Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Allianz angelt sich französischen SachbestandIm Januar 2024 kündigte der Online-Versicherer Allianz Direct die Übernahme des französischen Hausratversicherungsgeschäfts von Luko an. Dieser Schritt wurde am 1. Februar 2024 vollzogen. Nach Genehmigung durch die deutschen und französischen Aufsichtsbehörden wurden am 29. Juli 2024 auch alle bestehenden Verträge der Luko Insurance AG auf die französische Niederlassung der Allianz Direct Versicherungs-AG übertragen. Ex-BaFin-Aufseher wechselt zur GeneraliDer ehemalige BaFin-Exekutivdirektor Frank Grund wechselt in die Aufsichtsgremien der Generali. Beim italienischen Versicherer soll Grund die Aufsichtsräte der Holding, des Lebens- sowie des Sachversicherers einziehen. Darüber berichtet das Fachportal "Versicherungsmonitor". Continentale bekommt neuen VorstandsvorsitzendenDr. Gerhard Schmitz wird zum 1. August 2024 neuer Vorstandsvorsitzender im Continentale Versicherungsverbund. Die Aufsichtsräte haben den Diplom-Ökonomen zum Nachfolger von Dr. Christoph Helmich ernannt, der nach neun Jahren als Vorstandsvorsitzender am 31. Juli 2024 in den Ruhestand geht. Neu ins Vorstandsteam rückt der bisherige Leiter des Rechnungswesens, Marcus Lauer. Nürnberger streicht GewinnprognoseDie Nürnberger Beteiligungs-AG passt die Prognose für das Konzernergebnis 2024 an. Ursprünglich war der Versicherer von einem Gewinn in der Bandbreite von 40 bis 50 Millionen Euro ausgegangen. Aufgrund der höheren Aufwendungen in der Schadenversicherung, die insbesondere durch Elementar- und Großschäden sowie die anhaltende Inflation vor allem in der Kfz-Versicherung bedingt werden, rechnet die Nürnberger Beteiligungs-AG nunmehr mit einem ausgeglichenen Konzernergebnis im Jahr 2024. Für das erste Halbjahr zeichnet sich ein klar negatives Ergebnis ab. MLP steigert Zahlen deutlichAuf Basis vorläufiger Geschäftszahlen für das zweite Quartal 2024 erzielte der MLP Konzern ein vorläufiges Ergebnis vor Zinsen und Steuern (EBIT) von rund 12 Millionen Euro. Dieser Wert liegt deutlich über dem Vergleichswert des Vorjahres von 5,0 Millionen Euro. Das vorläufige EBIT für das erste Halbjahr 2024 beläuft sich damit auf rund 49 Millionen Euro. Im Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahres waren es: 37,4 Millionen Euro. Nach der erfolgreichen Entwicklung im ersten Halbjahr 2024 geht MLP nun davon aus, die obere Hälfte der für das Gesamtjahr prognostizierten EBIT-Spanne von 75 bis 85 Millionen Euro zu erreichen. LVM steigt beim VfL Bochum aufDie LVM Versicherung wird ein neuer Premium Partner beim VfL Bochum 1848. Der Kontrakt gelt bis 2027 und sei ligaunabhängig. Bereits seit einigen Jahren ist eine Werbegemeinschaft von acht LVM-Versicherungsagenturen aus dem Einzugsbereich des Revierklubs beim Verein aktiv. Durch die erweiterte Partnerschaft solle die Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Sachversicherung verstärkt werden.

Matterport Becomes Autodesk Premium Partner, Deepening Relationship on Digital Twin Collaboration For Design & Construction As a Premium Partner, Matterport will gain access to Autodesk's extensive go-to-market resources to nurture the development and enhancement of new and existing integrations SUNNYVALE, California, Thursday, October 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR), the leading digital twin platform to access, understand, and utilize properties, today announced its membership as an Autodesk Construction Cloud® Premium Partner, helping bring Matterport's 4K digital twins to even more construction professionals. Autodesk Construction Cloud is a portfolio of software services that combines advanced technology, a builders network and predictive insights for construction teams. Matterport has been part of the Autodesk Construction Cloud partner ecosystem since 2020, when it first introduced the Matterport Partner Card within BIM 360®. Since then, Matterport has introduced several new add-ons, features, and integrations to support design and construction professionals across their Autodesk® and Autodesk Construction Cloud workflows, becoming one of the most popular integrations available in the Autodesk App Store and Partner Card library. Digital twins allow teams to collaborate virtually within the visual context of a job site. With a clear view of site conditions, teams can identify and communicate potential issues earlier to keep projects on time and on budget. Today, Matterport users can collaborate across several Autodesk workflows, including: 1. Autodesk® Docs: Create, view, and collaborate on Issues directly within a Matterport digital twin of a project, or generate specific file types (.rvt, .ifc, .dwg, .xyz) from models to share with stakeholders. 2. Autodesk® Build: Easily create, assign, and track RFIs connected to a Matterport digital twin in Autodesk Build to pinpoint site problems and ensure project teams are on the same page. 3. Matterport Partner Card: Add the Matterport Partner Card to your Autodesk Build Insights or BIM 360 Project Home dashboards to provide stakeholders with visual site context alongside essential project data. 4. Autodesk® Revit® Plugin: Streamline workflows by directly importing Matterport point cloud files (.XYZ and .E57) and BIM files (.rvt, .ifc) into Revit to kickstart 3D model creation. As a Premium Partner, Matterport will collaborate closely with Autodesk on new APIs that help improve capabilities available to customers and on extensive go-to-market activities to help customers discover and take advantage of that value. “Since Matterport began its journey into the design and construction space, Autodesk has been an invaluable partner in integrating the strengths of our immersive platform with Autodesk's decades of expertise,” said Jay Remley, Chief Revenue Officer, Matterport. “We've been blown away by the positive reaction to our latest integration with Autodesk Construction Cloud, and as a Premium Partner, look forward to delivering even deeper integrations that can help anyone in the design and construction phases keep their projects moving, from wherever they are.” “Digital twins help the construction industry significantly address collaboration issues and information silos,” said James Cook, director – industry & technology partnerships at Autodesk Construction Solutions. “Given that Matterport's technology helps democratize the reality capture, creation, and use of 3D digital twins, we're enthusiastic about how our partnership has grown. Matterport's addition as a Premium Partner translates into a lot of value for our mutual customers.” Matterport's integrations are available today in the Autodesk App Store for all supported regions.

Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Allianz Direct expandiert nach Frankreich Der Online-Versicherer Allianz Direct gründet eine Niederlassung in Frankreich und betritt damit seinen fünften Markt innerhalb von vier Jahren. Ab 2024 werden zunächst Reiseversicherungen den französischen Kunden angeboten, weitere Produkte wie etwa Hausrat- und Haftpflicht sowie Kfz-Versicherung sollen folgen. Im Zuge des Markteintritts übernimmt Fanny Limare-Wolf als CEO Allianz Direct Frankreich die Leitung der französischen Niederlassung; sie berichtet in dieser Funktion an Philipp Kroetz. Bewusstsein für zusätzliche Arbeitskraftabsicherung wächst Fast neun von zehn Bundesbürgern zwischen 14 und 45 Jahren (86 Prozent) ist klar, dass sie zusätzlich vorsorgen müssen, um bei einem möglichen Verlust ihrer Arbeitskraft durch einen Unfall oder eine Krankheit finanziell abgesichert zu sein. 2020 waren es noch 73 Prozent. Überdies glauben über die Hälfte (54 Prozent) an staatliche Leistungen bei Berufsunfähigkeit. Das zeigt eine repräsentative Studie des Versorgungswerks MetallRente zum Thema Arbeitskraftabsicherung. Rekordauszahlungen in der Lebensversicherung Die in Deutschland tätigen Lebensversicherer, Pensionskassen und Pensionsfonds haben im vergangenen Jahr so viel ausgezahlt wie noch nie zuvor. „Die an unsere Kundinnen und Kunden ausgereichten Leistungen stiegen gegenüber 2021 um 5,4 Prozent auf den Rekordwert von 91,2 Milliarden Euro“, sagt der Hauptgeschäftsführer des GDV, Jörg Asmussen. Alte Leipziger jetzt auch in der Bestandsverwaltung auf der Xempus-Plattform Die Alte Leipziger Lebensversicherung a. G. und Xempus bauen ihre bestehende Partnerschaft weiter aus. Vermittlerinnen und Vermittler können ab sofort auch die Verträge der Alte Leipziger in der betrieblichen Altersversorgung digital über die Xempus-Plattform verwalten. DFV bleibt Eintracht Frankfurt treu Die DFV Deutsche Familienversicherung AG hat die Partnerschaft mit der Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG um drei Jahre verlängert. Der Versicherer ist seit Beginn der Saison 2011/2012 Sponsor von Eintracht Frankfurt, u. a. als Versicherungspartner und Strategischer Partner (vormals Premium-Partner). Die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit wird durch den neu abgeschlossenen Vertrag bis ins Jahr 2026 weitergeführt und in den Bereichen des Vereins und der Versicherungsangebote für Mitglieder intensiviert. Zurich erleichtert betriebliche Absicherung von Berufs- und Erwerbsunfähigkeitsrisiken Um Erwerbstätigen den Zugang zur wichtigen betrieblichen Altersversorgung zu erleichtern, hat die Zurich Gruppe Deutschland die Annahmerichtlinien für den Abschluss von Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeitsversicherungen im Kollektivgeschäft ab zehn Mitarbeitern deutlich überarbeitet. So wurden beispielsweise Risiko- und Gesundheitsfragen deutlich reduziert und Körpergröße, Gewicht und Hobby werden im Rahmen der Antragstellung nicht berücksichtigt.

Drei Jahre besteht bisher das Handelsformat Absolute Run von Sport 2000. Im Podcast mit SAZsport erklärt Retailmanager Christoph Görner, welchen Mehrwert dieses bietet. Und Händler Silvio Suderow spricht über seine Erfahrungen. Wenn ein Markt boomt so wie Running, dann bedeutet das keineswegs, dass er für die stationären Fachhändler einfacher zu bespielen wäre. Viele Trittbrettfahrer springen auf den Zug auf, der Online-Handel wächst ohnehin stark, und die Hersteller mischen dort ja auch selbst mit. Es gilt, sich vom Wettbewerb abzuheben. So hat Sport 2000 vor drei Jahren das stationäre Format Absolute an den Start gebracht – zuerst im Teamsport, dann ein halbes Jahr später im Running. Silvio Suderow, mit dem Laufladen Bonn seit 2014 eigentlich schon erfolgreich, wagte dieses Experiment – und bereut dies bis heute nicht. Im Podcast mit SAZsport erklärt Christoph Görner, Retailmanager von Sport 2000, ausführlich, welche Mehrwert Absolute Run für die Händler bietet. Und Silvio Suderow spricht unter anderem darüber, wie groß die Abhängigkeit von den Lieferanten wird. Denn seine Premium-Partner haben in das neue Geschäft mit einer nicht unerheblichen Summe investiert. Wie beide über den Wegfall von Runners Point denken und warum sie Preiserhöhungen bei Laufschuhen für sinnvoll und nötig halten, gibt's auch gleich in der neuen Folge. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Die Provisionsergebnisse steigen! Das ist der (rosa-)rote Faden, der sich durch die 2021er-Zahlen praktisch sämtlicher retailfokussierter Banken hierzulande zieht, von der ING Diba bis zur deutschen Santander, von der großen Sparkasse bis zur kleinen Volksbank. Indes: Was hiervon ist Wertpapier-Boom und was ist Kontoführung? Beziehungsweise: Ist überhaupt irgendwas hiervon (also: von den Ertragszuwächsen) Kontoführung? Rückblende: Seit Mitte der 2010er-Jahre steigen oder jedenfalls stiegen die Kontoführungs-Gebühren hierzulande kontinuierlich an. Laut Statistischem Bundesamt ging allein der Preis fürs Girokonto zwischen 2015 und 2021 um durchschnittlich 39% in die Höhe. Zum allgemeinen Preisauftrieb trugen neue Premium-Modelle (etwa: "N26 Metal") ebenso bei wie sogenannte Mehrwert-Konten; die Proteste der Kunden hielten sich in Grenzen. Dann allerdings erließ der Bundesgerichtshof im vergangenen April sein Urteil zur "Zustimmungsfiktion". Und seitdem? Ist eine eigentlich simple Kalkulation (höhere Preises = höhere Erträge) zu einer Rechnung mit etlichen Unbekannten mutiert. Wenn ich meinen Kunden jetzt bei jeder Preiserhöhung um sein Einverständnis bitten muss – wie stellen ich das an? Rechtlich, argumentativ und kommunikativ? Und wie kann ich auch die Kunden überzeugen, die ihre Zustimmung (erst einmal) verweigern)? Fest jedenfalls steht: Die Preismacht, wie sie Banken und Sparkassen bis vor einem Jahr gegenüber ihren Kunden hatten, ist dahin. Neue Pricing-Strategien müssen her. Doch wie sehen diese Strategien aus? Darüber haben wir für unseren heutigen Partner-Podcast mit einem ausgewiesenen Fachmann auf diesem Gebiet gesprochen, nämlich Peter Klenk von unserem Premium-Partner zeb.  === Fragen und Feedback zum Podcast: redaktion@finanz-szene.de oder (auch anonym) über Threema: TKUYV5Z6 Interessiert am Sponsoring unseres Podcasts?

