I denne episoden snakker David og Håkon om dieselbilens fortreffeligheter. Det skal registreres godt over 1.000 dieselbiler i Norge i år, men hvor aktuell er egentlig Skodas helt nye modell? Håkon har testet den og kommer med sine tanker om familiebilen du kanskje eller kanskje ikke savner. David kommer på sin side trekkende med noen spennende klassikere, etter å ha snoket på Finn.no. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're joined by Jay from Players Classic, Players Shows, Flat 6 Show, Hoonigan and star of many PVW magazine features for this fantastic episode. Come with us, back in time to when Skoda's were seriously uncool - His Dad had many of them! Fortunately in Jay's words, he knew how to take care of himself, otherwise it would have been a very unpleasant time at school.  Jay's Dad also had a Rover P6 with the number plate 999 BAN - and he was a Police Officer!! Other stories in this episode include his Aunt Mick's Ford Fiesta Supersport and she was arguably responsible for getting Jay into cars. The Fiesta later got part exchanged for a Honda Civic, which eventually ended up with Jay after she passed away - and he ran that car into the ground. We hope you enjoy this one as much as all the others!Support the Show.We'd love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar_podcastwww.Facebook.com/mydadscar podcastwww.buymeacoffee.com/mydadscarIf you'd like to support the podcast and are able to, you can ‘buy us a coffee' which will help towards costs of hosting and purchasing equipment to allow us to record guests in person, rather than just on zoom.

With Elis James spending this Friday sunning himself in Wales it was down to John to choose a suitable co-host to take his place. It was a drawn out process featuring seven preliminary rounds of auditioning, two auditions in front of a live audience and an arm wrestle. The victor, and sharing the airwaves with John this week, was none other than Ivo Graham; and boy did he relish the opportunity. Making his first appearance as an official co-host, Ivo really embraced the cut and thrust nature of broadcasting with John. It was a case of “run before you can walk”, and with each stride he got closer to a finishing line marked “chat”. There was an impromptu discussion with a referee, John got annoyed during a Made Up Game, Ivo put his improv skills to the test and Producer Dave NEARLY Backed Britain.

On this edition, host Ian Parkinson joins the Shimano Neutral Service squad on the first stage of this year's Itzulia Basque Country. He learns about the work of these unsung heroes of the pro peloton and gets a high-speed ride around the Basque hills in the passenger seat of one of the famous blue Skodas. And Phil Wright reads Passion Project from Rouleur 109, the story of how two Italian entrepreneurs started an international bike clothing brand from their kitchen table.

NORTHVOLT BATTERY PLANT SPARKS INTO LIFE, A FIRST FOR EUROPE - Sweden's Northvolt said on Wednesday its new gigafactory in northern Sweden has assembled its first battery cell, making it the first European company to design and manufacture a battery on the continent. - The cell is of a prismatic cell format - a variety of thinner and lighter battery - and came off the assembly line on Tuesday. - Northvolt CEO Peter Carlsson had told Reuters that the new factory would produce a battery this year "even if it means the first battery is made on New Year's Eve". - The company is aiming for the Skelleftea plant to achieve production capacity of 60 gigawatt hours (GWh) as it aims for at least a 20-25% market share in Europe by 2030. Original Source : https://www.reuters.com/technology/northvolt-produces-first-battery-cell-sweden-gigafactory-2021-12-29/ - Tesla is due to launch its first factory in Europe shortly and Asian rivals have significant operations in Poland and Hungary - but no European firm had yet operated a significant facility until now. - The new factory, dubbed "Northvolt Ett" (Northvolt One) in Swedish, already employs 500 people and will likely have as many as 3,000 staff once it reaches full capacity. - The Swedish company, which has already raised funding of several billion euros, was founded in 2016 by Carlsson and Italian Paolo Cerruti, both former Tesla employees. - Its location, some 200 km from the Arctic Circle, was chosen because it is near important sites of renewable production in northern Sweden, including hydropower. Original Source : https://www.euronews.com/next/2021/12/31/northvolt-powers-up-europe-s-first-homegrown-ev-battery-gigafactory-in-a-bid-to-beat-tesla US: VOLKSWAGEN ID.4 GROSS RESERVATIONS EXCEED 40,000 - Volkswagen of America announced that the ID.4 model is among the fastest-selling VW vehicles in the U.S. with nine out of ten buyers identifying as first-time EV buyers. The number of gross reservations (since the ID.4 introduction in March 2021) has increased to more than 40,000 (as of mid-December), out of which over 15,000 cars were sold. - Assuming that there were not many resignations, there are still some 25,000 ID.4 buyers waiting for Volkswagen to ramp up production and sales, which is not easy considering production constraints and high demand also in Europe. - The good news is that in 2022, the company intends to launch localized production of the ID.4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Battery cells for the cars will be supplied by SK Innovation's SK On from the new battery plant in Commerce, Georgia.

