Delving deep into tuning the Nissan Note hybrid

Taking a deep drive into the Nissan Note hybrid

Hay que los llama híbridos “ligeros”; otros híbridos “suaves”; también “micro-híbridos”; las marcas, muchas veces “Mild Hybrid” que suena mejor; algunos la llaman híbrido “quiero y no puedo”; otros dicen que son un truco para conseguir una buena “pegatina” sin complicarse; y los hay sin pelos en la lengua que dicen que son un timo. ¿Son un timo o funcionan? Te lo vamos a contar y ¿qué os parece si este video los comenzamos por el final, por la conclusión? ¡Allá vamos! ¡La mayoría de estos “Mild Hybrid” son en cierto modo un timo! Puedo ser menos drástico: Es una tecnología que supone más ventajas para las marcas que para los consumidores… Es mi opinión, la de muchos periodistas, la de muchos técnicos, expertos y asociaciones de consumidores. También os adelanto que esta “Micro Hibridación” en algunos casos y a algunos motores les sienta bien. Por mucho que no te gusten los híbridos de ningún tipo y por mucho que a un “ingenierillo” como es mi caso no le gusten de entrada los coches con dos tipos de energía… la hibridación es una idea genial. ¿Por qué? Los volvemos a explicar: Vas a poder recuperar gran parte de la energía que pierdes en la frenadas… Además, desde el punto de vista deportivo, ayuda al motor térmico, como pasa en la F1 y en resistencia, permite convertir coche de solo propulsión trasera en tracción total. -HEV, Hybrid Electric Vehicle o híbridos convencionales. No se enchufa, pero tienen una batería relativamente grande y el coche, aunque sea a baja velocidad y por cortos plazos de tiempo o espacio, puede ser movido por el motor o motores eléctricos. -PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle o Vehículo Híbrido Eléctrico Enchufable. Son híbridos que puedes enchufar y con baterías mayores que le permiten hacer entre 50 y a veces incluso 100 km, depende del ritmo, solo en modo eléctrico. Probablemente sean ya los más habituales y para mí los más interesantes. -E-REV: Extended Range Electric Vehicle o Vehículo Eléctrico de Autonomía Extendida. Para mí son híbridos “al revés”, pues el motor térmico no mueve el coche, sino que recarga la batería. Llamarlos “eléctricos” me parece un error y salvo excepciones, como el Nissan Note e-Power, en Japón, no han tenido gran éxito. -MHEV: Mild-hybrid Electric Vehicle o Vehículo Microhíbrido Eléctrico. Los que nos ocupan, con batería pequeñas, de menor voltaje e incapaces por sí solas de mover al coche. Los fabricantes de coches han encontrado una forma de homologar las emisiones y consumo de sus modelos a fin de cumplir el límite fijado por la Unión Europea (UE), pero con coches que en muchas ocasiones consumen más que los modelos térmicos equivalentes. Y es que si estás pensando que el sistema micro híbrido sirve para homologar como híbridos a coches pequeños y baratos… te estás equivocando. Precisamente esta tecnología permite convertir en “ecológicos” a coches que no lo son en absoluto. La OCU española hizo un estudio y comparó tres modelos de este tipo con SUV convencionales. Hablo por ejemplo del Audi Q8 50 TDi con diésel de 3.0 litros y 286 CV de potencia, del Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 Coupé con motor gasolina de 299 CV a los que se suman 14 CV del sistema EQ Boost y del Range Rover Evoque P300 un SUV que dispone de un propulsor gasolina de 300 CV. La comparación fue con dos SUV convencionales un Nissan Qashqai 1.5 dCi de 115 CV y un Dacia Sandero 1.0 gasolina de 75 CV, ambos con etiqueta C, en España, la de los modelos nuevos más contaminantes. Pero si comparas los consumos y las emisiones… ¡en algunos casos los modelos convencionales y modestos contaminan y consumen la mitad!... Algo pasa aquí, ¿no os parece? Y solo con este, accedes a una forma de conseguir homologaciones y ventajas de coche “ecológico” cuando no siempre lo es o lo es menos que otros. Esta simplificación conlleva una ventaja indiscutible, puedes convertir casi cualquier coche en híbrido y, sobre todo, la mayor ventaja para el fabricante es un: menor coste. Como decía, hay “Mild Hybrid” a los que les sienta bien el sistema, como algunos Suzuki que he probado, porque el motor eléctrico ayuda al motor, sobre todo cuando es gasolina, en los momentos más difíciles, como a bajo régimen. Os recuerdo que algunos motores ECO, de ciclo Miller, tiene pocos bajos. Pero en general la existencia de este modelo se debe más a una legislación bajo mi punto de vista muy deficiente, que a verdaderos resultados de interés para el consumidor. Porque para el fabricante, en muchos casos, es un verdadero “chollo”… pero el cliente obtiene una etiqueta ECO por poco dinero. Coche del día. Os voy a dar una exclusiva. Antes os comento cual es el coche del día: El BMW Z4 M40i, un coche con el que me he hecho cerca de 3.000 km estos días. Primero os comento cómo va el coche… y luego el motivo de haberlo probado tan a fondo.

