Wim ist Gründer und CEO von Micro Mobility. Vor 25 Jahren hat er mit dem Micro Scooter die urbane Mobilität neu erfunden. Bis heute wurden seine Roller weltweit über 90 Millionen Mal verkauft und sind mittlerweile aus unseren Städten nicht mehr wegzudenken.Das Familienunternehmen mit Sitz in Küsnacht bei Zürich bietet heute über 50 Mobilitätsprodukte an – erfolgreich in über 80 Ländern.Doch Wim hat sich nie auf seinem Erfolg ausgeruht. Gemeinsam mit seinen Söhnen Oliver und Merlin hat er den Microlino entwickelt – ein vollelektrisches Mini-Stadtauto im Retro-Design. Seit 2022 auf dem Markt, will der Microlino ein Umdenken in Sachen nachhaltiger Mobilität anstossen. Sein CO₂-Fussabdruck liegt bei nur rund einem Drittel eines herkömmlichen Elektroautos.Micro wurde unter Wims Leitung mehrfach ausgezeichnet – unter anderem 2020 von Fast Company als eines der fünf innovativsten Unternehmen Europas.----KAPITEL(00:00) Intro: Wim Ouboter(01:22) Urban Mobility(09:02) Produktentwicklung(11:12) Wim's Werdegang(19:39) Erfinder vs. Unternehmer(28:22) China ist die Zukunft(33:53) Entwicklung des Microlino Autos(40:07) Finanzierung von Grossprojekten(46:52) Startupförderung in Europa(54:19) Microlino Modelle(56:37) Zukunft der Mikromobilität(01:06:08) Family Business: Söhne Oliver und Merlin(01:12:06) Positives Denken(01:16:45) Challenge für die Zuhörer-----LINKS UND RESSOURCEN- Micro Mobility - micro-mobility.com- Microlino Car - microlino-car.com--------

In der aktuellen Podcast-Folge hatte ich das Vergnügen, mit Merlin Ouboter, Mitgründer von Microlino, über die Zukunft der Mikromobilität und die Herausforderungen in der Automobilindustrie zu sprechen. Microlino setzt mit seinen leichten Elektrofahrzeugen auf eine Alternative zum klassischen Pkw und sieht sich als Vorreiter in der L6E- und L7E-Kategorie. Seit Ende 2022 wird der kleine City-Flitzer produziert und erfreut sich wachsender Beliebtheit. Ein zentrales Thema unseres Gesprächs war die politische Vernachlässigung der Mikromobilität. „Es kann nicht sein, dass ein Zwei-Tonnen-SUV von Emissionscredits profitiert, während wir mit unseren effizienten und ressourcenschonenden Fahrzeugen nicht einbezogen werden,“ betonte Merlin. Microlino kämpft dafür, dass leichte Elektroautos in die Berechnungen der Flottenemissionen aufgenommen werden. Ein solcher Schritt würde nicht nur für faire Wettbewerbsbedingungen sorgen, sondern könnte auch den Preis für Endkunden senken. Auch das Thema Kaufprämien war ein Diskussionspunkt. In Deutschland wurde die Fahrzeugklasse von Microlino bisher nicht gefördert, während in Frankreich, Italien, Spanien oder Österreich bereits angepasste Fördermodelle existieren. „Wenn Förderungen auf EU-Ebene kommen, dann bitte nicht nach deutschem Vorbild, wo wir komplett ausgeschlossen sind,“ so Merlin. Denn neben finanziellen Vorteilen geht es auch um die Anerkennung von Mikromobilität als ernsthafte Alternative. Die Effizienz von Microlino überzeugt: „Unser Fahrzeug wiegt inklusive Passagiere weniger als die Batterie eines Elektro-SUVs. Das zeigt, wie viel Ressourcen und Energie wir sparen,“ erklärte Merlin. Mit einem Verbrauch von 7,5 kWh auf 100 km liegt der Microlino in einem Bereich, der mit dem Energieverbrauch eines Bahnreisenden vergleichbar ist. Ein weiteres Thema war die Stärkung europäischer Produktion. Statt höherer Importzölle auf chinesische Fahrzeuge setzt Microlino auf eine gezielte Förderung für in Europa gefertigte Autos. „Wenn chinesische Marken hier Standorte aufbauen, sollten sie genauso profitieren. Das wäre ein fairer Ansatz,“ so Merlin. Der Blick in die Zukunft zeigt, dass Microlino weiterhin für eine faire Behandlung der Mikromobilität kämpfen wird. Sollte das Thema beim anstehenden EU-Autogipfel erneut ignoriert werden, ist sogar eine Petition in Planung. „Am liebsten wären uns eigentlich keine Subventionen für niemanden – dann wäre es wirklich fair. Aber solange es sie gibt, sollte Mikromobilität nicht außen vor bleiben,“ betonte Merlin abschließend. Nun aber genug der Vorworte, lasst uns direkt in das Gespräch einsteigen.

