Hemos asistido a la presentación internacional del Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, exactamente a la cuarta generación de este gran SUV que fue pionero en la hibridación enchufable. En la tercera generación pudimos conocer esta variante que revolucionó el mercado, el Outlanter PHEV se presentó en el Salón de París de 2012 y se comenzó a comercializar en 2013 en Japón, poco a poco fue llegando a los diferentes mercados y cuando llegó a España nos demostró que la hibridación enchufable era una tecnología con gran potencial, además de ser uno de los primeros automóviles con etiqueta cero que podrías usar para poder viajar. Este nuevo Outlander PHEV presenta un diseño totalmente nuevo, se fabricará en Japón pero se ha desarrollado para el mercado europeo, teniendo en cuenta los gustos europeos. Con un interior con gran calidad de acabados, mucha tecnología y con un sistema de infoentretenimiento de nuevo desarrollo. Además, encontramos un sistema hifi firmado por Yamaha, todo un sello de distinción y de calidad sonora. Este nuevo Outlander PHEV está disponible en cuatro acabados: el básico, Motion, Kaiteki y Kaiteki+, y ofrece una extensa gama de accesorios capaces de añadir nuevas dimensiones y atributos personalizados. Asimismo, gracias a sus 12 opciones de color, cinco bitonos y siete de un único tono, puede convertirse en un reflejo aún más fiel de la personalidad del cliente. Destaca el nuevo color metalizado Gris Moonstone. El nuevo Outlander PHEV se ha actualizado hasta el último detalle para proporcionar un producto de calidad superior. El corazón de estas actualizaciones es el nuevo tren de tracción híbrido enchufable completamente revisado, que amplía la autonomía del modo eléctrico a la vez que ofrece la aceleración instantánea que se espera de un vehículo 100% eléctrico con un mayor refinamiento que mejora el silencio en el habitáculo. El sistema combina un eficiente motor de gasolina de cuatro cilindros, dos motores eléctricos de gran potencia y una batería de iones de litio más grande, para aumentar la potencia respecto a la generación anterior del vehículo en aproximadamente un 40%, lo que significa que la potencia total combinada es ahora de 302 CV con 400 Nm de par motor. Por otro lado, la batería de accionamiento tiene ahora una capacidad total de 22,7 kWh, lo que significa que el nuevo modelo puede seguir circulando en modo eléctrico aún más tiempo. Según la prueba oficial WLTP, el modo exclusivamente eléctrico ofrece una autonomía de hasta 86 kilómetros en ciclo combinado. Para conocer cuando llegará al mercado español este nuevo Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, hablamos con Javier de la Calzada, jefe de prensa de Mitsubishi en España.

Is de elektrische auto de oplossing voor het volle stroomnet? En kan door de elektrische auto straks de thuisbatterij het huis uit? Er zijn veel halleluja-verhalen over vehicle to grid (V2G). Wij zijn benieuwd hoe reëel V2G nu is, en dus vroegen we Henry Lootens het hemd van het lijf. Een kleine trigger warning: deze aflevering is wat technischer van aard dan je van ons gewend bent. De volgende afleveringen zullen we beter ons best doen om het toegankelijk te houden. Henry Lootens kwam al regelmatig langs in eerdere afleveringen, maar nu is hij eindelijk te gast! Henry is expert in gelijkspanning, en dat is waar snelladen, CCS laden, bi-directionele laadpalen en, hoogstwaarschijnlijk, de auto als thuisbatterij op werkt. De juiste gast voor deze aflevering dus. Als je op Google zoekt naar auto's die kunnen terugleveren is dat al een aardig lijstje: Nissan Leaf, Nissan N-EV200, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross PHE, Volkswagen ID.3, KIA Soul, KIA EV9, Polestar 3, Polestar 4 en de Volvo EX90. Maar deze kunnen niet allemaal terugleveren aan het stroomnet. Henry vertelt dat er meerdere manieren zijn hoe een auto kan terugleveren: vehicle to grid, vehicle to load en vehicle to home. Auto's die terugleveren aan het stroomnet, dat ziet Henry zeker als de toekomst. Maar moet er gebeuren voordat dit de realiteit is? Het belangrijkste is dat er in de politiek, het liefst op Europees niveau, bepaald dat dit er moet gaan komen en dat auto's het moeten gaan ondersteunen. Daarnaast moet er technisch wat gebeuren uiteraard, auto's moeten er op worden ingericht en we moeten - duurdere - bi-directionele laadpalen gaan plaatsen. Die zijn nu nog duur, maar Henry voorspelt dat als bi-directioneel laden verplicht gaat worden dat ze binnen 2 jaar minder dan 3.000 euro kosten. Want niks doet de prijs zo goed dalen als schaalvoordelen. Hoofdstukken0:00:00 Hoi, Henry Lootens is op bezoek! 0:02:40 Waarom gelijkspanning? 0:06:40 Vehicle to grid, vehicle to home of vehicle to load? 0:10:52 Is vehicle to load een gimmick? 0:12:00 Maakt de elektrische auto de thuisbatterij overbodig? 0:14:00 Technische uitdagingen van vehicle to grid 0:18:45 Wat moet er gebeuren zodat V2G gaat gebeuren? 0:19:10 Garantie en degradatie 0:20:54 Waarom zijn autobatterijen per kWh veel goedkoper dan een thuisbatterij? 0:22:18 Wat moet er gebeuren zodat V2G gaat gebeuren?

On paper, the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-In Hybrid is what people want these days. It's three-row SUV that will travel 38 miles on electric power so many owners can get by on a single tank of gas a year (seriously, I've done it). It also has a sure-footed all-wheel drive system dubbed Super All-Wheel Control with a rear-drive performance bias. And it just took home multiple trophies at the Mudfest SUV Competition. But, how does it stack up in the real world? Tom Voelk checks out a SEL Premium model with massaging seats to see how it competes with competition from Hyundai, Kia and Toyota.

What's in a plug? First up Benjamin describes his time with the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning EV, a fully electric pickup truck with a number of handy features than he had to test out. Can the Lightning power up a stranded EV? Sami begs Benjamin to tell us if the future of electric trucks bleak or promising. Then Sami talks about a pair of plug-in hybrid crossovers. The 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has been a face in this segment for a long long long time, and has been renewed with Nissan bones. The 2023 Kia Sportage PHEV is a bit less familiar, but has a few interesting changes compared to the similar Hyundai Tucson PHEV. Weight, seating, and other charging gimmicks help differentiate these two, but Sami comes down with an interesting verdict when it comes to summing these rides up.

The 2023 Lincoln Corsair PHEV is a full-featured 5-passenger luxury crossover filled with high-tech features like Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2 and other niceties. As we found in our 800-mile trek in the heavily revised vehicle, it is an impressive traveling companion for cross-country cruising. The luxury car business has evolved into the luxury crossover business. Lincoln isn't alone in switching to follow the desires of luxury customers, and it continues to seek ways to differentiate its SUVs from those of other prestige brands. For the 2023 Corsair, its smallest crossover, Lincoln has emphasizes leading-edge tech. Lincoln BlueCruise 1.2 is a hands-off self-driving system that functions on hundreds of thousands of miles of highways in the United States. And its engineers and product planners have enhanced the infotainment system, the interior, and the exterior while adding new advanced driver assistance systems. Lincoln equips the Corsair Grand Touring with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine running the Atkinson cycle, an electronic continuously variable transmission, a rear-axle electric motor, and a lithium-ion battery pack. When fully charged, the battery provides 28 miles of all-electric range. In this episode, we'll tell you how the Corsair fared during our extended drive. Also in the road test segment this week, co-host Chris Teague puts the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV through its paces. We'll discuss how it compares to the Lincoln Corsair, another plug-in hybrid vehicle. The top news story this week revolves around new proposed government regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed sweeping emissions cuts for new cars and trucks through 2032. The regulations could radically change what vehicles you can buy and what you'll pay for them. We'll have all the troubling details for you coming up. On the autonomous vehicles front, one of the top companies pursuing self-driving technology had to shut down several of its test vehicles recently, and we'll tell you why. And in a special report worth reading, Reuters has reported that Tesla employees not only viewed videos captured in customers' cars but also routinely shared those videos with others. We will give you details and our comments. This week's guest is Chris Sutton, vice president of automotive retail at J.D. Power. He oversees the recently released J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Customer Service Index (CSI) Study. This year's study suggests that some things you've been told about electric cars might not be true. We'll let you know what and have much more in this episode of America on the Road.

Normand Mousseau se soucie beaucoup de la taille des véhicules qui augmente. Il y a un coût à ne pas se préoccuper de ça, dit-il. Le professeur de physique de l’université de Montréal aimerait une législation au Québec pour décourager les gens d’acheter de gros véhicules électriques. Nous en parlons avec lui cette semaine.

Le monde automobile prend un virage vers le silence. Bientôt le son typique d’un moteur V8 sera chose du passé. Peut-être que non, car les constructeurs automobiles veulent donner une couleur et une personnalité sonore à leurs réalisations électriques. Nous en discutons avec un spécialiste du son, Stéphane Larivière. En essai routier, Benoit prend le volant du Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV 2023 et Alain du Genesis GV60.

VOLKSWAGEN TAKES #1 AND #2 POSITIONS IN EUROPEAN EV MARKET"The European passenger plugin vehicle market continues to rise. There were more than 159,000 plugin vehicle registrations in April, and 616,000 in the year to date (YTD). The plugin vehicle share of the overall auto market in April was 15% (7.1% fully electric vehicles), keeping the 2021 plugin vehicle (PEV) share at 15% and the fully electric vehicle (BEV) share at 6.7%." reports CleanTechnica" Last year’s winner, the Renault Zoe, was only 5th last month, its lowest standing in over 3 years(!) — so, after the Nissan Leaf (best seller in 2018, 7th in 2020, 16th now) and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (3rd in 2019, 12th in 2020, now below the top 20), the last bastion of success of the Renault-Nissan Alliance is also suffering. The warning sirens must be ringing in the Alliance’s European HQ." #1 VW ID.4 - 7,565 registrations#2 VW ID.3#3 Renault ZOE#4 Peugeot e-208#5 Hyundai Kona Then...Fiat 500e, Niro EV, Audi e-tron, VW e-up, Smart FOrtwo EV, LEAF and Skoda Enyaq Looking at Jan-Apr the #1 is MOdel 3. Volkswagen Group is now the leader with a 23 % market share. Stellantis (14%), Daimler (12%) and BMW (12%) at four. https://cleantechnica.com/2021/05/29/volkswagen-take-1-2-positions-in-european-electric-vehicle-market-in-april/ STELLANTIS SAID TO CONSIDER BATTERY-MANUFACTURING INVESTMENT IN ITALY"Italy’s government is in talks with Stellantis, the carmaker formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group, about investing in electric-vehicle battery manufacturing in the country, according to people familiar with the matter." says Automotive News EUerope "A meeting in Rome this week between Stellantis Chairman John Elkann, CEO Carlos Tavares and Giancarlo Giorgetti, Italy's economic development minister, centered around the future of electric mobility in the country, said the people, who asked not to be named because the gathering was private. PSA was further along in investing in EVs before its merger with Fiat, having made plans for a roughly 5 billion-euro project with oil giant Total that is backed by the French government. PSA's stronger sales of plug-in hybrids and battery-powered cars enabled Stellantis to exit an emissions-credit agreement that Fiat had set up with Tesla in 2019." https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/stellantis-said-consider-battery-manufacturing-investment-italy SOUL EV NAMED ‘BEST VALUE ELECTRIC CAR’ The Kia Soul EV has picked up the prize for ‘Best value electric car’ at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2021. Auto Trader’s New Car Awards is an annual consumer-led vote on the best cars currently for sale in the UK. Winners are decided by the British car-buying public, with owners asked to rate their vehicle based on 16 categories, including stability, reliability, safety and features. WORKPLACE CHARGERS CAN ATTRACT TOP TALENT"ChargePoint, one of the world's largest EV charging networks, focuses on the places where people tend to spend time outside the home, like movie theaters, shopping centers, and libraries. But as it continues to grow its global network of 112,000 plug-in spots, it has put much of its focus on the places where Americans once spent most of their waking lives, and to which they're steadily returning: the office. "reports Business INsider: "Employees are six times more likely to drive electric when they can charge at work, according to a 2016 report from the US Department of Energy. Office charging can be more than a convenient perk for workers: It can be an incentive that attracts and retains talent." https://www.businessinsider.com/workplace-ev-chargers-are-an-alluring-perk-for-workers-2021-5?r=US&IR=T RAC TO INTEGRATE MOBILE CHARGERS INTO 1/5TH OF THEIR FLEET"The UK motoring organisation RAC is working to install emergency EV chargers in many more of its patrol vans. The on-route assistance programme is thus preparing for a larger rollout of electric vehicles in the UK." says electrive; "RAC EV Boost was launched as a 3.5kW charger in April 2019. Now with two years of field experience to aid development efforts, the RAC and Original ADS managed to develop a new 5kW unit capable of faster charging. Development work is also underway for a mobile 7.5kW charger. RAC plans to have 200 vans equipped to boost out-of-charge EVs by the end of 2021." https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/29/rac-to-integrate-mobile-chargers-into-1-5th-of-their-fleet/ INTEGRAL E-DRIVE LAUNCHES NEW SERIES OF OFF-THE-SHELF HIGH PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC MOTORS"As part of its mission to make world-class electric drives accessible, Integral e-Drive has made available a family of three ultra-high-performance machines off-the-shelf in single sample quantities." according to Green Car COngress: "Based closely on series production units and manufactured to automotive quality standards in its recently opened Milton Keynes facility, the CTSM242 family combines up to 400 kW and 520 N·m in a compact package with a mass of