¡Cuántas veces he oído que el coche eléctrico es lo último en tecnología! Pues es falso, el coche eléctrico es anterior al de explosión. O que los taxis urbanos deberían ser eléctricos… como lo eran en Nueva York en 1909… O que no hay camiones eléctricos … y se olvidan de los camiones españoles Autarquía. Y así, hasta 10… La Unión Europea, que quiere convertirse en adalid de la ecología, dice que hay que acabar con los modernos y eficaces coches híbridos enchufables, aún a costa de encarecer los coches y perjudicar a nuestra propia industria, al tiempo que declara “sostenibles” y, por tanto, con derechos a beneficios fiscales a las centrales nucleares y a las centrales eléctricas movidas con gas… ¿No es ésta una gran mentira? 1. Son los más modernos. ¡FALSO! Se considera generalmente como el primer automóvil el Benz 1 Motorwagen de 1885. Pues bien, en 1834, el profesor holandés Sibrandus Stratingh y su asistente Christopher Becker crearon un automóvil eléctrico alimentado por baterías no recargables. Pero cuando en 1852 se crearon las baterías recargables se dio un impulso total al coche eléctrico. 2. No eran fáciles de vender. ¡FALSO! El fabricante austriaco de carruajes Jacob Lohner, en 1890, estaba convencido que la era de los carruajes tirados por caballos llegaba a su fin y pensaba que se vendería mejor un coche eléctrico, y así fue, pues a muchos clientes potenciales no les gustaban los humos ni el ruido de los primeros coches con motor de combustión interna. El Egger-Lohner P1 capaz de alcanzar 34 km/h y recorrer hasta 79 km con una carga sería todo un éxito de ventas. 3. Tesla, la primera marca americana 100x100 eléctrica. ¡FALSO! Entre 1906 y en 1908 la Oliver P. Fritchle Company abrió su primera tienda en Colfax Avenue, Denver. Su modelo denominado “One Hundred Mile Fritchle” podía recorrer hasta 160 km en llano tras recargar su batería toda la noche. Los pedidos empezaron a llegar desde todos los rincones del país. 4. Aceleran pero no corren. ¡FALSO! El belga Camille Jenatzy con su coche eléctrico “La Jamais Contente” fue en 1899 el primer ser humano en superar los 100 km/h sobre tierra y a partir de ahí empezaría una lucha por ser el más rápido sobre ruedas. Esto demostraba los progresos del automóvil eléctrico. 5. Su cuota de mercado era baja. ¿Seguro? ¡FALSO! Ahora sí es baja, muy baja en general, pero en el año 1900 la cuota de mercado de los eléctricos en los EE.UU. de Norteamérica era de más del 25 por ciento. 6. Nunca ha habido “electrolineras” suficientes. ¡FALSO! Es una vergüenza que ahora, que nuestros políticos quieren meternos los eléctricos a la fuerza, no sea fácil recargar. Pero a comienzos del Siglo XX los automóviles eléctricos representaban el tercio del parque móvil de grandes ciudades como Nueva York, Boston o Chicago. 7. Empezaron bien, pero no se sabe porque desaparecieron. ¡FALSO! En los USA sobre todo los coches eléctricos eran muy numerosos, apreciados y tenían una importante cuota de mercado. ¿Qué acabó con ellos? No tiene ningún misterio, la causa de su desaparición tiene nombre y apellidos: Ford T. 8. Hasta el S.XXI ninguna marca había invertido. ¡FALSO! Hay muchos ejemplos, pero ¿nadie se acuerda del EV1? General Motors fue el primero de los grandes fabricantes en atreverse comercialmente con un coche eléctrico, el EV1. En realidad, era una prueba piloto en la que solo los clientes de California, Arizona y Georgia podían acceder al EV1 mediante leasing vía concesionarios Saturn. En 1996 comenzó la fabricación del EV1. Hasta 2003, se fabricaron tan sólo 1.117 unidades. 9. No ha habido camiones eléctricos. Pues sí… y españoles, entre otros. Porque después de la Guerra Civil, la situación en España era muy complicada y los carburantes para automóviles escaseaban, eran muy caros y había que agudizar el ingenio. Se usaba el gasógeno que era poco eficiente. A finales de 1942 el ingeniero militar Guillermo Menéndez de Aulestia fundó en Barcelona la marca Autarquía y consiguió que el Gobierno de España la declarase de interés nacional. La marca quería fabricar y vender exclusivamente vehículos eléctricos. 10. Los híbridos son un invento reciente. Recientísimo… de 1900. Esto es ¡FALSO! ¿Habéis oído hablar del Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus? Hace más de 120 años Ferdinand Porsche, con solo 24 añitos, ya diseño un modelo híbrido que fue todo un éxito. Técnicamente Porsche lo que hizo fue poner un motor térmico acoplado a una dinamo que alimentaba un motor eléctrico… o sea, lo mismo que el Nissan Note e-Power que arrasa en Japón o el Qashqai e-power.. Conclusión. Estas son las mentiras “históricas” pero si os parece podemos hacer un vídeo de las mentiras “actuales”…. Pero seguro que me salen más de 10.

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 EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN OLEARY HYUNDAI IONIQ 6 ELECTRIC SEDAN SPIED TESTING IN GERMANY "Hyundai reportedly took the Ioniq 6 back to the drawing board for some last minute design changes. We therefore don't know if the final production interpretation of the model will look like this prototype or if it will even more closely resemble the stunning Prophecy concept that previewed it." asks InsideEVs: "while previous prototypes were spotted with cameras instead of regular side mirrors, these newer prototypes featured the latter. Hyundai is building the Ioniq 6 on it E-GMP dedicated electric vehicle platform and thus it will surely share many components with the Ioniq 5. However, the largest available battery will be bigger than the Ioniq 5's 72.6 kWh pack and it could be closer to 100 kWh (with around 300 miles of range), according to some rumors." VOLKSWAGEN REVEALS PHEV PLANS WITH >100 KM RANGE ""In the course of a presentation of its current plug-in hybrid models, Volkswagen has given an outlook on its upcoming PHEV strategy. A new generation of plug-in hybrid drives is expected to be used from 2023." says electrive :"the battery capacity and thus the electric range are to increase significantly – the latter to around 100 kilometres.  Volkswagen's PHEVs will in future have a fast-charging option with a CCS connection, enabling significantly faster charging processes than with the existing single-phase onboard chargers with only 3.6 kW charging power. Media reports indicate that the AC onboard charger could also be upgraded. From the 3.6 kW single-phase mentioned at the beginning to 11 kW three-phase" Read more: https://www.electrive.com/2021/09/29/volkswagen-reveals-phev-plans-with-100-km-range/ VW WASTES NO TIME JOSTLING FOR GERMANY'S NEW POLITICAL PARADIGM "On Monday morning, the man who prevailed in Germany's race to succeed Angela Merkel as chancellor called on potential partners to join him in a new government as soon as possible. Olaf Scholz, of the center-left Social Democrats, appealed to the environmentally minded Greens and pro-business Free Democrats to back a three-way coalition following his narrow victory in Sunday's election." reports Bloomberg: "Just a few hours later, Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess took to Twitter to sketch out the car giant's vision for a new government. His 10-point wish list includes calls to expand renewables, curb coal, raise the price of CO2 and scrap subsidies for gasoline and diesel fuel. VW's CEO openly trying to speed up the demise of the internal combustion engine would have been unthinkable only a few years ago. the SPD has repeatedly called on the industry to be more ambitious when it comes to phasing out the combustion engine. The party was instrumental in denying the industry's request for a scrapping bonus for older gasoline and diesel vehicles at the height of the pandemic last year."

