Welcome to this week's episode of the Everything EV Podcast from EV Powered, where Matt Allan, Richard Alvin, and George East break down the latest in electric vehicles, policy updates, and high-performance innovations.In this episode:• EV Sales Continue to Rise Despite Market Slowdown: The SMMT's latest figures show a 41% year-on-year increase in EV registrations, even as the overall UK car market dipped 2.5%. However, fleet sales continue to dominate while private buyers remain hesitant.• SMMT Criticises EV Car Tax Increase: With the £490 luxury tax on EVs over £40,000 set to take effect in April, we discuss how this outdated threshold (unchanged since 2008) could hinder adoption and penalise mainstream buyers.• France's Controversial EV and ICE Taxation: President Macron's government is doubling down on emissions penalties while introducing hefty weight-based taxes—potentially adding thousands of euros to EVs and petrol cars alike. Is this the right way to push electrification?• Volkswagen's Mystery Small EV – The ID.1 (or Up?) Volkswagen has teased a new entry-level EV set to debut in March, with a projected price tag of around £17,000. Could this be the return of the VW Up, or will it be a fresh addition to the ID lineup?• Audi Reverses Its Confusing EV Naming Strategy: After its 2023 decision to separate ICE and EV models by even and odd numbers, Audi has scrapped the plan and returned to its traditional naming conventions—aiming to fix customer confusion and boost EV appeal.• The Return of Vanwall with a Pricey IONIQ 5 Clone: The reborn Vanwall VanderWaal is essentially an IONIQ 5 in disguise—only it costs a staggering £107,000. We crunch the numbers and find out what you could buy instead (spoiler: a brand-new IONIQ 5 and another EV).• Exclusive Interview: Stoffel Vandoorne on Formula E and His Racing Future: We catch up with the Formula E and ex-Formula 1 driver to discuss the evolving world of electric motorsport.• Ford's 1,600bhp Mustang Mach-E Heads to Pikes Peak: The Ford Performance Racing Team is prepping an all-electric Mach-E for Pikes Peak 2024, following their success with the SuperVan and F-150 Lightning in previous years. Will this be the next record-breaker?• Ferrari's First Electric Supercar Unveiling in October: Ferrari has confirmed the launch of its first fully electric model, currently being tested under a Maserati Levante body. Will this EV shake up the hypercar world like the Porsche Taycan did?• Citroën's New EC3 Aircross is Cheaper Than Its Hybrid Counterpart: In a landmark moment, Citroën has priced its new EV crossover £1,000 cheaper than the hybrid version, making the electric option more affordable than ever. Could this be the first of many budget-friendly EVs?• Could Renault's 0% Finance Deals Make the R5 a Game-Changer? With low monthly costs from £168, Richard is seriously tempted—will he swap his Lotus Eletre order for something smaller?With government-backed EV loans, more budget-friendly electric models, and major manufacturers making bold moves, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for EV adoption.Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EV Powered⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ online and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠

The Lotus Emira is fantastic — and the Carmudgeons have a lot to say about it. The last gasoline-powered Lotus is certainly a looker — but it's very closely related to the Evora it replaces. And while the Evora was always good, was it ever truly great? == Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == Jason, who owns a Lotus Elise, is always in search of "bad cars" — sports cars that provide experience but make poor transportation devices. Is the Evora enough of an assault on its driver's senses? Derek isn't a fan of the Elise because of the sounds its creaky body and rattly interior make — he loves a great GT. Is the Evora comfortable enough? Luckily, the boys have a clear answer to the question: Lotus Evora or Porsche 911? And then a unanimous decision on the Lotus Eletre, the brand's first SUV: it drives unlike anything else. Jason drove the Eletre as a surprise — without knowing anything about it. A Lotus engineer told the boys it was a 905-hp Eletre R with 3 motors and torque vectoring. Turns out the 905 hp comes from 2 motors, and what Jason felt and described as the most obvious torque-vectoring he's ever felt is actually rear-wheel steering. Whatever the cause, the boys both enjoy the SUV's maneuverability and outrageous speed (Lotus claims 0-60 in under 3 seconds.) Is there a future for Lotus in a heavy-EV world? There shouldn't be. But Jason and Derek feel there is. == The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

So... I understand we are full speed ahead with whatever the future of vehicle transportation will be. Whether we fall head first into electric, hybrid, hydrogen, or something else not yet invented, we are going somewhere that does not involve combustion engines. However, on our journey there, we are constantly being introduced to some new idea of what this future will be, and often that future is not looking that great. Lotus has given us their take on the electric SUV and well.... look.