Show #885 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 8th September 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. Welcome to two new Patrons. RAYMOND ROWLEDGE and MYLES HAMILTON are both new Executive Producers. It is Lucid Air week. Tomorrow, Wednesday, is the livestream unveil. VIDEO: ELON MUSK DRIVES VW ID.3 According to Handelsblatt last week “When Elon Musk’s private jet, the “Gulfstream G650”, took off from Berlin-Schönefeld Airport on Wednesday at 9:17 pm, everyone thought: The Tesla boss’s visit to Germany is over. But only 26 minutes later the plane landed at Braunschweig Airport. The reason for the stopover was a visit to VW boss Herbert Diess.” A VW official confirmed the meeting between the two CEOs, but they didn’t elaborate on the nature of it." But now we know - it was to drive the ID.3 alongside Chairman of the Board of VW Herbert Diess. Herbert Diess posted on LinkedIn this update: " "We are ready for take off!" In the comments under the footage he also said, "Thanks for the visit, Elon! Hope you like the video. It was great driving the ID.3 with you! You were just quite critical with the available torque at higher speed. I told you: "Yes, we are on the runway - but no need for take off - its not a sports car.” For this you should try our Porsche Taycan. Looking forward to our next meeting! " And here's the audio. The video has captions because it seems to be recorded on a shaly mobile phone with poor sound. Elon is driving, and Diess in the passenger seat. Herbert Diess took to Linked in later in the day on Monday to deny the speculation that the new execs had been thrashing out the idea of some for of collaboration between the two automakers.: "“Just to be clear: We just drove the ID.3 and had a chat - there is no deal/cooperation in the making.”" https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6708652868141907968/ TESLA LOOKING AT BECOMING AN ELECTRICITY PROVIDER IN GERMANY " Elon Musk appears to be opening a new front in the European battle for electric car supremacy: the power behind the wheel. Musk's Tesla has recently acquired a license that will enable the carmaker to trade electricity across Western Europe, and the company has also been surveying customers in Germany about potentially using Tesla electricity in their cars." says Autoblog: "It could also open the way for Tesla to use power stored by customers to help balance the electricity grid, an increasingly important service in Germany as it becomes ever more dependent on volatile wind and solar power." https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/07/tesla-energy-industry-germany/ TESLA DEVELOPING AUSTRALIA’S LARGEST VIRTUAL POWER PROJECT The Australian Renewable Energy Agency has issued AUS$8.2 million in funding for the development of what is claimed to be the largest virtual power plant in the country. The funding will be used by Tesla Motors Australia to install battery energy storage and rooftop solar systems for 3,000 residential consumers in South Australia." says SmartEnergy.com: "Tesla will install 5kW of rooftop solar and a 13.5kWh Powerwall battery system at each property, at no cost to the tenant. The phase supports Tesla’s ambition to create the world’s largest virtual power plant comprising 50,000 solar and storage systems across residential and private dwellings. The 3000 additional systems will participate in AEMO’s virtual power plant (VPP) trial to provide a range of grid stability services by exporting excess energy to the National Electricity Market." Move beyond automotive, into how we power the planet. Scale - 180,000 cars in the first half of 2020, but that's about to explode From Tesla.com: "Autobidder provides independent power producers, utilities and capital partners the ability to autonomously monetize battery assets. Autobidder is a real-time trading and control platform that provides value-based asset management and portfolio optimization, enabling owners and operators to configure operational strategies that maximize revenue according to their business objectives and risk preferences" https://www.smart-energy.com/industry-sectors/finance-investment/tesla-developing-australias-largest-virtual-power-project/ https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/support/autobidder BMW MAY BE PLANNING ELECTRIC 3 SERIES "An electric version of BMW’s 7 and 5 Series has already been officially confirmed. According to a British media report, there will also be a BEV offshoot for the 3-series – but not for several years." according to Electrive: "According to information from Autocar, the electric 3-series is to be based on the BMW i4 and could adopt the model designation i3 when production of the current i3 comes to an end. The magazine refers to “sources that are familiar with the production plan”. According to BMW’s latest statement on the future of the current i3, the latter is to receive another battery update and “will continue to be built until 2024”. Also planned is a purely electric BMW i1, which will compete against the VW ID.3. For the X1, BMW had confirmed a battery-electric iX1 in July. If the i1 assumed by Autocar would be based on the well-known 1-series, BMW would then have announced 1-series, 3-series, 5-series and 7-series BEV versions of its core lineup." https://www.electrive.com/2020/09/07/bmw-may-be-planning-electric-3-series/ SK INNOVATION PUSHES FOR 3RD EV BATTERY PLANT IN HUNGARY "SK Innovation Co., a South Korean refining-to-battery conglomerate, is pushing for its third battery plant in Hungary, people familiar with the issue said Monday." according to Korea Herald: "SK Innovation has begun a process of selecting subcontractors for the construction of the proposed plant, they said. SK Innovation denied that the selection process has begun, saying no decision has been made in regard to the third Hungarian plant. Currently, SK Innovation runs a plant with an annual capacity of 7.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the northwestern Hungarian city of Komarom. SK Innovation has also been working to complete its second plant with a capacity of 9.8 GWh, next to the first plant, by 2022." http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200907000834 MG E-HS PLUG-IN HYBRID COMING NEXT YEAR "The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV is about to get some competition from China. The plug-in hybrid MG HS is still on track to touch down in Australia next year, with the promise of class-leading electric range" says CarExpedrt: "With a claimed electric range of 75km, the e-HS has the on-paper credentials to put the upcoming plug-in hybrid Ford Escape (50km) and Mitsubishi Outlander (50km) in the shade. How the all-new Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV set for reveal next year will compare isn’t clear, but a longer electric range than the current 50km is likely." https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/mg-e-hs-plug-in-hybrid-coming-next-year ZAP-PAY: NEW APP PROMISES SEAMLESS PAYMENT FOR EV CHARGING "Electric vehicle (EV) users will no longer have to shuffle between apps and cards to pay to charge on different networks, with the launch of a new service enabling them to do so from a single app." says Business Green "Zap-Pay launches today, with Engenie the first network available, followed by a wave of partners in the autumn including ESB EV Solutions, LiFe, and Hubsta. The new system was designed by Zap-Map, an app which drivers can currently use to locate chargers across the UK. Using Zap-Pay, EV drivers will be able to search, plan, and pay for their EV journeys all in one place, the firm said." https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4019748/zap-pay-app-promises-seamless-payment-ev-charging You can listen to all 884 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.

SK INNOVATION TO DEVELOP NEXT-GEN BATTERIES WITH PROFESSOR JOHN GOODENOUGH "SK Innovation and Professor John Goodenough's group will join forces to develop next-generation battery with higher energy density, better safety and competitive cost. The area of interest is a new gel-polymer electrolyte system that has the potential to suppress dendrite growth in cells with a lithium metal anode, and ultimately shorten the time to market for an all-solid lithium metal battery." reports InsideEVs: "Professor John Goodenough is a 2019 Nobel laureate in chemistry and one of the top brains in lithium-ion batteries. According to SK Innovation, the current lithium-ion technology "is not likely to overcome 800 Wh/L energy density", and to go higher - like 1,000 Wh/L, a lithium metal anode combined with solid-state electrolyte is "viewed as a promising solution". Goodenough and Dr. Hadi Khani at The University of Texas at Austin aim to develop unique gel-polymer electrolyte for a lithium metal battery with the goal of providing higher energy density and better safety at a competitive cost. It might take years before the right solution will be found and implemented in a commercial product, but we are quite optimistic about the progress." https://insideevs.com/news/436729/sk-innovation-develop-batteries-john-goodenough/ TESLA GIGA BERLIN AIMS TO UNDERCUT SHANGHAI GIGAFACTORY’S CONSTRUCTION TIME "Tesla Giga Berlin could be built faster than an existing Gigafactory in China, said Minister of Economy, Labor and Energy of the State of Brandenburg Jörg Steinbach. "The goal at Tesla seems to be to undercut Shanghai Gigafactory’s construction time again," Steinbach told Welt am Sonntag." according to Tesmanian: "A faster build pace is possible due to the use of prefabricated parts during construction. A few days ago, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that Giga Berlin will be built at incredible speed, noting that the prefabricated construction method in Germany is extremely impressive. Tesla built Giga Shanghai in just 11 months. The company gained approval for foundation work in Grünheide in Brandenburg at the end of May, and the construction could already be completed by April. According to the currently unveiled plan, Tesla is aiming to start production from mid-2021." https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/giga-berlin-2 FIA ERX2 CHAMPIONSHIP UNVEILED "The brand-new all-electric FIA eRX2 Championship has been officially revealed and it’s set to become a support series for the 2021 FIA World Rallycross Championship, replacing the current RX2 International Series." according to The Checkered Flag.co.uk: "The new class is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, and is a joint-venture between the Spanish electric technology company QEV Technologies, Olsbergs MSE and RX Promotion – the organisation currently behind both the RX2 International Series and Supercar Lites. The cars will be based on the current generation internal combustion engine powered Supercar Lites that are manufactured by Avitas Motorsport in conjuction with Olsbergs MSE. The drivetrain developed by QEV will produce 250kW (335bhp) and uses a 32kWh battery for all four wheels. The eRX2 cars will manage a 25 minute driving range before they need to be recharged, with the recommended charges between each session being 20 minutes." Joan Orús, COO of QEV Technologies: "With short, sharp races, rallycross is the ideal discipline for electric cars, and we are confident eRX2 will generate more dynamic and spectacular action than has ever been seen before. Not only will the degree of torque available make the car considerably quicker than the current RX2 model, but it will also be more challenging to drive, especially on the limit, which will be a key factor in helping to prepare competitors for the subsequent step-up to Supercar level. One of the aspects I like most about the eRX2 car is all of the additional areas in which the driver can make a real difference, from the distribution of the torque to brake bias, which simply isn’t possible with an internal combustion engine vehicle. Being able to manually balance the car and its performance mid-race, while travelling side-by-side at speeds of up to 150km/h will truly showcase a driver’s skillset and technical understanding.” https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2020/08/fia-erx2-championship-unveiled/ FORD LAUNCHES GEOFENCE TECHNOLOGY ON TRANSIT PHEV "Ford has added geofence technology to its Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid, enabling the LCV to switch into electric-only mode within urban areas. The option is set to become increasingly useful in coming years, as low emission zones get rolled out across a number of UK towns and cities." reports NExt Green Car: "This will see the van automatically switch to electric power alone - where there is charge remaining to do so - to ensure the Transit Custom PHEV meets regulations to enter certain areas, either at all, or avoiding charges. The geofencing technology can also be customised to allow vehicle operators to create 'green zones' of their own, such as near schools & parks, or near depots. Using live location data, the Ford will recognise when it is reaching a green zone - either official or created - to help reduce emissions. It's powered by a 1.0 litre petrol engine, with an electric motor and 13.6 kWh battery for 31 miles of electric driving on a charge." https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8960/ford-launches-geofence-technology-on-transit-phev/ BYD BUSES LOG U.S. RECORD 13 MILLION ZERO-EMISSION MILES BYD (Build Your Dreams) announced Tuesday its customers’ battery-electric buses have logged a U.S. record 13 million miles of zero-emission operations, in the process saving over 16,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions. More than 50 customers across the United States are operating U.S. made BYD buses in communities from Martha’s Vineyard and Indianapolis to Palo Alto and Los Angeles. Zero-emission mileage logged by U.S. BYD customers is the equivalent mileage of more than 520 trips around the globe. Every zero-emission bus eliminates approximately 1,690 tons of CO2 over its 12-year lifespan, according to the U.S. Transportation Department. BYD’s 13-million-mile emission-free landmark is the equivalent of removing 13,000 cars from the road – enough to fill the parking lot at Angels Stadium of Anaheim. Stacked on top of each other, those cars would be three times taller than Mt. Everest. BYD is proudly Buy America compliant. The 13 million emission-free miles traveled by BYD buses have eliminated the need for transit agencies and operators to consume 3.3 million gallons of diesel fuel resulting in millions of dollars in savings to U.S. taxpayers, based on transit agency estimates. One BYD customer, the Antelope Valley Transit Authority (AVTA), announced last month it crossed the 3-million-mile mark in zero emission operations. The AVTA estimates it has saved 769,231 gallons of diesel fuel, which equates to a savings of more than $1 million in fuel costs after paying for electricity. https://en.byd.com/news-posts/byd-buses-log-u-s-record-13-million-zero-emission-miles FINLAND HITS 16% SHARE OF PLUGINS "Share-wise, Finland has become a major plug-in market, thanks to some impressive growth rates, with 2020 having outlandish (+117% YoY) growth rates, and with the mainstream market falling significantly (-22% YoY), the 2020 PEV Share is now at an amazing 16%" according to EV-Sales blog: "This continues to be a PHEV-friendly market, with BEVs representing just 20% of sales, and you can tell, as the only BEV in the Top 10 is the Tesla Model 3. Funny enough, the Best Selling BEV last month wasn't the Californian, but the small VW e-Up. the Skoda Superb PHEV managed to get in the middle of the Volvo 1-2 lead, with the Czech model surpassing the S/V60 PHEV twins last month, while a few spots below, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV surpassed the BMW X5 PHEV, climbing to #7." http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/07/finland-june-2020.html THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET SHARE IN FRANCE REACHED 9.5% IN JULY "In July 2020, the French market share for plug-in passenger vehicles reached 9.5%, compared to 2.5% in July 2019. The overall automotive market showed a continuous recovery, up 3.7% in July 2020 compared to July 2019. Top-selling plug-in vehicles included the Renault Zoe and the Peugeot e-208." accoding to FR24news.com: "Plugin sales volume in July was 16,967, up from 4,258 in July 2019 – a massive 4 × growth in absolute sales. The detailed breakdown of the July plugin vehicle share was 5.57% (9,967 units) full battery electric (BEV) and 3.91% (7,000 units) plug-in hybrid (PHEV). This is a slightly stronger growth in the share of PHEVs year over year. However, BEVs remain the most popular type of plugin." https://www.fr24news.com/a/2020/08/the-electric-vehicle-market-share-in-france-reached-9-5-in-july-and-4-times-the-volume-growth-over-one-year.html TESLA STARTS TRIAL PRODUCTION OF MODEL Y LONG RANGE REAR-WHEEL-DRIVE "Tesla has started trial production of the Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel-Drive ahead of an imminent launch, according to sources familiar with the matter. When Tesla launched the Model Y in March 2019, the company listed four different versions of the electric SUV: Standard Range, Long Range, Dual Motor AWD (with a Long Range battery), and Performance (also with a Long Range battery)." says Electrek today: "Tesla put a few Model Y LR RWD vehicles through a trial run on its GA4 assembly line before temporarily shutting it down for upgrades. The automaker has yet to open orders for the new version of the vehicle. Tesla didn’t confirm the price yet, but Musk hinted at $45,000 when first announcing the new version, and earlier this week, we reported that Tesla surprisingly lists Model Y Long Range RWD for $48,000 on its loan calculator." https://electrek.co/2020/08/01/tesla-starts-trial-production-model-y-long-range-rear-wheel-drive/ You can listen to all 856 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.

