Government grants and incentives have widened adoption, and zero-emission vehicles now account for over 22% of new cars registered in 2025, while diesel registrations plummeted to historic lows. TESLA TEASES OCTOBER 7 MODEL Y REVEAL Tesla released a teaser for an October 7 Model Y reveal, sparking speculation over a more affordable variant intended to boost sales momentum and address product aging. The event is pivotal as Tesla faces pressure from competition and expiring federal incentives; analysts expect production ramp-up of the lower-cost Model Y in Q4. TESLA GERMANY SEPTEMBER SALES AND BYD SURGE In Germany, BEV registrations rose 31.9% year-over-year, but Tesla's numbers fell 9.4% in September and halved since January, while Chinese rival BYD saw registrations soar beyond twenty-fold for the month. The rise of competitors and market diversification are accelerating electrification, prompting legacy automakers to refresh offerings despite Tesla's updated Model Y achieving stronger results in other parts of Europe. EUROPE EV SALES RISE IN AUGUST European plug-in vehicle sales climbed 36% year-over-year in August to about 246,000 units, outpacing overall market growth and raising BEV share to 21%.

CADILLAC Q3 EV SALES SURGE Cadillac delivered 18,383 EVs in Q3—a record since 2013—boosted by expiring tax credits, with electric models chosen by 40% of buyers in the period. Q3 EV deliveries rose 154% year-over-year, though upcoming quarters will test Cadillac's ability to sustain the momentum. BMW AND STELLANTIS MATCH FEDERAL EV CREDIT BMW and Stellantis are offsetting the loss of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit by applying equivalent discounts to eligible electric and plug‑in hybrid models.

DACIA SPRING UPGRADED WITH MORE POWER AND LFP Dacia's upgraded Spring city car features new, more powerful motors and a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery that improves cost and safety while maintaining a WLTP range of 140 miles. The revised models, now quicker and more efficient, are priced from £15,000 to £17,000 and arrive early next year.

Wenn Sie glauben, beim Kauf eines Elektroautos müssten Sie weniger entscheiden, dann liegen Sie falsch. Denn auch hier müssen Sie zwischen Front- und Allradantrieb entscheiden,  Sie müssen sich bei der Leistung entscheiden und – das ist grade bei E-Fahrzeugen relevant, bei der notwendigen Reichweite.  Aber das ist gar nicht so schwer, wie man beim Opel Grandland Electric feststellen kann.  Darum geht es diesmal!Vor wenigen Tagen meldete der Stern, dass Produkte mit dem Herkunftssiegel "Made in Germany" laut einer Studie international höchstes Ansehen genießen. Es werde weltweit als vertrauenswürdig angesehen, noch vor dem entsprechenden Siegel der Schweiz. Laut einer Umfrage des Nürnberg Instituts für Marktentscheidungen (NIM) vertrauen 66 Prozent der Befragten "Made in Germany", knapp vor der Schweiz und Japan. Somit wirke sich die deutsche Herkunftsangabe zudem am häufigsten positiv auf die Kaufentscheidung aus. Der neue Opel Grandland Electric wurde am Opel-Stammsitz in Rüsselsheim designt und entwickelt und rollt nun exklusiv in Eisenach vom Band, somit ist er gleich doppelt "Made in Germany!" Power und Drive!    Aktuell gibt es den Opel Grandland Electric in zwei Leistungsstufen mit 157 kW (213 PS) und 239 kW (325 PS). Herzstück ist in beiden Fällen eine 73-kWh-Batterie, in Kürze wird es auch eine 97 kWh Batterie geben. Die aktuellen Varianten bekommt man mit Front- und Allradantrieb, wobei im letztgenannten Fall 239 kW (325 PS) zur Verfügung stehen. Das macht bei der Höchstgeschwindigkeit nicht viel aus, der eine schafft 170 km/h, der andere 180 km/h. Deutlicher ist der Unterschied im Sprint zur Tempo 100 Messmarke. Die schafft der Allradler in 6,1 Sekunden, der Fronttriebler benötigt 9 Sekunden. Dafür hat der Fronttriebler bei der Reichweite mit 505-521 Kilometern die Nase vorn, der Allradler muss sich allerdings mit 483 Kilometern auch nicht verstecken. Die Reichweite ist gemessen gemäß WLTP.  