On today's episode of Period Story, I'm so pleased to share my conversation with Rachel Burgess, the owner of the Rachel Burgess Bridal Boutique, which she opened 10 years ago to celebrate handmade Welsh bridal wear and accessories. Rachel is truly inspiring and I'm so grateful that she opened up and shared her story. After a routine scan to follow up from a hip operation when she was 22, the results found that there was a cyst making a home on Rachel's right ovary, which was surgically removed. In 2018, after another routine check up on the remaining left ovary it was clear that another cyst was forming so that too was removed, leaving Rachel with 30% of a working ovary. Rachel just had her first period in five years and we talk about this and her evolving view of womanhood, post-surgery. And of course, Rachel shared the story of her first period. Thank you, Rachel!A transcript is available on www.periodstorypod.comGet in touch:Tweet and IG @periodstorypodEmail periodstorypod@gmail.comGet in touch with Rachel:WebsiteInstagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Please note this interview is from July 2020. Young people have suffered the largest increases in unemployment, and the biggest falls in jobs, since the start of the pandemic. COVID has the potential to leave a whole generation of people behind, creating an entire generation who will be battling to rise above poverty. Throughout this pandemic unions have been fighting to protect worker's rights and safety at work. Worker solidarity is essential to sustainable post COVID economic recovery. Joining us in conversation this morning to discuss how the pandemic has severely impacted young workers and the importance of unions in their future, we would like to welcome to the show, Bella Himmelreich, and Rachel Burgess from the Young Workers Centre with Unions ACT Bella Himmelreich is an organiser and Administration Officer at the Young Workers Centre in Canberra, and a student at the ANU. She is passionate about getting young people active in their local communities and fighting collectively for a better future. Rachel Burgess is the Outreach Coordinator and organiser at the Young Workers Centre in Canberra, and is also a student at the ANU. She is studying economics and policy studies and is interested in working alongside others to organise better outcomes for young people.

Welcome to the pilot episode of the Autocar Podcast, or Autopod, or whatever we opt to call it. This is Episode Zero - and it's our awards special. So join your hosts Rachel Burgess and Matt Prior as they run through the week's biggest news, and reviews, and then the 2020 Autocar Awards, including an exclusive, in-depth interview with Volvo Car Group's CEO, Håkan Samuelsson. And let us know what you think. Then, sometime later, join us for the actual real-life Episode One.

If you're a regular listener, you'll recognise the wonderful woman that is Rachel Burgess from series one of the She can. She did. podcast! As the Founder of the Rachel Burgess Bridal Boutique in Penarth, Wales, Rachel is the Queen of championing Welsh designers and allowing brides from all over the UK to do bridal their way.(As it happens, she's actually just married her long-term partner Jon after the two threw a surprise wedding for friends and family in what said friend and family believed was a party to celebrate the fact that the two had been together for fifteen years! A story, which the hopeless romantic in me can't get enough of!)Anyway, when I caught up with Rachel on Friday afternoon via Zoom last week, it was the fourth Friday in a row that she was preparing for a weekend away from the boutique for the first time since launching her business eight years ago... With the boutique closed until further notice and her brides that were due to wed in the coming weeks forced to postpone, I caught up with Rachel to find out how she's coping behind the scenes so far and of course how she's adapted her plans for the boutique going forward... The She can. She did. podcast is hosted by Fiona Grayson (that's me, hello!) and this bonus series is sponsored by Tide Business Current Accounts.

Amy chats to Rachel Burgess about opening her bridal shop in Wales. Rachel talks about living but the sea, enjoying the independent community in Penarth and why she changed from working as a stage manager to becoming a bridal boutique owner. Is self-care essential for business owners? Rachel thinks so!   https://www.rachelburgessbridalboutique.com/  

As a farmers daughter born and raised on a free-range chicken farm in Aberystwyth, Rachel was raised to appreciate the importance of knowing where a product comes from, the value of supporting your local community and staying true to your morals in business. Over a fancy platter of pastries in her beautiful home at the start of May (what a legend, I know), the two of us sat down to discuss the serendipitous encounter that led her to leave her job in theatre aged twenty-five and set up her dream company (formerly knows as the Rachel Burgess Bridal Boutique) despite being dyslexic, having no business degree or even a maths GCSE to her name. Of course, we also discuss the many trials and tribulations that she's overcome behind the scenes since then too... She can.

