Volvo says the deal grows retailer sales and service revenue without the financial risk of investing in the brand — notable given it sold its 30% Lynk & Co stake to Zeekr for 5.4 billion yuan (about $805m).VOLVO DROPS EX40 AS EX50 EXPECTED IN 2027Volvo is discontinuing the EX40 in the US and Canada, with its expected replacement, the slightly larger EX50 on the cheaper SPA3 platform and priced in the high $40,000s, not due at dealerships until autumn 2027. The EX40 rode on the near decade-old CMA platform and sold best through the Care by Volvo subscription scheme that ended in 2024; the EX60 P6 now marks Volvo's electric SUV entry point at $59,795 against the EX40's $56,545.NISSAN REVIVES PIXO AS ITS MOST AFFORDABLE EUROPEAN EVNissan will revive the Pixo name for its cheapest European EV, an A-segment model sitting below the Micra and premiering on 23 September 2026, built on Renault's RGEV Small platform alongside the Twingo and Dacia Spring at Novo Mesto in Slovenia. Expected to be mechanically identical to the Twingo Electric with a 27.5 kWh CATL LFP pack and around 263 km of range, it gets Nissan-designed styling drawing on late-80s and early-90s Pike cars such as the Figaro and Be-1, against Twingo and Spring prices of €20,000 and €18,000.POLESTAR FORMULA 2030 SIGNALS POLESTAR 2 AND 7 STYLINGPolestar has revealed Formula 2030, a design concept previewing the next Polestar 2 due in 2027 and the forthcoming Polestar 7, tied to its 2030 strategy for higher sales and a route to profitability. Only a dark image of the front has been released, showing a lower, wider stance, Dual Blade headlights and a motorsport-style vertical wiper, marking a new phase under design head Philipp Römers that Polestar calls an evolution rather than a replacement of its existing language.MERCEDES VLE 400 4MATIC STARTS AT €78,500Mercedes-Benz has added the 310 kW VLE 400 4MATIC, which gains a rear-axle motor for all-wheel drive, a 6.5-second 0-100 km/h time and 2.5 tonnes of towing against the VLE 300's 1.75 tonnes, from €78,500 (about $91,500) with five seats or €79,000 with six. The performance costs range: both share a 115 kWh usable NMC pack, but the 4MATIC manages up to 654 km WLTP versus 713 km, with 800-volt architecture allowing DC charging at up to 300 kW.AMAZON STARTS EACTROS 600 DELIVERIES IN GERMANYAmazon has begun larger-scale German deliveries with Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 electric trucks on middle-mile runs between logistics centres and urban areas, drawn from a 2025 order of more than 200 trucks — around 50 for Germany and 140 for the UK, where operations started in late 2025. The trucks carry 621 kWh across three LFP packs for around 500 km of range and charge at up to 400 kW, as Amazon installs several hundred truck charging points and commits more than €1bn to electrifying its European transport network, including over €400m in Germany.RENAULT SETS TWO-YEAR FLOOR FOR VEHICLE DEVELOPMENTRenault is targeting two years or less from concept freeze to public reveal but CEO Francois Provost says it will go no faster, treating the timetable as a quality floor as well as a speed ambition under the Futuready 2030 investor plan. The aim is to match Chinese rivals gaining European share — standard at two years and moving towards 18 months, against three to five years for Western rivals — while avoiding defects and recalls, a concern echoed by Chinese regulators now running a yearlong campaign of unannounced quality and safety inspections.FORD TRANSIT CITY TO COST $50,000 IN AUSTRALIAFord Australia will launch the Transit City in November at AUD$50,000 driveaway (about USD$36,000), claiming the country's most affordable electric van against the Kia PV5 Cargo Long Range at AUD$55,990, with a 56 kWh LFP battery giving 254 km WLTP, 87 kW DC charging, 10-80% in about 33 minutes, a 1085 kg payload and 6.4 cubic metres of cargo space. The price comes with limits — no towing, no V2L, a solid bulkhead with no pass-through or window and colour as the only option — and the van is built by JV partner JMC in Nanchang on the E-Fushun platform rather than being related to the European Transit.BYD UK OPENS 138-SITE APPROVED REPAIR NETWORKBYD UK has launched a nationwide network of 138 approved body repairers developed with Vizion Network, which BYD describes as the UK's largest repair network. Every site uses technicians trained in BYD procedures, genuine parts and manufacturer-specified methods, adding accident repair to an ownership package that already includes a six-year warranty, maintenance support and up to four years of free roadside assistance.ZF PLANS MORE THAN 100 ELECTRIC AXLE DRIVE REPAIR-KIT VARIANTSZF will launch more than 100 repair-kit variants for electric axle drives in the coming weeks, each bundling the components needed for a specific repair as the company targets independent workshops servicing a growing EV fleet, though it has disclosed neither prices nor vehicle applications and has not substantiated its claim to cover around 92% of the European fleet of the 20 most widespread electric models. ZF also plans up to 200 catalogue references for Chinese-brand vehicles in Europe by Q1 2027, covering ten of the most popular Chinese models by the end of that year.

