Att köpa bil är, jämte att köpa boende, ett av de största köpen vi gör. Det är många saker att tänka på, särskilt när saker man har tagit för sant inte är det. Som när vi var nära att köpa en begagnad bil, i tron att det är billigare och ekonomiskt smartare än att köpa en ny bil. Idag, 2021, är många gånger en ny bil på privatleasing betydligt bättre än att köpa en begagnad utifrån ett totalekonomiskt perspektiv. Den kan till och med vara billigare än ens gamla och befintliga bil(!?). Totalt ointuitivt och förmodligen en temporär felprissättning på marknaden (att utnyttja). Vår process för att köpa bil startade i somras, när vår Volvo V70 (2009) som vi haft i 10+ år, gick sönder. Vi började titta på nya bilar, begagnade bilar, elbilar, tjänstebilar och annat. Det var verkligen en djungel. Det mest fascinerande var dock hur känslomässig resan att köpa en ny bil blev. Det var många sena kvällar och till slut bestämde jag mig, nu köper vi en begagnad, 3-4 år gammal bil som gått 4500 mil. Dvs vi följer den klassiska privatekonomiska regeln för att göra det minst dåliga bilköpet. Ganska nöjd skriver jag det i den långa forumtråden, där man kan följa hela historien. Vårt nästa bilköp blir en begagnad V90 från 2018 som gått 4 000 mil för 370 000 SEK. Färdigt och klart tänker jag. Hela tråden i forumet: https://bit.ly/rtbilkop Bildspel: https://rikatillsammans.se/kopa-bil-och-myter-vid-bilkop Då kommer första kommentaren som lyder: "Om du ändå tittar i den prisklassen, då rekommenderar jag Audi E-tron, Mercedes EQC eller BMW iX3. Dessa borde på 3 år ge samma totalekonomi". Här blev det tilt och error i mitt huvud. Hur kan en helt ny bil - som är dubbelt så dyr - ge samma eller bättre totalekonomi? Jag förstod ingenting. Det ledde till en natt ner i kaninhålet kring bl.a. privatleasing. Något som jag haft mycket fördomar kring. Privatleasing, det är ju bara något man gör om man inte har råd. Ändå satt jag här och hur jag än vände och vred på det, så hade ni läsare rätt. Om man tog hänsyn till HELA totalekonomin, bränsle, försäkring, värdeminskning, service, reparation, skatt så blir den ointuitiva slutsatsen att: "Att köpa en ny bil var billigare och mer förmånligt än att köpa en begagnad". Sjukt! I avsnittet ger vi exempel på hur vi räknade och gjorde en enkel totalkostnadskalkyl (TCO)-kalkyl, insikter såsom att man borde passa på att sälja sin bensin/dieselbil innan fler inser samma sak som vi och att jag haft fördomar om bl.a. privatleasing. Även nästa vecka dyker vi ner i det här för att reda ut om det är för bra för att vara sant med elbilexperten Erik Naessen. Så, stay tuned. Många hälsningar, Jan och Caroline PS. Ja, det slutade med att vi (och flera i forumet) har köpt en ny bil. :-) Innehållsförteckning ===== 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:12 - Visste in att köpa ny bil var så laddat ämne 00:07:37 - Vår V70 gick sönder och fick bärgas 00:10:19 - En kravspecifikation för nästa bil 00:13:49 - Rationellt sett hade vi klarat oss utan bil 00:15:43 - Att köra en elbil är som att köra på moln 00:21:57 - Rena elbilstillverkare vågar göra annorlunda 00:25:29 - Tre saker driver kostnader i ens liv: bostad, bil och barn 00:31:45 - Visste inte att status var så viktigt 00:37:13 - Hårda ord från forumet 00:39:11 - Det rationella valet: Begagnad V90 00:41:16 - Tipset: börja göra en totalkostnadskalkyl (TCO-kalkyl) 00:46:50 - TCO-kalkyl inkluderar värdeminskning 00:52:17 - Felprissättning på bilmarknaden 00:56:35 - Ny bil billigare än begagnad - för bra för att vara sant? 01:01:00 - Hur kan privatleasing vara så förmånligt? 01:04:53 - Att blanda ihop resultat- och balansräkning 01:08:46 - Man låser sina pengar vid köp av bil 01:14:39 - TCO-kalkyl tips - Bestäm tidsperiod 01:24:12 - En realitycheck kring elbilar i Sverige 01:28:02 - Till slut stod det mellan Kia e-Niro och en Tesla 01:30:52 - Den långa leveranstiden avgjorde

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. 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. Today we have two new all electric BMW's to tell you about. BMW’s iX - 300 miles for $83,200"The German automaker has just announced that when it goes on sale early next year, the new EV’s suggested price tag will exceed $80,000. That puts the iX squarely in Tesla Model X territory and leaves open the possibility that it may dethrone Elon Musk’s falcon-winged EV as the luxury SUV of choice for consumers. It will also compete with the Audi E-tron, Jaguar I-Pace, and Mercedes EQC when it eventually hits dealerships in the first quarter of 2022." says The Verge: "According to BMW, the iX will start at $83,200 for the iX xDrive 50 when preorders for the SUV begin in the middle of the year. That sum will get you an electric all-wheel drive motor configuration capable of putting out 516 horsepower for a 0–62mph sprint in 4.6 seconds. BMW says the iX will have an estimated range of around 300 miles based on the EPA’s testing model.  BMW is planning a more powerful iX M60 model for the future, with over 600 horsepower and the first all-electric SUV from BMW M.  The BMW iX xDrive50’s fifth-generation eDrive platform uses a 400-volt battery pack with a gross energy content of 111.5kWh and a net energy content of 106.3kWh." "The iX is capable of charging at up to 200 kW via a DC fast charger, and BMW says it should be able to gain up to 90 miles of range in 10 minutes at top charging speed. Filling the battery from 10 to 80 percent should take fewer than 40 minutes on the same fast charger." according to Inverse: "BMW is also partnering with the EVgo charging network to see charger and account status in within the BMW mobile app and iX buyers will get $100 in EVgo charging credit." " The iX xDrive 40 with 240 kW output will be available in Germany at prices starting at 77,300 euros, the iX xDrive 50 with 385 kW starts at 98,000 euros. In the USA, prices start at $83,200 plus $995 Destination, while the UK prices start at £69,905 OTR. The US market launch will also take place in 2022, unlike the UK’s November launch." writes electrive.com: " The high-voltage storage system in the 40 has a net capacity of 71 kWh and a gross capacity of 76.6 kWh. What is interesting about the batteries, is that BMW not only states the maximum charging power (200 kW for the large battery and 150 kW for the small battery) but also publishes detailed charging curves." Larger battery average of 126kW from 10-80%, or 35 mins, and smaller battery average of 96kW 10-80% or 31mins. Max regen is 208kW and 164kW respectively. 5th generation power train technology. Top speed limited to 200km/h. Towing is 2,500kg, 250 more than a Model X.  https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/1/22462746/bmw-ix-suv-ev-price-specs https://www.inverse.com/innovation/bmw-ix-2022-electric-ev-suv-photos-video https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/02/bmw-ix-to-be-delivered-from-november/ BMW iX vs. Cadillac Lyriq, E-Tron, Mach-E and Model Y"All five vehicles utilize lithium-ion batteries in their floors, but everything beyond that is different. BMW's iX claims 300 miles of range from its 106.3 kWh (that's usable capacity, mind you) battery pack. At 100 kW, the Lyriq's battery capacity is large, though not the largest, but that curb weight comes home to roost in the Cadillac's estimated mileage, which GM figures is also roundabout 300 miles. Tesla, on the other hands, does more with less, its 75-kWh battery pack enabling a range of 326 miles in the Long Range variant -- being 1,200 pounds lighter has its benefits." writes CNET.com: "BMW's iX leaves all these other electric SUVs in the dust with a combined power output from its dual motors of 516 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque." https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/audi-function-on-demand-mmi-navigation-plus-subscription/ BMW i4 Summing up the importance of this car, engadget says: "As BMW's electrified 4 Series model, the i4 will be a linchpin for the company's electric future, running on the same eDrive EV platform as the iX. " "BMW i4 is the fully-electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, but it has rather good specs for an electric car built on repurposed ICE vehicle underpinnings. In the United States, the i4 electric hatchback will be sold in two distinct trims, as a lower-powered rear-wheel drive variant, and a more powerful all-wheel drive model." says InsideEVs: "the i4 eDrive 40, which gets a single 335 horsepower rear-mounted electrically excited synchronous motor whose peak torque is 317 pound-feet (430 Nm). It sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and its top speed is 118 mph (190 km/h).  This will be the longest-range i4, with an expected EPA range of around 300 miles on a single charge, and a starting price of $55,400. The more powerful i4 M50 will be the performance driver’s choice, with all-wheel drive and a combined power output of 536 horsepower. BMW claims it sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds and its top speed is higher than the eDrive 40’s, 140 mph (225 km/h). The EPA range that BMW is expecting this model to achieve is a more conservative 240 miles and its starting price is $65,900" On the heat pump BMW said: "At extremely low ambient temperatures, the heat pump is assisted by a pair of powerful continuous-flow heaters offering 9 kW of heating power each. This ensures that thermal comfort on a par with conventionally powered BMW models can be provided very efficiently in any situation. The latest version of the heat pump makes use of ambient heat and heat from dehumidification – as well as the waste heat from the motors – for energy-efficient operation." "Instead of BMW’s current driver’s display and iDrive screen setup, BMW has now combined both into on giant panel, with two separate digital screens built in. The driver’s display looks similar to the gauges you’ll see in any other current Bimmer but it features more futuristic graphics, a bit more customization, and a cleaner design. While the new iDrive system is a complete overhaul, featuring an entirely new UI, added functionality, fantastic looking graphics, and a revised menu system." according to BMWblog: "BMW added Apple and Google Maps to the head-up display.  The hatchback is a feature that all 4 Series Gran Coupe customers love and one of the main reasons they choose it over the 3 Series.  Both cars get an 81.5 kWh net-energy battery pack (f 83.9 kWh gross) that’s as sustainable as absolutely possible. The high-voltage battery in the i4 is comprised of four modules with 72 cells each and three 12-cell modules. The i4 can charge at up to 200 kW, with a compatible DC fast charger. At that speed, the BMW i4 40 can recharge 102 miles of range in just ten minutes"Also: dynamic air suspension, 18-20" wheels, acoustic glazing, Harmon Kardon sound with 16 speakers, autonomous LKA up to 125mph.https://insideevs.com/news/511281/bmw-i4-us-priced-detailed/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articleshttps://www.engadget.com/bmw-i4-q1-2022-with-up-to-300-miles-range-101537012.htmlBMW i4 Prototype Drive"Mid-size saloons are where BMW’s customer base has resided traditionally, so the fully-electric i4 has the chance to attract a significant proportion of the marque’s buyers to zero-emission motoring. In the M50 variant, one thing is immediately clear: this is an EV made for keen drivers. The i4 appeals with astonishing steering precision and smooth handling, and despite the two-tonne weight there’s relatively little body roll. The ultra-low centre of gravity comes into play here; it’s actually 53mm lower than in the 3 Series." says AutoExpress: "The entire underside of the car is faired in for maximum aerodynamic efficiency, and since there’s no exhaust to deal with, the large diffuser makes use of all of the rear bumper space it can."electrive notes UK pricing: "BMW also named the prices for the two variants of the i4. The i4 eDrive 40 will be listed at prices starting at £51,905 OTR. As the vehicle costs more than the £35,000 maximum eligibility for the plug-in car grant, this means i4 drivers in the UK will have to do without the government grant. The i4 M50 will start at £63,905, while the market launch for both versions of the i4 will begin in November 2021." In the U.S. it starting at $56,395 (including destination charges) for the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 models and $66,895 for the more powerful AWD M50.Also, U.S. federal tax credit.https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/02/bmw-i4-to-launch-with-two-variants/BMW i4 vs Tesla Model 3"The i4’s dimensions, as we noted previously, are remarkably close to the Model 3 in every direction. It is 188.3 inches long, 72.9 inches wide, and 57.0 inches high with a wheelbase of 112.8 inches. The Model 3 is shorter at 184.8 inches, but its width (72.8 inches), height (56.8 inches), and wheelbase (113.2 inches) are all within half an inch of the new BMW. The i4 looks noticeably longer than the Model 3, in part due to its sleeker styling versus the Model 3’s bubble-shaped greenhouse even if the two are very close in height. " reports Brian Wong from Green Car Reports: "I only had a chance to play with the setup for a few minutes, but it felt ready for primetime. Responses were instantaneous, the menu structure is intuitive, and it’s fair to assume it will carry over some of iDrive 7’s most useful features, like wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and a voice command assistant that is actually helpful. Whether or not you prefer this more traditional look and feel compared to the Model 3’s single screen, highly minimalistic approach is a matter of personal preference. " 0-60mph, MOdel 3 Perf is 3.1 vs 3.9 sec here. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1132451_2022-bmw-i4-up-close-how-does-it-size-up-vs-model-3BMW i4 vs. Kia EV6, Polestar 2 and Tesla Model 3CNET has also done one of their comparisons here too: "Every i4 will use an 83.9-kilowatt-hour battery. Official range figures aren't yet available, but BMW estimates the i4 M50 will have an EPA rating of 245 miles (the single-motor i4 eDrive40 should do a bit better, around 300 miles). Kia doesn't have EV6 GT range estimates right now, and the M50 is expected to last a little longer than the 232-mile Polestar 2. The Tesla Model 3 Performance, meanwhile, is EPA-rated at 315 miles. Real quick, a note about charging. The Kia EV6 has a major advantage by way of its 800-volt architecture. Kia says the EV6 can take in about 70 miles' worth of range in about 5 minutes, which is seriously impressive. BMW, meanwhile, maxes out at 90 miles' worth of range in about 30 minutes."https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/2022-bmw-i4-kia-ev6-polestar-2-tesla-model-3-spec-comparison/QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COMWhat kind of charging do you think workplaces should have?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/