Show #438   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 9th April 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today, and picked out the best ones to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   PININFARINA BATISTA SHOWS UP WITH 1,900 HP IN LONDON "Ahead of its full UK debut at Goodwood this weekend, the Pininfarina Battista headed to London to launch the capital’s new ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ). The Battista, Pininfarina‘s first full car production effort, will enter production next year with deliveries starting towards the end of that year. That will be just a few months before London‘s ULEZ extends to the whole of Greater London." reports Dominic Wilde for InsideEVs.com: "A Rimac-supplied 120 kWh battery pack helps deliver 874 bhp and 1,694 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to rocket it from 0-60 in less than two seconds, to 186 mph in under 12 seconds, and onto a top speed of 218 mph. Range almost 300 miles, which is enough for a non-stop drive from London to Paris"   Michael Perschke, CEO, Automobili Pininfarina: "“The Battista is a truly beautiful, guilt-free hypercar – the first EV to really fall in love with – because electricity enables us to develop it with zero emissions and as the most powerful car that will have ever been designed and built in Italy. As London joins many cities in moving towards a more sustainable future, we hope that the Battista also inspires a generation to consider electric cars, not just through the benefits of zero emissions, but also through the beauty and the performance that electrification offers.”   https://insideevs.com/pininfarina-batista-shows-up-with-1900-hp-in-london/   FORMULA E OFFERS SUPPORT TO MOTOE AFTER FIRE "ABB FIA Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag says he has offered support to the organisers of the MotoE championship after a pre-season fire destroyed its fleet of electric bikes." reports Alex Kalinaukas for Motorsport.co: "The incident, which was caused by a short circuit that ignited a high-density battery in a charging point, at the Jerez circuit last month caused the inaugural MotoE season to be delayed until July. Agag said he reached out “just to show my solidarity to them” as a fellow electric motorsport series." Alejandrop told Autosport: "I sent a message to the guys from Dorna the next day saying that if they need our help, we’re here to help. We’ve done 50 races [with] not one single incident, not one single short circuit. But this takes a lot of work, a lot of experience, a lot of effort to make sure everything works."   https://www.motorsport.com/motoe/news/formulae-offers-support-jerez-fire/4365118/   NEW RENAULT ZOE WON’T BE ALL-NEW, JUST A HEAVY REDESIGN INSTEAD "According to Renault design boss Laurens van den Acker, the upcoming new Renault ZOE will be a “heavy phase two design rather than a new car from the ground up,” reports Mark Kane today for InsideEVs.com. Rachel Burgess for Autocar says: "Pricing for the new Zoe is a long way off being announced, but it's likely Renault will try to keep at the same level to sustain its popularity as one of the most affordable EVs on the market. The new Zoe is expected to use a bespoke EV platform shared across the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance. That's instead of sharing its platform with the current Nissan Leaf, which uses an adapted version of the original 2011 Leaf's platform. The bespoke electric platform, which will be used for all forthcoming small to medium-sized EVs, will allow greater battery capacity for a range target of 250 miles under the new, more real-world WLTP testing regime. That's a match for the latest Zoe R110's NEDC range claim, which is claimed to be around 190 miles in the real-world."   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-renault-zoe-ev-be-heavy-phase-two-design   H-D GETTING READY FOR THE LIVEWIRE WITH NEW CHARGING STATIONS The first of two stories coming to us via RideApart.com. "Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire electric motorcycle will be available for purchase nationwide beginning this August. They're already taking deposits. Harley has been busy installing Electric Vehicle charging stations at its dealerships. The LiveWire sports an SAE Combo CCS charging connector, which is the same as many American and European electric vehicles: Chevy’s Bolt and Spark, the BMW i3 and several electric Volkswagens and Mercedes. The LiveWire has a pricetag starting at $29,799, has a 140-mile city range and the capacity for a Level 3 charger, which means it will charge from a depleted battery to full in an hour or less. And Harley-Davidson wants you to spend that hour, of course, in one of its dealerships, checking out all the other bikes as well as the accessories available for your LiveWire."   