It's ev.news Briefly for Thursday 20 August 2026, only todays headlines and nothing else, in just 4 minutes if you haven't got time for the full show.Patreon supporters fund this show, get the episodes ad free, as soon as they're ready and are part of the ev.news Community. You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/evnewsGENESIS UNVEILS 648BHP GV90 ELECTRIC SUVGenesis has revealed the GV90, a production version of the Neolun concept and its largest, most luxurious model yet, measuring almost 5.3m long with a 123.5kWh battery, up to 311 miles of range, 800V charging at 350kW and a 648bhp dual-motor setup with limited-slip differentials on each axle. It goes on sale in South Korea next month and reaches Europe in the first half of 2027, with UK orders expected to open above £100,000.IMPORTER BRINGS CHINESE-MARKET AUDI EVS TO EUROPEAuto China is importing, homologating and registering Chinese-market AUDI E5 Sportback and E7X electric cars for European sale, undercutting Audi's own models — the 776hp E5 costs €28,000 less than the 543hp S6 Sportback e-tron — with a charging adapter and a two-year warranty through independent repairers. The risks include unclear parts supply, workshops unfamiliar with the cars, driver-assistance tuned for Chinese roads, and the precedent of Volkswagen suing over imported ID.6s in 2023, after which those cars were destroyed.68% OF AUSTRALIAN EV OWNERS FLAG CHARGING GAP IN NRMA SURVEYAn NRMA survey of 42,472 members, including 1,730 EV owners, found 68% of EV owners concerned about a lack of charging infrastructure, while purchase price and range anxiety are fading and EVs near cost parity with petrol cars over a vehicle's life. Fuel costs were the top worry for combustion drivers at 75%, and electrified vehicles took 49.16% of Australia's new-car market in Q2, including 69,414 battery electric vehicles.VOLVO'S EUROPEAN PLANTS TO BUILD GEELY BRANDS FROM 2028Geely Auto Group's new chief An Conghui says Volvo's European factories are expected to build luxury models for sibling brands such as Zeekr and Lynk & Co from 2028, with the 61-year-old Ghent plant in Belgium a likely candidate following an upgrade deal with the Belgian and Flemish governments. Building in Europe would sidestep the EU's 18.8% tariff on Geely's Chinese-built EVs and support the group's target of 1.5 million annual sales outside China.CHERY TO OPEN UK R&D CENTRE AT MILLBROOK IN LATE 2026Chery will open a research and development centre at UTAC Millbrook in Bedfordshire in late autumn 2026, starting with chassis and driver-assistance tuning for British roads before extending into autonomous driving and AI, alongside a pact with Nissan to explore building its UK cars at Sunderland. Chinese brands took about 16% of UK registrations in the first half, with the Jaecoo 7 the third best-selling vehicle overall at 23,840 units, up 184%.CHERY TO LAUNCH IN GERMANY IN 2027 WITHOUT AN EVChery is establishing its German headquarters at Frankfurt's Gateway Gardens and will launch the Chery brand in the first half of 2027 with four Tiggo SUVs, all hybrids or plug-in hybrids and no battery-electric model, despite EVs being Germany's fastest-growing powertrain. An electric Chery Q, compared with the Renault 5 E-Tech, will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October, as the group targets 30 dealers at launch and 100 by the end of 2027.HYUNDAI AND GENESIS DRIVERS GET IONNA CHARGING AT $0.31/KWHFrom 20 August, Hyundai and Genesis EV owners in the US can stack two 10% discounts on Ionna's $0.39/kWh base rate, cutting it to $0.31/kWh, with one discount expiring 30 September and the other continuing indefinitely. Sessions must be started through the car maker's app or Plug & Charge rather than the on-site card reader, and eligible models include the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, GV60 and Electrified GV70, but not the recently discontinued Ioniq 6.HYUNDAI AND KIA PARTNER WITH KALUZA ON SMART CHARGINGHyundai Motor Group has partnered with Kaluza to build smart charging into Hyundai and Kia EVs from August 2026, integrating with the Kia and myHyundai apps so drivers can set a ready-by time and charge on cheaper, cleaner power, launching in the UK first and then Australia. Vehicle-to-grid services are due from 2027, adding to Kaluza's existing work with Stellantis, Volvo, Volkswagen, Porsche and Mitsubishi Motors.DUTCH INSURER UNIVÉ RESTRICTS COVER FOR 14 CAR BRANDSUnivé, a Dutch insurer with over 1.8 million members, has restricted or excluded 14 car brands based on parts availability, repair information and access to qualified workshops, limiting Dongfeng, Lucid, Firefly, Nio and Zeekr to third-party liability and fully excluding Hongqi, Changan, Voyah, KGM, Leapmotor, VinFast, Jaecoo, MHero and Omoda. The brands took 3.6% of July's Dutch registrations, up from 1.0% a year earlier, and dealers call the warning heavily overblown, with Chery saying it holds more than 30,000 parts at Schiphol-Rijk.