Denholm applauded the NZ Climate Change Commission proposal on clean car standards to target a reduction in average vehicle emissions to 105 grams per kilometer by 2025, down from its current average emissions of around 171g/km."   https://thedriven.io/2021/04/08/teslas-denholm-laments-dirty-car-fleets-in-nz-and-australia-and-pollution-death-toll/   TESLA CRITICIZES SLOW APPROVAL PROCESS FOR GERMAN FACTORY "Tesla Inc. has criticized German bureaucracy and the slow final approval process for its nearly completed factory just outside of Berlin. The U.S. automaker's first European car plant is scheduled to open in Gruenheide, Brandenburg, this summer. Tesla said it was "irritating" that 16 months following submission of its approval application, there is still no timetable for issuing a final permit, which is handled by the Brandenburg state’s environmental office." write Automotive News: "A Tesla statement, seen by the German Press Association, said the automaker wants to see a "fast track" process for environmentally friendly industrial and transportation projects, arguing the production of electric cars offsets the environment impact made by building the factory. The statement said the "most glaring problem" is that current procedures and laws treat projects that combat climate change and those that accelerate it as the same. The final approval needed from the state of Brandenburg to bring the factory online has been repeatedly delayed, most recently in March, when the deadline passed with no explanation."   https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/tesla-criticizes-slow-approval-process-german-factory?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter   NORWAY ACHIEVED 85% EV SHARE LAST MONTH "Norway bought 8,624 new electric passenger cars in March 2021. Besides, there were 4,379 new plug-in hybrids. Norway’s most successful model across all drive types last month was the Tesla Model 3, with 2,169 new registrations." says electrive: "The electric car market share was 56 per cent in March. PHEVs had a market share of 28.6 per cent last month. The market share of pure combustion vehicles was 9.5 per cent, dropping into the single-digit percentage range for the first time. The rest of the top ten shows the strong role of BEVs: the VW ID.4 is already in third place with 856 units, followed by the Volvo XC40 with 791 vehicles (the Norwegian statistics do not differentiate here between the combustion engine, PHEV and BEV versions). The Nissan Leaf (637 units), Mercedes EQC (589 new registrations) and Audi e-tron (430 cars)"   https://www.electrive.com/2021/04/07/norway-registers-84-8-marketshare-of-plug-in-cars-in-march/   ID.4 TRIMS EXPANDED IN UK Following the introduction of the special First Edition, Volkswagen is today opening the order books for series-production versions of the new ID.4 electric SUV in the UK. The Volkswagen ID.4 Pro Performance will be available in Life, Family and Max specifications, starting at £41,570 RRP OTR and offering up to 323 miles range (WLTP combined). The three models are fitted with the same Pro Performance powertrain as the First Edition featuring a 77 kWh battery (net capacity) and 204 PS / 310 Nm electric motor. This powertrain underpins the ID.4 line-up, with the ID.4 Life Pro Performance predicted to be the top-selling version of the zero-emission SUV. The Pure models with a 52 kWh battery capacity will go on sale in the coming months. All three specifications support 125 kW rapid charging, which allows up to 199 miles of range in 30 minutes of charging.   ID.4 ARRIVES WITH TEARDOWN SPECIALIST SANDY MUNRO "The Volkswagen ID.4 is about to be analyzed by a man who has made a career out of tearing down and studying every little detail of vehicles from the world’s largest automakers. After his teardown of the Tesla Model 3 and the Model Y, Munro is now about to conduct a partial teardown of the Volkswagen ID.4, the first of the German automaker’s new breed of electric cars that are coming to the United States. " reports Teslarati: "The teardown expert also pointed out some of the ID.4’s rather questionable parts, such as its “Engine Start” button, which Munro noted is unnecessary and only adds cost to the all-electric crossover.  Also notable were Munro’s first impressions of the ID.4’s infotainment system, which he noted was less intuitive compared to the Model 3 and Model Y’s center touchscreen. That said, the auto veteran did note that for car buyers who are just transitioning from internal combustion cars to into electric vehicles, the ID. 4’s features and infotainment system would be just fine."   Sandy Munro: “I’m sure this would have been more intuitive for me before I was driving a Tesla. Now, it seems kind of awkward because almost everything on the Tesla’s right here, and you can get into the touchscreen much faster”   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-vs-vw-id4-sandy-munro-first-impressions-video/     NISSAN: 70% OF EUROPEAN DRIVERS WOULD CONSIDER EV "When asked if they would consider buying an electric vehicle as their next car, 70%1 of European drivers say they would. The most popular reason for drivers considering the change is the environmental benefits offered by a zero-emissions vehicle (49%1)." reports Automotive World: "The pan-European survey is Nissan’s most comprehensive investigation into the driving habits and charging experience of EV drivers to date. Dispelling many of the myths currently preventing drivers from making the switch, the research demonstrates there are good reasons to change to an EV. Nissan surveyed 7,000 motorists across Europe, split evenly between EV and ICE (internal combustion engine) motorists. Initial findings released today, uncovered that EV driver satisfaction is promisingly high, with 89%1 of EV drivers saying the switch to EV was the right decision. 74%1 feel more relaxed and 77%1 find it smoother to drive than an ICE vehicle."   https://www.automotiveworld.com/news-releases/tipping-point-70-of-european-drivers-would-consider-an-electric-vehicle-as-their-next-car/   RENAULT TO DEBUT NEW SMALL ELECTRIC SUV "Renault will finally step into the electric SUV segment with their very own proposal that’s expected to be unveiled before the end of 2020. Following hot on the heels of the latest Zoe, as well as the City K-ZE (pictured here) that will arrive in Europe rebadged as a Dacia, this as of yet unnamed model is said to be based on the new CMF-EV platform that debuted in the Morphoz Concept, at the 2020 Geneva Motor Show, reports LArgus." says CarScoops: "Known internally as the BCB, it’s believed to be slightly bigger than the electric supermini, slotting just under the new Captur in terms of size."   https://www.carscoops.com/2020/04/renault-to-debut-new-small-electric-suv-for-europe-this-year-says-report/   CHARGEPOINT COOPERATES WITH TRUCK STOP CHAINS "Charging network ChargePoint and NATSO, a national trade association representing the truck stop and travel plaza industry, have announced significant progress in the first year of the National Highway Charging Collaborative, an initiative that plans to leverage $1 billion in public and private capital to deploy charging at more than 4,000 travel plazas and fuel stops serving highway travelers and rural communities nationwide by 2030." says ChargedEVs: "In its first year, the public-private collaborative funded more than 150 DC fast charging spots in at least eight states, including California, Florida, Iowa, Missouri and Washington. "   https://chargedevs.com/newswire/chargepoint-cooperates-with-truck-stop-chains-to-deploy-public-charging-across-the-us/   OCTOPUS EV PROMOTES SALARY SACRIFICE "Energy provider Octopus has launched a new leasing service – Electric Dreams – offering 100% electric car salary sacrifice schemes, to save employees thousands as they switch to clean green driving." writes Stephen at DriveEV.net: "Similar to the popular cycle-to-work scheme, employers can give their staff a highly valuable benefit that is also good for the planet. Drivers already signed up are saving an average of £14,445 over three years, by sacrificing some pre-tax salary in return for a brand new electric car."   https://driveev.net/2021/04/07/octopus-launches-electric-dreams-an-ev-leasing-company-unlocking-salary-sacrifice-for-businesses/   EV CHALLENGE TO DRIVE POLE TO POLE "British adventurer and Guinness World Record holder Chris Ramsey will become the first person to drive from Pole to Pole in a bid to raise awareness of climate change and the role that electric cars can play in reducing our carbon footprint." says The Herald in Scotland: "This will be the first time that any vehicle has driven from the South Pole to the magnetic North Pole, and Ramsey believes it is the ideal way to highlight just what electric vehicles are capable of – even in the most extreme climates. After nearly four years of planning, the Pole to Pole Expedition is scheduled to start in late 2022, covering 17,000 miles across 14 countries as the team make their way from the South Pole to the finish line at magnetic North."   https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/19214687.ramsey-will-become-first-person-drive-pole-pole/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   What EV do you want to see your favourite car maker launch which they haven’t already?     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.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

Show #784   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 20th May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   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.   AUDI E-TRON S POSSIBLY SPIED TESTING AT THE NURBURGRING "A new spy video shot at the Nürburgring shows what may very well be the E-Tron electric SUV in the hotter specification.  While we can’t be entirely sure this is indeed the high-performance version, this would make the most sense since it’s too early for Audi’s Mercedes EQC-rival to start preparing for a mid-cycle update." says Quattrodaily: "Of course, the biggest change has occurred underneath the familiar skin where Audi has added a third electric motor. Mounted at the back, it helps the E-Tron S models hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in four and a half seconds."   2021 AUDI E-TRON GT SPIED AT PORSCHE'S DEVELOPMENT CENTRE "You won’t need a crystal ball to figure out what the swirly camouflage is hiding since the E-Tron GT production model will remain faithful to the concept before it. Audi will be making some changes for the road-going car as the prototypes have conventional door handles and larger side mirrors. The front fascia might eschew the concept’s intricate grille design for something less flashy, but that’s about it." says Motor1.com: "Technical specifications should be quite similar to those of the Taycan, but we’re expecting Ingolstadt’s electric sedan to be a tad cheaper and possibly start at under $100,000. It remains to be seen whether Audi will follow Porsche’s approach by prioritizing the high-end versions before coming out with the lesser models. An official premiere is scheduled to take place towards the end of the year ahead and customer deliveries should commence early 2021. It will compete not just with its sister model from Stuttgart, but also the next-generation Jaguar XJ and the first-ever Mercedes EQS, not to mention the Tesla Model S."   https://www.motor1.com/photo/4998524/2021-audi-e-tron-gt-spy-photo/   LIGHTYEAR INKS DEAL FOR PRODUCTION OF LONG-RANGE EV'S SOLAR ROOF "Dutch startup Lightyear has secured a supplier for its long-range electric car's solar roof. Royal DSM will partner with Lightyear to scale up production of the roof system. The two companies will also look into solar-roof applications for other cars, as well as vans and buses, Lightyear said in a press release" according to Green Car Reports: "The roof consists of 53 square feet of solar cells protected by double-curved safety glass. Royal DSM will supply a back sheet that moves electrical connections behind the cells, freeing up more space for capturing sunlight. This will also reduce electrical losses, leading to a 3% gain in power output over other designs, the company claims. Lightyear was founded by members of a winning World Solar Challenge team, with the goal of applying solar technology to production electric cars. The Lightyear One electric car is aiming for 450 miles of range on the European WLTP cycle (which tends to be more optimistic than the U.S. EPA testing cycle). While the car does have a battery pack, as well as aerodynamic bodywork, it is designed to rely heavily on the solar roof to achieve that range."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128169_lightyear-inks-deal-for-production-of-long-range-ev-s-solar-roof   MUSK ANNOUNCES TESLA'S FULL SELF-DRIVING WILL COST $1000 MORE IN JULY "Tesla is raising the price of its "self-driving" option on its electric vehicles worldwide starting with a $1,000 (£820) hike. Founder Elon Musk tweeted that the price "will continue to rise" as its technology improves." according to BBC News: "The self-driving add-on will cost $8,000 when the price rise kicks in on 1 July."   Elon tweeted: ""The FSD price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval," Mr Musk said in a series of tweets on Monday. "[At] that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.""   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52703767   PAST PEAK OIL? INDUSTRY HIT BY WEAK DEMAND FINALLY FACES THREAT FROM ELECTRIC CARS "Oil companies may be facing uncertainty as the coronavirus pandemic triggers a collapse in demand for their products, but automakers are betting the crisis will help accelerate an electric future. With economies reeling from lockdowns to curb the virus, the sharpest plunge in oil prices in two decades has slashed the cost of filling up a tank of gas, eroding some of the incentive to make the switch to cleaner fuels."  writes Autoblog: "Looking ahead, cuts in capital spending forced upon energy companies as their revenues crumble could tighten supply enough to cause a spike in oil prices, making electric vehicles more attractive just as automakers ramp up production, analysts say.With fuel for road transport accounting for about half of all oil demand, the possibility of a faster-than-expected switch to EVs in the wake of the pandemic is one of the main reasons some forecasts for a peak have been brought forward. Global oil demand hit a record of just over 100 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2019."   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/19/peak-oil-demand-wanes-electric-vehicles-rise/   RENAULT-NISSAN-MITSUBISHI TO UNVEIL STRATEGIC PLAN "Automakers Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi may unveil next week a new strategic plan to boost synergies and repair their troubled alliance as the coronavirus pandemic lashes the industry." according to the Economic Times. While Automotive NEws thinks that Nissan could be slowly backing out of Europe: "Europe accounts for only about one-tenth of Nissan's global business by volume and has "little prospects for growth and profitability," as one insider put it. Under the new working relationship with Renault, Nissan would take the lead in Europe on crossovers and SUVs, which the sources said would be available in gasoline engine, hybrid and full-electric versions. It would operate as a "follower" in commercial vans and small city cars, using versions of vehicles produced by Renault. The arrangement would allow the two partners to share technologies and manufacturing capacity, while keeping advanced technology and product development separate from each other to "keep our design, engineering and brands distinctive from each other," one of the sources said. However, the company is keen to maintain a presence in the region, albeit a reduced one."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/nissans-survival-plan-europe-suvs-and-sharing-renault   NEW STANDARDS RELEASED FOR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES "China released mandatory safety regulations related to electric vehicles, batteries and electric buses on Tuesday, which analysts say will help improve the industry's manufacturing standards and relieve customer safety concerns." reports China Daily: "They emphasize the electrical safety and functional safety requirements and increase the requirements for thermal event alarm signaling in battery systems, which should provide drivers and passengers with adequate safety warnings. The standards also put higher requirements on battery safety, and emphasize an improvement in battery system tests covering thermal diffusion, external fire, mechanical shock, simulated collision and humidity cycling, external short circuit, and overheating. It specifies batteries must be able to withstand at least five minutes of overheating without causing a fire or explosion, allowing drivers and passengers sufficient time to get out of the vehicle."   https://global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202005/18/WS5ec1e22aa310a8b241156558.html   UK’S FIRST CAR BATTERY ‘GIGAFACTORY’ TO BE BUILT BY TWO STARTUPS "Two British startups have announced plans to invest as much as £4bn in building the UK’s first large-scale battery factory, in a move that could prove a major boost to the country’s struggling car industry." writes The Guardian today: "AMTE Power and Britishvolt have signed a memorandum of understanding saying they will work together on plans for a plant to make lithium ion batteries.  Lars Carlstrom, the chief executive of Britishvolt, said the companies had an ambition to build facilities producing batteries with capacity of as much as 30 gigawatt hours (GWh) a year, which would be roughly equivalent to the joint Tesla-Panasonic Gigafactory in Nevada. A factory of that size would create as many as 4,000 jobs, he said. The government-backed Faraday Institution estimates 130 GWh of annual capacity will be required by 2040 if the UK is to retain a large automotive sector."   https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/may/20/uk-first-car-battery-gigafactory-amte-power-britishvolt?CMP=share_btn_tw   XPENG'S P7 LIGHTS UP THE NIGHT WITH A SYNCHRONIZED MUSIC & LIGHT SHOW "Xpeng Motors has already begun taking orders for their highly anticipated long-range sports sedan, the P7. With customer deliveries set to begin in June, Xpeng is showing off a special feature that the P7 will have; a synchronized light and music show." writers TOm Moloughney for InsideEVs: "The P7 has a strip of LED lights that extend across the entire front of the vehicle. Using those LEDs, as well as the lower driving lights, the vehicle performs a virtual "dance", similar to the Tesla Model X's light show. Initially, when P7 deliveries begin next month, the vehicle will come with a couple of simple lighting modes. However, Xpeng is going to use OTA updates to add more complex songs and light shows for the owners to select from"   https://insideevs.com/news/423962/xpeng-p7-programmable-light-show/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   Should Dyson have continued to make a £150,000 EV, or should we only make EVs realistic?

JUST REMEMBER - RESISTANCE MIGHT USE ENERGY BUT MIGHT ALSO PRODUCE NEW POWER. Many people face resistance, push back, struggle at different stages of their life and success journey. This resistance may look like an attack on character, assault on relationships, aggravation from past mistakes, accusations against accomplishments, argument assailing education. Whatever form resistance takes, the objective of resistance is not always clear. The agenda of the person or persons bringing the resistance may seem obvious, but outside forces, the universe, God, however you choose to say it - always has a better plan. What you are experiencing in the way of resistance RIGHT NOW can become energy converted to power not just energies lost. Shift your focus! Stop allowing the resistance to drain you. Allow it to make you stronger. Don't allow resistance to dampen your passion. Allow it to set you on fire in a new way. Don't let resistance tell you you are not good enough! Convert the resistance you are facing into a new level of power! Like the new Mercedes EQC.

Tesla's market value surpassed VW's for the first time this week, even as the U.S. company sells a fraction of the cars VW produces and has yet to record an annual profit.Diess last week called on his top managers to speed up overhaul efforts to make the company more agile or risk being pushed aside."   He said: ""It's an open race. The company which adopts fastest and is most innovative but also which has enough scale in the new world will make the race. 2020 for the auto industry will be a very difficult year, But we're doing the right things to be competitive."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vw-ceo-says-race-tesla   THE UK NOW HAS 30,000 EV CHARGING CONNECTORS "The United Kingdom‘s electric vehicle charging network continues to grow. There are now more than 30,000 EV charging connectors located across the nation, according to a tweet from UK-based online vehicle charging point locator Zap-Map." says The Next Web: "As of today, there are now 30,140 connectors spread across 10,753 locations, listed on Zap-Map.

