Ian King is joined by Mark Shepherd, from the Association of British Insurers to discuss the impact of the widespread flooding disruption. Mike Hawes, from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders talks to Ian about car sales. And Randall Atkins, from Ramaco Resources discusses a new discovery at a coal mine in Wyoming.

Ian King has the latest analysis on the shock fall in inflation with our Economics and Data Editor, Ed Conway.But what does that mean for interest rates? We get the view of Melissa Davies from Redburn Atlantic.Ian's also speaking to Mike Hawes from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders about reports of a delay on the ban on new petrol and diesal cars.And there's analysis of the markets from Rachel Winter, Partner at Killik and Co.

There is pressure on both the Conservatives and Labour to review their climate commitments following the Conservative win in the Uxbridge by-election - where the upcoming extension of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone was one of the big issues. But the government is currently sticking to its plan, supported by Labour, to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, with the sales of hybrid cars to be stopped from 2035. So, can we meet the target in time? In a letter to the prime minister, a group of 43 Conservative MPs wrote the policy was 'unnecessary and unworkable'. They asked him to re-think the 2030 deadline, which comes five years before the EU ban, and warned it risked doing harm to the economy. Fans of EVs have also raised concerns over the ban - are there enough charging points, and enough energy for those charging points, and if the government says goodbye to fuel tax, then how does it make up for it? Today's Justin Webb speaks to Stuart Adam, senior economist at the IFS, Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto Services, and Richard Holden, the Transport Minister. They spoke to Justin about whether EVs are accessible to everybody, if the national grid can support the change to EVs, and the price disparity between charging a car at home and at public charging points.

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 17th December. 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. PLUG-IN CAR GRANT CUT FROM £2,500 TO £1,500 - The Government has brought yet another round of cuts to its plug-in car grant. Buyers can now only claim a maximum of £1,500 off the price of a new eligible plug-in car (£1,000 less than before) on models costing no more than £32,000 – £3,000 less than previously. - The plug-in van grant has also been cut to £5,000 for large vans and £2,500 for small vans, with a limit of 1,000 customers per year. Plug-in motorcycles will benefit from a maximum of £500 off and mopeds £150. - Mike Hawes, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), said the cuts represented "a blow to customers". Original Source : https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/354541/plug-car-grant-cut-ps2500-ps1500 IMMEDIATE CUTS TO GOVERNMENT EV GRANTS  - For the second time this year, the Government has announced instant cuts to the electric vehicle grant, with a £1000 reduction in the amount offered on cars taking it to £1500, and the threshold dropping by £3000 so only vehicles under £32,000 now qualify. - The updated Government website lists the cars still eligible for the grant, although it remains to be seen whether price alignments to get under the new thresholds will be announced in the coming days and weeks, as was the case from the likes of BMW, Citroen, DS, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, Vauxhall and others when the previous change was announced in March. The new Citroen e-Berlingo and Peugeot e-Rifter in particular have model priced just above the £32,000 point. - Cars no longer qualifying due to reduced price threshold (subject to any price realignments in reaction to the grant changes): BMW i3 Citroen e-C4 Citroen SpaceTourer Hyundai Ioniq Kia Niro Kia Soul Peugeot e-2008 Skoda Enyaq Vauxhall Mokka-e Vauxhall Vivaro e-Life Volkswagen ID.4 Original Source : https://www.companycartoday.co.uk/immediate-cuts-to-government-ev-grants/ NEW GERMAN GOVERNMENT TO REVAMP INCENTIVES FOR ELECTRIC CARS - Germany's new government said Monday it is extending the country's current system of incentive payments for buyers of electric and hybrid cars for a year but then plans to impose tougher requirements for vehicles to qualify for the support. - The economy and climate ministry that was set up when Germany's new government took office last week said it will only provide payments starting in 2023 for “electric vehicles that demonstrably have a positive climate-protection effect.” - For the next year, the current system will still apply, making buyers of electric-only cars eligible for incentives of up to 9,000 euros (about $10,200) and qualifying buyers of plug-in hybrids for up to 6,750 euros. Original Source : https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/german-government-revamp-incentives-electric-cars-81718327 GERMANY TO BOOST ELECTRIC CAR SALES BY EXTENDING €9,000 HELP TO BUY SUBSIDIES - The government's goal is to see 15 million purely electrified cars in circulation by 2030. So far, Germany has seen only 520,000 of them roll off dealerships' forecourts, according to AFP.This financial support, introduced in July 2020, has played a key role in the record increase in the market share of electrified vehicles in Germany, - In May 2021, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Peter Altmaier announced his intention to make the payment process easier for charging stations. “For eMobility to really breakthrough, we must not only provide funding for electric vehicles, but also make the charging process and payment for this more convenient,” Altmaier said.“In future, the charging stations that are open to the public will accept standard credit and debit cards. This means that these charging stations will be open to everyone – including customers that do not own a smartphone. As credit cards work everywhere, this also opens up charging stations to cross-border travel.”.

