Frank Leitgeb von der LV 1871 ist Pate für die Kategorie „Neue Wege. Neue Medien.“ beim OMGV Makler Award 2023. In diesem Special verrät er, was ihn bei den Nominierten in seiner Kategorie auf, warum man sich beim Onlinemarketing an Kamiar Bar Bar und Maurice Impraim von Teaching Finance, Matthias Schmidt von Vers-Kompass und Stefan Gierschke von Königswege ein Beispiel nehmen kann, wie man einen digitalen Fußabdruck kreiert, der auf die eigene Zielgruppe passt oder warum Social Media für ihn der Ort ist, wo man wertschätzend kommunizieren und nicht seinen Unmut in die Welt tragen sollte.“ Am 24. Oktober wird zum 6. Mal der OMGV Makler Award im Rahmen der DKM verliehen. Am 5. September wurden die diesjährigen Nominierten veröffentlicht und bis zum 8. Oktober, kann jeder aus der Versicherungsbranche mit über die Preisträger abstimmen und dabei auch noch etwas gewinnen. In diesem Special zum OMGV Makler Award 2023 sprach ich mit Frank Leitgeb von der LV 1871. Er ist dieses Jahr Pate für die Kategorie „Neue Wege. Neue Medien.“, in der die folgenden Makler und Maklerinnen nominiert sind: ASSPICK Versicherungsmakler Yannic Beyer Hartmann Assekuranzmakler Steffen Moser muffin PROGRESS Finanzplaner STC Versicherungsmakler Wofür sie nominiert sind, erfahren Sie in diesem Artikel und natürlich sprach ich mit Doreen über ihre Kategorie und die Nominierten. Aber nicht nur, sondern auch über die folgenden Themen: Warum ist Onlinemarketing wichtig? Was ist im Onlinemarketing in den letzten 20 Jahren geschehen? Was ist ihm im Zusammenhang mit dem Thema „Onlinemarketing“ in der Branche der letzten Jahre aufgefallen? Welche Entwicklung überraschten oder erfreuten ihn am meisten und warum? Wer sind 3 Best-Practice-Makler, die es richtig gut machen und was ist an ihnen so gut? Was ihn bei den Nominierten zum OMGV Award allgemein und in seiner Kategorie besonders überrascht hat? Warum passt die Kategorie "Neue Wege. Neue Medien.“ zu Frank und warum zur LV 1871 Was ist, wenn man irgendwann nicht mehr nur um weltweitem, sondern weltallweiten Versicherungsschutz geht? Wie muss sich die Branche verändern? Wie ist deine Social Media Routine? Wie ist Franks tägliche Social Media Routine? Was ist ihm bei der Nutzung wichtig? Was sind seine beiden wichtigsten Social-Media-Plattformen? Welchen Social-Media-Hack kann nur jedem zum Schluss empfehlen? #SpoilerAlarm: Als die Makler, die im Onlinemarketing Leuchttürme sind, an denen man sich orientieren kann, nennt Frank: Kamiar Bar Bar und Maurice Impraim von Teaching Finance, Matthias Schmidt von Vers-Kompass und Stefan Gierschke von Königswege. Die alle vollkommen andere neue Wege gegangen sind bzw. immer noch gehen, aber alle in dem, was sie machen herausragend sind. Warum und wobei man sich an ihnen orientieren kann, erklärt Frank am besten selbst. Außerdem spricht Frank darüber, dass die „Die Chance, dass dich jemand heute online findet, ist viel größer, als dass er an deinem Geschäft vorbeiläuft.“ Damit das allerdings auch tatsächlich passiert, erklärt er auch: „Du musst versuchen einen digitalen Fußabdruck zu kreieren, der möglichst gut auf deine Zielgruppe passt.“ Darüber und über viele andere Dinge sprechen wir in diesem OMGV Award-Special im Versicherungsfunk.

UK CAR INDUSTRY CALLS ON NEXT GOVERNMENT FOR HELPThe SMMT has moved on to calling to the next Government, whoever that is, to help secure the future of the car industry in the UK. They have laid out five pledges it hopes any of our politicians will pick up and run with. Click here, on this link, to learn more of this desperate move in the face of political apathy from all corners. SUPERMARKETS RIP MOTORISTS OFF Supermarkets have been found to have ripped the British motorists off, due to weak competition allowing them to charge 6p per litre more than they should have. One of the recommendations, from the Competitions and Markets Authority, is to force supermarkets to publish live prices in order that we consumers can compare and find the cheapest. There is no guarantee this will be implemented. Click this BBC News article here, to learn more. AUDI SACK CEO MARKUS DUESMANNThe CEO of Audi, Markus Duesmann, has been sacked following very public criticism from VW Group CEO Oliver Blume. Duesmann was brought in by Diess, from BMW. He will be replaced by Gernot Doellner, the current VW Group strategy boss. Whilst Audi's performance has not got close to the hopes from VW, there is context that shows it is not all his fault. Click this Twitter thread from Matthias Schmidt for context of what he inherited. To read more about the overall story, click this Forbes article link written by Michael Taylor. HYUNDAI AND TOYOTA EV ADS BANNEDAfter a brief spell of being in agreement with the Advertising Standards Authority over dealer price claims, we return to normal service. Toyota and Hyundai adverts for their EVs have been banned because they do not warn people there is only a small number of the very fastest charge points available. On top of that, the complaints stated to achieve the fastest charge there were a number of variables that could thwart the process. You can read more by clicking this article link from The Times. SURVEY SUGGESTS DEMAND FOR EVS BELOW REQUIREMENTS A survey by Auto Retail Bulletin has revealed that current demand for EVs falls below next year's imposed requirement by the Government of 22%. 60% of respondents state demand is below 15% and a third say it is below 10%. That would mean the car industry paying the UK Government a lot of money. However, most likely there will be a throttling of non compliant model availability, as we have seen previously.

Reports that the latest iPhone won't be exclusively fabricated in China but also in India may be a sign that the gap between India and China as tech manufacturing powers may be closing. As Beijing struggles with power shortages, Covid-related shutdowns and geopolitical tensions, Apple seem to be looking for alternatives. We talk to Mike Wuerthele, managing editor for Apple Insider. Around 200 tea gardens in Bangladesh have seen the return of workers after two weeks of strikes. Tens of thousands of tea pickers had walked out over their pay, but now the government has signed a new agreement with union leaders pledging to improve conditions. Philip Gain, a human rights activist based in Dhaka, tells us more. Thousands of farmers in India have descended on the capital once again to protest against the government. They claim promises made last year, when they called off a year-long protest, haven't been fulfilled. We ask Arunoday Mukharji, the BBC's India Business Correspondent, if this could lead to the same disruption seen in 2021. Many residents in the Faroe Islands rely on subsidised helicopter trips between islands, and tunnels under the sea that allow traffic to flow. A new one is under construction,n and it's of the most ambitious tunnelling projects in the world. The BBC's Tim Ecott took a rare journey deep under the sea with Teitur Samuelsen, CEO of developer EST. Ford will cut 3,000 jobs mostly in the United States, and India. The move is deemed to be part of the firm's electrification strategy. Matthias Schmidt, an European Automotive Market Analyst in Germany, tells us why we might be hearing similar announces from more carmakers. Campaigners in Germany are asking for speed limits to be imposed on German motorways, which are famous for not having any. Activists say it will reduce emissions and fuel use at a time when the country needs to reduce its reliance on Russian gas. The BBC's Jenny Hill reports. And we discuss the latest developments in the markets with senior market analyst Fiona Cincotta.

Unser heutiger Gast hat seine Dissertation zum Thema „Islamische und migrantische Vereine in der Extremismusprävention. Erfahrungen, Herausforderungen und Perspektiven“ verfasst. Wir nutzen daher die Möglichkeit mit ihm die Diskussion über die Einbindung muslimischer Vereine und Verbände in der Präventionsarbeit fortzusetzen, die wir in Folge 4 „Zwischen Anerkennung und Stigmatisierung“ mit Matthias Schmidt begonnen haben. Heute fokussieren wir uns auf Fragen des Strukturaufbaus, reden über asymmetrische Partnerschaftsbeziehungen und über die Vielfalt der pädagogischen Zugänge, wenn es um das Thema Religion geht. Dr. Jens Ostwaldt unterhält sich mit uns auch über Philosophisches – über die Bedürfnisse, die Gläubige in der gegenwärtigen Gesellschaft verspüren und wir sprechen über seinen Blickwinkel als Wissenschaftler, der die Praxis „von innen“ kennt.

Welcome to a new Patreon Executive Producer DAVID DYSART FRANCE: MORE THAN 315,000 PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CARS WERE SOLD IN 2021 - The French car market closed the year 2021 with over 1.65 million new registrations - the plug-in electric segment expanded significantly to over 315,000 units (up 62% year-over-year). - Passenger BEVs: 162,106 - up 46% Passenger PHEVs: 141,234 - up 88% - more than 780,000 plug-ins were sold in France since 2010, including almost 500,000 all-electric cars. - The three top all-electric passenger models are:  Tesla Model 3: 24,911 Renault ZOE: 23,573 (plus 2,127 commercial versions) Peugeot e-208: 17,859 (plus 1,090 commercial versions) Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/561101/france-plugin-car-sales-2021 BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR SALES FINALLY OVERTOOK THE DIESEL INSTITUTION IN EUROPE - Battery-electric car sales overtook diesel for the first time in Europe, the Financial Times reported Sunday. - This is an important milestone, as diesel has been the default choice for European car buyers for decades. Registrations of new "electrified" vehicles—including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery-electric cars combined—pushed past diesel in September 2020, but this is the first time battery-electric models have outsold diesels on their own, the report said. - In December 2021, more than one fifth of new cars sold across 18 European markets were all-electric, while diesel cars (including diesel hybrids) accounted for less than 19% of sales, according to the report, which is based on data compiled by the Financial Times and independent auto analyst Matthias Schmidt. - 176,000 battery-electric vehicles were sold in Western Europe that month, compared to around 160,000 diesel cars, the report said. That total is also an all-time record for European EV sales, and is more than 6% higher than the comparable figure for December 2020, according to the report.

The Niro will be offered with a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrain, like its predecessor. It features a new exterior design that follows the styling of the new Sportage, while the interior is similar to that of the EV6. - the new Niro has a larger body that provides more interior space and storage capacity. It's 65mm longer, 20mm wider and 10mm taller than the outgoing Niro. The wheelbase has also grown by 20mm. - So far, we only have information on the Hybrid.