Der Verbrauch liegt mit rund 17,6 zu 18,1 kWh/100 km ebenfalls dicht beieinander. Auch die Ladezeiten sorgen nicht für eine Qual der Wahl, an einer Schnelladesäule dauert es von 20% bis 80% gerade mal 30 Minuten.Die Kosten!Für 46.750 Euro gibt es den Fronttriebler mit 157 kW (213 PS) als Edition, 50.950 Euro sind für den GS fällig. Die 239 kW (325 PS) Version mit Allradantrieb gibt es nur in der Topausstattung Ultimate, sie kostet 59.990 Euro.  Alle Fotos: © Opel Automobile GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Smallsats have defined the last decade of space, but their limitations are clear: low power, limited throughput, and fragile unit economics. K2 Space is betting on the opposite. The company is building mega class and giga class satellites, platforms measured in tons rather than kilograms, that deliver unprecedented power, capacity, and resilience. By vertically integrating 80 percent of their systems in house, K2 is cutting costs by an order of magnitude and making industrial scale spacecraft a reality.On this episode of Valley of Depth, we're joined by Neel Kunjur, cofounder and CTO of K2 Space. Neel traces the journey from early Slack messages about the promise of MEO to a 160 person team building the largest commercial satellites ever attempted. He shares how K2 has reimagined subsystems like reaction wheels, high voltage power, and 20 kW propulsion to unlock entirely new mission architectures in MEO, GEO, and beyond. We also discuss:Why MEO is such an underexplored orbital regimeThe engineering breakthroughs behind large reaction wheels and high voltage power systemsHow stackable satellites change constellation designThe long term vision for space infrastructure, from in space compute to energy harvesting…and more.  • Chapters •00:00 – Intro00:56 – What's happened in the past two years since K2 has been on the pod02:13 – The thesis behind K203:51 – What does Neel mean by aperture?04:40 – Why do satellites need to grow in size and power?06:59 – The rise in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) chatter08:49 – Why did Neel leave SpaceX and start K2 with his brother?12:04 – Building K2 for a post Starship world14:10 – Current and future K2 offerings15:32 – 20 Kilowatts vs a small LEO satellite17:10 – Giga-scale satellite18:40 – How K2 is able to deliver $15m satellite21:13 – K2's innovations so far23:01 – Engineering problems that larger satellite builders have to worry about25:08 – K2's propulsion solution to get MEO28:11 – Engineering for Starship's current MEO blindspot29:18 – Neel's prediction on Starship's refueling rollout30:14 – Innovation through simplicity33:24 – How is K2 hiring the talent for their niche challenges35:52 – How big is K2's team today36:43 – Key takeaways from K2's first mission38:22 – Mission Gravitas39:59 – Orbit race40:39 – Mission Gravitas: Commercial or DoD?41:33 – K2's scaling plans43:03 – Customized vs standardized45:17 – Overspec'd by design45:40 – Will K2's success spur more competition?47:23 – Will satellites become robust, industrial hardware?48:48 – What's enabled by these large platforms?51:01 – The paradigm shift happening in engineering for space52:42 – Will SpaceX own LEO?55:05 – The name and branding behind K2 • Show notes •K2's website — http://www.k2space.com/K2's socials — https://x.com/K2SpaceCoMo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials  — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

Wer die aktuellen Nachrichten zum Thema Elektromobilität liest, ist hin- und hergerissen. Klappt es mit der weiteren Verbreitung oder nicht? Man weiß es nicht so genau. Und einige Konzerne haben schon die Rolle rückwärts vorbereitet. Oder zumindest seitwärts, weg vom Verbrenner-AUS! Es spricht aber nichts dagegen, die Technik von Elektroautos weiterzuentwickeln, die IBIS-Technologie, über die wir heute sprechen, würde sicherlich auch in Plug-in-Hybride gut passen. Plug-in-Hybride vereinen schließlich beide Welten. Verbrenner UND Elektrofahrzeuge!  