https://www.rideapart.com/articles/316318/harley-davidson-installing-charging-stations/   Meanwhile Sabrina at RideApart.com picks up on the noise a Harley makes: "The beauty of a silent, electric motorcycle is that it leaves a blank canvas of sound to be painted with your own colors. This is at least what Harley-Davidson believes in. The company addressed early concerns about the Livewire “not having a typical Harley sound” by promising its first electric model will have a signature sound nonetheless. We now know that the Milwaukee brand will actually dive into its history to give the Livewire a truly unique sound. In fact, the company confirmed that the model will come equipped with a customizable note function and a variety of engine sounds to choose from, accessible via the onboard computer. The system will use a compact “engine sound system” that will use two speakers located on the tail of the bike to produce the artificial engine sound. The system will be synched with the throttle input, which means the bike will mimic the sound of an engine at idle and increase the “revolutions” as soon as the throttle is twisted."   https://www.rideapart.com/articles/316258/harley-livewire-customizable-engine-sound/   CCW REBUILDS OVER 50 DIESEL BUSES TO ELECTRIC, OFFERS 466 KWH PACKS "Complete Coach Works (CCW), headquartered in Riverside, California took a different path of electrifying buses – instead of offering new electric buses, they are rebuilding existing diesel buses to electric drive. Operators can literally convert their existing fleet or purchase newly refurbished buses from CCW’s inventory and reportedly save money compared to brand new vehicles." says nsideEVs.com today: "So far, CCW deployed more than 50 Zero Emission Propulsion System (ZEPS) in the U.S., which covered over 3 million revenue miles (on average roughly 60,000 miles per bus). One of the customers operates 30 ZEPS buses."   https://insideevs.com/ccw-rebuild-diesel-buses-to-electric/   GERMAN PROSECUTORS FIND COLLUSION BETWEEN AUTOMAKERS OVER DIESEL EMISSIONS "European anti-trust regulators say they have found collusion among German automakers to avoid cleaning up tailpipe emissions. On Friday, anti-trust regulators for the European Union charged BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen with colluding to block the introduction of effective diesel and gasoline emissions technology." says Green Car Reports: "Volkswagen has already paid $1.2 billion in fines in Germany over its diesel emissions shortfalls. BMW and Daimler have paid $9.5 million. All three automakers have shifted their focus from developing new diesels to spending billions of dollars to develop electric cars and build up supplies of batteries to power them. EU regulators said the new charges are not related to emissions cheat devices. but to failing to offer the latest, most effective emissions reduction technologies to European consumers (for both gas and diesel engines.)"   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1122486_german-prosecutors-find-collusion-between-automakers-over-diesel-emissions   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Monday 2nd July edition of EV News Daily. It’s Martyn Lee here with the news you need to know about electric cars and the move towards sustainable transport.   "I THINK WE JUST BECAME A REAL CAR COMPANY" The latest numbers for Quarter 2 have been confirmed from the investor relations portal at ir.tesla.com so let's dive into them, and have a think about what it means. Plus in a minute or two, I'll reveal the exact number of Model 3 reservation holders still on the list - and I'll tell you why I has to ask Ride The Lightning’s Ryan McCaffery first - but more on that in a mo. Stay with me. The first clarification I wanted to make today was just to counter all those articles today which said the 5k Model 3 achievement was simply a burst rate and couldn't be replicated. Whilst you might understand if this week staff took a day or two R&R, and maybe that went down to 4.5k, the hardware is there to hit that number. Maybe a supplier is late with something and that slows you down, but General Assembly is built. So that argument doesn't make sense. And it's fair to say that in the past Tesla has taken a one day rate of production and multiplied by 7 to get a theoretical week, but I don't think that point was made very clear by many websites today. So a reminder the 5k figure is how many Model 3's they made last week. Reuters have a couple of quotes: "“It was pretty hectic,” said one worker who described the atmosphere as “all hands on deck.” Another worker speaking after the 5,000th car was made described the factory as a “mass celebration". One worker told Reuters that, to meet the goal, employees from other departments were dispatched to parts of the Model 3 assembly line to keep it running constantly, and breaks were staggered “so the line didn’t stop moving.” On Twitter I asked Domenick at InsideEVs how many the final number was, because their monthly sales scorecard is the best out there in terms of accuracy. The answer is 5,031 Model 3's and 1,913 Model S and X vehicles. So Domenick that you for your reply. According to Tesla: "Q2 production totalled 53,339 vehicles, a 55% increase from Q1, making it the most productive quarter in Tesla history by far. For the first time, Model 3 production (28,578) exceeded combined Model S and X production (24,761), and we produced almost three times the amount of Model 3s than we did in Q1. Our Model 3 weekly production rate also more than doubled during the quarter, and we did so without compromising quality." "GA4, our new General Assembly line for Model 3, was responsible for roughly 20% of Model 3s produced last week, with quality from that line being as good as our regular GA3 line. We expect that GA3 alone can reach a production rate of 5,000 Model 