem: What's your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? Kevin discovered the Snowball System from the podcast after being referred to it by the CEO of HBR Consulting. The Most Important Things is one of the key principles that Kevin has embraced. He and his team have made the idea of the top three things as a guiding framework for how they operate. Raving fans and assessing the level of the relationship with each client is another big strategy. There is power in language. Just by entering the GrowBIG world and embracing the terminology, Kevin and his team have changed the way they think about business development and growth. Take a page out of your creative marketing playbook and come out with a theme for your internal program to get your team to buy in. Kevin's team has tried a number of different incentives to get the team excited. They found that recognition and reward among high achievers is a good base to start with, combined with accountability. Create and celebrate short-term wins to spotlight things that are going well and to build momentum. Celebrating the small wins is an important piece of creating progress. Doing what you can do today is what leads to the championship. Mo asks Dennis Baltz: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System? Dennis loved so much of the GrowBIG Training, but the one that stands out the most is the idea of the Most Important Thing. When working with clients, Dennis uses an MIT one-sheet to communicate all the work streams that they can work on during the engagement as well as including some potentially new approaches they can take advantage of. They are using that very effectively to land new clients because it allows them to understand the exact value WTW brings to the table. This approach creates strategic conversations and helps build the trust that client's have in Dennis and his team's ability to think around corners. Structurally, the slide includes important dates for upcoming content or events, the essential work streams for the client, and disruptive ideas. Pre-MIT, the client updates were boring and uninspiring. Refining it down to the Most Important Things and communicating them in a single place that's easy to understand has made it very valuable.

You don't need thousands of people on your list for it to be worth it. Build something that is extremely accessible to them, extremely useful to them, and don't waste their time. It can take some time to build momentum, but you have to start somewhere. If you can write something useful for one person you can build it over time and create something really valuable. Consistency matters. Find a cadence that works for you and your schedule and stick with it. Mo asks Kevin Clem: What's your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? Kevin discovered the Snowball System from the podcast after being referred to it by the CEO of HBR Consulting. The Most Important Things is one of the key principles that Kevin has embraced. He and his team have made the idea of the top three things as a guiding framework for how they operate. Raving fans and assessing the level of the relationship with each client is another big strategy. There is power in language. Just by entering the GrowBIG world and embracing the terminology, Kevin and his team have changed the way they think about business development and growth. Take a page out of your creative marketing playbook and come out with a theme for your internal program to get your team to buy in. Kevin's team has tried a number of different incentives to get the team excited. They found that recognition and reward among high achievers is a good base to start with, combined with accountability. Create and celebrate short-term wins to spotlight things that are going well and to build momentum. Celebrating the small wins is an important piece of creating progress. Doing what you can do today is what leads to the championship. Mo asks Dennis Baltz: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or Snowball System? Dennis loved so much of the GrowBIG Training, but the one that stands out the most is the idea of the Most Important Thing. When working with clients, Dennis uses an MIT one-sheet to communicate all the work streams that they can work on during the engagement as well as including some potentially new approaches they can take advantage of. They are using that very effectively to land new clients because it allows them to understand the exact value WTW brings to the table. This approach creates strategic conversations and helps build the trust that client's have in Dennis and his team's ability to think around corners. Structurally, the slide includes important dates for upcoming content or events, the essential work streams for the client, and disruptive ideas. Pre-MIT, the client updates were boring and uninspiring. Refining it down to the Most Important Things and communicating them in a single place that's easy to understand has made it very valuable.

Mo asks James Barclay: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? For James, the number one strategy is the Protemoi List. These are the people in your circle that are your partners, prospects, and the key people that could be your raving fans. Having a focused relationship list is an unbeatable edge. When you invest in a relationship, people will move with you. James has had people buy from his company multiple times over multiple jobs. Your Protemoi List is a list of five to ten people that have outsized returns on the amount of time and energy you invest in the relationship. The first strategy is to simply be useful to them. Offer to take them to events with you that you believe would be helpful to them. Find content and then pass it on to people you think would find it useful. Celebrate them at every opportunity. Accelerate them and give them a platform where you highlight them and what they are doing. A personal newsletter can be incredibly powerful.