The company had 315 jobs posted on its website on Monday, Sept. 27. Tesla announced it was building a “Gigafactory” in southeastern Travis County in July 2020. The factory is set to employee 5,000 people with annual wages starting at $35,000." says local news channel KVUE: "Ed Latson, executive director at Austin Regional Manufacturers Association, told the ABJ that, more than likely, more jobs are coming when the Tesla plant begins production. The Gigafactory is set to begin production by the end of 2021."

The eScooter 125's battery can be charged in situ or be removed and placed nearer to a plug socket for convenient and safe charging. Integrated into the SEAT MÓ's rear wheel is an 9kW electric motor (peak power) – equivalent to a 125cc motorcycle or scooter – that produces 240Nm of torque, giving the city electric motorcycle a top speed of up to 59mph (95km/h) and a 0-31mph (50km/h) acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds. The SEAT MÓ eScooter 125 has a range of up to 85 miles (137km) (WMTC) on a single charge of its removable 5.6kWh lithium-ion battery pack.  For easy transportation of the 40kg weight of the battery pack, once removed, the eScooter 125 designers have carefully crafted an extendable handle and a set of caster wheels to enable the driver to pull the pack along to the nearest charging point – wherever this happens to be.  Read more: https://www.electrive.com/2021/09/29/volkswagen-reveals-phev-plans-with-100-km-range/ TOP 10 EV BATTERY MANUFACTURERS https://www.mining.com/web/ranked-the-top-10-ev-battery-manufacturers/ CITROËN UK EXPANDS NEW Ë-SPACETOURER ELECTRIC RANGE WITH TWO NEW XL VARIANTS Citroën UK has updated its New ë-SpaceTourer electric range, with the model now available in both ‘M' and ‘XL' forms. With the Diesel-powered Citroën SpaceTourer already available in ‘M' and ‘XL' sizes, Citroën UK has now increased its New ë-SpaceTourer electric range by 100% – by adding two new ‘XL' variants to the model selection. he ‘XL' versions measure 5,309mm in length for improved interior space and practicality. In comparison, ‘M' variants measure 4,959mm in length. Both the ‘M' and ‘XL' versions benefit from the same wheelbase of 3,275mm, with the extra length translating into increased load space of 3,100-litres (loaded to the roof), compared with 2,550-litres in ‘M' versions. The ‘Business Edition' variant is capable of seating up to nine people, in three rows of seats. The second and third rows feature a 1/3 - 2/3 split design and removable seating for added practicality.

POWER CUTS MAY STIFLE CHINESE DEMAND FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES "China's power cuts could put a dent in the booming electric vehicle (EV) sector as the suspension of charging stations in parts of the country keeps some battery-powered cars off the roads, analysts said." according to South China Morning Post: "The power blackouts in more than 10 provinces across the mainland are likely to further sap drivers' appetite for EVs in regions where their take-up is already low. “In northeast China, electric cars have been greeted with a lukewarm response for many years,” said Zhang Fan, a car insurance broker in Jilin province. “The power cuts could further siphon off buying interest in electricity-powered vehicles.”" https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3151085/chinas-switch-financing-overseas-renewable-energy-projects CHINA'S CARMAKERS ARE MAKING CHEAPER ELECTRIC VEHICLES "As the world enters the era of the electric vehicle (EV), are we about to see a sea change in the identity and makeup of Europe's streets?  The quality, and, more importantly, the affordability of Chinese EVs is becoming a situation that is harder for European manufacturers to ignore with each passing year, and it could be just a matter of time before the market becomes flooded with imports from China." says Euronews.com: "According to a report from automotive data analysis firm Jato Dynamics, the average price of a new electric car in China since 2011 has fallen from €41,800 to €22,100. While China's significant manufacturing capabilities have never been in doubt, the question was whether it would be able to innovate to the same degree as its Western counterparts. That question has been answered in the form of their batteries and the technology they are able to implement inside their vehicles (although parts of the industry are still subsidised by the Chinese government)."

Hello again! It’s Easter. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time to dig out those old sound clips that you previously considered unworthy of broadcast and to attempt to give them new life. In this re-edited version of our bumper episode on car culture, Nick and Gavin once again discuss cars, magazines, films and advertisements that evoke the spirit of driving and car ownership. In this version, we ask: - Why can’t either of us say ‘patented’? - Who is more drunk (in the studio, not in the car) – Nick or Gavin? - Will Gavin get shot down for the manner in which he attempts to praise Bertha Benz? (Answer: almost certainly) - Did we ‘enjoy MG’ a little too much? - Which is the worst car advert (indeed, the worst ad) ever? (Nick says, ‘Seat – Because them…us’) - What’s that buzzing noise? (Answer: Nick’s laptop fan) - Are John and Ian with us, and will we get the backing? - Would you want your car delivered by Kowalski and have you gathered that he drives very fast? - Is ‘Weekend’ about the hell of consumer culture or the sexiness of sitting on eggs? - Is greed good, and will all have our own trains in the future? - Is Nick’s new car more boring than a Honda Jazz? At least it’s not a Nissan Note….

