The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.​MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.

Det kan jo hende at noen av lytterne våre har hørt om Bjarne Brøndbo før, men det er ikke sikkert at sirkulærøkonomi i bilbransjen er det første de tenker på når de hører navnet hans. Men DDE-vokalisten er faktisk del av et tredjegenerasjons sirkulærøkonomisk eventyr med base i Namsos, nemlig Bil1Din, som pusher grensene for gjenbruk og resirkulering i bilbransjen. Vi tar en prat med Bjarne om hvordan dette prosjektet har utviklet seg fra faren hans startet det i 1977 og til de tre sønnene hans driver det videre i dag, i et forsøk på å industrialisere og profesjonalisere bildemontering og gjenbruk av bildeler. Bjarne forteller om arbeidet med å få de store bilselskapene til å samarbeide med dem om dette, kravene som stilles for at gjenbruk skal være like verdifullt som nye deler, rollen til forsikringsselskapene og rammene rundt sirkulærøkonomi i bilbransjen. Vi snakker besøk fra Toyota, de ulike konkrete måten gjenbruk av bildeler skjer på, hvorfor det er knapphet på VW Golf-lykter og hvordan Bil1Din bruker lean-metodikk for kontinuerlig forbedring. Sveinung drar en Spotify-parallell, Lars Jacob har bilen på verksted mens episoden spilles inn og lurer på om han får nye eller brukte deler og Bjarne gir Toyota hyllest for å være tidlig ute i å samarbeide om gjenbruk. Vi snakker sirkulær bildesign, drar til Paris for å besøke Renault og gleder oss til Den store sirkulærkonferansen i Asker 6. mai, hvor vi møter Bjarne på scenen for å snakke mer om sirkularitet i bilbransjen.

Is regulation slowing down affordable EVs and can iconic small cars help fix it?! In this episode of the Everything Electric Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Fabrice Cambolive, CEO of the Renault brand and Chief Growth Officer, at Renault's Techno Centre outside Paris. They discuss what it will really take to make electric vehicles affordable in Europe; from the rebirth of the Renault Twingo to the regulatory changes shaping the industry. Fabrice reveals that 25% of Renault's engineering capacity is currently focused on navigating shifting European regulations, arguing that greater stability (without compromising safety) would allow manufacturers to concentrate on lowering costs for consumers. The conversation also explores the proposed M1E category for compact EVs under 4.2 metres, potentially Europe's answer to Japan's kei cars, and why Renault has decided to continue pursuing hybrids alongside fully electric models. Finally, Fabrice explains why bringing back icons like the Renault 5, Renault 4, and Twingo is about more than nostalgia and is all about trust, loyalty, and long-term value in an increasingly competitive market (ergo. China..) 00:00 Intro & Welcome 01:42 What does CEO of the Brand mean? 06:08 Why Renault is still thinking about hybrids 08:48 "Pluggable" vs. "Non-pluggable" customers 13:11 The M1E Category: Europe's answer to the Kei car? 15:43 Why regulations drive up EV costs 17:05 Why the Renault Zoe was discontinued 20:52 Reimagining the Twingo 25:24 Leveraging nostalgia and icons 32:17 Renault vs. Dacia: Managing the brand overlap 35:58 The future of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) 41:04 Fabrice's 2026 geopolitical magic wish Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #EverythingElectric #ElectricVehicles #EV #AffordableEV #Renault #Renault5 #Renault4 #Twingo #ElectricCars #EVNews #FutureOfMobility #CleanTransport #SustainableTransport #EuropeanEV #CityEV #SmallCars #EVPolicy #AutoIndustry #MobilityInnovation #EnergyTransition #EVPodcast