FOLLOW UP: CHECK OUT THE AND FINALLYWe have, thanks to listener Farmer Jamie, both Follow Up and the And Finally all wrapped up into one. Wait till the end to find out more…..GEELY LOSES THEIR BOSSLi Shufu, the founder of Geely, has shocked many with his announcement that he is stepping down from his role as chairman of the automotive branch. An Conghui will take over the reigns of the company. Jerry Gan will become the new CEO, as the current, Gui Shengyue, is moving to vice chairman.

However, they have yet to reveal any details and are “actively reviewing our future Cadillac plans“. To find out more, click this Auotcar article link here.GEELY TO BUILD THEIR CARS IN EUROPEAN VOLVO PLANTSGeely will produce higher-priced cars in Volvo's European plants. This would include models from the brands Zeekr and Lynk & Co. By being higher priced they can offset some of the disadvantages of building cars in Europe, ie. the costs. The plan is for this to start from 2028.

To tap into this market Horse, the joint-venture between Renault, Geely and Saudi Aramco, has built a 2.0 engine as part of a range extender system which will run on liquid methanol. Currently, methanol is not an e-fuel due to how it is produced but work is underway to try and make it so.

To learn what has changed, click this Motoring Research article link here.DEFENDER EV DELAYEDJLR has delayed bringing out an electric version of the Defender, as the redesign of the model has been put back until 2030. Probable reason for this is the need to cut costs following the cyber security breach, tariffs and increased costs across supply chains. Money seems to be prioritised into the ‘baby Defender' which is still expected on track and to be launched by the end of this year or early next.

Of that 2.98 million Teslas are required to add warning stickers and amend software to ensure if power is lost to the car, the doors can easily be opened or occupants escape, in the event of an emergency. China has banned them on new cars from 2027.

Lynk & Co ist eine Marke, die viele noch nicht kennen. Das ist kein Zufall, sondern Teil der Geschichte, die Christian Treitz in dieser Folge erzählt. Er ist seit Januar 2025 Commercial Director Germany bei Lynk & Co, kam von Volvo, wo er zehn Jahre lang tätig war, und hat jetzt die Aufgabe, eine Marke in Deutschland aufzubauen, die es in China längst gibt. Im Gespräch geht es zunächst darum, wo Lynk & Co im Geely-Konzern eigentlich steht. Die Marke ist Schwestermarke von Volvo und Polestar, positioniert sich aber preislich darunter und designmäßig anders. Abenteuerlustig, aufregender in der Linienführung, weniger minimalistisch. Das klingt nach einer klaren Nische, ist in der Kommunikation aber schwieriger als es scheint. Zwischen günstigen Volumenangeboten und etabliertem Premium ist es nicht einfach, gehört zu werden. Ein großer Teil des Gesprächs dreht sich um den Vertriebswandel. Lynk & Co startete als reiner Abo-Anbieter im Direktvertrieb. Das hat eine bestimmte Kundschaft angesprochen, aber den breiten Markt nicht erreicht. Jetzt baut die Marke ein klassisches Händlernetz auf, mit 23 Partnern in Deutschland, 84 Werkstätten und aktuell sieben vollständig nach Markenstandards eingerichteten Showrooms. Der Aufbau ist noch im Gang, aber er verläuft nach einem klaren Plan. Technisch ist das interessanteste Modell derzeit der Lynk & Co 08 Long Range. Er ist ein Plug-in-Hybrid, aber mit 200 Kilometern elektrischer Reichweite und DC-Lademöglichkeit. Das unterscheidet ihn deutlich von klassischen PHEVs, die auf AC-Laden und kurze elektrische Reichweiten ausgelegt sind. Wer keinen Heimlader hat, aber trotzdem möglichst elektrisch unterwegs sein möchte, findet hier ein Modell, das im Alltag tatsächlich funktioniert. Zum Abschluss stellt Christian klar, woran er Erfolg messen will: nicht an Zulassungszahlen oder Marktanteilen, sondern an der Zufriedenheit der Händler. Das ist eine ehrliche Aussage für eine Marke, die gerade erst anfängt, in Deutschland Fuß zu fassen. Und vielleicht genau das richtige Mindset für diesen Moment.