It's EV News Briefly for Monday 10th July. I'll be back as usual at 5pm UK time, that's Midday Eastern, for the full podcast.  Patreon supporters get the episodes as soon as they're ready AND ad free. You can be like them by clicking here. Reviews are out of the new Lotus Eletre, the brand's first electric SUV. The interior has a 15” central touchscreen, and a range of up to 373 miles from the 112kWh battery.  It comes with a dual motor drivetrain, and three versions: base, S, and R, with increasing power outputs. Starts from £105,000, weighs from 2,520kg which makes some people say it's not a pure Lotus. 0-62mph in 2.9seconds. Audi is considering purchasing an electric car platform from a Chinese competitor due to delays with its own SSP platform. The move aims to continue delivering electric vehicles while waiting for VW's Trinity platform. Audi is in talks with manufacturers, although no specific details are mentioned. Audi's has also emphasised the need for faster localization in the Chinese market. While Audi focuses on local research, development, and market understanding, speeding up the localization process is necessary to keep up with the rapidly changing market conditions. Tesla sold a record 93,680 vehicles made in China in June 2023. The Model Y was the best performer, with 63,043 units sold. Tesla also exported 19,468 vehicles made in Shanghai to overseas markets. In the first half of the year, Tesla sold a total of 476,539 vehicles made in China, a significant increase from the previous year. Tesla has updated its US referral program to increase sales of the Model 3 and Model Y. Referred buyers now receive a $500 discount and three months of free Full-Self Driving (FSD). Referrers earn Tesla credit points for Supercharging or accessories. The update aims to sell "old" Model 3 and Model Y units before the release of facelifted versions. Fisker has experienced a slow production ramp-up of its Ocean electric SUV due to supplier issues. In Q2 2023, only 1,022 Oceans were produced, and deliveries started six months later than planned. Fisker is working with suppliers to increase volumes and plans to invest in additional battery-pack capacity. SAIC Motor, China's largest automaker, is planning to build an EV factory in Europe as part of its overseas expansion strategy. The company is seeking a site in Europe but hasn't provided specific details. SAIC sold 530,000 vehicles overseas in Q1 2023, a 40% increase from the previous year. French Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire is hopeful about Tesla making a significant investment in France. France has created favorable conditions for investment, and the government has been actively pursuing opportunities with Tesla. France aims to offer viable land with sufficient power infrastructure for a potential Tesla factory. The China Association of Auto Manufacturers (CAAM) has withdrawn a pricing pledge among 16 automakers, ending a temporary ceasefire in the EV price war in China. The pledge was seen as a violation of antitrust law. Automakers have been cutting prices to stimulate demand, and the pricing war is expected to continue as the EV market grows. General Motors (GM) has reduced the starting price of the Cadillac Lyriq EV in China by nearly 14% following price cuts by Volkswagen. The Lyriq is based on GM's Ultium EV architecture and is now priced at 379,700 yuan. GM hopes to increase sales of the Lyriq in China. The Little Car Company in the UK is creating a full-sized, drivable version of the Tamiya Wild One RC car from the 1980s. Named the Wild One Max, it can reach speeds of up to 62 mph and will be street legal in Europe. It will weigh approximately 1100 pounds and be priced around $45,000. Renault's Global Production Engineering Center in France operates a prototype plant to develop representative prototypes of future Renault models. The facility is currently producing prototypes of the all-electric Renault 5, starting with "mules" tested in Lapland. It allows for testing, validation, and refinement of the design with support from Technocentre experts.

Tu and Lei begin the podcast with their thoughts on the Jidu Auto ROBO-01 production model unveil. They both seemed pretty impressed and detailed that Jidu Auto is going directly after Tesla customers once the ROBO-01 hits the streets in 2023. They then get into how fast Jidu Auto has been moving in order to get their product into production and think it's even faster than what is commonly known as 'China speed.'Lei then asks Tu - Lotus Eletre or Polestar 3? A discussion follows on about Geely and the two competing brands within Geely's own stable.The discussion moves to Argo closing up shop - some Monday AM quarterbacking is done as to why it happened and why now.The show closes on unpacking how Tesla slashing prices on its MIC Model 3/Y will affect the rest of the market and which companies are likely to follow suit.