The Stuttgart-based automaker has just teased the EV SUV, prototypes of which are now heading outside Porsche’s proving grounds for the first time. " says Motor1: "The available photos show heavily camouflaged test cars that are heading towards Germany's public road network for real-world tests.  With the new teaser images, Porsche also reaffirmed the Macan EV will be launched on the market in 2023 and will become the brand’s first model to be underpinned by the PPE electric vehicle architecture."   https://www.motor1.com/news/506375/porsche-macan-ev-teased/   CHINA APPROVES NATIONAL EV BATTERY SWAP STANDARD "the country has just approved the first official swappable EV battery standard and safety guidelines, which are set to go into effect on Nov. 1, CNEVPost reported Monday. according to a statement made by Xin Guobin, vice minister of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are a few reasons, but the biggest are reduced cost to vehicle buyers, cheaper charging by charging during off-peak hours and customers being able to choose the size of battery they need on a given day." writes CNET.com: "Companies like NIO and BAIC have advanced the new battery swap standard, but it's Geely that seems to be sprinting ahead, based on a recent YouTube video showing off its 1-minute automated battery swapping station."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/china-ev-swappable-battery-standards-approved/   HARLEY-DAVIDSON IS TURNING LIVEWIRE INTO ITS OWN BRAND "A couple years ago, Harley-Davidson built its first electric motorcycle, the LiveWire, to largely positive reviews. Since we now live in a world created by constant brand consultant input, however, the company has announced they are branching out LiveWire into an entire separate electric motorcycle sub-brand" says Gear Patrol: "Harley-Davidson says LiveWire will "draw on its DNA as an agile disruptor from the lineage of Harley-Davidson," whatever that means. Per Harley, the new LiveWire entity will have a virtual headquarters paired with "initial hubs" in Silicon Valley and Harley-Davidson's home, Milwaukee. Livewire will launch its first new branded electric motorcycle on July 8th. LiveWire will target new buyers in a younger urban market. That's a substantially different buyer from the people who purchase Harley-Davidson's bread-and-butter touring bikes."   https://www.gearpatrol.com/cars/motorcycles/a36395359/harley-davidson-livewire-brand/   SUBARU’S FIRST ELECTRIC VEHICLE IS CALLED THE SOLTERRA "For Subaru diehards holding out for an electric vehicle, the wait is almost over. The Japanese automaker just announced new details about its first-ever EV, which is set to hit the streets in 2022. Subaru will call its first EV the Solterra, a fitting name for a brand synonymous with outdoor adventures and you know, the sun and the Earth. Also fittingly, Subaru’s first full-fledged EV will be an SUV that ships with the manufacturer’s well-regarded all-wheel-drive capabilities." writes Techcrunch: "The Solterra is built on a new platform the company is developing in partnership with Toyota, which the latter company will use for its impossibly named bZ4X crossover. Subaru has only released two teaser images so far, but given that the new SUV will share DNA with the Toyota bZ4X, Subaru’s offering will likely look like a toned-down, less aggressively styled version of Toyota’s forthcoming futuristic electric crossover."   https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/11/subaru-solterra-ev-2022/   ELECTRIC SEVEN DUE IN 2023 AS FIRST CATERHAM EV "Caterham is working to safeguard the future of the Seven in the face of looming homologation and legislative hurdles – and is set to launch its landmark first EV in the coming years. the priority is to ensure that any electric version of the diminutive two-seater “rides and handles like a Caterham”." syas Autocar: "the ‘EV Seven’ will be developed with a focus on keeping weight down in an effort to preserve the model’s trademark agility and pace. The suspension geometry and other aspects of the chassis will be recalibrated to mitigate the extra heft of the battery and electric motors, for example, and it will go without the weighty associated systems that are common on mainstream EVs, such as regenerative braking. a racing version would need to be equipped with rapid charging or an “interchangeable battery” but the road car – which, like the current Seven, will be geared towards occasional use – is less likely to receive these technologies."   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/electric-seven-due-2023-first-caterham-ev   STAR-STUDDED LINE-UP TO CONTEST FIA RX2E DEMO A legendary line-up of rallycross talent will go head-to-head during a one-off FIA RX2e Championship demonstration competition at the upcoming RallyX Nordic meeting at Höljes. The event will provide an opportunity to see the cutting-edge electric vehicles – which are set to face off in the first-ever FIA electric rallycross championship this season – race wheel-to-wheel. Multiple World Rally Champion Marcus Grönholm will join the likes of World Rallycross title-winners Johan Kristoffersson and Timmy Hansen in the inaugural Superteam Challenge while RX2e test driver Oliver Eriksson, who is a double RX2 champion and 2020 RallyX Nordic Supercar title-winner, is also in the mix. RX Lites title-winners Kevin Hansen and Kevin Eriksson are also in the talent pool while World RX race winners Andreas Bakkerud and Sebastian Eriksson complete the line-up of participating drivers. The electric vehicles, which generate 250kW (335bhp) of power and up to 510Nm torque, will be showcased in four heats and two finals as the world’s best off-road racers do battle at Höljes.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   A recent survey – which I highly questioned and disagreed with – claimed 1 in 5 EV owners went back to piston power.  I have never heard anything like a 20% rate of EV drivers being unhappy with electric.

WEDNESDAY   FORD'S FORTHCOMING BATTERY-ELECTRIC TRUCK TO BE CALLED 'F-150 LIGHTNING' On Twitter @mrlevine Mike Levine, Ford North America Product Communications manager: "BAM! Get ready for the all-electric, all-new Ford F-150 Lightning to be revealed on May 19 at 930 pm ET. ime to take electric and turn it into Lightning. Quicker than the original F-150 SVT Lightning yet able to work as hard as today’s trucks. Awesome!"   "Ford Motor Co.'s battery-electric version of its best-selling F-150 pickup truck is coming — and now it has a name. The Blue Oval revealed Monday that the truck will be dubbed "F-150 Lightning." The vehicle itself will be unveiled May 19 via a livestreamed event from Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn." says The Detroit News: "F-150 Lightning is part of Ford's initial portfolio of electric vehicles that includes the Mustang Mach-E, which launched at the end of last year, and the forthcoming electric version of the Transit van."   https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/ford/2021/05/10/ford-announces-name-reveal-date-upcoming-battery-electric-f-150/5020845001/   MERCEDES-BENZ CONCEPT EQT "The Mercedes-Benz Concept EQT previews the brand’s new T-Class MPV, the electric version of which will be the ninth model from its EQ sub-brand" says Autocar today: "Set to rival the Volkswagen Caddy, Citroen Berlingo and Vauxhall Combo when UK sales get underway in 2022, the new model has been developed in partnership with Renault; the T-Class is twinned with the third-generation Kangoo, while the EQT is a sister model to the recently announced Kangoo E-Tech Electric. Mercedes-Benz’s Van division is planned to offer the choice of either a standard wheelbase in combination with a five-seat layout or, as previewed by the Concept EQT, an extended wheelbase with a seven-seat layout. Entry to the front is via front-hinged doors, while rear access is via a set of sliding doors, electronically operated on the concept but set to be manual on the production version."   101hp and 45kWh battery.   So: EQC, EQV, EQA, EQS and EQB, EQE, EQE SUV and EQS SUV. .   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-benz-concept-eqt-previews-electric-t-class   UK’S LARGEST EV CHARGING HUB SET TO ELECTRIFY BRENT CROSS The 236-bay hub will be installed in Brent Cross Shopping Centre car park. The chargers, which will be operated and maintained by Franklin Energy on the LiFe Network, will be supplied by EVBox and installed over a number of phases. The first phase, which is due to complete later this year, will see the installation of 50 fast charging points (22kW AC) and two ultra-rapid charging points (350 kW DC)   The fast chargers take 1-2 hours to fully charge a car battery, providing ample time for customers to enjoy the many retail and leisure offerings available at Brent Cross and complements the average time taken for a visit, which, prior to the pandemic, averaged at 95 minutes.(1)   https://franklinenergy.co.uk/uks-largest-ev-charging-hub-set-to-electrify-brent-cross/   RENAULT CONSIDERS INTRODUCING BATTERY-SWAPPING IN ITS ELECTRIC CARS "Renault is considering introducing a battery-swapping capability in its electric cars, potentially becoming the first big carmaker to embrace the technology." reports the Financial Times today: "Chief executive Luca de Meo told the Financial Times’ Future of the Car Summit on Tuesday he is assessing plans to adopt the technology, which would significantly cut waiting times at recharging stations. The battery-swapping technology also allows manufacturers to decouple the cost of batteries from new electric vehicles, preventing drivers from being concerned about depreciating battery capacity or value."   Read more here: https://www.ft.com/content/cac5c438-900a-46ee-9564-43aa905db4b6   AUDI BOSS THINKS ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL BE HALF OF THE MARKET BY 2030 "Since, 2018, Audi has introduced, the e-tron SUV, the e-tron Sportback, sportier “S” variants of both, the e-tron GT, the Q4 e-tron, Q4 e-tron Sportback, and the all-new A6 e-tron Concept. Audi has developed more new EVs in the past couple of years than Tesla has developed in its entire existence." points out the website Quattrodaily - so, they'll be a little biased!: "According Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, electric vehicles will make up half of the automotive market by 2030. In fact, Duesmann sees such a massive shift in the demand for electric vehicles that, as long as the infrastructure can support it, he doesn’t see a reason why any customer would want internal combustion if electric vehicles are available."   https://www.quattrodaily.com/audi-boss-thinks-electric-vehicles-will-be-half-of-the-market-by-2030/   FRANCE WRITES-OFF CHADEMO STANDARD IN NEW LEGISLATION "The end of the CHAdeMO fast-charging standard is on the horizon in France. While a 2017-decree made CHAdeMO mandatory for DC-charging stations alongside CCS and Type 2 by the end of 2024, the government has now revised its plans." writes electrive: "The decree, published in its revised form earlier this month, ends the requirement to implement the Japanese standard. From now on, only CCS for DC charging and Type 2 for AC charging (22 kW) is considered mandatory for newly installed and replaced fast-charging stations in France. The French decree further stresses the requirement of interoperability and introduces obligations in terms of quality of service. CPOs and networks must make their commitments public, for example, “report periodically” on the quality levels achieved."   https://www.electrive.com/2021/05/10/france-writes-off-chademo-standard-in-new-legislation/   ARE ELECTRIC FIRE TRUCKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE? "However, it wasn’t until recently that innovators began to apply electric technology to emergency vehicles. Now, the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is showing off North America’s first electric fire engine from Austria-based Rosenbauer Group." says Clean Fleet Report: "However, the vehicle isn’t fully electric. It’s a series plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt. Volvo Penta, which has created electric powertrains for a variety of applications, will power the Revolutionary Technology fire truck. The electric drive unit is based on one use in terminal tractors. To test durability, Rosenbauer will also test three more trucks in Berlin, Amsterdam and Dubai.

