It's yet another EV this week, with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Genesis Electrified GV70. More than just a quirky name, this electric crossover boasts a fancy interior and an impressive drive, but not everything is rosy with this new electric vehicle as it transitions to a new charging standard. Hear all of Benjamin's concerns and Sami's rebuttals in this segment. Then Sami decides to give you all a quick refresher of the coolest stuff seen at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show, all revolving around some cool Lexus concepts. Vans? Wheelchairs? Sports Cars? YUP! Finally the show tackles some all-wheel-drive and safety questions sent to us from our listeners.

En esta primera entrega del viaje a China contamos nuestra experiencia conduciendo tres modelos asiáticos con tecnologías híbridas y enchufables: el OMODA 5 HEV, el OMODA 7 PHEV y el Jaecoo 5 HEV. Gracias a la prueba de consumo que realizamos, los resultados nos sorprendieron: eficiencia, autonomía y sensaciones de un segmento que empieza a pisar fuerte. Además, ponemos en contexto este tipo de modelos frente a la advertencia de Carlos Ghosn —ex­CEO de Renault y Nissan—, que considera que los coches chinos son una cuestión de “vida o muerte” para las marcas europeas. Hablaremos de qué puede aprender Europa de este avance, qué implicaciones tiene para la industria del automóvil y cómo esta experiencia en China podría anticipar lo que veremos en nuestro mercado. Un episodio apasionante para quienes quieran ver más allá del volante y entender la transformación global de la movilidad.

The show starts with the 2025 Lucid Air Sedans, which Benjamin thoroughly reviews. This EV sedan from a well-funded startup, promises lots of performance and range, but Benjamin has some thoughts to share about all that. And he wonders, why do we have to keep changing the way we turn cars on and off? Then Sami takes on the 2025 Acura ADX, a much needed subcompact crossover in the Japanese automakers lineup. Based around the Integra, Civic and (ugh) HR-V, the ADX features a punchy 1.5-turbo which may be able to help us gloss over the car's CVT. Sami has plenty of positives and negatives to discuss with the ADX, so be sure to listen to the whole segment to learn everything you need to know about this new crossover.