La journée mondiale de la langue maternelle a lieu samedi 21 février. En France, souvent par peur des discriminations, un Français issu de l'immigration sur quatre n'a pas appris la langue maternelle de ses parents ou grands-parents, selon une étude de l'institut One Poll. Pourquoi l'héritage linguistique est-il si difficile à transmettre au sein des familles ?  Louise, du haut de ses cinq ans, pétille d'énergie. D'une voix douce, Nasséra, sa grand-mère, parle de son enfance en Kabylie, dans le nord de l'Algérie. C'est dans les bras de sa mère qu'elle rejoint son père ouvrier dans les usines automobiles Renault en France, à l'âge de neuf mois. « Mes deux parents sont Algériens. Mon père est arrivé en 1953 à Paris. C'est la première génération qui a immigré. Il est arrivé bien avant l'indépendance de l'Algérie. Il a commencé donc à apprendre le français par son travail dans les usines automobiles Renault. Après l'indépendance en 1964, il a amené sa femme en France et leur premier enfant qui était moi », se remémore-t-elle. Assises autour de la table de la salle à manger, Sarah, 37 ans, et sa cadette Amina, 31 ans, interrogent leur mère. Pourquoi ne parlent-elles pas la langue de leurs grands-parents, le kabyle ? « J'étais à l'école en France depuis la maternelle. Je me sens plus proche de la langue française que je maîtrise beaucoup mieux. Même si mes parents, eux, me parlaient kabyle, mais moi, je répondais en français. Des fois, on s'interroge avec mon mari : "Mais comment cela se fait qu'on n'a pas transmis ?" Nos enfants ne parlent pas la langue de leurs grands-parents, de leurs origines. Je pense que c'est volontaire de notre part parce qu'on n'a jamais fait l'effort, nous, de parler kabyle à la maison. C'était plus facile pour moi de vous parler français que kabyle », leur raconte Nasséra. « La priorité, c'était l'intégration par l'école. Papa, lui, devait apprendre à parler français grâce à toi. Toi, tu devais gérer une famille de quatre enfants en travaillant aussi. Vous n'avez cessé de nous dire, depuis toutes petites "L'école d'abord, c'est la priorité". Dans une volonté d'avoir une sorte de catalyseur d'intégration par l'école, vous en avez peut-être ''oublié votre kabyle'' », lui répond sa fille. Transmettre une langue, ce n'est pas si simple. La linguiste Christine Deprez s'appuie sur l'exemple des couples mixtes et constate que certaines langues sont plus valorisées que d'autres : « On peut facilement imaginer qu'un couple franco-américain a plus de chances de transmettre sa langue qu'un couple franco-bambara, par exemple. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il y a une valorisation de la langue anglaise dans tous les pays, y compris en France. C'est assez évident que c'est une langue d'avenir, une langue porteuse. Le bambara ne l'est pas, sauf dans une petite communauté un peu élitiste et qui revendique sa culture. La langue bambara n'est pas une langue qui est particulièrement valorisée en France. Si vous demandez aux gens ce que c'est, ils répondent ''C'est un dialecte africain''. Il n'y a pas du tout une perception culturelle positive. Elle peut même être entachée d'une forme de racisme. À la fois un racisme colonial, un racisme ethnique, un racisme religieux, etc. Il y a des gens qui cachent leur langue, mais en général, ce sont les enfants. Ils ne mentionnent pas la langue d'origine. Il ne faut pas se culpabiliser, c'est normal. Peut-être qu'après, dans 20 ans, ils vont avoir envie de l'apprendre. » C'est le cas d'Amina, 31 ans, qui prend des cours de kabyle. Mais sa mère ne l'aide pas dans cet apprentissage. « Je ne l'ai pas sollicitée. Je fais cela dans mon coin avec mes amis sur internet », explique-t-elle. À cinq ans et demi, Louise est contente de dire ses premiers mots dans la langue de ses grands-parents. Entre le kabyle et le français, sa famille l'écoute émerveillée.

In dieser Episode greifen wir einen Fall erneut auf, den wir bereits früher besprochen haben – damals, als noch kein Urteil vorlag: die "Leiche im Kofferraum". Ausgangspunkt ist ein grauer Renault, abgemeldet, ohne Kennzeichen, am Rand eines Wohngebiets in Königswinter‑Eudenbach geparkt. Das Fahrzeug wirkt verlassen und unauffällig – wie eines dieser Autos, die seit Tagen niemand mehr beachtet hat. Was zunächst aussieht wie ein Verkehrsproblem, führt zu Ermittlungen, die am Ende zu hohen Haftstrafen für drei Beteiligte führen: zwei lebenslange Freiheitsstrafen und eine Freiheitsstrafe von 15 Jahren. Wir ordnen den Fall ein, sprechen über die Entwicklungen zwischen erster und zweiter Berichterstattung und darüber, warum er erst unscheinbar erschien und sich dann zu einem der am meisten beachteten Verfahren der vergangenen Jahre entwickelte.