It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   EVERY OTHER EV BRAND SHOWED UP TO ELON MUSK’S SNL "At least five of Tesla’s competitors bought ad time during Saturday Night Live hosted by Elon Musk, using the billionaire’s appearance to sell their own. non-Tesla EVs." say The Verge: "Commercials for the Audi E-tron, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Volkswagen ID 4, and Lucid Air all aired within the first 30 minutes of SNL. Lucid Motors, a company founded by Peter Rawlinson, the former head engineer of the Tesla Model S who frequently clashes with Musk, teased its commercial earlier in the week. It was its debut commercial for the Lucid Air, a claimed 500-mile EV due later this year.”   https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/9/22426978/elon-musk-snl-electric-vehicle-commercials-tesla-saturday-night-live   Also: "Elon Musk might be getting a windfall of publicity through his opportunity to host Saturday Night Live this weekend, but one of his competitors is also using the event as a launching pad for its own messaging." write AdWeek today: "Sierra Space, a spinoff of aerospace firm Sierra Nevada Corp., has purchased 30- and 15-second preroll ads that will run on YouTube clips of Musk’s SNL content—while also targeting clips with related content like “Elon” or “Musk.”"   https://www.adweek.com/programmatic/how-sierra-space-a-rival-of-elon-musks-spacex-built-an-ad-strategy-around-his-snl-debut/   HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 ELECTRIC HATCH STARTS AT JUST UNDER £37,000 "Hyundai’s new Ioniq 5 electric hatchback will cost just under £37,000 when it goes on sale in the UK later this year. Available in a choice of two battery capacities and offered in rear- and four-wheel drive guises, the model will also come with the three basic trim levels, plus a high-end launch edition." reports Motor1: "The mechanical options are fairly simple, with the cheapest models boasting a 58 kWh battery and an electric motor that feeds power to the rear wheels. That provides a range of up to 240 miles. Opting for that larger pack extends the range to up to 300 miles, but that will be slightly limited if you opt for the four-wheel drive variants. Those models still get a respectable 287-mile range, but they offer vastly improved performance. Where the 58 kWh RWD models will get from 0-62 mph in 8.5 seconds thanks to their 168 bhp motors, the 73 kWh RWD cars offer 215 bhp – enough to cut that time by more than a second. But the 73 kWh AWD cars are even faster, with 300 bhp taking them from 0-62 mph in 5.2 seconds. Another appealing option is the Vehicle 2 Load pack, which allows customers to use the car’s battery to charge any electric devices, supplying up to 3.6 kW of power."   I still think the party trick is 10-80% charging in 18 minutes.   https://uk.motor1.com/news/506127/hyundai-ioniq-5-uk-pricing/   SPAIN POURS BILLIONS INTO LANDING EUROPEAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE PRODUCTION "Spain is moving aggressively to land new battery and electric vehicle plants, using billions of European Union pandemic relief funds to avoid being left behind as the global auto sector undertakes the biggest technology transformation in a century." reports Autoblog: "As Europe's second largest car-producing nation behind Germany, and with the automotive sector accounting for 10% of its economy, Spain has a lot to lose as automakers overhaul supply chains and manufacturing for electric vehicles. Germany and number three European producer France are already pouring funds into battery plants, supporting their respective national champion automakers, and both Volkswagen and Renaultare investing heavily in EVs on their home turf. Of the €70 billion to be sent from Brussels in the form of grants, the Spanish government plans to spend 13 billion on sustainable mobility through 2023."   https://www.autoblog.com/2021/05/09/spanish-ev-production/   PORSCHE MACAN EV WILL ARRIVE WITH MORE RANGE THAN TAYCAN "Porsche's best-selling model will have an electric version arriving in 2023, and the company is currently testing prototypes. It'll ride on a new electric platform, have significantly more range than the Taycan electric sedan" says Car & Driver: "The electric Macan will be built on VW Group's Premium Platform Electric (PPE) electric architecture that will be used on a range of future Audi and Porsche products.  The EV will borrow the Taycan's 800-volt architecture, which allows for fast charging at a maximum of 270 kilowatts, and like the Taycan, Porsche is planning that the electric Macan will have two battery sizes available. Porsche claims that the Macan EV will have "significantly" more range than the current Taycan. That means it should boast more than the 2021 Taycan 4S model's 227 miles of EPA-estimated range, which is currently the highest in the lineup."   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36355610/porsche-macan-electric-prototype-revealed/   All-electric Porsche Taycan new registrations ahead of the Cayenne SUV in domestic Germany in April. Only second to the 911.   https://twitter.com/auto_schmidt/status/1391327681896136712   RIVIAN TELLS US MORE ABOUT R1T SIZE & STORAGE "Rivian says it had the challenge of giving buyers enough room to comfortably seat five people and have room for their cargo/luggage but also have a truck that fits well in the garage if need be. Landing a little smaller than the F-150/Silverado, combined with better packaging because it’s an EV, gives us that." says ClaenTechnica. And on the Frunk: "The company says it fits “a half-dozen full grocery bags or two full-sized coolers.” In the picture, they show it holding a duffel bag, shoes, and other odds and ends. It’s not a tiny storage space at all. It’s also got LED lighting, a 12 volt outlet, and a cargo net."   And on the Gear Tunnel: "Behind the cab and below the bed, Rivian has put in another spot for gear. It opens up on both ends, and has room for the long things you’d take outdoors. From end to end, it’s 65 inches long, or about 5.5 feet (about 1.6 meters). Everyone does different things outdoors, but that’s enough space for quite a few things"   On the Bed: "Measurements from the cab to the back of the down tailgate are just shy of 7 feet, while the width between wheel wells is 50 inches. Not a problem at all. With the tailgate closed, you get that same width, but only 54″ of length. That’s still almost 5 feet, so you can still haul bikes and plenty of other things you’d take outdoors without issue. "   There are 2 x 15amp 120v outlets too, plus air compressor.   https://cleantechnica.com/2021/05/08/rivian-tells-us-more-about-r1t-size-storage/   BIG AUTO IS USING THE OLDEST TRICK IN ITS PLAYBOOK TO STEAL CUSTOMERS FROM TESLA "Tesla also has insanely high brand loyalty and massive appeal to people who've never gone electric, so at the moment, it's all on Big Auto to convince consumers that they should buy a Mustang Mach-E or Cadillac Lyriq rather than a Model Y or Model X." says Business Insider: "However, the EV market isn't sitting still. It's currently about 2% of sales in the US, but unlike the gas-engine market, which can't get much bigger, the EV market is poised to grow by swapping internal-combustion share for electric-car share: a million internal combustion vehicles out, a million EVs in. So Tesla must defend and capture simultaneously, fighting the dreaded two-front war."   https://www.businessinsider.com/big-autos-oldest-trick-in-book-steal-customers-from-tesla-2021-5?r=US&IR=T   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   A recent survey – which I highly questioned and disagreed with – claimed 1 in 5 EV owners went back to piston power.  I have never heard anything like a 20% rate of EV drivers being unhappy with electric.

The ‘Benz Patent Motor Car’ – actually a trike, a three-wheeler – was powered by a single cylinder, four-stroke engine producing 0.74bhp." says Wired: "Ironically, the ICE may well go the same way as the horse; no longer an everyday means of transport, instead a plaything of the rich, paraded at special events and raced. In just a few decades, children will look at them, wonder at the smell of oils and fuels, and jump back when an open-piped V12 barks into life."   https://www.wired.co.uk/article/internal-combution-engine-obituary   ELECTROLYTE FORMULATIONS POINT TO NEXT-GEN BATTERIES "The stability and performance of lithium-oxygen batteries look set to be vastly improved with a tailored electrolyte that could herald the next generation of rechargeable batteries." says The Engineer: "The lithium-oxygen (Li-O2) battery (or lithium-air battery), consisting of Li-metal and a porous conductive framework as its electrodes, releases energy from the reaction of oxygen from the air and lithium. The burgeoning technology has the potential to provide much greater energy storage than a conventional lithium-ion battery."   https://www.theengineer.co.uk/electrolyte-lithium-air-batteries-liverpool-loughborough/   WHY NIO AND XPENG ARE MAKING A BEELINE FOR NORWAY "Norway is fast becoming Chinese electric car start-ups’ key export market. There’s a reason for that: it’s the world leader in terms of EV uptake" says the South China MOrning Post: "Penetration of EVs in Norway is the highest worldwide, with pure electric cars making up over 54 per cent of overall new car sales. In Norway, no purchase and import taxes are imposed on EVs.  Buyers are also exempt from paying a 25 per cent value-added tax.  NIO hopes its “battery as a service” (BaaS) model, which allows customers to buy an electric car while subscribing to a separate battery-leasing plan for a fee, will help it gain an advantage in Europe."   https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3132514/why-chinese-electric-car-start-ups-nio-xpeng-are-making-beeline   GM CEO MARY BARRA TALKS CHEVY SILVERADO "There are still few details about the upcoming electric pickup truck, and we're not even sure if it will carry the Silverado name. We do know it will be built on GM's Ultium platform, and it may share some features and design with the GMC Hummer EV electric truck." repotrs InsideEVs: " Barra said there's already strong demand for the Silverado EV. More specifically, she referred to the "strong response from commercial and government owners as a lot of fleet customers are looking to have zero emission vehicles." Barra made it clear that GM is highly skilled at producing full-size trucks, so now it just has to fit those trucks with an EV powertrain."   https://insideevs.com/news/505995/mary-barra-talks-silverado-ev/     PLUG-IN MODELS NEARING 1 OF 10 NEW-VEHICLE SALES IN CALIFORNIA "Plug-in vehicles—including battery-electric cars, plug-in hybrids, and hydrogen fuel-cell cars—are nearing one in 10 new-car sales in California, according to a periodic update from industry group Veloz, referring to the latest data from the state." writes Green Car Reports: "Californians purchased 59,000 plug-in cars in the first quarter of 2021, accounting for more than a 9% market share for the quarter. The Tesla Model Y was the top-selling model in the state, at 15,265, with the Tesla Model 3 second, at 14,536. The Chevrolet Bolt EV was a distant third, at 5,252 units. The highest-ranked plug-in hybrid as the Toyota Prius Prime, in fourth place, at 4,081"   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1132176_plug-in-models-nearing-1-of-10-new-vehicle-sales-in-california   TESLA SUPERCHARGER NETWORK REACHES 25,000-CHARGER MILESTONE "Tesla’s Supercharger network has now reached a total of 25,000 chargers – a big milestone for the fast-charging network. The Supercharger network is really the only global network of fast-charging stations." says electrek: "At the end of 2020, Tesla had over 20,000 charging stalls at over 2,100 Supercharging stations around the world. Now just a few months later, Tesla announced that the automaker has now 25,000 Superchargers around the world. Those 25,000 Supercharger stalls are at just over 2,700 Supercharger stations. Tesla launched a new Twitter account called ‘Tesla Charging’ that shares every new charging station coming online"   ELECTRIC CAR INSURANCE IN UK IS CHEAPER "The average cost of insuring an electric car in the UK is £45 less than the cost of covering a petrol or diesel car, according to research from the website Comparethemarket.com. Analysis of annual premiums in the first three months of the year showed electric car drivers were charged an average of £566, while petrol and diesel drivers paid £611." according to The Guardian: "Dan Hutson, the head of motor insurance, at Comparethemarket.com, said the difference was explained by a range of factors, including electric cars having fewer complex moving parts to be damaged in an accident."   https://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/may/08/electric-car-insurance-in-uk-is-45-less-than-for-petrol-or-diesel-vehicle   CHINA'S EMISSIONS SURPASS ALL DEVELOPED NATIONS COMBINED " The distribution of global greenhouse gas emissions has reached an inflection point: China's emissions exceeded developed nations combined in 2019, a new Rhodium Group analysis concludes." says AXIOS: "Rhodium's Larsen notes China's per-capita rise stems from higher living standards, China's relatively fossil-intensive power mix and its export-focused manufacturing."   https://www.axios.com/china-emissions-ranking-0757dc71-ffdd-4236-af40-1da21e669061.html   THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE FREEDOM ACT COULD PUT BILLIONS INTO A NATIONWIDE EV CHARGING NETWORK "The Biden administration has made no secret that it is interested in pushing US transportation to an electric future, promising to spend vast sums of money on bringing electric vehicles into the US Government fleet as well as increasing the national EV charging infrastructure. It's a big deal." says CNET: " two members of Congress are pushing a new piece of legislation called the Electric Vehicle Freedom Act, and it goes even farther than President Biden's promises, according to a report published Wednesday by Automotive News. The Electric Vehicle Freedom Act seeks to build hundreds of thousands of electric-vehicle-charging stations around the US within five years and also seeks to shift government funding and tax breaks away from internal combustion vehicles and toward EVs"   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/best-leather-conditioner-for-cars/     QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   MARK I have a small business and was using Google and Facebook ads to find customers. In January, I found Russian ads on my both my Facebook and Google ad accounts and they were charging my payment methods. Then they used my PayPal, credit card and two Visa bank debit cards to order stuff at best buy, eBay and on my Google Store. All of these accounts had different passwords and two factor authentication. So how much data will I be sharing? None.   ROBERT GRACE As to privacy and what driving info that I transmit back to the car manufacturer, the issue is quite important to me. Attached is an image of a Ford Mach-E's very granular privacy options, which I think quite good.  As you can see, you can completely disconnect if you want to, so that the only driving info collected is that required by NHTSA for crash recall.   KERNEL Giving up my data. Two thoughts: 1) I would want open-source evidence what data is collected and where it is stored. 2) I would want control to switch data sharing (and any associated benefits) on and off when I want   ANDY Compared to all the data my cell phone gathers, I don’t worry about my car knowing how I’m driving. My issue would come with any internal cameras and if those were recorded.   CARLING FROM CALIFORNIA I use Apple products because they have the power and size to stand up to attempts to access phones or cloud data, from law enforcement trying to strongarm into complying just because they want some data. But I don’t think a smaller car company would stand so firm, and I’m worried about how data could be misused if there was a record of where my car was.   TONY FROM BRISBANE I share my location from my phone to the rest of my family so they know where I am. I have no issue with my car being tracked as long as I own that data.   SUSAN CHAMPION As someone who drives a lot for a living I feel reassured that, should anything happen, there would be a record of where I am and what was happening around the car.   ROADIEDAVE Despite all the misbehaviour around diesel emission, I actually trust the established car companies to follow all the correct protocols and keep my user data private. We have seen so many times the Silicon Valley startups take the attitude of moving fast and breaking things, but going the extra mile for security can be forgotten in favour of rapid growth.   ELECTRIC LIMITS The question is where the car is made. Anything coming from China, regardless of where it’s sold, should be assumed will be programmed to send a certain amount of data back to Chinese powers.