Im aktuellen Gespräch habe ich Stefan Lundin zu Gast, den Chief Communications Officer von Geely Holding Europe. Stefan ist seit elf Jahren im Geely-Kosmos tätig und kennt den Konzern aus so vielen Perspektiven wie kaum jemand sonst - vom Forschungszentrum über den Campus-Aufbau in Göteborg bis hin zur heutigen Arbeit an der Markenstrategie für Europa. Wir starten mit einer Frage, die simpel klingt, aber alles andere als einfach zu beantworten ist: Was ist Geely eigentlich? Chinesisches Unternehmen? Globaler Konzern? Stefan bringt es auf den Punkt - "ein globaler Konzern, der in China geboren wurde" - und erklärt, warum selbst intern je nach Standort eine andere Antwort kommt. In Göteborg sieht man Geely als weit entfernten Investor, in Hangzhou denkt man bei "Geely" an etwas ganz anderes. Dann gehen wir die Marken durch - und zwar strukturiert. Volvo Cars und Polestar als westliche Marken mit langer europäischer Geschichte. Lynk & Co und Zeekr, die in Göteborg erfunden wurden, aber mit chinesischer Führung und Produktion. Geely Auto als ursprünglich chinesische Marke, die jetzt nach Europa drängt. Dabei räumt Stefan auch mit einem verbreiteten Missverständnis auf: Plattform und Architektur sind nicht dasselbe - und das hat praktische Konsequenzen dafür, wie viel die Modelle wirklich teilen. Ein zentrales Thema ist die Frage der Markenkannibalisierung. Stefan spricht offen über eine Phase, in der Wachstum über Klarheit ging. Die Taizhou-Deklaration von Li Shufu markiert hier einen Wendepunkt: Zeekr, Lynk & Co und Geely Auto werden unter der Geely Auto Group zusammengeführt, mit klarer Segmentierung von Volumen bis Premium. Zum Schluss geht es um die Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie des Konzerns - und darum, warum Geely gleichzeitig auf CO2-Neutralität bis 2045 zielt und in Methanol-Hybride investiert. Stefans Antwort ist globaler als erwartet: Wer nur auf Europa und China schaut, sieht nur einen Teil des Bildes.

De autoverkoop is in de eerste helft van het jaar met 4,2 procent gedaald (en een Tesla is de bestverkochte auto). Verder onthult BMW de nieuwe X5 met keuze uit vijf verschillende aandrijflijnen, Volkswagen wordt overgenomen door een Chinese autofabrikant (voorspelt een Duitse topeconoom) en Lynk & Co brengt een stationwagon naar Nederland.