Monticello Guide Danna Kelley focuses on the memorable story of Uriah Phillips Levy and his connection to Monticello. She discusses his career in the United States Navy, where he became the first Jewish-American to rise to the rank of commodore as well as the anti-Semitism he faced throughout his time in military service. She also explores his decision to purchase Monticello from James Barclay and begin preservation efforts for the home, and how these efforts were connected to his admiration for Thomas Jefferson.

James Barclay shares the key content creation strategies that Passel uses to help busy professionals demonstrate the expertise that sets them and their firms apart. Learn about how content creation became the basis for Passel's business model, how to write and create content for your most important relationships in a way that people will love, and why a podcast is the secret business development hack that most professionals aren't using right now. Mo asks James Barclay: When did you realize that business development was great? James' first job out of college was as a conference organizer and that's where he learned the power of selling ideas. Selling conferences in the 1990s changed once the internet became more established and James began using websites to promote them, but they discovered that brochure websites weren't very effective which led to creating content based websites instead. The skills that James and his business partners developed in creating those businesses were a natural fit for content online, but he realized that taking the expertise in his head and sharing it online was actually really difficult. That's where the idea for Passle came from. Showcasing your expertise online as an expert is crucial, especially when people are still not visiting businesses physically as much. Do something rather than nothing, and realize that you won't be great at it straight away. Run an audit of LinkedIn to see who you are connected to. Compare that list to a list of the people that give you money for what you do, and if you're not connected with the people who give you money correct that. Write short, client focused and timely content at least once a month. Your content should be easy to consume and don't outsource it. Someone shouldn't be pretending to be you online. Taking content that is already published is a great place to start. Just add your own perspective or commentary to something that already exists. Picture one of your top ten to twenty clients and write something that you know will resonate with them then publish that on a public space like LinkedIn or your blog. Ask them directly what they would be interested in, and then write content around those answers. At the very least share your company's content and provide some commentary on it. You need to be digitally active. People won't be thinking of you if you're not present in the public square that is social media. Write for one person instead of writing for everyone. Think of the people that pay you money for your expertise and then write content with one of those people in mind. They are the most likely to share your content and refer you to other people when they find it useful. That's how you give your raving fans ammunition. Mo asks James Barclay: Tell me your personal definition of business development. Growth is all about your leading indicators. Your behaviors, values, and what you do every day are what will put you in a position to win. Focusing on the end of the pipeline will make you look desperate. With the right values and habits, you'll come up with the right tactics for the people looking to buy from you. Helping is the key to growth. If every time someone reaches out you help them, at some point they will ask you what you do and be interested in what you sell, which is way more effective than reaching out to them to buy your stuff. When someone asks you what you do, turn it around and ask them about themselves and their challenges while looking for an area that you may be able to help them, either with advice or a connection. Curiosity is an emotion that humans love to experience. By getting the other person to ask what you do twice, it increases the curiosity element. Business development is about providing a solution when the other person needs it, and this takes patience and consistency is providing value. It can be even more powerful to be helpful when the other person is unable to buy your services. One of James' key qualifiers when selling to someone is whether they like him and James likes them as well. It's common for highly analytical people to talk about anything other than their content and expertise. If you find yourself uncomfortable in a sales environment, your clients probably feel the same. Finding the place that you're comfortable with could actually be the sweet spot between you and other analytical prospects. Reach out with useful content between billable projects. Sending an asset or an idea is an effective way to keep the conversation going. Mo asks James Barclay: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? For James, the number one strategy is the Protemoi List. These are the people in your circle that are your partners, prospects, and the key people that could be your raving fans.