It’s almost comically bad how terribly the robo-assisted car performs. Mostly, though, it’s just extremely concerning   - Driving through downtown Oakland is nothing like the wide boulevards and predictable traffic patterns of suburbia. The Tesla, it seemed, didn't know what to do with itself.   - At one point, the car goes into a left-turn only lane but continues driving straight toward a line of parked cars.  It's a harrowing 13 minutes. The car gets honked at for taking turns too slowly and stopping too much, usually because it seems to think a pedestrian is nearby.   - It's the only autonomous car company that tests its system with users, however, instead of employees or contractors.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/J3nKy/ Original Source : https://mashable.com/article/tesla-full-self-driving-autonomous-fail/?europe=true   UNBOXING THE TECH THAT MAKES MERCEDES' EQS THE NEW S-CLASS OF ELECTRIC CARS | CARSCOOPS   - Lewis Hilsenteger from YouTube Channel, Unbox Therapy, is one of the first to get up close and personal with Mercedes‘ electric flagship.   - Lew mentions that it’s like stepping into a piece of tech rather than a car, with lighting that works alongside the car’s seat settings to provide the driver and passengers unparalleled comfort.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/M4UqD/ Original Source : https://www.carscoops.com/2021/05/unboxing-the-tech-that-makes-mercedes-eqs-the-new-s-class-of-electric-cars/   CAR DEALERS EMBRACING ELECTRIC VEHICLE SALES   - As a Nevada auto dealer who has been in the business for 42 years, I can assure you that my colleagues and I are just as excited to sell electric vehicles as gas-powered cars — if not more so.   - Today’s electric vehicles are powerful, sleek cars with long ranges. And the ongoing expansion of charging infrastructure makes ownership much more convenient.   - Today’s dealerships sell in person, and almost all have an option to sell online with home delivery. And whereas direct-to-consumer companies tend not to budge on price, competition between neighboring dealers has been proven to drive down prices on the same model.   - In 2020, Nevada’s nearly 100 new-car dealerships were responsible for more than 10,000 jobs, which paid an average annual salary of more than $73,000.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/XqpcU/ Original Source : https://www.reviewjournal.com/opinion/commentary-car-dealers-embracing-electric-vehicle-sales-2348514/   NHRA CREATES EV CLASS FOR DRAG RACING   - The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) has added an electric vehicle class for its drag racing events.   - Chevrolet and Ford have already shown us what they can do with electric power, with the eCOPO Camaro and the Cobra Jet 1400   - The class will debut in 2022 in the NHRA Summit Racing Series   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/g620y/ Original Source : https://www.driving.ca/car-culture/speed-performance/the-nhra-just-created-a-class-for-electric-vehicle-drag-racing     QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   EVs are connected cars.

Springpower’s process cleverly recirculates the chemical solution, removing the need for expensive water treatment.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/XZtxS/ Original Source : https://techcrunch.com/2021/05/04/tesla-taps-tiny-startups-tech-to-build-cheaper-cleaner-batteries/   TESLA USES SPRINGPOWER INTERNATIONAL TECH   - Thus, the purchase of patents, the description of Springpower technologies for the production of Tesla 4680 batteries, and several other factors indicate that the two companies have close cooperation, and perhaps hint at something more, such as an acquisition. For example, Springpower CEO Michael Wang has consistently interacted with posts by Tesla employees on LinkedIn, which may hint at a close and warm relationship.   - it is likely that Tesla has acquired a tiny startup whose technology was considered by others to be too far from commercialization. The symbiosis between Springpower and the largest electric vehicle manufacturer in the world will definitely bear very juicy fruit in the form of critical savings in battery production.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/2KIGW/ Original Source : https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-uses-springpower-international-technology-to-produce-batteries-economically-and-environmentally   Amrit Bhogan | LinkedIn Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/CrN0y/ Original Source : https://www.linkedin.com/in/amrit-bhogan-b395a1140/     Yang Liu | LinkedIn Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/lki9B/ Original Source : https://www.linkedin.com/in/yang-liu-8b50a9a2/     MG ROOF RAILS SAGA ENDS AFTER 7 MONTHS - After initially marketing the all-electric MG5 EV as having a roof carry capacity of 50kg, then backtracking and telling owners not to put anything on the roof, MG should soon be able to confirm that owners can actually add 35kg of luggage to the car’s roof rails. Seven months after the car first went on sale.   - it came to MG’s attention that key testing had not been done and therefore it could not confirm how much load can be carried on the car’s roof.   - The latest development is that the roof capacity should soon be confirmed as 35kg, once final signoff has been received from the UK vehicle standards body, the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), following a long series of tests.   - MG told us a validation testing procedure was missed due to human error, and the company has since amended its processes to prevent it recurring. Similarly, the original stated capacity of 50kg was also a result of human error.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/rdZLr/ Original Source : https://www.which.co.uk/news/2021/05/7-months-after-going-on-sale-mg-can-finally-say-whether-owners-of-its-electric-car-can-use-the-roof-rails/       FORD MUSTANG MACH-E PRODUCTION NUMBERS (1) Matthias Schmidt on Twitter: "20,960 all-electric Ford Mach-E manufactured during the first third of 2021 according to Ford data.

This was the first time he and co-driver Emme Hall contested a 1,000-mile race without a single mechanical problem.   - the only electric vehicle entered in the event.   - To charge the ID.4 in the wilds of Baja, the Volkswagen team will use a portable biofuel generator powering a 50-kW portable fast charger. As the NORRA Mexico 1000 race will be run in loops due to COVID travel restrictions, the team will attempt to complete about 98 percent of the stages in the loop event without the need for recharging.   - The interior of the ID.4 has been stripped of features such as the HVAC system and modified with a roll cage, safety racing seats and supplemental screens for key data like battery temperature.   - Foust noted that their main issue was charge time; he and Hall could travel similar distances to their ICE counterparts, but they needed to wait longer to fill up the battery.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/ErqCx/ Original Source : https://jalopnik.com/volkswagen-id-4-survives-mexican-1000-off-road-race-wit-1846807213   SOFTWARE, SOLAR ENERGY: THE RISKY CONVERSION PLAN FROM VW BOSS DIESS - CEO Herbert Diess orders VW to launch the next revolution after electromobility : he wants to create the fully networked and self-steering vehicle with its own processors .The 2030 strategy , which the VW boss is currently working on, is intended to bring the group on a par with Tesla and Apple .

China’s Huawei Technologies is in talks to take control of a small domestic automaker’s electric vehicle unit, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said, a move that would be a strategic shift for the world’s largest telecom equipment maker.   - Huawei, which has been battered by U.S. sanctions, is in talks with Chongqing Sokon (601127.SS) to acquire a controlling stake in the latter's Chongqing Jinkang New Energy Automobile, said the sources.   - inkang counts U.S. EV brand Seres, formerly known as SF Motors, as its main asset.   - Huawei's foray into EVs comes as technology firms such as Xiaomi Corp (1810.HK) have been stepping up efforts in the world's biggest market for such vehicles, as Beijing heavily promotes greener vehicles to reduce carbon emissions.   - For months, Huawei has been deeply involved in the operation and manufacturing of the little-known Sokon and its loss-making Seres unit.Under the tie-up, Seres's first model, "Huawei Smart Selection" SF5, debuted at the Shanghai Auto Show and received over 3,000 orders within two days after the pre-sale started last week, according to Sere   -

ALEX EFTIMIE and BETTY MCDANIEL   2013 MERCEDES-BENZ SLS AMG COUPÉ ELECTRIC DRIVE   - Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 2012 with deliveries beginning in 2013, it was anticipated that less than 100 examples would be built, but in reality production was far fewer. This car is beleived to be one of just nine examples completed.   - Powered by four electric motors at each corner bringing a total output of 750 PS (740 bhp) and 1,000 NM of torque, the SLS AMG Electric Drive’s transmission allows for seamless four-wheel drive performance. The car’s lithium-ion battery pack at full charge could provide a range of 250 km.   - Paddle shifters behind the steering wheel allow the driver to control the level of regenerative braking available, meaning that one-pedal driving can be achieved with ease.   - Believed to be one of only nine examples produced, these cars provided a rare glimpse into the future of the sports car, a future which is fast approaching, and as such the SLS AMG Electric Drive will continue to be highly sought after by collectors for years to come as it has set the standard for others to follow.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/KCWMV/ Original Source : https://rmsothebys.com/en/home/private-sales/r5104-2013-mercedes-benz-sls-amg-coup%C3%A9-electric-drive/1090213       RIVIAN TO PARTNER WITH NATIONWIDE FOR INSURANCE PROGRAM   - Rivian’s plans to sell insurance for its electric vehicles are now taking shape, with new details released about data-driven coverage and a partnership with established underwriter Nationwide.   - Rivian recently announced plans to sell insurance products as part of its digital ordering process. The company says by linking insurance to the vehicle itself, it will be able to diagnose issues more quickly and comprehensively, and even remotely. And those who use Rivian’s mid-level autonomous driving tool can get discounts on their insurance rates.   - Rivian Insurance will be available to customers in 40 states initially; insurance is generally regulated state-by-state. The policies will be underwritten by third-party carriers.   - The reason it’s possible is because of telematics, also known as usage-based insurance (UBI), a trend that’s grown within the insurance business for the past decade or so. That’s technology inside of a car that can track how fast you accelerate, how hard you brake—in other words, how risky you are. With super-connected vehicles like Rivian’s, there is simply more data available.   - Every Rivian vehicle is equipped with the company’s Driver+ suite of safety technology. Rivian Insurance customers will automatically receive a Driver+ rate reduction, in addition to any discounts for using the feature that automatically steers and adjusts speed on the highway.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/18Nal/ Original Source : https://www.wglt.org/post/rivian-partner-nationwide-insurance-program#stream/0   HOW BIDEN PLANS TO BUILD 500 EV CHARGING STATIONS   - President Joe Biden has proposed spending at least $15 billion to begin rolling out electric vehicle charging stations, with the goal of reaching 500,000 charging stations nationwide by 2030.   - he roll-out of chargers should match consumer adoption to moderate demand and allow time to expand the electric grid   - Dan Ives, an analyst at Wedbush Securities: “In order for EVs to be more pervasive, it’s going to have to be gas station-like, where you can find an EV charging station with significant capacity” almost anywhere.   - The Biden administration has frequently likened the president’s infrastructure proposal and the EV initiatives within it to the roll out of the interstate highway system in the 1950s in scope and potential influence, which cost about $1.1 trillion in today’s dollars ($114 billion at the time).The gas stations that dot the interstates and reach out into some of the most remote areas of the country didn’t come all at once — they tracked with demand for cars and trucks as it rose over the 20th century, experts say.   - There are about 102,000 public charging outlets across about 42,000 charging stations nationwide today, according to the Department of Energy, with a third concentrated in California   - However, investment from utilities, auto companies and private charging companies won’t be enough without some government help, said charging specialists in each industry — both to support the market expansion and to ensure it happens quickly and equitably, as the administration has said it hopes to do.It’s also crucial in order to be competitive with China, experts say, which has dramatically outpaced both the U.S. and Europe in publicly accessible chargers.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/auPnO/ Original Source : https://www.govtech.com/transportation/biden-plans-to-build-500-ev-charging-stations     BIDEN'S FIRST 100 DAYS HAVE ALREADY ELECTRIFIED THE AUTO INDUSTRY   - An electric federal fleet   - EV tax credit renewal nabs attention   - $100 billion for direct EV rebates   - Half a million EV chargers   - Remaking America's EV supply chain   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/PsbqE/ Original Source : https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/biden-first-100-days-auto-industry-ev-emissions/?utm_source=reddit.com     ELECTRIC CARS TO STORE RENEWABLES IN THE NETHERLANDS   - We Drive Solar and Hyundai are planning to set up a network of 500 bi-directional EV recharging stations in the city and region of Utrecht. Through this technology, electric cars may contribute to the storage of renewable energy in a country affected by grid constraints.   - The stations will be initially tested on Hyundai's Ioniq 5 car, which is equipped with bi-directional charging technology.   - The project includes standardization and embedding of protocols, software-mediated control of charging stations, a scientific validation of the proposed “bi-directional ecosystem,” the large scale application of bidirectional shared cars in a green urban district, and coupling car-sharing reservations with bidirectional charging.   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/1cS1S/ Original Source : https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/04/29/electric-cars-to-store-renewables-in-the-netherlands/   EV CHARGING NETWORK CHARGEPOINT NOW SUPPORTS ANDROID AUTO   - Android phone users will be able to find, navigate to, and start charging from a ChargePoint charging station from their car’s infotainment screen, without having to pick up their phone. Support for Android Auto follows the addition of CarPlay support in November last year.   - the Android Auto experience lets you view a map with nearby charging stations, check status, filter by metrics like availability and cost, and then start a charging session once you arrive.