It's EV News Briefly for Thursday 16 April 2026, everything you need to know in less than 5 minutes if you haven't got time for the full show.Patreon supporters fund this show, get the episodes ad free, as soon as they're ready and are part of the EV News Daily Community. You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyDOUG FIELD TO LEAVE FORDDoug Field, who joined Ford in 2021 from Apple and previously helped launch the Tesla Model 3, will depart next month on a voluntary basis, with CEO Jim Farley praising him as an "invaluable partner" in Ford's electrification journey. Ford is simultaneously restructuring, creating a new "Product Creation and Industrialization" organisation under COO Kumar Galhotra that unifies EV, petrol, and hybrid programmes, with the first vehicle on Ford's new Universal EV architecture — a midsize electric pickup — due next year.DACIA READIES SUB-£16,000 ELECTRIC CITY CARDacia has revealed spy shots of a new electric city car priced from under €18,000 (£15,600), designed in just 16 months with help from its China team, featuring a design closer to its SUV range than the related Renault Twingo. Expected to use a 27.5kWh battery with around 160 miles of range, the car will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show in October 2026, with Dacia also planning three further EVs before 2030.MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES VLE RANGE FROM €82,260Mercedes-Benz has launched the VLE range starting at €82,260, built on an 800-volt architecture capable of charging at up to 300 kW, enabling 355 km of WLTP range to be added in just 15 minutes. The range spans from the entry-level VLE 250 with an LFP battery to the VLE 400 4MATIC with a 305 kW all-wheel-drive system, with seating configurations from five to eight seats and pricing up to €113,000 depending on specification.KIA EV2 FIRST EDITION JOINS UK ECGThe Kia EV2 First Edition now qualifies for the UK government's £1,500 Electric Car Grant, bringing its net on-the-road price to £26,995. The EV2 had its world premiere in January 2026, entered series production in March at Kia's Slovakia plant, and sits as the entry point to Kia's dedicated BEV line-up designed and built in Europe.FREE ELECTRICITY ON GERMAN V2G TARIFFMunich-based The Mobility House plans to launch a V2G electricity tariff in Germany, initially paired with the Renault 5, that could allow EV owners to drive for free by charging when renewable energy is cheap and selling power back to the grid at peak times. A 2024 French pilot with Renault showed that connecting a car for an average of 14 hours per day can reduce charging costs for 10,000 km of driving to effectively zero, with the Mercedes-Benz CLA and GLC also set to join the programme later in 2026.BYD GAINS GROUND IN GERMANYBYD is surging in Germany, with Carwow recording a 135% jump in purchase queries for the brand in Q1 2026, driven by rising fuel prices linked to the Middle East conflict and increasing new car costs making Chinese EVs more attractive. Interest centred on BYD's electric SUVs and the Dolphin hatchback, with Chinese-owned MG also seeing increased demand on the platform.BYD'S JINAN HEADS FOR GERMANYBYD's car carrier Jinan, one of the world's largest at 9,200-vehicle capacity, departed Shanghai on 17 March carrying fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles bound for Germany, arriving around 33 days later. The shipment highlights BYD's continued reliance on Chinese exports while European local production ramps up, with trial assembly underway in Szeged, Hungary since January and series production targeted for Q2 2026.BYD PRICES SEAL 6 PHEVS IN AUSTRALIABYD Australia has confirmed pricing for the Seal 6 Sedan and Seal 6 Touring PHEVs, with the Sedan Essential starting at A$34,990 (around £18,380) — undercutting the Toyota Camry Hybrid — and first deliveries expected around June 2026. Both models use BYD's DM 5.0 plug-in hybrid system with Blade battery technology, offering 55 km electric range on the Sedan and around 100 km on the Touring Premium.POLESTAR AUSTRALIA BOSS ATTACKS PHEVSPolestar Australia's managing director Scott Maynard has publicly called PHEVs "the worst of both worlds," arguing they combine electric drivetrain complexity with petrol engine weight, rarely get charged by owners, and can actually be less efficient than a pure petrol car due to the added battery mass. He also claimed PHEVs are "fast becoming irrelevant" as EV range improves — a notable stance given that Polestar's parent company Geely continues to sell PHEVs across Volvo, Lotus, and Lynk & Co.TESLA ADDS SUNWODA AS FIFTH BATTERY SUPPLIERTesla has signed Sunwoda Electric Vehicle Battery as its fifth battery supplier, with Sunwoda set to provide third-generation LFP cells capable of charging at up to 3C — cutting charge time to around 20 minutes, compared to Tesla's current 2C LFP packs. The cells are destined for export vehicles built at Giga Shanghai, with Tesla buying raw prismatic cells from Sunwoda and assembling the modules and packs in-house.HONDA DROPS E:NY1 FROM UK LINE-UPHonda has removed the e:Ny1 from its UK configurator, leaving it with no fully electric models on sale in Britain after the car sold just 7,122 units in three years, hampered by a high price and limited range requiring heavy dealer discounts. This creates a serious ZEV mandate problem for Honda, which must hit 22% BEV sales this year rising to 80% by 2030, with fines of up to £15,000 per non-compliant vehicle — relief is expected from mid-2026 when a retro-inspired compact EV on the new Super-N platform arrives priced under £20,000.