La marca francesa Renault vuelve a mirar a su pasado más radical para impulsar su futuro eléctrico con el impresionante Renault Filante, un prototipo diseñado para batir récords de eficiencia y rendimiento. Este “misil” eléctrico no es solo un ejercicio de ingeniería, sino una declaración de intenciones en plena carrera tecnológica por la electrificación. El Renault Filante recupera el espíritu de los grandes récords históricos de velocidad de la marca, combinando aerodinámica extrema, peso reducido y tecnología eléctrica de última generación. Su objetivo no es tanto la producción en serie como demostrar la capacidad técnica de Renault en baterías, eficiencia energética y diseño orientado al rendimiento máximo. En un momento donde la industria automovilística compite por autonomía, eficiencia y sostenibilidad, el Renault Filante posiciona a la firma francesa como uno de los actores que no renuncian a la emoción. Más allá de cifras y récords, este proyecto conecta pasado y futuro, tradición y electrificación, reforzando la identidad deportiva de Renault en la nueva era del coche eléctrico europeo.

The Workers and Socialist Party, (WASP) has condemned the killing of Abahlali baseMjondolo leader Zweli "Khabazela" Mkhize, who was shot on Thursday evening in eNkanini, Ellandale, Gauteng. Police say two hitmen arrived in a Renault and gunned him down at a friend's home. WASP says Mkhize's death is part of a pattern of violence against Abahlali baseMjondolo leaders and holds the state responsible for creating conditions that enable such attacks.

Nevo reports that the Irish car market has crossed a landmark moment. New figures released by the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show that 7,319 (Up 48.67% on 2025) electric vehicles were registered in January 2026, meaning electric cars officially outsold petrol cars (7,245) for the first time in a single month. It marks a significant acceleration in a trend that has been building steadily over the past number of years. While electrification was once viewed as a long-term ambition, the January data confirms it is now a present-day reality. This is not the first time electric vehicles have overtaken a traditional fuel type. Back in April 2023, EVs outsold diesel cars for the first time on a monthly basis. That moment proved to be a tipping point. By 2025, electric vehicles accounted for 18.9% of all new car sales, while diesel fell to 17.1%, meaning EVs surpassed diesel for the full year as a whole. What makes the January 2026 figures particularly striking is the scale and speed of growth. Ireland registered more electric vehicles in the first 28 days of January (6,0?? units) than in the entire 12 months of 2020, when just 4,013 EVs were sold nationwide. In effect, more than a year's worth of progress has been compressed into just four weeks! This surge has been driven by several converging factors. Public charging infrastructure continues to expand, consumer understanding of electric ownership has improved, and real-world experience has helped dispel many early misconceptions around range and usability. Perhaps most importantly, the long-discussed issue of price is rapidly fading. The arrival of electric family cars priced between €20,000 and €30,000 has effectively burst the so-called pricing myth that EV's are more expensive. In many segments, electric and combustion vehicles now sit at or near price parity. With the reduction in tech and battery prices, many brands now offer entry into EV ownership at sub €20k with real-world range and comfort. For buyers, the decision increasingly comes down not to cost, but to individual needs, driving patterns and lifestyle. Competition has also intensified dramatically. The entrance and rapid growth of Chinese manufacturers such as MG, BYD, XPeng, and, most recently, Leapmotor, have reshaped the market, putting pressure on established brands to be competitive and accelerate innovation. January sales figures by manufacturer place Hyundai firmly in the lead, with Volkswagen and Kia close behind, while BYD and Renault complete the top five best-selling electric brands. Looking at the five best-selling electric vehicles puts the Volkswagen ID.4 on top, followed by the Hyundai Inster, Kia EV3, Hyundai Kona Electric, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The year ahead will see the arrival of many more exciting new electric vehicles. This means together, the data points to a clear conclusion that Ireland is no longer approaching an electric future; it is firmly entering one! "Seeing the total numbers of EVs sold for January is hugely encouraging. At Nevo, we all hope our RDS-based Electric Vehicle Show and our nationwide Driving Experience events have played a small part in these numbers by giving people real, hands-on exposure. Once drivers experience EVs properly, the numbers tend to speak for themselves," said Simon Andreucetti, Managing Director at Nevo "This is genuinely excellent news. It shows Irish motorists are confident, informed, and ready for change! EVs outselling combustion power in a single month isn't symbolic anymore, it's fact. Choice, pricing parity and real-world experience have finally aligned, and the market is moving decisively forward. Our Nevo YouTube channel growth reflects this trend with more people consuming and engaging with our content monthly," added Derek Reilly, Content & PR Director at Nevo.