3s per week soon, but GA4 helped to get us there faster and will also help to exceed that rate." "Tesla expects to increase production to 6,000 Model 3s per week by late next month. We also reaffirm our guidance for positive GAAP net income and cash flow in Q3 and Q4, despite negative pressures from a weaker USD and likely higher tariffs for vehicles imported into China as well as components procured from China." And now onto how many Model 3 reservations there are outstanding. I'm no Tesla expert, because this podcast covers all markets and all car makers, so when you want really in depth knowledge I'd always say your go-to shows are Ryan McCaffery's Ride The Lightning coming up on it's 3rd birthday, and Trevor from Model 3 Owners Club, and Rob from Tesla Daily for things like the financial side. So Tesla revealed the exact number of outstanding Model 3 reservation holders, and it's something I’ve only ever heard in vague numbers before. So I asked the expert and Ryan for whether Tesla have done this before? "Hey Martyn. Not quite the first time, but you're right that they've kept it close to the vest, mostly. I believe last quarter they had mentioned that they still had ~450k reservations. The reduction now is obviously because they've delivered a bunch of cars. Cheers!" "The remaining net Model 3 reservations count at the end of Q2 still stood at roughly 420,000 even though we have now delivered 28,386 Model 3 vehicles to date."   MAGNA CEO SEE EV FUTURE I'm a huge fan of the Jaguar I-PACE and it's being made by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. Don Walker is CEO of Magna International, the largest North American auto parts supplier, and has been talking to News Editor of Autonews.com Lindsay Chappell: "We've been working on electric vehicles for at least 10 years now. We proposed the electric Focus to Ford 10 years ago and worked with them to develop it. It wasn't a ground-up electric vehicle, but we took out the internal combustion engine componentry and made it a pure electric vehicle. We took the lead on bringing that vehicle to market. We also worked with Volvo about eight years ago to create an electric rear-axle drive. And we've also signed a contract to develop an electric vehicle for Volkswagen in China. We bring that project the motors, the software, the electronics, the controller, the gearbox. So we have many years of expertise.   http://canada.autonews.com/article/20180702/CANADA01/307029993/walker-guides-magna-deeper-into-ev-tech   FORD TAPS EV EXPERT TO BE NEW BOSS FOR AUSTRALIA, NZ "US auto giant Ford Motor Company has signalled the start of a new chapter for its business in Australia, with the appointment of a global electric vehicle executive, Kay Hart, to head up operations Down Under." according to Aussie website reneweconomy.com.au: "In what could only be good news for Australia’s flagging EV market, Ford announced on Monday that Hart – who was most recently the auto-maker’s global BEV (battery electric vehicle) manager, distribution & digital experience – had been named president and CEO, Ford Australia and New Zealand."   NISSAN SCRAPS POTENTIAL $1 BLN SALE OF BATTERY UNIT TO CHINA'S GSR "Nissan Motor has cancelled a potential $1 billion sale of its electric car battery unit to China's GSR Capital. Japan's second-biggest automaker said the Chinese investment firm lacked the funds to make the purchase. The deal could not be closed by the June 29 deadline, Nissan said, ending a process which had faced several delays since its announcement almost a year ago." according to Nasdaq.com: "In August, Nissan had announced its plan to sell Automotive Energy Supply Corp, which includes battery plants in the United States, England and Japan, for an undisclosed sum. A source told Reuters at the time that GSR had agreed to pay Nissan a total of $1 billion for the deal. A Nissan spokesman said that the company still intends to sell the subsidiary, but declined to comment on whether GSR could still be a prospective buyer."   https://www.nasdaq.com/article/nissan-scraps-potential-1-bln-sale-of-battery-unit-to-chinas-gsr-20180702-00005   NEXT-GEN VW BEETLE COULD TRANSFORM INTO FOUR-DOOR EV "A revolutionary new Volkswagen Beetle is under consideration and, if given the green light by VW chiefs, it will adopt a battery-powered electric powertrain." reports Rachel Burgess at Autocar.com "The British magazine claims Bischoff has already sketched a possible look for the four-door Beetle successor, but it will take the automaker between two and three years to make a final decision on its production. Before that, Volkswagen will remain focused on launching a series of mainstream electric vehicles." says Motor1.com   EV MYTH BUSTING According to Go Ultra Low, as many as 42% of Brits wouldn’t be sure if they could run a battery-powered car through a car wash. EVs are slower than petrol and diesel cars EVs are more expensive to own EVs aren’t readily available The infrastructure isn’t there   COMMUNITY New members of the EV gang on YouTube   You can listen to all previous 164 episodes of this podcast on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, YouTube, TuneIn, Stitcher, and the blog https://www.evnewsdaily.com/ – remember to subscribe, which means you don’t have to think about downloading the show each day, plus you get it first and free and automatically.