Show #807 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 12th June 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. FORD-VW JOINT VENTURE DETAILS FINALIZED Two years ago, Ford and VW announced they’d explore the possibility of jointly developing vehicles. A year later, they expanded their partnership, and today, the two detail the specifics. As early as next year, we could see the two commercial vans arrive, too. The smaller city van will be based on the latest VW Caddy model, while the one-ton cargo van is likely a replacement for the Ford Transit." reports Motor1: "Ford will also build an electric vehicle for Europe using Volkswagen’s electric MEB platform. Eight million vans and trucks could be produced over the products’ life cycles, according to the companies. That doesn’t include the estimated 600,000-plus EVs Ford could build every year, either." https://www.motor1.com/news/428019/ford-volkswagen-finalize-joint-venture/ VW E-GOLF #1 IN MAY IN NETHERLANDS, TESLA MODEL 3 LEADER IN 2020 " last month we saw the veteran VW e-Golf win its first monthly best seller title in 15 months, with 221 deliveries, just edging out April’s best seller, the Kia Niro EV (217 units) and its cousin, the Hyundai Kona EV (212)." says CleanTechnica: "Other surprises last month were the #6 Volvo XC40 PHEV and #7 Ford Kuga PHEV, with the Swede being last month’s best selling PHEV while the American crossover registered its best score so far, with 118 units, the highest score for a Ford in this market since December 2015, when 538 C-Max Energi (remember this one?) were registered. And why is this interesting? After years of Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV domination, the PHEV race is now more open" https://cleantechnica.com/2020/06/10/vw-e-golf-1-in-may-in-netherlands-tesla-model-3-leader-in-2020/ CANADIAN SHOP CRACKED TESLA'S ACCELERATION BOOST The Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD and Performance versions are engineered similarly, with Tesla previously saying motors which tested to have higher performance were to be used in the faster version. However more recently there are reports that the cars are identical. And if you do own a LR AWD you can go back to Tesla anytime, pay $2000 and they'll unlock more performance. "What if you could bypass Tesla entirely and get your performance boost for just over half the price? a shop in Quebec, Canada called Simon André figured out how to swap a single-motor Tesla Model 3 to a dual-motor setup, and part of doing that meant busting into the power inverter's software to reconfigure it. Once the shop hacked its way through Tesla's IP, it found that switching to dual motors wasn't the only thing it could do. It could also add Tesla's 50 horsepower Acceleration Boost without clearance from the Tesla mothership." writes CNET: "Acceleration Boost usually would set you back $2,000 -- that's one hell of an in-app purchase -- but once this shop figured out how to unlock the boost itself. Now, the shop's owner spun off a new (and likely short-lived) company called Ingenext that offers an increase of just $1,100 as the "Boost 50" upgrade. even a full conversion from Model 3 Dual Motor to Performance spec which it calls the Ghost upgrade and adds 150 horsepower to your car." https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-shop-hacks-acceleration-boost-model-3/ HYUNDAI AND KIA HONING HEAT-PUMP TECH "Hyundai and Kia, which share their parent company and some research and development resources, began using heat pumps in 2014 on the first-generation Kia Soul EV, and now most (but not all) of the two automakers' electric cars use them. As with other automakers, the heat pumps in current Hyundai and Kia vehicles turn refrigerant from a liquid to a gas, which is used to heat the cabin. This is more efficient than the resistance heating used in traditional systems, and minimizes the amount of energy drawn from the battery pack." says Green Car Reports: "The latest system is able to scavenge heat from a wide array of components, including the drive motor, inverter, onboard charger, and the battery pack itself, according to Hyundai. That heat is what turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas. A recent test of 20 EVs by the Norwegian Automotive Federation (NAF) appeared to prove Hyundai and Kia's point. In that test, a European-spec Hyundai Kona Electric not only recorded the longest range in cold weather, it also came closest to its European WLTP range rating, achieving 91% of that figure. Hyundai and Kia said they are continuing to test and refine their heat-pump tech, hoping to make additional improvements for next-generation EVs." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128440_hyundai-and-kia-honing-heat-pump-tech-for-next-generation-evs ALL-ELECTRIC CITROEN E-C4 CROSSOVER DEBUT ANNOUNCED FOR JUNE 30 "The C4 Cactus was one of the quirkiest looking recent Citroens that really hearkened back to the wacky character of older models sold by the dual chevron brand. Now it’s going to be replaced by an all-new model that ditches the Cactus from its name and is also available with a pure electric powertrain for the first time ever. This all-electric model is going to be called the e-C4 and Citroen has now confirmed that it will be officially unveiled on June 30" reports Yahoo! News: "What we already knew about the model was the fact that it is going to be underpinned by the same CMP platform atop which smaller models like the Peugeot e-208 and e-2008, as well as the DS3 Crossback are built. And the electric e-C4 variant will most likely feature the exact same battery pack and motor setup. This means it’s going to have 136 bhp and 260 Nm (192 pound-feet) of torque and it will draw from a 50 kWh battery pack. The similar-size e-2008 has a claimed WLTP range of 310 km (193 miles), and we expect the e-C4 to be very similar in this respect." https://uk.news.yahoo.com/electric-citroen-e-c4-crossover-130000396.html LG CHEM HAS BEGUN MASS PRODUCTION OF NCM712 BATTERIES IN POLAND "LG Chem began mass production of NCM712 batteries in the 1st quarter of 2020. These batteries dramatically cut down on the use of cobalt in electric vehicle batteries (7 parts nickel to 1 part cobalt to 2 parts manganese), thus helping to cut costs. These batteries also have greater energy density than previous batteries" says Clean Technica: "The Wroclaw LG Chem plant is the largest EV battery production facility in Europe and mostly produces batteries for the Renault Zoe and Volkswagen Group vehicles (such as the Audi e-tron and Porsche Taycan). These particular batteries, “LGX E78” batteries, are reportedly being used in the Volkswagen ID.3 and new Renault Zoe." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/06/11/lg-chem-began-mass-production-of-ncm712-batteries-in-poland-in-q1/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK How far does a plug-in hybrid need to drive on EV power only?

Show #796 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 1st June 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. Welcome to a new PREMIUM PARTNER of the podcast it's VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST. Thank you for the Bill Woeste for his support and for all of the teams who are looking forward to the Volvo XC40 Recharge. https://www.volvocarscincinnatieast.com/ 100KW CHARGING SPEED FOR PEUGEOT E-208 CONFIRMED IN TESTS "Am watching @BjornNyland testing a Peugeot e-208 on a 1000km challenge and, at 11% state of charge, it's currently at 99.8kW charge speed. That's quick compared to it's competition (Zoe 50, MG ZS, IONIQ). Water cooled battery pack, heat pump too, they've done well with it. Isn't it the same chassis as DS 3 Crossback E-Tense and Vauxhall/Opel Corsa-E? All three certainly have exactly the same specs, 50kWh pack with 100kW charging (7kW onboard, optional 11kW). Although somehow the Pug and DS are 0-60 in 8.7 secs, but the Corsa is 7.6 secs. Hmm. They all have the same 100kW/136hp motor. For a quick splash & dash, the Peugeot will beat the Renault IF you can find a 150kW charger. But the charge curves, when going all the way >90%, Zoe will keep taking 30kW+ whilst the e-208 seems to go down to single figures, so the Zoe starts to 'catch up' (if that makes sense)." www.twitter.com/evnewsdaily ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES ARE PREDICTED TO SURGE IN 2021 "A new report by Cairn Energy Research Advisors, a research firm focused on the battery and EV industries, predicts a surge in electric vehicle sales in 2021 as countries around the world push new programs to encourage consumers to buy battery powered vehicles. Cairn estimates global sales of EVs in 2021 will jump 36% and top 3 million vehicles for the first time ever." says CNBC Markets: "Production of electric vehicles is estimated to climb to at least 1.3 million and could reach 1.5 million depending on market conditions this year, according to Bernstein analyst Mark Newman. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives raised his price target for Tesla from $600 to $800 saying, "we continue to believe EV demand in China is starting to accelerate with Tesla competing with a number of domestic and international competitors for this market share. Meanwhile, Cairn Energy Research predicts the biggest growth in EV sales next year will happen in Europe, mainly because governments in the EU are committed to lowering carbon dioxide emissions. That commitment is pushing countries like France to roll out new incentives to convince residents to buy electric cars. In announcing a new bonus for people to buy an electric car, France President Emmanuel Macron said he wanted France to become the top producer in Europe of clean vehicles. While the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are likely to get the lions share of mass market sales, there are several new models including the Ford Mustang Mach-E and General Motor's Hummer EV SUV that will focus more attention on the electric market. In addition, several electric pickup trucks are scheduled to roll out by the end of 2021." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/29/led-by-tesla-electric-vehicle-sales-are-predicted-to-surge-in-2021.html RIVIAN ENLISTS FORMER TESLA EMPLOYEES TO BUILD ITS OWN SUPERCHARGER-STYLE NETWORK "It seems the Amazon-backed electric adventure vehicle startup Rivian is taking a leaf, and employees, out of the Tesla playbook before it launches its debut vehicles. Rivian has started work on its “adventure network,” its Tesla Supercharger rival, and its hired Carrington Bradley, Tesla’s former senior manager of charger deployment, to do it" says TheNextWeb: "Whilst at Tesla, Bradley was responsible for managing a team of project managers to “design, permit, and build” Supercharger locations. Under Bradley’s leadership, Tesla grew from building 50 to 150 Supercharger sites per year. The electric SUV startup has also hired Kit Ahuja — who was formerly a manager at Tesla — to be director of the Rivian Adventure Network. The company also recruited Sara Eslinger, formerly head of electric vehicle deployment at ride-share firm Lyft. It certainly looks like Rivian is getting ready to charge ahead, ahem, with its network. Having people with a successful track record in this year could be a boon for the startup." https://thenextweb.com/shift/2020/06/02/rivian-enlists-former-tesla-employees-build-supercharger-style-network/ GEELY'S POLESTAR PLANS CHINA SHOWROOM EXPANSION TO COMPETE WITH TESLA "Polestar, the premium electric vehicle maker owned by China's Geely, plans a big expansion of its showroom network in the mainland, sources said, as it prepares for delivery of cars to compete with Tesla Inc's locally made Model 3. Showroom strength is becoming an important differentiator for electric vehicle (EV) makers in the world's biggest auto and EV market, as they line up new model launches" according to ChannelNewsAsia: "Polestar, which plans to deliver Polestar 2 electric sedans in China from July, currently has one showroom, in the capital Beijing. It plans to have 20 showrooms, with most of them opening in the third quarter of this year. Unlike sales of cars through dealers that most traditional automakers rely on, Polestar will sell directly to customers. In China, Tesla has over 50 showrooms. Nio currently operates around 110 showrooms, with some of the properties belonging to partners. Xpeng plans to have over 200 outlets " And there are hybrid versions in China like WM Motor, which has it's own Spaces to see the cars, and then partners who look after Sales, delivery and services." https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/geely-s-polestar-plans-china-showroom-expansion-to-compete-with-tesla--sources-say-12795202 BUFFETT-BACKED BYD TO SUPPLY EV BATTERIES TO FORD "Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker BYD Co Ltd (002594.SZ), (1211.HK) will supply EV batteries to U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co (F.N), a document on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed on Monday. Ford’s China venture with Changan Automobile (000625.SZ) is seeking government approval to build a plug-in hybrid model equipped with BYD’s batteries, according to the document." writes Reuters today: "This marks BYD’s first-known battery supply deal with a major global automaker. Shenzhen-based BYD, which is backed by U.S. investor Warren Buffett, said it would supply EV components including batteries and power management devices." https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-ford-byd-electric/buffett-backed-byd-to-supply-ev-batteries-to-ford-idUKKBN2381VJ RENAULT, NISSAN AND MITSUBISHI EVS AND PHEVS SHARE UPPER BODIES "The companies said they would share "upper bodies" of same segment cars besides platforms. Would that mean all EVs and PHEVs would look the same? Renault sells Dacia cars in Latin America with its diamond-shaped logo. The Nissan Aprio is nothing more than a badge-engineered first-generation Dacia Logan. The intention with the upper bodies was not to have to redo everything from company to company. There are things clients do not see, and that can be common, something Delbos names as "first upper body." Unfortunately, she did not detail what this structure would be." says InsideEVs: "It is a step further than the Common Module Families (CMF) strategy. If the three carmakers can share the platforms and the first upper body, they can have savings of up to 40 percent. each company will have its own teams working on the first upper body and on what she called "sister upper bodies" – the part that would ensure each car would look like a proper Renault, Nissan, or Mitsubishi. The interim CEO – who is waiting for Luca de Meo to take the helm on July 1 – also wishes that all the same-segment cars from the three companies can be produced in the same factory. That will lower idle capacity and allow for plant closure, another cost-cutting measure. Renault wants to save €2 billion and will fire 15,000 people. That means that the Nissan Ariya will probably already be developed to allow for a Renault and Mitsubishi derivatives. The PHEV vehicles from Renault could also present Nissan options. The Captur PHEV could help a Juke PHEV to be sold in the future, for example. The future Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV could be the basis for a new Renault Kadjar, even if we believe the Nissan Qashqai will lead the pack." https://insideevs.com/news/426271/will-renault-nissan-mitsubishi-evs-look-alike/ TESLA STOCK REELS IN $900 FOLLOWING ELON MUSK’S BIG SPACE ACHIEVEMENT "At the time of writing, Tesla stock traded at $873.95. The surge in price could be attributed to projections that the electric vehicle sector will skyrocket in 2021 based on a new report by Cairn Energy Research Advisors. Musk’s success over the weekend with the newly-earned bonus and successful SpaceX launch may have attributed to the stock price increase as well. SpaceX became the first privatized company to successfully launch NASA astronauts into orbit." reports Teslarati. From the comments: "Space X and Tesla) are two different companies in different market segments but human nature being what it is, will (and have) draw a connection between the successful launch of the Crew Dragon to the ISS and the value of the car company. Had it been the other way around and the launch had failed, I have no doubt that the people who are anti-Tesla would have had a "field day" with equating that event with Tesla's viability as a company." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-stock-reels-in-900-following-elon-musks-big-space-achievement-analyst-upgrades/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK Critics say EVs are on the for the rich, so what do you view as ‘affordable’ prices?