An automaker's Prime Directive is to produce vehicles that open their doors and drive off on the first attempt, just as a telephone that struggles with audio calls is flawed, no matter how marvelous its other capacities.But five years from now, nobody will remember the glitchy door handles I experienced in early-production vehicles.

THE TESLA MODEL 3 - The Tesla Model 3 has only been in Europe for a couple of years now, but it has been an instant hit. In 2021, it is expected to be the best-selling EV there, topping competitors like the Volkswagen ID.3 and the Renault Zoe, according to a new report. You can see why Tesla CEO Elon Musk is so anxious to get Tesla's factory in Germany up and running. - That report, published in Automotive News, also says that, unsurprisingly, Tesla will be the best-selling EV brand, too, though Volkswagen will be the best-selling EV company, by virtue of selling EVs not just with the Volkswagen marque but also electric Audis, Cupras, Skodas, and Porsches, too. - Sales of the Model 3 jumped 84 percent to 113,397 through November, according to data from JATO Dynamics market researcher. Volkswagen's ID3 compact hatchback is likely to be at No. 2. ID3 sales rose 125 percent to 63,109 in the first 11 months.The Renault Zoe, 2020's best-selling EV is on track to be No. 3. Through 11 months, Zoe sales were 60,551, down 27 percent.

For those not in the know, the Ryzen (formerly Atom) is responsible for handling infotainment duties on Tesla EVs. It's directly responsible for the screen's responsiveness when activating menus, playing games, loading apps like YouTube or Netflix, and swiping around the navigational map. - The first Model 3 and Y vehicles with MCU3 (Infotainment Computer with AMD Ryzen) are now being produced and delivered in North America! - One other notable change coming alongside the Ryzen chip is the inclusion of a new, smaller Li-ion battery to power the vehicle's 12-volt system. This replaces the antiquated 12-volt lead-acid batteries found in almost every other internal combustion engine vehicle and previous Teslas. The Li-ion battery, which is shared with newer Model S and Model X vehicles, weighs just 4 pounds compared to 27 pounds for its lead-acid predecessor and should last the life of the car (instead of 2 to 4 years).

For Audi as the inventor of quattro, TFSI, ultra, e-tron and many other future technologies in motorsport, this marks the beginning of a new era in cross-country rallying. - A total of 80 people from Audi and Q Motorsport – from the rally drivers and those responsible for technology and logistics to the team doctor and physiotherapists – will be moving through Saudi Arabia for two weeks. The 2022 program includes twelve stages with daily distances of more than 800 kilometers in some cases.

Der Enyaq ist Skodas erstes Elektro-SUV und eng verwandt mit dem VW ID.4 und dem Audi Q4 e-tron. Peter und Jan testen die Topversion Enyaq iV 80x, dessen zwei Elektromotoren 195 kW (265 PS) leisten. Von der Optik und dem Platzangebot im Innenraum sind beide überzeugt, doch die entscheidende Frage lautet: Kann der Enyaq auch Langstrecke?

