Show #486   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 29th May 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.   FREMONT FACTORY BEING PREPPED FOR TESLA MODEL Y PRODUCTION, MODEL S REFRESH "Tesla is expected to produce the new Model Y at the Fremont factory according to a CNBC report" says CNBC: "Tesla officially hasn't announced where it will produce the Model Y. The automaker says it's considering both the Tesla Factory in California and Gigafactory in Nevada. Because Model Y shares a lot of parts with the Model 3, Fremont could be a wise choice, although the factory is getting cramped. Unofficial sources say that Tesla "has barely begun to place orders for new equipment to manufacture the Model Y. In 2019, Tesla would like to deliver at least 360,000 cars, compared to around 245,000 in 2018."   https://insideevs.com/news/352061/fremont-tesla-model-y-production-model-s-refresh/   TESLA HAS CATCHING UP TO DO "Tesla Inc has “a lot of catching up” to do in order to achieve a record quarter, news website Electrek reported on Wednesday, citing Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s leaked email to employees." says REuters: "“While our demand is strong, we have a lot of vehicle deliveries to catch up to in order to have a successful quarter,” Musk wrote in the mail. “We also need to address the total cost of getting a car from our factory to the customer. Last quarter, there were many expedites fees and routing inefficiencies that led to higher than expected delivery costs. This makes it much harder for to* break even. “Per my earlier email, if we execute well, Q2 will be an all-time record for Tesla vehicle deliveries and an awesome victory!!”   https://electrek.co/2019/05/29/tesla-demand-deliveries-catch-up-record-quarter-elon-musk-leaked-email/   EV CHARGING SITES OUTNUMBER PETROL STATIONS FOR FIRST TIME "New figures from Zap-Map reveal the extent of the UK’s electric vehicle revolution, with the number of public charging locations now surpassing petrol stations for the first time. Data from Zap-Map shows that as of 22 May, there are 8,471 charging locations across the UK, hosting a total of 13,613 charging devices. In contrast, as of the end of April, there are currently only 8,400 petrol stations in the UK, a figure which is continuing to decline. There has been huge growth in the UK public EV charge point market in the past 12 months, with the number of locations increasing 57% in that time.   https://www.zap-map.com/ev-charging-sites-outnumber-petrol-stations-for-first-time/   CHINA-MADE TESLA MODEL 3 PRICE ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED ON FRIDAY "Bloomberg reports that Tesla is expected to announce prices of the China-made base Tesla Model 3 on Friday, May 31." reports InsideEVs: "The base Model 3 will be produced at the Tesla Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, which allows it to avoid the 15% import tax and catch onto Chinese subsidies for New Energy Vehicles. Currently, the cheapest Model 3 in China starts at 377,000 yuan (≈$54,542). Bloomberg says that the new price could be 300,000-350,000 yuan (≈$43,400-50,634) before subsidies. The pricing announcement could be related to the surprise scheduled for May 31, but as everyone knows the Model 3 produced locally will be cheaper than imported, it's hard to say what the surprise really will be."   https://insideevs.com/news/351910/china-made-tesla-model-3-price/   GM PLANS OWN LARGE EV CHARGING NETWORK "GM confirmed today that it plans to its own large electric car charging network with thousands of fast-charging stations in the US, but the automaker apparently can’t be bothered to invest in it itself." writes Fred for Electrek: "The American automaker confirmed today that it is teaming up with Bechtel, the largest construction company in the US, “to build thousands of electric vehicle fast-charging stations” across the United States as part of a new charging network."   CNN reports: "The American automaker confirmed today that it is teaming up with Bechtel, the largest construction company in the US, “to build thousands of electric vehicle fast-charging stations” across the United States as part of a new charging network. Neither company plans to put money into this project, though. The two companies will create a separate corporation to build the charging network and other companies are being invited to invest in it. Neither GM nor Bechtel would name potential investors while discussions are still ongoing.”"   