Show #791 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 27th 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. TESLA CUTS PRICES IN NORTH AMERICA AND CHINA "Tesla has cut prices in North America on all of its cars except the Model Y by up to 6%. The delivery times for custom ordered Model 3’s has been reduced from 5–7 weeks to 3–5 weeks for the Standard Range Plus trim and 4–5 weeks for the other Model 3’s. Similarly, the custom order times for the Model X and S have shifted from 3–7 weeks to 4–6 weeks." says CleanTEchnica: "While the price cuts are desirable from a buyer’s standpoint and help Tesla advance its mission of accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy, they do show that Tesla’s demand for cars has been affected somewhat by the worldwide health crisis." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/05/27/breaking-tesla-cuts-model-3-x-s-prices-up-to-6-in-north-america-model-y-unchanged/ CNBC notes: "Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced earlier this month that the price of the company’s advanced driver assistance system, which Tesla markets as “FSD” or “full self-driving,” would increase this July by $1,000, with more increases in the future. During Tesla’s Q1 earnings call, executives also said Tesla would offer FSD as a subscription service. Musk said at that time, of the subscription option, “It will be probably toward the end of this year.” https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/27/tesla-price-cuts-show-realism-in-face-of-coronavirus-slowdown.html TechCrunch said: "The base price of Model 3 standard range plus is now $37,990, a $2,000 reduction. But the biggest cuts were made to Tesla’s more expensive, luxury vehicles, the Model S sedan and the Model X SUV. The Model S long range plus now starts at $74,990, a decrease of $5,000. The more expensive Model S performance as well as the two Model X configurations also saw prices slashed by $5,000. The traditional big three U.S. automakers, Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, have turned to 0% financing rates as well as deferred or longer-term payment options." https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/27/tesla-cuts-prices-across-ev-line-up-ends-free-supercharging-for-model-s-model-x/ "All the pricier trims are also cheaper than yesterday. For example, a Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive Model 3 with Long Range now costs $46,990, down from $48,990. And the Performance Model 3 costs $54,990, down from $56,990. Pricier Model S and Model X trims all got a $5,000 price reduction " repotrs Mashable: "It's worth noting that the cheapest Model 3 still costs $35,000, but that one's not listed on Tesla's website; you have to call Tesla or physically visit a Tesla store to get it. The price of Tesla's Model Y, for which the deliveries started in March, remained unchanged." https://mashable.com/article/tesla-price-cuts/ Tesla has also removed its mention of free Supercharging on new Model S and Model X orders. ALL-ELECTRIC VOLVO XC40 RECHARGE NOW AVAILABLE FOR UK CUSTOMERS TO ORDER The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric – Volvo’s first all-electric car – is now available for UK customers to order. The first of five fully electric cars to be launched by the Swedish company over the next five years, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric P8 is capable of travelling more than 249 miles on a single charge. The XC40 P8’s long range does not come at the expense of performance, with its twin electric motors producing 408hp to deliver a 0-62mph time of only 4.9 seconds. The lack of an internal combustion engine frees up space for an additional 30-litre storage compartment or ‘frunk’ under the front bonnet, while the placement of the batteries under the centre of the car means space is not compromised elsewhere. Initially offered in R-Design specification, the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is available from £53,155, with UK deliveries expected to start in early 2021. 78kWh battery. fast charging up to 150kW. 1,500kg towing (towbar is £1,125). Climate & Heated seats: 775 Driver assist: 1550 Power seats: 624 Parking cams: 575 Glass roof: 1000 Wireless phone charger: 175 Heat pump: 575 The heat pump acts primarily as a range extender that helps save battery power in the pure electric XC40 Recharge. When it’s cold outside, it transports thermal energy from either the ambient air or the battery and releases this energy to heat up the cabin. This transport of heat is provided by a compressor which consumes less energy compared to the car's standard electrical heater. And by also supporting the air conditioner to work more efficiently, the heat pump helps save electric energy at a temperature range from 0°C up to 25–30°C. The heat pump can also help warm or cool the battery to optimise performance and range during long trips or heavy loads. TOYOTA REVEALS PROACE ELECTRIC "Toyota officially introduces the all-electric PROACE Electric delivery van (hinted in 2019) in selected European markets. Reservations are already being accepted and the first units will be delivered in October 2020 (in the Netherlands, for example)." says INsdieEVs: "The Toyota PROACE Electric is basically a rebadged version of EV vans from PSA Group, based on the EMP2 multi-energy platform. The French group previously announced: Peugeot e-Expert Citroën ë-Jumpy (aka Citroën ë-Dispatch) Opel Vivaro-e / Vauxhall Vivaro-e The specification is basically the same, including two battery options: 50 kWh battery for WLTP range of 230 km 75 kWh battery for WLTP range of 330 km https://insideevs.com/news/425503/toyota-proace-electric-15-year-battery-warranty/ BMW X2 XDRIVE25E SAC PHEV TO BE LAUNCHED JULY 2020 "BMW will launch the new X2 xDrive25e SAC (“Sport Activity Coupé”) PHEV, announced in January (earlier post), in Europe in July 2020 with pricing from €47,250 (US$51,800)." reports Green Car Congress: "The new BMW X2 xDrive25e features the fourth and latest generation of BMW eDrive technology developed for the plug-in hybrid models. An electric motor generating an output of 70 kW/95 hp and a high-voltage battery with a gross energy content of 10.0 kWh enable an all-electric range of up to 57 kilometers in the legal EU test cycle (35 miles). Together, the 3-cylinder combustion engine, which delivers torque to the front wheels, and the electric motor powering the rear wheels produce a system output of 162 kW/220 hp and create a hybrid all-wheel drive configuration. The new BMW X2 xDrive25e sprints from a standing start to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds." HYUNDAI MOTOR GROUP TO GET ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERIES FROM LG CHEM "Hyundai Motor Group, which includes Hyundai Motor and its sister company Kia Motors has picked LG Chem as one of the battery suppliers for its upcoming new electric vehicles, a group spokesman said on Wednesday." reports Reuters: "Details of the supply contract including the electric vehicle (EV) model and the full amount of the deal, which are yet to be decided, will be confidential, the spokesman said. LG Chem declined to comment. Hyundai Motor said last year it would launch 16 EV models by 2025 with an aim to boost EV sales to 560,000 by then." https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hyundai-motor-lg-chem-electric-batter/hyundai-motor-group-to-get-electric-vehicle-batteries-from-lg-chem-idUSKBN2331FR AUDI E-TRON IS THE NEW KING OF NORWAY "Norway remains one of the most fascinating auto markets in the world. With a 70% plug-in vehicle market share in the first 4 months of 2020, there is nothing that comes close to it. That isn’t an overnight figure either — the country has been far ahead of any other market in terms of plug-in vehicle market share for several years."That said, the market leader is now a vehicle that would typically be outside the price range of a working class family in other countries, but Norway is a rich country (very rich country) with adventurous terrain, so it makes a bit of sense. The Audi e-tron isn’t just first — it’s far ahead in the #1 spot so far this year." says CleanTechnica: "A German model that was in the #1 spot for many, many months, the Volkswagen e-Golf, is solidly in second at 6% market share. After that, you’ve got the Nissan LEAF, Hyundai Kona EV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Tesla Model 3, Renault Zoe, BMW i3, and then a long tail of remaining PEVs. You also have a handful of plug-less vehicles scattered into the overall sales rankings (see charts below)." https://cleantechnica.com/2020/05/25/audi-e-tron-is-the-new-king-of-norway/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK What are your desired specs for an electric pick-up truck?

MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES ITS ELECTRIC EQV MINIVAN FOR ~$64,000 "Mercedes-Benz is launching its electric EQV minivan in Europe for €71,388.10 (incl. 19% VAT), which is the equivalent of a sticker price of about ~$64,000 USD." says Electrek: "The electric EQV MPV was first unveiled last year when we learned that it is equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack, but the company is limiting the usable capacity to 90 kWh. They believe it’s going to result in 405 km (250 miles) of range on a single charge. To charge the battery pack, the EQV is equipped with an 11 kW on-board charger and it can DC fast-charge at up to 110 kW, which Mercedes claims can charge the battery pack from 10 to 80% in less than 45 min. The electric van will be available as part of its V-Class lineup in Europe, but no availability has been confirmed for the North American market." https://electrek.co/2020/05/26/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-minivan-price/ CarBuzz said: "Like the EQC SUV, the EQV features a similar sealed-off grille design. Riding on 18-inch wheels, it’s certainly one of the smarter vans around. Although still unconfirmed for the local market, the EQV will be offered elsewhere with two wheelbase lengths, the longer one stretching to 135 inches. It can seat up to eight passengers and accommodate 36.4 cubic feet of their luggage. Pretty nifty for a zero-emissions vehicle." https://carbuzz.com/cars/mercedes-benz/eqv And Green Car Reports says: "A new feature offers a particularly efficient and comfortable driving style: recuperation level DAUTO. According to the maxim “drive ahead and save energy” information from the security assistants, the navigation system and the camera get connected and adjust the strength of the recuperation situation—specifically and in real time. In addition, four driving programs help the customer to choose individually between the maximum of comfort and the maximum of range while driving." https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/05/20200526-eqv.html KIA IS CONSIDERING AN ULTRA-SMALL ELECTRIC CAR "Kia is examining plans to build a purely electric miniature car in the style of the Citroën Ami. Although the South Korean company has not revealed a timetable for these plans, it seems that Kia is already considering a new distribution model for the electric microcar." says Carrie from Electrive: "In a candid interview with AutoExpress Emilio Herrera, COO of Kia in Europe confirmed the company’s considerations. The mini electric car for urban areas – if it is realized – will be offered for rent globally via a subscription model. “The idea is to have a dedicated platform from Kia that we could possibly share with Hyundai,” Herrera said. The Kia manager did not name a timetable for a possible market launch of the small electric car. AutoExpress is expecting a corresponding production model in 2022. Citroën introduced the Ami at the end of February. The small two-seater in a strongly stylised design is to be available at prices starting at 6,000 euros or a monthly leasing rate of 19.99 euros (four years, 10,000 kilometres per year) in France. Pricing models for other European markets have not yet been revealed. Since Herrera spoke of a “dedicated platform” for the very small electric car, it does not seem likely to be the skateboard platform from Canoo. " https://www.electrive.com/2020/05/26/kia-is-considering-an-ultra-small-electric-car/ RUMOR: IN APRIL TESLA RECEIVED ABOUT 15,000 ORDERS FOR MIC MODEL 3 LR "According to the Chinese media (via Moneyball), Tesla has received in April close to 15,000 orders for the new Long Range Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3. It's an unofficial number." reports InsideEVs: "t's great news that the demand for the upcoming LR (rear-wheel drive) is high because Tesla intends to produce in China some 4,000 Model 3 per week as early as in June. The last month was weaker than expected, as Model 3 registrations amounted to 4,312, up to 3-4 times less than anticipated production output (at 3,000 per week). It's explained that consumers were delaying orders of the Standard Range Model 3 to get a more attractive price (after changes in subsidies). Only time will tell whether sales in China will really stabilize at 4,000 per week (or 12,000 per month) for all versions (SR and LR)." https://insideevs.com/news/425337/tesla-15000-orders-model-3-lr/ AUDI E-TRON IS THE NEW KING OF NORWAY "Norway remains one of the most fascinating auto markets in the world.

It was not immediately unclear if the support plan has specific conditions in terms of moving production back to France, although Renault will reportedly build electric motors at a plant in Normandy rather than in Asia, as previously planned, in order to access state aid. Renault will also lend its weight to the Battery Alliance, a pan-European industrial push to boost battery production and increase supply in check with growing demand for electric vehicles. Macron’s €8bn scheme is also aimed at consumers, who will be able to benefit from new and improved subsidy schemes worth around €1bn. For electric cars, the current premium of €6,000 for private citizens will increase to €7,000, while plug-in hybrids will be worth €2,000." https://www.euractiv.com/section/electric-cars/news/macron-demands-carmakers-turn-to-made-in-france-for-e8bn-virus-aid/ RECORD €60BN INVESTMENT IN ELECTRIC CARS AND BATTERIES IN EUROPE SECURED LAST YEAR Europe secured €60 billion in investments to produce electric vehicles and batteries last year – 19 times more than in 2018, new analysis shows. Driven by EU car CO2 targets, industry and governments committed 3.5 times more into EV and battery production in Europe than they did in China, according to T&E’s report. Germany got the biggest chunk, €40 billion, coming mainly from the Volkswagen Group, and Tesla which announced a plant in Berlin. The Czech Republic received €6.6 billion, also thanks to VW, which plans to produce 75 all-electric models worldwide by 2029. Italy secured €1.75 billion in EV investments last year from Fiat, while France, Sweden and the UK each got around €1 billion from car manufacturers. Spain received close to €300 million from Opel, and Croatia got €80 million from Hyundai and Kia. BYD BLADE PRISMATIC BATTERY CELL SPECS AND POSSIBILITIES "Simpler battery packs made with fewer and larger battery cells weren’t possible with compromised platforms like MQB, however in skateboard platforms like MEB – specially made for electric cars -, they are not only possible, they are what makes sense. Only in late 2016, high energy density battery cells started to be available in pouch format, like the LGX E63 made by LG Chem." says PushEVs: "In 2020, assembling big battery packs with tiny cells doesn’t make sense and I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla announces a battery pack made with cobalt-free prismatic battery cells in “battery day”. This would be great, not only for Tesla, but also for electric bicycle manufacturers who would benefit from an immediate increase of cylindrical cells available on the market. BYD Blade Battery is a module-less CTP (cell-to-pack) battery pack. Without modules, the long prismatic battery cells connected in series are put in an array and then inserted into a battery pack, making it as simple as possible. The simplicity of the CTP technology helps to achieve a good energy density at the battery pack level, even if the energy density of the cells isn’t amazing." https://pushevs.com/2020/05/26/byd-blade-prismatic-battery-cell-specs-possibilities/ RENAULT CAPTUR PLUG-IN HYBRID SPEC REVEALED Renault UK has confirmed full specifications of new E-TECH version of the two all-new Renault Captur Plug-in Hybrid. The All-New Captur Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) benefits from a new petrol-electric powertrain, making it the most efficient and economical in the range as well as the most powerful.