Peter Grindrod talks with Digby Paape about Skodas.

Auf eine mehrstündige Fahrt mit Skodas neuem großen ENYAQ iV - selten hat Strom so viel Spaß gemacht! Ich bin ja schon einige Stromer gefahren, reine Stromer. Echte Stromer. Nur Akkus, sonst nichts. Und dann kündigt Skoda im letzten Jahr aus dem Nichts einen 100%igen Stromer an - der auf der internen Plattform der SUVs aufsetzen soll. Schnell waren erste Bild, YouTube-Promo-Videos ("Papa, sind wir schon da?" - "NEIN!" - "...was für ein Glück!") und technische Daten da... nur ein Datum, ab wann er denn endlich beim Händler steht, blieb uns Skoda schuldig. Und dann, vor einigen Wochen, ging alles ganz schnell. Also: wie fährt sich der ENYAQ iV in der großen Ausführung denn so? Spoiler: ich habe tatsächlich einen Tag darüber nachgedacht, einen zu bestellen...! Vorab: ich packe euch in den Blog und im PodCast in die Shownotes ein paar (360-Grad-)Bilder. Leider ist WordPress nicht in der Lage, diese sphärisch darzustellen, ich hoffe euch aber trotzdem einen kleinen Einblick über ein großartiges Auto zu geben! Was soll man schon machen, wenn der eigene Skoda ganztags im Kundendienst ist? Ganz klar, den ENYAQ resverieren und fast vier Stunden alleine durch die Landschaft schießen. Ja, ich weiß, was euch interessiert: bei 160km/h ist Schluss. Trotz seines unfassbaren Gewichts zischt er ab, dass so mancher 3-Liter-Motor manch bayrischer Herstellermarke so seine Schwierigkeiten hatte. Wobei: Ein Motor mit direkter Übersetzung auf die Reifen kann der beste "Sportwagen" mit Getriebe und Antriebsstrang nun mal nicht einholen. Die Dimensionen: knappe 4,7 Meter lang, fast 1,9 Meter breit. Die kleine Variante kommt mit 180, die große mit 204 PS. Für die Ladezeit, wenn genug Power, idealerweise 100kW, da ist, solltet ihr vom 10% Restakku auf 80% im kleinen ca. 40, im großen, der 125 kW vertragen kann, gute 35 Minuten mitbringen. Und jetzt der spannedste Punkt, die Reichweite: die kleine Version holt nach WLTP, ganz klar nach Fahrtyp, max. 390 Kilometer aus den Akkus, die große Variante um die 500 Kilometer. Berlin - Bayern, das ist eine Aussage! Auch die Ausstattung kann sich sehen lassen. Der für mich wichtigste Punkt: ENDLICH IST ANDROID AUTO mit an Board und das sogar in der neuesten Variante, die kein Kabel mehr braucht, sondern die Bluetooth-Verbindung der Freisprecheinrichtung mitbenutzt. Die Umsetzung ist raffiniert gemacht und dank des großen Displays nach einiger Eingewöhnung leicht zu bedienen. Sonst sind die gängigen Sensoren für Level-2 autonomes Fahren an Board, zusätzlich das von VW bereits im Arteon vorgestellte System, dass im Falle eines "Zusammenbruchs" des Fahrers, den Wagen selbstständig zum Stillstand bringt und während dieses Manövers automatisch die Warnblinkanlagen aktiviert und die Steuerung übernimmt. Level-3 Möglichkeiten konnte ich keine finden - würde mich aber nicht verwundern, wenn der ENYAQ auch das kann! So sieht die Kommandozentrale im ENYAQ aus / Bild-Quelle: privat[/caption] Ich hasse ja Autofahren, aber in Stromern ist es, zumindest aktuell noch, immer ein besonderes Erlebnis. So auch im ENYAQ. Ich hatte ihn mit knapp 200 Restkilometern auf der Akku-Uhr übernommen und bin kanppe zwei Stunden und gute 180 Kilometer über Land, Stadt, Autobahn und ein wenig Feldweg gefahren. Die Rekuperation ist, trotz des Gewichts, kaum zu nutzen, auch nicht bergab. Dank dem geteilten