It's the first time that NIO pushed an over-the-air firmware update (FOTA) to its electric vehicles outside of China. - The available English language settings in NIO's vehicle's will help support its expansion outside of China, as the company looks to take on Tesla and its domestic rival XPeng in the global EV market. - Aspen 3.0.5 NO has new features to improve user experience in cold weather, including a manual battery warmup feature and extending the duration of cabin preconditioning system, according to NIO. It also includes other user experience (UX) enhancements, such as a power assistant that helps drivers find nearby EV charging facilities - Following NIO's expansion to Norway, NIO said it plans to launch models in more European and North American countries. Each region will come with software and update services tailored to the local language and market, according to NIO.

Together with the third MEB plant in Anhui, the annual production capacity will increase to up to 900,000 units in 2023, as VW China now reveals. - Until now, the production capacity of the plant in Anhui was not known. As the existing plants in Anting (by SAIC-VW) and Foshan (FAW-VW) are known to be designed for 300,000 units per year each, the third plant in Anhui will also come up to this production capacity. - Production capacity for MEB cars in China is already well above demand. Last year VW was able to deliver 70,625 ID. models in China. However, it must also be mentioned that VW only started deliveries of the ID.4 and later the ID.6 during the course of the year – towards the end of the year, deliveries increased after a slow start.

Welcome to new PATREON PRODUCER JEREMY WARNER RECORD SHARE FOR WESTERN EUROPEAN EV REGISTRATIONS IN SEPTEMBER "The monthly share of new zero-emission BEV (Battery electric vehicle) passenger car registrations as a percentage of the total new car market achieved a new high in September. 15.3 per cent of all the new  passenger cars entering West European roads during the closing month of the third quarter, were pure electric passenger cars, according to exclusive data published each month in Schmidt Automotive Research's in-depth monthly European Electric Car Data Trend Report." Matthias Schmidt writes: "Just under 136 thousand new pure electric cars entered the 18 market West European region monitored by the report each month. Despite volumes falling 30 thousand short of the all-time monthly volume high, recorded in December 2020, as passenger car manufacturers made a last-ditch attempt to meet newly phased-in CO2 fleet emission targets, achieving a 15.1 BEV per cent mix of the total market, the September BEV penetration of the 18-market region saw levels surpass that. A number of reasons impacted the new record in September, namely; the boost from Tesla's end of quarter volumes, achieving a monthly record of 34,000 units, or every fourth BEV – boosted by both the Model Y introduction and shipments from China –  as well as the semiconductor situation deflating the total passenger car market." https://www.schmidtmatthias.de/post/western-european-zero-emission-passenger-car-registrations-achieved-a-new-record-share-in-september U.S. SALES UPDATES: ID.4, VOLVO, PORSCHE TAYCAN, MUSTANG MACH-E All from InsideEVs:  "Volkswagen ID.4, sales improved slightly from 5,756 in Q2 to 6,049 in Q3, which probably will further increase over the next quarters. The ID.4 share out of the total Volkswagen sales was 7.6%. The company notes that its data indicates that more than two-thirds of ID.4 customers are switching from other brands." "The Volvo Recharge plug-in sub-brand accounted for about 18.2% of the total volume, which is about 1,700 units. In California, the share increased to a record high 52% so the company sells more plug-ins than non-plug-ins there. We estimate that the total plug-in volume in Q3 was 5,960. Volvo's Recharge lineup is currently comprised of a total of seven models, two all-electric (the C40 is coming soon) and five plug-in hybrids. By 2030, all Volvo models wiil become be completely electric. In 2022, the company plans to launch the electric successor of the XC90, based on the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA2), that will be produced in Ridgeville, South Carolina, together with the Polestar 3, also based on the SPA2." "The Taycan/Taycan Cross Turismo (all versions) sales increased marginally, by 0.2% year-over-year to 1,861, far behind the outstanding Q2 result, but enough to remain the third best selling Porsche model. The all-electric Porsche stands for nearly 12.2% of all Porsche sales during the period. Porsche's BEV lineup currently consists a total of nine Taycan/Taycan Cross Turismo versions:" "In the case of the Ford Mustang Mach-E, in September sales amounted to 1,578 (1.1% of Ford's total result) - below the monthly average so far this year. The total volume in the Q3 was 5,880. "Mustang Mach-E retail sales expanded 9.2 percent in September. With 18,855 Mach-Es sold through September, Mach-E ranks second in full electric SUV sales behind Tesla's Model Y. Over-the-air modem activation rates for Mach-E are the highest in Ford's portfolio at 97 percent." The gross stock of Mach-E is at about 5,000 in the U.S. (at dealerships and in transport, we assume). That's two times more than the 2,600 we noted in August." https://insideevs.com/news/538003/us-volkswagen-id4-sales-2021q3 https://insideevs.com/news/538106/us-volvo-recharge-sales-september2021 https://insideevs.com/news/538000/us-porsche-taycan-sales-2021q3 https://insideevs.com/news/538343/us-ford-mache-sales-2021q3/ 800 VOLT CHARGING GOING MAINSTREAM "Porsche designed the Taycan to also be compatible with the existing 400 V DC fast-charging infrastructure. The car comes with 50 kW capability as standard, with a 150 kW unit as an option GM, with its wide ranging product lineup is designing the Ultium modular electric powertrain so that it can underpin both 400 V and 800 V applications. So while most vehicles will initially have 400 V battery packs capable of fast-charging up to 200 kW, the larger truck platform on which the GMC Hummer is built, will support 800 V with a 350 kW fast-charging capability." says Electronics 360: "Another mainstream, high-volume brand already planning to implement the 800 V powernet is Hyundai. The recently announced Ioniq 5, based on the new and dedicated E-GMP EV platform, will have an 800 V architecture that can be charged at 232 kW. Confirming the growing interest in 800 V charging, power electronics suppliers Delphi Technologies and Hitachi have both developed 800 V inverters. Delphi claiming that it will be supplying its 800 V “Viper” inverter to three out of the top four global premium automakers by 2024." https://electronics360.globalspec.com/article/17190/will-800-v-charging-become-the-ev-industry-norm CITROEN SAYS IT HAS ALREADY TAKEN MORE THAN 1,000 ORDERS FOR AMI "With the fuel delivery crisis still rumbling on and petrol prices expected to rise by around 5p-a-litre in the coming days, more drivers are reportedly considering buying an electric vehicle. The latest EV due to hit the market next year is Citroen's diminutive Ami, which is as long as a standard UK parking space is wide and has a range of just 46 miles." according to thisismoney: "The French maker, having confirmed that it will sell the tiny battery model in Britain from 2022 just a fortnight ago, says it has already taken over 1,000 reservations online. A total of 1,130 pre-orders have been placed on the car company's UK website, which requires a £250 deposit that is refunded if the driver changes their mind. The Ami uses a 5.5kWh battery that recharges in three hours from a conventional domestic socket.  This provides a top speed of just 28mph and a claimed range of 46 miles." https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-10056649/Citroen-says-taken-1-000-orders-6-000-Ami-EV.html?utm_source=pocket_mylist VOLVO CARS IS COMPLETING PLANS FOR IPO IN STOCKHOLM "Volvo Cars, the Swedish auto maker owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. of China, is completing plans for an initial public offering and is set to announce details of the listing as early as Monday, in a deal that could value the car maker at as much as $25 billion, according to people familiar with the matter." says WSJ.com: "A listing, if it goes ahead, would represent one of the car industry's most dramatic turnarounds. Ford Motor Co. , weakened by the global financial crisis, sold the Swedish company to Geely for $1.8 billion in 2010." https://www.wsj.com/articles/volvo-cars-is-finalizing-plans-for-ipo-in-stockholm-11633283394 ELECTRIC CAR SALES COULD 'REDUCE ENERGY BILLS' FOR ALL UK CONSUMERS "ELECTRIC car sales could reduce energy bills for everyone across the UK, according to a new report from Ofgem.  They have predicted a high number of electric cars could reduce costs for all bill payers, including non EV owners. They said EV's will allow the electricity network to work better which would then reduce average costs." writes the Express: "Ofgem said the market was currently trying to introduce products and services tailored specifically towards electric car owners. These EV tariffs offer cheaper rates overnight to encourage owners to charge their car at off-peak periods. However, they said energy supply was increasingly being bundled in with electric car services." “We believe that high numbers of EVs on the system could reduce total costs of energy for everyone, even non EV owners, particularly if [it] is the norm that EVs charge in ‘off-peak' hours, using smart charging. EV owners are expected to benefit from cheaper running costs of EVs compared to petrol or diesel vehicles, but non-EV owners will also benefit. This is because EVs will enable a better utilisation of the electricity network and generation assets, thereby reducing unit costs.” https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1500116/electric-cars-sales-energy-bills-savings-ofgem-report-uk GERMANY'S BMVI OPENS TENDER PROCESS FOR NATIONAL FAST-CHARGING NETWORK "Germany's Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) opened the tender process for the national fast-charging network: Deutschlandnetz. Companies and company consortia can compete for the bid to set up and operate around 900 fast-charging locations throughout Germany. (Earlier post.)" says Green Car Congres: "The Germany network is intended to ensure the basic supply with fast charging infrastructure in medium and long-haul traffic with around 8,000 additional fast charging points. It complements the already existing large fast-charging locations and thus ensures a nationwide and needs-based fast-charging infrastructure throughout Germany. In a second tender, the construction and operation of around 200 fast-charging locations at unmanaged rest areas on the federal motorways will be tendered. The tendering of the nationwide motorway lots will be carried out in autumn by the Autobahn GmbH." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/10/20211004-bmvi.html HUMMER EV DRIVEN BY TOM MOLOUGHNEY https://insideevs.com/reviews/538170/hummer-ev-first-drive-review/ 80 ACTIVISTS BLOCK SHELL'S PORT TO PROTEST AGAINST ‘GREENWASHING' ADVERTS https://www.euronews.com/green/2021/10/04/climate-ngos-launch-campaign-to-ban-fossil-fuel-adverts-in-the-eu NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Returns on Sunday 10th October!