Show #728 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 25th March 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time. Welcome to a new PRODUCER PETER BØDKER LG CHEM SUSPENDS EV BATTERY FACTORY IN MICHIGAN "Korean battery makers based in the US are also temporarily reducing factory operations. Upon the stay-at-home order of the Michigan state government issued on Tuesday, LG Chem and Samsung SDI have nearly closed their electric vehicle battery factories there." reports Korea Herald: "LG Chem has limited its production battery cells for EVs with limited staff in Holland. Samsung SDI has a battery pack plant in Auburn Hills, and has temporarily suspended operations as local employees have been ordered to stay at home. As the state order is valid for three weeks, both battery plants are expected to shut down for the next three weeks. Meanwhile, the companies’ battery factories in Poland and Hungary are operating as usual." http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200325000738 CORONAVIRUS MAY GET AMERICA TO PASS ITS BIGGEST CLIMATE BILL YET "Action on climate change in Washington, DC happens in tiny, arcane steps" says Quartz today, pointing out that this crisis could result in a moonshot piece of lawmaking which benefits the environment: "as Congress tries to resuscitate the economy, the bills that follow have the potential to include the first big climate legislation since the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in 2009. Democrats in the Senate held up a public health and disaster relief bill this week by demanding accountability for how the money will be spent. They called for attaching conditions to industry bailouts, including greenhouse gas emission reductions from airlines." Quartz explains how it worked last time: "Starting in 2008, GM and Chrysler took about $80 billion from the US Treasury before declaring bankruptcy and restructuring operations. The Obama administration used the moment to curb the industry’s emissions, implementing strict new fuel efficiency standards. By 2025, the 54.5-miles-per-gallon standard will roughly halve emissions from cars and light trucks. Airlines and cruise lines may be next." https://qz.com/1824804/coronavirus-could-lead-america-to-pass-its-biggest-climate-bill-ever/ And from Climate Change News: "For example, an automotive company could be bailed out on the condition it accelerates the electrification of the fleet when the immediate crisis passes. NGO Transport & Environment has urged EU governments to make any financial aid to airlines conditional on carriers paying taxes and starting to use low-carbon fuels once conditions improved. While stabilisation packages might not immediately assist the clean energy transition, the extraordinary scale of the response by governments and central banks is setting a precedent for similar measures to be rolled out to tackle the climate crisis." https://www.climatechangenews.com/2020/03/23/governments-urged-attach-green-strings-long-term-coronavirus-recovery-plans/ MODEL Y HAS RADAR HEATER TO SOLVE AUTOPILOT ISSUES @greentheonly This just in, Model Y has radar heater outlined on the wiring diagrams. Johannes Brorsson Can you tell if Model Y has the new 100M wiring? @greentheonly it does not. From CNET: "If your car has any sort of active safety or driver assist features, you probably know they may go offline should snow or ice cover their radar and other sensors. It's not a problem exclusive to Tesla, but the electric carmaker has installed a nifty system in its latest vehicle to help Autopilot operate in the coldest conditions. On Wednesday, a Twitter user published a wiring diagram for the Tesla Model Y that shows the electric SUV comes with a radar heater. With heat sent to the radar unit, it should help Autopilot operate even if the rest of the Model Y becomes caked with snow or ice." https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-model-y-heated-radar-autopilot-cold/ WASHINGTON CHARGES UP FOR ELECTRIC CARS "Amid the devastating pandemic gripping the state of Washington, the state government is working hard to support healthcare providers, assist workers and businesses, and educate the public about keeping safe and healthy in these unprecedented times" reports NRDC.org: "ZEV requires automakers to ensure that at least 7 to 8% of new passenger vehicles are partly or fully zero-emitting by 2025, which will double the options Washington consumers will have available to them. The program is in place in eleven other states across the country, including most recently Colorado. Together those states comprise 30% of the U.S. auto market." https://www.nrdc.org/experts/simon-mui/washington-charges-electric-cars THIS $200,000 ELECTRIC SPORTS CAR COMES WITH A HOLOGRAPHIC DRIVING INSTRUCTOR "UK-based boutique carmaker Apex Motors unveiled its latest electric supercar, the AP-0 concept, earlier this month. The concept car boasts a carbon-fiber body and wheels, a feet-forward driving position, and a bumper-shredding ground clearance of just 3.7 inches. A beefy, 650-horsepower electric motor powers the rear wheels and sends the lightweight car to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds, and the AP-0's design is dominated by a giant tail fin that Apex says is a nod to the styling of Le Mans and Formula One racers." says Business Insider: "Looks aside, the AP-0 does offer up some impressive features, if they ever make their way into a production model. The car promises a feet-forward driving position — where the feet stretch out in front of the hips, as opposed to having them below the waist like in most passenger cars — and an augmented-reality race instructor."

Gigafactory 3 turned out 2,625 Model 3 cars in January 2020 and its weekly capacity has been hiked to more than 3,000 cars at present, with a target output of 150,000 Model 3 cars for 2020." https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20200324PD207.html NEW UK TEST FACILITY TO STREAMLINE EV BATTERY DEVELOPMENT AND OPTIMISATION TIME "Mahle Powertrain has opened a new, dedicated facility for the extensive testing of battery modules as a response to the growing time and cost pressures facing vehicle manufacturers seeking to develop latest generation automotive electrification technologies." writes Renewable Energy Magazine:L " the battery pack assembly and testing facility enables testing under simulated drive-cycle conditions to evaluate the performance of battery systems in real-use environments. Included within the testing remit is the ability to assess cells, modules and battery packs for steady state testing of open circuit voltage, storage capacity and thermal characteristics, including voltage response under high discharge, thermal behaviour and internal resistance.. The facility can conduct tests within the temperature range of -40oC to 100oC with precise humidity control." https://www.renewableenergymagazine.com/electric_hybrid_vehicles/new-uk-test-facility-to-streamline-ev-20200324 NEW EMISSIONS RULES PUSHES GERMANY TO EVS "Under Europe's new CO2 rules, Germany has seen a spike in fully electric and hybrid vehicle sales." says Stuff.co.nz: " battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) jumped in volume by 76 per cent year-on-year for February sales. This is a good increase but it's nothing compared to how much the German market has embraced plug-in hybrids, which has grown by a whopping 279 per cent. In total, February saw record electrified sales of 16,508 units. All in, electric and electrified vehicle sales accounted for 6.9 per cent of the market for February and 6.7 per cent for the year so far. Volkswagen e-Golf took the top step in Germany, selling 1475 units over February. It was trailed by the Renault Zoe (1352) while the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV took a distant third with 821 sales." https://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/120495796/new-emissions-rules-pushes-germany-to-evs 5 APPS FOR FINDING EV CHARGING STATIONS PlugShare shows the locations of over 300,000 charging stations worldwide.

Show #693 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 10th February 2020. 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 CLUB SHINES AT LARGEST EAST COAST EV EVENT "The adoption of electric cars has been growing at an experiential rate over recent years, and that growth was prominently on display at the recent EVs & Tea meetup, The local event, which was based in Miami, Florida, garnered national attention as a result of its larger than expected turnout." says EV Bite: " Rather than just meeting up at an empty parking lot, as is common with most EV events, the hosts provided structure and a list of activities. The event featured the ever-popular Starman as well as a scale model of the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck. In addition to these, multiple public discussions were held centered around electric vehicles and their infrastructure. Several notable EV personalities were there to answer questions and concerns from fans and skeptics alike. Tesla themselves brought a representative with a few cars and even Jaguar and Audi stopped by to show off the new I-PACEs and E-Tron." https://evbite.com/tesla-club-shines-at-largest-east-coast-ev-event/ PLANS FOR OPEL BATTERY FACTORY "The carmaker Opel has set itself the goal of producing "the best, most efficient and most environmentally friendly battery cells" at the Kaiserslautern site. Not only an important day for Prime Minister Dreyer." says SWR.de: " Construction of the new production facility will begin in 2023 and the first section will go into operation in 2024. According to Lohscheller, up to half a million batteries for electric cars could be built in Kaiserslautern every year after the new plant was completed. The most important details about the planned battery plant in Kaiserslautern had been known since December. In addition to the plant in Kaiserslautern, there should be a second factory in France. The French battery manufacturer Saft and the Opel parent company PSA plan to invest a total of six billion euros in the two factories. The factory is funded by France, Germany and the EU with a total of 1.3 billion euros. That is why Federal Minister of Economics Altmaier traveled to Kaiserslautern. The said that the federal government would "participate with a considerable three-digit million amount". "I hope that we can specify the amount in the coming weeks."" https://www.swr.de/swraktuell/rheinland-pfalz/kaiserslautern/Wirtschaftsminister-besucht-Opel-Werk-Kaiserslautern-Plaene-fuer-Opel-Batteriefabrik-wurden-vorgestellt,kaiserslautern-opel-batteriewerk-100.html JAGUAR HALTS ELECTRIC SUV OVER BATTERY SHORTAGES "Jaguar’s best-selling I-PACE electric car has a problem: it has run out of batteries." says The Times: "Jaguar is halting production of the £61,000 SUV at a factory in Graz, Austria, for a week from Monday next week because of a shortage of lithium-ion batteries. The I-Pace’s batteries are supplied by South Korean electronics giant LG Chem, which makes them at a factory in Wroclaw, Poland. Jaguar’s woes reflect car-makers’ struggles to meet surging demand for electric cars and slash emissions while relying on fragile supply chains. Jaguar sold about 18,000 I-Paces last year and it won the top prize at last year’s World Car of the Year awards. Ministers last week unveiled a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/jaguar-halts-electric-suv-over-battery-shortages-7jhbhnmsh THESE 10 CARS LOSE THE LEAST VALUE ONE YEAR AFTER DRIVING OFF THE LOT The Tesla Model 3 leads the ranking with a loss in value of 5.5% ($2,529) in a year. ISeeCars' study notes: "Tesla Model 3 average new car price estimated by applying used car trim distribution to pre-rebate new car prices as of February 5, 2020." There simply aren't many of them on the used market, and there are a large number of people who want one. https://www.motor1.com/features/397480/10-lowest-value-loss-vehicles/4723095/ AIRSTREAM LOOKS TO ELECTRIFICATION FOR ITS FUTURE CAMPERS "Airstream campers are some of the most recognizable shapes on the road. The company's aluminum-bodied trailers are super cool, and their design hasn't changed much over the past 90 years. Yet even with this focus on retro design, Airstream knows it has to adapt to the future." reports CNET Roadshow: " Airstream is actively working on tech that could incorporate an electric drivetrain into a camper. Airstream is experimenting with mounting an electric motor on the trailer's axle, which could power the rear wheels and provide extra driving force while towing. Of course, there are a number of hurdles to overcome while developing this technology. The key objective is to make it so the trailer is never pushing up against the tow vehicle. The two entities need to work in harmony." https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/airstream-electrification-future-plans/ SWEDEN AMAZES WITH 31% PLUG-IN EV CAR MARKET SHARE IN JANUARY 2020 "The passenger plug-in electric car market in Sweden almost doubled, reaching its all-time highs in January 2020." picks up InsideEVs; "The number of registrations amounted to 5,153, about 94% more than a year ago, but more importantly, on an overall shrinking market (by 18%), the market share was an incredible 31%! It's now one of the hottest plug-in markets globally, as we rarely see market share above 10%." EV Sales Blog says: " the VW Passat GTE is back at the leadership, with the German midsizer already winning a comfortable distance from last year Best Seller, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, in #3, while the Kia Optima PHEV scored a record performance, with 486 registrations, allowing it to jump into the podium, in 2nd place." http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/02/sweden-january-2020.html MINI COOPER SE IS HERE "MINI has finally tapped into the electric vehicle market with the new Cooper SE. It takes its juice from a 32.6 kWh battery that supports DC fast charging, boasting a 0-80 percent recharging time of only 35 minutes. Charging it up at home takes 4 hours and once it’s filled up, you’ll be able to travel for around 146-167 miles (235-270 km)." says Carscoops: "he MSRP is $29,900, excluding the $850 destination and handling charge. Mind you, with the federal tax credits and EV tax, you could pay as low as $17,900 for one – roughly the price of a mid-spec Ford Fiesta." https://www.carscoops.com/2020/02/2020-cooper-se-electric-hatch-u-s-review-reveals-its-a-proper-mini/ CITROEN TEASES ALL-ELECTRIC CAR, PLANS EV TREK ACROSS SAHARA "Citroen has released a new video on its social media accounts listing all the ways electricity has changed our lives. At the end of the clip the company teases the front end of a model it promises will "democratise electric mobility" and will make its debut on February 27, European time." according to Car Advice: "The tagline at the end of the video places a great amount of emphasis on the letter Ë, suggesting it might used as part of a sub-brand for the brand's upcoming electric vehicles."