Display findet man schnell heraus, dass diese bereits greift, wenn man nur noch leicht auf dem Gas steht - aber recht viel mehr auch nicht kommt. Ich dachte eigentlich, wenn man den Wagen mit Fuß vom Gas einen Berg herab rollen lässt, bringt das Eigengewicht gewaltig Geschwindigkeit auf die Straße und parallel gleich mal zwei, drei Kilometer auf die Uhr. Weit gefehlt - der Wagen ist dafür einfach zu schwer. [caption id="attachment_3565" align="aligncenter" width="5376"] 360 Grad ENYAQ von der Rückbank aus - Einkäufe bitte ignorieren! / BIid-Quelle: privat[/caption] Alles in allem war es ein echtes Erlebnis: ein nagelneues Modell aus einer neuen Reihe, aus der wir, was das iV angeht, in den nächsten Monaten noch weitere Neuerungen erleben werden. Und wie üblich hat Skoda seine Raffinesse in Bezug auf Technik, Ausstattung vor allem Raumgestaltung wirksam zur Schau gebracht. Und ein weiteres Modell mit Fließheck, wenn ich es richtig übersetzen konnte, wurde auch ENYAQ-Basis auch schon angekündigt. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wie Skoda im Elektrobereich den Markt aufrollen wird... witzigerweise führte mich meine Probefahrt direkt im nächsten Ort nach meinem Händler des Vetrauens gleich an einem VW id3 vorbei - der alleine im Schatten der Mittagssonne des ENYAQ unterging. Später, auf einem Parkplatz, schmissen wir noch einen Schatten auf einen id.4, der sich redlich bemühte, aber bestenfalls als "Kleiner" tituliert durchkam. [caption id="attachment_3564" align="aligncenter" width="5376"] ...und hier noch der Kofferraum - nicht meiner, da selten so aufgeräumt... aber vielleicht wird er es noch? / Bild-Quelle: privatEin abschließendes Gespräch mit dem Händler meines Vertrauens ergab, wie nicht anders zu erwarten war, auch dank aktuell guter Förderung durch Staat und Co, dass sich der Wagen mit diversen Bestellungen pro Woche bereits gut im Markt einführt. Da Berlin es aber nicht und wohl auch nicht so schnell schaffen wird, eine Stromtanke hier in unmittelbarer Nähe auf die Straße zu bringen und dann auch zu kontrollieren, dass diese nicht durchgehend nur von Verbrennern zugeparkt wird, spare ich mir das Großstadtjungel-Erlebnis der Kabeltrommel vom Balkon werfen, wenn man denn überhaupt in der Nähe einen Parkplatz findet. Es gilt eben mein Standardspruch: Berlin, die Hauptstadt, die nix kann. Aber lassen wir uns die Fahrt nicht vermiesen - der ENYAQ ist ein tolles Auto, sehr durchdacht, technisch hochwertig und eine preisliche Kampfansage, die in dieser Kategorie den Durchbruch der E-Mobilität bedeutend beschleunigen könnte - in Deutschland und vielleicht sogar in seiner Hauptstadt. Wir werden sehen! Und einen zukünftigen ENYAQ-Fahrer habe ich demnächst auch direkt in der Bekanntschaft! Wer sagt es denn...! Schnittig, kantig - eben was ganz eigenes - der Skoda ENYAQ in freier WIldbahn! / Bild-Quelle: privat PodCast abonnieren: | direkt | iTunes | Spotify | Google | amazon | PROUDLY RECORDED AND PRODUCED WITH Ultraschall5 Folge direkt herunterladen

After a mild hiatus Rachael and Tim are back to talk about the huge pile of cars they've reviewed over the past month – from €1.5m super GTs to electric Skodas, 600hp hybrid Hondas and two Lotuses that Tim used to make the internet angry. We also chat about what life's been like since starting our fledgling careers on YouTube – from the comments to the algorithm to the MONEY.