There does appear to be a catch: Tesla buyers will have to have their vehicles titled in another state and then transferred to Michigan. Furthermore, the vehicles will be serviced and sold by a Tesla subsidiary. Tesla hasn't been completely absent from Michigan, home to America's Big Three automakers. In the Detroit suburb of Troy, there's a so-called "gallery" Tesla store at a local mall. Anyone can walk in and look around, but employees are forbidden from discussing pricing, leasing, or any other sales-related topics."   https://carbuzz.com/news/tesla-finally-declares-victory-over-terrible-law   AUDI SHOWCASES MOBILE EV CHARGING FACILITY AT WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM "Audi has provided the mobility and charging stations solutions at the World Economic Forum in Davos and 90 per cent of the shuttle fleet were electrified models, claims the company." reported by Economic Times: "The auto company used mobile charging containers made with used Audi e-tron batteries, specially developed for the purpose. It claims using roughly 100 electrified Audi models in combination with the shipping containers for charging allowed the company to operate a virtually CO2-neutral shuttle fleet for the Davos event. Audi claims that it has plans to use the mobile charging stations in 20 further cases in 2020 alone, with one being the Formula E in Rome."   https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/cars/audi-showcases-mobile-ev-charging-facility-at-world-economic-forum/73581670   UBER LANDS ELECTRIC CAR DEAL WITH NISSAN "Uber will offer drivers in the U.K. electric cars from Nissan at a discount, the company said Friday, as it faces a potential ban in London."n according to CNBC: "The ride-hailing operator has signed an agreement with Nissan to introduce a fleet of 2,000 of the Japanese automaker's Leaf hatchbacks for drivers using its app in Britain. While the deal is technically open to all U.K. drivers, it's primarily targeted at those working in London.The deal with Nissan arrives at a difficult time for the company, which faces being blocked in the U.K.'s capital after Transport for London (TfL) stripped it of its license. Uber has since appealed the move, and can continue operating in the city while it fights the ban in the courts."   https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/01/23/uber-signs-electric-car-deal-with-nissan-in-uk-as-it-fights-london-ban.html   DAIMLER TO BUILD 50,000 MERCEDES EQC MODELS THIS YEAR "Daimler on Thursday said it plans to build 50,000 Mercedes EQC electric cars this year, denying a report in Manager Magazin which claimed it had been forced to pare back its 2020 production targets due to battery supply problems." says Reuters today: "Manager Magazin said Mercedes had slashed its production target to 30,000 from about 60,000 because of a shortage of battery cells from LG Chem. A Daimler spokesman said its production plans for 2020 had not been amended. Daimler’s works council chief Michael Brecht told Manager Magazin that one of the reasons the company is struggling to meet battery demand is because Tesla bought Grohmann Engineering, a battery automation specialist hired by Mercedes-Benz to build up its own battery manufacturing capacity. This caused problems for Daimler which was in the midst of ramping up production at its electric vehicle battery production unit Deutsche Accumotive."   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-daimler-electric-eqc/mercedes-halves-ev-production-target-due-to-battery-shortage-manager-magazin-idUSKBN1ZM1SA     NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   With increasing attacks on EVs and vandalism caught on camera, why do some people have a problem with EVs?     I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 230 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.

CRISI! La Mercedes EQC vende meno di una fava fritta!

Immer diese Jahresrückblicke schon Anfang Dezember, dachten sich die Kollegen aus Büro 408, Jens Dralle und Sebastian Renz, und dass es da auf einen Weiteren auch nicht mehr ankommt. Also schauen die beiden in Übersteuern, dem auto motor und sport-Podcast über die Begeisterung am Auto, mal auf dieses Jahr zurück. Und dabei natürlich vor allem auf die neuen Autos, die sie gefahren und getestet haben: von VW T-Cross bis Mercedes EQC, von Kia XCeed bis Ferrari F8 Tributo, von Porsche 911 bis VW T6.1. Selbstverständlich darf ein ganz neues Auto nicht fehlen: Der VW Golf VIII. Schließlich krönen beide auch ihre Helden des Jahres 2019. Dazu gibt es einen Ausblick auf all das, was uns nächstes Jahr bewegen wird und, nun: das größte Rennen aller Zeiten. Wie das wohl ausgeht? Na, reinhören!

De zak van Sinterklaas zat weer vol met interessante technologienieuwtjes! KBC gaf zijn app een grondige update, de PlayStation werd 25 jaar, Google krijgt een nieuwe baas en Netflix krijgt er nog wat concurrentie bij.[...]

Für Spannung ist ja eigentlich immer gesorgt bei Übersteuern, dem auto motor und sport Podcast über die Leidenschaft fürs Auto. Doch dieses Mal geht es um Hochspannung – 300 oder gar 800 Volt. Denn Jens Dralle und Sebastian Renz erklären den aktuellen Stand der Elektromobilität, woher sie kommt und wohin das alles führen wird. Ein paar Widerstände gilt es da schon noch zu überwinden. Selbst bei ganz neuen Modellen, von denen nun die Rede ist und mit denen beide schon unterwegs waren: Mercedes EQC, Audi etron und natürlich auch dem Hyundai Kona Elektro oder einer Auswahl an Tesla-Modellen. Also mal reinhören und erfahren, wer Watt kann.

As new EVs, like the Porsche Taycan, Jaguar iPace, and Mercedes EQC, with bigger batteries capable of handling more power hit the market, at GreenWay we’ve been busily increasing the amount of power at a number of our 50kW charging stations to 100 and 150 kW. Hear directly from the heads of R&D and Asset Management about this experience, the challenges, and the lessons learned. And, an interview with Elias Pyory from Virta about their cloud based energy management system. It’s all about power and power management as we build towards installing our first Ultrafast charging stations and learn lots of things along the way.

Show #525   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 11th 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.   TESLA READY TO INCREASE PRODUCTION AT FREMONT FACTORY "An internal email to employees dated July 9 from Jerome Guillen, President of Automotive at Tesla, said the company is “making preparations” to raise output at its factory in Fremont, California" reports CleanTechnica: "“While we can’t be too specific in this email, I know you will be delighted with the upcoming developments,” Guillen said, according to a report by Bloomberg, which claims to have seen a copy of the email. The email went on to say the company has “hit new records in all production lines for output and efficiency” in the most recent quarter, both in Fremont and in Nevada, and that “quality is also reaching record highs.”"   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/07/10/tesla-ready-to-increase-production-at-fremont-factory/   TESLA MODEL 3 WINS 2019 AUTO EXPRESS CAR OF THE YEAR AWARD "The Auto Express Car of the Year for 2019 is the all-electric Tesla Model 3" says the publication Auto Express: "Performance and range are brilliant, and our tests prove that Tesla’s claimed numbers when it comes to how far you can go on a charge are accurate. True, although you might only fill up your petrol or diesel junior executive saloon every 500 miles or so, the Model 3 Performance has up to 329 miles of range. Most people won’t exceed this in a single day’s driving, and simply charging the car overnight will replenish that entire range for the next day. Even keen drivers will be able to scratch away at the surface to reveal the seed of a personality in the car; that’s a big step for an electric vehicle that, until now, few have achieved."   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/tesla/model-3/107363/car-of-the-year-2019-tesla-model-3   TESLA MODEL 3 IN NORTH AMERICA FINALLY CAN USE CHADEMO ADAPTE "Tesla Model 3 drivers in North America can now use more than 3,200 CHAdeMO chargers if equipped with a CHAdeMO adapter." reports Mark for InsideEVs: "It took some time but with the 2019.24.1 firmware update, Tesla Model 3 finally can use the CHAdeMO adapter in North America. The Model 3 has been available in the U.S. since mid-2017, but for the first two years, the Model 3 wasn't able to use CHAdeMO adapters, which have been available for Model S and Model X for years. The only way to DC fast charge was to use Superchargers."   https://insideevs.com/news/359101/tesla-model-3-chademo-adapter/   ZF TO SUPPLY DRIVE COMPONENTS FOR MERCEDES’ EQC ZF has announced it is supplying Daimler with large parts of the drive system for the Mercedes EQC. Electrive says: "ZF supplies the complete driveline module. In addition to the engine, this includes the rigid transmission (a single-speed transmission) and also the power electronics including the control software – each for the front and rear axle, since the EQC has two engines. The components are manufactured at the ZF plant in Schweinfurt."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/07/10/zf-to-supply-drive-components-for-mercedes-eqc/   VOLKSWAGEN TEASES ID.3 DASHBOARD "Volkswagen is gradually revealing the upcoming all-electric ID.3 hatchback, the first model based on the MEB platform. In one of the latest video teasers, the German manufacturer shows the dashboard, wheel and central infotainment display."   https://insideevs.com/news/359140/video-vw-tease-id3-dashboard/   PRE-SERIES PRODUCTION OF VW’S ID.3 HAS TAKEN OFF "The VW ID.3 pre-series production is rolling at the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau. This also affects the Volkswagen Group Components division. VW has now published where the individual plants of the unit manufacture their parts for the ID.3. electric car." reports Electrive: "Production of the pre-series drives has already started successfully, and in future, up to 500,000 units per year will leave the plant.he Wolfsburg company cannot afford a slip-up. This is probably one of the reasons why VW is already ramping up pre-series production of the flagship electric car destined for a mass-market, even though the first vehicles will not be delivered until mid-2020."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/07/10/pre-series-production-of-vws-id-3-has-taken-off/   THE WONDERFUL MINI ROCKETMAN CONCEPT WILL ACTUALLY BECOME REAL, AND ELECTRIC "in 2011 Mini showed their Rocketman concept, which was tiny and clever and exciting and felt like something that really captured the spirit of the original Mini. Then they forgot all about it. Until now! Yes, the Rocketman is set to become reality, as an electric car, in China." according to Jalopnik: "According to Autocar UK, the Rocketman EV will share a basic platform and electric drivetrain components with the Great Wall-built Ora R1 electric car, which is notable for being one of the cheapest real (as in not a low-speed neighborhood EV thing) electric car sold, coming in at about $8,680."   https://jalopnik.com/the-wonderful-mini-rocketman-concept-will-actually-beco-1836243520   LG CHEM TO INCREASE BATTERY SALES FIVEFOLD BY 2024 "Electric car battery sales will become the biggest part of LG Chem's business with a share of around 50% and revenues of $26.7 billion. LG Chem announced a new plan for the next five years by 2024, which envisions doubling the sales from around 28.2 trillion KRW ($24 billion) to 59.5 trillion KRW (over $50 billion)." says InsideEVs today: "LG Chem says also that the Battery Business Division "will continue its leadership in the automotive battery business by maintaining its overwhelming technological advantage in the third-generation electric vehicle (500 km or more)"."   MILAN AWARDS SOLARIS CONTRACT FOR UP TO 250 ELECTRIC BUSES "The Milan, Italy carrier ATM Milano intends to phase out diesel buses by 2030. An essential milestone on this path was the launch of a tender for the supply of up to 250 electric buses with a total value of up to €192 million. ATM Milano has selected Solaris as the supplier. The delivery of the first batch of 40 buses is to begin in June 2020." says Green Car Congress: "The 12-meter Urbino electric will be equipped with batteries of the Solaris High Energy type with a total capacity of more than 240 kWh. The electric power in those batteries will be recharged by means of an inverted pantograph—i.e. a device lowered from the charging pole to the vehicle roof, and a classic plug-in device in the bus depot. The drive unit will consist of an electric axle with two integrated electric engines of 110 kW each."   https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/07/20190710-solaris.html     Send me your EV questions: hello@evnewsdaily or use social media.

Another leaked Elon email, is Summon REALLY gonna be enhanced and LOTS of GFY candidates Kevin's long email:To Whom It May Concern:I like my Tesla Model S. More than like it – I LOVE IT!I saved for several years, knowing that THIS is the car for me. Good looking, fast and great for the environment. I’m not giving my money to oil companies or hostile countries that don’t have our best interests at heart. On or around December 24, 2016, I took delivery of my Model S 75D. It wasn’t the battery size I wanted, but I was already near $100K for a car. I am not rich and that’s all I could afford. I’m happy with my purchase. I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…After about a year, the main battery develop a defect and it was necessary to send the battery back to Tesla for service. The Service Center in Tysons, VA install what I was led to believe was a “loaner” battery. I was told my original battery would be repaired, sent back from Tesla and installed. After waiting almost, a year, I stopped by the Tyson’s Service Center to find out where my original battery was. I work about a quarter of a mile up the street from the Service Center, so it was no problem coming by. I was told that the loaner battery is now to be my permanent battery. I was told that this is an “upgraded” battery; less prone to failures. No offers of an actual replacement battery – not even an offer of a used higher capacity battery. I left feeling somewhat cheated…I love the car, support Tesla and its mission… During the time of the battery fiasco, my tires were beginning to show wear. My Tesla, which I have named KITT, is my primary car and I drive it 80+ miles a day to and from work. I also noticed the car starting to drift slightly,; I can’t remember right or left. I decided to get better all-season tires and had them mounted on 20” wheels. After having that done, Tesla informed me that they could not do a necessary wheel alignment with the 20” wheels installed. Fortunately, I kept the original wheels. By this time, I did not want to go back to the Tysons, VA Service Center, both out of frustration with them and embarrassment. It was then I made an appointment with the Rockville, MD Service Center. I had COSTCO swap my new wheels and tires with the original ones. I then went to Tesla – Rockville for the alignment and went back to COSTCO to have them sway the wheels back for me. The Rockville Service Center did a great job .I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…In recent months, I suppose that Tesla Service has gone though some sort of re-organization. Attempts to call and speak to an actual person in the Service Center go in vain. On 21 May 2019, I ended up using my mobile app to report an issue with the driver’s seat being loose and sounding squeaky, the driver’s side DRL appearing dim and yellowish and the AC sounding like an airplane taking off when it’s really hot outside. At that time, it was scheduled for Rockville. On 10 June 2019, I used the app to add that the previous problem now appears on the passenger side, but to a lesser extent. Rockville could not be chosen as my preferred Service Center. What happened to my original service request?I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…Today, 29 June 2019, I am at my Dad’s condo, taking care of him. He’s 95 with dementia, (Mom passed away last week at 93). If I need to take his somewhere, KITT’s huge trunk can easily handle his wheelchair with no problem. Anyway, I went to get something I had in my trunk and it wouldn’t open. Actually, it unlatched partially, but did not open fully. You can’t close it either. I tried using the key fob, app and manual latch, without success. I had the idea of using the emergency release in the trunk. So, I removed my third-party rear armrest, (who was the genius behind the design of the Model S rear seat?)… Folding the seats down, I was able to remove the items in the trunk and get to the manual hatch release. This turned out to be an exercise in futility. Due to the passing rain showers in our area today, my partner ended up swapping KITT out with his Nissan Leaf; fearing getting water in the trunk.Currently, my service appointment is with the Baltimore, MD Service Center. The Rockville, MD Service Center was not given as an option. I will not go to the Tysons, VA Service Center. All done through the app, instead of speaking with a real person…I love the car, support Tesla and its mission…After this stressful day, I am relaxing at home, watching YouTube videos on the new Mercedes EQC. That’s what my partner REALLY wants… Now, as I stated before: I am not a rich person. I work very hard for my money; I have worked in IT Customer Support for over 25 years. I don’t have a YouTube channel or podcast. Just an average hard-working guy, who likes cars and care about the environment. I’m sure Elon will never see this email and it may end up just being deleted. However, I have to ask if THIS is what you get when you spend almost $100K with Tesla? I’ve owned cars from Honda, Acura, Audi and BMW. All of them made me feel like my purchase meant something and that I was a valued customer; not like I just bought a TV from my local Best Buy. Maybe Tesla is forgetting about the earlier Model S buyers and putting all their resources into Model 3 buyers. How will Tesla fix this? Inquiring minds would like to know.Always remember… I LOVE the car. I support Tesla and its mission. The service? Ehhh… I just feel Tesla can and need to do better. I have no doubt that they will.A Somewhat Annoyed Customer,Kevin A. Jackson

Vermutlich hat sich jede(r) von uns schon einmal bei dem Gedanken erwischt: "Wieso hat der Hersteller meines Auto an jeden Firlefanz gedacht, aber nicht an das, was ich eigentlich viel dringender haben möchte?" Wie kommt es, dass wir hin und wieder das Gefühl haben, die Autohersteller würden sich nicht um die Wünsche ihrer Kunden kümmern? Warum tun sich OEMs so schwer damit, Kundenrückmeldungen aufzugreifen und in ihre Produkte einfließen zu lassen? Darüber (und natürlich über einiges mehr) sprechen wir in dieser Episode mit Dr. Axel Sprenger, Geschäftsführer von UScale. Lange Jahre als Ingenieur beim Autohersteller tätig und anschließend beruflich tief eingetaucht in die Welt von Marktforschung und -analyse, hat er eine Menge Erfahrung gesammelt und teilt einiges davon mit uns in dieser Sendung.Ansonsten reden wir viel über kommende E-Autos: Den Honda e und den Mercedes EQC, den ID.3 von Volkswagen, die erste Edition des e.GO Life und den elektrischen Sattelschlepper 40E von Futuricum. An allen Ecken und Enden tut sich was, bis hin zum konkreten Beschluss VWs, im niedersächsischen Salzgitter Batteriezellen selbst zu produzieren.Im Juni werden wir außerdem sowohl beim Dr. Windows Community Day vor Ort sein wie auch beim jährlichen Treffen des ZOE-Clubs Austria.