Bugatti, whose Chiron model starts at close to $3 million, will become part of a joint venture between Volkswagen's Porsche unit and Rimac, a young Croatian company that has made a name for itself doing design and engineering projects for large carmakers.   - The deal undoes a major legacy of Ferdinand Piëch, who dominated Volkswagen for two decades and built the company into a global empire. Volkswagen's purchase of Bugatti out of bankruptcy in 1998, long before it owned Porsche, was widely seen as an indulgence by Mr. Piëch with questionable business logic   - Oliver Blume, the chief executive of Porsche, acknowledged Monday that the deal removes a distraction for Volkswagen and allows the company to focus on more important tasks.    Original Source : https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/05/business/volkswagen-bugatti.html   VW OFFLOADS BUGATTI TO RIMAC TO FORM NEW EV COMPANY BUGATTI-RIMAC   - The company recently unveiled the Nevera, a hypercar powered by a 120kWh battery pack and four motors to achieve a staggering 1.4MW of power, which is about 1,914 horsepower. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 1.85 seconds and has a top speed of 258 mph. The Nevera is expected to be the fastest sports car, a spot previously held by the Bugatti Chiron's.   - Rimac's meteoric rise from bootstrapping in a garage in 2009 to building supercars with one of the most desirable and well-known car brands demonstrates how electric vehicles are beginning to take over the luxury and sports car market. It's not just about doing what's right for the environment – it's about pioneering speed in the future of automobiles. Along with this announcement, Rimac said it would separate the development, production and supply of battery systems, drivetrains and other EV components into a new entity owned by Rimac Group called Rimac Technology, which will work independently with other global car manufacturers.   - Mate Rimac will continue to hold his 37% share in Rimac Group, with Hyundai Motor Group holding the same 12% and other investors at 27%, according to a statement from the company. Porsche recently upped its stake in Rimac from 15% to 24%, but its total ownership doesn't give It a controlling interest in the new EV company, the companies told FT.   Original Source : https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/05/vw-offloads-bugatti-to-rimac-to-form-new-ev-company-bugatti-rimac/   TESLA MODEL 3 IS OUTRIGHT BESTSELLING VEHICLE IN UK   - The UK saw plugin electric vehicles take 17.2% share of the auto market in June 2021, up from 9.5% in June 2020. The Tesla Model 3 was the UK's overall best selling vehicle (of any powertrain) in the month, with 5,468 units sold. Overall auto market volume stood at 186,000 units in June, down around 16% from long term seasonal norms.   - 10.7% full battery electrics (BEVs) and 6.5% plugin hybrids (PHEVs), which is a swing towards BEVs from recent weightings   - Full battery electric vehicles outsold old-school (non electric assist) diesel vehicles for the first time ever, selling 32% more volume. Old school diesels took just 8.1% of the market, their lowest score in decades.   - combustion vehicles (petrol plus diesel) were also at a new record low of 54.5% share, from 76.3% a year ago. They are on track to drop below 50% within the next couple of months.   Original Source : https://cleantechnica.com/2021/07/05/tesla-model-3-is-outright-bestselling-vehicle-in-uk-plugin-evs-take-17-2-share/   VW DROPS I.D. PRICES IN THE UK   - In the UK, Volkswagen`s ID.3 and ID.4 models are now offered with configurable trim levels and a range of option packs across all derivatives. Under the new pricing, two more variants have become eligible for the Government's Plug-in Vehicle Grant.  The new pricing strategy significantly affects the ID.3. Under the new pricing, two more variants have become eligible for the Government's Plug-in Vehicle Grant, which brings the total to six. The ID.3 Family Pro and Family Pro Performance are now both priced just under the £35,000 threshold for the £2,500 grant. These models, now priced at £33,640 and £34,960 respectively. Of course now with their new grant eligibility, these prices fall to £31,140 and £32,460 OTR.   - the highly-equipped Max and range-topping Tour have been reduced by £3,800. The Tour boasts a 77 kWh battery and 340-mile range (WLTP, combined) and is priced from £38,800.   Original Source : https://www.electrive.com/2021/07/05/vw-drops-i-d-prices-in-the-uk/   ID.3 AND ID.4 RECEIVE WIDE RANGE OF CHANGES AS MODEL YEAR 2022 VEHICLES OPEN FORORDER   - This new structure considerably increases the flexibility of the ID.3 and ID.4 in the customer's ordering process. For example, previously it was not possible to configure an Augmented Reality Head-up display on any ID.3 model other than the Max and Tour. Now, a customer can choose any trim level and add the Infotainment Package Plus to receive the AR HUD, alongside the additional speakers that are part of the pack. Just as before, the different trim levels will still feature pre-determined packs as standard equipment, but now customers can choose to add additional packs to cater to their individual needs.   Original Source : https://www.vwpress.co.uk/en-gb/releases/4561   THE STELLANTIS EV DAY IS COMING. HERE'S WHAT TO KNOW   - Stellantis, the world's fourth-largest car maker, will host its EV Day on Thursday and unveil more details around its electrification strategy. The company, formed earlier this year through the merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot, already has an electric-vehicle strategy, which it set out in April.   - The group has grown market share in Europe so far in 2021, accounting for 16.8% of new BEV registrations in the region from January to May, according to automotive analyst Matthias Schmidt. That puts it second behind Volkswagen — 25.7% — and ahead of the Renault-Nissan alliance with 12.3% and Tesla with 11.5%.   - BoA analysts expected Stellantis to deliver a “bullish message” on Thursday to make it clear to investors the company wouldn't be left behind in the electric revolution. “In our view, the only thing that Stellantis has to do is to put the various puzzle pieces together and explain some more details on essential strategy items (i.e. on battery chemistries, cell technology, cost assumptions for the EV line up, differences in planning between North America and Europe, capex requirements, etc.),” they said.   - Stellantis is also reportedly set to announce plans to produce electric vans at its Ellesmere Port factory in northwest England.   Original Source : https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-stellantis-ev-day-is-coming-heres-what-to-know-11625491119   VOLVO, DAIMLER, TRATON TO DEVELOP CHARGING NETWORK FOR HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS IN EUROPE   - Volvo Group, Daimler Truck and Traton Group have signed a  non-binding agreement to install and operate a high-performance public charging  network for battery electric heavy-duty long-haul trucks and coaches in Europe. With plans to start operations in 2022, the partners intend  to invest together 500 million Euros to install and operate at least 1,700  high-performance green energy charging points close to highways as well as at  logistic and destination points, within five years from the establishment of  the joint venture (JV).   - The future JV is planned to operate under its own corporate identity  based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.   - Battery electric vehicle fleet operators will be  able to leverage both fast charging tailored to the 45-minute mandatory rest  period in Europe focusing on long-distance transport—the highest priority of  the future JV—and also charge overnight.   Original Source : https://www.fleetowner.com/emissions-efficiency/electric-vehicles/press-release/21169044/volvo-daimler-and-traton-to-develop-charging-network-for-heavyduty-trucks-in-europe   TESLA MODEL Y STANDARD RANGE FOR HONG KONG MAY CONFIRM LFP USE RUMORS   - CNEVPost published in June that the deal Tesla made with CATL to extend their LFP contract up to 2025 would include sourcing these cells to the Model Y. Deliveries for the electric crossover with these batteries would start in July.   When we check Tesla's website about the Model Y Standard Range for Hong Kong, the company says that deliveries will start in September. The estimated range for the vehicle is higher than that for the Model 3 Standard Range Plus, which would achieve 448 km (278 mi).   - That's a 10% increase compared to the Model 3 SR+ value.   - Although the Model Y Standard Range for Hong Kong could confirm the LFP rumors, the price and range differences suggest that Model Y Standard Range may have 2170 cells. However, if that is the case, Tesla could also offer this derivative in the US.   - Another feasible explanation for the disparities is that Tesla developed a larger LFP battery pack for the Model Y.   Original Source : https://www.autoevolution.com/news/tesla-model-y-standard-range-for-hong-kong-may-confirm-lfp-use-rumors-164650.html   NEW CITROËN Ë-SPACETOURER GETS £14K DROP Original Source : https://evobsession.com/new-citroen-e-spacetourer-range-pricing-specs-in-the-uk-entry-level-model-attracting-2500-plug-in-car-grant-picg/   WILL THE AUDI E-TRON GT FACE THE SAME RECALL ISSUES AS THE PORSCHE TAYCAN?

Auch wenn sich das Image langsam zu wandeln scheint: Die Branche hat nach wie vor ein Nachwuchsproblem und tut sich schwer, junge Menschen für eine Karriere in der Versicherungswirtschaft zu begeistern. Insbesondere in Beratung und Vertrieb ist das Angebot nach wie vor deutlich höher als die Zahl der aktiven Bewerber. Und dennoch schaffen es einige Unternehmen der Branche ausnehmend gut, die Talente von morgen zu finden und zu begeistern. Mit welchen Methoden und Maßnahmen das gelingen kann, wie die Kommunikation aber auch der Arbeitsplatz darauf ausgerichtet werden kann und was das große Thema "Image der Branche" damit zu tun hat, darum ging es im digitalen Branchentalk am Mittwoch, 09. Juni 2021. Auf dem virtuellen Podium zu diesem spannenden Zukunftsthema waren: Ulrich Neumann, Leiter der Partnervertriebe bei der Gothaer, und Matthias Schmidt von VersKompass. Durch den Abend führten Dr. Rainer Demski (NewFinance) und Patrick Hamacher (Hamacher Versicherungsmakler).

No need, as Plaid is just so good. "Previously, Tesla and Musk promised fans the tri-motor, Plaid Plus version of their new Model S would give drivers 1,100 horsepower, 520 miles of range on a fully charged battery, and acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in less than two seconds." says CNBC: "In March, Tesla raised the price of the Model S Plaid Plus by $10,000 bringing it to about $150,000. The option to order the Model S Plaid Plus variant was removed from Tesla's website around the last week of May, according to a CNET report. The remaining high-end version of the Model S Plaid will cost around $119,900 and feature a 390-mile range battery, with 1,020 horsepower and acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour in two seconds, among other features." The unveiling is 10th June. Will there be a surprise? Some people speculate because the Roadster 2 has been extended to 11th June at the Petersen Museum, that's the surprise.  "It's available to order in the UK now for £110,980, but while Musk has reiterated that first deliveries will take place later this month, British buyers will have to wait until the end of 2022 for their cars according to Tesla's UK configurator." said Autoexpress: "The Plaid+ variant would have lined up as a long-range version of the car, with the same performance specs, but with up to 520 miles of running on a full battery. It was priced at £139,980. Like most car manufacturers, Tesla is being affected by the global semiconductor shortage. In an earnings call on 26 April, Musk called the shortage “a huge problem.” " Do we need Plaid+? Plaid will make the most of V3 Superchargers at 250kW. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/07/elon-musk-says-tesla-officially-canceled-the-model-s-plaid-plus.html https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/tesla/model-s/354163/new-520-mile-tesla-model-s-plaid-cancelled-elon-musk TESLA MODEL 3 BECOMES MOST POPULAR BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR ON UK ROADS"The Tesla Model 3 has become the most popular battery electric car on British roads after a surge in sales, as the race to dominate the car industry's new era heats up." according to The Guardian: "The number of Model 3s on British roads overtook Nissan's Leaf models during the first four months of 2021, according to calculations by Matthias Schmidt, an independent electric car analyst. There are now 39,900 Model 3s in the UK, compared with 38,900 Leafs, many of which are built at Nissan's factory in Sunderland." https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jun/06/tesla-model-3-becomes-most-popular-battery-electric-car-on-uk-roads ŠKODA ENYAQ SPORTLINE IVŠKODA's athletic trim variant is now also available for the brand's new, all-electric SUVSporty look with a wealth of black design features and lowered sports chassisThree power variants and rear- or all-wheel drive The most powerful variant is the ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV 80x. Thanks to a second electric motor on the front axle, it transmits power to the road via all-wheel drive. The two motors have a combined output of 195 kW.  The 80x is mainly driven by a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PSM) on the rear axle, which delivers an output of 150 kW.  An asynchronous motor, designed with a pulse inverter and a single-speed gearbox in a coaxial arrangement, is used at the front. This has an output of 80 kW.  Asynchronous motors are characterised by a short-term overload capability and low drag losses. They are thus perfect for short-term boosts. The ENYAQ SPORTLINE iV 80x is powered by a 82 kWh battery and can cover more than 500 km*** in the WLTP cycle. Its top speed is 160 km/h. https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/press-releases/skoda-enyaq-sportline-iv-electric-emotive-and-dynamic/ NIO REVEALS 'GEMINI' AS CODE NAME FOR NEW LUXURY EV LINE" Get Report revealed that "Gemini" is the code name for a new high-end electric vehicle lineup to be launched next year, burying speculation that the China-based EV maker was looking to release a less-expensive mass-entry-level electric car." says The Street: "NIO supplier JAC Group last month invited bids for construction of a NIO production line codenamed “Gemini” that would produce 60,000 units a year, sparking speculation that it would be a new entry-level NIO model. NIO-watchers got it half right. A NIO spokesperson confirmed on Monday that the “Gemini” project will involve building NIO-branded luxury cars that will compete with the likes of Tesla  (TSLA) - Get Report, Audi, BMW  (BMW)  and others - not lower-priced models." https://www.thestreet.com/investing/nio-code-gemini-new-luxury-electric-vehicle-line FIRST 100 BYD TANG SUVS SENT TO NORWAYBYD sent the first 100 units of the Tang EV to Norway, which is BYD's most expensive passenger BEV.