Consistency matters. Find a cadence that works for you and your schedule and stick with it. Mo asks James Barclay: Tell me a story about the business development that you are the proudest of. James' challenge in reaching prospects is connecting with CMOs in law firms and working up the chain can take some time. The Passel podcast was born once the team understood how useful it is as a business development tool. The podcast gives them an opportunity to talk to their perfect prospects and gives them a chance to talk about the things they are passionate about while getting to know them at the same time. Eventually, the CMO starts asking about James and the team does and it's a great way to have the right conversations with the right people. The more fantastic content you have on a podcast, the more of their target customers become interested in being featured on the podcast. James found that short and sharp podcasts perform best. Celebrate what your guest has accomplished and give them a platform. Your podcast should have a specific theme and structure for the episodes, and understand that it's a skill that takes time to learn and get good at. If you can, provide feedback and let your guest know how many people listened to their interview. Seasons are a good framework, along with having a set of questions that you can repeat and reuse. Repurposing the asset after the fact is another great way to get more exposure. Make sure you know what the win is for the interviewee. Mo asks James Barclay: If you could record a video around business development and send it back to your younger self, what would it say? James is naturally impatient, so he would tell his younger self to cultivate patience. You can't sell stuff by shouting at people that they should buy from you. It's not your sales process, it's about their buying process. Think about the actions that you can do consistently that will lay the groundwork for outcomes instead of focusing on the outcomes themselves. Accept the fact that you are often fighting fires and won't always be perfect at your business development habits. Having a team that can support you and keep you on track when you need it is a big asset. Make sure you are surrounded by people you trust. Set some time aside each week to track your most important things and what you got done and what's still on the list. James would always tell his younger self that the best ideas don't come when you're looking at a screen. Your best ideas will come when you're unplugged.

Mo asks James Barclay: If you could record a video around business development and send it back to your younger self, what would it say? James is naturally impatient, so he would tell his younger self to cultivate patience. You can't sell stuff by shouting at people that they should buy from you. It's not your sales process, it's about their buying process. Think about the actions that you can do consistently that will lay the groundwork for outcomes instead of focusing on the outcomes themselves. Accept the fact that you are often fighting fires and won't always be perfect at your business development habits. Having a team that can support you and keep you on track when you need it is a big asset. Make sure you are surrounded by people you trust.

Mo asks James Barclay: Tell me a story about the business development that you are the proudest of. James' challenge in reaching prospects is connecting with CMOs in law firms and working up the chain can take some time. The Passel podcast was born once the team understood how useful it is as a business development tool. The podcast gives them an opportunity to talk to their perfect prospects and gives them a chance to talk about the things they are passionate about while getting to know them at the same time. Eventually, the CMO starts asking about James and the team does and it's a great way to have the right conversations with the right people. The more fantastic content you have on a podcast, the more of their target customers become interested in being featured on the podcast. James found that short and sharp podcasts perform best. Celebrate what your guest has accomplished and give them a platform. Your podcast should have a specific theme and structure for the episodes, and understand that it's a skill that takes time to learn and get good at. If you can, provide feedback and let your guest know how many people listened to their interview. Seasons are a good framework, along with having a set of questions that you can repeat and reuse. Repurposing the asset after the fact is another great way to get more exposure. Make sure you know what the win is for the interviewee.

Mo asks James Barclay: What is your favorite science, step, or story from the GrowBIG Training or the Snowball System? For James, the number one strategy is the Protemoi List. These are the people in your circle that are your partners, prospects, and the key people that could be your raving fans. Having a focused relationship list is an unbeatable edge. When you invest in a relationship, people will move with you. James has had people buy from his company multiple times over multiple jobs. Your Protemoi List is a list of five to ten people that have outsized returns on the amount of time and energy you invest in the relationship. The first strategy is to simply be useful to them. Offer to take them to events with you that you believe would be helpful to them. Find content and then pass it on to people you think would find it useful. Celebrate them at every opportunity. Accelerate them and give them a platform where you highlight them and what they are doing. A personal newsletter can be incredibly powerful. You don't need thousands of people on your list for it to be worth it. Build something that is extremely accessible to them, extremely useful to them, and don't waste their time. It can take some time to build momentum, but you have to start somewhere. If you can write something useful for one person you can build it over time and create something really valuable. Consistency matters. Find a cadence that works for you and your schedule and stick with it.