Eventually millions of Ford and Lincoln vehicles will be powered by the Android Automotive OS, which means that popular Google apps and services such as Maps and Google Assistant will be built-in to the vehicle's infotainment system without having to sync a cellphone. " according to FutureCar: "The Android OS supports OTA updates, so Ford customers will always have the latest software installed in their vehicles. Ford vehicles will also feature Google Maps as the primary navigation provider. Google Maps is one of the company's most used apps and includes voice-guided turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic information, automatic rerouting, lane guidance and more.  The open-source Android ecosystem also allows Ford and third-party developers to build their own apps that provide a more-personalized ownership experience for Ford customers."   We've seen this in Polestar 2 and Volvo XC40.   https://www.axios.com/ford-google-android-vehicles-6bb6d356-9343-4e77-9ccb-ca9e67373e15.html   https://www.futurecar.com/4395/Ford-&-Google-Plan-to-Reinvent-the-Connected-Vehicle-Experience-with-New-Android-OS-Partnership   VW CEO TELLS MANAGERS TO PREPARE FOR ‘SIGNIFICANT’ MARKET UPTURN "Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Herbert Diess provided an upbeat outlook for the back half of this year even as Covid-19 and a global shortage of semiconductors is poised to hit first-quarter results." reports Bloomberg: "Europe’s largest automaker lost the top spot in global sales to Toyota Motor Corp. last year, but it sold more electric cars than Tesla Inc. in Europe and is escalating the world’s biggest push into purely battery-powered vehicles. VW will roll out the ID.4 crossover under its namesake brand in 2021 and add more versions of the Audi e-tron and Porsche Taycan models. The two luxury brands generate the biggest chunk of profits for the German industrial giant. VW expects to sell roughly 600,000 purely battery-powered cars this year"   And they're all profitable.   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-01/vw-ceo-tells-mangers-to-prepare-for-significant-market-upturn   GASOLINE IS BECOMING WORTHLESS "You still have to pay a couple bucks for a gallon of gas (more in California, as always), but automakers are discovering that gas-powered cars may be a liability that detracts from their valuations, instead of an asset that enhances values." according to Yahoo Finance: "New research from Morgan Stanley argues that traditional internal combustion engines—the mainstay of automobiles for more than a century—are destined to become money-losers as early as 2030. he Morgan Stanley analysis suggests market forces may now drive a move from carbon-fueled vehicles to electric ones, at least as much as government policy. The investing firm recently surveyed institutional investors on the value of internal-combustion technology at GM and Ford. Seventeen percent said ICE technology had no value or negative value today. Sixty percent rated ICE technology as slightly positive. But essentially all of the growth in powertrain adoption in coming years will be electric, while ICE powertrains are certain to decline. With investors viewing internal-combustion powertrains as a dying technology, there’s likely to be little new investment, with research dollars flowing instead to the electrification efforts investors value. That will speed innovation and lower costs."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gasoline-is-becoming-worthless-210636353.html   TESLA RECALLS 135,000 CARS AFTER PUSHING BACK AGAINST REGULATORS "Tesla (TSLA) is recalling 135,000 Tesla Model S sedans and Model X SUVs because their large center touchscreens can fail. Tesla had previously objected to a push to issue a recall from regulators, as it claimed that the problem wasn't a safety issue." according to CNN: "The recall applies to some 2012 through 2018 Model S and 2016 through 2018 Model X vehicles. Under the recall, which will begin on March 30, Tesla must notify owners of cars with the failure-prone touchscreens and replace a computer chip that controls the screen. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) considers this a safety issue because without a functioning center screen, drivers lose the display for the car's backup camera and controls for the window defroster and defogger., Tesla said in its letter to NHTSA that it will make the recall repairs for free and will offer a discount on upgraded screen hardware."   From NHTSA: ""We note that your report states that Tesla believes that this matter does not have a safety risk," read the letter, signed by Alex Ansley, chief of NHTSA's Recall Management Division. "In our view, this statement has no force or effect in terms of Tesla's obligation to undertake and complete the recall, and NHTSA does not agree with it.""   https://edition.cnn.com/2021/02/02/business/tesla-screen-recall/index.html   FIRST LOOK AT TESLA MODEL S AND X FRONT ‘MEGACASTING’ "A recently leaked image from the Fremont Factory has provided what could very well be the first look at the Tesla Model S and Model X refresh’s front “megacastings.” Provided that the leaked images are accurate, it would appear that Tesla’s updated flagship vehicles would feature some of the company’s most advanced casting technologies. " reports TEslarati: "Model S and Model X refresh features two castings in the front underbody and two in the rear underbody. This means that the flagship vehicles’ front underbody is now tied together by the dash and central underbody. The rear underbody, on the other hand, now features two castings linked together by stamped and welded aluminum. With such a system in place, there could be one megacast for each of the flagship vehicles’ wheels."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-s-model-x-refresh-megacast-first-look-photos/   LYNK & CO ZERO EV INTERIOR TEASER "Geely's Lynk & Co has just released a new teaser of the interior of its upcoming high performances and long-range all-electric model - Lynk & Co Zero. We must admit that it looks cool. There is a dashboard display that reminds us of the one in Ford Mustang Mach-E, and a 15.4" central touchscreen that, on the other hand, reminds us of the one in Teslas." says InsideEVS: "The Zero EV is expected on the Chinese market in the fourth quarter of this year, as the first model based on the Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA). The specs will be really strong, including:0-100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 4 seconds. long-range of more than 700 km (435 miles) - under the NEDC test cycle"   https://insideevs.com/news/484189/lynk-co-zero-interior-teaser/   PUSH TO GO ELECTRIC COULD WIPE OUT JAPAN’S CHEAP MICROCARS "Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga pledged last year to decarbonize Japan by 2050, with plans to ban the sale of new gasoline-only vehicles by the mid-2030s. That’s created a dilemma for Honda Motor Co., Nissan Motor Co. and other makers of compact cars, with the added cost of technology making them less affordable for buyers." says Bloomberg: " Prices for electric-vehicle battery packs fell 15% from 2019 to 2020, whereas plug-in hybrid packs only fell 5%, according to BloombergNEF. Hybrid pack prices didn’t change significantly. The worst scenario for Japanese kei makers is that affordable electric cars from China will enter the market and lure kei customers, Miyao said. SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co.’s four-seater hatchback Mini EV has become a best-seller in China and is one of the cheapest on the market, costing less than $5,000."   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-31/push-to-go-electric-could-wipe-out-japan-s-cheap-microcars   NISSAN NOTE E-POWER ORDERS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE MONTHLY TARGET "Orders for the all-new Nissan Note e-POWER have surpassed 20,000—more than double the compact car’s monthly sales target—since it was released in Japan in late December. (Earlier post.) Equipped with Nissan’s e-POWER electrified powertrain, the fully refreshed Note went on sale on 23 December with a monthly sales target of 8,000 vehicles. As of 1 February, Nissan has received orders for 20,044." says Green Car Congress: "e-POWER comprises a high-output battery and the powertrain which is integrated with gasoline engine, power generator, inverter and a motor. In conventional hybrid systems, the wheels are driven by an electric motor and a gasoline engine. However, in the e-POWER system, the gasoline engine is not connected to the wheels; it simply charges the battery. And unlike a full EV, the power source is the engine, rather than just the battery."   https://www.greencarcongress.com/2021/02/20210202-epower.html   NORWAY’S BEST EVER JANUARY AT 81% PLUGIN ELECTRIC VEHICLE SHARE "Norway, the world’s leading nation in the electric vehicle transition, saw 80.7% plugin share in January, significant growth from the 64.4% of a year ago. The overall auto market was up 7.7% in volume year-on-year, with the country’s bestsellers being the Audi e-tron and Peugeot e-2008." says Dr Max Holland for Clean Technica: "January’s combined plugin result of 80.66% comprised just over 53.0% full battery electrics (BEVs) and just over 27.6% plugin hybrids (PHEVs), a slight swing toward PHEVs from full year 2020’s contributions."   "Strong volume by the Peugeot e-2008, the Volvo XC40 and Polestar 2 saw them join the Mercedes-Benz EQC and Nissan LEAF in the top 6 positions in January"   https://cleantechnica.com/2021/02/02/norways-best-ever-january-at-81-plugin-electric-share/     NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK Have you seen the social media meme of putting two photo’s side by side and titling them ‘how to started’ and ‘how it’s going’.