Opération clandestine à des fins de subversion, c'est une des armes de l'arsenal russe pour faire dérailler les démocraties. L'affaire des mains rouges au printemps 2024 en est un cas d'école. Depuis, d'autres opérations du même type se sont multipliées en Europe. Leur point commun: l'amplification artificielle sur les réseaux sociaux afin d'alimenter la polarisation de la société. Ces manipulations de l'opinion témoignent d'une stratégie russe de plus en plus offensive en Europe.  Retour sur l'affaire des mains rouges, opération clandestine menée en lien avec les services de renseignement militaire russe. Le procès des principaux exécutants a permis de lever le voile sur une partie du dispositif.

This week we talk about the European Union, India, and tariffs.We also discuss trade barriers, free trade, and dumping.Recommended Book: The Kill Chain by Christian BroseTranscriptA free trade agreement, sometimes called a free trade treaty, is a law that reduces the cost and regulatory burden of trading between two or more states.There are many theories as to the ideal way to do international trade, with some economists and politicians positing that complete free and open trade is the way to go, because it allows goods and services to cross borders completely unencumbered, which in turn allows businesses in different countries to really lean into whatever they're good at, selling their cars to countries that are less good at making cars, while that recipient country produces soy beans or computer chips or whatever they're good at making, and sending those in the other direction, likewise unburdened by stiff tariffs or regulatory hurdles. Each country can thus produce the best product cheapest and sell it to the market where their products are in high-demand, while they, in turn, benefit from the same when it comes to other products and services.This theory leans on the idea that everyone is better off when everyone does what they're best at, rather than trying to do everything—specialization. But those who oppose this conception of international trade argue that this creates and reinforces asymmetries between different nations and businesses: a country that's really good at producing soybeans may be at a substantial disadvantage if the country that makes cars ever decides to go to war, because they won't have the existing infrastructure to build tanks or drones or whatever else, while the country that specializes in computer chips might hold all the cards when it comes to generating economic pressure against its enemies or would-be enemies, because such chips are in everything these days, from military hardware to kitchen appliances.This also creates potential frailties for countries that specialize in, say, buggy whips, only to have a new technology like the automobile come around and put a significant chunk of their total economy out of business.This theory may also leave local businesses that don't lean into a regional strength kind of in the lurch. If a country with a decent-sized automobile industry decides leaves their borders completely open to international competition, there's a chance that could light a fire under those local producers, forcing them to become more competitive, but there's also a chance it could collapse the market for local offerings—their cars might no longer be desirable, because the international stuff flooding across the borders from a nation that has heavily prioritized making cars are just so much better and cheaper, whether naturally or artificially, because of subsidies by that foreign government meant to help them take out international competition.This is why most nations have all sorts of tariffs, regulations, and other trade barriers erected between them and their trading partners, and why those trade barriers are ultra-specific, different for every single possible trade partner. The goal is to make international options less appealing by making them more expensive, or making it trickier for foreign competition to smoothly and quickly get their products on your shelves, while still making those things available in a volume that aligns with local consumer demands. And then ideally making it easier and cheaper for your stuff to get on their shelves.The negotiation of all this is massively complicated because Country A might want to favor their soybean farmers, who are an important voting bloc, and Country B might want to do the same for their car industry, because tax income from that industry is vital, and these two governments will thus do what they can to ensure their favored local industries and businesses have the biggest leg-up possible in as many foreign markets as possible, without giving away so much to their trade partners that they create worse situations for other industries and businesses (and the people who run them) on the home-front, as a consequence.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent, massive and potentially quite vital trade deal that was struck in early 2026, and what it might mean for global trade.