Een nieuw Nederlands investeringsfonds van een half miljard euro moet de overstap naar uitstootvrije stadslogistiek gaan aanjagen. En je hoort een rijtest in de Microlino Lite. Meindert ging een dikke week op pad met het guitige elektrische stadsvoertuig. Investeringsfonds Er komt een nieuw investeringsfonds van 500 miljoen euro om bedrijven te ondersteunen bij de overstap naar uitstootvrije stadslogistiek. Het 'e-mobility & infrastructure fund' is een initiatief van Jan-Willem König, partner bij Polestar Capital. Microlino Lite Naast de 90 km/h-versie levert Microlino, maker van de opvallende elektrische stadsvoertuigen, nu ook een 45 km/h-variant. Meindert kreeg de beschikking over de Microlino Lite en pendelde een dikke week tussen Amsterdam en Amstelveen. Contact Wil je in contact komen met de redactie van BNR Mobility?

Im aktuellen Podcast spreche ich mit Heinz Lamprecht, Directeur Commercial von Softcar, einem Unternehmen, das sich auf leichte Elektrofahrzeuge spezialisiert hat. Unser Gespräch drehte sich um die Besonderheiten des Softcar, seine nachhaltige Bauweise und die strategischen Pläne für die Zukunft. Softcar verfolgt einen radikal simplen Ansatz: Reduktion auf das Wesentliche. Das Fahrzeug wiegt inklusive Batterie nur 640 Kilogramm und kommt mit lediglich 1800 Komponenten aus – im Vergleich zu rund 45.000 bei einem herkömmlichen Auto. „Wir haben bewusst viel Elektronik weggelassen. Spurassistent, Abstandwarner oder gar ein Radio – das alles gibt es nicht, um das Auto so einfach und wartungsarm wie möglich zu halten“, erklärt Heinz. Das Resultat ist ein erschwingliches, robustes und langlebiges Fahrzeug, das ohne Hightech-Gadgets auskommt. Technisch gesehen ist das Softcar ein Leichtfahrzeug der L7E-Klasse mit einer Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 92 km/h. Die Reichweite beträgt etwa 200 Kilometer, mit einer optionalen Range-Extender-Variante, die weitere 100 Kilometer ermöglicht. Die kompakte 15-kWh-Batterie kann an jeder Haushaltssteckdose in wenigen Stunden aufgeladen werden – eine simple Lösung, die teure Schnellladesäulen überflüssig macht. Fairerweise aber auch aus dem Grund, dass der Akku die Leistung gar nicht annehmen könnte. Ein weiteres Alleinstellungsmerkmal ist die modulare Bauweise. „Das Auto besteht aus fünf Hauptmodulen, die sich wie ein Lego-Set zusammensetzen lassen“, sagt Heinz. Das Chassis besteht aus recyceltem Aluminium, während die Karosserie aus einem widerstandsfähigen, recycelbaren Kunststoff gefertigt ist. Diese innovative Bauweise macht das Softcar besonders nachhaltig. Selbst bei Hagelschäden oder kleineren Remplern in der Stadt bleibt die Außenhaut intakt – ideal für enge Parkverhältnisse, wie man sie in Frankreich oder Italien kennt. Auch wirtschaftlich setzt Softcar auf ein ungewöhnliches Konzept: Statt einer zentralisierten Massenproduktion sollen kleine Montagehallen nahe urbaner Zentren entstehen, um Transportwege zu minimieren. „Wir wollen nicht in einer riesigen Fabrik in Nordafrika produzieren und die Autos dann nach Europa verschiffen. Unser Ziel ist es, lokale Fertigungen aufzubauen“, erklärt Heinz. Preislich soll das E-Fahrzeug unter 20.000 Euro starten – eine direkte Konkurrenz zum Microlino, jedoch mit mehr Platz: Softcar bietet vier Sitze und einen großzügigen Kofferraum, der laut Heinz „locker sechs Bierkisten fasst“. Zudem ist das Fahrzeug auf eine Laufleistung von 1,6 Millionen Kilometern ausgelegt – ein Wert, den kein anderes Serienauto derzeit erreicht. Der Vergleich zum Microlino hinkt dann aber doch ein wenig.  Die ersten Fahrzeuge mit EU-Zulassung stehen bereit, eine Vorserie ist geplant. Parallel arbeitet das Team an der Homologation des Range Extenders. Wo die Produktion startet, ist noch offen, aber Softcar hat bereits internationale Interessenten. Nun aber genug der Vorworte – lasst uns direkt ins Gespräch einsteigen.