Panorama actual (España, 2025) 1) Políticas urbanas y Zonas de Bajas Emisiones (ZBE) • Marco general: las ciudades >50.000 hab. deben disponer de ZBE. • Implementación heterogénea: casos de re-etiquetado de áreas peatonales como ZBE (ej. Pamplona) frente a ciudades con múltiples ZBE (ej. Madrid). • Mensaje central: más ruido que restricciones reales; conviene leer la letra pequeña. • Crítica metodológica: la discriminación por etiqueta no siempre se alinea con la emisión real en uso; se sugiere control orientado a “grandes contaminadores” (pocos vehículos concentran gran parte de las emisiones). 2) Comportamiento de compra y “compra de etiqueta” • Cambio de patrón 2024–2025: más “ECO” que combustión pura en matriculaciones. • Percepción vs. realidad: compradores dicen no priorizar la etiqueta, aunque el mix lo desmiente (flotas y particulares buscan ventajas de movilidad/fiscales). • Riesgo regulatorio: revisión de etiquetas DGT genera inseguridad jurídica para quienes adquirieron un modelo por beneficios asociados. 3) Mix tecnológico del turismo (aprox. 2025, citado en el episodio) • Gasolina: ~37,2 % • Diésel: ~9,5 % • Eléctrico puro (BEV): ~5 % (crece, aunque aún marginal en mercado total) • Vehículos “con batería” (suma de híbridos, PHEV, etc.) sube si se agrupa, aunque no deben confundirse con BEV. 4) Vehículo comercial y pesado: diésel dominante • LCV/furgonetas: ~89,7 % diésel; eléctricos ~3,6 %. • Industriales/pesados: ~95,7 % diésel; eléctricos ~1,2 %. • Lectura: oferta, coste total de propiedad (TCO) y operativa consolidan el diésel en mercancías. 5) Motocicletas y coste de uso • Oferta eléctrica creciente en dos ruedas, aunque el coste sigue inclinando la balanza: • En usos urbanos típicos (125 cc), el €/km de combustión continúa siendo más bajo que el de alternativas eléctricas evaluadas, incluso sin considerar autonomía. 6) Infraestructura de recarga: avances, fricciones y “última milla” administrativa • Viajar en BEV ya es posible, con más planificación que en combustión. • Problemas persistentes: heterogeneidad de apps, pago sin tarjeta directa en muchos puntos, reliabilidad desigual. • Cuellos de botella: puntos instalados no activados por trámites, acometidas y conflictos entre actores energéticos. • Brecha de potencia: proliferan >50 kW; falta ultrarrápida (≥300–350 kW) para equiparar tiempos de viaje. • Obsolescencia regulatoria/técnica: estaciones “nuevas” pueden nacer desfasadas por retrasos en activación. 7) Economía de uso del eléctrico: condición necesaria • Condición casi sine qua non: disponer de punto de recarga doméstico (carga lenta nocturna + tarifa valle). • Umbral de amortización orientativo: alrededor de 100.000 km cargando en casa para igualar TCO frente a combustión. • Sin enchufe propio, la propuesta de valor del BEV se debilita para el usuario medio. 8) Adopción social y curva de aprendizaje • 50 % de conductores nunca ha conducido un BEV; ~70 % nunca ha usado un punto de recarga. • La primera recarga conlleva fricción de uso (QR, app, identificación, protocolos). • Recomendación: pedagogía práctica y demostraciones públicas “hands-on” para acortar la curva de adopción. 9) Movilidad real del ciudadano: inercia y tiempos puerta a puerta • 7 de cada 10 encuestados no cambiarán de forma relevante sus hábitos pese a nuevas restricciones. • El coche sigue aportando tiempos puerta a puerta competitivos frente a transporte público en numerosos corredores, especialmente fuera de radiales centrales. • Políticas de tarifa/forma de pago (p. ej., gratuito a mayores, pago en metálico) influyen materialmente en el trasvase modal. 10) Comunicación y datos • Llamada a rigurosidad informativa: evitar conclusiones precipitadas en incidentes con BEV; la investigación técnica requiere tiempos y métricas. • En ensayos, el par instantáneo y la gestión de aceleración del BEV obligan a modular la prueba para no sobrerrepresentar severidades. Cinco titulares accionables 1. España compra “ECO” para mantener libertad de movimiento, mientras el BEV puro aún no despega en términos de cuota efectiva. 2. Diésel es hegemónico en logística: sin cambios de oferta, precio y potencia de recarga, la transición será lenta. 3. La red de recarga mejora, aunque la ultrarrápida y la activación administrativa siguen siendo el talón de Aquiles. 4. Sin enchufe en casa, el BEV pierde sentido económico para el usuario medio; la amortización exige ~100.000 km con tarifa valle. 5. La adopción requiere pedagogía práctica: la mayoría no ha probado un BEV ni ha recargado nunca. Recomendaciones estratégicas (política pública y sector) • Regulación basada en emisiones en uso: priorizar detección y tratamiento del 2 % de “supercontaminadores” frente a prohibiciones indiscriminadas. • Etiquetas DGT: certidumbre: moratorias o regímenes transicionales que protejan expectativas de compradores previos. • Aceleración de activaciones: ventanilla única y SLA regulatorios para acometidas energéticas y licencias. • Criterios mínimos de recarga ultrarrápida en corredores TEN-T y radiales nacionales; interoperabilidad y pago directo con tarjeta por diseño. • Programas masivos de test-drive y recarga guiada en vía pública para reducir fricción de primer uso. • Transparencia de datos de red (operativos vs. instalados) y cuadros de mando abiertos para seguimiento ciudadano.