Says Green Car Reports: "Ghosn, who is known as the father of the Nissan Leaf for his work championing the car's production, was arrested in November on charges of allegedly misusing company funds and underreporting his compensation for 10 years.In Japan, criminal suspects are routinely held without bail, and prosecutors can file new charges against jailed suspects to extend their detention, as they had with Ghosn."   “I am innocent and totally committed to vigorously defending myself in a fair trial against these meritless and unsubstantiated accusations,” he said in a statement following his release.   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1121916_japanese-judge-releases-former-nissan-chairman-ghosn-on-bail     SUPERCHARGER V3 CHARGES AT 1000 MILES PER HOUR V3 is a completely new architecture for Supercharging. A new 1MW power cabinet with a similar design to our utility-scale products supports peak rates of up to 250kW per car. At this rate, a Model 3 Long Range operating at peak efficiency can recover up to 75 miles of charge in 5 minutes and charge at rates of up to 1,000 miles per hour. Combined with other improvements we’re announcing today, V3 Supercharging will ultimately cut the amount of time customers spend charging by an average of 50%, as modeled on our fleet data.Supercharger stations with V3’s new power electronics are designed to enable any owner to charge at the full power their battery can take – no more splitting power with a vehicle in the stall next to you. With these significant technical improvements, we anticipate the typical charging time at a V3 Supercharger will drop to around 15 minutes.   On-Route Battery Warmup New Supercharging infrastructure isn’t the only way we are improving our customers’ charging experience. Beginning this week, Tesla is rolling out a new feature called On-Route Battery Warmup. Now, whenever you navigate to a Supercharger station, your vehicle will intelligently heat the battery to ensure you arrive at the optimal temperature to charge, reducing average charge times for owners by 25%.   This combination of higher peak power with V3, dedicated vehicle power allocation across Supercharger sites, and On-Route Battery Warmup enables customers to charge in half the time and Tesla to serve more than twice the number of customers per hour. Additionally, we are also unlocking 145kW charge rates for our 12,000+ V2 Superchargers over the coming weeks. By increasing the number of vehicles we’re able to charge at each Supercharger in a day, the investment we’re making in our network will go significantly further with every V3 station deployed. Paired with other savings, these efficiencies will translate to an increased pace of investment for Superchargers moving forward, with a continued focus on getting to 100% ownership coverage across all regions we operate.   We will increase Model S and X charging speeds via software updates in the coming months. V3 Supercharging will roll out to the wider fleet in an over the air firmware update to all owners in Q2 as more V3 Superchargers come online. Our first non-beta V3 Supercharger site will break ground next month, with North American sites ramping in Q2 and Q3 before coming to Europe and Asia-Pacific in Q4.   So we need to see all of this in the context of the Model Y, the Semi Truck and the Roadster.     PORSCHE TAYCAN DEBUT AND LAUNCH INFORMATION UNVEILED? “We may finally have some much-anticipated information about the Porsche Taycan reveal and deliveries.” “Porsche’s first all-electric car is coming, and many people are extremely excited about its potential. So much so, that orders are already sold out for at least the first year. Reports say that Porsche plans to build about 40,000 cars initially, however, it seems they’re all spoken for at this point. Hybrid Cars were apprised of some information on the Taycan EV Forum. The site came across a tweet from a user whose Porsche rep leaked some new details about the upcoming performance EV’s timeline.”   “It claims that the Taycan will be unveiled this coming September, with deliveries starting in January 2020. As Hybrid Cars points out, the Frankfurt Motor Show is in September, so this might be the case.”   Per my Porsche rep, Porsche has closed down its Deposit program for the US due to high demand, Sep 2019 unveil confirmed, 1mo prior to unveil build out for orders to open up, Jan 2020 deliveries   Dennis C. (@ClarkDennisM)   https://insideevs.com/porsche-taycan-debut-launch-information/amp/     KIA BRINGS E-SOUL TO EUROPE, UPGRADES NIRO HYBRID AND PHEV Kia used the Geneva International Motor Show as the platform to introduce the battery-electric e-Soul to Europe, as well as to reveal new upgrades to the Niro Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid. Every Kia vehicle on show in Geneva employs the brand’s mild-hybrid, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or electric vehicle technology. The e-Soul makes its European debut with a choice of two electric powertrains. Now in its third generation, the Kia e-Soul’s new-generation battery packs—either 64 kWh or 39.2 kWh in capacity—are up to 30% more energy efficient than Europe’s current best-selling electric vehicle. The car is offered in Europe without the option of an internal combustion engine. The new e-Soul goes on-sale in select European markets from the end of the first quarter of 2019, sold as standard with Kia’s 7-year, 150,000-kilometer warranty, which also covers the car’s electric motor and battery pack.   ALL-NEW PEUGEOT E-208 LOOKS DYNAMIC IN GENEVA "The all-new Peugeot 208 with the all-electric e-208 version shown in Geneva in GT trim, raised a lot of interest. The new French subcompact brings to the table completely new dynamic styling." says Mark Kane for InsideEVs: "In the current specification – especially with the 50 kWh battery,  WLTP range of 340 km (211 miles) and 100 kW electric motor – it could be the tamer of the Renault ZOE, but there is one doubt. In several months, ZOE will get major upgrade in the form of a second generation version, which should make both cars at least competitive. Orders will be accepted from late summer 2019 on, while the launch is expected in the fall of 2019."   https://insideevs.com/peugeot-e-208-debut-geneva-photos-videos/amp/   CURRENT BMW I3 TO GET REVAMP RATHER THAN ALL-NEW MODEL “The BMW i3 is entering its seventh year of production, but the electric car will continue to be produced with further updates planned. The BMW i3 will last beyond the usual seven-year model cycle and get further updates, according to the boss of BMW i Division." Reports John McIlroy for AutoExpress: "The electric city car recently received its second battery upgrade, taking the capacity to 120Ah (42.2kWh) and the real-world range to around 160 miles. However, speaking to Auto Express at the recent Geneva Motor Show, i Division chief Robert Irlinger said the latest battery tweaks would not be the last upgrades in the i3’s life - and stressed that the car is not bound by conventional life cycles."   