Los automóviles pasan la mayor parte de su vida parados. Cuando sus propietarios no los utilizan, aportan nulos beneficios e incluso producen gastos generales. Pero no debe ser así necesariamente, existen fórmulas para obtener ingresos del coche cuando no se usan, gracias a plataformas dedicadas al alquiler entre particulares. La industria de la automoción vive tiempo convulsos. A las incertidumbres de la electrificación se ha unido ahora una crisis comercial entre Europa y China, que podría derivar en aranceles perjudiciales para los compradores. Analizamos la situación y sus posibles consecuencias. La prueba de la semana la protagoniza un coche realmente especial como es el Microlino, un urbano que no pasa desapercibido.

Le innovazioni tecnologiche legate all’automotive stanno spostando il baricentro dall’hardware al software, dal veicolo alla piattaforma attorno alla quale lo stesso viene costruito. I servizi digitali rivestono un’importanza fondamentale anche nella scelta del tipo di mobilità e nella personalizzazione dell’esperienza di guida e nei prossimi anni l’intelligenza artificiale comporterà un ripensamento dell’intera filiera, finalizzato a ridurre i costi e accelerare la produzione – spiega Teodoro Lio, Responsabile mercato Consumer & Manufacturing di Accenture. Distribuita dal gruppo Koelliker, storico importatore di brand asiatici in Italia, dopo una breve assenza torna in Italia Mitsubishi, che presenta due importanti novità: la monovolume Colt e il suv Asx. Un settore in continua crescita è quello della micromobilità sostenibile, per il quale proponiamo la Microlino, una piccola citycar elettrica a due posti interamente made in Italy, che unisce un look retro accattivante ad una tecnologia all’avanguardia – commenta Giuseppe Lovascio, Chief Strategic Officer di Koelliker.

Als Generationsunternehmen innovativ bleiben ist wichtiger denn je. Das weiß kein Geringerer als Oliver Ouboter von Micromobility Systems. Einst gründete sein Vater das Unternehmen, heute setzt er weiterhin auf Innovationen in der Mobilität. Wie es von einem angedachten PR-Gag zum großen Durchbruch des Microlino kam, berichtet er bei "Technik aufs Ohr".

Avec l'explosion de la mobilité électrique, les véhicules sans permis se réinventent, à l'image de la petite Citroën Ami, qui remporte un grand succès. Il faudra désormais compter sur la Microlino, un véhicule 2 places, aux capacités de recharge étonnantes, et au gabarit vraiment riquiqui.

En la evolución de la movilidad, la legislación ha dado paso a una nueva categoría de vehículos: los microcoches o cuadriciclos, que se dividen en dos subcategorías, L6e y L7e. Los cuadriciclos ligeros (L6e) tienen una velocidad máxima de 45 km/h y pueden ser conducidos con el permiso AM. Con un peso de hasta 350 kg y una potencia máxima de 4 kW, estos vehículos poseen una matrícula amarilla de ciclomotor y su circulación se limita a áreas urbanas. Por otro lado, los cuadriciclos pesados (L7e) pueden alcanzar los 90 km/h y requieren el permiso de conducir B. Su peso máximo es de 400 kg y su potencia llega hasta 15 kW, permitiéndoles circular por diversos tipos de vías. En relación a la normativa, se ha hablado del permiso B1 que aún no se ha implementado. Además, existe un permiso AM especial para microcoches. La pregunta surge: ¿por qué los L7e no pueden ser conducidos con el permiso A1 destinado a motos de 125 cc? En términos de seguridad, estos vehículos solo requieren cinturón de seguridad, ya que muchos carecen de airbags. Considerando la falta de protección lateral, algunos argumentan a favor de implementar el uso de cascos de tipo jet. La historia de los microcoches no es nueva; ejemplos como el biscuter, BMW ISSETA y el Piaggio APE han existido antes. Aunque se presentan como opciones modernas y ecológicas, la falta de seguridad en comparación con los autos convencionales cuestiona su verdadera utilidad y resiliencia. En términos de movilidad, estos vehículos sirven como scooters urbanos y son especialmente prácticos para la distribución de mercancías en áreas urbanas. Sin embargo, sus limitadas autonomías plantean desafíos en su adopción masiva. En comparación con las motos, aunque son más ágiles que los automóviles, pueden carecer de la fluidez del tráfico de motocicletas. El público objetivo varía, desde jóvenes con recursos económicos que aún no han considerado las motos, hasta usuarios de carsharing urbano y repartidores de última milla. En cuanto a su precio medio, oscilan entre 10,000 y 14,000 euros, superando considerablemente el costo de las motos y acercándose a los segmentos A de autos. En el mercado, se encuentran modelos como el Renault Twizy, Citroën Ami, Silence S04, XEV Yoyo, e-Aixam, Microlino (de pasajeros), y Scoobic, Piaggio APE (de carga). Entre las curiosidades, se destaca que por pequeñas diferencias no es posible homologar un SEAT 600 como cuadriciclo ligero. Además, el Silence S04, un microcoche español, se presenta con un sistema de recarga novedoso y un práctico maletero de 280 litros. Así, los microcoches representan una alternativa de movilidad que ha evolucionado bajo regulaciones específicas y desafíos particulares, atrayendo diversos públicos y planteando cuestionamientos sobre seguridad y eficacia en la vida moderna.