PJ is now the oldest man in the world. Like everyone else in their 40s, he has given up on life. Then there's the story of the naked burglar. PJ gets whiskey for his birthday and proves he likes it by saying what he would have said if he didn't like it. He then bangs on about the rules of whiskey. The pair of them are hooked on the ibuprofen, mad for it altogether. The red wine isn't doing it for Suzanne anymore, she's on the injectables now. Now, the big question of the week - do you tip your food delivery people? And do you tip your parcel delivery people? A very revealing conversation ensues. Luca the Italian sword-champagne-bottle-opening-Maseratti-driving delivery man (he actually owns his own restaurant but it doesn't sound as good) makes an appearance via PJ's gregarious description of him. There's talk about Skodas and St. Anto finds something Suzanne has been missing. Then St. Chris and St. Raphael go head to head. PJ puts himself inside a dog. There's a nice mental health chat then, phones sent away in the evenings, the ability to change your mind. Hospitals, radiologists, vaccines and tears of joy all make an appearance. It's a great episode of Dubland, get it #InUrEarsIf you let the ball drop, you'll be grand.There's also loads of great bonus episodes for members now. You'll hear about the ten meals in a day challenge, some listener reviews, the Boxing Story retold, some Would You Rather questions and loads more, support the show by becoming a member here!

With Holden leaving the market, Australia police forces have chosen a range of different alternatives. Now NZ police have taken a direction similar to Europe more than Australia. They will be replacing their Holden fleet with Skodas built in the Czech Republic. The specific model is the Skoda Superb station wagon in either the 162KW 2WD or 206KW all wheel drive layout. NZ has some 2000 primary response vehicles currently and they saw Holden's withdrawal as an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions and ensure value for money across their fleet. When frontline staff tested the Skodas they liked the large, wide-opening doors, easy-to-read instruments, front and rear visibility, and the space for rear passengers Electric and hybrid vehicles were tested, but limitations including power efficiency and the total cost of ownership meant they were not the preferred option.

On today's podcast, the fellas see if Skodas are really cut out to be the new vehicle of the Police force, Matt chats about the lamb he and his kids demolished and the death of Diego Maradona results in a raking over the coals of the 1986 Football World Cup...

Allowing yourself to become a specialist is the first step on the business ladder to a more attractive clientele. By diversifying into new markets, you and your company can keep developing your expertise and not “dilute” it by catering to a broad spectrum of challenges. A Ferrari mechanic will charge you a lot more for fixing your Ferrari, than your local mechanic down the road. But if you enter the Ferrari garage, and you see a few Ladas, Skodas and Toyotas. Your trust will drop, your willingness to pay a premium for their services will disappear completely. And there is a good chance you will take your Ferrari somewhere else. This goes for almost any business as well. And if you want to be a specialist, the one business that charges a premium for fixing the ferraris of the business world. By diversifying your market, you expand the number of Ferraris in your clientele. Hence you don't have to fix the Toyotas, Ladas and Skodas to stay in business. And you can keep on developing your Ferrari fixing skills while charging the premium that makes you attractive for the premium clientele

Suzanne and PJ also talk about young doctors, and the one thing PJ hates more than Christmas - beards! Suzanne talks about the British funeral ritual of Death Limbo. PJ officially writes his will in this episode, so this is the one that you should come back to if he dies young and tragically. They also talk about the Pope and how nobody really cared about him and his Skodas. Also Dublin won the All Ireland, if you haven't heard. There are Dubland T-shirts now!