Mo asks James Barclay: Tell me your personal definition of business development. Growth is all about your leading indicators. Your behaviors, values, and what you do every day are what will put you in a position to win. Focusing on the end of the pipeline will make you look desperate. With the right values and habits, you'll come up with the right tactics for the people looking to buy from you. Helping is the key to growth. If every time someone reaches out you help them, at some point they will ask you what you do and be interested in what you sell, which is way more effective than reaching out to them to buy your stuff. When someone asks you what you do, turn it around and ask them about themselves and their challenges while looking for an area that you may be able to help them, either with advice or a connection. Curiosity is an emotion that humans love to experience. By getting the other person to ask what you do twice, it increases the curiosity element. Business development is about providing a solution when the other person needs it, and this takes patience and consistency is providing value. It can be even more powerful to be helpful when the other person is unable to buy your services. One of James' key qualifiers when selling to someone is whether they like him and James likes them as well. It's common for highly analytical people to talk about anything other than their content and expertise. If you find yourself uncomfortable in a sales environment, your clients probably feel the same. Finding the place that you're comfortable with could actually be the sweet spot between you and other analytical prospects. Reach out with useful content between billable projects. Sending an asset or an idea is an effective way to keep the conversation going.

Mo asks James Barclay: When did you realize that business development was great? James' first job out of college was as a conference organizer and that's where he learned the power of selling ideas. Selling conferences in the 1990s changed once the internet became more established and James began using websites to promote them, but they discovered that brochure websites weren't very effective which led to creating content based websites instead. The skills that James and his business partners developed in creating those businesses were a natural fit for content online, but he realized that taking the expertise in his head and sharing it online was actually really difficult. That's where the idea for Passle came from. Showcasing your expertise online as an expert is crucial, especially when people are still not visiting businesses physically as much. Do something rather than nothing, and realize that you won't be great at it straight away. Run an audit of LinkedIn to see who you are connected to. Compare that list to a list of the people that give you money for what you do, and if you're not connected with the people who give you money correct that. Write short, client focused and timely content at least once a month. Your content should be easy to consume and don't outsource it. Someone shouldn't be pretending to be you online. Taking content that is already published is a great place to start. Just add your own perspective or commentary to something that already exists. Picture one of your top ten to twenty clients and write something that you know will resonate with them then publish that on a public space like LinkedIn or your blog. Ask them directly what they would be interested in, and then write content around those answers. At the very least share your company's content and provide some commentary on it. You need to be digitally active. People won't be thinking of you if you're not present in the public square that is social media. Write for one person instead of writing for everyone. Think of the people that pay you money for your expertise and then write content with one of those people in mind. They are the most likely to share your content and refer you to other people when they find it useful. That's how you give your raving fans ammunition.

Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Tuesday 17th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport. NEWS IN BRIEF: Renault has confirmed the Australian dealers that will sell the Zoe EV, while the electric hatchback's list price of $47,990 before on-road costs has also been announced. Tesla is extending free unlimited Supercharging for Model S and Model X with referral program- but only for another two week A photo posted online showed the Performance Model 3 with 116MPGe, which less than the 130MPGe for the long range version Nissan's design boss Alfonso Albaisa has been talking about the next Nissan GT-R, and said the engineering team is still developing the basic architecture of the program, and debating how much electric assistance the powertrain will consist of, whether it will be a plug-in hybrid, a fully electric car or remain powered by a conventional combustion engine. FROM #1 CRITIC TO #1 FAN Sandy Munroe made a YouTube video of a first release Model 3 and didn’t hold back. Not a fan of the fit & finish [audio clip] But now having driven it, and taken it apart, someone has changed their tune. He raves about the electronics….[audio clip]…the batteries…[audio clip]…and he eats some humble pie…[audio clip] RUMOUR MILL: TESLA TO ADOPT CCS? Should we start with a rumour? I report on unsubstantiated rumours so little on this show but here's one that I've been asked about over the last few days, and then yesterday another thing crops up on Reddit, so let's speculate. So let’s start with Reddit: A German Tesla supporter named "Tesla Klaus" spoke to a Tesla technician during a Supercharger stop in Germany, who was at the Supercharger to replace two cables. However Tesla Klaus claims the engineer told hi, he's also doing preparations to add an additional cable to the Superchargers. Those additional cables will have CCS connectors (the chargers will have two cables, the existing Type 2 and then the new one with CCS Combo 2 plug). That's needed because the European Model 3 will have a CCS port. Cables and Connectors will be water cooled to support more power. Reservoir with coolant will be placed on top of chargers Here in Europe Tesla uses a slightly modified Type 2 connector for Supercharging. Tesla had to add the GB/T DC connector to S and X and did that by adding a charge port door, however the Model 3 charge port area is large enough to fit the Combo 2 connector. Japan favours CHAdeMO but Tesla doesn't support. However CCS Combo 2 can deliver charging up to 350kW, up to 1000v and 500A. In the European Union according to the Directive 2014/94/EU[26] all high power DC charging points set up after November 18th 2017 shall be equipped for interoperability purposes at least with Combo 2 connectors. Elon has hinted at Supercharger V3 in the past. There are screenshots of a Model 3 in factory mode which show that Model 3 is capable of DC charging with a higher rate than the current superchargers support. S & X will probably also support this once their battery setup gets an upgrade. ENGINEERING BOSS SAYS EVS "SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TRANSFORMATIONS OF ALL TIME” "Joe Kaeser, global chief executive of the engineering giant Siemens, said up to almost a third of jobs could be lost as the transition from combustion engines to electric cars takes place over the next decade, in what will be “one of the single most important transformations of all time”. writing in today's Guardian newspaper Angela Monaghan: "Speaking over the weekend at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Kaeser said it would be a key challenge for industry leaders to build the car of the future responsibly and get the transformation right, because ultimately many traditional roles will disappear in the short-term." He says: "It may cause quite a dip in employment, because if you have 20-30 less value chain, then … you have 20%-30% fewer jobs. That is how it has been in the first three industrial revolutions. There has always been a significant change in employment. And then by enabling growth, it actually turned out that more jobs were created. Higher growth was achieved and obviously more people moved out of poverty and had better lives." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/jul/15/global-workforce-will-be-decimated-by-fourth-revolution-says-siemens-boss TESLA MODEL 3 ROLLOVER CRASH HAS A GOOD ENDING FOR THE DRIVER "Rollover accidents for electric vehicles are generally regarded to be rare. That’s mostly due to the fact that they have large and heavy batteries at the bottom of the vehicle, producing a low centre of gravity. Just last May, Tesla showed off how it tried to make a Model X rollover without success." reports JC Torres for Slashgear: "“I thought the car performed spectacularly from a safety standpoint. The driver seat airbags protected her during the roll including one underneath the steering wheel for her legs which I didn’t even know was there. As you can see from the photos the cabin was completely intact. The windshield and glass roof obviously shattered but they did not intrude into the cabin at all.”" Redditor StapleGun shared pics of his blue Model 3 whose front was pretty much totaled. Especially the driver side front wheel that hit the freeway median with such force that it sheared the wheel off. But the surprise was how the inside of the car was, for all intents and purposes, totally fine. https://www.slashgear.com/tesla-model-3-rollover-crash-has-a-good-ending-for-the-driver-15537706/ 20% OF PARKING SPACES SHOULD BE CONVERTED TO EV CHARGE POINTS "Local authorities should allocate one in five parking spaces to be converted into electric vehicle (EV) charge points by 2025 to prepare for the increasing uptake of zero-emission vehicles, a report has recommended." according to James Fossdyke for Motor1.com: "The National Infrastructure Commission’s study into the UK’s economic infrastructure says councils should turn five percent of parking spaces, including on-street spaces, into electric vehicle charging bays by 2020, before upping that to 20 percent by 2025." "The study also suggests regulating charging bays" https://uk.motor1.com/news/252353/parking-spaces-become-charging-points/ FORMULA E TEACHES CAR COMPANIES HOW TO MAKE ELECTRIC VEHICLES Forbes sat down with James Barclay, director for the Panasonic Jaguar Racing team, to talk about Jaguar’s involvement with Formula E and how the series will help the automaker continue to develop electric vehicles. "We’re already seeing real-world learnings from our activity in Formula E that apply to our production cars: the construction of some of the hardware items like the e-motors and inverter, the materials we use and the way we package them, the weight that we can achieve in the race car, how we maximize efficiency through software and control systems, how we optimize the whole powertrain, from the inverter to the e-motors. Fundamentally Formula E is about making cars go as fast as they can for as long as they can. From a production standpoint, that’s perfect because if you can achieve that in a customer car, it means the customer can drive longer and faster, too." https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaclyntrop/2018/07/16/formula-e-teaches-car-companies-how-to-make-electric-vehicles/#6ea9b33d1ae7 LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR V12 HYBRID TO LAUNCH A GENERATION "Lamborghini will embrace electrification in its next-generation flagship supercar due early in the next decade, and in the models that will follow" reports Steve Walker for AutoExpress: "Plans are afoot not just for a V12 hybrid in the Aventador replacement that will come first but for a V10 hybrid in the next Huracan and a fourth Lamborghini model line could also be under consideration. The V12 hybrid Aventador replacement had already been confirmed to Auto Express by Lamborghini Research and Development boss Maurizio Reggiani back in January. An all-electric Lamborghini isn’t part of the firm’s immediate plans, but an EV is an option beyond the next generation hybrid supercar" Lamborghini CEO Stefano Domenicali: ""When we’re talking about performance, the killer of performance is weight. But the more you go for new technology the more you have to counterbalance to ensure you keep the weight under control." http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/lamborghini/102454/new-lamborghini-aventador-v12-hybrid-to-launch-a-generation-of-electrified-lambos LONDON'S BIGGEST ON-DEMAND CAR CLUB IS GOING ALL ELECTRIC "Zipcar announced today that it has started making Volkswagen e-Golfs available. Users will eventually have a pick of 325" reports the Evening Standard: "They will be available on Zipcar’s Flex 31p-per-minute package and have a range of 130 miles, suitable for short trips only. Some of the e-Golfs can be charged at the roadside, but most will be collected and taken to a “rapid charging station”. https://www.standard.co.uk/tech/zipcar-electric-fleet-lack-charging-points-a3886531.html AND FINALLY...DO YOU FANCY A JOB AT TESLA?