However, the gain of roughly 10 miles or 5% is still too small to offset the difference to real-world results, which are usually significantly higher than EPA.   - Taycan Turbo is 212 miles (341 km), which is 11 miles, or 5.5% higher than before.   - Porsche Taycan Turbo S, the EPA Combined range increased by 9 miles or 4.7% compared to 2020 MY, to 201 miles (323 km)   Highlighted Source : https://share.getliner.com/oxe0V/ Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/504432/2021-porsche-taycan-turbo-epa/   QOTW   What’s the best consumer education for EVs in 2021?   RAJEEV NARAYAN Here in the U.S., and presumably in Europe,  the majority of car buyers have never driven an EV or may not even know anyone with an EV. Therefore an EV does not even come to mind when shopping for a car. A great many of these buyers  may be best served by an EV and don’t even know it. The most effective consumer education for them is free test drives that are heavily promoted, as once driven, EVs tend to sell themselves.   e-Tripping with Adam Gebbett Regarding question of the week. I would love to educate every new ev buyer that you do not need 500 miles of range. Why people bang on about range in the U.K. is a mystery. Bladder 100 miles, service station every 40 miles.   David Sawdon Great to see you back on YouTube. Love the addition of screen shots. Getting people in to electric vehicles is key. All loan vehicles while your ICE is in for a service should be electric cars to help adoption.   SACHA most effective consumer education imho starts with butts in seat . I haven’t had one passenger that wasn’t immediately intrigued and asking questions. Those that are really interested do more reading after that , ask follow up questions etc.   ED CORTEEN The best way to reach people who do not drive EVs is to give them a test drive, any Dealer who is serious should use EVs as service loaners for their customers. You can watch as many YouTube videos as you like but real experience is the only way to find out.   DAVID CURTIS To get more bums in the seats of EV is by word of mouth and seeing for them selves how great they are.   BYRON STUMMAN Thinking about the most effective consumer education method, I think it has to come from dealerships.  Commercials and news stories are great but people are physically buying their new cars at dealerships. The sales teams and management need to be pro EV, showcase the cars on showroom floors and encourage customers to give them a test drive. Bums in seats as you say. Currently from sales teams there is still a lot of apprehension and doubt whether EV’s are serious cars worth buying.   DOUG VOWLES Here in Ontario Canada, we have Plug ‘n Drive, (About Plug’n Drive – Plug'n Drive (plugndrive.ca)) an organization that provides free EV test drives and consumer education.  It’s non-profit funded by Ontario Power Generation and other companies with a stake in EV success.  But this is something that governments and auto companies should be mandating world-wide.  Sample a typical EV experience first and “get it” – then worry about what the best brand and model is.   MARK RICHARDS I drive for Uber with my Bolt.  And I get a LOT of questions about it from people.  In fact, I think I’ve convinced at least 5 people to make a trip to the chevy dealer to check one out…especially with how cheap they are going right now. I should work out a deal with a local Denver dealer to get me a commission

A recent ABB report, in conjunction with the automotive intelligence unit of Ultima Media, highlights the role of automation in meeting demand as EVs are predicted to overtake ICE-powered vehicles by 2036." says AutocarPro:" Battery production capacity will likely need to outpace EV demand to meet the rising need for lithium-ion power in other sectors, along with mitigating supply and production constraints. The report estimates that global capacity for lithium-ion batteries will increase from 450 gigawatt hours (GWh) in 2020 to more than 2,850 GWh by 2030. The high price of EVs will increasingly create a barrier to further market penetration, reducing vehicle cost has therefore become a whole-industry focus. Given that the battery represents up to a third of vehicle costs, ABB is focused on solutions that improve battery manufacturing productivity."   https://www.autocarpro.in/news-international/eighty-gigafactories-may-be-insufficient-if-ev-sales-are-to-surpass-ice-by-2030s-79030   ELECTRIC CARS: WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ALL THE DEAD BATTERIES? "While electric vehicles (EVs) may not emit any carbon dioxide during their working lives, [Paul Anderson from University of Birmingham is] concerned about what happens when they run out of road - in particular what happens to the batteries." says BBC News: "EV batteries are larger and heavier than those in regular cars and are made up of several hundred individual lithium-ion cells, all of which need dismantling. They contain hazardous materials, and have an inconvenient tendency to explode if disassembled incorrectly. Recent proposals from the European Union would see EV suppliers responsible for making sure that their products aren't simply dumped at the end of their life, and manufacturers are already starting to step up to the mark."   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56574779   TRITIUM SELECTED BY US ARMY TO SUPPORT FLEET ELECTRIFICATION  Tritium, a global leader in DC fast charging technology for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced that it has been selected to participate in the Power Transfer Cohort, powered by the Army Applications Laboratory (AAL) in collaboration with Alion Science and Technology. This program focuses on advancing solutions that will support remote access, rapid recharging, and scalable infrastructure to help the Army move to electric vehicles EVs. Tritium is the only DC fast charging provider which was selected for the program.   Companies in the Cohort will work directly with the Next Generation Combat Vehicle Cross Functional Team (NGCV) and the Ground Vehicle Systems Center (GVSC) to identify and explore EV infrastructure technologies that can work across the diverse fleet of ~225,000 Army vehicles operating in the most demanding environments.   Each cohort focuses on solving a specific problem aligned to the Army’s 16-year modernization strategy. The Power Transfer Cohort is an 8-week program, and each company selected to participate receives a contract for $100,000 with the potential for follow-on awards.   TOYOTA BEGINS EUROPEAN ROLL-OUT OF PROACE ELECTRIC VAN "Toyota has started the market launch of the Proace Electric and Proace Verso Electric in Europe. List prices in Germany start at 41,948 euros for the Proace Electric and 58,530 euros for the Proace Verso Electric. The smaller Proace City Electric is to follow in October this year." says electrive: "The Proace is not based on a Toyota platform, but on the EMP2 from PSA/Stellantis. The minibus is thus another offshoot to the three well-known models of the PSA brands Citroën, Peugeot and Opel. The Proace Electric is the commercial vehicle version (comparable to the Opel Vivaro-e), while the Proace Verso Electric is the passenger car model for private customers, like the Opel Zafira-e Life. The technical data matches that of the PSA trio: The 100 kW electric motor is used, Toyota also offers two battery options (50 or 75 kWh).

The report expects Tesla to regain traction in 2021, with its market share set to return to closer to 20 per cent by the end of the year. Its 12-month running peak was 31 per cent at the end of 2019 according to the report. VW Group led the way in the 12-month period up to and including March 2021 with 23 per cent share of the total BEV market.      - German xEV passengers cars in circulation (Parc) remain on course to be the first European market to hit the 1 million mark before by the end of this summer and just before German Chancellor Merkel departs her post, securing her electric legacy, all be it one year behind the government's original target.   - SUV/Crossovers remained the largest BEV car sector.   - The total West European 12-month BEV cumulative total up to and including March 2021 was 0.8 million units, with the 1 million 12-month cumulative mark expected to be reached this summer.

For example, the EQS has the largest net capacity at 107.8 kWh. The battery of the Tesla Model S P100D still contains a lush 95 kWh. The Porsche Taycan comes in at 83.7 kWh. A lot helps a lot. The buyers of the Mercedes can draw on the full capacity." says electrive: "At the same time, the power consumption of the EQS is low on the motorway, thanks to good aerodynamics. The drag coefficient of cW=0.20 and the frontal area of 2.51 square metres result in a cA value of 0.5. With battery-electric cars that have a poor cA value, long-distance suitability suffers. This applies above all to SUVs, which have too large a frontal area due to their height. The third essential aspect for progress is the charging power in the defined window from 10 to 80 per cent SOC. All electric cars in the top 10 of the Charging Index have an average of over 100 kW. And the Mercedes EQS, unlike the Porsche Taycan, does not have an 800-volt battery system. But the large capacity enables a peak power of over 200 kW and an average of 164 kW even on a 400-volt basis.

The Honda model will reportedly enter production in 2023 in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico, where the Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox are made, and the Acura will allegedly follow in 202 at Spring Hill in Tennessee."   An email to The Drive: ""We are jointly developing two EV SUVs models using GM's Ultium batteries for the North American market as 2024 model year, one for the Honda brand and one for the Acura brand. As announced in April 2020, these will be produced by GM."   https://www.thedrive.com/news/40332/gm-will-build-a-large-electric-suv-for-acura-in-2024     VOLVO, UBER JOIN CALL FOR EU-WIDE BAN ON GASOLINE" "Volvo, Vattenfall and Uber are among 27 companies calling on the EU to ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2035 in order to accelerate the transition to electric cars." says S&P Global Platts Analytics: "The EU Commission is expected to propose new targets in June as part of its "Fit for 55" package of legislation, which is intended to put the EU on track to cut overall emissions by at least 55% by 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050. Germany, the region's biggest economy and largest oil market, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands plan to end sales of new ICE cars in 2030. Norway, Europe's electric car powerhouse, has the most ambitious plan to phase out combustion-engine cars from 2025. The UK in November brought forward a ban on sales of new gasoline and diesel cars to 2030 to help decarbonize the transport sector."   https://www.spglobal.com/platts/en/market-insights/latest-news/electric-power/042621-volvo-uber-join-call-for-eu-wide-ban-on-gasoline-diesel-cars-by-2035   SK’S EV BATTERY MATERIAL UNIT’S SEOUL IPO FETCHES $2 BILLION "South Korean energy supplier SK Innovation Co. and SK IE Technology Co. have raised 2.25 trillion won ($2 billion) in the battery material unit’s initial public offering, the country’s biggest in four years." says Yahoo! Finance: "SK IE technology plans to use the IPO proceeds for capital expenditures related to capacity expansion in Poland and China, as well as for the upgrading and maintenance of its production facilities and equipment. The company announced last month it will spend 1.1 trillion won building new factories in Poland to meet growing demand amid an EV boom in Europe."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sk-ev-battery-material-unit-042333700.html   POWERWALL+ IMAGES AND SPECS RELEASED "Tesla has now released the specs and the first images of a new Powerwall + installation after the power update announced by Elon Musk last week.  During Tesla’s earnings call on Monday, Musk said that the new Powerwall went into production in November of last year. Now Tesla has started sending spec sheets of what they are now calling the ‘Powerwall +’ to new buyers" according to Fred at ElectreK:" The Powerwall+ now has a top power of 9.6 kW, which went up from 5 kW continuous and 7 kW peak. Tesla has a new inverter with integrated breaker that sits on top of the new Powerwall+ – giving the installation a new look".   Still 13.5kWh.   https://electrek.co/2021/04/30/tesla-powerwall-plus-images-specs-released/   LOTUS TO INVEST £2BN IN SWITCH TO ELECTRIC "Sports car maker Lotus will build electric vehicles in the UK as part of a £2bn investment push aimed at massively increasing its production capacity. The Hethel-based firm yesterday announced that it would switch to selling only electric cars by 2028. Its last combustion engine car, the Emira, will launch this summer." says CityAM: "As part of the investment, the Telegraph reported that the firm would hire an extra 250 staff at its plant in Hethel, which currently has a workforce of 1,500. Over a ten year revamp, the firm expects to triple the site’s production capacity, it added."   https://www.cityam.com/lotus-to-invest-2bn-in-switch-to-electric/   KIA EV6 ELECTRIC CAR: UK PRICES START FROM £40,895 ""Full pricing for the new Kia EV6 electric car has been released, including a breakdown of the trim levels. Prices for the Korean brand’s new EV start from £40,895, with first deliveries expected to arrive in October." reportd AutoExpress: "Every UK model also comes as standard with the company’s long-range 77.4kWh battery, rather than the entry-level 58kWh unit offered in other markets. The entry-level Kia EV6 features a 226bhp electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The sportier EV6 GT-Line can be specified with either the 226bhp rear-wheel drive (£43,895) or a dual-motor, four-wheel drive 321bhp powertrain (£47,395).