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/bmw/i3/106240/current-bmw-i3-to-get-revamp-rather-than-all-new-model   NISSAN TO INTRODUCE E-POWER MODELS IN EUROPE Nissan unveiled the IMQ concept crossover, equipped with its award-winning e-POWER system, and announced it will launch the electrified powertrain technology in Europe. The technology will debut in European markets by 2022, Roel de Vries, Nissan corporate vice president, said at the Geneva International Motor Show. e-POWER has been a hit with consumers in Japan, where it’s helped make the Nissan Note the country’s best-selling registered car. Combining 100% electric motor drive with a gasoline engine that charges the battery, e-POWER cars give customers instant, smooth acceleration and excellent fuel efficiency. Introducing the technology in Europe will reinforce Nissan’s leadership in electrified vehicles in the region, where the Nissan LEAF is already the best-selling electric car. Building on the success of LEAF, e-POWER will be among a suite of new technologies coming to Nissan’s best-selling vehicles in Europe in the coming three years. By 2022 sales of electrified Nissan vehicles will increase five-fold, and by the end of that year will be double the market average.       COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Wednesday 4th 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.   Before we start The Fourth Of July. In the USA I hope you’re enjoying some well-deserved time off, an Independence Day holiday with family, friends and fireworks. Can I just say on behalf of everyone over here 242 years ago, sorry about all that, we had a habit of taking things. And by things I mean countries.   TESLA IS OFFICIALLY BRINGING MODEL 3 IN EUROPE FOR FIRST TIME AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED Fred at Electrek has AWESOME news for my UK listeners: "Tesla Model 3 has shown up in Europe in several unofficial events, but Tesla is now officially bringing the new electric car on the old continent for the first time this month." Early M3 are also being invited too join them. I'll see you there!   https://electrek.co/2018/07/03/tesla-model-3-official-europe-goodwood-festival-of-speed/     A SHOUTING ELON MUSK AND CHANGING RULES: INSIDE TELSA'S MODEL 3 SPRINT The reaction to Tesla's 5k model 3 achievement are coming in and CNBC goes for full drama: "A tense and short-tempered Chief Executive Elon Musk barked at engineers on the Fremont, California assembly line. Tesla pulled workers from other departments to keep pumping out the Model 3 electric sedans, disrupting production of the Model S and X lines. And weekend shifts were mandatory." They have a little more insight into those last few hours: "Leading up to Sunday morning's production milestone, Musk paced the Model 3 line, snapping at his engineers when the around-the-clock production slowed or stopped due to problems with robots, one worker said. Tesla built a new line in just two weeks in a huge tent outside the main factory, an unprecedented move in an industry that takes years to plan out its assembly lines, and said the tented production area accounted for 20 percent of the Model 3s produced last week." Tesla have made just shy of 50,000 Model S and X's in the first 6 months of a year they planned to produce 100,000. So all things being equal, no more no less, they'll do that too. "In the morning of Sunday, July 1, about five hours after the self-imposed second-quarter deadline had passed, the number 5,000 flashed on a countdown screen viewed by Tesla's Model 3 assembly-line workers. The Model 3 itself bore a "5,000" sign in its front window."   https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/03/shouting-elon-musk-changing-rules-inside-teslas-model-3-building-spr.html   HYUNDAI CONFIRMS HYBRID AND PHEV FOR NEW SANTA FE The Hyundai Santa Fe looks like it's electrifying for the next model. "Likely to arrive in 2020, the company confirmed their flagship SUV will receive a full array of hybrid powertrains, ranging from 48V mild hybrid, to hybrid and plug-in hybrid." says Jonathan Musk for fleetworld.co.uk: "Although there is little detail to go on for the hybrid and plug-in hybrid Santa Fe models, the mild hybrid variant will be the first to market, joining a powerful 48V system to a 2.0-litre diesel that can add torque to the engine thus improving efficiency."   https://fleetworld.co.uk/hyundai-confirms-hybrid-and-phev-for-new-santa-fe/   NISSAN'S E-POWER TECHNOLOGY IS ANNIHILATING THE TOYOTA PRIUS IN JAPAN There's a hybrid technology not so populate in USA and Europe but doing big business in Japan. There's an ICE but it's there as a generator and the battery always drives the wheels, but on the downside there's no plug socket, so you rely on gas to charge the battery. Is that an EV as fossils are the only fuel? Nissan call it an electrified vehicle because it's the same experience as an EV but with a much smaller 1.8kWh, and therefore lighter, plus cheaper battery. It's in the Nissan Note and soon the Serena family van. It can do just 1.7 miles before the battery expires. Seeking Alpha says: "Given its hybrid nature, environmental consciousness may somewhat hinder adoption of the e-Power technology in Europe and China but it's unclear how European and Chinese governments will react to Nissan's technology. we are taking for granted that California's ZEV Mandate provides a loophole for e-Power technology just as it does in the case of the range-extended version of the BMW i3." The note is already Japan's best-selling car with more buyers wanting e-power it's soon to dethrone the mighty Toyota Prius. Would you buy one? You'd still have to fill it up all the time. You do get more miles as it's technically more efficient to run the ICE as generator. Is this technology which is going to be outdated by the time battery prices drop?   https://seekingalpha.com/article/4185100-nissans-e-power-technology-annihilating-toyota-prius-japan-can-also-threat-tesla-lithium   VW ENDS GERMAN DIESEL FLEET RENEWAL SUBSIDIES "Volkswagen Group let its diesel fleet renewal program in Germany expire at the end of June, a company source said, deciding against extending it for a third time" reports AutoNews.com: "While some of the highest discounts were initially offered on cars equipped with alternative drivetrains such as full-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles, over time VW Group focused its incentive more on replacing old diesels with new ones."   http://europe.autonews.com/article/20180703/ANE/180709926/vw-ends-german-diesel-fleet-renewal-subsidies   TOLL DISCOUNTS OFFER ONE MORE REASON TO GO ELECTRIC In Ireland, "Drivers of electric and plug-in hybrid cars will pay a reduced fee on toll roads across the country from today" says Michael Cogley for The Times: "Those driving full electric vehicles will only pay half the toll rate while those using plug-in hybrids will get a reduction of 25 per cent. Drivers of fully hybrid cars, which rely on petrol or diesel to generate their initial energy, will receive no saving under the scheme."   