Show #469   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Sunday 12th May 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today 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.   Firstly thank you to MICHAEL COLAO for becoming a Patreon at Producer level. Thank you to new PATREON PARTNER Blake Boland (@evlifeireland) and congratulation on the new addition to you family.   BEV SHARE IN WESTERN EUROPE EXCEEDS 2%: 300,000 TO BE SOLD IN 2019 "Sales of all-electric cars in Western Europe are growing strongly and so far this year the BEV market share is slightly exceeding 2%, compared to less than 1.5% in the record year of 2018." says Mark Kane for InsideEVs: "With more than 100,000 in the first four months, Western Europe is also on track for more than 300,000 sales in 2019. Industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de) points out that April was the 6th consecutive month of sales above 20,000. Hopefully, with new models on the market, the growth will continue."   Every 50th new car registered in the region now pure EV.   https://insideevs.com/news/348893/bev-share-europe-300000-sold-2019/   ELONROAD EV CHARGING SYSTEM TO GET FIRST TRIAL IN SWEDEN "Sweden is about to begin installing the first kilometer of Elonroad track along a heavily used bus route to recharge electric buses as they drive." says CleanTechnica: "The rail system itself is easy to install. Since it rests on top of the pavement, no asphalt or concrete needs to be dug up. “If [a car] drives one kilometer on our electric road, it can drive another two kilometers on the energy it charged from our road. So it makes a total of three kilometers of driving. But you only pay for one kilometer of [installation].” All that is needed is adding a contacter device to the underside of any electric vehicle to charge while driving. The advantages of the system are many. Assuming the Elonroad system is widely available, EVs could charge as they drive, which means they wouldn’t need such large batteries as they do today. Researchers at Lund University estimate the Elonroad systems could permit electric cars to use 80% smaller batteries."   https://cleantechnica.com/2019/05/12/elonroad-ev-charging-system-to-get-first-trial-in-sweden/   SWITZERLAND: TESLA OPENS CHARGING PARK WITH LOUNGE "Tesla has opened its 18th and to date largest supercharger location in Switzerland in Dietikon near Zurich. The special thing about it: In addition to 24 charging slots, it offers the first EV lounge in Europe. Previously, the Californians had only pushed the construction of lounges in the USA in combination with charging parks." writes electrive.com: "With the new Swiss location, Tesla is now beginning to implement its lounge concept in Europe as well. The lounge offers a play and painting area for children, table football and console games as well as pull-up bars, a sofa and a dining area. When the weather is fine, an outdoor area is also accessible. Food can be bought from a vending machine."   Hi to Rene Schneider: "Took this pictures today, the really big Tesla charging hub (biggest in Switzerland?) looks finished - literally 50 Meters from my office, outside of Zurich, in the industrial section of the town of Dietikon. Interesting that Tesla goes away from a few roadside chargers to these big spots with - here 24 superchargers."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/05/12/switzerland-tesla-opens-charging-park-with-lounge/   THIS BMW I8 ROADSTER IS THE NEW FORMULA E SAFETY CAR "BMW has shown the new official safety car for the Formula E championship. Unveiled at the Yacht Club de Monaco, the safety car is based on a BMW i8 Roadster that has gone through some modifications." says autoblog today: "BMW says the vehicle's center of gravity is 15 millimeters lower, and that no major structural modifications were needed in the customization, as the Roadster is reportedly stiff enough for safety car duty. The aerodynamics package has been tailored for the occasion, with a front splitter and a rear wing, and above the latter stands the light bar. The brakes are M Carbon Ceramic and the car benefits from the addition of an FIA-approved roll bar – just in case. BMW says the i8 Roadster is the world's first open-cockpit Safety Car, too."   https://www.autoblog.com/2019/05/12/bmw-i8-roadster-formula-e-safety-car/   MERCEDES' NEW EQC ELECTRIC SUV PRICED UNDER £66,000 IN UK "Mercedes-Benz’s new electric SUV - the EQC - has gone on sale in the UK with prices starting at £65,640." reports James for InsideEVs: "Powered by an 80 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-tron rival will arrive in the UK in July boasting a 259-mile range and 402 bhp. That means it’ll tackle the sprint to 62 mph in a smidge over five seconds, while the top speed is 111 mph. The sub-£66k asking price buys you the ‘base’ variant - the EQC 400 Sport - which comes with a reversing camera, heated seats and 19-inch wheels, as well as two 10.25-inch screens that sit side-by-side. One of the two digital displays replaces conventional dials, while the other acts as the in-car infotainment screen. However, working in tandem with Mercedes’ MBUX system, the two can be customized to display pretty much whatever the driver or passengers would like.   https://insideevs.com/news/348780/mercedes-new-eqc-electric-suv-priced-under-66000-in-uk/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVs I've always loved 80s and 90s concept car styling so from a looks perspective, I am all for EVs looking futuristic and pushing the boundaries of design. Always room for sensible looking cars though. Relating to equipment. The whole EV package makes doing things differently, a real possibility. This is a great way to show why an EV is indeed the future. There are better ways of doing the things we've always done   Mark Bullock, Mississippi I'm all for the multitude of bells and whistles in the current crop of EVs, but would like a button to push that would configure the EV to a driver's favorite settings, or at least a "Button-for-Dummies" that could be used for the sometimes Luddites that inhabit our households.   John Fruhwirth Yes, I am totally in favour of having EVs stand out from ICE cars. Electrification needs all of the visibility and publicity we can give them. There is nothing like having them stand out on the road to catch as many eyeballs and head turns as possible. We have to get people thinking electric as quickly as possible to overcome the enormous amount of FUD being promulgated by the oil industry and the legacy car makers and their dealers.   RAJEEV NARAYAN I see no reason for mainstream EVs to delay incorporating new features, just to keep some customers “comfortable” I say this because I have been teaching my daughter to drive in my Chevy Bolt, and although she struggles with the usual things new teenage drivers do, the one thing she has no issues with is the technology. She effortlessly configures the information screens, Bluetooth settings, apple car play, as though it was second nature. When I explained that EVs can receive over the air updates, she was not surprised and simply said “well how else would they do it?”  EVs in the U.S. will supposedly achieve cost parity with ICE cars by about 2023 and are projected to really take off around that time, by then she will be 23. People her age and perhaps 5-10 years older than her will be buying their 1st and second cars by then.  I suspect they will have not have many issues adapting to new technology.   NEIL Qotw there is a space for both. Cars that celebrate being electric would generally be aimed at the younger or more tech inclined market. Those cars that are more traditional in controls would be aimed at the older more conservative market. Obviously that is a generalisation, but it makes my point - as long as there is a EV for everyone then everyone will drive electric.see Teslas mission statement for more details.     COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Show #447   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 16th April 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today, and picked out the best ones 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.   Welcome to the family a new Patreon PRODUCER TORSTEN WILD.   MERCEDES-BENZ EQC EDITION 1886 ADDS EXCLUSIVITY TO THE ELECTRIC SUV A limited special edition EQC Edition 1886 has been announced at the New York Auto Show as a tribute to the first motor car, and looking forward at a new era for Daimler. "As for the name, it’s obviously a callback to the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen – the vehicle widely recognized as the first production car. Mechanically speaking, everything about the EQC Edition 1886 is just as you’ll find it on the standard model. A pair of electric motors drive all four wheels with a combined output of 402 horsepower (300 kilowatts), drawing power from an 80 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Mercedes estimates the EQC’s range between 277 and 293 miles, with the capability for fast charging at 110 kW when such high-output stations are available" writes Chris Smith for motor1.com: "The standard EQC is expected to arrive in June for the European market, with U.S. sales beginning next year. The Edition 1886 is also slated to go on sale in the U.S. next year. Pricing for either model hasn’t been announced yet." I think that points towards Mercedes engineers having done a great job on efficiency, because 80kWh is less than others are using for the same size vehicle, if you look at the 95kWh Audi e-tron which just scrapes over 200 miles on the EPA range.   https://www.motor1.com/news/345040/mercedes-benz-eqc-edition-1886/   WORLD CAR AWARDS GIVES JAGUAR I-PACE THREE HONORS "The Jaguar I-Pace was a critical darling of the World Car of the Year Awards, announced Wednesday at the New York Auto Show. It nabbed the World Car of the Year Award, as well as honors for Green Car and Design." says Zac for InsideEVs.com: "The other two finalists for the World Car of the Year award, announced last month at the Geneva Motor Show, were the Audi E-Tron and the Volvo S60/V60. The I-Pace shared its World Green Car award with the Audi, while the hydrogen fuel cell Hyundai Nexo was also nominated for that honor. Jaguar Director of Design, Ian Callum, was in New York to receive the awards. Underscoring the significance of the awards, he said that “going green” was going to happen to the whole industry and that cars like the I-Pace are the start of the journey."   https://insideevs.com/2019-ny-auto-show-jaguar-world-car/   LOTUS ANNOUNCES ‘WORLD’S FIRST FULL ELECTRIC BRITISH HYPERCAR’, UNVEILS TEASER "Lotus confirmed that it is working on what they describe as the “world’s first full electric British hypercar” and it unveiled a teaser image for the electric vehicle." writes Fred for Electrek today: "There have been rumors about Lotus going electric with a $2.5 million 1,000 hp hypercar ever since Geely took a majority stake in the British automaker. At the Shanghai International Auto Show, Lotus has now confirmed that an all-electric hypercar called Type 130 is in “advanced stages of development.”   https://electrek.co/2019/04/16/lotus-type-130-full-electric-british-hypercar-teaser/   BATTERY-POWERED TOYOTA C-HR HIGHLIGHTS ELECTRIC DEBUTS IN CHINA Toyota love to promote their cars with the phrase "we choose not to plug in". Which is awkward because we know all cars are going electric and will have to have a plug. But how quickly will that happen? How about now. "Toyota has just jumped into the battery-powered pool, revealing a small collection of all-electrics at the Auto Shanghai 2019. The most notable was its compact crossover, the C-HR EV. It’s the first completely electrified vehicle from the Japanese brand to come to China. Curiously, the other main EV is also the C-HR, but wears a badge proclaiming itself to be the Izoa EV. It, according to Autocar, will be built by the state-owned outfit FAW. Toyota says the twins should be offered to consumers in 2020." reports InsideEVs.com: "The appearance of the all-electric C-HR sparks the inevitable questions, “Will it come to other markets?” While we have no definitive answer, the automaker reminds us that it plans to introduce more than 10 battery-electric vehicles before 2025. While we would hope it makes its way outside of China, the automaker has yet to release technical specifications for the vehicle, so it’s difficult to judge how well suited it might be for Western markets."   https://insideevs.com/toyota-c-hr-ev-china-rhombus-izoa-video/   ALL-ELECTRIC GENESIS MINT CONCEPT REVEALED IN NEW YORK Genesis revealed the Mint Concept at Hudson Yards, ahead of the opening of the 2019 New York International Auto Show. The Mint Concept introduces the all-electric, luxury car for the city, a new vehicle typology, featuring organic design and an innovative interior user experience. The versatility of the Mint Concept extends to the design and engineering of its high- density, battery-electric powertrain, which is capable of an estimated 200 miles per full charge and 350-KW fast recharging.   TESLA LAUNCHES BATTERY RECYCLING AT NEVADA GIGAFACTORY "In its latest environmental impact statement, Tesla announced that it will open its own battery recycling facility. Tesla has been recycling batteries made at the factory using third-party recyclers. Now, as the earliest Model S's reach 7 years old, and the company is starting to receive some batteries back after use in those early cars, it's setting up its own battery recycling facility." says Eric for Green Car Reports: "The new processing center at the company's Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada to process both old batteries used in customers' Teslas as well as those from its own research and development. The company says lithium, cobalt, aluminum, copper, and steel will be recovered from the batteries in a closed-loop system that optimizes the materials for new battery production. "   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1122631_tesla-launches-battery-recycling-at-nevada-gigafactory   FASTNED OPENS ITS FIRST 350 KW CHARGING STATION IN THE UK "Fastned just expanded to the United Kingdom, opening not only its first fast-charging station there, but also the first in the UK ready for 350 kW of charging power. It’s located on West Wear Street, which is one of Sunderland’s busiest central routes. Sunderland is also known for its Nissan manufacturing plant, which produces the LEAF for the European market." reports InsideEVs.com; Fastned say: "“Initially, charging at the station in Sunderland will be free. The free charging will end during 2019 as soon as the payment system is activated, from that moment an introductory price will be charged. Charging and paying will then be possible with a EV charge card, debit/credit card, Apple Pay and Android Pay. Later in the year it will also be possible to charge with the Fastned App, making automatic charging (Autocharge) possible in the United Kingdom for the first time.”   https://insideevs.com/fastned-opens-first-350-kw-charging-station/   VW OF AMERICA TO GAUGE US APPETITE FOR MQB-BASED TAROK PICKUP CONCEPT AT NY SHOW "Volkswagen of America (VoA) plans to show the Tarok pickup concept for the first time in the US at the New York International Auto Show. Although there are no plans to produce the vehicle for the US market, VoA is showing the Tarok concept to gauge market reaction for a versatile and compact entry-level pickup. The US is the largest global market for pickups." To me this says one thing - it's not about selling diesel trucks, it's VW looking at their electric vehicle offering and Tesla Truck, the Rivian and others, and seeing a lucrative market possibly being closed off to them.'   SONO MOTORS TO BUILD SION EV AT SAAB’S FORMER FACTORY IN SWEDEN The first series production solar electric vehicle (SEV) developed by the German mobility provider Sono Motors is to be manufactured in Sweden. As Sono Motors officially announced today, the first generation of the Sion will be produced in Trollhättan by National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS). The plant located there was home to the production lines of the long-standing and innovative automobile manufacturer SAAB. In total, an initial 260,000 vehicles will roll off the production line in Trollhättan over an eight-year period. Production will commence in the second half of 2020. After the ramp-up period, approximately 43,000 Sion a year will be manufactured in two-shift operations. Production will be carried out using one hundred percent renewable energy. A bidirectional charging function enables the Sion to both receive and supply electricity, power electrical devices independently, and feed energy to other vehicles or into the electricity grid. Thanks to full-surface solar integration, the vehicle battery can be charged with pure and free solar energy worth up to 34 kilometers’ range per day in addition to its regular WLTP range of 255 kilometers. For its market launch, the Sion will be rolled out in one single variant version costing 25,500 euros. There are plans afoot to develop other vehicle models based on the vehicle’s platform.   VOLKSWAGEN ID. R USES DRS FORMULA 1 TECHNOLOGY FOR NÜRBURGRING RUN "Volkswagen has set itself a new challenge with the ID. R this year – the Nürburgring-Nordschleife instead of Pikes Peak. A race track instead of a hill climb. Full-throttle sections instead of hair-pins. Because of this, the fully electric-powered ID. R has been continuously developed with respect to its aerodynamics." says Electric Vehicle News: "As well as an adapted floor and a new spoiler at the front of the vehicle, the ID. R will also sport a newly designed rear wing. It will be much lower than the variant used at Pikes Peak, in order to provide less surface resistance to the flow of air. The new multi-wing rear of the ID. R will nevertheless produce high downforce in the medium-fast turns of the 73-corner Nordschleife. To further reduce the drag in certain sections, the rear wing will deploy technology known from its use in Formula 1 – the so-called Drag Reduction System (DRS). In the pinnacle class of motorsport, DRS is used in order to facilitate overtaking by allowing for higher speeds. During the ID. R’s solo-drive, however, the opening element of the rear wing will be used exclusively to preserve the remaining energy reserves."   http://www.electric-vehiclenews.com/2019/04/volkswagen-id-r-uses-drs-formula-1.html   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