Darum geht es diesmal!Stellantis hat in Zusammenarbeit mit Saft, einer Tochtergesellschaft von TotalEnergies, einen bahnbrechenden Fahrzeugprototyp mit IBIS-Technologie vorgestellt. Das Projekt ist Teil einer französischen Forschungskooperation zur Entwicklung effizienter, nachhaltiger und kostengünstiger Systeme zur Energiespeicherung und elektrischer Umwandlung. Mit dem Beginn der Praxistests auf öffentlichen Straßen markiert dieser Meilenstein einen bedeutenden Fortschritt in der Elektrifizierung sowohl für mobile als auch für stationäre Energieanwendungen. IBIS steht für Intelligent Battery Integrated System, es verbessert die Raumnutzung im Fahrzeug und vereinfacht die Wartung durch den Wegfall separater Lade- und Wechselrichterkomponenten. Die innovative Entwicklung stellt einen bedeutenden Durchbruch für mobile und stationäre Energieanwendungen dar.Eine neue Ära im Design elektrischer AntriebssträngeDas erste voll funktionsfähige batterieelektrische Fahrzeug (BEV) mit IBIS-Technologie ist ein neuer Peugeot E-3008 auf STLA-Medium-Plattform. Der Prototyp ist das Ergebnis jahrelanger Entwicklungsarbeit, Modellierung und Simulation von Stellantis und Saft mit Unterstützung von E2-CAD, Sherpa Engineering sowie führenden französischen Forschungseinrichtungen wie dem CNRS, der Université Paris-Saclay und dem Institut Lafayette. Seit Mitte 2022 ist ein erster IBIS-Demonstrator für stationäre Anwendungen im Einsatz, der zentrale technische Konzepte validiert und zahlreiche Patente hervorgebracht hat. Der Übergang zu einem mobilen Prototypen ist ein entscheidender Entwicklungsschritt.Funktionsweise: Integration, die alles vereinfachtIBIS erfindet den elektrischen Antriebsstrang neu, indem Wechselrichter- und Ladefunktionen direkt in die Batterie integriert werden, unabhängig von der Batterietechnologie oder Anwendung. Diese Architektur unterstützt sowohl Wechselstrom (AC) als auch Gleichstrom (DC) und liefert elektrische Energie direkt an den Motor oder das Bord-Netz, während gleichzeitig das 12-V-Netz und die Nebenaggregate des Fahrzeugs versorgt werden.Hauptvorteile:Die Hauptvorteile sind bis zu 10% Energieeffizienzverbesserung (WLTC-Zyklus) und 15% Leistungsgewinn (172 kW vs. 150 kW) bei gleicher Batteriegröße. Zudem wird das Fahrzeuggewicht um bis zu 40 kg reduziert und gibt so bis zu 17 Liter Volumen frei, was eine bessere Aerodynamik und Designflexibilität ermöglicht.  Alle Fotos: © Stellantis / Stellantis Germany GmbH      Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Aldi zeigt den arrivierten Marken, wie Markenaufbau funktioniert Die Marketing- und Markennews der KW 38 mit folgenden Themen: Aufreger der Woche: - Ben & Jerry's: Jerry Greenfield gibt Rückzug bekannt Themen der Woche: - Hama: Viele haben Produkte von ihr, doch wenige kennen sie so richtig: Die Marke Hama. Hinzu kommen Herausforderungen wie der Online-Handel (Amazon oder Temu). Nun hat Hama die größte Kampagne der Unternehmensgeschichte gelauncht - mit neuem Claim „Technik für uns“. Auf Plakaten und in Spots werden alltägliche Situationen gezeigt. Insgesamt ein Lob von Colin: Starke Systematik, starke Idee, Meta-Kampagne, die gut nachvollziehbar ist. Nur die Ansprache „Technik für uns“ hätte direkter sein können. - Rügelwalder Mühle holt bekannten Feierabend-Song zurück: Der Song wurde modernisiert und wird nur angesungen. Auch hier Lob von Colin: Claim wird aufladen, Song zurückgeholt (weckt Erinnerungen), Werbung als Werbung genutzt. - Swatch mit neuer Edition "What if...Tariffs?". Die Zahlen 3 und 9 wurden auf dem Ziffernblatt vertauscht - als kleine Provokation in Richtung USA (wegen des Zolltarifs in Höhe von 39 %). Es soll eine zeitlich begrenzte und nur in der Schweiz verfügbare Uhrenkreation sein. Fazit: Swatch ist sich treu und beim Produkt geblieben. - Aldi zeigt arrivierten Marken, wie Markenbildung funktioniert - auch bei Handelsmarken: Aldi hat einen neuen Spot veröffentlicht, der beweist: Auch Handelsmarken können eine Heritage haben. Man muss sie erzählen, man muss sie produzieren. Ein emotionaler Spot, der nah am Produkt bleibt. Fundstück der Woche: - Cookit von Bosch Hausgeräte Freut euch auf eine aktive Folge - zum Mitsingen, Mitraten und Tanzen.