https://electrek.co/2019/05/28/gm-ev-charging-network/   ROLEC, EV.ENERGY UNVEIL NEW SMART CHARGER AND MOBILE APP UK: "Rolec EV is launching a new range of smart home EV chargers that allow drivers to manage charging through an app. The EV HomeSmart chargers will be integrated with the EV.Energy cloud-based backend, and are eligible under Office for Low Emission Vehicles' (OLEV) grant scheme." reports Current NEws: "Drivers will be able to programme the charger to charge at specific times, with the EV.Energy app also integrating with a homeowner's electricity provider to charge at the cheapest rate. Charging history will be available to see through the app, including live charging status, electricity used in kWh, energy costs and carbon savings. The chargers are enabled at speeds of 3.6kW or 7.2kW and are being launched as part of the WallPod EV charging portfolio. It’s the second addition to the portfolio announced this month, with a range of solar powered chargers also being launched."   https://www.current-news.co.uk/news/rolec-ev-energy-unveil-new-smart-charger-and-mobile-app   TESLA MODEL 3 GETS CERTIFIED IN AUSTRALIA, ORDERS SHOULD OPEN SOON CleanTEchnica says: "On Friday, Tesla received notification from the Australian Government that the company’s application to sell Model 3’s in Australia was approved. From looking at the application, Tesla only applied for the 1726 kg and 1856 kg weights, which correspond to the Long Range Rear Wheel Drive, Long Range All Wheel Drive, and Performance All Wheel Drive models, so the Standard Range and Standard Range Plus won’t be coming to Australia right yet — probably in a few months after they work through the backlog of orders for the higher-end models."   USED EV PRICES INCREASE IN UK "Prices of second-hand electric and hybrid vehicles are soaring as demand outstrips supply" says InsideEVs: "electric vehicles - also known as EVs - are rocketing in value, with prices growing 11 percent. In contrast, the average price growth rate for all vehicles has slowed to 1.5 percent - the lowest rate for almost two years."   KIA RELEASES REVISED NIRO HYBRID MODELS IN EUROPE "Kia has now started selling the revised versions of the Niro Hybrid and the Niro Plug-in Hybrid that they presented at the Geneva Motor Show." reports electrive.com: "The 2020 models of the two hybrid models can be ordered in the UK from 1 July, where prices start at £24,590 for the Niro Hybrid and £31,945 for the Niro Plug-in Hybrid. The cosmetic changes to Kia’s hybrid models include a revamping of the interior and exterior designs so that the hybrids look more like the fully-electric e-Niro.   In Germany, prices start at 26,990 Euro (Niro Hybrid) or 33,990 Euro (Niro Plug-in Hybrid) and will be available from dealers at the end of July."     COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Themen heute:    Neue Versionen von Kia Niro Hybrid und Plug-in Hybrid   ///   Powertrain-Entwicklung in Aktion: Magna Wintertests 2019 Foto: Kia Motors Deutschland GmbH 1. Nach der Einführung des Kia e-Niro hat der Hersteller zum Modelljahr 2020 auch die beiden Hybrid-Varianten des speziell auf alternative Antriebe zugeschnittenen Crossovers überarbeitet. Die neuen Versionen des Niro Hybrid und Niro Plug-in Hybrid geben ihr Debüt auf dem Genfer Autosalon. Sie präsentieren sich mit einem modifizierten Außendesign, einem grundlegend neu gestalteten und aufgewerteten Interieur sowie mit dem neuen Kia-Telematiksystem UVO CONNECT, das ein breites Spektrum an Echtzeitinformationen und Vernetzungsfunktionen bietet.   Foto: Kia Motors Deutschland GmbH  In Deutschland werden die überarbeiteten Modelle Ende des zweiten Quartals 2019 eingeführt. Wie bei der Marke üblich gilt für den Crossover die 7-Jahre-Kia-Herstellergarantie, die auch die Antriebsbatterie mit einschließt.Von dem im September 2016 eingeführten Niro Hybrid und der ein Jahr später gestarteten Plug-in-Variante hat Kia bisher insgesamt über 270.000 Einheiten verkauft, davon mehr als 100.000 in Europa. Hier wuchs der Absatz des kompakten Crossovers 2018 um 33 Prozent auf über 45.000 Einheiten, darunter knapp 35.000 Hybride und rund 10.000 Plug-in-Hybride.   Foto: Magna   2. Die Elektrifizierung des Automobils nimmt immer mehr Fahrt auf – und der Technologie- und Mobilitätskonzern Magna, weltweit agierender Zulieferer und Entwicklungspartner der Automobilindustrie, marschiert als einer der Leader an der Spitze dieses technologischen Aufbruchs. Auf einer gefrorenen Teststrecke in Nordschweden testet Magna seine Prototypen und aktuellen Serienfahrzeuge mit fortschrittlichen Magna-Technologien. Die vorgestellten Fahrzeuge reichen von reinen Elektrofahrzeugen über Hochvolt-Plug-in Hybride bis hin zu Mildhybriden mit 48-Volt-Technologie. Die Tests finden unter anspruchsvollen Klima- und Fahrbedingungen statt, bei denen alle gezeigten Technologien ihre funktionalen Vorteile besonders hervorheben können. Besonderes Highlight war die Weltpremiere des e2 eDrive-Prototypen-Demonstrators von Magna, mit dem das gesamte Spektrum der Elektrifizierung in einem Fahrzeug abgebildet werden kann.  Im Prototypenträger sind sowohl ein hybridisiertes Doppelkupplungsgetriebe als auch eine elektrische Hinterachse mit Torque Vectoring installiert, die separat oder kombiniert und in unterschiedlichen Leistungsbereichen aktiviert werden können.