Wednesday 23rd May 2018. First a word for any EV groups meeting up soon. Like the group organised by Mark Goudie (Pron: Gordy) who organises regular EV meet ups with other EV owners here in the UK, so hello to the Northwest England Owners group on Facebook, and all the information you share and conversation you have. Any other groups listening? Let me know I’ll give you a shout.   Mark also opened up the Tezla / Tessla debate – I think I just say what comes naturally BUT apologies to those who insist of Tessla, if I ever say Tezla I’m sorry. From now on I promise to try harder at Tessla.   STUDY PREDICTS INCREASE IN ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES Starting with a study by Statista, reported by RideApart.com and then ono InsideEVs, which is like a russian nested doll of credit I'm giving there, they are forecasting global e-bike sales will reach approximately 40 million units sometime in 2023. That's a huge number, and it starts to make more sense when you realise 35million of the 40million will be in China. But even so, 5 million electric bikes is a big number for North America and Europe. They say: "Unsurprisingly, one of the strongest forces in the entire e-market equation is urban (and suburban) areas. An increasing amount of electric two-wheeler sales are coming from scoot-sharing services like BMW’s DriveNow program, or the San Francisco-based Scoot Network e-scooter sharing offering. Both of these services, in addition to buying large fleets of bikes, also serve as a sort of motorized, two-wheeled test-drive, introducing the non-riding public to life on two-wheels. The number of EV startups risen sharply for the last couple years as well, and signs point to that trend only intensifying."   https://insideevs.com/study-predicts-huge-increase-in-electric-motorcycle-sales-by-2023/?utm_source=bambu&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=industry   RIVIAN TO DEBUT 800-HP ELECTRIC TRUCK AT LA AUTOSHOW Detriot-based electric car startup Rivian Automotive is getting ready to take the stage later this year at the Los Angeles Autoshow and debut the company’s first electric truck. “according to Christian Prenzler for Teslarati. "Rivian is also creating an 800-HP version of the vehicle capable of more than 450 miles of range, making it an SUV having the longest all-electric range on the market" These will serve the popular American consumer truck segment which we don't have in the UK or Europe to such a large extent. It's easy to quote numbers on something not yet made, but they say 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. “It’s stiffer than a supercar,” said CEO RJ Scaringe in speaking with Engadget. “There are only a few cars in the world that are going to be as fast as ours, and we have a large five-passenger truck.” The price they say is in the $50K to $90K region which seems way too cheap for all that performance. Rivian have their factory, the old Mitsubishi plant in Illinois, which they bought in January 2017.   https://www.teslarati.com/rivian-800-hp-electric-truck-la-autoshow/   ADVANCED E-BUSES HIT ROADS QUICKER THAN EVS The latest long-term forecast from Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) shows sales of electric vehicles (EVs), increasing from a record 1.1 million worldwide last year to 11 million in 2025, and then surging 30million by 2030 which cost-parity with combustion is achieved. China will lead this transition, with sales there accounting for almost 50% of the global EV market in 2025 and 39% in 2030. The advance of e-buses will be even more rapid than for electric cars, according to BNEF’s analysis. It shows electric buses in almost all charging configurations having a lower total cost of ownership than conventional municipal buses by 2019. There are already over 300,000 e-buses on the road in China.   https://www.windpowerengineering.com/business-news-projects/advanced-e-buses-to-hit-the-roads-quicker-than-electric-vehicles/   CHINA CUTS CAR TARIFFS "China will cut tariffs on most imported cars to 15 percent from July 1, the finance ministry said on Tuesday following a thaw in trade tensions with the United States" says the UK's Daily Mail. Whilst Bloomberg say: "For Tesla, a tariff cut will provide a boon until they set up local production. Tesla has been working with Shanghai’s government since last year to explore assembling cars in China. China saying that it will allow foreign new-energy vehicle makers to fully own auto factories as early as this year removed a primary hurdle for Elon Musk."   https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-22/china-is-said-to-cut-car-import-duty-in-boost-for-lexus-bmw   http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-5756777/China-says-cut-auto-import-tariffs-July-1.html   MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE COULD