Show #691 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 8th February 2020. 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. GM TEASES MODULAR EV PLATFORM "General Motors has unveiled an updated electric vehicle roadmap. Originally shown in 2017, the latest roadmap is largely unchanged except for the addition of an electric pickup truck. That shouldn’t be too surprising as GMC recently announced the HUMMER EV will be introduced on May 20th and go on sale in the fall of 2021." reports CarScoops: "GM confirmed the first vehicle to ride on their all-new electric vehicle platform will be a crossover from Cadillac. As we exclusively reported last month, it will use the same architecture that underpins the Cruise Origin. GM teased their modular electric vehicle platform. The company didn’t say much about it, but noted it allows for larger footprints and a lower height. It will also feature an all-new battery system which has a higher energy density and a “high-power” DC fast charging capability. While a lot remains unknown, we can expect upcoming electric vehicles to have a range of at least 300 miles (483 km). GM CEO Mary Barra has previously described that distance as the “sweet spot” and noted the 2020 Bolt isn’t too far from it as the model can travel 259 miles (417 km) on a single charge." https://www.carscoops.com/2020/02/gm-teases-modular-ev-platform-says-most-future-cadillacs-will-be-electric-and-have-real-names/ TESLA'S WILD WEEK "Tesla’s (TSLA) wild stock ride began Monday with a whopping 20% increase to $780 per share. That was followed by a 17% price spike Tuesday, sending prices near the $1000 dollar mark. Year-to-date that’s a 170% increase in Tesla’s share price, and a quadrupling since its low of $178 in June 2019." says Forbes: "Even after a 17% correction Wednesday the company is still up 71% on the year – sitting at $755 per share as of this writing. Tesla has now overtaken Volkswagen, General Motors, Daimler, and Ford, only trailing Toyota in total market capitalization. About half of the nation’s EVs are located in California, where a state mandate for zero emission vehicles is helping to drive demand. EV adoption is driving investment in battery technology, which leads to increased battery performance and reduced costs. Average market prices for battery packs have plunged from $1,100/kWh in 2010 to $156/kWh in 2019, an 87% fall in real terms according to Bloomberg." https://www.forbes.com/ ZOE WITH 345,000KM ON CLOCK STILL HAS NEAR PERFECT BATTERY "An all-electric Renault Zoe with an impressive 345,000 kilometres on the clock has caught our attention this week – not due to the distance it has been driven, but because of the apparently near perfect state of its battery." according to The Driven.io: "But in an interesting video shared by the “official” Renault Zoe owners club on Twitter on Monday, a Turkish Youtuber Erdem Çizmecioğulları has shown that one Zoe electric hatchback has been 345,000km and its battery is still going strong. Using an OBD2 device which allows access to the battery data via a smartphone app, the 2017 Renault Zoe shows the 96% state of health, and an 82.1% usable state of charge giving 41kWh usable capacity from the vehicle’s original 52kWh." eRally Motorsport: "We've been thrashing the hell out of our eRally Zoe and it's still 100% Soh, according to CLIP after it's BMS update." https://thedriven.io/2020/02/07/zoe-with-345000km-on-clock-still-has-near-perfect-battery-or-does-it/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=6&v=0Dcj5foFdyQ VOLVO XC40 RECHARGE PLUG-IN HYBRID T5 2020 REVIEW "The XC40 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid T5, to give it its full name, completes the Swedish firm’s goal of offering a plug-in version of every model in its line-up. It’s also the first Volvo to use the new Recharge branding" writes James Attwood for Autocar: "While Volvo’s other plug-in models, built on the SPA architecture, feature an electric motor that drives the rear wheels, the XC40 twins the three-cylinder 1.5-litre engine with a front-mounted electric motor, powering the front wheels only. Both motors are driven through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. unlike some plug-ins, the XC40 has the same boot capacity as the regular version. But the moment the XC40 accelerates from standstill on a soothing push of electric power, there’s no doubt that a hybrid powertrain propels the car. The reason the boot is unaffected is because the whole powertrain is located under the bonnet. The three-cylinder engine produces 178bhp, with the electric motor adding 80bhp. The electric unit draws power from a 10.7kWh lithium ion battery, which is located in the central drivetrain tunnel of the car, and allows for a claimed 31 miles of electric-only running." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volvo/xc40/first-drives/volvo-xc40-recharge-plug-hybrid-t5-2020-review EXPERTS UNCOVER DEEP FLAWS IN EFFICIENCY TESTS FOR PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES "Studies have shown hybrid cars, which run on plug-in electric batteries and a combustion engine, could produce three times more carbon dioxide than thought and use up to three times more fuel. Studies by the UK's Emissions Analytics and a 2018 academic study in Norway, among others, have shown that tests performed on the plug-in hybrid vehicles failed to take into account driving habits." repotrs The National.ae: "They found drivers were far more likely to neglect to charge their cars than was accounted for in laboratory testing. This, combined with the fact that the cars have a range of up to only 40 kilometres when properly charged, meant drivers were often failing to use the battery at all. In effect, many vehicles were emitting more gas and using more fuel than they would have with a normal combustion engine, because of the extra weight of a battery. Nick Molden, chief executive and founder of Emissions Analytics, told The National the problem was not of companies misleading the public, but that they were legally required to carry out their tests in laboratory settings." PaulTan.org said: "A study conducted by The Miles Consultancy, a fuel management firm, found that vehicles produced by BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen often returned fuel consumption figures that are up to three times higher than advertised. In fact, 187 regularly-charged BMW PHEVs were audited, and the average fuel economy is only 42 mpg (6.7 litres per 100 km) versus the claimed figure of 137 mpg (2.1 litres per 100 km). Experts such as Paul Hollick, the managing director of The Miles Consultancy, questioned whether some plug-in hybrid cars ever get to see a charging cable. “In a lot of cases, we see PHEVs never being charged, doing longer drives and this is not a good fit for a lot of car users,” he said.e of the UK’s most popular electrified cars is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, but Emissions Analytics boss Nick Molden said “the problem is the official figures are very sensitive to assumptions about how PHEVs are being charged and driven.”" https://www.thenational.ae/world/europe/experts-uncover-deep-flaws-in-efficiency-tests-for-plug-in-hybrid-vehicles-1.975192 https://paultan.org/2020/02/07/phevs-consume-3-times-more-fuel-in-the-real-world/ U.S. HOUSE DEMOCRATS PROPOSE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING NETWORK "Two U.S. lawmakers on Thursday unveiled legislation that would create a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network to promote the shift from gasoline-powered vehicles and reduce greenhouse gas emissions." reports Reuters: "Democratic Representatives Andy Levin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez released legislation dubbed the "EV Freedom Act" to create a network of high-speed charging stations within five years along the public roads of the national highway system in the United States at a U.S. Capitol press conference. The 18-page bill reviewed by Reuters notes a lack of charging stations poses a significant barrier to higher electric vehicle sales. Levin said creating a new fleet of charging stations nationwide will be expensive but will create good paying jobs. A separate bill introduced this week by Representative Yvette Clark and others would focus on increasing access to EV charging stations in low-income and disadvantaged communities. Former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg would require all new cars by 2035 be electric and would build a highway charging network with the goal of a station every 50 miles (80 km)." https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-house-democrats-want-create-141229757.html NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week… On a scale on 1-10, (1 being not at all, 10 being completely) how much does/did environment come into your love of EVs?

CARLOS GHOSN DEFIANTLY ACCUSES NISSAN AND JAPAN "Carlos Ghosn held a press conference in Lebanon early Wednesday to clear his name in the year-long scandal that has stripped him of his leadership roles at Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi, and irrevocably tainted an otherwise well-regarded career as a captain of the automotive industry." writes Autoblog today: "Ghosn told reporters in Beirut he had been treated "brutally" by Tokyo prosecutors, whom he accused of helping Nissan to oust him as chairman. He said the case was trumped up to silence his advocacy of a full merger between Nissan and Renault. Nissan said an internal investigation found that Ghosn had engaged in personal use of company money and had under-reported his income in violation of Japanese law." https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/08/ghosn-press-conference/ PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CAR SALES IN THE NETHERLANDS HIT NEW ALL-TIME RECORDS "The end of the year was extremely hot in terms of plug-in electric car sales in the Netherlands, which not only beat, but rather trampled previous records. Let's start with December 2019. 22,983 new passenger plug-in electric cars were registered in the country - three times more than a year ago, and thousands more than the old 15,879 record from December 2016 from an era of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV." reports InsideEVs: "In effect, the overall market share of plug-ins surged to an outstanding 54%! That's more than half of all car sales, which was seen previously only in Norway. Great sales results in the Netherlands are not only thanks to Tesla, as other BEVs are also performing nicely, which allowed for an all-BEV top six for the month. Our attention was caught especially by the Audi e-tron, which surprised with 3,054 registrations in December and 4,116 YTD. That's an awesome number, much higher than the Tesla Model X (192 and 463 YTD) or Jaguar I-PACE (428 and 769 YTD). Reportedly, most of the e-trons were the entryl-level e-tron 50 quattro version." Top five for the month: Tesla Model 3: 12,053 (29,922 YTD) Audi e-tron: 3,054 (4,116 YTD) Nissan LEAF: 1,075 (3,800 YTD) Renault ZOE: 1,020 (2,208 YTD) MG ZS EV: 967 (1,019 YTD) https://insideevs.com/news/391681/plugin-car-sales-netherlands-all-time-records/ CHEVY CORVETTE C8 PLUG-IN HYBRID CAUGHT TESTING IN THE SNOW# " Speculation on an electrified Corvette in the past has also included talk of all-wheel drive with an electric motor powering the front wheels and a traditional engine sending ponies to the rear." says Autoblog: " GM President Mark Reuss suggested this latest Corvette worked into GM's "strategy of 0-0-0: zero emissions, zero crashes, zero congestion." Reading between those lines, we wouldn't be surprised if a plug-in 'Vette would be able to travel solely on electric power for short jaunts. But we'd also expect any electrification to contribute to the car's overall acceleration, considering the Corvette's role as GM's high-performance flagship." https://www.autoblog.com/2020/01/08/chevy-corvette-c8-plug-in-hybrid-spy-shots FIRST RIDE IN FARADAY FF 91 "Electrek took our first ride in the Faraday Future FF 91 in Las Vegas yesterday. A Faraday test driver floored the 1,050-horsepower, limo-like sedan — and we held on for dear life while reclining in luxury. It was a rocket blast." reports Bradley for electrek: "While previous incarnations of the FF 91 aligned closer to the Tesla Model X, the vehicle in Las Vegas was more like a Bentley or Rolls-Royce, with a long, lean, spacious cabin complete with a zero-gravity reclining seat. On the technology side, models could be configured with one, two, or three motors for horsepower from 350 to 1,050 ponies. Battery packs could range in size from about 60 to 120 kilowatt-hours. Charging could be offered at higher than 200 kilowatts, via “flooded cell” technology." https://ww.electrek.co/2020/01/07/first-ride-faraday-ff-91-pivots-from-model-x-competitor-to-electric-limo/ VW ID.3 NEXT TO TESLA MODEL 3 From the r/TeslaMotors subreddit, user ChandlerWins said: "Encountered a prototype VW ID3 during a charging session in Germany. They are almost identical in size but the VW seemed to be charging at around 100 kW. I also saw a very early prototype of a electrical VW SUV charging (I think the expected ID 4) but that one had some serious camouflage stickers on it. Couldn't take more pictures because the owners where around and I'm not going to invade their privacy lol. And to top it of a Porsche Taycan pulled up complete with the fake engine sounds, sounded ridiculous." TWO TESLA MODELS LISTED IN EURO NCAP’S BEST OF THE BEST OF 2019 Today Euro NCAP publishes its Best in Class for 2019. Fifty-five cars were assessed among which forty-one achieved the top accolade. This makes 2019 one of the most impressive years on record since Euro NCAP started to evaluate consumer safety of cars on the European market. Tesla also made a strong appearance this year. Model X is 2019’s winner in the Large Off-Road category. The Tesla Model 3 is top of the ‘Electric and Hybrid’ vehicle class and, together with BMW’s 3 Series, shares top-spot in the Large Family category. FREE NOW ADDS 60 MODEL 3 TO THEIR FLEET "The ride-hailing operator Free Now (formerly MyTaxi) of BMW and Daimler wants to boost its expansion into other cities in Germany. In addition, the Ride-Hailing fleet in Hamburg is to be expanded by an initial 60 Tesla vehicles." says electrive: "The service provider is one of several mobility services that BMW and Daimler merged at the beginning of last year. In the course of the merger, MyTaxi was also renamed Free Now.. The 60 models for Hamburg are copies of the Tesla Model 3, which Free Now informed us of upon request. They will be used from the end of March." https://www.electrive.com/2020/01/08/free-now-adds-60-model-3-to-their-fleet/ LAS VEGAS TAXI COMPANY ORDERS HUNDREDS OF TESLAS "Kaptyn, a Transportations as a Service (TaaS) technology company in Las Vegas, today launched 30 Teslas in its on-demand transportation (i.e., taxi) service in Vegas. The main hub for the Kaptyn service will be McCarran International Airport" says Zachary at CleanTechnica: "This taxi company has 872 taxis, and 1,400 vehicles in total. The 30 Tesla Model 3s it launched today aren’t the end of the road — they’re basically just a soft launch. The number of electric vehicles in the fleet will be in the hundreds by sometime in February. The fleet will include Model 3, Model X, and Model S vehicles — it’s not clear yet what the exact split will be. " https://cleantechnica.com/2020/01/06/las-vegas-taxi-company-orders-hundreds-of-teslas/ TESLA (TSLA) STOCK RALLY GROWS ELON MUSK’S FORTUNE BY $9 BILLION Tesla’s (TSLA) stock rally is still going strong and helped CEO Elon musk grow his fortune by $9 billion over the last few months, but if it keeps going, it could see Musk getting a $800 million payday under his latest compensation plan." reports electrek: "The electric automaker more than doubled its market capitalization now to more than $85 billion. Tesla shareholders have been enjoying the ride, and Musk has benefited more than once as the biggest Tesla shareholder, with just over 20% of all outstanding shares. He saw his fortune from Tesla grow by $9 billion over the period, but it could get even better for the CEO who doesn’t accept a salary from Tesla. Each $50 billion increase in Tesla’s market capitalization would result in Musk receiving 1.69 million shares, which is currently worth about $800 million at today’s price. If Tesla reaches all the milestones and a market cap of $650 billion, he would own about 30% of the company at that point, which would be a stake worth about $195 billion — making him the richest man on the planet." https://electrek.co/2020/01/07/tesla-tsla-rally-elon-musk-fortune-billion/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week… What are your 2020 Predictions?