Themen heute:    Neuregelung bei Elektro-Dienstwagen: Was Fahrer eines Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid künftig sparen   Nach der nun erfolgten Zustimmung des Bundesrats ist der Weg frei für die steuerliche Begünstigung von Elektro-Dienstwagen. Bisher muss ein Arbeitnehmer, der seinen Dienstwagen privat nutzt, unabhängig von der Antriebsart monatlich ein Prozent des Bruttolistenpreises als so genannten geldwerten Vorteil versteuern.   Hinzu kommen 0,03 Prozent für jeden Kilometer des Arbeitswegs. Diese Steuerbelastung wird für Neuwagen mit Steckdosenanschluss jetzt deutlich reduziert: Bei Elektrofahrzeugen und Plug-in-Hybriden, die vom 1. Januar 2019 bis zum 31. Dezember 2021 angeschafft oder geleast werden, gilt als steuerliche Bemessungsgrundlage nur noch die Hälfte des Bruttolistenpreises. Was das konkret heißt, hat der Hersteller Kia, eine treibende Kraft bei der Antriebselektrifizierung, jetzt am Beispiel des Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid vorgerechnet. Der Crossover, der im reinen Elektrobetrieb bis zu 58 Kilometer weit fahren kann, kostet in der umfassend ausgestatten Topversion Spirit 38.450 Euro. Die Entfernung zwischen Wohnung und Arbeitsplatz liegt in Deutschland bei durchschnittlich 17 Kilometer. Von diesem Wert ausgehend beträgt der Steuervorteil des Niro Plug-in Hybrid Spirit gegenüber einem konventionell angetriebenen Fahrzeug mit gleichem Preis bis zu 1.463 Euro pro Jahr. Dieser Betrag gilt bei einem Steuersatz von 42 Prozent. Arbeitnehmer mit einem Steuersatz von 30 Prozent sparen durch die Neuregelung jährlich immer noch 1.045 Euro. Bei einem Modell mit Sonderausstattungen oder bei einem längeren Arbeitsweg fällt die Steuerersparnis noch entsprechend höher aus.    Die Unternehmen profitieren darüber hinaus vom Umweltbonus für Fahrzeuge mit Elektroantrieb. Sie beträgt bei Plug-in-Hybriden 3.000 Euro netto. Unter wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten seien die indirekten Kosteneffekte ein weiterer Pluspunkt umweltfreundlicher Fahrzeuge. Durch den verstärkten Einsatz von Elektro- und Plug-in-Hybridmodellen sinken auch die Kfz-Steuerausgaben, was sich wiederum positiv auf die Kostenstruktur der Flottenbetreiber auswirkt. Neben dem kompakten Crossover hat Kia auch in der Mittelklasse Hybride mit Steckdosenanschluss zu bieten: Der Optima Plug-in Hybrid und dessen Kombivariante Optima Sportswagon Plug-in Hybrid sind in Kürze in überarbeiteten Versionen bestellbar.