This officially makes it the longest-range EV in Kia's lineup, because the Niro EV is rated for 239 miles. The Hyundai Kona bests them all with a 258-mile range, though." according to Autoblog today: "A 64 kWh battery pack provides juice for an electric motor producing 201 horsepower and 291 pound-feet of torque. DC fast charging is standard and you can adjust the brake regeneration power via paddles behind the steering wheel. Anyone looking at an EV from Kia or Hyundai is going to have to make a choice when it comes to bodystyle, because they won't lose or gain much on the powertrain and efficiency side of things. A 243-mile range is more than sufficient to compete in the electric vehicle world right now, especially if you can get that range on the quirky but lovable Soul. The Bolt EV is sitting at 238 miles of range, and the new Nissan Leaf E+ can go 226 miles before fully depleting its battery."   https://www.autoblog.com/2019/02/14/2020-kia-soul-ev-243-mile-range-epa-official/   MERCEDES-BENZ EQC IS REPORTEDLY ALREADY SOLD OUT FOR ITS FIRST YEAR "The 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC isn't in drivers' hands just yet, but the automaker says its new electric car is already sold out for its first year of production. On top of that, Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars Dieter Zetsche told a German newspaper there's doubt as to whether production could even meet demand next year. Mercedes has not announced planned production figures for the model." reports Roadshow by CNET: "Although we're still waiting for exact range figures and pricing for the 2020 Mercedes EQC, the electric vehicle is set to debut in the US in 2020. The car packs two electric motors, with total output rated for 402 horsepower and 564 pound-feet of torque, and will use an 80-kilowatt-hour battery pack. In an early test of the car, Roadshow's Steven Ewing was able to drive an EQC an indicated 228 miles with about 7 percent battery charge remaining, which signals the car should offer a solid driving range."   "We are sure that we will not be able to meet the demand in 2019 and probably not by 2020," Zetsche told Die Welt. "But we're doing everything we can to achieve the maximum capacity."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mercedes-benz-eqc-electric-car-sold-out/   ELECTRIFY AMERICA HAS 105 CHARGING SITES OPERATIONAL; 465 CHARGERS Electrify America has 105 electric vehicle charging sites with 465 chargers which are operational and open to the public.   Since installing its first ultra-fast DC fast charging site in Chicopee, MA in May 2018, Electrify America has accelerated the pace of installations nationwide.   Electrify America’s progress includes: 105 charging sites with 465 chargers operational and open to the public; An additional 42 charging sites with 189 chargers which have been constructed and waiting to be energized by utility companies; An additional 85 charging sites with 393 chargers in active construction; An additional 73 charging sites and 341 chargers with approved permits scheduled for construction; and An additional 179 charging sites in design and engineering; Total of 484 charging sites secured for Cycle 1.   https://www.greencarcongress.com/2019/02/20190214-ea.html   AUDI E-TRON RESERVATIONS SOAR TO 20,000: DELIVERIES DELAYED AGAIN "The German manufacturer said that the customer deliveries in Europe will start in March, which is another delay from previously announced February, and already several months behind the original schedule. In the U.S., first e-trons are expected in the second quarter." says Mark Kane for InsideEVs.com: "Despite the delay, Audi has good news that more than 20,000 reservations were placed globally, which is two times more than the official number in September 2018. “The first deliveries to European customers will start in March; more than 20,000 customers worldwide have already made advance reservations for the model.” As of the end of January, in Germany alone, the number of Audi e-tron registered exceeds 1,000, which gives hopes that when deliveries will finally begin, it will be substantial."   https://insideevs.com/audi-e-tron-electric-suv-reservations-soar-to-20000/   DOES AUDI E-TRON REALLY ONLY USE 83 OUT OF ITS 95-KWH BATTERY PACK? Car And Driver asks:" What gives? For one, Audi uses just 81.0 kWh of the e-tron’s 95.0-kWh capacity. Every automaker leaves a buffer to protect the longevity of the pack, but Audi appears characteristically conservative here." George Bower at InsideEVs says: "In Bjørn Nyland’s video, he calculates the amount of energy available at only 82.5 kWh’s. Maybe the battery was cold? We don’t know as we don’t have battery temps displayed during his test, but the outside temps were just below the freezing mark. On the other hand, we would assume that Audi would heat the battery so maybe battery temp doesn’t explain it."   https://insideevs.com/audi-e-tron-83-of-95-kwh-battery-pack/   TESLA SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT AUDI, NOT JAGUAR, ANALYST SAYS "Test-driving Jaguar’s new i-PACE electric car showed that it is a “credible first effort” but a “poorly executed infotainment system and a dealership network that may not be able to position and sell the car effectively” will keep it from having an impact on Tesla (ticker: TSLA) sales, JMP analyst Joseph Osha said in a note to clients Wednesday. After driving the i-PACE and Audi’s EV, Osha writes that the latter is a much more worrying competitor to Tesla. “The i-PACE we drove was elegantly appointed,” he writes. “It had the excellent fit and finish that Jaguars usually do, and Teslas sometimes do not. The interior and controls are laid out in a traditional configuration, which may be attractive to some buyers not ready to embrace Tesla’s display-based driver interface.” It also has a listed-range of 234 miles, less than the Model 3’s 310 miles and the X’s 270."   https://www.barrons.com/articles/tesla-stock-jaguar--audi-threat-analyst-51550171161   CLASSIC MINI GETS FULL ELECTRIC CONVERSION BY SWIND "The fashion for producing electric powered versions of classic cars shows no signs of slowing down, with Swind revealing its zero emissions take on the original Mini, replacing its combustion drivetrain with a modern-day electric one. It follows hot on the heels of Jaguar Land Rover Classic’s converted E-Types and Aston Martin’s electric DB6 Volante." says Sam Jenkins for EVO: "Due to the nature of electric motors, torque is available immediately, likely making the model feel rather nippy with a 9.2sec 0-62mph time proving far quicker than the Fifties original. Power comes in at 80Kw, equivalent to around 110bhp, providing a top speed of 80mph. Although range is usually an issue for electric cars, the E Classic Mini has a very respectable range of 125 miles - plenty enough for its intended use in the city."   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

The Bild am Sonntag said prosecutors were preparing charges against unnamed Volkswagen managers for suspected fraud, noting that the company had given assurances in 2016 that the 1.2 liter engines did not use illegal emissions cheating defeat devices."   https://www.autoblog.com/2019/01/13/vw-diesel-emissions-recall-germany/   NISSAN E-POWER A HUGE SALES SUCCESS: WHY NOT ADD A PLUG? "Nissan celebrates a tremendous achievement of selling 136,324 Note cars in Japan last year, which put the model on the top of all models" says Mark at InsideEVs.com: "We would normally not bother, but both Nissans – Note and Serena – are offered in conventional and a special, series-hybrid version called e-POWER (without plug-in capability). As it turns out, 70% of all Note sales in 2018 were Note e-Power, which would translate to over 95,000. Since the introduction of Note e-POWER in November 2016, Nissan already sold over 200,000 of those!"   https://insideevs.com/nissan-e-power-add-plug-in-capability/   RIDEAPART.COM HAS MORE DETAILS ON THE HARLEY DAVIDSON LIVEWIRE ELECTRIC BIKE "The bike is built on a lightweight aluminum chassis. The exposed frame, floating upward tail, and naked silhouette are a stark contrast from the typical Harley—exactly what the company is aiming to do with what it hopes will help kindle a younger audience’s curiosity. The electric powertrain is set low within the frame to send the weight towards the ground and keep a low center of gravity." "A new feature, alien to the rest of the lineup, is the “twist and go”—since its electric, the LiveWire neither has a clutch nor a gear selector. You only have to, well, twist and go. The company has also been selling the model’s performance, with the promise of a 0-to-60 in 3.5 seconds thanks to its electric powertrain. " And yes it will charge Level 1, Level 2 or even Level 3 rapid charging. And you will need to charge it - after 59 miles. "As for pricing, the tag has been set at $29,799 and the model will be available in three colors starting August 2019."   https://www.rideapart.com/articles/300452/2019-harley-davidson-livewire-new/   ELECTRIC CAR SALES SET TO RISE DRAMATICALLY IN 2019 "Electric car sales are set to rise dramatically in 2019 as rapid growth in the sector is expected to continue. According to electric vehicle website Driving Electric, drivers who are considering taking the plunge are advised to strike now before supply bottlenecks take hold." according to the UK version of Motor1.com: "Research by the website shows that it usually takes around 10-12 weeks for a new car to be delivered, but lead times for some electric vehicles can be up to six months. The website found that Hyundai claims to have “no lead time” between order and delivery for the hybrid version of the Ioniq hatchback, but buyers wanting plug-in hybrid or fully electric versions will have to wait around four months."   https://uk.motor1.com/news/299988/ev-sales-rise-2019/   MERCEDES-BENZ EQC 400 EXTENDED DRIVE TO RED ROCK CANYON Oh to have the life of an EV reviewer for InsideEVs.com: "Crusing down the strip in Las Vegas in the Mercedes EQC 400, it’s very possible to completely forget you’re in an electric car. The lights, outside music and inevitable slow crawl in Vegas strip traffic can remove some of the most enjoyable features of driving electric; that being the instant torque of the electric motor, the quiet cabin and smooth vibration-less acceleration." Tom Moloughney was the lucky one going for a ridealong to the desert. "The EQC is not a dedicated-platform EV. It shares many components with the C-Class and GLC line. It’s going to be manufactured on the same line as the C-Class and GLC in Daimler’s plant in Bremen, Germany. " "As for range, Mercedes has been quoting 400 km, which is based on the European WLTP range test. Shult has been driving the EQC for a while now, and knows exactly what it’s capable of. He told us of a recent trip when they drove the vehicle (normal driving not hypermiling) 228 miles and had 7% battery left." "The EQC is equipped with a 32-amp onboard charger, good for AC charging up to 7.4 kW. The car will come with a 120-volt portable EVSE in the US, and Mercedes will offer Level 2 charging options for purchase. As for DC Fast charging, the EQC will accept up to 110 kW, allowing the vehicle to charge from 10% to 80% in about 40 minutes." "The EQC has an 80 kWh battery, which we found out during the drive is the usable capacity, not the total.