El mercado crece especialmente el eléctrico ️ Participan: Antonio R. Vaquerizo, ,Fernando Rivas, José Lagunar, Alex Moya, Rubén Gómez y Juanma García Cámara, Manager de Comunicación en Grupo Gamboa Automóviles. En este episodio elegimos además el Coche del Año de octubre 2025, que ha sido el Citroën C5 Aircross. El mercado automovilístico español crece un 16% en octubre Con cerca de 100.000 unidades matriculadas, el mes de octubre marca un fuerte impulso para el sector. Además, el 20% de esas ventas corresponde a eléctricos e híbridos enchufables, lo que confirma la consolidación del vehículo electrificado en España. Analizamos los datos oficiales de matriculaciones y qué factores están impulsando este crecimiento. Viaje a China: al volante de los Omoda y Jaecoo Nuestro equipo nos cuenta su experiencia única conduciendo en China los OMODA 5 HEV, Omoda 7 PHEV y Jaecoo 5 HEV. Una prueba de consumo que ha dejado resultados sorprendentes y que nos ayuda a entender mejor el avance tecnológico y la ambición de las marcas chinas en el mercado global. Seguridad Vial: ¿nos miente la DGT con las cifras? Rubén Gómez analiza los datos oficiales de siniestralidad vial de 2024. Mientras el informe provisional hablaba de 1.154 fallecidos, la cifra actualizada asciende a 1.785. Una diferencia de más de 600 personas que se explica por los distintos criterios de contabilización: los fallecidos en las primeras 24 horas frente a los registrados hasta 30 días después del siniestro. Desgranamos las cifras y reflexionamos sobre la transparencia en la comunicación de estos datos. Buzón del oyente Ignacio nos plantea una cuestión muy interesante: cuando se acaben las ayudas del Plan Moves, ¿podría el renting asequible —quizás con ventajas fiscales o subvencionado— ser la solución para mantener el impulso del coche eléctrico? Rubén lee el mensaje y el equipo debate posibles alternativas para un mercado que busca estabilidad más allá de las ayudas públicas. ⚙️ Crisis por Nexperia: la amenaza sobre los semiconductores europeos Comentamos cómo la disputa diplomática en torno a Nexperia podría poner en jaque el suministro de chips a los fabricantes europeos. Un conflicto que podría afectar de lleno a la producción y competitividad del sector automovilístico en Europa. Los costes laborales se disparan en Europa Analizamos el informe que alerta sobre el aumento del coste laboral por vehículo producido en Europa y cómo este fenómeno representa un desafío para mantener la competitividad frente a regiones como Asia o América. Un tema que preocupa a los fabricantes y que puede tener impacto directo en los precios finales. Viaje a China a conocer las nuevas marcas chinas Juanma nos relata su experiencia en China conociendo de primera mano a marcas emergentes como Lepas y Exlantix, que pronto desembarcarán en nuestro país. Nuevas propuestas tecnológicas y de diseño que buscan abrirse paso en el competitivo mercado europeo. Sección AutoScout24 con Alejandro Moya Alejandro nos presenta algunos de los descapotables más singulares que se pueden encontrar en el portal AutoScout24: desde el Range Rover Evoque Cabrio, pasando por el Alfa Romeo Spider, hasta joyas como el Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta o el curioso Kia Elan, un roadster nacido de la licencia del Lotus Elan M100. Una selección para soñar y descubrir rarezas del mercado de ocasión. Las curiosidades más curiosas con Rubén Gómez Rubén nos lleva hasta Italia para descubrir la historia de la rave ilegal en la antigua fábrica de Bugatti en Campogalliano, donde 5.000 personas ocuparon las instalaciones donde nació el mítico EB110. Repasamos la historia del modelo y cómo esta planta, símbolo del renacimiento de Bugatti en los 90, acabó siendo escenario de una fiesta multitudinaria. ️ Podcast TotalEnergies con Antonio Fernández: la viscosidad del aceite Antonio Fernández, de TotalEnergies, nos explica qué significa la viscosidad del aceite, cómo se mide y por qué es un factor clave para el rendimiento y la protección del motor.

What has over 600 horsepower, and can sprint from 0-60 MPH in under 4 seconds? BOTH of the cars the Unnamed Automotive Podcast are reviewing! This weeks show starts with Benjamin's take of the 2025 Chevrolet Blazer SS EV, which is super heavy, features a huge battery, and a weird WOW feature to blast off to high speeds. But what else does it deliver for car enthusiasts? And why does it kind of look like an Equinox EV? Then Sami drives the 2025 Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two, another high-horsepower machine, but this time focused on track capabilities, with some of the biggest brakes found on the market, carbon fibre wheels, and 626 horsepower. Plus some weird gimmicky vibrating seats with tons of PR drivel around them. Finally our hosts answer a car-buying question from a listener who is concerned about towing and hauling, which lets Benjamin get his calculator out for the ultimate advice section. Thanks for listening!

This weeks episode starts off with Sami's description and review of a strange little Jeep that he drove out in Europe: the Avenger EV. Limited with a small battery and front-wheel-drive, how does this compact car translate the Jeep design language to a new market? And what can we expect in North America, with the Avenger's design team penning the new Compass? Sami explains his thoughts, though you have to hang on to understand them all. Then Benjamin reviews the 2025 Subaru WRX tS, and can't stop bringing up his memories of the STI brand. While all kinds of sport compact newcomers keep popping up in the world the old WRX STI used to dominate, Subaru instead holds back, delivering a few upgrades for a lot of money. Why is Subaru limiting itself? Finally, our hosts tackle the complex issue of JLR's cybersecurity hack, which has cost the company about $2B in damages and lost sales. Yikes! Why isn't anyone else talking about this? Thanks for listening!