In this episode, we talk with Rob Creighton, founder and CEO of Windlift, a deep tech company developing airborne wind energy systems and tethered flight platforms that can both generate power and serve as elevated sensing platforms for defense and commercial applications.Windlift's core platform is a tethered winged UAV—a cross between a quadrotor and a high-lift airfoil—that can autonomously fly patterns to extract energy from wind, delivering power to the ground via tether. Their current small demonstrator (about 25 lbs) can supply 1–3 kW (enough for a household in windy regions), while planned systems around a 40-foot wingspan aim to produce around 75 kW—all container-portable for microgrid and remote deployments. With over $24 million in support from the U.S. Department of Defense, Windlift has built a capability that extends beyond energy: tethered, stable, high-altitude platforms for communications, radar, and maritime sensing (e.g., towed behind ships to detect piracy or drone threats at ranges of 40–50 miles).Underlying their hardware is a software-first approach: Windlift develops its systems using autonomously directed synthetic evolution (AI-guided design optimization) and high-fidelity physics—allowing rapid iteration, mission-specific tailoring, and steep cost-down potential as systems mature.Defense is the first go-to-market, where mobility, weight, and autonomy matter. But commercial energy applications, especially remote microgrids, islands, and areas with wind/solar complementarity, present significant medium-term opportunity. Looking ahead, Windlift believes its technology can reach cost-competitive or lower-cost wind power within 3–5 years—with the right capital and execution.

Mit einer Länge von 4.815 Millimeter, einer Breite von 1.900 Millimetern und einer Höhe von 1.695 Millimetern ohne Dachreling kann man den Kia Sorento nicht gerade als zierlich bezeichnen. Dennoch ist es den Designern gelungen, ihm eine sportliche Form zu geben, die seine Größe etwas vergessen lässt.  Für die Designerleistung spricht auch, dass er im Jahr 2020 mit dem Red Dot und dem iF Award ausgezeichnet wurde. Kia bietet für die aufladbaren Hybridversionen von Niro, Sportage und Sorento die neuen, limitierten Sondermodelle „Plug&Ride“ an. Darum geht es diesmal!Heute schauen wir uns mal den Kia Sorento MQ4 PHEV 1.6 T-GDI an. Falls Sie über das Kürzel MQ4 gestolpert sein sollten, das kann ich auflösen. Der Kia Sorento ist seit der Einführung im Jahr 2002 ein zentraler Pfeiler der weltweiten Kia-Palette, mit MQ4 ist die vierte Modellgeneration gemeint, die im Oktober 2020 an den Start ging, der Plug-in Hybrid, kurz PHEV, folgte Anfang 2021. Power und Drive!    Der Kia Sorento PHEV hat in allen Versionen einen 1.6 T-GDI, der im Zusammenspiel mit einer 1,5-kWh-Lithium-Ionen-Batterie und einem hocheffizienten 44,2-kW-Elektromotor eine Systemleistung von 185 KW (252 PS) erzeugt. Wer den Wagen rein elektrisch betreiben möchte, hat eine Reichweite von bis zu 57 km. Darüber hinaus steht dann der Benzinantrieb zur Verfügung. Der Plug-in-Hybrid ist serienmäßig mit einem angenehmen Sechs-Stufen-Automatikgetriebe ausgestattet, die Maximalgeschwindigkeit erreicht das Kia-SUV-Flaggschiff bei 183 km/h, im rein elektrischen Betrieb ist bei 140 km/h Schluss. In beiden Varianten beschleunigt der Wagen in 8,8 Sekunden von 0 auf 100 km/h.  Die Innenausstattung!Die Ausstattung vorzustellen ist heute schlicht unmöglich, da reicht die Zeit niemals aus. Also nur ein paar wichtige Features. Der Kia Sorento wird optional mit einer dritten Sitzreihe angeboten, damit ist er einer der wenigen siebensitzigen Plug-in-Hybride im SUV-Segment. Da ist es eine gute Lösung, dass die zweite Sitzreihe verschiebbar ist. Auch in Bezug auf Assistenzsysteme lässt Kia sich nicht lumpen, schon im Vision sind aus meiner Sicht wichtige Dinge wie der Ausstiegsassistent und der Querverkehrwarner hinten serienmäßig an Bord. Die Kosten!Den Kia Sorento gibt es als Plug-in-Hybrid in den Ausstattungslinien Vision, Spirit, Plug & Ride und Platinum. Die Plug & Ride Ausstattung ist auch exklusiv dem Plug-in Hybriden vorbehalten. Die Preise beginnen bei 59.640,00 Euro und reichen bis 68.140,00 Euro. Der Sorento Plug & Ride ist mit 62.890,00 Euro auf der Preisskala zwischen Vision und Spirit zu finden und damit nicht – wie ich es erwartet hatte - ganz oben angesiedelt.  