Renault is exploring range-extender EV (EREV) technology for its next-generation electric platform — underpinning models like the Scenic successor — where a combustion engine acts only as a generator for trips up to 1,000km, and Provost is pushing for EREVs to be explicitly permitted for sale in the EU and UK beyond the 2035 all-BEV mandate.NORWAY'S EV SHARE RECOVERS AND HITS 98%Norway registered 7,272 new passenger cars in February 2026, with BEVs accounting for 7,127 of them — a 98.01% market share — as the market began to stabilise after a turbulent end to 2025 driven by expiring VAT exemptions. OFV Director Geir Inge Stokke compared the post-surge normalisation to the period following the 2022 VAT reform, with diesel, petrol PHEVs, hybrids, and pure petrol cars dividing up the remaining 2% between them. NORWAY PASSES ONE MILLION BATTERY-ELECTRIC VEHICLESNorway's battery-electric passenger car fleet has crossed one million, with 951,300 BEV passenger cars and 50,300 BEV light commercial vehicles (LCVs) on the road, representing 32.4% of all passenger cars in the country's 2.94 million-strong fleet. Oslo leads with a 48.9% BEV share in its passenger car fleet and is expected to crack 50% before summer, while rural Finnmark trails at 12.2%, and the Norwegian EV Association's Christina Bu says the LCV transition — currently at just 9.7% — urgently needs to accelerate.UPTAKE SPREADS BEYOND WEALTHIER EARLY ADOPTERSResearch from charging firm char.gy and think tank New Automotive shows that EV adoption in England, once closely tied to wealth as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation, has spread significantly into poorer areas by Q3 2024–2025, with growth rates converging across most neighbourhoods. Used BEV transactions surged 45.7% in 2025 to a record 274,815 units, lifting used BEV market share to 3.5%, and with more than two million plug-in vehicles now on UK roads, the main remaining challenge is delivering reliable, affordable on-street charging in the most disadvantaged communities. QUANTUMSCAPE UNVEILS PRODUCTION LINE IN CALIFORNIAQuantumScape officially inaugurated its Eagle Line — a highly automated solid-state battery pilot production facility in San Jose, California — on February 4, 2026, designed not for mass production by QuantumScape itself but as a scalable blueprint that licensing partners, including Volkswagen (which has invested over $300 million), can replicate at gigawatt-hour scale in their own plants. With roughly $850 million in liquidity but a history of burning over $100 million annually and Volkswagen having scaled back its involvement in 2023 after missed timelines, QuantumScape's strategy pivot toward licensing means the next 18–24 months are critical for securing a major customer agreement.KIA UK SETS EV2 FIRST DRIVE WEEKENDSKia UK will run First Drive Weekend events for the EV2 across nearly all 190 UK dealers from April 16 to June 27, 2026, offering structured 30-minute accompanied drives ahead of first deliveries expected later in the year. The EV2 is a compact SUV just over four metres long built on the 400V E-GMP platform, supporting 10%–80% DC rapid charging in around 30 minutes, with two battery options (42.2kWh and 61.0kWh) and an expected starting price of around £25,000 — potentially undercutting rivals like the Renault 5 and Ford Puma Gen-E after the UK's £3,750 plug-in vehicle grant.BMW TEASES FOUR-MOTOR ELECTRIC M3 AT NÜRBURGRINGBMW M has released camouflaged footage of the electric M3 prototype — codenamed ZA0 — lapping the Nürburgring, featuring a unique four-motor all-wheel-drive setup with a front-motor decoupling mode for rear-wheel-drive capability that doesn't appear on any other Neue Klasse model. The ZA0 uses a bespoke battery pack with more than 100 kWh of net energy capacity not shared with regular i3 variants, with production targeted for March 2027 — well after the standard i3 sedan, which entered pre-series production at BMW's Munich plant in February 2026.ROYAL ENFIELD SETS 2026–2027 EV AND ICE PUSHRoyal Enfield is launching its first electric motorcycles under a new sub-brand called Flying Flea, starting with the minimalist urban C6 in 2026 and followed by the scrambler-inspired S6 in 2027, both sharing a common battery architecture that signals a modular platform approach. The brand is also developing an electrified Himalayan adventure bike, pushing its EV ambitions beyond city commuting into a segment that demands tougher performance credentials around weight, range, and durability. NEXT POLESTAR WILL BE SPORTIER AND ON CHINESE PLATFORMPolestar will replace the Polestar 2 in 2027 with a lower, sportier saloon that will be meaningfully longer than today's 4.6-metre car — potentially rivalling the BMW 3 Series — with UK pricing expected to start just below £50,000. The new model shifts to a Geely Holdings group-wide platform shared with Volvo, Lotus, Lynk&Co, and Zeekr, developed at "China speed" in a 30-month cycle versus the typical five-to-seven-year European timeline, with software-defined vehicle capability and advanced central computing at its core.ITALY LAUNCHES FIRST OFFICIAL ELECTRIC PORSCHE CLUBRegistro Italiano E-motion has become the world's first Porsche club built exclusively around battery-electric vehicles, earning official recognition from Porsche after beginning life as a pandemic-era chat group for Italian Taycan owners in 2021. The club's inaugural tour brought together 131 participants and 73 vehicles — a mix of 42 Taycans and 31 Macan Electrics, including two Taycan Turbo GT Weissach models — on a multi-day Alpine drive from Porsche Experience Center Franciacorta in northern Italy to the Hans Peter Porsche Traumwerk museum near Salzburg, Austria.

In this final episode of The Found Podcast's Ages & Stages Series, I sit down with Nancy Lynk — Senior Vice President of Commercial Banking at US Bank, community leader, mentor, and lifelong learner — for a conversation that spans generations of leadership, resilience, and self-discovery. From growing up on a Century Farm in rural Iowa to navigating the 1980s farm crisis as a young ag lender to leading complex commercial banking portfolios to now guiding others through career and life transitions, Nancy's story is a masterclass in listening deeply, honoring your values, and becoming fearless with your own growth. Together, Nancy and I explore: • Building confidence before the world gives you permission • Lessons from the 1980s farm crisis and the power of human potential • Career pivots that shape long-term leadership • Why reflection, journaling, and contemplative practice matter • Letting go of chronic busyness to invest in yourself • Becoming the mentor you once needed • And the truth Nancy discovered: she was the only thing holding herself back This episode is an invitation to pause, listen inward, and ask: Where am I ready to stop standing in my own way?