—At the tail-end of January 2026, the European Commission announced that they had struck what they called “the mother of all deals” with India, this deal the culmination of two decades worth of negotiation, its tenets impacting about 2 billion people and around a quarter of the world's total GDP.The agreement, as is the case with most such agreements, is fairly complex. But in essence it reduces or eliminates tariffs on 96.6% of all EU goods exported to India, which means about 4 billion euros of annual duties that would have otherwise been paid on European products in India will disappear—a savings for Indian consumers, and a boon for European producers whose products will now be cheaper in India.This is expected to be especially beneficial for European automakers like Volkswagen, Renault, and BMW, which have long been weighed down by a 110% tariff in India; that tariff will be reduced to as little as 10% on the first 250,000 vehicles sold, following this agreement. Lower priced vehicles will still face higher tariffs, to help protect India's local carmakers, but electric vehicles will benefit from a five-year grace period, as India has been focusing on allowing as many cheap, renewable energy assets and infrastructure into the country as possible, regardless of where they come from.Tariffs on machinery, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals coming from the EU will be almost entirely eliminated, down from tariff rates of 44, 22, and 11%, respectively. Wine, which has long been tariffed at a rate of 150%, will be cut to between 20-30% for many varieties, and spirits from the EU coming into India will see 150% tariffs cut to 40%.On the other side of this deal, the EU will also open its market to Indian goods, reducing tariffs on about 99.5% of all such goods, including seafood, textiles, gems and jewelry, leather goods, plastic products, and toys. Several of these categories, like Indian seafood, textile-making, and other labor-intensive industries, have had a rough time of late, because of high US tariffs enforced by President Trump's second administration, so this is being seen as a significant win for them in particular.Interestingly, while the reduction in trade barriers is substantial here, and the number of people and industries, and amount of money that's involved is massive, this deal doesn't include, and in some cases explicitly excludes, any agreements related to labor rights, climate commitment, or environmental standards.This means that while the European Union has thus far been pretty strict in terms of ensuring incoming products align with their policies and values regarding things like carbon emissions and ensuring goods aren't produced by people laboring in slave-like conditions, this deal falls short of such enforcements, allowing India to operate with relative impunity, with regards to those issues, at least, and still sell with dramatically reduced barriers, on the European market. That's a big deal, and is perhaps the biggest indicator of just how badly the EU wanted to make this deal work.The EU was also able to keep significant protections in place for important local sectors like beef and chicken, dairy, rice, and sugar—all industries in which India would have liked to compete in the EU, but which, because of those maintained barriers, they practically can't. That would likely have been a feverishly negotiated topic, and it's likely an indicator of how much India wanted this to work, too.On that note, both India and the EU were apparently especially interested in making this multi-decade deal work, now, because of increasing pressure from China on one side and the US on the other.China has been rerouting many of its cheap products that would have previously gone to the US market, elsewhere, engaging in what's often called ‘dumping' which slowly but surely puts businesses that produce comparable products at a profit in those local target markets out of business, at which point these Chinese companies can then ratchet up their prices and profits, operating without real competition.The EU and India have both been targeted by Chinese companies taking this approach, because they're still producing at a feverish pace and because of US tariffs and the general unpredictability and irregularity of US policy overall under the second Trump administration, they've been firing that cheap product cannon more intensely at other large markets, instead—and India and the EU are the next two big markets in line right now, after the US and China.On the US side of things, those same tariffs have been hurting companies in both the EU and India that would otherwise been shipping their goods to the rich and spendy US market, and in many cases these tariffs have been fine-tuned to hurt important local industries as much as possible, because that's one of Trump's main negotiating tactics: lead with pain and then negotiate to take some of the pain away.This deal, then, serves multiple purposes in that it creates a valuable, newly polished trade relationship