Alle Fotos: © Kia Deutschland GmbH    Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1137: VinFast leans into a dealer-driven strategy while VW puts the brakes on ID.4 production despite rock-bottom lease pricing. Meanwhile, Porsche unveils a slick wireless charger for its next-gen Cayenne EV.Show Notes with links:Despite reporting a larger Q2 loss, Vietnamese EV maker VinFast is still betting on a traditional dealership model to accelerate growth and cut costs. The shift marks a major pivot from its direct-to-consumer roots.Q2 net loss hit $812M, up 15% from Q1, as VinFast ramps global marketing and R&D.Revenue rose 91.6% YoY to $663M, with vehicle deliveries jumping 172% to 35,837 units.Founder Pham Nhat Vuong pledged $1.5B to support expansion and R&D as the company moves away from company-owned showrooms to a lighter, franchised dealership model.“We stick to our goal this year and are flexible with our market approach amid (the) changing global situation,” said Chairperson Thuy Le.Despite offering the most affordable EV lease in the U.S., Volkswagen is pausing ID.4 production in Chattanooga as consumer demand continues to drop.Production will stop in late October, affecting 160 workers who will be furloughed with 80% pay and full benefits.ID.4 sales dropped 65% in Q2, down to 1,992 units, compared to 5,665 in the same quarter last year.Loss of federal EV tax credit and increased competition from Hyundai and GM have hurt demand.Volkswagen has dropped lease pricing to $129/month, but discounts haven't reversed the trend.A company spokesperson called the pause a “market-driven decision” with no set restart date.Forget cables—Porsche's new wireless charging pad for the upcoming Cayenne EV brings smartphone-style convenience to your driveway, with high-tech safety features and surprisingly strong performance.The 11-kW wireless charger pad delivers overnight charging speeds, matching typical Level 2 plug-in options.The system activates automatically when a compatible vehicle parks over the pad, eliminating the need to plug in.Pad is air-cooled; vehicle-mounted plate is liquid-cooled and must be pre-wired at the factory.Built-in radar pauses charging if it detects pets or metal objects, adding a layer of safety to home charging.U.S. pricing is still pending, but the full system—including vehicle integration—is expected to cost around $9,500 based on European estimates.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Michael Cirillo0:52 The ebbs and flows of mainstream news1:54 Announcements2:54 Vinfast Announces $812M Q2 Loss5:46 VW To Pause US ID.4 Production9:12 Porsche To Offer Wireless ChargingJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode, we speak with Val Miftakhov, CEO and founder of ZeroAvia, who shares how the clean propulsion systems company is championing hydrogen-electric engines that could transform commercial aviation.Miftakhov discusses:ZeroAvia's vertical integration strategy for developing in-house fuel cells, power electronics, and motors.The company's global expansion with Centres of Excellence in Seattle for electric propulsion systems, Kemble for aircraft integration, and the newly announced Glasgow facility for hydrogen fuel cells.Major commercial traction with 3,000 engines ordered worth $10 billion and another 5,000 in the pipeline, representing up to 8% of the global commercial engine market, with customers including American Airlines and backing from Airbus as lead investor.The certification milestone of achieving G1 approval from the FAA for their 600-kilowatt engine, with commercial operations expected to begin in 2027 for 10-20 seat aircraft, followed by larger regional aircraft in the early 2030s.ZeroAvia's liquid hydrogen developments for longer-range aircraft, including plans to eliminate contrail formation by condensing water vapour at altitude and releasing it as ice below the typical contrail formation zone.Miftakhov also explains why he believes sustainable aviation fuel is ultimately a transition technology, arguing that hydrogen offers superior economics by avoiding the energy-intensive processes required to create synthetic fuels whilst delivering three times better efficiency through fuel cells versus combustion engines.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Daniel Rosen Jacobson, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Elysian Aircraft, who shares the startup's unique approach to electric aviation.