Tu and Lei start this show out by paying homage and giving a big shout-out to their friends that live in Shanghai that are currently on lockdown. After the headlines, Lei gives everyone a lesson on the EV100 Conference that is normally held each January but was delayed and finally put online last week. One highlight of the EV100 was the announcement from Horizon Robotics about licensing their IP to OEMs so that the OEMs could piggyback off of their existing chip technology in order to design their own SoCs.Tu shifts the conversation over to compelling design takes a happy marriage between hardware and software and one without the other would likely make for a bad UX.The discussion then shifts to XPeng earnings. Lei summarizes the ‘flagpoles' that XPeng is planting this year likely hit their margins in 2021. The momentum of the P5 & G9 should help them build on their margins as XPeng only needs to focus on marketing these vehicles and launching them on time and on budget. Tu then shifts to talking about the launch of the Lotus Eletre and the reactions on social media from the various interested parties. Lei discusses how surprised he was about the Lotus's extensive sensor kit for ADAS/AV and how now LiDAR and premium sound have become qualifying features in the near-premium/premium segments. Tu closes out the pod with his take on Vinfast and their aggressive moves into the US market including their recent announcement of building a factory in North Carolina.

Show #1420 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Wednesday 30th March, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. LOTUS ELETRE OPENS A NEW FRONT IN ELECTRIC SUVS - the new era of Lotus as an EV maker begins with this, the Eletre. It takes elements we've seen on the Evija battery-electric hypercar and Emira ICE sports car, wraps them in a larger package, jacks them up, and throws in a lot of new tech for the brand and the market. - The Eletre is 201 inches long on a 118.9-inch wheelbase, about 79 inches wide, and 64 inches high. Every one of those dimensions puts the Lotus within a couple of inches of the Aston Martin DBX - All we're told is the pack is more than 100 kWh and output starts at 600 horsepower. Every Eletre is all-wheel-drive, with a motor on each axle. - The 800-volt electrical architecture can handle up to 350-kW fast-charging, 20 minutes at a station at that charge rate restoring 248 WLTP miles of the Eletre's estimated 373-mile range in WLTP testing. 62 miles per hour in under 3 seconds and hit a top speed of 161 mph. - The electronic side mirror housings each contain three cameras, one camera for the rear views, one to help stitch a 360-degree overhead view, and one to help enable self-driving. - A slim gauge cluster and a head-up display provides the driver with relevant info, front passengers get a similar slim display that can display infotainment options. Between them, a 15.1-inch infotainment touchscreen that lays flat when not in use. Original Source : https://www.autoblog.com/2022/03/29/lotus-eletre-electric-suv-revealed/#slide-2390677 2025 LOTUS ELETRE FIRST LOOK: SIMPLIFY, THEN ADD AN ELECTRIC LUXURY SUV - multi-link air suspension and continuously variable damping all round. Active ride height and active anti-roll bars, along with rear-wheel steering and torque vectoring will be available as options on the Eletre, along with 23-inch alloy wheels - Four different drive modes—Range, Tour, Sport and Off-Road—adjust steering and accelerator pedal response, along with damping rates and powertrain output. And Individual mode will allow drivers to mix and match some settings to suit their personal driving styles. - The four LIDAR units, one at the top of the windshield, one at the top of the backlight, and one on each front fender, are hidden when not in use, thus preserving the Eletre's svelte appearance. - For context, the Eletre has 2.1 inches more space between the axles than a Tesla Model X and is 2.6 inches longer overall and 0.8 inches lower. This is not a small Lotus. - The rear is dominated two large vents that are bridged by a thin light bar, and a roof spoiler system that comprises two carbon fibre winglets cantilevered from the roof cant rails. The winglets function just like a conventional, full-width roof spoiler, guiding airflow down the backlight and on to a spoiler that deploys out of the tailgate at speed. Original Source : https://www.motortrend.com/news/2025-lotus-eletre-first-look-review/ LOTUS' ALL-ELECTRIC ELETRE SUV HAS A GRILL THAT 'BREATHES' - SUVs are entirely new to Lotus. Even long after Bentley and Porsche brushed aside tradition and released their own first SUVs, Lotus remained a sports-car-only company. With SUVs becoming the dominant passenger vehicle type, it may have been inevitable that Lotus would eventually throw its hat into the ring. As might be expected, Lotus brought a lot of its old sports car tricks into the design and manufacturing of the Eletre. - Lotus says the Eletre features “extensive” use of carbon fiber and aluminum to keep the (still undisclosed) weight down. The exterior body panels are aluminum, and all the black exterior trim pieces, such as the wheel arches, rear spoiler, and side-view mirrors, are carbon fiber. Hard interior trim pieces are also carbon fiber, and the seats are wrapped in a wool-blend fabric that, according to Lotus, is 50 percent lighter than typical leather seating. - An active front grill comprises interconnected triangular panels which stay closed when the Eletre is stopped or when it needs to reduce aerodynamic drag and automatically open to scoop air to the radiator to cool the electric motors, battery pack, or front brakes when needed. During this locking and unlocking sequence, the active grill “breathes” as the illuminated flush-fitting door handles deploy, opening and closing the vented panels.