Show #566 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 30th August 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. Thank you to new PRODUCER RAJ BADWAL BMW LAUNCHES THE NEW X5 XDRIVE45E With the market launch of the new BMW X5 xDrive45e, the drive portfolio of the Sporty Activity Vehicle (SAV) is now being expanded to include a plug-hybrid system. The second generation of the BMW X5 with electrified drive combines a model-specific in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology with the very latest BMW eDrive technology. With an electrically powered range of 67 to 87 kilometres in the new WLTP test cycle. The combustion engine and electric motor deliver their power to an 8-speed Steptronic transmission of the latest generation and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive. In this way, the drive torque is transferred to all four wheels when driving on electric power alone as well as when using the combustion engine or indeed both drive units. Money-saving: Electric driving in urban areas is cheaper than using petrol or diesel if the plug-in hybrid vehicle is charged at home or at the workplace at low cost. Braking is winning: The battery is charged under braking. In conventional vehicles, braking generates only heat and brake dust. The best of both worlds: Plug-in hybrids provide electric driving pleasure in urban areas and classical BMW driving pleasure over longer distances. Better quality of life in cities: By driving on electric power, users can actively contribute to reducing emissions and traffic noise in cities. PEUGEOT 3008 HYBRID4 DETAILS ANNOUNCED "Peugeot has revealed details of its forthcoming plug-in hybrid - the 3008 GT Hybrid4 - which will feature a range of up to 36 miles on a single charge." reports Chris for Next Green Car:"The new SUV features a 13.2 kWh battery, powering two electric motors, which combine with a 200hp 1.6-litre petrol engine to produce 300hp (220kW). As such, the 0-60mph time is just 5.9 seconds, thanks in part to the all-wheel drive system and eight-speed EAT8 automatic transmission." https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8738/peugeot-3008-hybrid4-details-announced/ TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID CAUGHT TESTING AND TOWING BY SPY PHOTOGRAPHERS "T add Toyota may be planning to soon add a plug-in hybrid version of the new RAV4. Spy photographers for our sister site, MotorAuthority, recently caught a plug-in hybrid version of the RAV4 out testing on public roads overseas. The company has long been a laggard in the movement to sell plug-in vehicles. The only plug-in model it currently sells in the U.S. is the Prius Prime with 25 miles of electric range." according to Green Car Reports: "If the plug-in hybrid uses the same 8.8-kilowatt-hour battery as the Prius Prime, it would likely get far short of the Prius Prime's 25-mile electric range. Although there might be more packaging potential for fitting a larger battery under the floor of the tall crossover. The closest competitors to the RAV4 today are the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which has a 22-mile electric range, and the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid, which is rated at 26 miles." https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1124719_toyota-rav4-plug-in-hybrid-caught-testing-and-towing-by-spy-photographers TESLA ROLLS OUT KEY FOB SECURITY UPDATE FOR MODEL S TO ADDRESS RISKS OF CLONING "Last year, a Tesla Model S key fob was hacked by a team led by Lennert Wouters of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (KU Leuven). In the most recent example of their dedication to security, a Bug Bounty find from April this year is now being patched via an over-the-air (OTA) update in 2019.32. The security flaw enabled would-be car thieves to clone a fob in less than two seconds, after which the vehicle could be driven off. Tesla subsequently offered a multi-part fix: PIN to Drive, a software update, and a new fob." Says Teslarati. “We’ve begun to release an over-the-air software update (part of 2019.32) that addresses this researcher’s findings and allows certain Model S owners to update their key fobs inside their car in less than two minutes. We believe that neither of these options would be possible for any other automaker to release to existing owners, given our unique ability to roll out over-the-air updates that improve the functionality and security of our cars and key fobs,” Tesla said in a statement to Wired. https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-key-fob-cloning-security-update-ota-software/ TESLA SECURES EXEMPTION FROM 10% CHINESE AUTO TAX AFTER MUSK'S VISIT "Tesla CEO Elon Musk just returned from a multi-day trip to China. According to Bloomberg, the CEO struck a deal that will make Tesla exempt from China's 10-percent automotive sales tax." according to sources at InsideEVs: "Traditionally, China's domestic automakers are able to get such a tax exemption, but foreign automakers haven't been so lucky. Essentially, moving forward, all Tesla vehicles sold in China will qualify for the exemption. It's important to note that the country's ministry has verified this information on its website, though Tesla has yet to comment on the situation. " https://insideevs.com/news/368080/tesla-exempt-china-10-percent-car-tax/ TESLA TO UNLOCK EXTRA RANGE AND FREE SUPERCHARGING FOR CARS IN HURRICANE DORIAN’S PATH "As gas stations in Florida ran out of fuel due to long lines of car owners rushing in to fill up their vehicles before Hurricane Dorian makes landfall, Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla will offer free Supercharging services and unlock more range for vehicles that are on Dorian’s path. By doing so, Tesla will be able to provide some help to owners who are traveling to escape the upcoming storm." writes Simon at Teslarati: "Amidst Florida’s preparations, a number of gas stations across the state have started experiencing shortages as residents flocked to fill up their vehicles. Images and videos from social media show long lines of vehicles lining up to get gas, as well as stations running out of petrol to sell. Gas shortages have hit West Palm Beach the hardest, with 50% of the stations in the area running out of fuel as of 9 a.m. Friday." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-unlocks-free-supercharging-extra-range-hurricane-dorian/ PURCHASE OF 125 NEW ELECTRIC TAXIS WORTH OVER £7MILLION Sherbet London today announced the purchase of 125 new electric taxis from the London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC). The first 50 cabs, all manufactured in the UK were delivered earlier in August, with the remaining 75 entering service in the next few months. This takes the size of Sherbet’s fleet up to 225 taxis, and is another step towards the aim of expanding its fleet to over 1,000 vehicles over the next three years.

We switched on the CCS outlets of our 175 kW chargers again. Tests by HUBER+SUHNER confirm that the liquid cooled cables meet all safety standards. We will remove the tape and stickers from the cables today. If you are at a station that still has tape around the CCS outlet, feel free to give us a call if you want to help us out removing it." Electrify America: no statement I’ve seen but I was sent a Twitter note to say they’re online too TESLA EXPECTS SMALL PROFIT CNBC reports on the Tesla Q4 2018 earnings ahead of the call: "Musk said preliminary results show the company made a profit on an unadjusted basis during the fourth quarter of 2018, but it was less than the previous three months. In the first quarter, higher-priced Model 3s to Europe and Asia "will hopefully allow us, with great difficulty, effort and some luck, to target a tiny profit," Musk said in a Jan. 18 company update." https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/29/tesla-reports-earnings-as-shares-fall-amid-a-few-red-flags.html ASPARK OWL ELECTRIC HYPERCAR TARGETS NÜRBURGRING LAP RECORD "You might remember the Aspark Owl electric hypercar from its debut at the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show. Development is still underway on the Japanese-built machine, and the company now says that a run at the Nürburgring record could be under consideration." says Chris Bruce, Editor for Motor1.com: "[The] Aspark Owl performances are allowing us to aim [for] the Nürburgring record," a company spokesperson told Top Gear. Aspark's testing already shows that the Owl is capable of reaching 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 1.9 seconds. The company's official specs show the hypercar being able to reach 174 mph (280 kph). At a price of 3.1 million euros ($3.5 million) and production of just 50 units, the Owl will be a very rare machine, and the company will deliver the first one in 2020." https://www.motor1.com/news/302941/aspark-owl-nurburgring-record-attempt/ NEVS AND KOENIGSEGG FORM A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP Swedish car makers NEVS AB and Koenigsegg AB are together forming a strategic partnership, enabling the development of parallel vehicle models in slightly higher volumes with emphasis on electrification, as well as strengthening growth opportunities in the hyper car segment. A reminder NEVS came from ashes of Saab, and Koenigsegg was founded in 1994 by Christian von Koenigsegg, with the mission to create the perfect sports car NEVS is making a capital injection of EUR 150 million, thereby taking a 20 percent minority stake in Koenigsegg’s parent company. Additionally, the parties are forming a joint venture to expand into new market segments where NEVS AB is contributing USD 150 million in starting capital for a 65 percent stake and Koenigsegg obtains 35 percent by contributing primarily with intellectual property, technology licenses, and product design. Alongside NEVS capacity for production in Trollhättan and China, NEVS through its majority owner Evergrande, has a wide distribution platform and channels through ownership in one of China’s largest car retailers. Last week, Evergrande announced the acquisition of 58.07 percent in automobile battery maker Shanghai CENAT New Energy Co Ltd, a $156 million deal. MITSUBISHI TO DEBUT ENGELBERG TOURER ELECTRIC SUV CONCEPT IN GENEVA "Mitsubishi will reveal at the 89th Geneva International Motor Show on March 5th its all-new Engelberg Tourer Concept." reports Mark Kane at InsideEVs.com: "The short note about the car says that Engelberg Tourer Concept will bring: more SUV, more EV, more technology and more style (named after a beautiful; rugged Alpine town with a history of sporting success). It’s highly probable that the Engelberg Tourer Concept is actually a new plug-in hybrid, which is bigger and has more all-electric range than the current aging Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV." Top Gear said: "Lagonda Vision Geneva 2018: Aston Valkryrie AMR Pro and the Lagonda Vision Given the success of the Outlander PHEV, it’s no surprise that Mitsubishi are trying to cash-in on the electric SUV trend, although it’s currently unclear as to whether this will also be a plug-in hybrid or if it’ll go fully electric. We’ll have to wait until 5 March to find that out, when more technical details will be announced and we’ll meet Engelberg in the flesh." https://insideevs.com/mitsubishi-engelberg-tourer-ev-geneva/ https://www.topgear.com/car-news/geneva-motor-show/mitsubishi-calling-its-geneva-concept-engelberg UK ISP IS TURNING BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE INTO EV CHARGING STATIONS "Liberty Global is testing a secondary use for its broadband cabinets, the streetside boxes that link internet connections from exchanges to homes and businesses. It's harnessing the infrastructure of its Virgin Media subsidiary to build electric vehicle charging stations in the UK." according to Engadget: "Liberty hopes to have up to six trial charging points set up by mid-April. It's also planning tests in Belgium through its Telenet network. Last year, Deutsche Telekom revealed plans to turn 12,000 cabinets into charging points." https://www.engadget.com/2019/01/28/virgin-media-ev-charging-trial-liberty-global AUDI E-TRON IS QUIETEST EV IN BJØRN NYLAND’S TESTS InsideEVs has been keeping an eye on Bjorn Nylands e-tron review videos: "Audi e-tron turns out to be the quietest electric car ever tested by Bjørn Nyland, averaging just 63 dB. The silence, even at high speeds, was earlier signaled by the Autogefühl review, which clearly said that it’s better than in the case of Tesla. Bjorn revealed that e-tron is around 2-3 dB below the second best Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-PACE, despite not necessarily having the quietest winter tires on it, at all speed levels" https://insideevs.com/audi-e-tron-is-the-quietest-ev-in-bjorn-nylands-tests/ IN SHANGHAI, EVERY IKEA DELIVERY IS NOW MADE WITH AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE "In 2018, Ingka Group–the parent company of Ikea–made a bold pledge: By 2025, the company will deliver every item worldwide by electric vehicle. It started with a closer-range target of accomplishing the full switch to EVs in five cities–New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Amsterdam, and Shanghai–by 2020." writes Fast Compnay: "As of January 23, it’s already reached that goal in Shanghai. The company announced that in the inner city of Shanghai, all home deliveries are now carried out by electric vehicle." https://www.fastcompany.com/90297201/in-shanghai-every-ikea-delivery-is-now-made-with-an-electric-vehicle LOTUS AND WILLIAMS TEAM UP FOR RUMORED ELECTRIC HYPERCAR "Sports car maker Lotus and Williams Advanced Engineering have officially announced a new strategic partnership which will allow the two companies to share “research and development into advanced propulsion technologies.” " says Anthony Karr at Motor1.com: "Autocar claims the Norfolk-based brand is actually developing a hybrid hypercar codenamed Omega. Lotus is believed to be leading the development to ensure the car carries the brand’s DNA and meets its criteria for lightness. Williams will contribute its technical expertise in electric systems to the project and will probably supply the batteries. It is believed the Omega hypercar will use “at least two electric motors” in an all-wheel-drive powertrain configuration. Advanced battery technology should provide a range of more than 250 miles (402 kilometers) between two charges with a fast charging option available." https://www.motor1.com/news/302878/lotus-williams-partnership-hypercar-rumors/ MORE TESLOOP HIGH MILEAGAE "Tesloop’s Model X, named Deuxy, just hit the 350,000 mile threshold, and founder Haydn Sonnad took to YouTube to share some lessons learned on the road to that impressive milestone. Battery degradation had been of particular importance in Tesloop’s vehicles because they not only put a lot of miles on their vehicles, but did so by loading their vehicles up every day and running routes back to back, with Supercharging sessions in between to fill the batteries back up." reports Kyle for CleanTechnica: "After putting over 350,000 miles on Deuxy, Tesloop recorded a 13% degradation in the capacity of the battery — compared to the range per charge it had when new. That translates to a range of 215 miles / 346 kilometers at a 95% charge today compared to 247 miles / 398 kilometers at 95% when it was new." https://cleantechnica.com/2019/01/28/350000-miles-in-a-tesla-model-x-just-18000-in-maintenance/ TOYOTA ADMITS TO LOSING PREVIOUSLY LOYAL CUSTOMERS TO TESLA And finally from Steven at InsideEVs: "According to Automotive News, Toyota’s defection rate is around nine percent. Interestingly, CEO of Toyota Motor North America Jim Lentz admitted that half of those previously loyal customers are moving to Tesla. Nonetheless, according to a report by Tesla, the Toyota Prius tops the list of non-Tesla cars that are traded in by Model 3 buyers. It will be interesting to see what the future brings for Toyota." https://insideevs.com/toyota-admits-losing-sales-to-tesla/ COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