But with a number of tweaks that mean it's smaller and more efficient than current cars, but still has buckets of room inside. - Arrival announced that it had teamed up with Uber to create a “purpose-built vehicle for ride-hailing.” It's a project with an ambitious deadline, too, with the first models expected to roll off the production line in Q3, 2023. - The Arrival Car is deeply uncool, a box on wheels with an emphasis on maximizing the internal space for passengers. It has the same silhouette as a French-made minivan; you could easily imagine a line of these parked outside a Saturday-morning under 15's soccer match. But, because it wholly rejects the need to be aesthetic for the sake of aesthetics, it's also quite cool.

The premium manufacturer is earmarking about €18 billion for electrification and hybridization alone and thereby emphasizing its clear commitment to electromobility. - With the new models Audi e-tron GT quattro, Audi RS e-tron GT, and the first fully electric models in the compact segment, the Audi Q4 e-tron and Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, the electric portfolio has grown by four additional models. By 2025, the company aims to have more than 20 fully electric models in its lineup.

The Lucid Air, for example, has the longest range of any electric car on the market with up to 520 miles on a charge. It's tough to imagine an EV beating that range estimate anytime soon, but if anyone can beat Lucid Motors, it's Mercedes-Benz. - More than one year ago, Mercedes teased an EV with a staggering 750-mile range, called the Vision EQXX. The vehicle will be revealed (in concept form) on January 3, 2022, but before then, the German automaker just released a new teaser for its most efficient car ever. - To achieve a 750-mile range, the EQXX will likely sport a massive battery pack and an extremely low drag coefficient. - Mercedes may not give us full battery details when it reveals the EQXX, but the German automaker promises it will "[increase] the energy density at the cell level by a further 20% compared to the EQS," Original Source : https://carbuzz.com/news/mercedes-teases-new-ev-that-will-destroy-everyone-on-range LIGHTYEAR'S NEW SOLAR EV WILL REQUIRE FIVE TIMES LESS CHARGING THAN ITS PREDECESSOR - While we eagerly wait for Lightyear One the solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) to go into production, its makers have already announced a more cost-friendly version model that will offer twice the range of similarly priced vehicles, - managed to use the car in European summer without having to charge it at all. The car manages this with solar panels that are seamlessly present on its surface and with high-efficiency motors that use up to three times lesser power per kilometer than EVs in the market today, the company claims. - currently offer. And with its solar panels, it will require up to five times lesser charging as well. There is definitely an upgrade coming to the solar panel array on the Lightyear since Two will rely heavily on the panels to achieve this. Another important prospect of the car is its price.

Ian King is joined by Tech Editor at Business Insider, Shona Gosh, to discuss the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp blackout. Mike Hawes, Chief Executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, explains the dramatic 35% plunge in car sales last month. Plus, what more needs to be done to help achieve true diversity and inclusion in financial services?

As the need to electrify intensifies, how does the automotive industry feel about the development and production of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs)? Autovista24 editor Phil Curry attended the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) Test Day, a UK event bringing together journalists and automotive executives. This special podcast recorded at the event features interviews with: - Mike Hawes, chief executive of the SMMT - Mike Orford, head of press and PR at Volkswagen UK - Oliver Rowe, product affairs manager at Ford of Britain - David Crouch, senior press officer at Toyota GB

2021.07.01-0182 – A ‘Marking Up' PracticalHere's our raw script.New data has revealed car production in the UK fell to its lowest September level for a quarter of a century. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said just under 115-thousand cars rolled off production lines last month. The industry says uncertainty caused by the pandemic and a potential no-deal Brexit is undermining confidence.

Unreliable, slow and you'll never find a charging point - those are some of the things that come to mind when thinking about electric vehicles for many drivers. But are these outdated myths? The government has less than a decade to meet its 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars. With the future of electric vehicles just around the corner, Kate Andrews talks to a panel of special guests about how much progress has been made in the industry, and how much still needs to be done.With Grant Shapps, the Secretary of State for Transport; Mike Hawes, the CEO of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders; and Chris O'Shea, CEO of Centrica.Sponsored by Centrica.