Well, it will do later in 2019 when you can finally get one. Here's everything I’ve been able to dig up for you, and some of my thoughts based on the first 12 hours of reaction. Let's start with what the same, everything you can see! Exterior will have a new badge and interior has an 8" screen rather than 7". You will charge it with CHAdeMO and not CCS. First up from InsideEVs, clarity on the name and when you can get one: "Nissan LEAF e+ is the global name for the car, but particularly in the U.S. and Canada, Nissan would like to name the top of the line version – the LEAF PLUS Series. There will be three trim levels: LEAF S PLUS, LEAF SV PLUS and LEAF SL PLUS. Market launch plan: Japan – January 2019, U.S. – Spring 2019 (pricing to be announced closer to on-sale date) Europe – Mid-2019. Battery - it's 62kWh not the 60kWh we were led to believe, or even the 64kWh assumed when rumours last year pointed towards them using LG Chem packs. "Even with a 25 percent increase in energy density and the increase in energy storage capacity, the LEAF e+ battery pack is almost the same size and configuration as the pack in the Nissan LEAF. Other than a 5-millimeter increase in overall height (16-inch wheels), the car’s exterior and interior dimensions are unchanged" says Nissan So that range is 226 miles (364 km) EPA range vs 151 miles (243 km) for the 40kW version. Nissan says: "Thanks to the available new 70 kW (100 kW peak) Quick Charging system, the 2019 Nissan LEAF e+ can charge more efficiently than ever.*3 Based on early testing, Nissan LEAF e+ owners can expect similar charging times when hooked up to a 100 kW charger as current LEAF owners do with a 50 kW charger, despite a 55 percent larger battery storage capacity.” Motor: the 160kW motor us up from 110kW, a 36% increase. They are drawing our attention to the 50mph-70mph difference.   Pricing: The base Nissan LEAF e+ will start from ¥4,162,320 (around $38,370). In the case of Europe, Nissan announced two Limited Edition versions for “old” and new version: LEAF 3.ZERO (40 kWh) – from €39,900 (orders now, deliveries from May). LEAF 3.ZERO e+ (62 kWh) – from €45,500 (orders now, deliveries from Summer).   If you add the same premium to US prices it should be ~$35k.   ZERO gets the bigger screen and phone mirroring, and colours. And it's available to order now.   Nissan says: "“The Nissan LEAF 3.ZERO e+ Limited Edition will also be available to order from January 9 across European markets. This limited edition – of which only 5,000 units will be produced for Europe – will feature a higher output capable of delivering 160 kW (217 PS) and longer range capabilities with expected driving range of up to 385 km* from a single charge."   Forbes says: "The battery continues to be supplied by AESC, Nissan’s in-house battery division that is in the process of being sold to China's Envison Group. Like all prior iterations of the Leaf it is still air-cooled, running contrary to the industry conventions. Also contrary to some earlier speculation, Nissan hasn't switched to LG Chem as a cell supplier."   https://insideevs.com/nissan-reveals-leaf-e-plus-ces/   https://insideevs.com/nissan-announces-leaf-e-price-europe-japan/   https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2019/01/08/2020-nissan-leaf-plus-crosses-the-200-mile-threshold/#341706836ece     MINI PLOTS MAIDEN HOT HATCH EV FOR 2019 REVEAL "Mini’s first electric car will also be the industry’s first electric hot hatch, engineering sources in Germany have revealed." says Mark Tisshaw for Autocar: "Rather than a sole focus on economy and eking out range, Mini is developing its electric car with performance in mind. To that end, the model will be badged Cooper S E when it is unveiled later this year to reflect its performance hierarchy in the Mini range. The BMW i3 S’s 181bhp electric motor is understood to be the most likely power source for the new Mini, meaning it will give little away to the 189bhp 2.0-litre engine of the Cooper S." The drivetrain won't include BMW's 5th generation technology though.   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mini-plots-maiden-hot-hatch-ev-2019-reveal   NINE IN 10 ELECTRIC CAR DRIVERS WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO PETROL "Almost nine in 10 electric vehicle drivers would never go back to driving a car powered by petrol or diesel, according to new research" reports Motor1.com: "A study by electric vehicle YouTube channel Fully Charged found that 88 percent of plug-in car drivers said they would definitely not switch back to fossil fuels after having owned an electric vehicle (EV). Seven percent of those quizzed said they were not sure whether they would turn back to internal combustion, while the remaining five percent said they would consider making a return to petrol- or diesel-powered cars. However, just under a quarter of the channel’s audience (24 percent) said they currently owned an electric car, with the vast majority (54 percent) claiming to own a petrol-powered vehicle. Diesel was the second most popular fuel, accounting for 35 percent of viewers, while a combined total of 11 percent were the owners of petrol hybrids or plug-in hybrids." With 7,700 taking part in the survey it's a large number.   https://uk.motor1.com/news/299997/ev-drivers-wont-return-petrol/   MERCEDES EQC GETS SAMPLED BY JAY LENO "Until it actually makes market debut, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz EQC gets the Jay Leno treatment." according to DriveMag: "Naturally, Mr. Leno drives an EQC 400 4Matic in prototype guise and for more background on the EV, he takes Bastian Schult (Powertrain Testing Engineer at Mercedes-Benz) for a ride. Now, you might already know that the EQC relies on an 80-kWh battery pack that allows for a max range of 280 miles (450 km) on a single charge, with power coming from two electric motors that make together 408 PS (300 kW)"   MERCEDES EQC ELECTRIC SUV TO COST FROM UNDER £50K IN THE UK? .."The new Mercedes EQC – Mercedes’ electric SUV aimed at the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-tron – looks set to cost from under £50k when it arrives in the UK." speculates CarsUK.net: "When Leno asked the Mercedes man how much the EQC would cost in the US, he didn’t have an answer. But he did say that in Europe it will cost about the same as the Mercedes GLC 43. Which, in the UK, starts at £48,960. If the Mercedes man is right, you’ll be able to grab an electric Mercedes SUV with 400bhp, 0-62mph in around 5.0 seconds, an 80kWh battery pack and a range of over 200 miles for £15k less than an I-Pace and £20k less than an e-tron."   http://www.carsuk.net/mercedes-eqc-electric-suv-to-cost-from-under-50k-in-the-uk/   FIRST AUDI E-TRON DELIVERIES IN GERMANY FEBRUARY Talking of the e-tron, Mark Kane at InsdeiEV's.com published a story today: "So far, several hundred cars were registered in the first few markets, but it turns out that customer deliveries will not happen this month. According to industry analyst Matthias Schmidt (schmidtmatthias.de), first customers in Germany will get the e-tron in February. If Audi does not sort out its problems with the e-tron launch, it will be overtaken in Europe by Tesla Model 3, which also should hit the market in February."   https://insideevs.com/first-audi-e-tron-deliveries-germany-postponed/   TOYOTA PUSHES HYBRIDS DESPITE SLOWING GAS-ELECTRIC AUTO SALES "Don't tell Toyota the once hot gas-electric hybrid vehicle is losing its appeal." says CNBC: "The automaker is planning to leverage its dominance in hybrid autos as it grows the number of full- and hybrid-electric vehicles sold in the U.S. and around the world." Bob Carter, executive vice president of sales for Toyota North America "We are working on an entire portfolio of hybrids which we have been selling since 1997, plug-in hybrids, full battery electric vehicles as well as our fuel cell vehicles. Those vehicles represent about 9 percent of our sales in 2018. We have set a goal that it will be 15% of our sales next year in 2020."   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Das Emobil-Treffen in Horb am Neckar stand wieder auf dem Programm - wie schnell so ein Jahr doch vergehen kann. Zum zweiten Mal haben sich im Rahmen des dortigen Stadtfestes E-Mobilisten versammelt. Im Vergleich zum letzten Jahr war mehr geboten, und zwar nicht nur hinsichtlich der stark gewachsenen Teilnehmerzahl. Neben dem Sehen und Gesehenwerden und dem fröhlichen Austausch über unser aller Lieblingsthema gab es Vorträge zu hören und Podcast-Aufzeichnungen live beizuwohnen. Jana und Jerome vom Electrify-BW-Podcast haben ebenso vor Publikum aufgezeichnet wie auch wir. Diese Sendung ist also zum Release schon eine Woche alt... ;o) Themenmäßig bestimmt natürlich das Treffen die Episode. Neben Jana und Jerome schaut auch Tesla-Marcus Mayenschein nochmal vorbei, denn Philipps Zeit mit Marcus' Tesla Model S hat an diesem Tag ihr Ende gefunden. Die Heimreise ließ sich also nicht mehr in einem Rutsch absolvieren, denn es musste wieder in der Zoe Platz genommen werden. Ansonsten schwadronieren wir über den BMW i3, den Lion E-Mobility mit riesigem 100-kWh-Akku ausgestattet hat, und natürlich über den Mercedes EQC, der mehr oder minder erwartbar geraten ist. Besser gefallen hat uns jedenfalls der Hyundai Kona, den wir am Tag zuvor probefahren konnten. Vielleicht liegt es bloß daran, dass uns der Mercedes nicht zur Verfügung gestellt wurde? Wer weiß. Das wird vielleicht die Zeit zeigen. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com   Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Sunday 29th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.     US RESERVATIONS FOR THE AUDI E-TRON OPEN SEPTEMBER 2018 S. customers will be able to configure and reserve their 2019 Audi e-tron, the first all-electric vehicle from Audi, on Sept. 17. The e-tron will make its global debut on the same day at an event in San Francisco. T-minus 1 month 18 days. I'm excited for this one now! On Sept. 17, full e-tron specifications, including pricing, will be available at www.audiusa.com, giving customers the details needed to configure their e-tron and reserve their vehicle with a refundable $1,000 reservation fee. This new Audi reservation system is part of how Audi of America will create a digital ecosystem for Audi owners to confidently go electric. After customers place a reservation, they will be able to track it online and with their local dealer. Audi will share more details on this ecosystem and offerings for U.S. customers at the San Francisco event. As an electric SUV that includes integrated digital tools, in-home charging solutions and the support of Audi of America’s 303 dealer partners—e-tron owners can confidently choose electric performance knowing they have Audi support of a full ecosystem. "The 2019 E-Tron is a battery-powered, two-row crossover featuring dual electric motors and Audi’s brand new electric Quattro all-wheel drive system. Along with a range of about 245 miles from a 95kWh battery and, presumably, the automaker’s impressive driving dynamics, the SUV includes a number of integrated digital tools, in-home charging options, and what Audi describes as “ample cargo room and towing capacity.” reports Dan at New York Daily News. The E-Tron marks the first of three purely electric vehicles Audi plans to release by 2020. The company predicts that by 2025, up to 30 percent of its U.S. customers will have gone electric. Audi also touts a dedicated cooling system to help keep the battery operating at an optimal temperature, and to ensure repeatable performance. On top of that, Audi has put the e-tron Quattro's battery through extensive crash testing. According to Audi, the battery's "solid casing" is designed to withstand a collision. You can rapid charge at 150kW.   https://www.audiusa.com/models/e-tron-preview     MERCEDES EQC TO DEBUT IN STOCKHOLM Mercedes-Benz today confirmed the official premiere of the EQC production model on September 4, 2018 in Stockholm The EQC's two electric motors - front and rear - each with about 150 kW, should mean 0-60 in less than five seconds. However the battery on the EQC is smaller than the Audi, at 70kWh, and they're promising 400+kms. CCS DC Fast Charging will be possible up to 115kW. I've said before those numbers confuse me, either somewhere along the way the specs are wrong and the battery will be larger, or the range won’t be that far. How can a 2.5tonne SUV get 18Kwh/100kms? That's up there amongst very efficient cars. The Jaguar I-PACE certainly doesn't do 18kWh / 100km, if anyone listening now knows of a road test which has measured it, i'd love to know.   AUTO TRADER REVEALS THE BEST ELECTRIC CARS OF 2018 Auto Trader has published a list of the best electric and hybrid cars according to affordability, luxury and range. The Renault Zoe has been named the best budget option, while the Tesla Model S has been named as the best for long ranges.   The best budget option - Renault Zoe The Renault Zoe has been ranked as the best budget option. It’s one of the cheaper options on offer, and it can also be bought on a deal where you lease the battery from Renault, making the purchase price even more affordable. What’s more, the Zoe is smart-looking with a hi-tech interior, and also has a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating.   The best for long ranges - Tesla Model S A single charge of the Tesla Model S can get you almost 400 miles, making it a more viable option for consumers wanting to do more than pop into town. It boasts serious performance and some clever interior technology including a 17-inch touch-screen up front.   The most aspirational - BMW i3 BMW has delivered a truly aspirational electric car, thanks not only to its badge, but also to its sharp, innovative design. It gives you plenty of speed and fun handling, too. The i3 car comes with a premium price tag, but you certainly get a premium product for your money.   The most understated - Volkswagen e-Golf The e-Golf looks a lot like its non-electric counterpart, except with blue-tinted headlights and a different front grille. And, like any other Golf, it boasts all the same attributes - meaning high quality, family car practicality and a sophisticated driving experience - but with the added bonus of zero exhaust pollutants.   The best British-built option - Nissan Leaf The British-built Leaf was the first vehicle to convince people in large numbers that an electric car was something to consider, and now there's a new one. Built in Sunderland, with an improved battery, more power, bigger range and better affordability, it is the perfect option for the middleweight buyer.     TESLA PRODUCTION RISING TOWARD 7,000 VEHICLES A WEEK Zach at Clean Technica has been tracking Tesla production numbers and quoting a Twitter user who claims to have an insider who supplies daily Tesla production numbers. Of course there's no proof! "If you look at the broad trend, you see slow production growth over the past month, with some dips and with some days over 1,000/vehicles a day. The last update put yesterday’s daily production total at 1,100, with 780 of those being Model 3s. Of course, 1,100/day = 7,700/week if you extrapolate. But if you want the source of Tesla news, not a random Twitter account, from Elon himself is a good place to start: "He indicated a few days ago that Tesla has risen to ~6,000 Model S, X, and 3 per week, but many people have taken that ~6,000 to mean just the US because of what prefaced it, which could mean ~7,000 globally. Either way, we’re getting up there."   LAND ROVER'S LEAST PRICEY MODEL DUE FOR MAKEOVER, PLUG-IN VARIANT "The Discovery Sport serves as an entry point to the Land Rover lineup, retailing in the U.S. for $37,795 before delivery and offering a similarly sized, cheaper alternative to its Range Rover Evoque platform mate." according to The Truth About Cars: "the Discovery Sport undergoes a significant revamp for 2020, and should make its public debut early next year. A hybrid version of the model will appear (though whether it will be available at launch isn’t known), combining a new three-cylinder engine with an electric motor. A plug-in hybrid variant is also on the horizon, as are mild hybrid models."   FCA REVEALS THEIR PLANS FOR HYBRIDS AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES FCA has finally released the details about their introduction to the two new auto markets.   The Plan…Over the next five years, FCA released these specifics about their plans: Invest $10 billion into electric vehicle development between 2018 – 2022 Place a larger focus on the breadwinners of the FCA Group: Jeep, Ram, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo Move away from diesels and methane-powered engines Produce 14 electric vehicles and four battery-electric vehicles for Jeep by 2021 Mixing up SRT and electric vehicles by making performance-oriented electric vehicles Compete with Tesla by making electric versions of popular Maserati models Expand the Fiat 500e with a wagon model     BIG AUTOMAKERS ARE BREAKING THEMSELVES APART TO COMPETE WITH SILICON VALLEY "Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, is splitting itself up into three companies in order to make itself “fit for the future,” the automaker announced today. Mercedes-Benz, Daimler’s truck division, and Daimler’s mobility division will all become independent entities as a result of the effort " according to Sean O'Kane at The Verge: "By splitting these different pursuits into more discrete companies, Daimler says it hopes to give each one more “entrepreneurial freedom,” stronger “market and customer focus,” and the ability to strike up “faster and more flexible partnerships” in order to better compete in the constantly evolving auto industry. On Monday, Ford spun out a new entity called Ford Autonomous Vehicles LLC. The American automaker also announced on Wednesday that it is planning a restructuring of its global business model “to enhance competitiveness.”     COMMUNITY Emails   You can listen to all previous 194 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Also a lot of news today, so thank you for your emails and comments, we’ll do a bumper batch tomorrow.   #ROADTOZERO - THE GOOD, BAD AND UNCERTAIN Every country around the world, wherever you're listening, is somewhere along the path to zero-emission transport. That part isn't in doubt. The interesting thing is how quickly it will happen and whether you, the car buyers will make it happen, or whether it's going to be regulation and Government. Well here in the UK the Government just released a long awaited Road To Zero transport strategy, which some hoped would be a clear and definitive roadmap to the future. What do you think of this? And would it go down well where you're listening? Are you already ahead of the UK or do you have catching to do? Would this plan work where you live, or is the road to nowhere? Let's dive in. The talk of bans is out the window to be replaced with targets and ambitions, target for at least 50% of new cars to be ultra-low emission by 2030, and vague promises like “all new cars and vans to have significant zero-emission capability” by 2040 and “almost every” car and van to be zero-emission by 2050. All new builds homes as well as street lights to get EV chargers. I say this is good news because it brings the costs down when they're integrated, when you're buying in bulk, when developers building apartment or office blocks integrated solar, storage and chargers. No ban on combustion engines - the diesel lobby will be toasting a drink tonight because they got their way. The Guardian says: "Petrol and diesel hybrid cars will still be permitted to be sold in 2040, the government has conceded, in a move that has angered environmental campaigners but was welcomed by the car industry. Companies in the charge point installation business are up sharing a £400m Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund Businesses retrofitting charge points can claim grants for 75% of the costs. No detail or commitment on incentives. A review of all this planned for 2025 which builds IN uncertainty. In comparison Norway wants to phase out new combustion cars by 2025. Greenpeace said the car industry was “yet again being given a free pass” and the targets were weak by international standards. The body whose job it is to fight for diesel in the UK is the SMMT, and Mike Hawes their Chief Exec said the strategy recognised “the vital role conventional engines, including diesel, will continue to play in the transition to 2040 and beyond”. That's morally obscene knowing what we do now about particulates killing people and the damage to health they cause. My take: economics wins. Math wins. Most respectfully, politicians have never occupied a lower estimation in many minds than in 2018, hence the protest votes around the world. This is a political greenwash of policy whilst keeping diesel makers happy, but none of it matters because economics wins. Cheap motoring wins. Whilst you and I want to say we're doing this for the environment, time after time people have been shown to always do what's in their own interest. Which in this case is save money when EV's become cheaper than ICE cars. There is no point talking about 2030 or 2040 and hybrid car targets. The largest pre-order in the history of consumerism was the Model 3 and every car maker wants a piece of that. For many it doesn't suit them to move over until 2020 because of existing investments but after that they'll do what sells. If we are to give politicians any credit it will be California, not just with EV's but over the years, helping to make cars greener. And the European Parliament which has put strict new CO2 limits in place. Those along with China will drive the move initially, and after that it's down to consumers.   TESLA RAISES PRICES BY NEARLY 20 PERCENT IN CHINA In a response to President Trump's ongoing trade dispute between the U.S. and China, electric automaker Tesla has raised prices of its vehicles in the Chinese market around 20% China has called it the "biggest trade war in economic history." This will surely speed up investment in China by not only Tesla but all auto makers hit by tariffs.   OVER 18,000 EV'S FOR FRANCE SO FAR THIS YEAR "In France, the electric vehicle segment has surpassed 18,000 registrations since the beginning of 2018" reports Green Car Congress: "After a few subdued months, the electric passenger car market rose significantly in June. The Renault ZOE has maintained its lead and continues to carry registrations of electric passenger cars (60.90% of market share), In second place, the Nissan LEAF showed a rise of 143.01% with 469 vehicles. The BMW i3 retains third place with 182 new registrations, including 74 units equipped with a range extender."   http://www.greencarcongress.com/2018/07/20180709-avere.html   BMW i3 REVIEW: LIVING WITH THE ULTIMATE ELECTRIC CAR? Another one of those little things I like, seeing how mainstream press talk about EVs, we did this yesterday with the LEAF. Pocket-Lint have actually bought a BMW i3 this is no loan car to the press. "Stamp on the accelerator and the i3 gives you its first surprise – it feels truly quick, leaping forward with the kind of abandon that's usually the reserve of sports cars. But with almost no noise. Our own unscientific traffic light grand prix experiments over the past months actually suggests that it's as quick (or quicker) away from the lights than just about any other car on the road for the first 20 meters or so." And on the subject of regen: "after a while you start to actually think more about your driving, start to lift off the pedal a little earlier so you don't need to manually brake, and think ahead. In some ways, we think it's made us a better driver". On the topic of going back to a combustion car: "Getting back in a petrol or diesel car also genuinely feels old fashioned. The noise, the vibration, the changing gears, the stopping at fuel stations, the idling in traffic. All are relegated to the past in an electric car."   YOUTUBE DELIVERS FOR MORE NUBURGRING EV VIDEOS What did we do before YouTube was around so I could search for videos of test cars pounding around the Nurburging. Yesterday it was the Mercedes EQC and today another. This time it's the Porsche formerly known as the Mission E, now the Taycan, hitting the 12.9-mile Nordschleife. The debut is still set for early 2019, with production pencilled for mid-2019. By which point, in 12 months’ time, I will guarantee you Elon will not have been able to keep schtum about the new Roadster so we'll definitely have something to compare it to.   FORD HAS BIG ELECTRIC PLANS - BUT THEY'RE STILL JUST PLANS Ted Cannis, Ford's global director of battery electric vehicles, said during a recent interview with Engadget: "With (Ford CEO Jim) Hackett, we're all in. We're going to be bigger and we want to change the process. When it was compliance cars, there's nothing wrong with Ford Focus Electric. It's executed well. But, it's not too exciting. Let's make them awesome. Let's amplify what's best about that for that user group and really make awesome vehicles".   https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/09/ford-future-ev-interview/   GERMAN CARMAKERS LEFT RELIANT ON OTHERS FOR BATTERY CELLS Reuters had a story yesterday which did highlight the biggest issue for those luxury German car makers, despite knowing EV's have been coming for years: "Plans by a Chinese company to build a battery cell factory in Germany should serve as a wakeup call for the national car industry, whose lack of its own production capacity risks leaving it exposed in a dawning era of electric mobility." says Douglas Busvine for Reuters: "BMW has awarded a contract worth just over 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) for CATL to make cells for electric cars, while Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) has picked CATL and South Korea’s Samsung and LG Chem to deliver $25 billion worth of batteries."   https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-germany-china-batteries/german-carmakers-left-reliant-on-others-for-battery-cells-idUKKBN1JZ0C0?utm_source=applenews   TESLA GIGAFACTORY BATTERY TECH RISK IS A MYTH I missed this article from Saturday but I wanted to bring it to you from Christopher Arcus at Clean Technica, on the subject of advances in battery tech and whether Tesla is wrong to commit to the Gigafactory: "It is no secret that Tesla’s Gigafactory represents an important advantage in lowering battery cell costs and supplying battery cells for storage and electric vehicles. But its a myth that factory investment ties Tesla to one lithium battery technology. In fact, we know Tesla already produces both NCA and NMC cells at the Gigafactory, but even other tech (like solid-state batteries) is compatible with existing production equipment." And I wanted you to check it out because it's one of the argument the old auto makers use, that they're waiting for battery tech to improve or solid state batteries. When Elon announced the Tesla Semi and head of Daimler Trucks said the range and specs were against the laws of physics (I'm paraphrasing) unless Tesla knew something which Daimler didn't. And that's the thing, they do. Then at the shareholders meeting Elon said that was perhaps conservative, the Tesla Semi is already working out better than promised. As a pure electric car maker they spend every second of every day working out how to make battery tech better. Rather than behave like a car makers, with slick just-in-time supply chains and everything bought in, they've pushed the technology themselves rather than bought it in.   https://cleantechnica.com/2018/07/07/tesla-gigafactory-battery-tech-risk-is-a-myth/   ELON MUSK'S MUSKIEST MOMENTS OF 2018 And finally, something a little light hearted. And someone at Mashable has too much free time on their hands because they've been keeping tabs on the best of Elon Musk in 2018 - or they like to call the muskiest moments of the year. SpaceX had a monumental first successful launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket, The Tesla Roadster and its dummy astronaut, which reportedly disappeared into deep space Becoming the 'It' couple of the Met Gala with musician Grimes. There was the nerdy joke that brought them together, the memes the relationship spawned, and his own personal Grimes playlist. Selling Not A Flamethrowers - $500 each, and a rename to get round regulations In May Musk tweeted about creating a website that "would rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication. He filed a law suit against a former employee who admitted to installing malicious code on servers to leak private data to unnamed parties, and the press And finally - a farting unicorn.   https://mashable.com/2018/07/08/elon-musk-moments-of-2018-so-far/   COMMUNITY   You can listen to all previous 175 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Monday 9th July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   MERCEDES EQC SPIED TESTING AT THE NURBURGRING Someone ring the 'tesla killer' bell, we've got another another one. Mihnea Radu for autoevolution.com says: "Track testing at the Nurburgring is something most European companies do for the sake of both handling and reliability. It could be the edge Mercedes is looking for." and that's where the Mercedes EQC has been spotted again. "The EQC was previewed by the EQ concept about two years ago, and it's going to be launching in 2019 but presented this fall. By 2022, Daimler says it's going to have ten fully electric models (3 from smart), so if you're looking for something bigger, you won't have to wait much longer. The video was posted by Auto Motive Mike, it's 1min 27secs long and the EQC looks face, it's being driven really hard.   https://youtu.be/fyychtELGzs   ELON MUSK: “NORWEGIANS ARE RIGHT TO BE UPSET WITH TESLA.” Nora at electrive: "In Norway, where once Tesla was first to satisfy a stirring hunger for electric cars, Norwegians now complain about delays and slow service. Elon Musk has admitted problems but points to Norway’s regulation as being responsible. The issue may run deeper though. A report that ranked the electric carmaker fourth on Norway’s national list of company complaints. The Norwegian Consumer Council, a government-funded agency said it was contacted 118 times regarding Tesla this year, moving the company up from 24th place last year. Clients said they struggled to reach customer service and also complaint about late deliveries." Elon Musk in Twitter: "Norwegians are right to be upset with Tesla. We are having trouble expanding our service facilities in Oslo especially. Can solve quickly with Tesla mobile service vans, but awaiting govt permission to do so."   REPORT SAYS ELECTRIC CARS WILL MATCH ICE RANGE, REFILLING TIMES BY 2024 According to a new report in Australia EVs are on track to match the price and range of ICE sometime in 2024. "The forecast says that sales will grow slow for the next 10 years or so, before starting to take off in 2027. That’s the base scenario, without additional support" says Mark Kane for InsideEVs: "If the government introduces subsidies (manufacturers would be happy), sales will take off as early as 2021. Plug-in cars would take 50% market share by 2030 and 90% of entire fleet would be switched over to electric by 2050."   https://insideevs.com/report-says-electric-cars-will-match-ice-range-refilling-times-by-2024/   NISSAN LEAF: ‘MUCH MORE THAN SIMPLY A CAR WITH AN ELECTRIC MOTOR’ "One thing which will throw you is its e-Pedal. Flick this button and you can drive the car with one pedal. You press the throttle as usual but remove your foot and the car applies automatic regenerative braking. The quicker you lift your foot the heavier the braking" says Martin Love for a big a newspaper called the Guardian. It's interesting what the mainstream media says about EV'. He continues; "The Leaf swept up dozens of awards the moment it was launched – all well deserved. But the true measure of its standing in the automotive world is that it in no way feels like a gimmicky electric car. It feels like a real car for the real world. "   https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/jul/08/nissan-leaf-more-than-a-car-with-an-electric-motor   WHY TECH FOUNDERS GET HOT Finally an article to make you smile: "As founders become more successful, raking in billions, they can easily afford fashions, treatments, trainers and regimens that might make them hotter. Jack Dorsey clearly spends his hard-earned billions on grooming and fashion. Bezos may or may not have gotten a trainer and some high-quality human growth hormone. And Elon Musk probably shelled out for some really great hair plugs." The article not only mentions Elon but tracks Jeff Bezos & Jack Dorsey from geeks to pinups.   https//digg.com/2018/hot-tech-founders   COMMUNITY   You can listen to all previous 174 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Tuesday 19th June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   TESLA RESPONDS TO 'EXTRAORDINARILY UNUSUAL' FIRE I've steered away from this story because it really was just a random video on Twitter, and who knows the background. The Tesla Model S belonging to West Wing actress Mary McCormack. The video, posted to Twitter on Friday, shows the Tesla parked on the side of Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, with a small jet of flame shooting out from underneath it. It looks unlike every video I've ever seen of an EV fire and as you can imagine, if there's something online I'm more interested than most. Tesla have issued a statement: "This is an extraordinarily unusual occurrence, and we are investigating the incident to find out what happened. Our initial investigation shows that the cabin of the vehicle was totally unaffected by the fire due to our battery architecture, which is designed to protect the cabin in the very rare event that a battery fire occurs. While our customer had time to safely exit the car, we are working to understand the cause of the fire. We’re glad our customer is safe." Tesla has made 300,000 cars they've produced, which have travelled 7.5 billion miles and only five incidents of cars catching fire per billion miles travelled. S. Federal Highway Administration that shows there are 55 incidents of fire for every billion miles driven when looking at all automobiles in the country.   http://www.cbs8.com/story/38443215/west-wing-actress-mary-mccormack-says-husbands-tesla-caught-on-fire-out-of-nowhere-watch   MERCEDES EQ C IN NEW SPY SHOTS com has new spy shots of the Mercedes EQC, in what they call a near-production prototype, with the hanshtag switchtoEQ on. "The black and blue body cover has a contrasting splash of colour at the back where Mercedes slapped on a red strip all over the tailgate on the taillight level and we can see the tape is extending onto the rear fenders. Even though the body design still remains largely concealed underneath the wrap, the EQ C already looks substantially different than other three-pointed star SUVs, such as the similarly sized GLC for example." says Motor1: "The large mesh up front might trick you into believing the EQ C has a conventional grille, but being fully electric, it doesn’t need one. Pictured above, the concept had a panel mimicking the appearance of a traditional grille and we’re expecting the production-ready model to feature a similar look. At the back, the aforementioned red tape could be a clue suggesting the zero-emissions CUV will have a full-width light strip in the same vein as the showcar." Michael Kelz, Chief Engineer for the EQC, says: "“With the finishing straight in sight, we are now able to absolve another extremely demanding test programme with our pre-series vehicles. But after successfully completed endurance tests in winter at minus 35 degrees C, we are confident that the heat trials will confirm that we are well on schedule for the start of series production.”   https://www.motor1.com/news/249422/mercedes-eq-c-new-spy-photos/   MERCEDES A-CLASS HYBRID COULD GET ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN REAR AXLE Meanwhile, Anthony Karr writes about the new Mercedes A-Class and a new Plug In Hybrid for next year: "Autocar claims the hybridized powertrain of the A-Class PHEV will combine a 1.3-liter gasoline engine with 163 horsepower (121 kilowatts) and an electric motor on the rear axle, providing additional 90 hp (66 kW). This layout will basically turn the A-Class into an AWD vehicle, hence the A250e 4Matic predicted name." There's no full BEV A-Class plans I've read about, however if you apply the pattern for Mercedes, that would be an EQ A equivalent.   https://www.motor1.com/news/249433/mercedes-a-class-hybrid-details/   NISSAN FREEZES FUEL CELL CAR DEVELOPMENT "Nissan is halting its development of fuel cell cars. Company officials have concluded that demand for the vehicles is unlikely to take off anytime soon." according to NHK: "Nissan announced plans in 2013 to develop and mass-produce fuel cell cars with Daimler of Germany and Ford of the United States. But the company says high vehicle price tags and delays in setting up hydrogen stations have limited the market potential."   https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20180618_27/   KIA’S SOUL EV MODEL IS GETTING POPULAR Whenever I talk or tweet about the Kia Soul EV, or the Niro EV, or the Hyundai Kona EV, it gets a reaction. Those Korean cars are finding a fair few fans around the world. "Kia Motors said Sunday that seven out of 10 Soul models of cars it sold in Korea in the January-May period were electric vehicle variants, with overall local sales jumping 13 percent from a year earlier. "Gasoline and diesel-powered Soul models are also available in the domestic market, but they were outpaced by the EV version in terms of sales due to a growing demand for environmentally friendly vehicles."   http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=3049443   SECOND RENAULT ELECTRIC VEHICLE EXPERIENCE CENTRE Following their experience centre opening in Stockholm, Renault have opened their second experience centre, in Germany, based in a busy shopping centre. According to Sebastian Blanco at Forbes: "here are digital and static displays that give information about EVs and the purpose of the store, "is to engage with customers and answer frequently asked questions about electric cars, while promoting the benefits of driving such vehicles," the company says. Test drives and vehicle orders can be arranged at the new store as well." "Given that Nissan is the electric vehicle sales leader, and that it is part of the same corporate alliance with Renault, would a collection of EV-only storefronts make sense in America? They wouldn't necessarily be able to sell the Leaf there, given our auto dealer laws, but Tesla has had success spreading the EV news with its stores and that's a mission that would undoubtedly help sell more Leafs through normal retail channels."   