According to Kyle Conner, the weather was perfect, maybe beside from some wind during part of the test. The result is a pretty solid 254 miles (409 km), including the few last miles covered around the fast charging station at lower speeds. - For reference, the EPA Combined range is 274 miles (441 km), Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/576754/kia-ev6-awd-70mph-range/ TESLA GIGA BERLIN-MADE MODEL YS ARE DELIVERED TO MANNHEIM, GERMANY - Giga Berlin-made Model Ys have been delivered to Mannheim, Germany. This is the first known delivery of the manufacturer's domestically produced vehicles since the ceremonial handover of 30 Model Ys on March 22 by Elon Musk. - . It was reported today that Denmark also hosted a delivery ceremony for the Giga Berlin-made Model Y, marking the first mention of international delivery of German-made vehicles. Five Model Y Performances are reported to have been delivered. - However, it turns out that before that, Tesla had already delivered Giga Berlin-made Model Ys domestically. @samuel_glb/Twitter tweeted that the German-made cars were delivered to the Mannheim delivery center to be handed over to the owners on March 29. He reported that “about 2 trucks” loaded with black Model Y Performances had arrived at the delivery center, although the exact number of vehicles was not mentioned.

The district has not been affected so far by the city's two-stage COVID-19 lockdown, which started in the east on Monday. - Four sources said workers at one of the sites, which makes wire harnesses, were abruptly told to head home on Tuesday.

The update delivers Android Automotive 11 for the Polestar 2, the car's third major Android version. - Radio reception has apparently been improved, and there's a fix for the interruption of GPS navigation when switching profiles on the car. There are also improvements to the Polestar app with this update, including real-time state of charge status and more control over climate settings. Original Source : https://9to5google.com/2022/03/29/polestar-2-gets-android-automotive-11-its-third-major-android-version/ RISING FUEL PRICES? BUY AN ELECTRIC VAN AND SAVE 25% ON RUNNING COSTS, ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP SAYS - The average electric van in Europe is 25 per cent cheaper to own and operate over its lifetime than the diesel equivalent, despite much higher upfront costs for zero-emission models, according to the environmental campaign group Transport and Environment (T&E). - In a new study covering six countries - France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom - which account for 76 per cent of the European van market, T&E found an electric van costs €0.15 per kilometre to run, compared to €0.20 for a diesel van. - Even when excluding government subsidies on the purchase of electric vehicles, T&E found electric vans were still cheaper overall in five of the six countries, while in Germany the cost was the same.

Electric vehicle owner Max Wilkinson - who is also a Cheltenham Councillor - recently bought a four-year-old hybrid Mini Countryman. He went home - but returned two hours later by which time the hybrid Mini was about half-charged. A week later Max received a penalty notice saying he'd been fined £90. Mr Wilkinson has paid the fine and doesn't dispute it. But he does think it doesn't quite make sense to restrict car charging to 90 minutes as well. - He said: “It seems illogical that quite a lot of EV and hybrid owners won't be allowed to spend enough time in the car park to get a full charge.” Email me any feedback to: hello@evnewsdaily.com It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.

We've got a full team this week as Robbie drove the updated 2024 Polestar 2, Nicole had the Ford F-150 Raptor R and Hyundai Palisade and Sam spent time with the Mazda CX-90 plug-in hybrid.Sam got to spend a few days in Munich this week at the IAA Mobility show which included some ride and drive opportunities in some Chinese built cars. First up was the new Lotus Eletre, a radically different type of vehicle from the brand created by Colin Chapman. Later this week, Lotus also unveiled the new Emeya electric four-door GT in New York. Lotus is now owned by China's Geely Group which also owns Zeekr, whose first product, the 001 shares a platform with the upcoming Polestar 4 including its Mobileye SuperVision hands free driving assist system. Finally, there was the Xpeng P7, a very impressive electric sedan from this relatively young Chinese brand. During IAA, there were a number of concepts unveiled that are very close to upcoming production models, the Mercedes-Benz CLA, the BMW Neue Klasse and the VW ID GTI. BMW also designed to end its test of charging a subscription for features like heated seats.The show wraps up with interviews that Sam did with Acura ZDX chief engineer John Wong and design manager Andrew Foster.LinksLotus EletreXpeng p7BMW neue klasseMercedes CLAVW iD GTIBMW drops heated seat subscriptionsLotus EmeyaLet's go back to smaller wheelsOur Sponsors:* Check out Express VPN: https://expressvpn.com/WHEELBEARINGSAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