between a rich and powerful existing bloc and the newly most-populous country on the planet, which is also rapidly expanding economically and geopolitically.One last point to note, here, though, is that the European Union has been trying to create these sorts of mutually beneficial deals with non-US partners for a while, now, and the two most recent wins, trade deals with a South American trade bloc and with Indonesia, in early January 2026 and in September of 2025, respectively, have borne mixed results.The deal with Indonesia seems to be moving forward apace, and while it's a heck of a lot smaller than the India deal, only worth about 27 billion euros, that's still important, as Indonesia is increasingly important, both economically and geopolitically, especially in a Southeast Asia that's slowly reinforcing itself against China's economically and potentially militarily expansionist tendencies.The deal with that South American bloc, however, was referred to the EU Court of Justice in mid-January for legal review due to its lack of alignment with other EU treaties, and that could delay or prevent its ratification.This new mother of all deals with India could likewise face holdups, or could fizzle before being implemented—though most analysts who are keeping eyes on this are seeing it not just as an economic agreement, but a gesture of solidarity at a moment in which China and the US are signaling their intent to carve up the world into hemispheric hegemonies, when those who might otherwise be forced into subordinate positions are scrambling to figure out who they can team up with and create counter-balancing forces capable of standing up against current and future aggression and coercion.There's a chance that even if politics and propriety threaten to get in the way, then, India and the EU will figure out a way to work together, on this and potentially other matters of global import, as well.Show

A menudo pensamos que la pasión por el automóvil deportivo es patrimonio exclusivo de Europa, Japón o Estados Unidos. Pero al otro lado del Atlántico, aislados por fronteras cerradas y leyes proteccionistas, ingenieros locos y soñadores crearon máquinas fascinantes. Para entender estos coches, hay que entender el contexto: entre los años 60 y 80, tanto Brasil como Argentina vivieron la era de la "sustitución de importaciones". No podías comprar un Ferrari o un Porsche. Si querías un deportivo, tenías que fabricarlo con lo que había: motores de utilitarios, chasis generalistas y mucha fibra de vidrio. Lejos de ser un impedimento, esto desató una creatividad asombrosa. En este vídeo rendimos homenaje a 10 de estos "héroes" del motor sudamericano: 1. Andino GT (Argentina): Una auténtica rareza artesanal creada por Luis Varela. Un deportivo de motor central-trasero (Renault) ultraligero que demostró el triunfo del "hazlo tú mismo". 2. Bianco S (Brasil): Un coche que, si lo ves hoy, parece un prototipo de Le Mans de los 70. Diseñado por Toni Bianco sobre la plataforma del VW Brasilia, priorizaba el espectáculo visual y la posición de conducción de monoplaza sobre la potencia bruta. 3. Hofstetter Turbo (Brasil): El superdeportivo brasileño de los 80. Una cuña radical inspirada en el Countach, con puertas de ala de gaviota y un motor VW AP con turbo que rozaba los 200 km/h. 4. IKA Torino (Argentina): Palabras mayores. El orgullo nacional argentino. Un coche basado en un Rambler americano, rediseñado por Pininfarina y con un motor Tornado afinado por Oreste Berta. Su hazaña en las 84 Horas de Nürburgring de 1969 es historia del automovilismo mundial. 5. Justicialista Gran Sport (Argentina): Historia política sobre ruedas. Iniciativa del gobierno de Perón, fue uno de los primeros coches del mundo en usar carrocería de fibra de vidrio y montaba un motor Porsche. 6. Miura Sport (Brasil): La definición de "lujo tecnológico". Un coche con faros escamoteables y diseño afilado que se hizo famoso en los 80 por tener un sintetizador de voz que te hablaba para avisarte de fallos o puertas abiertas. 7. Puma GT (Brasil): El rey indiscutible de Brasil y un éxito de exportación. Nacido de la mano de Rino Malzoni, usaba mecánica Volkswagen refrigerada por aire. Bonito, fiable y ligero, se convirtió en un objeto de deseo internacional. 8. Santa Matilde (Brasil): El Gran Turismo de lujo. Fabricado por una empresa de trenes, usaba el potente motor de 6 cilindros del Chevrolet Opala. Era caro, refinado y confortable, con un aislamiento acústico superior. 9. Volkswagen SP2 (Brasil): Diseñado y producido exclusivamente por VW do Brasil. Uno de los coches más bellos de la marca, con una línea "shooting brake" magistral, aunque su motor de 1700cc le valió el apodo de "Sem Potência". 10. Willys Interlagos (Brasil): La versión brasileña del Alpine A108. Fue el primer deportivo fabricado en serie en el país y la escuela donde se curtieron leyendas como Emerson Fittipaldi o Carlos Pace. Estos diez coches demuestran que la escasez agudiza el ingenio y que la pasión por el motor no entiende de fronteras.

THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…PERFECT FOR MEDITATION WE HAVE EDDIE CHEEVER!! Eddie Cheever Jr. carved out a unique place in Formula 1 history as one of the most tenacious American drivers to compete at motorsport's highest level. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1958, Cheever spent nine seasons racing in Formula 1 between 1978 and 1989, becoming a familiar face on circuits from Monaco to Silverstone. His career spanned multiple decades and continents, transitioning from European Formula 1 circuits to American IndyCar ovals with remarkable adaptability. Cheever's journey represents the classic American racing dream made reality through determination, skill, and an unwavering commitment to speed. This comprehensive examination explores Cheever's complete racing story, from his early Formula 1 breakthrough to his IndyCar triumph at the Indianapolis 500, revealing how one driver successfully navigated two distinctly different racing cultures. Early Life and Racing Genesis Edward McKay Cheever Jr. was born on 10 January 1958 in Phoenix, Arizona, into a family that understood the value of pursuing ambitious goals. His father, Eddie Cheever Sr., recognised his son's potential early and made the crucial decision to relocate the family to Europe when Eddie was just a teenager. This move proved instrumental in shaping Cheever's racing destiny. The Cheever family settled in Rome, Italy, where Eddie began his formal motorsport education. This European base provided access to the junior formula series that served as a stepping stone to Formula 1. Unlike many American drivers who remained focused on domestic racing series, Cheever immersed himself completely in European racing culture from the beginning. His early racing experiences in Italy taught him the fundamental skills required for road course racing. The technical precision demanded by European circuits contrasted sharply with the oval racing that dominated American motorsport. Cheever adapted quickly to this environment, developing the car control and racecraft that would serve him throughout his career. Professional Development and Character Cheever's personality combined American determination with European sophistication. Colleagues remember him as intensely focused yet approachable, possessing the communication skills necessary to work effectively with international teams. His bilingual abilities proved advantageous when working with Italian and French teams later in his Formula 1 career. His physical conditioning reflected the professional standards expected in Formula 1. Standing at medium height with a lean build, Cheever maintained the fitness levels required for the physical demands of racing at circuits like Monaco and Spa-Francorchamps. His consistency in qualifying and race performances demonstrated the mental toughness developed through years of European competition. Theodor Racing and Formula 1 Debut Cheever's Formula 1 journey began with Theodor Racing in 1978, a Swiss team that provided opportunities for emerging drivers. The team operated with modest resources but maintained professional standards that prepared Cheever for the demands of Grand Prix racing. His debut came at a time when Formula 1 was becoming increasingly competitive and technologically sophisticated. Working with Theodor Racing taught Cheever essential lessons about Formula 1 operations. The team's limited budget meant every component had to be used efficiently, and drivers were expected to provide detailed technical feedback to help optimise performance. These early experiences developed his engineering communication skills, which have proved valuable throughout his career. The Swiss team environment exposed Cheever to the international nature of Formula 1. Team members came from various European countries, requiring him to navigate different working styles and cultural approaches to racing. This multicultural exposure prepared him for future partnerships with larger, more diverse teams. Osella Partnership and Italian Racing Culture Cheever's move to Osella in 1979 marked his introduction to Italian racing passion and technical innovation. The Italian team, based in Volpiano near Turin, represented the traditional approach to motorsport that characterised many European constructors. Working with Osella provided insights into Italian engineering philosophy and racing culture. The partnership with Osella lasted multiple seasons, allowing Cheever to develop long-term relationships with team personnel. Italian teams traditionally emphasised driver input in car development, and Cheever's technical feedback became increasingly valuable as he gained experience with different circuits and racing conditions. Osella's financial limitations meant Cheever often competed with older chassis and engines, requiring him to maximise performance through driving skill rather than technological advantages. These challenging circumstances developed his ability to extract speed from any available equipment, a skill that served him well throughout his career. Tyrrell Racing and Professional Growth The transition to Tyrrell Racing represented a significant step forward in Cheever's Formula 1 career. Ken Tyrrell's team maintained higher professional standards and provided access to more competitive machinery. The partnership offered opportunities to compete regularly for points and occasional podium positions. Tyrrell's organisation reflected traditional British racing values, emphasising technical excellence and professional conduct. Working with experienced team members taught Cheever advanced car setup techniques and race strategy development. The team's systematic approach to Grand Prix weekends provided a template for professional racing operations. The British team environment required Cheever to adapt to different communication styles and working methods. Tyrrell's emphasis on driver development aligned well with Cheever's commitment to continuous improvement, creating a productive partnership that advanced his Formula 1 career significantly. Renault Factory Team Experience Joining Renault marked the pinnacle of Cheever's Formula 1 team affiliations. The French manufacturer's factory team provided access to cutting-edge technology and unlimited resources, representing a dramatic change from his previous partnerships. Renault's turbo engines offered competitive power levels that enabled regular points scoring and podium contention. The factory team environment exposed Cheever to advanced engineering methods and sophisticated data analysis techniques. Renault's technical departments employed hundreds of specialists working on aerodynamics, engine development, and electronics systems. This exposure to high-level motorsport technology broadened his understanding of Formula 1's technical complexity. Working alongside experienced teammates provided valuable learning opportunities. The collaborative environment at Renault encouraged information sharing between drivers, helping Cheever refine his car setup techniques and race strategy approaches. These partnerships demonstrated the importance of teamwork in achieving consistent Formula 1 success.