On today’s podcast: Volkswagen ID 4 GTX is performance EV flagship Volkswagen ID.5 teased Skoda starts Enyaq deliveries in Norway GM Ultium Charge 360 Electric Ford Mustang Mach-E to pace NASCAR Talladega Cup Series race Tesla’s head of UI departs Hyundai Kona Electric discontinued in Korea Third VW Plant In China Under Construction     Show #1066   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 29th April. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   VOLKSWAGEN ID 4 GTX IS PERFORMANCE EV FLAGSHIP "The GTX’s powertrain comprises a 201bhp permanent magnet synchro machine (PSM) on the rear axle, and an asychronous motor (ASM) on the front axle. The two motors combine for 295bhp, although Volkswagen has yet to confirm the torque output. The system can power the ID 4 GTX from rest to 62mph in 6.2sec, with top speed limited to 112mph.  When it goes on sale, the range-topping version of the electric SUV will be the first ID model to use the new GTX badge" says Autocar: "While the GTI line is centred around the Golf, Volkswagen has chosen to use the ID 4 for the first GTX model because of both the growing importance of the SUV market and the decision to use a twin-motor powertrain, which the smaller ID 3 hatch is unable to accommodate."   "The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX is on sale in Germany now priced from €50,415 (around £43,500), although that includes a €7,500 subsidy from the German government. Under normal driving conditions, the ID.4 GTX is propelled by the rear electric motor alone. However, when the car recognises a loss of traction or a demand for more power through the accelerator, it activates the front motor to keep the SUV planted or accelerating as fast as it can. " reports AutoExpress: "To support the more powerful electric motors, the ID.4 GTX is available with an optional Sports package, which adds lowered sports suspension and progressive steering - the latter altering the steering ratio according to the amount of steering lock applied. Volkswagen’s optional Sports Plus package builds on this further with adaptive dampers. To mark it out as the performance model it gets a new front bumper with LED-backlit intakes, a sporty rear diffuser and 20-inch alloy wheels. Matrix LED headlights also come as standard, along with dynamic indicators and a two-tone paint finish. Larger 21-inch alloys are offered as an option."   "Power is drawn from a 77kWh battery pack that sits underneath the cabin floor, and is capable of up to 125kW charging from rapid chargers. Estimated range on the WLTP cycle is rated at 297 miles – a drop of only around 17 miles compared to a standard 77kWh ID.4. VW hasn’t released kerb weights as yet, but thanks to the extra hardware on board expect a jump on a standard ID.4’s 2124kg figure, likely making this ‘electric GTI’ a 2200kg-plus proposition. " says the performance mag evo: "In reality, a 2.2 ton ID.4 is not the GTX we’re particularly interested in, but when Volkswagen (or likely Cupra) decides to drop this powertrain into something a little smaller and lighter, we’ll start taking notice of the ‘electric GTI’ connection VW is so determined to establish."   "The GTX name will be used on more upcoming all-electric ID models in Europe. The AWD version coming to the US later this year might not carry the GTX designation but will have similar technical specifications. When the driver hits the brake pedal, the rear motor is responsible for decelerating the EV while recovering energy. The front motor can recover energy in some situations. The rear motor can brake up to a deceleration rate of about 0.3g, after that, the hydraulic brakes kick in. In the D drive mode, energy regeneration only happens when the brake pedal is applied. However, when in the B (Brake) drive mode, power regeneration starts when the driver lifts off the accelerator pedal." says InsideEVs. The U.S. EPA range is 250 miles for RWD. "Standard features in the ID.4 GTX include a 30-color ambient lighting system, a heated leather steering wheel, leatherette seating with red stitching, a 5.3-inch driver's display, a 10-inch center touchscreen, the Hello ID voice assistant, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, lane keep assist, and automatic emergency braking.  Optional features offered in various packages include a 12-inch center touchscreen, an augmented reality head-up display, a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, and the Travel Assist driver-assistance system."   And we couldn't get to the end without a comparison with the cars which still, for many, define the EV segment. According to Car & Driver: "Claimed performance is, frankly, underwhelming by segment standards. Volkswagen's promise of a 6.2-second zero-to-62-mph time translates to GTI-level acceleration but looks leisurely by segment standards, delivering on our prediction that Volkswagen's fastest EV will be slower than the cheapest and least powerful Tesla."     https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-2021-volkswagen-id-4-gtx-performance-ev-flagship   https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/354855/new-hot-electric-volkswagen-id4-gtx-launched-295bhp   https://insideevs.com/news/503979/volkswagen-id-4-gtx-electric/   https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36275982/vw-id4-gtx-revealed/   VOLKSWAGEN ID.5 TEASED "Recently, during the presentation of the ID.4 GTX, came the first major showing of the ID.5 and the confirmation of a GTX version of it. This is the latest vehicle to ride on VW's MEB platform for EVs but with a sleeker roof than on the ID.4.The front of the ID.5 is nearly identical to the ID.4, and the flanks are similar. The major change is the roof's distinct arch, whereas the ID.4 is a bit more angular. The design differences between them are not very significant." says Motor1: "The two models likely share the same powertrains."   SKODA STARTS ENYAQ DELIVERIES IN NORWAY "Škoda has started deliveries of its electric model Enyaq iV. The first model was delivered to a family in Norway. After the start of deliveries in the Scandinavian markets, Western and Central Europe are to follow from May and June 2021." says electrive: " the Enyaq iV 60 and 80 variants were available with rear-wheel drive – i.e. with 58 kWh or 77 kWh battery capacity. In the meantime, the basic Enyaq iV 50 model with a 52 kWh battery can also be ordered. The two all-wheel-drive models are not yet available."   UK pricing starts at £31,085 and UK deliveries start in a few weeks.   https://www.electrive.com/2021/04/28/skoda-starts-enyaq-deliveries-in-norway/   GM ULTIUM CHARGE 360 "Much like Ford does with its FordPass network, the Ultium Charge 360 will integrate GM’s own vehicle apps and software with a variety of third-party charging services, such as Blink, ChargePoint, EVgo, Flo, Greenlots, and SemaConnect. The goal is to create a seamless experience in which an owner of a GM electric vehicle can drive up to a station, plug in, and start charging without having to juggle multiple apps or third-party memberships." says The Verge: " lot will depend on the level of service provided by these various charging services, an aspect that GM will have little control over. EV charging in the US is a bit of a mess, with broken chargers, fraying cables, and unreliable maps. While GM can’t solve some of the more intractable problems, it says it’s doing what it can to make charging a little less of a headache. GM wouldn’t say whether its forthcoming EVs would include Plug and Charge capabilities, a new technology standard that allows a much simpler way to charge your car."   https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/28/22407789/gm-ev-charging-general-motors-ultium-charge-360   ELECTRIC FORD MUSTANG MACH-E TO PACE NASCAR TALLADEGA CUP SERIES RACE "The Ford Mustang-Mach E is hitting the track. The all-electric utility vehicle will serve as the pace car for the NASCAR Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, April. 25." says Fox NEws: "Ford's electric cars have come a long way in the past decade. While the Focus had a range of 115 miles per charge, the Mach-E is available in a version that can cover 305 miles between stops."   https://www.foxnews.com/auto/electric-ford-mustang-mach-e-nascar-talladega-cup-series   TESLA’S HEAD OF UI DEPARTS "Tesla’s longtime head of user interface design has left the company, and he has published some images of previously unreleased UI design for the Cybertruck and Full Self-Driving software in the process. These designs were seen partially in the Cybertruck launch but never so clearly…" says Fred at eelectreK: "According to his LInkedin profile, Pietryka left Tesla last month to create his own design firm called Moderne Grafik Anstalt. Pietryka has been replaced as head of UI design at Tesla by Ben Cunningham, who came to Tesla last year from Facebook. As part of Pietryka’s portfolio on his new firm’s website, the designer shared some images of his designs at Tesla."   https://electrek.co/2021/04/28/tesla-head-ui-leaves-leaks-unreleased-cybertruck-fsd-images/   HYUNDAI KONA ELECTRIC DISCONTINUED IN KOREA "There've been whispers about an uncertain future for the Hyundai Kona Electric, and on Wednesday we learned it's going away in the automaker's home country of Korea. The country's Yonhap News Agency first reported Hyundai will discontinue the Kona Electric locally as recalls for battery fires continue. The company will instead focus on the Ioniq 5 as its flagship EV for now." sayas CNET: "Hyundai recently revealed a refreshed model with new looks but an identical powertrain, set to go on sale soon in both Europe and the US. Korea, however, will have to deal with whatever models remain at dealership lots."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/hyundai-kona-electric-discontinued-battery-fire-recalls/   THIRD VW PLANT IN CHINA UNDER CONSTRUCTION Volkswagen Group China has begun construction of an all-new MEB plant at Volkswagen Anhui recently. As the third of the Group’s pure-electric vehicle manufacturing facilities in China, following completion of the Anting (SAIC VW) and Foshan (FAW-VW) plants, the Volkswagen Anhui plant will be powered by green energy from day one. Due for completion mid-2022, the plant is set for start of production in the second half of 2023. The plant is another cornerstone of Volkswagen’s global e-mobility push. By 2025, Volkswagen Group China plans to deliver up to 1.5 million new energy vehicles (NEVs) per year.   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   Whats the most effective consumer education regarding EVs?   Email me your thoughts and I’ll read them out on Sunday – hello@evnewsdaily.com     It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