https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/toll-discounts-offer-one-more-reason-to-go-electric-vwfcc8p2n     AUSTRALIAN FAST-CHARGERS SMASH EV “RANGE ANXIETY” ON AUTOBAHN Yesterday I was bashing Australia a bit for not having more solar and using that to power EV's considering they have all the sunshine. So let me redress that with some praise. Sophie Vorrath at RenewEconomy: "Electric vehicle drivers on Germany’s Autobahn can now recharge their car batteries almost as fast as filling up a petrol tank, using Australian made technology. Brisbane based EV infrastructure company Tritium said on Tuesday it had exported and installed 12 of the most powerful electric car chargers on the market to a site in Germany" The IONITY project is installing 350kW charging goodness.   https://reneweconomy.com.au/australian-fast-chargers-smash-ev-range-anxiety-autobahn-38364/   SWEDENS JULY 1 STEEP VEHICLE TAX HIKE SPARKS LAST MINUTE JUNE CAR SALES FRENZY "Significant increases in annual vehicle taxes, particularly for vehicles with high CO2 emission came into effect July 1 this year. These tax hikes for higher polluting cars in particular were at the root of Junes car sales bonanza" says AID with a view to how it will affect EVs: "Perhaps most significant, the one-off subsidies for low-emission electric (BEV) and plug-in-hybrid cars have changed. In short, starting July 1 this year, buyers of new zero-emission BEVs will get a SEK60,000 (5,800) purchase bonus.

But I never many see EVs. Now it turns out I may be helping pay for them! 500 rapid chargers will be installed using 10 million Euros of funds from tourists. A new policy will halt the sale of new diesel vehicles from 2025 and petrol fuelled cars from 2035 as the island moves to electric.   GRIDSERVE® ANNOUNCE UK-WIDE NETWORK OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE “FORECOURTS OF THE FUTURE” Here in the UK: "GRIDSERVE’s national network of Electric Forecourts™ will offer significantly more high power charging points than are currently available at most UK petrol stations, and a totally new customer-focused charging, retail and services offering". Toddington Harper, chief executive of GRIDSERVE, said: “Our plan is to deliver for electric vehicle charging what Amazon has done for shopping online – make it simple, price competitive, and a great customer experience”. The team is currently exploring relationships with landowners, developers, investors, EV manufacturers, fleet managers and retailers.   WHAT’S DRIVING OIL COMPANIES TO BUY ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING FIRMS? org has more thoughts on the recent purchase of Chargemaster by BP: "News of the Chargemaster acquisition comes less than a year after rival Shell shared plans to acquire NewMotion, a charging station company with more than 30,000 installations across 25 European countries. Other big oil and gas firms exploring alternative energy technologies include ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Saudi Aramco. Saudi Arabia’s largest commissioned solar power plant sits today in a parking lot at Aramco’s headquarters in Dhahran. And last year, it was reported that the national oil company was considering an investment of up to $5 billion in the renewable energy sector."     COMMUNITY New members of the EV gang on YouTube   You can listen to all previous 169 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Hello and welcome to the Friday 15th June edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   MORE JAGUAR I-PACE REVIEWS Do you remember a week or so ago, the first batch of I-PACE reviews hit the net from the largest video and magazine channels. Now it seems the next wave of website this time have had their time in the car, as it seemed another set of reviews all appeared today.   Starting with Seth writing for Electrek, one of 20 writers at the event: "I noticed that I was one of the only folks with any EV experience. While its 240-mile 400HP AWD electric drivetrain certainly screams SUV, its actual body shape, internal space and ride make it feel more like a sedan. If anything, it feels closest to a Tesla Model 3 inside, especially with its glass roof, but that’s beyond a stretch. Jaguar has beautiful and tasteful buttons, knobs and a small screen while Tesla’s spartan interior UI is simply a large touch screen with two simple knobs on the steering wheel. The official charging rate of the I-PACE is 100kW but I was told that a future OTA software update could push charging to over 110kW, closer to 120kW No one is going to mistake the I-PACE for a Tesla unless they are fresh out of ideas and need some clickbait." I'm sure if you tune into the Electrek podcast there will be a lot of chat about it. Engadget: "One of the most important addition is support for over-the-air updates. While a majority of the features in the I-Pace are cribbed from other Jags and Land Rovers, this one is clearly borrowed from Tesla. Musk's company set a precedent with its OTA updates and it's good to see other automakers following suit. Consumers are used to seeing their other tech devices update without having to visit a service center, there's no reason the biggest computer they own shouldn't do it as well." ArsTechnica: "The Jaguar I-Pace might just be the most significant new car we'll drive this year. Heat management was a key concern, and there are actually three separate cooling systems: one for the cabin, one for the battery, and a third just for the control electronics. The batteries are happiest at between 30C and 40C. Under the European WLTP cycle, the I-Pace has been rated at 400km of range. The more accurate EPA test the US uses hasn't been completed yet, but Jaguar says you should get at least 240 miles from a full charge. As with every other EV we've tested, you can change the I-Pace's regenerative braking setting between high and low. Set to high, you can really drive it with just the accelerator pedal, as it will decelerate with a vigor when you lift your foot (up to 0.4G in fact). Active Sound Design. Set to Calm, the car's speakers will, in addition to playing music or the radio, add some active noise cancellation to increase the serenity of your journey. But you can also go a different route by setting the slider to Dynamic. This augments those normal EV sounds with a bit more oomph as you floor it. I'm hard pressed to describe the sound, which falls somewhere between a turbine and a growl. Sure, it's artificial, but it's also kind of awesome."   