In Episode 235, Tu and Lei break down a pivotal week for autonomous driving, global EV competition, and the future of premium automakers—from Silicon Valley to China and Europe.  The conversation opens with a surge of AV and robotaxi news: Tesla removing safety drivers in Austin, shifting FSD to a subscription model, and signaling potential approval in China and Europe; Waymo expanding into Miami; DiDi launching a new robotaxi platform in China; and large-scale robo-van ambitions from Mobileye–Volkswagen and Geely's Caocao Mobility. Together, these moves signal that autonomy is no longer experimental—it's scaling.Tu frames autonomy through four lenses: technology readiness, silicon and cloud stacks, regulatory approval, and societal impact, including job displacement and cost reduction through scale. While Tesla remains the benchmark, Chinese players like XPeng, Huawei, and Baidu are rapidly closing the gap—supported by a more permissive regulatory environment in China.The episode then pivots to a blunt assessment of the premium auto sector. Porsche's collapse to ~42,000 units in China, deep price cuts from BMW and Mercedes, and the stark comparison between Porsche's Macan EV and Xiaomi's YU7 highlight how “premium” is being redefined by software, features, and price—not heritage.Tu and Lei argue that the high-margin glory days for German luxury brands are over, not just in China but globally, as Chinese OEMs demonstrate faster iteration, lower costs, and mass-market appeal—especially to younger and female buyers. The discussion closes with battery swapping (BAAS), cold-weather EV realities, and whether Chinese automakers could realistically build trust and scale in North America.Strategic, candid, and forward-looking, this episode explains why autonomy and affordability—not badges—will define the next era of the auto industry.___

Happy New Regulations everyone! Yes it's 2026 and the new F1 rules are coming into force very soon, even if the teams, F1 themselves and even the FIA aren't 100% sure of what they are and how they'll work. What could go wrong? (We'll find out soon, Scarbs will be joining us to explain all that!)This week on the first podcast of 2026, we take a look back at the major F1 stories that have happened since we last got together a couple of months back. We've seen Friend of the Podcast Lando Norris become World Champion, the end of the Helmut Marko era at RedBull, rumours about the return of Christian Horner to the grid (with Alpine this time) and we wildly speculate about when we'll see the Renault name back in F1 again after they left, not for the first time, this year.There's a load of tangents as well as we just generally have a catchup as it's the first time all 4 of us have spoken to each other at the same time since before Christmas, so it's a bit of a freeform, all over the place kind of show. But we have got an Is That Glock for a change!And if you want to join in with the chat during the races (along with testing, practice and qualifying) head over to our ⁠Discord⁠ where there's always a great crowd of people to watch along with.

After 40 years, Roederer Estate, the Californian arm of Champagne Louis Roederer has really started to hit its stride. Arnaud Weyrich, SVP and Winemaker of Roederer Estate and Xavier Barlier, CMO of MMD USA, discuss its history, trajectory, and how Roederer Estate continues to create more reasons to believe in the brand and the wines. This belief is grounded in a vision to make wines that look and taste like Champagne, but with Californian roots.