This week Oliver interviews Oliver Ouboter, one of the founders of MicroLino, who are producing one of the most beautiful cars that we have seen in the neighbourhood electric vehicle space – the thing is an electric version of the iconic BMW Ysetta from the mid 1950s. We really loved this interview for a few reasons - firstly, because the operators – Oliver and his father Whim were the OGs of the Micromobility space – setting up a company literally called Micromobility back in the early 2000s and producing the first kick scooters and then subsequently some of the first electric kick scooter's. Secondly, anybody who is producing small electric vehicles at any sort of scale deserves to be congratulated – it has been quite the journey for them, especially as they have done it entirely self-funded of the back of their original acoustic and electric scooter business. We have really enjoyed getting to know Oliver and are looking forward to hopefully having him at Micromobility Europe in June. Speaking of which if you are interested in the latest in lightweight electric vehicles, including neighborhood electric vehicles like this and everything in between you will absolutely love Micromobility Europe. It is the show we are most excited about in terms of what we've done in our history of producing shows at Micromobility industries and we are sure you would have an absolute blast coming and hanging out with our team and more than 1000 others as we talk about the future of what these vehicles might enable for our cities. I will be running a start-up stage with more than 60 companies expected to patch – it is going to be pandemonium– and I can't wait. Get your tickets at Micromobility.IO.

In an age where gas-powered vehicles account for nearly half of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, electric vehicles are a way to help slow global warming. Over the last decade, the EV industry grew by leaps and bounds and Tesla has arguably done more for the industry than any other company. But the next big thing for EVs… might be making them smaller.In this episode, Wally Rippel remembers gazing out his classroom window at the air pollution hanging over LA one smoggy day and how that led to building what would become GM's infamous EV1. Then Wim Ouboter recalls how his homemade push scooter started a chain of events that inspired him to build a miniature electric bubble car named the Microlino.In 1968, Wally converted an old VW microbus to electric drive and raced it across the country. By 1990, he was designing the prototype for the world's first commercially available electric vehicle of the modern era. It had the design, it had the buzz. But most EV1s ended up in the crusher and some believe GM sabotaged their own project.Wim's Microlino is an extension of the work done by Wally and other EV pioneers. It embodies the ‘micro-mobility' philosophy he first imagined while building his scooter empire and has environmental benefits that bigger EV's can't match.For more information, visit setapp.com/podcast

Das Gelingen der Mobilitätswende ist einer der wichtigsten Faktoren für uns, um den Klimawandel noch in den Griff zu bekommen. Mein Gast in diesem Futurecast, Dr. Hans-Peter Kleebinder was viele Jahre für namhafte deutsche Autokonzerne (BMW, Audi) tätig und hat parallel wissenschaftlich an der Universität in St. Gallen geforscht. Seine langjährige Expertise in beiden Bereichen, machen ihn zu einem sehr kompetenten und interessanten Gesprächspartner für unser Thema in diesem Podcast. Wir erfahren was es mit der „Mobility as a Service“ auf sich hat und wie die gute alte BMW Isetta mit dem Microlino zu neuem Ruhm kommen kann. Multimodalität bei der Mobilität, wobei Smart Mobility „überhaupt nichts mit Lustverzicht“ zu tun haben muss. Ein sehr spannender und überaus aktueller Futurecast, der ein durchaus optimistisches Bild für unsere Mobilität im Jahr 2050 beschreibt. #2050 #2050futurepodcast #2050futurecast #marcusnettelbeck #hanspeterkleebinder #kleebinder #smartmobility #nachhaltigkeit #mobilitätswende #multimodal #microlino #isetta #15minutecity #mobilityasaservice #mas #universitaetstgallen #bmw #mini #audi #hpk #cassmm #hpkleebinder #smartmobilityunisg