On today's Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we dive into the controversy surrounding the Donut Labs battery and ask the big question everyone is debating: Is it truly solid-state, or is it overhyped marketing bordering on a scam? We break down what solid-state really means, how it compares to current lithium-ion tech from CATL, BYD, and Tesla, and why battery terminology matters more than ever.We also unpack Ford's announcement that autonomy will arrive with its affordable universal EV platform in 2027, while examining the very real struggles Ford and the broader industry have faced with EV profitability. GM isn't alone in this pain, reporting a $1.7 billion EV loss last quarter and announcing another $6 billion write-off, while Jeep quietly canceled two plug-in models.At CES, one of the most under-the-radar stories came from Geely, the parent company of Zeekr, Volvo, Polestar, and Lynk & Co. With models like the Zeekr Z, 001, and 7X, plus their “Golden Brick” ultra-fast charging battery, we explore what it would mean if Zeekr begins U.S. production in South Carolina within 24–36 months—and how far behind U.S. automakers may be if current pullbacks continue.

Rebel architect Frank Gehry believed architecture IS art. He strived to evoke emotion in every design. Last Friday, Gehry died at 96 but he never stopped creating. In 2017, IDEAS producer Mary Lynk had a rare opportunity to spend two days with Gehry at his LA studio. Their wide-ranging conversation covers many aspects of his life and career, including a moment at 40 when the sight of an ancient piece of art from 500 BC led him to weep. "I think if you went and looked at it, you would cry too," he told Lynk.*This conversation is a two-part series that delves into Frank Gehry's infusion of humanity into his designs.

Hoy vamos a hablar de un tema que me parece clave para entender no solo el presente sino, sobre todo, el futuro inmediato del automóvil. Vamos a responder a dos preguntas aparentemente sencillas: ¿Qué significa hoy en día "Made in Europe"? ¿Qué significa "Made in China"? Olvídate de todo lo que creíais saber, porque las viejas etiquetas ya no sirven. Y ahora, vamos con los “euro-chinos”. Porque la “paternidad” de los coches, fruto de las alianzas, cada vez es menos clara. Una nueva generación de automóviles está conquistando nuestras carreteras. Son coches nacidos de esas alianzas que hace apenas una 5 o 10 años nos habrían parecido ciencia ficción. La unión “euro-china” tiene sus ventajas, pues por un lado tienes tradición, ingeniería y diseño de Europa con el músculo financiero y la increíble agilidad productiva de China. Y que nadie se confunda: hoy no hablamos de copias, ni de imitaciones baratas. Hablamos de una fusión estratégica y, por lo general, inteligente que está redibujando por completo el mapa mundial del motor. Todavía hoy cuando escuchamos "coche chino", nos viene a la cabeza la imagen de un producto de calidad dudosa. Y esto está cambiando a toda velocidad. El desembarco de las marcas chinas en Europa no es una simple invasión comercial al uso: Va más allá, es me atrevo a decir, más peligrosa. Es un movimiento sutil y brillante, porque los gigantes industriales chinos han entendido que para conquistar el exigente mercado occidental no basta con ofrecer un precio bajo. Se necesita diseño, tecnología punta, una seguridad incuestionable y, todavía hoy, sigue ayudando mucho una marca de confianza, una tradición, una historia, un ADN. ¿Y dónde se encuentra todo eso en abundancia? Exacto, en Europa. Por otro lado, marcas europeas con décadas de historia, algunas de ellas en dificultades e incluso al borde de la desaparición, han encontrado en el capital chino el salvavidas que necesitaban. Pero no ha sido un simple rescate. Ha sido una inyección masiva de recursos con la idea de reinventarse y posicionarse como líderes en la nueva era eléctrica. Para hacerlo más fácil, vamos a dividir este fenómeno en tres grandes categorías: Primero, las joyas de la corona europeas que ahora tienen un pasaporte chino. Segundo, las nuevas marcas chinas que han nacido y crecido con un cerebro y un alma de diseño europeo. Y tercero, los matrimonios de conveniencia más recientes, donde dos gigantes se unen para crear una nueva generación de vehículos. Para mí no todo han sido aciertos… hay de todo. Nosotros te lo contamos y tu juzgas. ¡Vamos allá! Categoría 1: Legado europeo con corazón oriental. Aquí es, quizás, donde encontramos las historias más potentes. Lotus. De la ligereza al Hiper-SUV Eléctrico. MG. El Renacer del icono británico. Volvo y Polestar. Modelo de éxito. Categoría 2: Marcas chinas con cerebro europeo. BYD. El gigante que fichó a las estrellas. Lynk & Co. El “Netflix” del automóvil. Categoría 3: Matrimonios de Conveniencia… Smart. Revolución Germano-China. Stellantis y Leapmotor. Un “balón de oxígeno”. ¿Vendrás más? Volvo, MG, Lotus... la lista crece. Y seguirá creciendo. Como veis, el panorama del automóvil ha cambiado para siempre. Ya no se trata de dónde se ensambla la última tuerca, sino de dónde provienen el capital, la tecnología, el diseño y la estrategia. Esta fusión "euro-china" está acelerando la transición eléctrica y aumentando la competencia, lo cual es bueno para nosotros. Surgen muchas preguntas: ¿Es menos europeo un Volvo por tener un dueño chino que ha potenciado su herencia? ¿Es menos chino un BYD por haber sido diseñado por un alemán? Las etiquetas son cada vez más difusas, los estereotipos desaparecen. Hay dos cosas que importan. Una, el producto final. Y muchos de estos coches "euro-chinos" son productos y muy competitivos. Y dos, ¿Dónde van a parar los beneficios? Este asunto, a futuro, es también muy importante… la preponderancia de las marcas europeas y japonesas, está llamada a desaparecer. Conclusión. El concepto de coche "nacional" se va desvaneciendo. Marcas históricas europeas sobreviven gracias a esta unión, mientras que nuevas marcas chinas conquistan nuestro mercado adoptando un alma europea. Esta fusión está acelerando la electrificación… si es bueno o malo, lo veremos con el tiempo.