More and more 4 wheel drivers talk about issues in Mansfield and we are trying to find out what makes Mansfield special and what the impact is on the local businesses. Check out Tim's great video series, Podcasts from the Bush.
Dårligdommerne har været inde i en mørk periode af podcastens liv. Christopher blev dødsyg, Jacob har haft monstertravlt og Troels har kun eksisteret som arbejdshest på Troldspejlet. Det har med andre ord, været lidt hektisk i Dårligdommernes liv, og derfor har vi måtte aflyse et afsnit. Heldigvis har vi stadig arkivafsnit tilbage, og vi er nået til et af de gode, nemlig Himmerland. Nicolai Coster Waldau spiller den bærende rolle i denne thriller, om en lejemorder, et mord, to tøser og… Ej ok, der er ingen der ved hvad der foregår i Himmerland. Mudret historie, ligegyldige personroller og pistoler der dukker op ud af ingenting. Himmerland er instrueret af James Barclay, som sjovt nok også spiller den anden hovedrolle. Den eneste gode nyhed er, at det her faktisk ligner en film og ikke en hjemmevideo ligesom A Viking Saga, der også var instrueret af en amerikaner. (Barclay er canadisk, but who cares) Lyt med når Lille Jacob, Sideburns og T-pain virkelig prøver at finde ud af hvad filmen handler om, og hvad fanden Neel Rønholdt laver.