Show #1479…(headline story). Stick around and we'll get you up to speed! Well…Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, your trusted source of EV information. It's Thursday 26th May, my penultimate day of hosting the show. I'm Blake Boland, and I've gone through every EV story today so that you don't have to! Watch Lucid Air Set New Hypermiling Record Of 687 Miles - The Lucid Air Dream Edition Range remains the world's longest-range production car, with an EPA rating of 520 miles (836 kilometers). - Tom Moloughney got remarkably close to that in the real world by covering 500 miles in the Lucid Air in InsideEVs' 70 mph range test. But how far can the electric luxury sedan go if the driver's only concern is range? - The plan was to drive the car at a constant 27 mph (43 km/h), switching drivers roughly every three hours. Any time the Lucid Air needed to stop or turn around, the driver would switch into neutral and coast before accelerating slowly back to 27 mph. - However, the vehicle did not manage to break the 700-mile threshold, with the 118-kWh battery running completely out of juice after 687.4 miles (1,106.2 kilometers). That was still good enough to qualify as a world record for the longest range achieved by production electric vehicle on public roads, but still a long way from the 999-mile Guinness World Record that includes prototypes on private tracks. Original Source : Watch Lucid Air Set New Hypermiling Record Of 687 Miles (insideevs.com) Harley-Davidson selling out its newest electric motorcycle in 18 minutes - When Harley-Davidson first unveiled its original LiveWire electric motorcycle and began taking orders nearly four years ago, the industry was largely in consensus about the bike itself. It scored impressive marks and high acclaim for performance and style, but its sales suffered due to the original lofty price of nearly $30,000 (though the price did drop to $22,000 after entering the LiveWire sub-brand). And so it's no surprise that ever since the original launch, significant hype has been building for Harley-Davidson's next lower-cost electric motorcycle. Original Source : Harley-Davidson LiveWire Del Mar electric motorcycle sold out in 18 mins (electrek.co) CATL partners with European electric bus maker Solaris on battery supply - Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL, SHE: 300750) recently entered into a partnership with European electric bus maker Solaris to help drive the transition to electric urban mobility in Europe, the largest Chinese power battery maker announced today. - CATL will provide Solaris' buses with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries using CTP (cell to pack) technology to drive the electrification of buses, the company said. - Thanks to the long life and high thermal stability of CATL's LFP system, Solaris' electric buses will demonstrate significant advantages in safety and temperature resilience, CATL said. - Solaris, based in Poland, is one of Europe's leading bus and trolleybus manufacturers, having built more than 22,000 vehicles in the past 25 years. Original Source : CATL partners with European electric bus maker Solaris on battery supply - CnEVPost ADS-TEC Energy Extends Battery-Buffered Ultra-Fast EV Charging - ADS-TEC Energy plc is extending its battery-buffered, ultra-fast EV charging portfolio in Europe, despite global supply chain and other market challenges, with the addition of ChargePost later this year. Unlike the currently-available, battery-buffered ChargeBox, which consists of a separate battery-booster module and two charging dispensers, the ChargePost consolidates battery-buffering and dispensers into a single "all-in-one" system with a large display that provides revenue-generating advertising opportunities. Original Source : ADS-TEC Energy Extends Battery-Buffered Ultra-Fast EV Charging | Green Technology Progress (greentechprogress.com) Tesla releases new software update with better range calculation - Tesla has started to release a new software update (2022.16.0.2) with a better range calculation incorporating more environmental factors and the ability for media accounts to be linked to driver profiles. “Energy prediction for your route has been improved by incorporating forecasted crosswind, headwind, humidity and ambient temperature when using online navigation.” Original Source : Tesla releases new software update with better range calculation and media accounts linked to driver profiles - Electrek Battery startup Sparkz, United Mine Workers of America announce labor-management agreement for W Va Gigafactory - Sparkz, a battery startup with exclusive licenses from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to produce domestic cobalt-free lithium batteries (earlier post), and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) signed a memorandum of understanding establishing a labor-management agreement that would mark one of the largest climate-tech union workforce partnerships in the United States. - Sparkz announced in March it will begin construction in 2022 of a Gigafactory in West Virginia to commercialize their zero-cobalt battery which will initially employ 350 workers and could grow to as many as 3,000. Original Source : Battery startup Sparkz, United Mine Workers of America announce labor-management agreement for W Va Gigafactory - Green Car Congress Over 300 battery gigafactories in the global pipeline - As EV demand steadily grows, automakers and their suppliers are wisely hustling to increase battery production capacity—preferably close to their auto plants and markets. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence reports that there are currently over 300 battery gigafactories in the construction or planning stages around the world. - This represents some 6,388 GWh worth of battery capacity, a 68% increase compared to the figure a year ago. Original Source : Charged EVs | Over 300 battery gigafactories in the global pipeline - Charged EVs Micro presents variants for the compact Microlino - ‘'In total, however, the Microlino will be available in four variants, all of which will be powered by an electric motor with an output of 12.5 kW. The top speed of the electric two-seater is 90 km/h. In addition, the Microlino will be available with three battery sizes (6, 10.5 or 14 kWh), which should enable ranges of 91, 177 and 230 kilometres respectively. The respective chemical storage can be recharged via type 2. With a maximum charging power of 1.35 kW, the small battery needs four hours, the medium battery with 2.6 kW three hours and the largest battery (also 2.6 kW) four hours.''