Well good morning, good afternoon and good evening, wherever you are in the world, hello and welcome to the Wednesday 11th 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.   An update on a story I mentioned briefly yesterday...with many news outlets confirming the news such as Bloomberg saying "Nissan Motor Co. said it will investigate instances of misconduct involving falsified data about exhaust emissions and fuel economy, the second controversy in less than a year for the automaker whose vehicle-inspection scandal had led to the recall of about 1.2 million vehicles. The data falsification...occurred on 19 models across five plants in Japan. During the checks, Nissan found out that employees misrepresented temperature and humidity data in the testing chamber and manipulated emission data on carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The automaker has hired a law firm to investigate the matter further."   TESLA TO BUILD GIGAFACTORY IN SHANGHAI We knew it was coming, just a matter of when not if, and it has just been confirmed Tesla will build a factory in Shanghai, the city government announced. WSJ said: "The electric-car maker will set up a plant with an annual capacity of 500,000 vehicles, the Shanghai authorities said in a statement. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk was in Shanghai to sign a memorandum of cooperation with Mayor Ying Yong". But why build a factory there? Once Tesla Shanghai has the new Gigafactory at capacity, they'll be building half a million cars for the Chinese market without paying the new import duties. Plus they could move the cheaper cars, like base Model 3 and base Model Y to be built there with lower costs, to increase margins. We know that Freemont is full and Elon has said in the past the Model Y won't be built there. Tesla said in a statement to Bloomberg: "We expect construction to begin in the near future after we get all the necessary approvals and permits. From there, it will take roughly two years until we start producing vehicles and then another two to three years before the factory is fully ramped up to produce around 500,000 vehicles per year for Chinese customers. Tesla is deeply committed to the Chinese market, and we look forward to building even more cars for our customers here. Today’s announcement will not impact our U.S. manufacturing operations, which continue to grow.” "Tesla’s lone car-assembly plant is in Fremont, California, where it’s built about 88,000 cars through the first half of this year, and it has a giant battery factory in neighbouring Nevada. After moving ahead in China, the world’s largest market for electric vehicles, Tesla has said it will reveal plans toward the end of 2018 to build a plant in Europe." Although this isn't a financial podcast and I never pretend to understand the finer subtleties of a balance sheet, TEsla has $2.7bn in cash at the end of Q2 2018, with a plan for the Model 3 to make them profitable between now and the end of the calendar year. China has been an investor in Tesla before, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. spending $1.8 billion to buy a 5 percent stake in March 2017.   MERCEDES ECITARO IS AN FULLY ELECTRIC CITY BUS At a major launch event yesterday, Mercedes revealed their all electric eCitaro bus. They said the powertrain has electric motors at the wheel hubs. Lithium-ion batteries with a total capacity of up to about 243 kWh provide the power. The range is 150km. They are modular in design: the batteries are split between up to ten modules, each supplying around 25 kWh. As well as two battery modules on the vehicle roof, the standard equipment includes four modules in the rear of the bus. In the eCitaro, these are taking the place of today's powertrain combination of combustion engine and transmission. Depending upon customer requirements, another two or four battery modules are mounted on the roof of the eCitaro. They're using prismatic cells. Mercedes-Benz cools the batteries to ensure that they remain at the ideal temperature, thereby ensuring maximum charging capacity, performance capability, and service life. This cooling is undertaken by a separate battery cooler mounted on the roof. At extreme outside temperatures, the standard passenger-compartment climate control system is used to boost the cooling of the batteries. They see an upgrade path too as battery technology increase: "transport operators will even be able to increase the range of the existing eCitaro buses by swapping out the batteries at a later time and thereby further increase the operational flexibility." They are also talking about solid state batteries, which they predict will offer a 30% increase from 243kWh to 400kWh from 2020. However due to design these won't be swappable with the Li-Ion batteries but sold as a different range.   