https://electrek.co/2018/06/14/jaguar-i-pace-review-the-240-mile-luxury-sport-utility-is-everything/ https://www.engadget.com/2018/06/14/2019-jaguar-ipace-review/ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/06/forget-about-that-tesla-the-jaguar-i-pace-is-the-most-compelling-ev-yet/     RENAULT INVEST IN EV PRODUCTION "Renault will invest more than 1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) to increase electric vehicle production capacity in France and add new models, the carmaker said on Thursday" according to Reuters: "The Zoe production line in Flins, west of Paris, will double its maximum output with the battery-powered subcompact’s next upgrade, the company said in a statement, and its northern Douai factory will tool up to build electric cars on a new architecture shared with Japanese affiliate Nissan." Renault Chairman and Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn: "“The acceleration of our investments in France for electric vehicles will increase the competitiveness and attractiveness of our French industrial sites”. The Cleon plant will triple its electric motor production capacity, while Maubeuge in eastern France receives tooling investment for the next Kangoo van including its electric version, Renault said.   http://europe.autonews.com/article/20180614/ANE/180619840/renault-will-invest-1-billion-euros-in-french-ev-production   RENAULT JOINS E-VIA FLEX-E FAST-CHARGING PROJECT Meanwhile, Electrans has more news on Renault as they've: "partnered with a number of European utilities and international car makers to join the E-VIA FLEX-E project, an initiative to expand high-power charging facilities across the continent." "The extra-urban network will comprise high-power stations with a capacity of between 150kW and 350kW, located along motorways and expressways. Alongside Renault and Enel, partners include EDF, Enedis and Verbund, Nissan and Ibil, a Spanish company which specialises in EV charging services." Autonews go on to say: "the E-VIA FLEX-E network will join that of the EVA+ (Electric Vehicles Arteries) project, also co-financed by the European Commission, which will support 180 fast charging points (Fast Recharge Plus) built over three years along Italian extra-urban corridors. The first 40 Fast stations have already been installed along the Rome-Milan route, among others. Italy alone expects to install 7,000 stations across the country by 2020, doubled to 14,000 this by 2022."   NISSAN COULD BRING EPOWER TO EUROPE One of the regional variations around the world is the ePower drivetrain Nissan use in Japan. It first appeared on the small minivan Nissan Note and in both 2017, and in Q1 of this year, it's Japan's best selling vehicle. In fact 70% of all Note's are driven by ePower. And now Nissan is contemplating bringing ePower to the European market. Nissan could just move forward with pure electrics, after all they have the World's most popular EV in the LEAF which have 300,000 on the roads. But all car makers have more than one eye on the impending European CO2 targets which come into force from 2020, and are based on the emissions of the entire fleet of cars you sell. But what is ePower? It's most similar the range extender tech in the BMW i3 which everyone understands but it's subtly different. The car comes with a small gas engine which can work in it's optimal rev range all the time so it's most efficient, and works as a generator to charge a battery. You never plug it in because there is no plug. “We can do a 48-volt mild hybrid, or we can do a plug-in hybrid, but what is most interesting right now is the success we have had with ePower technology,” Ponz Pandikuthira, vice president of product planning, told Automotive News Europe.“ePower in Japan makes more money than Note made before we launched ePower. It’s an economies-of-scale thing,” he said. “It’s a very favorable equation. That is why we need to invest in this technology and bring it to markets outside of Japan.” Nissan has said it will bring ePower to the U.S., likely as an option on higher-end vehicles. The technology also will form a big part of Nissan’s electrification of the Infiniti line-up in 2021. Even though you put dinosaurs into it and not electrons, it's up to 15% more efficient than a diesel under the new WLTP testing. I think this is very interesting technology, and could strike a chord with buyers as Toyota are doing the groundwork with their advertising campaigns for their soft hybrids, but telling buyers they sell electric cars which charge themselves. Perhaps as a stop gap, i can see this technology working. And the fact it's so much cheaper for car makers makes me think they might try to push it - as the battery always drives the wheel plus the battery is smaller. However saying that, and looking at the rapidly changing economics of batteries, i can see it being a technology which ends up not being needed. If the costs keep coming down, at cell level and battery pack level, pure EV's will be cheaper than any other form of propulsion.   EVGO UPGRADES MORE THAN 20 FAST CHARGERS EVgo say they're making the electric vehicle charging experience as easy as possible for all drivers, and today's news is that they have added additional capacity at 21 California stations, meaning EVgo's network can power even more EVs. All of their new chargers have dual-standards, both CHAdeMO and CCS Combo at each station. 10 in San Francisco, 5 in San Diego, and 6 in L.A. Cathy Zoi, CEO of EVgo says "The old world is changing, and EVgo is rapidly expanding our network of over 1000 public fast chargers across the US so that more Americans can choose a better way to drive." CCS Combo connectors are used by the Chevrolet Bolt, BMW i3, and numerous other existing and forthcoming EV models from North American, European, and Asian auto manufacturers. CHAdeMO connectors are commonly used by the Nissan LEAF, Kia Soul EV, and (with an adaptor) Tesla vehicles. The 21 station upgrades from EVgo throughout California now have the capabilities to charge EVs using either CHAdeMO or CCS Combo connectors at both chargers.

"The electrification of road transport will only result in a 10 per cent increase in demand for electricity by 2050, according to a government minister." and reported by UtilityWeek: "Richard Harrington told the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) select committee that National Grid had expressed confidence about the ability of the power networks to cope with the mass switch over, at the recent first meeting of the government’s electric vehicle (EV) task force." Richard Bruce director of energy, technology and innovation at the Department for Transport, said that the UK already had ‘one of the best public infrastructures in Europe’ for charging points with around 12,000 already installed, including 400 in the last 30 days alone.   COMMUNITY   From Ryan Hoffman: “The other day, you mentioned VW hadn't been fined in Europe for the emissions scandal. Hopefully, the link below works, looks like the Germans lowered the boom on Vee Dub. Forgive me if I'm incorrectly remembering what you said, I didn't go back to the show notes or re listen to the podcast. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-44474781. Also, there's a conference here in Portland, OR next week. I'm not affiliated with it in any way but perhaps a quick shout out to the listeners here in the Northwest could generate some interest as well as some reports back to you on the event. https://evroadmapconference.com/” “The public prosecutor issued an administrative order against Volkswagen on Wednesday, imposing the maximum penalty of €5m, and then €995m for the “disgorgement of economic benefits”. This refers to repayment of profits accrued through illegal or unethical means.” Can you help spread the word about electric cars?