In this episode, we sit down with Jeremy McCool, founder and CEO of HEVO, a company building wireless charging systems for electric vehicles. Think of a garage-floor charging pad—pull in, align, and your car charges automatically. HEVO has been solving the physics, standards and automotive integration work for over a decade, and now stands at the front line of commercial adoption.HEVO is underway with two major global automakers, including Stellantis (Jeep, Dodge, Fiat, Peugeot, and more), to integrate wireless charging into up to seven EV platforms beginning 2027–2028. This isn't a small bolt-on—the company has achieved UL certification and alignment with SAE wireless charging standards, clearing essential hurdles for true automotive-grade integration.Beyond the OEM opportunity, HEVO is partnering with Steer Tech to enable autonomous parking + wireless charging for fleet yards—a use case that eliminates manual charging attendants and enables round-the-clock operation. Wireless charging isn't just convenient—it's the missing piece for scaling autonomous fleets.HEVO's cost and efficiency discipline makes this more than a vision. The company's target pricing for on-vehicle components aims to be competitive with plug-in equipment, while the 11 kW bidirectional home charger is priced at $1,200, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) power during outages. With grid-to-battery efficiency in the low-to-mid 90%, 85 kHz universality, and a 12-inch air gap tolerance, HEVO is designed for scale.The most striking part: once an OEM launches, the curve goes from flat to 50,000+ units in year one—across multiple vehicle programs. HEVO expects to be profitable on hardware and software at volume from day one of scaling production.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1135: Friendly Chevy's charging park is pulling in revenue and conquest sales, BYD takes a profit hit in China's price war, and Google's “Nano Banana” might just beat ChatGPT at the AI image game.Show Notes with links:Back in 2021, Friendly Chevrolet's Mark Eddins saw a gap in the EV experience—and filled it. With GM rolling out EV standards, he went all-in on a unique charging park open to all EV brands. Today, EVHQ is paying off in brand loyalty, new customers, and revenue.EVHQ opened March 2023 near downtown Dallas with eight 120-kW fast chargers under a canopy, staffed 24/7.It offers a lounge-style experience: movie room, Corvette Cafe, Wi-Fi, play area, dog park—even roadside charging.All EV brands are welcome; a free membership gets 20% off retail charging, and an app is launching soon.Revenue hit $300K in 2024 and is on pace for $400K this year, with over 10,000 users and 1,200 monthly sessions.EV sales at the store more than doubled in 2025 so far.“I wanted to be one of those guys that had something nobody else had,” Eddins said. “It is beyond my wildest dreams, quite frankly.”Even as BYD pushes aggressively into overseas markets, the Chinese EV giant is taking heat at home. A brutal domestic price war cut deep into profits last quarter, despite record sales and growing international presence.BYD's Q2 net profit dropped 30% year-over-year to $891M, even as revenue rose 14%.The company blames “excessive marketing” and fierce price-cutting across China's EV space.Retail prices in China have fallen 19% over two years, triggering concern from regulators.First-half revenue still jumped 23%, with record new energy vehicle sales.In Europe, BYD's July registrations hit 13,000+—up 225% year-over-year.A new challenger has entered the AI image arena. Google's “Nano Banana” image generator—recently added to Gemini—might just be the first serious rival to ChatGPT's viral image dominance. And it's got some surprising strengths.Nano Banana delivers sharper realism, faster generation, and better character consistency.It keeps visual details intact across prompts, and it's images often look more natural and less AI-generated.Gemini's model also handles real photo uploads better—especially when combining images or changing backgrounds."If you want something that's very quick and gets the job done in the most realistic way possible… Gemini's Nano Banana is the clear winner," wrote one reviewer.0:00 Intro with Kyle Mountsier and Ben Hadley1:03 Announcements1:46 Friendly Chevy's EVHQ Charging Station6:00 BYD Q2 Profit Drops 30%10:04 Google's Nano Banana OutperformsJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this no-fluff episode of Rethink Real Estate, host Ben Brady is joined by Brett Jennings, CEO and Founder of Real Estate Experts, one of the most respected real estate teams in the Bay Area. From selling candy in grade school to working for Tony Robbins, Brett's entrepreneurial journey led him to build a top-producing team inside Side Real Estate—and a company that's redefining what it means to deliver true value in the real estate industry.Brett shares how his time with Tony Robbins shaped his obsession with modeling high-performance agents, building intentional systems, and creating a business where coaching, culture, and client outcomes take priority. He opens up about the mistakes most agents make when building a team, the three critical systems that determine whether a team thrives or plateaus, and why environment—not ego—is the key to sustainable growth in real estate.Ben and Brett dive into what most brokers and agents get wrong about cost vs. value, why cheap splits can be a trap, and how to attract top producers without forming an entourage. Brett also discusses his early adoption of Side, why he left Keller Williams, and how Real Estate Experts is shifting the real estate industry from transactional to transformational.Whether you're a solo agent, a team leader, or thinking about your exit strategy, this episode is packed with mindset shifts, tactical advice, and real talk about what it takes to grow a purposeful, scalable real estate business.⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics:[00:00:00] – Brett's Journey: From Tony Robbins to Real Estate[00:03:40] – The Power of Modeling & Building a Values-Based Team[00:08:50] – From Short Sales to Scaling with Systems That Last[00:13:45] – Why Environment Beats Willpower Every Time[00:18:00] – The Problem with Discount Brokerages & Ego in Real Estate[00:25:10] – Becoming a Brokerage Partner: Side, KW, EXP & More[00:30:00] – Brett's Vision to Shift Real Estate From Transactional to Relational

In this episode of the Clean Power Hour, Tim Montague and John Weaver unpack the latest developments shaping the clean energy landscape. From federal treasury guidance on safe harbor rules to Africa's record solar imports, Indonesia's massive microgrid project, EV tax credit updates, prefab solar carports, and lessons learned from hurricane-tested solar arrays, the conversation explores how solar, wind, and storage are transforming global energy markets.Episode Highlights New federal treasury guidance on safe harbor shifts rules for large-scale projects, moving from a 5% spend requirement to continuous construction (PV Magazine).Installers must diversify, with batteries, EV infrastructure, and heat pumps becoming essential parts of the business model.EV buyers can lock in the $7,500 tax credit through 2026 with a down payment and contract today (IRS).Africa set a record with 1.6 GW of Chinese solar panel imports in May 2024, with countries like Chad leapfrogging traditional infrastructure (Wired Magazine).Indonesia is launching one of the world's largest distributed energy projects, targeting 80,000 villages with 1 MW solar and 4 MWh battery microgrids.

COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute. A studio quality, slightly longer, podcast version is available on the BBC World Service website.

In this episode, we speak with Luke Farajallah, CEO of Loganair, UK's largest regional airline that operates the world's shortest commercial flight and the only airline globally that lands commercially on a beach.Farajallah discusses:Loganair's unique "fishing in a big pond" approach to sustainable aviation, investing simultaneously in SAF, hybrid-electric aircraft with Heart Aerospace, and hydrogen propulsion with ZeroAvia rather than betting on a single technology.Why regional airlines are better positioned than major carriers to pioneer sustainable aviation, given their shorter routes, smaller aircraft, and wider technology options beyond expensive, imported sustainable aviation fuel.The company's mandatory £1 carbon offset programme included in every ticket, funding local environmental projects across Scotland through their Green Skies initiative, achieving near-zero customer resistance.Strategic partnerships, including equipping Embraer aircraft with 130kg water vapour sensors for the UK Met Office to study contrail environmental impacts, and plans for the world's first hydrogen-powered commercial flight from Orkney.As a leader who transformed Loganair's operational performance from 22nd to 2nd place in European rankings in just 12 months, Farajallah brings a results-driven approach to balancing commercial viability with environmental responsibility whilst serving communities that depend entirely on aviation connectivity.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Sally Davey, CEO of Travelyst.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1121: We cover the rapid growth in EV charging infrastructure even as EV sales plateau, Tesla's China-only 500+ mile Model 3, and a solar-powered drone that just stayed airborne for 74 hours without a drop of fuel.Show Notes with links:EV sales brace for slump, but charging networks surge ahead with automaker supportDespite challenges in EV sales, the U.S. fast-charging network is rapidly expanding and may actually meet infrastructure goals—whether or not EV adoption keeps pace.The U.S. hit nearly 60,000 fast-charging ports in Q2 and is on track for 19% growth in 2025.Private investment, not government aid, is fueling most of this growth as NEVI funds stall, with new players like Ionna and Mercedes-Benz expanding fastTesla dominates with 54% market share; Electrify America and ChargePoint trail at under 8%.“There will be more choice, more infrastructure and, hopefully, better experiences for EV drivers,” said Loren McDonald, chief analyst at Paren.This comes as U.S. EV registrations rose 4.6% in June, but EV market share slipped to 8.6%—down from 8.8% last year—signaling a stagnant market.Tesla's registrations dropped 6%, while GM surged with Chevrolet up 152% and Cadillac up 87%, showing shifting momentum among major players.Tesla has quietly introduced its longest-range Model 3 to date, the "Model 3 Plus," capable of up to 515 miles—but only for the Chinese market, for now.The 830 km (CLTC-rated) Model 3 Plus uses a more powerful 225 kW motor and LG-supplied lithium-ion batteries.It achieves long range with just a 78.4 kWh battery thanks to efficiency gains, not just capacity.Tesla aims to compete directly with high-range local EVs like the Xiaomi SU7 and is expected to launch the model in China by September with a price just under $38K.