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 Friday 27th 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. FRIDAY FACTS "Chinas Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry to the tune of About 279,000 barrels of fuel a day and adds 9500 zero emision #EV buses every 5 weeks." From Greg Wester @gwestr "Tesla lets software engineers on the factory floor to join the line and turn wrenches so they can automate the work and retool the line for speed" UPDATE ON KONA BATTERY CHARGING "Thanks for mentioning my recent Kona article on cleantechnica. The charging power info that you were not confident about is actually referenced (link through) in the article at the point where I make the 80 kW statement". ...and my reply: "Hi Max,I think the confusion here is on the Hyundai press materials it says “when connected to a 100kW charger”. I wonder if everyone has seen that, assumed that’s the charge rate, and ran with it? If you search for “Hyundai Kona EV 100kW” which is what I did before that show, you get countless articles all saying it has 100kW charge speed. And if you want the 2hour video review from Bjorn Nyland, who had one from Hyundai for a test, he says he’s been told it will charge up to 100kW. So I think I’ve just heard that number a lot from people who also know a lot about it. But saying all that, I agree that you (and John) are working from the most reliable ‘first hand’ information. i.e. the engineers. I was wrong to trust those other sources. I’ve attached the datasheet from Hyundai North America which confirms the pack is 356v nominal. If it’s using the same LG Chem pack as the Bolt, the consensus seems to be a configuration of 3.7V * 60Ah * 288 cells = 64kWh and 3.7V * 96 cell triplets = 355.2V. If the engineers were being specific with max current of 200amps, at that voltage, that’s 71.6kW which is in the ball park of the IONIQ. Also I have a feeling the maximum current you can put through the CCS connector is 200A. JAGUAR DELAYS SOME I-PACE ALL-ELECTRIC SUV DELIVERIES Electrek says they have heard from some disappointed owners that some are seeing their deliveries being pushed back by several months. Fred Lambert says: "Dealers say it is due to “manufacturing issues” while Jaguar says it is “prioritizing” orders." "We contacted Jaguar over the issue and the automaker says that it still plans for customer production to start “late this summer”, but it confirmed that some customers are experiencing delays due to “prioritization”: “In some instances individual customers may have been informed of a delay regarding their order. This will be due to prioritisation of market specific orders to best meet the exceptional demand.”" "A source familiar with the matter told Electrek that Jaguar’s supply of Matrix LED headlights are actually limited and the company might be pushing orders of non-First Edition vehicles in order to focus on the First Edition vehicles which need to be 2019 model year." https://electrek.co/2018/07/26/jaguar-i-pace-delay/ EV CONNECT CLOSES $8-MILLION FINANCING ROUND "EV Connect, a provider of charging solutions including a cloud-based network management platform, has closed an $8-million financing round, led by Ecosystem Integrity Fund" reports Charged EVs: "The company will use the new funds to accelerate the deployment of its EV Cloud management platform in the US, advance its integration with utility grid systems and expand into new global markets." https://chargedevs.com/newswire/ev-connect-closes-8-million-financing-round/ MITSUBISHI OUTLANDERS ARRIVE IN THE UK In preparation for the launch of the new 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which goes on sale in the UK on August 1, the first shipment of vehicles has arrived in the UK at Bristol’s Royal Portbury Docks, with more shipments set to dock in the following weeks" according to Electric Cars Report: "The new 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has been engineered to meet the latest emissions regulations and comfortably qualifies for the government plug-in car grant thanks to its WLTP emissions of 46g/km and EV range of 28 miles, while also attracting the lowest possible BIK rate of 13 percent." The first batch of 200 will soon be followed by another 2000. https://electriccarsreport.com/2018/07/first-shipment-of-2019-mitsubishi-outlander-phev-arrives-in-the-uk/ DAIMLER TO BUILD BATTERY FACTORIES IN SINDELFINGEN, UNTERTUERKHEIM "Daimler AG on Wednesday said it will add battery manufacturing capabilities to its Mercedes-Benz plants in Sindelfingen and Untertuerkheim, as the carmaker seeks to transition from combustion to electric cars." reports an Autoblog article: "The battery deal is part of a 1.5 billion euro ($1.75 billion) transformation plan to retool Mercedes-Benz plants to build zero-emission and autonomous vehicles, the carmaker said." https://www.autoblog.com/2018/07/25/daimler-battery-factory-sindelfingen-untertuerkheim-germany/?guccounter=1 BARBADOS EMBRACES EVS Crippled with public debt and dogged by rising oil prices, the island's new government wants to make its bus network electric, and eventually switch all government transport too." reports Reuters: "Increased state investment in electric buses would help upgrade transport systems, while cutting climate-changing emissions and paving the way for consumers to follow. Plug-in vehicles could also "piggy-back" on a push to inject more power into the grid from renewables like solar, wind and hydro. Costs are high, however, and on some islands, import duties for electric vehicles are higher than on combustion-engine cars." COMMUNITY Battery On Board Stickers!

Wednesday 25th April 2018. TESLA RACING SERIES ELECTRIC GT ANNOUCNE CALENDAR There are two exciting new EV racing series on the horizon, such as the Jaguar I-PACE series which will support Formula E. And also Electric GT which will be racing Tesla Model S P100DL’s. And Electric GT have just announced the calendar for their inaugural series after being officially approved by the motorsport governing body the FIA. There will be 10 races, starting in Spain on November 3rd, which follows a short test in October. Each event will be a mini festival of electric engineering, and the racing will involve a practice, a qualifying, a race and a dusk race. And that’s one of the great things about electric racing, you can do it at times when you wouldn’t normally be allowed with other series due to the noise pollution. They will race in France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Silverstone UK and Portugal. It’s great they’ll be at circuits like Jerez, and Paul Ricard, the Nurburgring and Silverstone, and Formula 1 circuits with a rich heritage which will help give the series some gravitas with petrol heads, something I think Formula E will fix soon, because the city races are both great and also lack some heritage. LAMBORGHINI AND PORSCHE JOIN THE EV PARTY Talking F1, former Scuderia Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicalli who now heads up Lamborghini says their next hypercar will be electrified. We are talking the Aventador and the Huracan. Full EVs are also on cards but not quite yet: “I don’t think that the technology for a full electric Lamborghini will be ready until 2026,” he said. “Hybrids are a step towards that.” Lamborghini’s technical director, Maurizio Reggiani, told Top Gear, “The big questions are packaging and weight. Yes, this will be a silent Lamborghini, but push the accelerator and the engine will come. Silence will only last for some seconds, then comes the sound.” Next up another sports car, and the legendary Porsche 911, where electric power will be used for the very first time. Again it will be a hybrid perhaps with a new engine which might upset the Porsche purists. August Achleitner, director of the 911's development team, said: “Some fans rushed the barricades; it was all gloom and doom for many. And then the same thing happened as always: nothing. The new models have always received even more rave reviews than their predecessors. That encourages us to think about fundamental innovations in the future as well." 1,000 CLEAN AND CHEAP ELECTRIC BUSES FOR PARIS Cities like Schenzen already have all their public buses running on batteries, that’s over 16,000 buses like the BYD ones you might have seen. Their next plan is for all 17,000 cabs to be electric too, so Western cities need to catch up quickly. A sidebar here, whilst China is producing hundreds of thousands of electric cars and buses, our own media only want to report on Elon’s latest tweet. One day everyone will turn round and China will be making your next car, like they make everything else! Back to buses, and Paris will see 1,000 new full BEV buses, which is part of a larger plan to electrify all buses, by 2025. RATP has 4,500 buses to replace. Catherine Guillouard, president and CEO of RATP said: “The massive order to equip our fleet with electric buses demonstrates our ambition to become a vital player in the energy transition of the public transport sector. Our aim to ensure a 100% clean fleet by 2025 in the Paris region is what can only be described as a technological challenge that requires us to adapt our 25 bus depots within a very tight time frame. The entire company has been mobilized to succeed with this challenge”. Which is true, it’s a big job. One that some Chinese cities have already done – the buses, the depots, the grid upgrades, the on-street chargers to top up mid route? Yep, all done. Tomorrow on the show, I’ll take a deeper dive into the general state of electrified mass transport. MITSUBISHI PHEV OWNERS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH Calling all Mitsubishi Outlander owners in the UK: “We are currently looking for owners/drivers of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (purchased from new) for a paid market research event being held at a market research studio in Central London between the dates of Tuesday 08th and Thursday 10th May 2018. The project is being conducted on behalf of a major car manufacturer and we are simply interested in gaining feedback from owners regarding their experiences with electric vehicles and their ideas on the UK electric vehicle market. For anyone who takes part in a 1.5 hour discussion there is a cash incentive of £80.” I’ll put a link in the podcast notes if you’re interested. http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41988 PLUG IN YOUR FORD F-150 The legendary Ford F-150 truck isn’t something you can imagine is an ideal candidate for being an EV, but they’re seen a way to reduce carbon emissions for customers. The trucks are built by Ford and electrified by XL, in addition to plug-in charging capabilities, the trucks' technology also uses regenerative braking during deceleration to charge the battery pack, and uses electric assist during acceleration to increase fuel economy. Eric Foellmer, XL's Director of Marketing said: “Because the XL plug-in hybrid electric system works seamlessly with the Ford drivetrain, it works and drives just like a factory F-150 would – but with a 50% MPG improvement and substantial reductions in CO2emissions". 60 NEW CHARGE POINTS FOR LIVERPOOL UK Liverpool in the UK is probably best known around the world for the Beatles, or these days, having a huge international following for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool Football Club. Or Soccer, if you like. But now it’s becoming famous for EVs as 60 more charging points are added as sites like hospitals, train stations, car parks, sports venues and even Jaguar Land Rover. John Robinson, managing director at Symphony EV-ZE said: “We are also currently working with Arriva to install infrastructure for the super-fast rapid charging points for their electric bus project for the Liverpool City Region.” MERCEDES-MAYBACH EV REVEALED AT AUTO CHINA 2018 We’ve heard some whispers, and seen some teasers, now Mercedes-Maybach have shown off their luxury electric crossover – The Vision – at Auto China 2018. It’s an EV with four motors and all-wheel drive, and of course it’s a Maybach, so it’s the height of luxury. It’s a concept vehicle at this stage, which always means it’s technically capable of running on magical fairy dust, however Maybach assure us the specs are real. Those specs being 550kW or 750hp of power, with an 80kWh battery. They’ll build it with DC fast charging at 350kW for the elusive 80% charge in less than 20mins, or for slower speeds, induction charging also included. Because sometimes you’re just too posh to touch a cable! RANGE ANXIETY HAD BEEN SOLVED In a recent media session, Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Chairman Carlos Ghosn said: "We have seen that consumers do not talk anymore about range or autonomy as long as you guarantee more than 300km. You could not have guessed this [result] through studies. When you look what are the electric Chinese cars that are selling, they are very, very affordable cars. The price point of the Leaf today is not adequate for the Chinese market.” His Renault Zoe ZE40 is marketed at 300km and the upcoming 60kWh LEAF with LGChem cells, and some thermal management to keep them at happy temperatures, will probably get over 350km on the new WLTP test cycle. That’s around 225 miles. I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

It’s time to wrap up the 2018 Geneva Auto Show, more specifically, some production ready-ish “concepts.” There are also some interesting third wheel options out there, we’ll talk about a few from Mitsubishi, Buick, and Toyota. Lastly, I’ve been thinking a lot about the “Best Selling PHEV in the world,” the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/salvagetitle/message
Sunday 4th March 2018. FEBRUARY EV SALES For February sales there are a couple of models people will look at first. The Model 3 should be on a steep production curve heading upwards, and the new Nissan LEAF should start to see sales picking up as deliveries happen. According to InsideEVs the Kia Niro PHEV and Hyundai IONIQ report their first full month of sales, as we’re still waiting on those. Starting with the newest entrant and the LEAF sold 895 cars in February, and that’s with a constrained supply with most of those already spoken for. More cars should be arriving at dealers soon, although it’s currently 6th in the charts for February. March should see a sharp increase, but it has been noted that even those who wanted to get one early doors couldn’t get anything earlier than late Feb, early March delivery. The Chevvy Bolt is up almost 50% from this time last year, last month at 1,477, although it wasn’t on sale nationwide until half way through the year. The popular Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which does very well in the UK, struggles to get over 300. The Toyota Prius Prime, or the Prius Plug-In as it’s called here in the UK, sold over 2,000 in North America, also up 50% on this time in 2017. As always with Tesla they don’t provide monthly numbers so it’s a best guess. So the Top 10 in order: Tesla Model 3, Toyota Prius Prime, Chevrolet Bolt, Tesla Model S, Chevrolet Volt, Nissan LEAF, Honda Clarity PHEV, Tesla Model X, Ford Fusion Energi and BMW i3 including the REX. Of those the Honda and Ford aren’t available here in Europe. But yesterday we told you about how well the e-GOLF is selling and yet it can’t get over 200 a month in the USA. DYSON DOUBLES UP Readers of Autocar may have picked up on the latest news from Dyson, makers of fine vacuum cleaners and hand dryers, who are making the pivot into electric cars. It seems the reveal of their first EV is still set for 2019, and now they’re increasing their workforce with 300 new hires in their EV department. So far Dyson has announced £2billion ($2.7billion) investment in their electric car project. They are due to move into a 750 acre facility with their 700 employees working on their huge EV investments, which include big bets on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Solid State batteries, following their Sakti3 investment in 2015. James Dyson is not a fan of diesel and how governments have incentivised buying them. He says: “Governments around the world have encouraged the adoption of oxymoronically designated ‘clean diesel’ engines through subsidies and grants. Major auto manufacturers have circumvented and duped clean air regulations. As a result, developed and developing cities are full of smog-belching cars, lorries and buses. It is a problem that others are ignoring,” https://paultan.org/2018/03/02/dyson-ev-crew-to-gain-300-develop-ai-tech-report/ DAYS AWAY FROM GENEVA VW is set to show off it’s 4th EV at the 88th Geneva Motor show. They will be taking the new Vizzion EV to Switzerland as an addition to the I.D., I.D. Crozz and I.D. Buzz. This is the model which will be up against the premium luxury cars like the Model S, but not until 2022. Looking forward 4 years, Volkswagen are confident of having Level 5 autonomous driving in place. Also at Geneva will be one of the recent hits, that’s the Hyundai Kona. We only heard the specs a few days ago but forums and EV blogs seemed delighted with the first of a new breed of electric cars and PHEV hybrids coming from Hyundai / Kia. The WLTP range of almost 300 miles should be good for 250 miles in real world driving which is enough for week long commuting, taking the kids to football practice and a day trip on Sunday. You might only plug it in once a week. https://www.drive.com.au/motor-news/sunday-7--most-anticipated-cars-of-the-geneva-motor-show-117443.html?trackLink=homePageNews1 SEAT GO RACING WITH CUPRA Well talking of Geneva SEAT will launch the Cupra e-racer as what they call the worlds first 100 percent electric racing touring car. Based on the SEAT Leon platform it will then be supersized with new bumpers, bonnet, grill and a suitably extravagant rear wing, adding plenty of carbon fibre along the way. https://www.carscoops.com/2018/03/cupra-e-racer-worlds-first-ev-touring-car/ Thank you for listening today, I hope you've enjoyed it.