The production car, due in 2024, will be no ordinary Audi. Now being called Landjet by company officials, this new model aims to outdo Tesla in every way imaginable, from battery tech and range to autonomous driving capabilities. In short, Audi wants to create the new gold standard of all-electric and self-driving vehicles." says CarBuzz: "The German automaker has just announced the project has now entered a new phase. Development of the new high-tech flagship has been moved entirely in-house instead of operating as sort of a standalone division. Project Artemis, or Learjet, is widely expected to morph into the Audi A9 e-tron once it goes on sale. In addition to the Tesla Model S Plaid, its other main target will be the just-revealed Mercedes-Benz EQS." https://carbuzz.com/news/audi-takes-full-control-over-super-secret-project  QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What noises, if any, should electric vehicles make (inside or outside the vehicle) Email me your thoughts and I'll read them out on Sunday – 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. And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing. Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I'll catch you tomorrow and remember…there's no such thing as a self-charging hybrid. PREMIUM PARTNERSPHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE BRAD CROSBYPORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATIAUDI CINCINNATI EASTVOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNELRICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UKEMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/

Springpower’s process cleverly recirculates the chemical solution, removing the need for expensive water treatment.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/XZtxS/ Original Source : https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/04/tesla-taps-tiny-startups-tech-to-build-cheaper-cleaner-batteries/   TESLA USES SPRINGPOWER INTERNATIONAL TECH   - Thus, the purchase of patents, the description of Springpower technologies for the production of Tesla 4680 batteries, and several other factors indicate that the two companies have close cooperation, and perhaps hint at something more, such as an acquisition. For example, Springpower CEO Michael Wang has consistently interacted with posts by Tesla employees on LinkedIn, which may hint at a close and warm relationship.   - it is likely that Tesla has acquired a tiny startup whose technology was considered by others to be too far from commercialization. The symbiosis between Springpower and the largest electric vehicle manufacturer in the world will definitely bear very juicy fruit in the form of critical savings in battery production.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/2KIGW/ Original Source : https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-uses-springpower-international-technology-to-produce-batteries-economically-and-environmentally   Amrit Bhogan | LinkedIn Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/CrN0y/ Original Source : https://www.linkedin.com/in/amrit-bhogan-b395a1140/     Yang Liu | LinkedIn Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/lki9B/ Original Source : https://www.linkedin.com/in/yang-liu-8b50a9a2/     MG ROOF RAILS SAGA ENDS AFTER 7 MONTHS - After initially marketing the all-electric MG5 EV as having a roof carry capacity of 50kg, then backtracking and telling owners not to put anything on the roof, MG should soon be able to confirm that owners can actually add 35kg of luggage to the car’s roof rails. Seven months after the car first went on sale.   - it came to MG’s attention that key testing had not been done and therefore it could not confirm how much load can be carried on the car’s roof.   - The latest development is that the roof capacity should soon be confirmed as 35kg, once final signoff has been received from the UK vehicle standards body, the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), following a long series of tests.   - MG told us a validation testing procedure was missed due to human error, and the company has since amended its processes to prevent it recurring. Similarly, the original stated capacity of 50kg was also a result of human error.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/rdZLr/ Original Source : https://www.which.co.uk/news/2021/05/7-months-after-going-on-sale-mg-can-finally-say-whether-owners-of-its-electric-car-can-use-the-roof-rails/       FORD MUSTANG MACH-E PRODUCTION NUMBERS (1) Matthias Schmidt on Twitter: "20,960 all-electric Ford Mach-E manufactured during the first third of 2021 according to Ford data.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   RIVIAN’S 7 DAY, 1,000 MILE RETURN POLICY "As it prepares to make its very first deliveries of the R1T pickup this coming June, upstart EV automaker Rivian is also taking a few pages out of Tesla’s playbook. That includes opening a handful of showrooms across the U.S. (one of which has prompted a lawsuit), launching its own insurance company, offering online ordering, touchless delivery, and mobile service, and now, Rivian has announced that it will also give buyers a generous return policy that spans seven days or 1,000 miles." reports FordAuthority.com: "This is identical to Tesla’s seven-day, 1,000-mile return policy that was offered until last fall when it mysteriously disappeared from the automaker’s website. Presumably, Tesla determined that it no longer needed to provide this extra bit of peace of mind to its consumers, but Rivian is in a different boat. The Ford- and Amazon-backed upstart hasn’t delivered a single vehicle yet and needs to assure customers that they have a way out if things go horribly wrong."   https://fordauthority.com/2021/04/rivian-will-offer-7-day-1000-mile-return-policy-at-launch/   PORSCHE PLANS EV BATTERY CELL FACTORY IN GERMANY " Porsche is speeding up its e-mobility drive with plans for a German factory to manufacture battery cells for electric vehicles, CEO Oliver Blume told a German newspaper." says Automotive News Europe: "European automakers are looking to reduce their dependence on Asian manufacturers as they ramp up production of electric cars to meet tougher environmental rules in the European Union. Porsche will purchase EV batteries from its parent company Volkswagen Group which plans to build half a dozen battery cell plants across Europe. Existing battery suppliers are focusing on volume so that more specialized needs such as Porsche's are falling to the back of the line"   CEO Oliver Blume: "Battery cells are a key technology for Germany's automobile industry which we must also have in our own country, Porsche wants to play a pioneering role in this.But there will also be a segment for high-performance battery cells, it's a Porsche domain. Just as we developed high-performance internal combustion engines, we now want to be at the forefront of high-performance batteries."   InsideEVs Speculates: "At this point, there are no details about the investment, but we can make some assumptions. For sure there might be battery chemistries that offer higher energy density and power density than in the case of mainstream/premium cars, but they come at a higher cost.  Moreover, there might be battery formats (cell type) that offer better performance but are not used due to higher manufacturing costs. Another path might be cells designed from the beginning for integration with the vehicle as a structural component."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/porsche-plans-ev-battery-cell-factory-germany   https://insideevs.com/news/503384/porsche-plans-battery-plant-germany/   WORLD'S LARGEST MOTORCYCLE MARKET WILL START USING EV SCOOTERS "Motorcycle makers have made some splashy announcements about the effort to electrify bikes, but nowhere near as many as carmakers have. Bike makers are taking a slow and steady approach to electrification, but Gogoro and Hero MotoCorp are now teaming up to bring EV scooters to the biggest two-wheel market of all." says Jalopnik: "Gogoro’s battery-swapping network and electric scooters are coming to India under a partnership with Hero, a name you may recognize as one of the world’s biggest bike makers. We may be well on the way to EV bikes! Gogoro, which estimates that there are currently “225 million gas-powered two-wheel vehicles” in the country."   https://jalopnik.com/the-worlds-largest-motorcycle-market-will-start-using-e-1846752188   UK REPLACES FRANCE AS EUROPE’S SECOND LARGEST ELECTRIC CAR MARKET "The UK overtook France to become Europe’s second largest electric car market in the first quarter of the year, amid rising demand for cars with zero exhaust emissions." reports the Guardian: "About 31,800 battery electric cars were sold in the UK in the first three months of the year, compared with 30,500 in France, according to analysis by Matthias Schmidt, an independent automotive analyst. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 was the first year in which European consumers bought more than half a million electric cars. That is expected to double to 1m sales in 2021, although pure electrics will still be only a tenth of the total European car market by 2024. Germany is by far the biggest single market for battery electric cars in Europe, with 64,700 sold in the first quarter. That performance was helped in part by generous subsidies."   https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/25/uk-replaces-france-as-europe-second-largest-electric-car-market   VOLKSWAGEN SURVEY SHOWS AMERICAN SUV OWNERS AND SHOPPERS READY TO EMBRACE EVS Volkswagen of America announced today the results of a new survey that found that momentum and consideration of EVs is growing sharply with American SUV owners and shoppers, along with appreciation of their environmental benefit of no direct emissions, despite many of them having no experience of driving an electric vehicle. To gauge the appetite for electric vehicles, the new survey polled 1,000 SUV owners and 500 SUV shoppers in the United States—who are looking to purchase one in the next six months—and found that overall, more than 70% had never had the chance to drive an EV. Yet, 65% of owners and 76% of shoppers are more interested in EVs than they were a year ago. Almost half of owners (45%) and nearly six in 10 shoppers (58%) say they are likely to buy an EV the next time they purchase a vehicle.   https://www.automotiveworld.com/news-releases/volkswagen-survey-shows-american-suv-owners-and-shoppers-ready-to-embrace-evs/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   We were asking: would you buy a Chinese made EV?   Would you buy a Chinese-made EV?   ADRIAN BOND OF COLCHESTER EVS I think it depends more on the reputation of the manufacture than the country.  If the MG ZS EV had been out in the U.K. when we were ditching our ‘Self Charging Hybrid’ (calm down...) Mk2 Prius a few years ago, we wouldn’t have bought our PHEV Outlander.   MG China had already shown they could build quality vehicles at reasonable prices and the MG ZS EV is a great SUV. And if they build an MG TF EV, an EV version of a  great convertible that they already have the tooling for, I’d fight to be first in the queue.  And after all, a lot of the components used to make EVs are from China anyway, just that final assembly is elsewhere.   Thanks again for the great shows!   STEVE JOHN Would I buy a Chinese EV? I am the proud driver of a Polestar 2, and loving every minute of it

Das Elektroflaggschiff EQS von Daimler feiert heute seine Weltpremiere. Kann der Stuttgarter Autohersteller mit Konkurrenten wie Tesla mithalten – oder sogar neue Standards setzen? Matthias Schmidt, Titelautor der Stuttgarter Zeitung, durfte schon mal mitfahren. Seine Eindrücke schildert er im heutigen Podcast. Stuttgart - Neue Autos hat der Daimler-Konzern in den vergangenen Jahren viele vorgestellt, aber wohl kaum ein Fahrzeug von solcher Bedeutung: Der EQS, die elektrische Variante der S-Klasse, könnte darüber entscheiden, ob der Stuttgarter Autobauer mit den Pionieren der Elektromobilität wie Tesla und anderen Konkurrenten Schritt halten kann – oder sogar auf die Überholspur wechselt. Matthias Schmidt, Titelautor der Stuttgarter Zeitung, hat sich den EQS schon mal genauer angesehen. Wie sich der elektrische Luxus anfühlt, erzählt er im heutigen Podcast.