“This effectively shatters the 700 km psychological ceiling,” said Shanghai-based analyst Li Wei.Aviation startup Skydweller Aero just pulled off a wild feat: flying a solar-powered drone for 74 hours straight—twice—without touching down or using a drop of fuel.The drone has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 747 and runs solely on solar power and batteries.Its 17,000 solar cells power flight by day and charge 1,400 pounds of onboard batteries to keep flying at night.Recent Navy tests suggest big military potential in anti-piracy, smuggling patrols, and backup GPS missions.Skydweller also has commercial ambitions, including remote internet delivery and environmental monitoring.“There's a lot of money to be made in something that never touches the ground,” the company noted.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) sit down with Bitfarms power duo Rachel Silverstein (GC & firm-builder) and Alex Brammer (ex-Ranger turned HPC czar) to map out Bitfarms' high-voltage pivot from pure Bitcoin mining to hyperscale AI infrastructure. They unpack how a 460 MW fleet, a gigawatt development pipeline, and a fresh $300 million Macquarie project-finance deal are transforming legacy mining sites into liquid-cooled, 600 kW-per-rack AI engines. Discover why a “dream-team” exec roster, project-level debt, and a land-plus-power land-grab strategy could vault Bitfarms from blocks to bots—and what it all means for energy markets, AI's compute arms race, and the future of work.

We have interviewed them a few times so now its just the last piece to their "wonder how we can move to KW" story. EnjoyOh also.... We were recording in a car driving down the road and we were testing the sound ...... I had to leave it in LOL Hello Hello Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

In this episode of the Data Center Frontier Show, Editor-in-Chief Matt Vincent speaks with LiquidStack CEO Joe Capes about the company's breakthrough GigaModular platform — the industry's first scalable, modular Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) purpose-built for direct-to-chip liquid cooling. With rack densities accelerating beyond 120 kW and headed toward 600 kW, LiquidStack is targeting the real-world requirements of AI data centers while streamlining complexity and future-proofing thermal design. “AI will keep pushing thermal output to new extremes,” Capes tells DCF. “Data centers need cooling systems that can be easily deployed, managed, and scaled to match heat rejection demands as they rise.” LiquidStack's new GigaModular CDU, unveiled at the 2025 Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes, delivers up to 10 MW of scalable cooling capacity. It's designed to support single-phase direct-to-chip liquid cooling — a shift from the company's earlier two-phase immersion roots — via a skidded modular design with a pay-as-you-grow approach. The platform's flexibility enables deployments at N, N+1, or N+2 resiliency. “We designed it to be the only CDU our customers will ever need,” Capes says. Tune in to listen to the whole discussion, which goes on to explore why edge infrastructure and EV adoption will drive the next wave of sector innovation. 

Bob Freling has been the Executive Director of the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) since 1997. Its mission is to design, fund, and implement solar energy solutions to benefit those in poor communities without access to the electricity grid, helping others to overcome energy poverty. SELF provides energy access in the developing world and has an impressive track record of providing more than 750 solar systems in over 20 countries. Bob Freling was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and was educated at Yale University where he earned his degree in Russian Studies. He has an intense appreciation of linguistics having studied Spanish, French, Russian, and Mandarin. After colleage, and when on assignment in Taiwan, he joined the antinuclear movement, and came upon clean solar energy and SELF. He never looked back, realizing the life-changing value of solar in the developing world.Bob discusses SELF's evolution from providing small household, 50-watt solar solutions -- which powered a few lights and a radio -- to the "whole village development model" which provides a broader spectrum of benefits including community water pumping, power for health clinics, streetlighting, and microenterprise centers. One memorable project was in the Valley of a Thousand Hills in South Africa. There, SELF installed a satellite dish and 2.4 kW solar array that powered a school which received 20 personal computers donated by Dell Computers. All of a sudden, that community had access not only to energy but to "the universe of information." Another project was in the African country of Benin where SELF supported water pumping and drip irrigation, and hydroponics, fostering solar market gardens run by women's farming cooperatives.Recently SELF has been promoting new forms of agriculture in Masai villages in Kenya... using water most judiciously and effectively. SELF is also focused on e-cooking using advanced electric cooking devices. Bob discusses the great value of the sun in supporting the energy-water-food nexus and is thankful for the support SELF has received from foundations, philanthropists, corporations, and international aid agencies. For his dedication and important works, Bob was honored to receive the King Hussein Leadership Award which was presented to him by Jordan's Queen Noor.