I've met with a number of the people that you know that are in the supply side of this. And it was our estimation, in fact, our whole team went through a really deep dive on this six months ago, that the supply chain has ramped up since Elon built his Gigafactory. And so there's plenty there that does not warrant us to migrate our capital into owning our own factory. There's no advantage in the ownership in terms of cost or sourcing as what Ford can draw on."   https://www.fool.com/earnings/call-transcripts/2020/07/31/ford-f-q2-2020-earnings-call-transcript.aspx     " Ford Motor plans to invest $185 million into a new battery lab as a step toward manufacturing its own battery cells for electric vehicles, the company announced Tuesday. The funds will go toward constructing Ford Ion Park, a “pilot facility” for production that’s expected to open by the end of next year outside Detroit. The planned 200,000-square-foot lab is designed to accelerate development of the technologies as the company plans to “eventually manufacture” new battery cells and batteries" writes CNBC: "The company currently purchases cells from suppliers such as South Korea-based SK Innovation.  Ford’s new facility will not be a full battery cell production facility like Tesla has or like General Motors has announced as part of $4.6 billion investments in two U.S. battery cell production plants with LG Energy Solution. Ford is hiring 150 people for Ion Park and has already brought on some employees."   https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/27/ford-moves-to-make-electric-vehicle-battery-cells.html   Ford Authority said: "The Ford Ion Park team also is exploring better integration and innovation opportunities across all aspects of the value chain – from mines to recycling – working with all teams within Ford, including experts at Ford’s new Battery Benchmarking and Test Laboratory, Ford Customer Service Division, plus key suppliers and partners."  The continue: "This 200,000 square-foot learning lab will include pilot-scale equipment for electrode, cell, and array design and manufacturing and will use state-of-the-art technology to pilot new manufacturing techniques that will allow Ford to quickly scale breakthrough battery cell designs with novel materials once the company vertically integrates battery cells and batteries"   https://fordauthority.com/2021/04/ford-ion-park-revealed-as-new-battery-research-and-development-center-video/   THE WILD WAYS GM'S GETTING THE LYRIQ AND HUMMER EV TO MARKET SO QUICKLY "Reservations for the $59,990 2023 Cadillac Lyriq will begin in September. Meanwhile, deliveries of the vehicle are set for the first quarter of 2022. The original timeline saw the Lyriq going on sale at the end of 2022." so how did GM engineers knock 9 months off the timeframe? asks MotorTrend: "Credit a mix of cost-cutting necessity, a need for speed, the flexibility of a new electric vehicle architecture, and the realization that greater reliance on virtual tools can get the job done.  The Lyriq is part of a new wave of electric vehicles from GM on its new BEV3 electric vehicle architecture, now referred to as the Ultium platform because it uses Ultium batteries developed by the automaker with LG Chem. The first Ultium-based vehicle to hit the market will be the 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup this fall. The Lyriq will be second to bat. Both vehicles are being developed twice as fast as core GM products were created in the past."   And neccessity is the mother of invention. GM slashed costs by $4.5bn annually from 2018, and that forced designers to use virtual development more extensively.Also less reliance on building prototypes, wind tunnels and physical crash tests. Which you can do hundreds of times over without the month it takes to rig a real test car with all the sensors.   So what are the other platforms important to EVs? They include MEB at VW, and E-GMP at Hyundai.   https://www.motortrend.com/news/gm-cadillac-gmc-lyriq-hummer-ev-market-launch/   VOLKSWAGEN’S PROJECT TRINITY EV "Volkswagen is hard at work on its next-generation electric vehicle currently known as Project Trinity is expected to debut in 2026. It will be one of the first VW group vehicles to be built on a new dedicated electric vehicle architecture, called Scalable Systems Platform (SSP for short), that will allow for more range, more advanced tech and a slight rethink of VW’s business model (because most of the group's models will end up using this platform)." reports InsideEVs: "The SSP chassis architecture is also important to delve deeper into. It will eventually not only replace today’s MEB platform, but also the PPE platform used in the VW group’s larger and more luxurious electric offerings. PPE isn’t even out yet, but Audi used it to underpin its close-to-production A6 e-tron concept that recently bowed at the Shanghai auto show. The plan is said to be for SSP to be used for around 80 percent of the VW group’s future models."   https://insideevs.com/news/503889/vw-project-trinity-ssp-platform/ https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volkswagen-project-trinity-herald-car-buying-revolution     TESLA TO TWEAK APPLICATION FOR GERMAN GIGAFACTORY, MINISTRY SAYS "Tesla (TSLA.O) plans to tweak the application for its planned gigafactory in Europe, the German state in which the plant is being built said on Tuesday, adding it was not possible at this stage to say how long it would take to approve the site." reports Reuters: "Tesla had said on Monday that the construction of the factory, located in Gruenheide outside Berlin, was moving forward, adding production and deliveries were "on track for late 2021". The Ministry of Agriculture in the German state of Brandenburg said the amended application would include the construction and operation of a battery cell factory, which was previously flagged by Tesla."   https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/no-timetable-approve-teslas-german-gigafactory-german-state-2021-04-27/   RENAULT IS GEARING UP FOR EV SALES OF 65% BY 2025 "Renault CEO Luca de Meo has set new targets for the electrification of the brand in Europe. In 2025, the share of electrified passenger cars should be 65%. By 2030, that figure should be at least 90%." says Next Greencar: "By 2030, emissions from Groupe Renault vehicles sold in Europe (i.e. including brands such as Alpine or Dacia) are to be reduced by 65%, but only by 35% worldwide. This suggests the French company expects a significant hybrid share of new car sales in 2030. The CEO also announced that Renault will not develop a new engine for the “last generation” of diesel vehicles. Instead, he said, an existing engine will be adapted. Renault develops and builds its own internal combustion engines, some of which have been supplied to other carmakers, including Daimler."   https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/9139/renault-is-gearing-up-for-ev-sales-of-65-by-2025/   AMAZON’S FIRST ELECTRIC VANS STARTED DELIVERING PACKAGES IN THE DENVER AREA "The first Amazon deliveries using new Rivian electric vans reached Denver this week, one of 16 U.S. locations the online retailer plans to deploy electric vehicles on its routes." says ColoradoSun.com: "The Denver-area routes are part of an initial test in different climates that is also occurring in a few other U.S. cities before the Rivian EV program expands. But its R1T electric truck and R1S electric SUV are different from the custom Amazon vans. The consumer models are expected to have a range of 300 miles, compared with 150 for the Amazon vans. The limited range means Colorado delivery routes will be in the Aurora, Boulder, Denver and Thornton neighborhoods near existing Amazon warehouses, said Nikki Wheeler, an Amazon spokeswoman.  “The range we’re sharing is what we have seen based on current testing,” she said."   https://coloradosun.com/2021/04/27/amazon-electric-vans-denver-rivian/ https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/transportation/amazons-custom-electric-delivery-vehicles-are-starting-to-hit-the-road   HYUNDAI'S N-DAY - TEASES PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC "Hyundai is on a wild streak lately, building high-performance versions of its existing vehicles like the Kona N, revealed today. However, in announcing that sporty compact crossover, the company also teased that it would soon build a full-blown N vehicle based on its all-electric E-GMP platform, indicating that zero-emissions performance will soon be on the menu from Hyundai." says Motor1: " Lessons from the Veloster N ETCR program seem to have informed Hyundai’s high-performance aspirations, evidenced by the RM20e concept that debuted last year. The RM20e prototype, which was developed in partnership with Rimac, boasts a wild 810 horsepower"   https://www.motor1.com/news/503719/hyundai-electric-hydrogen-n-model/   SAMSUNG FIRST US BATTERY FACTORY "Samsung's first megafactory on American soil is looking more likely after it agreed a deal to provide batteries for electric vehicle (EV) startup Rivian. The potential development of a mega-plant in the US would represent a massive step forward for Samsung SDI — the battery affiliate of the South Korean tech giant — which to date only has one facility outside of Asia, in Hungary." says Business INsider: "While Rivian has yet to reveal its production targets, Bloomberg reports that the company will try to produce as many as 40,000 new EVs in its first year with that figure eventually rising to 300,000."   Simon Moores, managing director at research group Benchmark Mineral Intelligence: "At a production rate of 40,000 EVs a year, Rivian will need over 7 gigawatt-hours of lithium-ion battery cells annually. If all of this supply is from Samsung that's the equivalent of 12% of the Korean battery maker's annual capacity in 2020. Any multi-gigawatt-hour contract with an automaker will need a plant on the same continent"   Moores said that shipping large quantities of lithium batteries over long distances was "difficult" and that they were registered as hazardous goods.   https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-first-us-megafactory-battery-rivian-2021-4?r=US&IR=T   QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM   Whats the most effective consumer education regarding EVs?   Email me your thoughts and I’ll read them out on Sunday – hello@evnewsdaily.com     It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER) RICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UK (PREMIUM PARTNER) eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PREMIUM PARTNER)     DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY FROM MILLBROOK COTTAGES – 5* GOLD SELF CATERING COTTAGES (PARTNER) DARIN MCLESKEY FROM DENOVO REAL ESTATE (PARTNER) JUKKA KUKONEN FROM WWW.SHIFT2ELECTRIC.COM RAJEEV NARAYAN (PARTNER) IAIN SEAR (PARTNER)   ADRIAN BOND (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREW GREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDY NANCARROW AND LILIAN KASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BLUNDERBUSS JONES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRISTOPHER BARTH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DC EV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ED CORTREEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERIC HANSEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEINRICH LIESNER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAVIER CARMELO DÍAZ PÉREZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JOHN SCHROEDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHANIEL FREEDMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAYMOND ROWLEDGE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROBERT GRACE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   TESLA Q1 EARNINGS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW "A look at Tesla's operating metrics and financials shows a growth stock in its purest form. In addition to its skyrocketing vehicle deliveries and revenue, vehicle production, megawatts of solar deployments, and megawatt-hours of energy storage installations all soared 76%, 163%, and 71% year over year, respectively, in Q1. " says Fool.com: "However, if you were to exclude the $299 million stock-based compensation awarded to CEO Elon Musk during the quarter for the achievement of a market capitalization and operational milestone, Tesla would have been profitable even without regulatory credits. Tesla also noted that its Model Y production rate at its factories in Shanghai and California is improving. On a similar note, management said construction of its factories in Berlin and Texas is on track for vehicle production and deliveries from the factories to start late this year."   https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/27/tesla-q1-earnings-what-you-need-to-know/   TESLA TURNS A RECORD PROFIT DESPITE NEW MODEL S/X DELAY "Tesla generated $10.4 billion in sales the first quarter, and recorded a $438 million profit. That’s basically double the revenue it generated in the first quarter of 2020, when Tesla had to temporarily shut down its factory in China due to the earliest outbreaks of the coronavirus. It’s also the most profit Tesla’s ever made in a quarter." says The Verge: "This is the seventh quarter in a row that Tesla has turned a profit, though the company was once again buoyed by selling emissions credits to other automakers. Tesla said Monday that it sold a record $518 million worth of regulatory credits, meaning that it would’ve finished the quarter in the red without them."   https://www.theverge.com/2021/4/26/22404198/tesla-q1-results-earnings-profit-model-s-x-y-3-bitcoin-delay   DELIVERIES OF THE NEW MODEL S SHOULD START VERY SHORTLY " Tesla wrote in its Q1 2021 report that the new Model S is coming "very shortly." Production of both the Model S and Model X was stopped for a couple of months (none were made in Q1) due to a major refresh. The company was expected to already produce and deliver the new Model S, but some undisclosed challenges affected the launch. From the brief info we can expect that we are now perhaps just weeks from the first customer deliveries" reports InsideEVs: "The Model S/X launch delay was not explained in details, but it seems that the upgrade was more challenging than expected, at least partially related to the "the ongoing global supply shortage. One of the most interesting notes was that the new Model S and Model X - according to Musk (via Teslarati), "are actually cheaper to produce." That's would be a major boost to margins as the prices of the top Model S/X Plaid are much higher than before."   https://insideevs.com/news/503704/tesla-models-deliveries-start-shortly/     TESLA STAYS QUIET ON SEMI PROGRESS "The company provided no updates on the long-delayed Semi tractor, saying only it is “in the background.”  It is also looking for help from suppliers that make battery cells as it works on its own advanced 4680 cell whose energy density is expected to increase driving range between charging. Full production of the advanced cells are 12-18 months away, CEO Elon Musk said" says Freight Waves: "The Austin Gigafactory is expected to eventually produce the Semi. Tesla has hundreds of orders for the truck, first shown as a prototype in 2017. It was originally slated for production in 2019, but that date has slipped several times. Media reports suggest the company could build a small number of Semi models at the Tesla gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada, to fulfill an order for Pepsi Co.’s Frito-Lay distribution center in Northern California. Frito-Lay said as much in a recent sustainability report touting its environmental gains.|"   Elon: “This is not being done to the exclusion of suppliers. It is done in conjunction with suppliers. We have good relationships with CATL, Panasonic and LG,” he said on an earnings call Monday evening. “Supply us with as much as you possibly can. Provided the price is affordable, we will buy everything you can make.”   https://www.freightwaves.com/news/tesla-mum-on-semi-progress-as-it-posts-record-income   TESLA SOLD BITCOIN IN Q1 FOR PROCEEDS OF $272M "Tesla sold some of its bitcoin stash in the first quarter for $272 million in proceeds. The sale trimmed Tesla’s position by 10%, Tesla CFO Zach Kirkhorn said on an earnings call Monday." says Yahoo! Finance: "Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company purchased $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin in February. Kirkhorn said on the call that Tesla invested in bitcoin to earn yield on its excess cash in a low-interest-rate environment. While the company continues to deal with global supply chain crunches like semiconductor shortages or ship port capacity, he said the bitcoin market is a liquid market with an optimistic future."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-sold-bitcoin-q1-proceeds-202359810.html   Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling premium sedan in the world - kinda From the sharehlder letter: "About three and a half years into its production, and even without a European factory, Model 3 was the best-selling premium sedan in the world, outselling long-time industry leaders such as the 3 Series and E Class. This demonstrates that an electric vehicle can be a category leader and outsell its gas-powered counterparts. We believe Model Y can become not just a category leader, but also the best-selling vehicle of any kind globally."   Mercededs C Class? Audi A4?   From 180k cars, looks like 120k is 3 so that's 60k for Y.   TESLA'S FULL SELF-DRIVING SUBSCRIPTION IS COMING SOON "Kirkhorn confirmed this during Tesla's Q1 2021 earnings call Monday, saying the company was waiting on just a couple of internal technical issues but that the feature should be launched very soon. Beyond that, he said that a subscription model for FSD would likely offer a great deal of recurring revenue potential, which seems likely." says CNET: "Of course, we don't know what Tesla would charge on a per month basis for the service, but we'd hazard a guess that it would likely represent a substantial chunk of an average buyer's monthly car payment"   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/tesla-full-self-driving-subscription-service-coming-soon/   ELON MUSK SAYS: "INSANE DIFFICULTIES" FOR TESLA "Elon Musk told investors during the Tesla's quarterly earnings call that the automaker has been forced to reckon with numerous supply chain issues in 2021. Musk said the company has had "insane difficulties" with its supply chain over the last quarter.  "We've had some of the most difficult supply-chain challenges that we've ever experienced in the life of Tesla," he said on Monday." according to Business Insider: "In February, Tesla briefly halted production on its Model 3 at its car assembly plant in California, citing supply-chain issues caused by backlogs at ports and severe snowstorms slowing down ground deliveries.  The global semiconductor shortage has wreaked havoc on tech and automotive companies. "   https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-supply-chain-issues-chip-shortage-insane-difficulties-2021-4?r=US&IR=T   ELON MUSK'S BEST QUOTES   "More likely than not, Model Y will be the best-selling car or truck of any kind in the world in 2022."   "Long term, people will think of Tesla as much as an AI robotics company as we are a car company, or an energy company."   On solar & storage: ""Why don't we do it? The energy basis of the earth is gigantic, super-mega-insanely gigantic. So you can't just go and do 1 zillion terawatts overnight. You've got to build the production capacity for the battery cells, for the solar cells. You've got to put that into vehicles. You've got to put that into storage packs. You've got to put that into solar panels and Solarglass Roofs, and you've got to deploy all this stuff.""   ""Prototypes are trivial, they're child's play. Production at large scale with higher liability and low cost - insanely difficult. Myself and many others at Tesla had to basically have several aneurysms to get this done.""   "We're talking millions of cars, a massive global supply chain, 50 countries, dozens of regulatory regimes. Solving those constraints and logistical problems makes World War II look trivial.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   IONIQ5 YOUTUBE REVIEWS ARE OUT The embargo lifted early this morning for reviews of the new Hyundai IONIQ 5, so let's have a look at the highlights and takeaways from around the web:   Fully Charged - the most gorgeous car i've seen this year. Doesn't look like the crossovers everyone else is making. Acceleration was nice but not staggering.  The adapter to plug in your domestic plug lives under teh floor in the boot. He loved the regen paddles behind the wheel, the cliky buttons, the style of the interior is like driving an Apple Store. And he has a fight with the motorizes charging flap.   Jonny Smith - likes the 3 metres wheelbase, more than a Range Rover. Loves the flat floor, no rear wiper because the aero pushes the water off, 800v, the augmented HUD, said he's strugling to find fault with it. The 155mph top speed not a problem. Worth watching just to see what he powers from the car.   WhatCar? - likes the twin screens, the charge to 80% in 18 minutes, their version of Nissan's e-Pedal is the i-Pedal.   nextmove - loves the pixel lights, self-presentign door handles, he showed the internal plug socket which the UK ones didn't, he showed off the key which had buttons for forward and back. aka Tesla Summon. But he charges it on IONITY, charging at 223kW at 50%!   HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 THRASHES COMPETITORS AT CHARGING "Unlike the previous artificial example, this time we can take a look at charging results of Hyundai Ioniq 5 from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SOC) in South Korea on April 20, 2021, at an outside temperature of 19°C and the battery temperature of 15°C (initial, we guess)." says InsideEVs: "The charging curve is quite complex, with multiple sharp increases and decreases along the way. It starts at about 115 kW at 10% SOC, at 14-15% SOC it increases to about 187 kW, and then again to 220 kW at 29-30% SOC. The peak range is quite wide: between 30 to 51%. The peak value of more than 225 kW appears to be reached around 51% SOC, but then power quickly decreases (maybe due to too high temperature of the battery cells) to "just" 120 kW at 52-54%. Once the temperature stabilizes (we guess), the charging power increased once again to 170 kW. By 79-80% it decreases to around 130 kW."   https://insideevs.com/news/503522/hyundai-ioniq5-fast-charging-analysis/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=RSS-all-articles   RIMAC SHOWS OFF C_TWO HYPERCAR ACCELERATION They say it will be the fastest accelerating production car in the world.  They did 10 launches, going from 80% to 60% over those runs.   "The fully homologated road-going prototype was put to the test in quarter-mile runs and managed to complete the task in 8.95 seconds at 156.1 mph (251.2 km/h) after doing 0-60 mph in 2.42 seconds in the very first outing with the tires still cold. Following several trial runs, the first proper quarter-mile sprint took only 8.94 seconds at 155.1 mph (249.7 km/h)." writes Motor1.com: "When a company's CEO says a 0 to 60 mph run in 2.33 seconds is "quite bad," you know that car is going to be an absolute rocket. After all, Rimac has previously said the production model will do the job in 1.85 seconds on its way to a top speed of 258 mph (412 km/h) thanks to a whopping 1,914 horsepower (1,408 kilowatts) and 1,696 pound-feet (2,300 Newton-meters) of torque."   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXe4X3rYIPw   TESLA EARNINGS CALL PREVIEW. Tesla earning call late and night and into the early morning for me, so that will all be on Tuesday's podcast. Their Q1 production and delviery numbres confirmed they delviered 184,800 and producer over 180,000 vehicles from Jan to Mar. Model S and MOdel X absence. No sign of the presenation of Elon Musk promised within a week, that was in January. Deliveries were due to start Feb/Mar and they're showing as July.  Not the first EV maker to face delays and won't be the last.   https://electrek.co/2021/04/26/tesla-tsla-q1-2021-earnings-preview-expectations/   RIVIAN UPDATE WEBSITE WITH Q&A Rivian R1T deliveries are on track to start in June, that's only just over a month away, and now they've updated their website to help the customer experience. They've called it...Experience! You can get info on the purchasing process, charging, service, and evne their own insurance product.   https://rivian.com/experience   THIS VW ID.4 IS CHALLENGING THE BAJA PENINSULA "Volkswagen is fielding its newest ID.4 electric crossover in the National Off-Road Racing Association (NORRA) Mexican 1000 race in the Mexican Baja peninsula. Most people are not aware that a Meyers Manx – an off-road dune buggy based on the iconic VW Beetle – won the inaugural NORRA Mexican 1000 back in 1967. And now, it’s the VW ID. 4’s turn to prove its merits in the harsh Mexican terrain." reports SlashGear: " It starts with a stock 2021 VW ID.4 1st Edition model with a single rear-mounted 201-horsepower electric motor and an 82 kWh battery pack. Next, the wizards at Rhys Millen Racing gave it a set of rally-style coilover struts, tubular lower front control arms, and boxed lower rear links.