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.   RIVIAN TO INSTALL MORE THAN 10,000 EV CHARGERS BY END OF 2023 "Rivian, the EV startup backed by Amazon, Cox Automotive and T. Rowe Price, plans to install more than 10,000 chargers by the end of 2023. The network will have a dual purpose: quickly power its electric vehicle models with fast chargers installed along highways and provide Level 2 chargers at further afield locations next to parks, trailheads and other adventurous destinations." says TechCrunch: "The company said Thursday that its so-called Rivian Adventure Network will include more than 3,500 DC fast chargers at over 600 sites, which will only be accessible to owners of its electric vehicles."   "While Adventure Network of chargers will be solely for Rivian owners, the company also plans a second network of stations dubbed Waypoints, which will be available to other EV drivers. These will number over 10,000 and will be installed through 2023. The first batch will go to Colorado's 42 state parks, each getting two Waypoints each. " according to Autoweek: "The Waypoints will feature only the J1772 plugs and offer a charging speed of 11.5 kW, so these won't be as quick as the DC fast chargers. Rivian's two-tier plan of charging networks represent a serious step for the company, just months ahead of the market launch of its first two vehicles, and unlike Tesla's network, only a part of it will be exclusive to Rivian owners."   "Rivian owners will need to do is pull up and plug in. No membership cards or anything like that. The first stations will support 200 kilowatts of juice to start, but Rivian plans to amp things up with 300 kW and beyond after 2023. " reports CNET: "R1T pickup and R1S SUV owners will fill their battery packs with 140 miles of range in just 20 minutes, the company promised. Like the Adventure Network, Rivian owners will be able to charge their cars automatically by simply pulling up and plugging in. The public will need to jump through a couple of hoops, comparatively, though the company didn't go into detail about the process."   Let's say they started installing on April 1st - no joke. That's 33 months. To install 3,500 DC chargers at 600 sites. That's 18 sites a month, from today. Working days? That's a site A DAY. Is it going to happen? You decide.   https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/18/rivian-to-install-more-than-10000-ev-chargers-by-end-of-2023/   https://www.autoweek.com/news/green-cars/a35885831/rivian-adventure-network/   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/rivian-ev-charging-network-tesla-superchargers/     UK FURTHER CUTS DOWN EV SUBSIDIES "The Plug-in Car Grant for pure electric cars has been reduced from £3,000 to £2,500, with the list price cap also reduced from £50,000 to £35,000. The changes are effective immediately from today (18 March 2021)." reports Ricahrd Aucock at Motoring Research: "These measures have been taken to ensure the funding lasts longer, says the government. The £50,000 price cap has been lowered to £35,000 because higher-priced vehicles are ‘typically bought by drivers who can afford to switch without a subsidy from taxpayers’. Cars now excluded include the Tesla Model 3, as driven by transport secretary Grant Shapps. Several times last year, the Model 3 was Britain’s best-selling car in the monthly registration rankings."   SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: "“New battery electric technology is more expensive than conventional engines and incentives are essential in making these vehicles affordable to the customer. Cutting the grant and eligibility moves the UK even further behind other markets, which are increasing their support, making it yet more difficult for the UK to get sufficient supply. This sends the wrong message to the consumer, especially private customers, and to an industry challenged to meet the government’s ambition to be a world leader in the transition to zero emission mobility.”"   Ford of Britain Chairman Graham Hoare: “disappointing and is not conducive to supporting the zero emissions future we all desire.”   The British government states that the number of available electric car models with a price below 35,000 pounds has increased by almost 50 per cent since 2019. So, the MGZS EV. Just one of the Hyundai Kona models, the bottom spec small battery version. No Tesla. Only the bottom spec VW ID.3 Pro with 263 mile range.   Vans are harder hit.   @SteveFowler, Editor in Chief of AutoExpress: "Government kicks car industry and car buyers squarely in the guts. Slashes plug-in grant and lowers limit. LUDICROUS. So angry. Thought it was April 1. Bad, bad move."   I tweeted: "Anyone fancy buying a @Tesla  in the next 12 days? They'll cover the £2500 car grant which no longer applies as they're all over £35k RRP"   Heres an example of a family car caught out by the overnight change.

The vans were built by Amazon-backed electric vehicle startup Rivian. The deployment is San Francisco is the second West Coast city that Amazon is testing its new delivery vehicles in, following the first deployments in Los Angeles in early February. " says FutureCar: "The current fleet of vehicles was built at Rivian's studio in Plymouth, Michigan, and each can drive up to 150 miles on a single charge."   https://www.futurecar.com/4493/Amazons-New-Electric-Vans-Built-by-EV-Startup-Rivian-Are-Being-Deployed-in-San-Francisco   AUDI'S 2023 Q6 E-TRON EV WILL USE TECHNOLOGY CO-DEVELOPED WITH PORSCHE "Audi announced it will fill the gap between the upcoming Q4 E-Tron and the E-Tron already in showrooms with a model called Q6 E-Tron. Due out in 2022, the crossover will share its underpinnings with the next Porsche Macan." according to Autoblog "Audi will position the Q6 E-Tron as electric alternative to the Q5. Don't let the common bones (and some of the inaccurate reports floating around the web) fool you: the Q6 E-Tron will not be merely a re-badged Macan. It will ride on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture that Audi and Porsche co-developed to underpin a range of relatively big luxury EVs. Like the Taycan and the Taycan Cross Turismo, both crossovers will feature 800-volt technology that promises to significantly reduce charging times."   You can listen to all 1025 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus 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.   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)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (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 HERMANS (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.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Tuesday 10th 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.   Housekeeping: first 4 Fully Charged Live videos online now. Thank you to Leon Clarke who just sent me a link to the Nissan story, they’ve admitted falsified data on car exhaust emissions at it’s Japanese factories. I’ll pull together all you need to know about that on tomorrow’s programme. 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.