However, the number of corrections is relatively low as Xpeng has demonstrated in a recent test. Xpeng in March invited 228 journalists, EV enthusiasts and industry experts to test the NGP in a fleet of P7 sedans traveling between the Chinese cities of Guangzhou and Beijing. The particular route was chosen due to the complex situations the cars would encounter, as well as it being representative of conditions found on most Chinese highways. After compiling the results, it was found that the system required on average 0.71 corrections per 62 miles. NGP relies on an array of sensors as well as GPS navigation and high-definition map data. The sensors include 14 cameras, five millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, with all of the data processed by Nvidia's Drive Xavier computer chip."   https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1131771_xpeng-self-driving-system-tested-over-1-800-mile-road-trip   JOE BIDEN UNVEILS AMERICA’S INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN "On March 31st he announced the first half of his massive infrastructure package—laden both with old-fashioned blue-collar building projects as well as newfangled initiatives to help propel America into a greener future. $174bn of it will go on electric vehicles—tax credits to help consumers afford them, to encourage states to build 500,000 public charging stations and to boost domestic supply chains (the White House laments the size of America’s electric-vehicle market, which is just one-third that of China’s)." reports The Economist.   The Washington Post had an odd take: "The intention here is good, but these efforts could strand America behind the international curve. That’s because they ignore a burgeoning global trend in EV charging: a shift toward battery swapping. This simple, powerful mode of EV refueling uses robots to physically remove empty batteries and replace them with fully charged batteries — much as you would change the batteries in a flashlight. It’s already propelling the spread of scooters, electric rickshaws and EVs throughout China. “Fast chargers” represent an incomplete solution at best, partly because the name is a misnomer: they still take roughly an hour to charge."   The author: Levi Tillemann.  He is vice president for policy and international outreach at Ample.   https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/04/01/joe-biden-unveils-americas-most-ambitious-infrastructure-plan-in-generations   APPLE’S MASSIVE CALIFORNIA SOLAR FARM WILL USE TESLA ‘MEGAPACK’ BATTERIES "Earlier today, Apple announced it was building one of the largest battery projects in the United States, located at the California Flats Solar Project, in Monterey County. What Apple didn’t disclose was the huge solar farm would be leveraging ‘megapack’ batteries from Tesla to store excess energy from the sun. According to The Verge, Monterey County confirmed Tesla ‘megapack’ batteries would be used by Apple:" says iPhone Canada: "Apple says its new energy storage project would have enough juice to power over 7,000 homes for one day."   https://www.iphoneincanada.ca/news/apples-massive-california-solar-farm-will-use-tesla-megapack-batteries/   A UNIVERSAL CHARGING STANDARD IS NEEDED FOR MASS EV ADOPTION "Rivian’s recently introduced Adventure Network of chargers sets the stage for a future of automaker exclusive charging made up of a confusing combo of charger types and exclusive networks. From a business standpoint, this makes sense for automakers. Enticing customers with an exclusive charging network can be sold as a benefit to both current and previous EV owners as well as people who aren’t owners and are on the fence about ownership. From a mass adoption standpoint, it won’t work." writes Gizmodo: " Tesla is the only automakers that uses its own proprietary charge connector. When Tesla established the Supercharger network in late 2012 it created its own Tesla-specific DC fast charging connector, because the common standard CCS plug didn’t yet exist. Tesla has clung to its own charger, despite everyone else agreeing on a new standard, shutting everyone else out from using the Supercharger network."   https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2021/04/a-universal-charging-standard-is-needed-for-mass-ev-adoption/   EXTREME E SERIES STARTS THIS WEEKEND "Extreme E is an exciting new motorsport, racing all-electric SUVs off-road in five different venues across diverse, challenging terrains. These venues are located in some of the most remote places on earth, and they’ve been chosen because these places have been devastated by the effects of climate change." reports CNBC: "There are nine teams, each with one male and female driver (gender equality being another pillar of Extreme E), including famous names from many different motorsports. We have three Formula 1 world champions as team owners — Lewis Hamilton (X44), Nico Rosberg (Rosberg X Racing) and Jenson Button (JBXE) who is also a driver himself. Also among the driver line-up are former world rally champions Sébastien Loeb who won nine straight titles between 2004 and 2012 and twice-winner Carlos Sainz who has three Dakar Rally crowns.

Lucid has been “approached by a few car companies this year” over licensing deals, Rawlinson told the Guardian. Those talks have yielded “nothing tangible” yet and the prospect of earning revenues from partnerships with other carmakers, he says, remains very speculative."   “The dichotomy is we need to get millions of $25,000 cars into production fast to save the planet. We’ve got the right technology but as a company I can’t get there for about eight, nine years, and it’s too late.”   https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/03/meet-the-briton-leading-a-tesla-rival-who-wants-to-save-the-planet-lucid     NISSAN ON PATH TO COBALT-FREE EV BATTERIES BY MID-2020S "Nissan Motor intends to start using cobalt-free EV batteries by the mid-2020s, Nikkei has learned, as the rare metal element falls into short supply and concern rises about further price increases now that global demand for electric vehicles is swelling." reports Nikkei.com: "The Japanese automaker wants to reduce the cost of electric vehicles, without affecting the range of these cars on a single charge. Batteries account for 30% of an electric vehicle's manufacturing cost. And about 20% of the battery's cost comes from the positive electrode, which is made of 20% cobalt as well as nickel and manganese. Nissan says it will reduce cobalt's composition ratio to about 10% for an AriYa electric vehicle to be introduced later this year."   https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Environment/Climate-Change/Nissan-on-path-to-cobalt-free-EV-batteries-by-mid-2020s2   BP JOINS BMW, DAIMLER EV CHARGING VENTURE "bp agreed to join BMW Group and Daimler Mobility AG in their drive to extend and significantly improve electrification, making electric vehicle charging more convenient, simpler and seamless for drivers." electric Vehicles Research: "Digital Charging Solutions GmbH stands behind the CHARGE NOW brand and operates charging services such as "Mercedes me Charge", "BMW Charging" and "MINI Charging".

Wie schützen Unternehmen ihre Mitarbeiter? Seite heute ist klar, dass bald Schnelltests auf den Markt kommen, die man selbst zu Hause als Laie anwenden kann. Schon jetzt müssen sich die Unternehmen im Land aber fragen, wie sie ihre Mitarbeiter vor Ansteckungen zu schützen können und welche Rolle dabei Schnelltests spielen. Wie sich die Unternehmen aufstellen, erklärt heute Matthias Schmidt, Titelautor der Stuttgarter Zeitung, in unserem StZ Feierabend Podcast. Moderation: Eva-Maria Manz Produktion: Marian Hepp Redaktion: Miriam Hesse

Die deutsche Gewaltherrschaft, der Zweite Weltkrieg und die Vertreibung – tschechisch Odsun/Abzug - zerstörten das friedliche Zusammenleben von Tschechen und Sudetendeutschen. Die Benesch-Dekret, die die Deutschen 1945 entrechteten, sind umstritten. Doch erst jetzt wagt eine junge Generation von Tschechen, wie die Gruppe „Antikomplex“, eine kritische Reflexion. Erstmals schauen Tschechen und Deutsche gemeinsam zurück, in einer Koproduktion des MDR mit dem öffentlich-rechtlichen, tschechischen TV-Sender CT in Zusammenarbeit mit Arte. Lange Zeit hatte jedes Land „getrennte“ Erinnerung auf die Ereignisse von 1918 bis heute. Die Dokumentation bemüht sich um eine gemeinsame Aufarbeitung im Sinne einer europäischen Erinnerungskultur. Von Vít Poláček und Matthias Schmidt

Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst aus Berlin, gibt uns die Möglichkeit einen Blick auf die E-Auto- und Plug-In-Hybrid-Zulassungen im ersten Halbjahr für den europäischen Elektroautomarkt zu werfen. Wie in den Monaten zuvor, zeigt sich, dass sich die Zulassungen der beiden Segmente stark angenähert haben. Bis Ende Juni bracht es der europäische Markt auf 215.711 reine E-Auto- sowie 164.063 PHEV-Zulassungen. Im Podcast betrachten wir, wie sich Elektroauto- und PHEV-Anteil auf Herstellerseite verhalten. Welcher Hersteller mehr auf Teilzeitstromer oder Vollstromer setzt und wie der Anteil an den Gesamtzulassungen des jeweiligen Herstellers bis Ende Juni 2020 aussehen.

Stark beeinflusst durch die Corona-Pandemie werden wir nicht, wie eigentlich zu erwarten war, in diesem Jahr die magische Grenze von 700.000 E-Fahrzeugen in einem Jahr knacken. Dies wurde im vergangenen Jahr von Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst, noch als möglich erachtet. Wohlgemerkt vor Corona. Mittlerweile hat er diese Aussage korrigiert auf 556.000 E-Autozulassungen. Wir wagen gemeinsam einen Blick darauf, was in puncto Zulassungszahlen 2020 noch realistisch erscheint, worauf wir uns in den kommenden Jahren einstellen können. Und warum die Unterstützung durch die Politik ebenso wichtig erscheint, wie die klare Fokussierung der Hersteller auf E-Mobilität. Hör vorbei, es lohnt sich.

Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst aus Berlin, gibt uns die Möglichkeit einen Blick auf die E-Auto- und Plug-In-Hybrid-Zulassungen in den ersten fünf Monaten des Jahres für den europäischen Elektroautomarkt zu werfen. Hierbei zeigt sich, dass sich die Zulassungen der beiden Segmente doch stark angenähert haben. Bis Ende Mai bracht es der europäische Markt auf 165.870 reine E-Auto- sowie 132.203 PHEV-Zulassungen. Wie sich diese im Detail auf die einzelnen Länder aufteilen, wodurch das starke Wachstum der PHEV zustande kommt und welche Modelle an vorderster Front zu finden sind betrachten wir nachfolgend. Hör vorbei.

Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst, zeigte uns bereits im April 2020 auf, dass die Elektroauto-Zulassungszahlen in Europa in 2020 eher rückläufig sein werden. Im Rückblick betrachtet war zumindest noch das erste Quartal 2020 positiv geprägt, insbesondere im Vergleich zum Weltmarkt entwickelte sich der europäische Elektroautomarkt positiv. Doch nach 41 Monaten Wachstum, in denen Monat für Monat der europäische Elektroautomarkt gewachsen ist, verzeichnet er im April 2020 erstmalig ein Rückgang. Um -30,2 Prozent brach der Elektroautomarkt in Europa ein, der gesamte PKW-Markt im gleichen Zeitraum um -79,9 Prozent. Wir betrachten den E-Automarkt Europas im Detail.

Die ersten vier Monate des Jahres 2020 haben wir hinter uns gebracht. Stark geprägt vom Coronavirus beziehungsweise der Covid-19 Pandemie. Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst, gab in diesem Zusammenhang bereits zu verstehen, dass die Elektroauto-Zulassungszahlen in Europa in 2020 eher rückläufig sein werden. Hierdurch stehen nicht mehr die 700.000 E-Autozulassungen als Zielmarke im Raum, sondern die um 144.000 Einheiten auf 556.000 reduziert Marke. Des Weiteren verändert sich, getrieben durch Auswirkungen des Coronavirus, die Entwicklung des europäischen E-Auto-Markts in Gänze. Das Ganze habe ich in diese Folge des Elektroauto-News.net Podcast für dich betrachtet.

In der NDR Info Sendereihe "Im Anfang war das Wort" spricht Pastorin Susanne Richter mit dem Psychologen Matthias Schmidt.

Show #739   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 5th April 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   GERMANY HITS RECORD 9.2% EV MARKET SHARE IN MARCH "Europe’s largest auto market, Germany, hit another all-time record plug-in electric vehicle market share in March, reaching 9.2%. The Tesla Model 3 was the best selling full electric model, with an estimated 1490 sales, just ahead of the Renault Zoe. Overall auto market volume fell 38% year on year." says CleanTechnica: "The German EV market was fairly balanced between plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and full battery electrics (BEVs). Notably, plug-in vehicles overtook old-tech plug-less hybrids for the first time. Germany’s 37.7% fall in March auto sales was tough, but still relatively mild compared to a 69% drop in Spain, 72% drop in France, and massive 85% drop in Italy."   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/04/04/germany-hits-record-9-2-ev-market-share-in-march-tesla-model-3-1/   HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR TESLA IS OK DURING A STAY-AT-HOME ORDER "Quarantined at home?  Here are some tips to keep your electric vehicle healthy while sitting for an extended period of time." says Kyle at Out of Spec Motoring. Explains phantom drain in much greater detail. Understanding it is important for all EV owners. He also talks about keeping your car at a 30 to 50 percent state of charge while storing it, opening the car and letting the interior breathe from time to time (hopefully there's no old food or anything else suspect inside), and putting some extra air in your tires.   NEW AUDI E-TRON SPORTBACK "The Sportback line-up mirrors that of the regular e-tron so there are two versions available, starting with the 50 quattro, which has a 71kWh battery, 217-mile range and develops 309bhp. The more potent 55 quattro, which we’re driving here, uses a 95kWh battery for a 278-mile range, and develops a more eye-catching 404bhp." writes AutoExpress: "One thing that doesn’t change, regardless of the version, is the compromise you have to make with the Sportback. It’s 4.9 metres long, like the regular model, but there is around 20mm less headroom in the back, along with an overall luggage capacity that has dropped by 45 litres because of the sloping roofline." Auto Express go on to say: "Speaking of long drives, they are reasonably feasible, thanks to the e-tron’s rapid-charging capability. Hooked up to an ultra-rapid 150kW charger, the battery can be topped up from 10-80 per cent in 30 minutes. The only trouble is finding one; currently there are fewer than 900 publicly available in the UK"   OVER 4,000 VW E-GOLF ORDERS IN GERMANY IN ONE MONTH "People in Germany are wanting more Volkswagen e-Golf than ever before - sort of. According to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de), the number of orders for the "good-old" Volkswagen e-Golf went through the roof in Germany last month." reports InsideEVs: "The "internal industry sources" indicate that a record of more than 4,000 new orders were placed in March, which sounds extreme not only because of the number but also because of the COVID-19 outbreak."   https://insideevs.com/news/407887/unofficial-4000-vw-egolf-orders-germany-march/   VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 PROMISES THE INDUSTRY’S MOST BRILLIANT HEAD-UP DISPLAY "The Volkswagen ID.3 may have encountered some software issues just as it was about to start shipping, but even so, it’s arguably still worth the wait for many of the advanced pieces of tech it has to offer. One is the optional advanced head-up display system, which based on what we’ve seen in VW’s promo videos, is more brilliant and more advanced than anything else on the market." according to Motor1.com: "Mind you, we’re still taking this with a grain of salt, since VW says that what it has shown so far is a near-production version of the system that will be available for the ID.3, so it is still subject to change. But the manufacturer clearly states that “The augmented reality head-up display projects the navigation directions straight into the traffic situation ahead, as you’re driving.”" “So it will show you arrows hovering right above the intersection where you need to turn (as well as various other graphics to highlight other cars, for instance) and your destination will be displayed on this HUD too; it looks a lot like what you might see in a free-roam car game and it honestly looks a bit too good to be true.”   https://www.msn.com/en-gb/autos/enthusiasts/volkswagen-id3-promises-the-industry-e2-80-99s-most-brilliant-heads-up-display/ar-BB12eISD   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   Rajeev Narayan I say we give them the benefit of the doubt, we need all hands on deck, to move towards EVs. My Chevy Bolt had software issues when I bought it, but they have been fixed with software updates. If GM can do it, I am confident VW can as well.   Stefan Neither a pass or a hammer should be applied.   The market will punish or reward legacy auto makers for the speed of their transition to EV's.  Due to poor performance of Legacy automakers Tesla is here to stay.  If they keep it up the big 3 may refer to Tesla, Rivian and Lucid.   Rich Fowler I had an immediate reaction to your question about VW, and the TL;DR version is: Don't dogpile on a company that's not doing something legally, ethically, or morally wrong at the moment. On the other hand, if VW were to get caught up in more diesel shenanigans, then it would be perfectly fair to point out a "pattern or practice of bad faith activity," and pile on.  But with this story, that isn't the case. This is a case where they've bitten off a bit more than they can chew on the software side, and they're still actually TRYING to make EVs.   Alex McKenna Maybe VW shouldn't have used Windows ! That's asking for trouble :-)   Peter Sort i would not like one of those ID3s that been sitting in a feild for months uncharged what battery damage will have been done befor you even get it                 John Hughes Question of the week - We should treat them as hard as they treated Tesla, in the early days, when Tesla was having development problems.   Roger Starkey If they came (come) to market quietly, or showing respect for those already there, the same respect should be shown to them. If they came in "talking the talk", with a "killer" attitude..... They deserve "criticism" to match.   Peter Mooney Yes, I do think we should give them a hard time. But only when they put profit ahead of what is right, and employ FUD to do it.  They should be held accountable for their part in climate change.   JOHN FRUHWIRTH I say no. We should not go easy on  big auto. They have given us a misleading/fraudulent song and dance for far too long. Their greed has not only cost us billions, polluted our environment but they have also contributed to our greatly to our health problems. Tesla has shown us that their model building compelling EVs is woefully wanting. Not only can they not make a car to compete with Tesla's 2012 vintage cars in terms of efficiency, they cannot even manage their supply chains (e.g. enough batteries to keep their factories up and running). And now we learn that they have no idea how to make the software to run the hardware.   BARRY WOLF Even though VW is going electric because of its sins, it is good that it is investing $billions, both on internal projects, and fines, to advance EV transport. Instead of criticizing it, I would hope people could offer to help in some way to get the ID.3 on the road. Not that I can program, but maybe, especially now during the plague, there are those with automotive BEV expertise who can offer help to VW.   LEANNE ROBERTS I don't think that manufacturers that are trying to make EVs should be heavily criticised. I do however think that companies who refuse to acknowledge the changes to personal transport or update their OLD hybrid technology, should be shamed and forced to remove their grossly misleading advertising.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   If you’re staying at home and not driving, what condition or state of charge are you leaving your EV parked up in?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 238 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

2020 ist nun auch schon ein paar Tage alt. 2019 haben wir aber noch nicht so ganz hinter uns lassen können. Vielleicht gelingt es uns nach dieser Folge des Elektroauto-News.net Podcasts. Gemeinsam werfen wir noch einmal einen Blick zurück, auf ein Jahr, welches für die E-Mobilität von großer Bedeutung war. Ein Jahr der Elektromobilität welches vor allem durch Tesla maßgeblich geprägt wurde. Matthias Schmidt, Automobil-Analyst, ist sich sicher, dass 2019 in den westeuropäischen Geschichtsbüchern für Elektroautos als “das Jahr des Tesla” in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Das Unternehmen, unter der Leitung von Elon Musk, trug maßgeblich zum 78,9-prozentigen Anstieg der reinen Elektroauto-Zulassungen Europa im vergangenen Jahr bei. Aber hör doch am Besten selbst.