It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   RIVIAN’S 7 DAY, 1,000 MILE RETURN POLICY "As it prepares to make its very first deliveries of the R1T pickup this coming June, upstart EV automaker Rivian is also taking a few pages out of Tesla’s playbook. That includes opening a handful of showrooms across the U.S. (one of which has prompted a lawsuit), launching its own insurance company, offering online ordering, touchless delivery, and mobile service, and now, Rivian has announced that it will also give buyers a generous return policy that spans seven days or 1,000 miles." reports FordAuthority.com: "This is identical to Tesla’s seven-day, 1,000-mile return policy that was offered until last fall when it mysteriously disappeared from the automaker’s website. Presumably, Tesla determined that it no longer needed to provide this extra bit of peace of mind to its consumers, but Rivian is in a different boat. The Ford- and Amazon-backed upstart hasn’t delivered a single vehicle yet and needs to assure customers that they have a way out if things go horribly wrong."   https://fordauthority.com/2021/04/rivian-will-offer-7-day-1000-mile-return-policy-at-launch/   PORSCHE PLANS EV BATTERY CELL FACTORY IN GERMANY " Porsche is speeding up its e-mobility drive with plans for a German factory to manufacture battery cells for electric vehicles, CEO Oliver Blume told a German newspaper." says Automotive News Europe: "European automakers are looking to reduce their dependence on Asian manufacturers as they ramp up production of electric cars to meet tougher environmental rules in the European Union. Porsche will purchase EV batteries from its parent company Volkswagen Group which plans to build half a dozen battery cell plants across Europe. Existing battery suppliers are focusing on volume so that more specialized needs such as Porsche's are falling to the back of the line"   CEO Oliver Blume: "Battery cells are a key technology for Germany's automobile industry which we must also have in our own country, Porsche wants to play a pioneering role in this.But there will also be a segment for high-performance battery cells, it's a Porsche domain. Just as we developed high-performance internal combustion engines, we now want to be at the forefront of high-performance batteries."   InsideEVs Speculates: "At this point, there are no details about the investment, but we can make some assumptions. For sure there might be battery chemistries that offer higher energy density and power density than in the case of mainstream/premium cars, but they come at a higher cost.  Moreover, there might be battery formats (cell type) that offer better performance but are not used due to higher manufacturing costs. Another path might be cells designed from the beginning for integration with the vehicle as a structural component."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/porsche-plans-ev-battery-cell-factory-germany   https://insideevs.com/news/503384/porsche-plans-battery-plant-germany/   WORLD'S LARGEST MOTORCYCLE MARKET WILL START USING EV SCOOTERS "Motorcycle makers have made some splashy announcements about the effort to electrify bikes, but nowhere near as many as carmakers have. Bike makers are taking a slow and steady approach to electrification, but Gogoro and Hero MotoCorp are now teaming up to bring EV scooters to the biggest two-wheel market of all." says Jalopnik: "Gogoro’s battery-swapping network and electric scooters are coming to India under a partnership with Hero, a name you may recognize as one of the world’s biggest bike makers. We may be well on the way to EV bikes! Gogoro, which estimates that there are currently “225 million gas-powered two-wheel vehicles” in the country."   https://jalopnik.com/the-worlds-largest-motorcycle-market-will-start-using-e-1846752188   UK REPLACES FRANCE AS EUROPE’S SECOND LARGEST ELECTRIC CAR MARKET "The UK overtook France to become Europe’s second largest electric car market in the first quarter of the year, amid rising demand for cars with zero exhaust emissions." reports the Guardian: "About 31,800 battery electric cars were sold in the UK in the first three months of the year, compared with 30,500 in France, according to analysis by Matthias Schmidt, an independent automotive analyst. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, 2020 was the first year in which European consumers bought more than half a million electric cars. That is expected to double to 1m sales in 2021, although pure electrics will still be only a tenth of the total European car market by 2024. Germany is by far the biggest single market for battery electric cars in Europe, with 64,700 sold in the first quarter. That performance was helped in part by generous subsidies."   https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/apr/25/uk-replaces-france-as-europe-second-largest-electric-car-market   VOLKSWAGEN SURVEY SHOWS AMERICAN SUV OWNERS AND SHOPPERS READY TO EMBRACE EVS Volkswagen of America announced today the results of a new survey that found that momentum and consideration of EVs is growing sharply with American SUV owners and shoppers, along with appreciation of their environmental benefit of no direct emissions, despite many of them having no experience of driving an electric vehicle. To gauge the appetite for electric vehicles, the new survey polled 1,000 SUV owners and 500 SUV shoppers in the United States—who are looking to purchase one in the next six months—and found that overall, more than 70% had never had the chance to drive an EV. Yet, 65% of owners and 76% of shoppers are more interested in EVs than they were a year ago. Almost half of owners (45%) and nearly six in 10 shoppers (58%) say they are likely to buy an EV the next time they purchase a vehicle.   https://www.automotiveworld.com/news-releases/volkswagen-survey-shows-american-suv-owners-and-shoppers-ready-to-embrace-evs/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERS   We were asking: would you buy a Chinese made EV?   Would you buy a Chinese-made EV?   ADRIAN BOND OF COLCHESTER EVS I think it depends more on the reputation of the manufacture than the country.  If the MG ZS EV had been out in the U.K. when we were ditching our ‘Self Charging Hybrid’ (calm down...) Mk2 Prius a few years ago, we wouldn’t have bought our PHEV Outlander.   MG China had already shown they could build quality vehicles at reasonable prices and the MG ZS EV is a great SUV. And if they build an MG TF EV, an EV version of a  great convertible that they already have the tooling for, I’d fight to be first in the queue.  And after all, a lot of the components used to make EVs are from China anyway, just that final assembly is elsewhere.   Thanks again for the great shows!   STEVE JOHN Would I buy a Chinese EV? I am the proud driver of a Polestar 2, and loving every minute of it

It's fitting that in Paris, the home of the landmark 2015 Climate Agreement, sports contribution to addressing the evolving climate crisis was one of the standout discussions during the inaugural Global Sports Week.More than that, it was a chance to discover how major sporting institutions like the International Olympic Committee and a major events like the Paris 2024 Olympic Games could work with commercial or strategic partners to find solutions to the environmental challenges we are all facing.As the senior sustainability manager for the IOC, Julie Duffus is seeing first hand how climate change is severely impacting the sports associated with the Games, and how international sports federations and National Olympic Committees are adapting to meet the challenges.Nicoletta Piccolrovazzi, the global technology and sustainability director for Dow Olympic & Sport Solutions, has been working with the IOC on its carbon mitigation programme and on the implementation of sustainable technologies at the Games.During this podcast, Duffus and Piccolrovazzi discuss the growing partnership between the IOC and Dow, what they have achieved together thus far, and how they plan to face future challenges. As a Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympics – and the largest energy company in France – EDF will have a big part to play if the Games is to fulfill its ambitious aim of halving the carbon emissions generated by previous modern Summer Olympics, and achieve climate neutrality.The company's chief sustainability officer, Carine de Boissezon, explains EDF's acceleration towards renewable energy, and demonstrates an extensive sports partnership portfolio, in which it is helping sports like kayaking, swimming and football transition away from fossil fuels.