In SSPI's new Accelerate Change podcast series, sponsored by SES, we explore how creative collaboration is transforming the pace of innovation across the space and satellite industry. SES is championing a new era - one where partnerships, agile technologies, and bold ideas are breaking old cycles and building a more connected future. Through conversations with leaders in cloud, telecommunications, sustainability, and space infrastructure, we dive into the stories shaping the next frontier of global connectivity. What if your phone could connect to space? Not with a bulky terminal, but with the device already in your hand, wherever you are, no matter the infrastructure on the ground? In this first episode of the series, we hear from Amy Mehlman, Executive Vice President and Chief Global Affairs Officer at Lynk Global. Amy has shaped telecom and space policy for nearly thirty years - from Congress to the FCC, from multinationals to NewSpace startups. Today, she's helping guide a company that's redefining who can connect and how, through a new model of global access. In this episode, Amy and SSPI's Tamara Bond-Williams explore how unmodified mobile phones can connect directly to satellites: no towers or special hardware needed. Amy Mehlman is EVP and Chief Global Affairs officer at Lynk Global. She is a senior telecommunication professional with nearly three decades hands-on experience helping innovative companies secure favorable public policies, government contracts and secure market access by working with government representatives, industry partners, and multilateral NGOs. Most recently, Mehlman worked as VP for Global Affairs and Stakeholder Relations at E-Space Inc. where she led global policy efforts shaping the rapidly growing non-geostationary satellite market, successfully-pursued government contracts, obtained market access, spearheaded partnerships, and oversaw legislative efforts. Prior to that Amy served as VP of U.S. Government Affairs and Global Policy at Viasat, leading their domestic and international policy efforts on satellite licensing, space safety and equitable access to spectrum. Earlier in her career, Amy was Founder and President of a successful boutique telecommunications public policy firm (Mehlman Capitol Strategies) representing over 30 companies before the U.S. Congress, FCC & Executive Branch. Amy began her career at the prestigious Washington, D.C. law firm Wiley, Rein & Fielding where she represented leading wireless, satellite, telecom equipment and broadcast companies before the US Congress and Administration.

"Time to market increased by 65%. Reseller success metrics up 90%. That's the power of structured onboarding," says Katie Merrill, CEO & Founder of B-Lynk.

“We work in a very customized way on these opportunities to, our trainers will meet with our service provider, understand the end customer, and then there will be a meeting with the end customer stakeholders and our service provider customer to really come up with a customized training agenda that meets the needs of their business,” says Katie Merrill Founder and CEO of B-Lynk. In this podcast, we learn how training is very critical to the entire SaaS industry. The success of many technologies depends on the non-technology workers being able to comfortably use what's in front of them. B-Lynk offers several approaches to the learning and training challenge: videos, guides, digital books, and content that fits with local language needs. Customization “A real bread and butter of our offer has been, end customer end user training,” Katie adds. Different customers need different things. “We work in a very customized way on those opportunities. Our trainers will meet with our service provider, understand the end customer, and then there will be a meeting with the end customer stakeholders and our service provider customer to really come up with a customized training agenda that meets the needs of their business. They know exactly what their agents are going to learn, exactly what their supervisors are going to learn. And then we deliver that training as a service. And if needed and necessary, we can create video content to follow along for future training beyond that initial onboarding.” Migration as an Opportunity “I look at migration as really for service providers as an incredible opportunity to reconnect with their customers during this migration process,” says Katie. We learn how partnering with B-Lynk can open new opportunities. Katie also reminds us that “a bad migration is a bad migration.” Not thinking through the training portion can lead to a failed migration and to churn. A service provider can end up on either end of a spectrum of great to terrible experiences. Visit https://b-lynk.com/