Show #640   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 13th November 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   TESLA’S MODEL 3 SUCCESS HITS BMW THE HARDEST Part 4 of Bloomberg's Tesla Owner survey is out and it's a recommended read. Here are some highlights: "We asked 5,000 owners about what it’s like to live with Elon Musk’s electric car. Here’s what we found.The average Model 3 goes for around $50,000, which is more than any of the top 10 vehicles that buyers traded in from other brands, according to responses to Bloomberg’s Model 3 owners survey. No other sedan in America is generating more revenue. While Tesla took the largest number of customers from Toyota, it affects the Japanese automaker very little. That’s because Toyota’s market share in the U.S. is enormous. [However] as a proportion of a brand’s U.S. sales. It shows BMW to be the automaker with the most to lose—almost five times more vulnerable than Mercedes-Benz.  Many said Tesla’s mission to accelerate the adoption of electric cars creates an unusual sense of owner camaraderie. About 55% of respondents said their opinion of Musk influenced their decision to purchase the car. Model 3 Owners Are Tesla’s Biggest Sales Force."   In terms of the brands most vulnerable, BMW, Mini, Audi, Acura, Infiniti, Porsche, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.   https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-tesla-model-3-survey/market-evolution.html#intro   TESLA ADDS MORE BATTERY CAPACITY TO HELP EV OWNERS ESCAPE BUSH-FIRES "Tesla has issued a temporary software update to vehicle owners in regions of NSW and Queensland currently impacted by bush fires. It extends the available battery capacity in some models that otherwise have that capacity locked by the vehicle’s software." reports TheDriven.io: "the software update would allow owners of models that include the Tesla S 60 and 60D, which come installed with a 75kWh battery, but that is limited by software that makes only 60kWh available"   https://thedriven.io/2019/11/13/with-flick-of-switch-tesla-adds-more-battery-capacity-to-help-ev-owners-escape-bush-fires/   SEAT MII ELECTRIC SEAT starts its electric offensive with the introduction of the Mii electric. The new model is SEAT’s first all­-electric production vehicle and lays the groundwork for future members to join the family. More EVs and PHEVs are due in the near future, including the all­electric SEAT el-­Born, plug­-in hybrid versions of the Tarraco and Leon, and high-­performance plug-­in hybrid versions of CUPRA Formentor and CUPRA Leon. The Home Charge option adds a charging cable to charge directly at home using a 2.3 kW system, while Fast brings CCS fast charging capability with a DC charging capacity of 40kW.   The all­-electric city car is the first model to include SEAT CONNECT. The system gives remote access and management of the vehicle, so customers can review driving data, parking position, the vehicle’s status, including doors and lights, manage the charging process via the e-­Manager and the ability to control air­-conditioning remotely – an important technology when you’re faced with extremes in climate – all from a smartphone app.   From electrive: "Seat makes the affordability of the electric model a selling point: Mii costs around the same as a combustion engine car of comparable size and power, only with lower running costs  – and here Seat also refers to the significantly lower maintenance costs of electric vehicles. With regard to equipment, Seat has decided to keep the range simple: With the Mii electric and Mii electric Plus"   EMPLOYERS SHOULD SEE WORKPLACE CHARGING AS MORE THAN A PERK FOR ITS WORKERS "Workplace electric vehicle charging is often seen as an employment perk both by businesses and their (current or prospective) employees, but that strategy could be short-sighted. On-site electric chargers may actually be a boon for business, a report suggests, potentially bringing in customers and attracting a stable, engaged workforce." according to Green Car Reports: "The study, conducted by Wood Mackenzie (a subsidiary of data analytics firm Verisk), says that businesses underestimate the value of on-site electric chargers. Data suggest that not only might electric chargers attract customers, but the particular types of buyers they bring in are highly desirable."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1125927_report-employers-should-see-workplace-charging-as-more-than-a-perk-for-its-workers   CHINA: 46.38 GWH OF EV BATTERIES DEPLOYED SO FAR THIS YEAR "The Chinese EV lithium-ion battery market grew so far this year to over 46 GWh, and close to 51% falls on CATL. BYD's share over 10 months is 20%, which together is almost 71%." reports InsideEVs: "Despite the YTD numbers being healthy, the past three months bring decline. Let's take a look at the details, provided by the Moneyball.   Top Chinese EV battery manufacturers by installed capacity (January-October):   CATL - 23.58  GWh (up 65%) BYD - 9.23 GWh (up 12%) Guoxuan - 2.37 GWh (up 43%) Lishen - 1.27 GWh (down 1%) CALB - 1.12 GWh (up 307%) Over ten months of 2019, some 46.38 GWh of batteries were deployed in New Energy Vehicles, which is 38% more than a year ago:   Passenger cars - 33.61 GWh (up 55%) Buses - 9.39 GWh (down 8%) SPV (other) - 3.39 GWh (up 19%)"   https://insideevs.com/news/381619/china-46-gwh-ev-batteries-deployed/   TESLA AUTOPILOT NEARS 2 BILLION MILES DRIVEN, FULL-SELF DRIVING CONTINUES TO IMPROVE "Tesla is yet to issue a formal announcement about its total Autopilot miles to date, though a model by MIT researcher Lex Fridman has predicted that the 2-billion-mile mark will be crossed sometime on November 11, 2019. That being said, Fridman’s model might even be a bit conservative, considering that Tesla’s fleet is growing by the day and more and more vehicles are traveling across the globe on Autopilot thanks to the Model 3 ramp." says Simon at Teslarati: "If Tesla does confirm Autopilot’s 2-billion-mile milestone, it would be a great accomplishment for the electric car maker. After all, it took 4 over four years for Tesla’s fleet of vehicles to reach 1 billion real-world miles on Autopilot. Provided that Lex Fridman’s estimates are accurate, Autopilot’s next billion miles seems to have taken less than a year to accomplish."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-autopilot-hits-2-billion-miles-full-self-driving/   NISSAN IS IN ABSOLUTE SHAMBLES From Forbes: "In Europe the Leaf also seems to be paying the price for being the pioneer overtaken by late-comers with better technology and sexier-looking models, said Berlin-based automotive analyst Matthias Schmidt. “The Leaf is in danger of being in the position of standing before the EV wall and assisting others over it, thanks to establishing the electric market early on with its first generation model, yet potentially finding it more of an effort to clear the wall itself once the other manufacturers have cleared it,” Schmidt said."   https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2019/11/12/nissan-leaf-sales-falter-as-new-competitors-offer-better-technology-looks/#7aacee5f1a74   From Jalopnik: "Hot on the heels of Honda announcing sales down, Nissan laid out a historically bad report of profits being down an amazing 70 percent, the company’s worst outlook in 11 years, as the Japan Times reports: Nissan, whose financial performance has been in the doldrums for nearly two years, cut its forecast for operating profit to 150 billion in the year through March 2020, from a previous forecast of 230 billion. The new forecast means earnings for the full year will be at their worst in 11 years."   https://jalopnik.com/nissan-is-absolute-shambles-1839799530   SHELL FIXES FIRST EV CHARGING STATIONS IN U.S "Shell’s first electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in the United States, has been installed at Boston Logan International Airport."   says PetrolWorld.com: "The 50-kW Veelfil-RT DC fast-charging stations were installed by Greenlots, a Los Angeles-based provider of EV charging and energy management software that was acquired by Shell in 2019, with the units manufactured by Tritium, an Australian firm.

Show #631   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 4th November 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   A MESSAGE FROM TRY EV   "Try EV aims to transform the car purchasing process, educate on owning an EV and ignite EV interest. Try EV promotes “electrify to buy”. It is a platform to enable customers to learn, compare, customise and experiment with EVs before making a final buying decision. To scale the business growth, the brand is raising funds to invest in “pop-up” retail facilities, to attract key talent, to facilitate partnerships with major leasing companies, OEMs and charging networks and to refine marketing and promotion efforts.  The revenue model incorporates memberships, sales commission, test drive fees and credit lines. Starting in London initially, additional revenue is expected from activities related to after-sales engagement."   crowdcube.com/tryev   PRODUCTION OF THE VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 STARTS IN ZWICKAU From VW: "Today saw the official start of series production of the ID.301. The first car in the new generation of electric vehicles (EVs) – a white ID.3 – rolled off the assembly line watched by Federal Chancellor Dr. Angela Merkel and Group CEO Dr. Herbert Diess. The Volkswagen Group plans to sell some 22 million EVs worldwide by 2028, thus helping EVs make the breakthrough. Zwickau has a key role to play in this endeavor: For the first time, a large car manufacturing plant is being entirely converted to e-mobility, with investments running at €1.2 billion. Zwickau is already scheduled to produce some 100,000 electric models next year. From 2021, up to 330,000 EVs will leave the assembly line each year, making the site the largest and most efficient EV factory in Europe and a trailblazer in the transformation of Volkswagen’s global production network. With the phased transformation of the Zwickau factory, Volkswagen is fully converting a large car manufacturing plant to e-mobility for the first time. Some €1.2 billion is being invested in the conversion. In the final expansion stage from 2021, six MEB models from three Group brands will be built in Zwickau. Qualification measures are preparing all 8,000 employees for EV production and working with high-voltage technology. In total, the Zwickau team will have completed some 13,000 training days by the end of 2020, thus ensuring future-proof jobs at the Zwickau plant."   "The Volkswagen ID.3 will be available with 3 battery options: Standard range: 45 kWh (usable) and 330 km of WLTP range, Mid range: 58 kWh (usable) and 420 km of WLTP range, Long range: 77 kWh (usable) and 550 km of WLTP range" says Pedro at PushEVs: "The Chinese battery maker CATL intends to start European production by the end of 2020 near Erfurt, capital of the German state of Thuringia. My guess is that CATL will produce the standard range battery pack, therefore I don’t expect the entry-level variant to be available in 2020. the Volkswagen ID.3, it seems to be the only electric car with production figures that could match the Tesla Model 3 in 2021. Most electric cars have ridiculous production figures that prove that they are just vanity projects and automakers aren’t serious about them."   "According to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de), today the production rate on a single morning shift is about 30 cars per day. It will gradually increase over the ramp-up phase to not encounter any setback along the way, towards up to 800 cars per day using one production line over three shifts from Spring 2020." says InsideEVs: "Interestingly, when the second production line goes online, up to 1,500 electric cars will be produced over three shifts. That should be enough to fulfill the target of producing 330,000 MEB-based BEVs annually. Volkswagen is also testing production of two other models in Zwickau: SEAT el-Born -- Volkswagen ID.4 (Volkswagen ID. CROZZ concept). An Audi model is expected in summer 2020 (using a second production line). That leaves us with two more free slots."   Gus at InsideEVs also had an interesting take on why it's taking so long: "The ID.3 production started eight months before the promised delivery date, or with four times more anticipation than a regular car would require. the plant is not entirely dedicated to EVs nowadays. Coincidence or not, deliveries for the ID.3 will start precisely when the production of combustion-engined cars stops there. That is when the rest of Zwickau's conversion to e-mobility will take place. We have contacted Volkswagen and got one more reason for the production to start so early: the German carmaker wants to get the ID.3 right in every sense. In order to do that, it will count on its employees. "   https://pushevs.com/2019/11/04/production-of-the-id-3-starts-in-zwickau/   https://insideevs.com/news/380318/vw-id3-production-30-day/   https://insideevs.com/news/380506/vw-id3-delay-reach-market/   VW CEO DIESS SAYS BATTERIES ARE BETTER THAN HYDROGEN “At Volkswagen’s ceremony celebrating the start of ID.3 production, CEO Herbert Diess made several comments on the electrification of the industry. In particular, he stated that batteries, as opposed to hydrogen, are a quicker and cheaper way to reduce automotive industry emissions. He also called for a price on carbon and committed to reducing his company’s fleet carbon emissions by 30% by 2025, and to zero carbon by 2050." reports Electrek: "German Chancellor Angela Merkel also spoke at the event. She called for the German government to increase electric car incentives and set a target for the country to install a million public charging stations by 2030 to fuel 7-10 million German EVs by the same year."   2020 VW E-GOLF ELECTRIC CAR RANGE FALLS "For its last year, though, the e-Golf loses a little bit of range—2 miles, to be exact. " says  Green Car Reports: "The official EPA range for the 2020 e-Golf falls to 123 miles, from 125 miles for the 2017-2019 editions of the model. Likewise, efficiency figures for the model change significantly—from 119 MPGe (28 kwh/100 miles) to 113 MPGe (30 kwh/100 miles). Spokesman Mark Gillies confirmed to Green Car Reports that there is no change for the 2020 e-Golf, versus 2019, and that it comes down to changes in EPA testing procedure. So real-world range between vehicles of the two model years should be identical."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1125806_2020-vw-e-golf-electric-car-range-falls-just-before-id-ev-range-rises   BMW X3 PHEV BREAKS COVER WITH 292 HP, UP TO 20 MILES ELECTRIC RANGE "While the automotive world is awaiting the debut of the all-electric BMW X3 next year, the Bavarian company has quietly introduced a plug-in hybrid powertrain for the premium SUV. Initially previewed earlier this year, the X3 xDrive30e is set to enter production at BMW’s Spartanburg plant next month and go on sale worldwide in the spring of 2020." according to Motor1.com "Integrated into the transmission is an electric motor capable of pushing out 109 hp (80 kW). A number most customers will probably be more interested in is 20 – that’s how many miles (32 kilometers) the plug-in SUV could travel solely on electric energy before the combustion engine kicks in, according to BMW USA's estimates."   https://www.motor1.com/news/380196/bmw-x3-xdrive30e-unveiled/   DIESEL BAN FOR BRISTOL APPROVED "Bristol will become the first city in the UK to ban diesel cars from its streets, to tackle illegal levels of air pollution. Bristol City Council voted for the plans to remove privately-owned diesel cars from the city centre between 7am and 3pm each day." says Chris Lilly for Next Green Car: "The proposed scheme still needs government approval, but is set to start in 2021. Any diesel vehicles entering the zone within that time will incur a fine. Vehicles such as those used by the emergency services will be exempt from penalties, while commercial vehicles will have to pay to enter the area. Number plate recognition systems will be used to enforce the system, though details of how much fines are set to be are yet to be decided. Should the zone come into force in 2021, it is expected that air pollution levels will drop to compliant levels by 2025."   https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8785/diesel-ban-for-bristol-approved/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   What do you prefer, the carrot or the stick?