In October 2025's Recharge podcast, co-presenters Matt Fernley (Battery Materials Review) and Cormac O'Laoire (Electrios Energy) unpack takeaways from LME Week and what they mean for the battery value chain, including: The split views on lithium—bulls vs bears—and why inventories over the next 2–3 months will be decisive EV demand dynamics: China's scrappage scheme effects, BEV vs PHEV trends, and the surge in ROW sales driven by Chinese exports (BYD, new EU/LatAm plants) China's new export controls on advanced LFP and graphite, the West's exposure to Chinese anode supply, and the case for building an independent NMC-led supply chain in Europe/US The funding gap for battery raw materials projects and whether price floors/industrial policy can unlock capital NMC vs LFP in Western markets and the rise of mixed-chemistry packs Sodium-ion reality check—costs, performance, and supply-chain hurdles (hard carbon) vs LFP ExxonMobil's push into synthetic graphite via Superior Graphite and the potential to scale non-Chinese anode supply ESS going “gangbusters”: China's ~180+ GWh target, Middle East mega-projects, and implications for global cell availability and integrator business models

When Sami's away, only guest host Chad Kirchner has the gravitas to step into his shoes and keep the podcast vibes flowing. Chad and Benjamin talk about Benjamin's time in the 2025 Nissan Versa S, by far the most affordable new car on the market, and what you give up when shopping for a brand new vehicle at used vehicle prices. Then Chad spills the beans on the return of the Chevrolet Bolt, a longtime favorite of the podcast, and a car which seems likely to stick to its roots as a cheap EV.

Whats that you hear? Is it the sound of trails being hunted? Or roads being lit? No, you're right, its another episode of the Unnamed Automotive Podcast being beamed right to your devices! This weeks show starts off with our first review of the 2025 Toyota 4Runner TrailHunter, which Benjamin is towing with around town. Why is there yet another off-road oriented version of this off-road-oriented SUV? How does it differ from TRD-branded models? What's with the pricing? Benjamin breaks it down for you. Then Sami flies of the country to test out the 2026 Audi Q3 in Scotland. Armed with a new design, new infotainment system, new gear selector and new headlights, Sami is eager to talk about what makes this compact crossover so special, and what his reservations are about this whole class of small luxury vehicles. Finally, Benjamin finally reveals the latest addition to his garage. Thanks for listening!

The show starts with Benjamin's review of the 2025 Audi SQ6 e-tron, a performance minded electric crossover which seems to nail so many thing, but falls short of its rivals in one key area; can you guess where? Benjamin's review of the EV expands to a wider discussion of its rivals that you don't want to miss. Then Sami shares his thoughts on the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport, a rugged looking SUV with the same bones as the Pilot, but with fewer seats. While it looks tough and offers a few handy features that are useful off-road, Sami claims this isn't a true all-terrain SUV comparable to the likes of the Wrangler, 4Runner, Bronco and others. Then the guys wonder what's in the water at all the automaker HQs that make them so off-road-trim happy. The show finishes up by tackling a tough, Miata-minded question from a listener. Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today we're taking a look back at an intense week of EV launches and debuts at the IAA Mobility 2025 show in Munich. IAA this year showcased an unprecedented transition toward electrification across all manufacturers, with nearly every debut featuring some form of electric or hybrid propulsion.  Chinese manufacturers demonstrated particular strength in battery technology and pricing competitiveness, while established European brands focused on premium features and performance electrification. The show marked a clear inflection point where electric vehicles are no longer niche products but mainstream offerings across all segments and price points.

This week the Unnamed Automotive Podcast is so revved up it's putting Benjamin to sleep! Even while Benjamin does tons of PR for his upcoming book (www.modeluncomic.com) he has time to review a car for us. He jumps into the pilots seat of the 2025 BMW M2, which has been totally redesigned on a new platform and feels very close to its M3/M4 cousins. While boasting plenty of power, and a manual gearbox, Benjamin wonders if there's something missing in the M2's typically exciting sauce. Then Sami climbs into the 2026 Honda CR-V TrailSport Hybrid, and comes away unimpressed. Yet another off-roading cosplaying trim arrives on the street with minimal real upgrades to capability and it sends out hosts into disassociation mode. What does Honda think its doing? Listen to find out!

If you're after the latest reviews of some three-row crossovers of varying sizes, then you're listening to the right podcast! The Unnamed Automotive Podcast starts off with Benjamin's review of the 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander, loaded with three rows and a gas-powered motor, the Outlander begins to boil Sami's blood due to its lack of competitiveness in a field full of excellent options. Benjamin has more than a few nice things to say about the Outlander, but none of them are about the barely-useable third row. Then Sami chimes in about his plug-in experience with the 2025.5 Volvo XC90. Loaded with 455 ponies and 30-ish miles of range, the XC90 is sure to be a hit. But then Sami's attention turns to the Swedish automakers attempts at designing an infotainment system, and things fall apart a bit. While not as bad as the EX90, the XC90 has a few glitches of its own that make it hard to recommend. Then it's time for a classic Nissan Pathfinder cow adventure. Thanks for listening!