END UP BEING EVEN QUICKER Staying with Tesla and it seems Ryan McCaffrey from Ride The Lightning Tesla Podcast has a direct line to Elon - which some superfans of both would probably compare to that old saying about The Pope having a direct line to God. I'm joking. Mostly. However Ryan said on Twitter: It’s probably not *this* simple with manufacturing, but wouldn’t the robot just reach into the red caliper pile on the assembly line for the cars tagged as Performance? In other words, it’s just a different part (in practice if not technically so), not a different process." So he's talking there about the red brake parts seen on other performance models. To which Elon replied: "not promising anything, but we *might* be able to increase Model 3 Performance power output a little" However I think many buyers will be happy to stump up $54,000 for a very quick dual motor Model 3, rather than $78,000 (without Autopilot) for a stupidly quick Model 3. There will be those who always want the fastest, but basic dual motor would do me more than fine.   https://electrek.co/2018/05/22/tesla-model-3-performance-version-higher-power-output-teases-elon-musk/   DS3 DESTINED FOR PARIS MOTOR SHOW Maybe DS are feeling like they're being left out of the EV party because Rachel Burgess in Autocar point out: "DS will reveal the electric DS3 Crossback compact SUV, a rival to the Audi Q2, at the Paris motor show this October ahead of its launch in 2019. The EV variant of the new car, which will run alongside more traditional powertrains, will be available from launch and will offer a range of more than 124 miles on each charge. The urban-focused car is likely to have a 50kWh battery pack. DS product boss Eric Apode told Autocar that "DS has to lead [the electric] innovation" within the PSA Group. "This is also because of pricing. It [electric technology] has to start with premium brands because the prices will be high," he said. "Then, as the pricing decreases, it can go to the other brands."   https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/electric-ds-3-crossback-be-revealed-2018-paris-motor-show   MODEL 3 BRAKE ISSUES WILL BE SORTED SOON Finally on Tesla, Elon Musk has now admitted there was a braking issue with the Model 3. The braking issue was first pointed out by Consumer Reports. He said it can be fixed with a firmware update that the electric car maker will be rolling out in a few days. He said in a reply to Electrek: "Looks like this can be fixed with a firmware update. Will be rolling that out in a few days. With further refinement, we can improve braking distance beyond initial specs. Tesla won’t stop until Model 3 has better braking than any remotely comparable car."   https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/teslas-musk-admits-model-3-braking-issue-promises-fix.html   BP INVESTS $20 MILLION IN FLASH BATTERIES CNBC report on more oil money flowing into electrons: "BP said its venture capital arm was investing in Tel Aviv-based StoreDot as it looks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in its operations. StoreDot develops so-called "flash batteries," lithium-ion batteries that it says can charge electric vehicles in a matter of minutes." "Ultra-fast charging is at the heart of BP's electrification strategy," Tufan Erginbilgic, chief executive of BP's downstream business, said in a statement on Tuesday. "StoreDot's technology shows real potential for car batteries that can charge in the same time it takes to fill a gas tank." The range on their batteries is said to be 300miles but the product won't even start to be commercialised until 2019.   https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/22/bp-invests-in-israeli-battery-startup-storedot.html   NISSAN: VEHICLE TO GRID SERVICES WILL NOT DRAIN EV BATTERIES Finally Nissan Europe chief Gareth Dunsmore has responded to suggestions that V2G, which is being led in many ways by Nissan because of the CHAdeMO connector, and he says: "“It is not draining the battery, it is using the battery to balance the grid. It uses the battery, but it also puts energy into the battery; it is going up and down rather than draining. Draining the battery is not where the value is for the energy company or the customer.” Accoring to The Energyst: Mike Kerslake, UK technical manager for Chinese battery firm BYD, said V2G services for those customers may require a change of service model in terms of battery ownership and management. “Perhaps the vehicle owner doesn’t own the battery, but it is [instead] leased from an energy resources company, who also gets value from the vehicle to grid capability,” said Kerslake. “So there is quite a potential change in the way it works.”   https://theenergyst.com/nissan-vehicle-grid-services-will-not-drain-ev-batteries/     I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.