https://www.forbes.com/sites/sebastianblanco/2018/06/18/nissan-renault-ev-only-store/   JAPAN NEDO LAUNCHES $90M SOLID-STATE BATTERY PROJECT "Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) has launched the second phase of a major solid-state Li-ion battery project in a quest to achieve both high energy density and safety in batteries for electric vehicles" reports Green Car Congress: "The project ultimately aims to lower the battery pack cost to around ¥10,000/ kWh ($90/kWh) by around 2030—about one-third the cost for existing lithium-ion batteries. The research also targets a fast-charge time of 10 minutes, also around one-third of that needed for lithium-ion batteries."   http://www.greencarcongress.com/2018/06/20180617-nedosslib.html   ZERO ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE UK DEMO TOUR Last weekend, on Sunday, San Francisco's Zero Motorcycles started an eight stop tour across the UK, giving riders a chance to test ride the company’s latest model range, reports RideApart.com, on InsideEVs "One of the biggest obstacles electric motorcycle manufacturers have to overcome isn’t merely churning out a quality product, but convincing the public to actually give eBikes a try. With the electric powertrain’s full torque always on tap at any point, eBikes are a lot more fun to pilot than most would expect" “Riding a Zero is quite an experience so we’ve decided to go out and take our bikes to the people, to give them an opportunity to try one for themselves,” explains Zero’s UK Country Manager, Dale Robinson. “Lots of people have preconceptions about electric motorcycles but I’ve never met anyone yet who didn’t come back from a test ride with a smile on their face. There’s no hard sell, just an opportunity for riders to ask any questions they may have, take one out for a ride and make up their own minds on electric motorcycles.” June 24 North Yorkshire, June 27 Hampshire, July 21 & 22 Northumberland, August 18 Scotland, August 19 Scotland and September 19 Surrey.   https://insideevs.com/zero-electric-motorcycle-demo-tour-starts-today-in-uk/   NORWAY’S FIRST ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT TO TAKE OFF ON MONDAY And finally, yesterday you and I were talking about the Jaguar powerboat. Now Norway’s first electric aircraft is 6 days away from take off. The electric aircraft, an Alpha Electro G2 produced in Slovenia, is scheduled to take off from Oslo Airport on Monday afternoon. The plane can carry two passengers and takes two hours to charge. Anja Bakken Riise of Norwegian environmentalist NGO Future in Our Hands says: “Unnecessary flights contribute to damaging the world’s climate through enormous carbon dioxide emissions. This aircraft shows it is possible to fly on electricity. The point of the flight is to show it's possible"   COMMUNITY Le Mans hybrid batteries.   You can listen to every previous episode of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Wednesday 16th May 2018. AUDI E-TRON LOOKS ALMOST PRODUCTION-READY IN NEW SPY PHOTOS Motor 1 has got hold of new spy shots of the forthcoming Audi e-tron quattro, and as were about 3 months away from seeing it on 30th August, it's pretty much finished. Motor 1 says: "Our talented spy photographers have sent us this batch of shots with a near production prototype of the EV, undergoing testing in southern Germany. Under the clothes will be an electric propulsion, which will produce somewhere in the region of 435 horsepower (320 kilowatts). What’s more important, the vehicle will be able to travel up to 248.5 miles (400 kilometers) at a single charge." The battery is 95kWh, and my take from the pics, it's very similar to the Mercedes EQC and the Jaguar I-PACE. There will always be comparisons to the Tesla Model X but it looks more compact.   BMW GROUP PASSES 250,000 MILESTONE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON THE ROAD "BMW Group has reached the major milestone of 250,000 of its electric vehicles being on the road around the world. Announcing its sales figures for April following a record-breaking first quarter, the German automotive giant revealed that it had shipped nearly 10,000 EVs in that month alone, pushing it past the quarter of a million mark." according to BusinessChief. "We are delighted to announce that there are now over a quarter of a million electrified BMW Group vehicles on the world’s roads,” said Pieter Nota, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Sales and Brand BMW. "Combined sales of BMW i, BMW iPerformance and MINI Electric vehicles were up 52% in April (9,831). We are well on track to deliver on our stated target to sell over 140,000 electrified vehicles this year."   'MILD HYBRID' KIA SPORTAGE DUE LATER THIS YEAR 48v mild hybrids are an attractive way for car makers to add some electrification without the expense of a hybrid or plug in hybrid system, whilst doing enough to lower the MPG. Kia look like they'll be doing that to their Sportage in the second half of this year reports Fleetworld: "The technology includes a compact 48-volt battery under the boot floor, charged using energy recuperated through a motor-generator connected to the engine’s crankshaft. It means the engine can switch off earlier and for longer, even while the car is moving, and lean on a 13bhp power boost from the motor while accelerating, both of which reduce fuel consumption."   TESLA MODEL 3 TRAVELS 515.7 MILES ON SINGLE CHARGE IN HYPERMILE RU We love a good story of hypermiling. Being very gentle with your right foot and possibly following trucks too closely which we don't recommend. And Teslarati have picked up on this "A Tesla Model 3 driven by Denver Tesla Club president Sean M. Mitchell just set a hypermile record, traveling 515.7 miles (830 km) on a single charge. The trip, which lasted 18 hours, started from Denver, CO and ended in Topeka, KS." He did it at 30mph, Chill mode was on and regen was on low. And of course you wouldn't try this attempt without the Model 3 Aero Wheels. @SeamMMitchell: "515.7 mi (830 km): Though well short of intentions, great to set the benchmark for longest hypermile in a #Tesla #Model3. The last 100 mi really cut into range (poor route planning). Decided to play it safe and stop early."   LEAKED EMAIL SAYS TESLA MAY HAVE HUGE BURST OF MODEL 3 PRODUCTION THIS WEEK CNBC reports on another email from Elon Musk. Now we know what he meant by Tesla being a leaky sieve of information. "The email said it is "quite likely" Tesla will make more than 500 Model 3 cars per day this week, which would be a 75 percent increase over last month, Electrek said. Tesla was not immediately available for comment. Musk also asked employees to identify any production bottlenecks."   CHINA'S FAW TO INVEST $260M IN BYTON "Chinese state-owned carmaker FAW Group has agreed to invest around $260 million in China-backed electric car start-up Byton as part of an ongoing series-B funding round, two people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Tuesday." says Norihiko Shirouzu for Reuters. "The deal was signed over the weekend in Nanjing where Byton is building its headquarters and production facilities as well as a technology centre, they said. Byton is looking to raise a total of about $500 million in the round."   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Thursday 10th May 2018. FULLY CHARGED DRIVE MERCEDES EQC Only yesterday I was talking about a 1min long YouTube video, all shaky and blurry, showing the Mercedes EQC. With me like a numpty going on about how the bonnet looks too long for an EV. And then a few hours later Fully Charged released 20 mins of gorgeousness as Jonny Smith got in the passenger seat. As they say: "Jonny Smith goes for a ride in the Mercedes-Benz EQC. This SUV is the first Mercedes EV to be built from the ground up and it will the first of the new range of electrified cars to be announced later this year. The EQC is still in testing so this is a very early look at what is to come in the near future." Jonny's style is SO good, relaxed and asking the odd cheeky question, getting bits of info out of PR people who are notoriously tight lipped. I was talking to someone recently about him, someone I know who work on car magazine, and I was saying how Johnny is the best of the best when it comes to telling the story of a car...and then my friend tells me Jonny used to work for him on a magazine. And yes, he also confirmed, he's a bit of a legend. Anyway away from my mancrush and back to the Mercedes EQC. I’m about to say a couple of details from the vid, so if you’d rather, stop the podcast now. Johnny started off by saying it was their first proper EV, which I’ve said before, and got corrected by a very generous listener - rather than telling me I am an idiot, he sent me a pic of his B250. So yes, this isn't Mercedes first EV. Things we learn from the video, it's a 70kWh pack which seems small They want 500km or 310miles from that, which sounds optimistic? That would be 14kWh per 100km. The Model X is something like 380km with a pack 5kWh larger. The person who was doing the driving and most of the talking was the lead engineer, which was refreshing, as he wasn't a typical PR media type with a perfect answer which says a lot without saying anything, everything he said has value. Typical engineer. And bear in mind English is not his first language. Talking about the engineer who was driving it, he kept stabbing the accelerator and giving Jonny that burst of EV power, and every time he did it gave a little smile. Yesterday on the podcast I commented that the bonnet is too long, they could make it smaller and just have a crash structure, which makes more room for the cabin. That was explained because the platform will be used for electric, hybrid and gas. Under the hood or bonnet is a cradle that fits where the combustion engine fits, so Mercedes can use the same production line and drop in the powertrain. And…Jonny ends up on his hand and knees. But I won’t spoilt THAT surprise. Finally if you haven’t been watching Fully Charged, go onto YouTube, go back a few years and see Robert talking about trying to cajole PR departments to return calls or play ball with lending him vehicles. Fast forward and they have the best videos than any TV show, a live event soon and a massive Patreon supporter base. Huge congrats to Robert, Jonny, Mark, Dan and the team for creating a great channel. It's another gorgeous video with some classy tracking shots and they've got the drone up. BMW WIRELESS CAR CHARGING COMING SOON Car Magazine reports that BMW will debut it's wireless charging in July this year, and it's set to work with BMW PHEV's. The Car Magazine article says: "BMW sources told CAR today (May 8) that the tech is indeed headed for our market, and will be available exclusively on a leasing deal with a 5-series 530e iPerformance. To start with, that is". Wireless charging can be as good as a home Level 2 charger at 7.7kW, although this BMW systen works at 3.5kW for a full charge in 3-4hrs. There's leeway on being over the charging pad but cameras will guide into you the correct position. Well worth following CAR on socials, they are some of the best out there for great content.  GOVERNMENT APPROVES GREEN LICENCE PLATES FOR E-VEHICLES In India they have confirmed green plates for EVs, private electric cars and EV cabs. "The purpose behind distinctive number plates is their easy identification for preferential treatment in parking, free entry in congested zones besides other proposed benefits like concessional toll, the road transport" says MoneyControl.com. This is what we need here for ICE cars parking in electric charging bays. If we all had green plates and legislation to keep EVs in certain spaces, it would mean those ICE cars would get tickets or towed. THE 'DRY ANALYST' WANTS ROUND TWO WITH ELON Dry Dave wants another go with Elon. I didn't actually catch the name of the analyst on the Tesla earning call who got cut off by Elon for asking a dry question, so we'll call him Dry Dave for now. I’ll Google him whilst talking. Anyway, he's p'eed off. And you don't want an upset analyst because, well, who knows what they do? Anyway, now Dry Dave has written an open letter to Elon - which sounds a bit needy already - he says "I continue to hold Tesla accountable for implementing a strategic vision that aligns with an ability to execute at scale. Name the time and place and I will be there, along with every one of your major shareholders." He's also sent Elon a set of written questions which I imagine he'll hope are more...I don’t know…wet? Somehow I don't think Elon will even give this a second of his time. Ah here we are, his name is Joseph Spek apparently. Spekky! I wouldn't hold your breath for that call Super Speks. GERMANY'S MERKEL SEES CHANCE FOR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERY PRODUCTION IN EUROPE German Chancellor Angela Merkel said yesterday that German car makers are moving into a better position for battery production. The actual cells inside batteries all come from South Korea or China. Volkswagen-owned truck maker Scania said earlier this year it is investing 10m Euro as part of a 4bn Euro project to build Europe's biggest battery cell plant in northern Sweden. ONE THIRD OF IRISH DRIVERS PLAN TO BUY A FULL-ELECTRIC CAR IN NEAR FUTURE Yesterday we told you how 50million, or 20% of Americans are considering an EV for their next car. Now the Irish Mirror says: "One in three Irish motorists planning on buying a new car in the near future will go for a full-electric vehicle, according to a new survey. A total of 37% of people questioned said they will buy an electrified car next time around." NEW LAW TO SEE ELECTRIC CARS MAKE MORE NOISE "From July 2019, all new electric and hybrid vehicles sold in Europe must be equipped with sound devices. Older electric cars must also be retrofitted with sound devices by 2021" says Garage Wire. Kevin Clinton of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said: “The greatest risks associated with electric vehicles are when they are travelling at low speeds, such as in urban areas with lower limits, as the noise from tyres and the road surface, and aerodynamic noise, are minimal at those speeds" But you do still have eyes. I do think we need to consider those who are visually impaired. But making every single car emit white noise is going to be irritating. Driving around a city you never get another 20mph, and with the windows down, your EV would actually be louder than an ICE car. Multiply that by every other car on the road. All we’ll hear is buzzes and beeps and white noise. I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Thursday 26th April 2018. BMW iX3 TO BE MADE IN, AND EXPORTED FROM, CHINA The biggest car launch today was technically a concept, but let’s report on it because it’s such big news. The massively popular BMW X3 is finally confirmed as being an electric model, the iX3. And equally as big news, it is set to be made in China and be exported to USA and Europe. And it’s very similar to the X3 apart from BMW playing around with the kidney style grill. It will enter production in 2020 and is the first example I can think of to be a luxury upmarket car made in China and exported. What happened to quality only coming from Germany? And BMW sell a lot of SUV in North America so it’s a calculated risk, and means a lot for their reputation. They already make the plug in Z1 in China. The iX3 will have a range of 400km which is 250miles, but there’s no direction on whether. For comparison the new 40kWh Nissan LEAF has a 150mile EPA range. And it’s a strong effort to go up against the Jaguar I-PACE, the Audi e-tron Quattro, the Mercedes EQC crossover due next year in 2019. So smart money is on a 70kWh battery pack, and they’ve confirmed 150kW charge speeds. The motor is a very reasonable 200kW of power. The platform will come with battery packs from 60kWh to 120kWh depending on the needs of performance. Electrive say: “The core of the iX3 is very compact. The fifth generation eDrive contains the electric motor, transmission and performance electronics in one component. A further novelty is the fact that the electric motor was designed without using any rare-earth metals. Added to this development, are the new battery specs, which have improved performance characteristics, range, size and flexibility, according to the manufacturer.”   NISSAN’S LEAF WHICH IS A SYLPHY A new car was launched by Nissan yesterday – welcome to the world the Nissan Sylphy. From the front it’s a LEAF, from the back it’s a pretty generic sedan, from the side, it’s a LEAF-and-a-bit on the back. It’s Nissan’s first EV built for China and yes it does share the LEAF platform. Based on the Chinese cycle it’s good for 210 miles or 340kms. That sounds to me like the 40kWh AESC batteries and not the new larger 60kWh LG Chem batteries, because surely that range would be higher. Given that the Chinese standards are more forgiving than the EPA. It does feature the e-Pedal technology which has everyone impressed. It will be on sale this year. But will we see it in the US? Will we see it in Europe like the BMW? Nope. I would expect it to be very cheap however based on comments from Carlos Ghosn that even their own Nissan LEAF is too expensive for the Chinese market.   VOLVO XC40 PHEV Volvo was the first major name to say all their cars will be electrified by 2019, and now they’ve said half of its annual, worldwide sales will be electric cars within 7 years. And a lot can happen in 7 years! 2025 is the year when China wants 7 million electric cars being sold a year that’s 20% of all sales. We’ve seen the XC40 T5 Plug-in Hybrid at Auto China 2018 in Beijing, in their No.1 market in China. It has a 1.5litre three-cylinder engine coupled with the electric motor, and of course can run on electricity only, but we don’t know how far. At the show Volvo are only showing off cars with plugs – those being the XC40, 60 and 90. Volvo’s owner Geely has developed the powertrain which is also set to be used in Lynk&Co models, and for Geely’s own models in China. Autocar say: “Three main drive modes will be available with the T5 model: Hybrid, Power and Pure. The first will work to most efficiently combine both parts of the powertrain, while power will maximise the output of both. The final will harness only the electric motor.”   HONDA EVERUS CONCEPT In Beijng Honda has shown off another concept, and another stunner. The Everus – a mass produced B segment car for the Chinese market. Again the show in China is being used to show off the body and styling without any firm details of the drivetrain but it’s due to be in the hands of customers this year, and built by a joint venture, as is the deal with China, with GAC Group.   TOYOTA WILL HAVE TO GET SOME PLUGS Toyota might be famous for running ad campaigns saying we don’t believe in plugging in our hybrids, but someone forgot to tell the engineers. That’s because the Corolla and Levin are being shown off at Auto China 2018 to be on sale next year, and a full BEV in 2020. A full BEV for Toyota? But only for China! It’s based on the C-HR compact SUV. The Chinese partner for Toyota is GAC. The plug ins are said to do 50kms on pure electric alone, obviously made in China. These are the start of 10 new models, and also a R&D centre in China, to move forward with pure battery tech.   NEW BRAND FOR VW Volkswagen has launched a new car brand at Auto China called SOL, and the first car under that, the E20X. And again it’s the lovechild of VW with a domestic maker, JAC. Like the Honda it will be on sale this year, taking same parts of the JAC iEV7S, running 186 miles on one charge, it has smart charging, self-parking and luxuries like parking cameras.   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.