Now it has been revealed that the electric counterparts to the Passat series, previously announced by VW as Aero A and Aero B, could come onto the market as the ID.7. Original Source: Volkswagen rumoured to name their estate car ID.7 Tourer - electrive.com Buick Electra-X Teased As Brand's First Ultium-Based SUV Concept - Buick China has dropped two teaser photos of an upcoming all-electric concept vehicle named Electra-X, the brand's first electric SUV concept developed on GM's Ultium platform. - The new design study could be a more production-ready follow-up to the Buick Electra Concept from 2020, at least judging by the name and the fact it's an electric SUV. Set to debut at the upcoming Buick China Brand Day in early June, the Electra-X is said to offer "a sneak peek at future Ultium-based EVs for Buick in China." Original Source: Buick Electra-X Teased As Brand's First Ultium-Based SUV Concept (insideevs.com) The commodities giant Glencore will pay $1.1 billion to settle bribery and price-fixing charges. - The settlement was not a surprise. In February, the company set aside $1.5 billion in reserves to pay for fines and clawbacks that might result from international investigations into its operations in a handful of resource-rich countries in Africa and South America. Original Source: Glencore Will Pay $1.1 Billion to Settle Bribery and Price-Fixing Charges - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Tesla, GM supplier Glencore pleads guilty to $1.1bn penalty for FCPA violations - Glencore admitted that, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it offered to pay $27.5 million to third parties to secure improper business advantages. In Venezuela, Glencore paid $1.2 million to an intermediary company that made corrupt payments that benefitted a Venezuelan official. - Tesla receives Cobalt from Glencore's Kamoto Copper mine in the DRC and Nickel from the company's Murrin Murrin mine in Australia, it said in its 2021 Impact Report. GM receives Cobalt from the Murrin Murrin mine as well.

This will underpin Smart's forthcoming new range. - From launch the #1 is installed with a 66kWh battery, for a claimed headline range of up to 440km (273 miles). It's likely that more affordable, smaller battery options will be available in time, too.  Original Source:  New Smart #1 SUV available to order in December 2022 | Auto Express QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What's your dream driveway?  But there are some rules: 2 or 3 vehicles, budget is $150,000 USD or equivalent wherever you are.  Email your answers to Martyn: hello@evnewsdaily.com For the week that's in it…catch me on Twitter @evlifeireland It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.

Recorded 8th March 2020 Not a great deal of Apple News, except the growing expectation Apple might not be able to do WWDC in the same way as previous years, and a free fix for owners of iPad Air 3s with troublesome screens. Meanwhile Intel reveal that there is a dangerous flaw in their chip management module that can't be fixed, Virgin Media might be in hot water with the GDPR, Microsoft say 99.9% of hacked accounts make the same mistake, and TCL showed off an interesting “rollable extendable phone concept”. Simon and Nick consider these and wander off into a few other bits and pieces as well (as they often do).