Our hosts have plenty of energy and stuff to talk about following Benjamin's road-trip vacation. After Benjamin's discussion of hot dog prices and charitable clowns, this weeks show starts off with a review of the 2026 BMW iX xDrive60. With over 350 miles of range on tap, this EV should have been the perfect chariot for a road trip, but Benjamin did have a few issues along his trip. Additionally, the guys go into a deep discussion about carbon fiber, clamshell hoods, and other premium EVs. Then Sami goes nuts over news following this year's Monterey Car Week and Pebble Beach Concours. From Lexus to Infiniti to Nissan and BMW, there's all kinds of fun news to pour over, and laugh about.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1133: Cox Automotive Chief Economist Jonathan Smoke joins Paul to talk tariffs, pent-up demand, and why Q3 might be best experienced with a little Abba. It's a data-rich conversation with serious implications for dealers navigating policy shifts, EV adoption, and consumer behavior.ASOTU's coverage of the 45th Annual NAMAD Annual Meeting is brought to you by Connected Dealer Services.Jonathan Smoke, Chief Economist at Cox Automotive, offers a deep dive into today's economic headwinds and consumer sentiment:Tariffs Echo the 1930s: Jonathan compares today's tariffs to policies that sparked the Great Depression, but says their current impact is more of a "roller coaster" than a collapse.Stabilization Surprises: Despite the policy shakeups, consumer spending has rebounded this summer. July auto sales were stronger than expected and August showed continued momentum.7 Million Buyers Still Waiting: Pent-up demand remains real. First-party data from AutoTrader, KBB, and dealer websites shows strong shopping interest, even among buyers still hunting for affordable payments.Best Time in 4 Years to Buy (If You Have Credit): Incentives, leasing deals, and EV discounts make this a prime moment for well-qualified buyers—especially for electrified vehicles.EV Adoption Is Not Slowing Down: July marked the highest market share ever for EVs in the U.S. at 9.1%. EVs are now priced lower than ICE vehicles, and the replacement cycle is kicking in.Electrification Is Inevitable: Jonathan predicts most multi-car households will have at least one EV.

Benjamin fires up the show with his take on the 2026 Cadillac Vistiq, an electric three-row crossover that seems to be replacing Caddy;s own XT6. With 102 kWh of battery on tap, and over 600 hp, this is a big player in the world of EVs, but what else makes it stand out? While the world of three-row EVs is relatively slim, Benjamin suggests that the Vistiq might have a chance to be the best in its class, if only GM could sort out some small teething issues first. Then the show turns towards plug-in hybrids, as Benjamin and Sami quickly discuss the 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV. Formerly crowned as car of the year, the guys pinpoint what makes this Prius special compared to previous ones, and whether this plug-in variant is one of the best commuter cars on the market. Thanks for listening!

This week, the Unnamed Automotive Podcast jams out with some subcompact crossovers. The show starts with Sami's review of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, a perfectly fine EV that is a bit overshadowed by its market. With the competition offering better value, Sami and Benjamin argue that a used Hyundai Kona Electric is the smart choice for EV shoppers on a tight budget. Then the guys turn their focus to the 2026 Honda HR-V. Using Sami's previous experience as background information on his tester, Benjamin starts off thinking the Honda subcompact is pretty solid, but after spending more time with it, he wonders if there's a worse choice in the segment. Thanks for listening!

Our hosts at the Unnamed Automotive Podcast are perfectly synchronized (unlike the 3rd gear in Sami's car) which means they can come to this weeks show to talk about their vastly different experiences in the same car. Up for review is the 2025 Cadillac Optiq, which both Benjamin and Sami had the pleasure of testing out, and both of them have plenty to say about. Sami seems charmed by its more mainstream roots, while Benjamin thinks the Optiq is the embodiment of GM's recent push for EVs. With plenty of range and space, there's a lot to like about the Optiq, but there are a few oddities too, including its class-exclusive hands-free driving mode too, which wasn't working so smoothly with one of our hosts. Then the guys talk about T-Tops, upcoming EVs and track cars, all questions asked by our fantastic listeners.

Find out what led him to this Japanese SUV, and what makes it so interesting (hint, it has something to do with its transmission!) Then Benjamin shares how his latest trip to Canadian Tire Motorsports Park went as he towed his way to the track in a Silverado HD 2500. Hear answers to questions like "did it have adaptive cruise control?" and "how much worse was the fuel consumption while towing?" and "do you need all that truck to tow a car?" Thanks for listening!