Ich habe mir Matthias Schmidt von Sense Healing geschnappt und versucht, mich im direkten Gespräch mit einem männlichen Gegenüber mal dem Thema "Feminismus" zu nähern. Zweifelsohne ein heisses Eisen und natürlich passt so ein großes Thema nicht wirklich in 45 Minuten, aber wir sollten alle mehr darüber reden!

Show #528   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 14th July 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.             Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   We have another PRODUCER of the podcast to join the gang it’s CRAIG VLADIMIROVS   HYUNDAI KIA BUILDS NATIONWIDE CHARGING NETWORK IN SOUTH KOREA "Hyundai Motor Group (Hyundai and Kia) decided to prepare the ultra-fast charging network for upcoming new models in South Korea." says InsideEVs: "Through investment of 10 billion won ($8.5 million) Hyundai-Kia intends to install roughly 100 DC fast chargers rated for 350 kW in 20-30 locations. The South Korean media reports that the network reminds it of Tesla Supercharging, although Hyundai-Kia will keep the chargers open to all other models compatible with the CCS Combo 1 inlet."   https://insideevs.com/news/359565/hyundai-kia-nationwide-charging-network-south-korea/   NO COMPANY CAR TAX ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES, SAYS UK GOVERNMENT In the UK: "The Government says that company car drivers choosing a pure electric vehicle will pay no benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax in 2020/21." reports FleetNews.co.uk: "for a pure electric vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions, company car drivers will be taxed at 0%, paying no BIK tax at all. Furthermore, the zero percentage rate is also extended to company car drivers in pure electric vehicles registered prior to April 6, 2020, who were already looking forward to a much reduced rate of 2% for 2020/21."   Let me explain BIK and why it's important.   Take a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus. The government put a value of £42,400 on it, which is the list price before incentives. The current BIK charge is 16%, so you take 16% of the list price of £6,784. Then you apply your tax band for your income tax, and you either pay 20% tax or 40% tax in England (Scotland slightly different).  Anyone earning over £50,000 pays 40% tax. So for those higher rate earners buying a Tesla Model 3, the individual had to pay 40% of £6,784, so £2,714. That for a Model 3, if you go to a Model 3 Long Range Performance, and chose that as your company car, an individual would be £6,307 a year. There are also additional costs for our National Insurance employer contributions.   https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/news/fleet-industry-news/2019/07/09/no-company-car-tax-on-electric-vehicles-says-government   TESLA TAKES 28% SHARE OF WESTERN EUROPE BEV MARKET IN H1 2019 "In the first half of the year, the Tesla Model 3 and Tesla brand took a solid first place in the Western Europe BEV market." according to Mark Kane at InsideEVs: "Since the introduction of the Model 3 in Europe, Tesla has become the top choice for those buying all-electric cars. Tesla's position is nowhere near the dominance seen in the U.S., but according to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de), in the first half of 2019, Tesla was the #1 BEV OEM with 44,900 new registrations and 28% market share in Western Europe. 37,300 new registrations of the Model 3 allowed for an easy first place among all BEVs (and plug-ins in general)."   https://insideevs.com/news/359636/tesla-28-western-europe-bev-market-h1-2019/   SERES STOPS US LAUNCH OF ELECTRIC SUV SF5 "The Chinese EV startup Seres, formerly known as SF Motors, has fired 90 employees at its Silicon Valley base as well as officially putting off the US launch of their electric SUV SF5." says a report by Electrive: "An unnamed employee said that before the cuts, around 300 people worked at the factory and that cuts affect all areas of the business, and people have been let go from “sales, marketing, IT, HR, legal, operations, and design”. The company itself was not available for comment."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/07/12/seres-stops-us-launch-of-electric-suv-sf5/   HARLEY-DAVIDSON’S LIVEWIRE IS MORE ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE THAN I’LL EVER NEED Sean O'Kane for The Verge just said: "There’s not a lot I can tell you from the 20 minutes I spent riding Harley-Davidson’s first electric motorcycle this weekend at the Formula E race in Brooklyn, New York. One thing I can tell you, though, is it’s certainly more electric motorcycle than I’d ever need. Every time I turned on to one of the long straightaways of Formula E’s Brooklyn circuit, I raked the throttle and was greeted with giddying acceleration. What sets the LiveWire apart is that acceleration almost never quits. As 50, 60, 70 miles per hour ticked by on the small digital display between the handlebars, the motorcycle never let up. If there had been more room to run, I likely would have cracked 100 miles per hour before thinking about whether I really wanted to go that fast."   https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/14/20692388/harley-davidson-livewire-electric-motorcycle-test-drive   QUESTION OF THE WEEK First of all, props to Mikhail Grozovski who sent me a screenshot of him asking exactly this question on Twitter. He says: "You stole my question ;-)"   DAVID ALLEN The very fact that people are now asking this question demonstrates that EVs are making progress in becoming mainstream. The question doesn’t even occur to folks until they are presented with the contradictory situation of watching EV race cars hauled to a track by diesel/petrol trucks. Once the question is asked, pressure will then mount on the racing teams to replace fossil burning transport/support vehicles with EVs. Tesla ran into the same problem with its mobile service fleet, and is now phasing out the gas-powered vans with modified S/X vehicles. That said, this highlights the need for heavy electric vans, medium trucks, and of course, the Tesla semi.   Leszek Grzyl Yes,we should consider what we do while we promote EVs. We should be restricting our unnecessary journeys and consider travelling by trains if we need to. Train travel across Europe needs to by simplified so that we can get to Mediterranean from UK or North countries without flying. If popularity stints are designed to improve ev awareness and involve driving ev they should continue, as they will bring lower co2 emissions as a result.   RICH FOWLER Yes, these events are more important in terms of PR for EVs than the minimal detrimental effects they have on the environment in terms of CO2 emissions. I say this because these events are outliers. If these events were smack in the middle of the bell curve of EV activities, then I would say they should be restricted. But since they're uncommon, and therefore designed to attract attention to EVs, I think the harm they do can be considered an investment in getting more people interested in converting their middle of the curve day to day fossil gobblers into EVs. The only thing that could change my mind is the Fully Charged Live discussion on how tires are a fossil-based pollution nightmare. If these sorts of outlier activities generated significantly large amounts of tire-based pollution, then I might change my mind, but I'd have to see some data first.   RENE SCHNEIDER The main problem about fuel burnt is, that it was questioned in several news around the formula-e approximately like „the need 200 diesel trucks to carry ..., so it is only a pseudo event about energy saving.“   Really relevant is moving the public: The review of the Formula-e in Zurich 2018 states that 160’000 visitors came; 71% with public transport, which runs nearly with 100% electricity here in Switzerland. Moving 160’000 people around is the big number, not a few 100 trucks to carry goods.   Dafydd Cheung No doubt in my mind, that racing is a big advertising opportunity. The greater the number of people who are exposed to the idea of EVs, either as race vehicles or private/public transport the better. What is then also needed, are EV load carriers and that can tow, with a decent range. Only then will the EV racers be transported to venues by other EVs.   DAVID NYE Yes we should burn some fossil fuels where necessary for anything which actively promotes EV’s, as they have a long way to go to become the rule rather than the exception. The day will come when the vast majority of people drive sustainable vehicles running from clean power, but we still have a very long way to go to get there, and a lot of people with whom we need to get the message across with respect to EV’s and sustainable transport in general.     IAN SEAR EVs should be making as much noise (not literally) and doing as many fun stunts as possible to get a buzz going, I feel we are at the Gladwellian tipping point for EV technology with the mainstream media reporting quite a few positive EV news stories and the much criticised BBC having some very fair EV articles   DEREK LYON Anything that helps sell “the electric solution” is fair game.  Some people will only care about coolness, speed or economics,  (IE not saving the world.) What is great is “the electric solution” answers cool/fun & economics. People just don’t know that yet.  Showing off those qualities in a race & building overpowered e-cars is awesome and speeds acceptance.  Creating some sort of purity rules are short sighted and will slow electric adoption.     Send me your EV questions: hello@evnewsdaily or use social media.