VOLKSWAGEN EXPANDS "ROADMAP E" — AN E-MOBILITY ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVE IN CHINA On Monday 9th July Volkswagen Group China signed a "Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)" with JAC and SEAT in Berlin, to establish a new "Research & Development" center with a focus on developing electric vehicles, connectivity and autonomous driving technologies, as well as a competitive platform for battery electric vehicles (BEV). SEAT brand will be introduced to China by 2020/2021. This new Memorandum of Understanding will play a key role in Volkswagen Group’s e-mobility plans for China, in order to meet the demands of Chinese customers. Together with JAC and SEAT, Volkswagen Group China will establish an R&D center to develop electric vehicles, connectivity and autonomous driving technologies specifically tailored to the Chinese market, including relevant parts and components and core technologies, with completion planned for 2021.   CHINA'S CATL TO BUILD ITS FIRST EUROPEAN EV BATTERY FACTORY IN GERMANY "Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd (CATL) will build its first production site in Europe in Germany, agreeing a major contract with BMW to supply lithium-ion batteries." according to a report from Reuters, which adds to more of what we've previously reported on this story:" A contract to build the new plant was signed on Monday during a visit to Germany by China's Premier Li Keqiang. Around 240 million euros (S$379 million) will be invested in the first phase of the project, Wolfgang Tiefensee, Thuringia's minister of economic affairs, told journalists. BMW plans to source 4 billion euros of battery cells from CATL over the next few years, with 1.5 billion euros coming from the new site in Erfurt in eastern Germany, the carmaker's purchasing head, Markus Duesmann, said. CATL, the world's largest maker of battery cells for electric vehicles, said the new factory was just its first step in Europe." says BusinessTimes.com.sg: "The CATL factory will create about 600 jobs and reach production of 14 gigawatt hours (GWh) by 2022. CATL reached shipments of 12 GWh in 2017." Deussmann also added: "BMW had invested in some of the costs for the CATL factory in Erfurt, but declined to say how much. Duesmann said BMW was investing in cell research but a decision on whether to produce battery cells itself had not been made. "I don't rule it out," he said. BMW is "very comfortable" with two suppliers of battery cells at the moment, but could add a third and is in talks with eight manufacturers, he added".   NOW ANYONE CAN CONFIGURE A MODEL 3 LA Times reports: "Anyone can access the Tesla’s Model 3 “online configurator” and lay down a non-refundable $3,500 cash payment; the delivery date is determined after the money’s been transferred to Tesla." I tried it here from the UK, but with my US VPN connected, and the TEsla.com site hadn't updated. "The stated wait time a Model 3 runs from immediate delivery to as many as nine months for the company’s long-promised $35,000 base price version. But each customer is informed individually about his or her specific delivery date." Tesla replied to a request for comment with this: "“Tesla has always required this deposit for all of its vehicle orders, including Model S and Model X, given that we build cars to our customers’ specifications. That deposit goes towards the purchase price of the vehicle.” We heard at the start of July, when Tesla confirmed they had made 5,000 MOdel 3's per week, that the official number of outstanding orders was 420,000.   DHL OFFERING NEW YORKERS FREE ZERO-EMISSION RIDES DHL, the Official Logistics Partner of Formula E, is offering New Yorkers a free eShuttle service from key locations across Manhattan this week in an effort to reinforce the global logistics company’s commitment to drive progress in sustainability and e-mobility. DHL has teamed up with Nissan ahead of the 2018 Qatar Airways New York City E-Prix to roll out a fleet of 14 Nissan Leafs that will be available for the public to take free zero-emission rides. The DHL eShuttle service will be running from July 11 through July 13 in the lead up to the New York City E-Prix taking place in Red Hook, Brooklyn, this weekend. The service will be offered from 10am to 4pm at three different locations The service is open to members of the public who download the DHL Mobility Quest app.   SKODA IS PREPARING 'E-RS' ELECTRIC CAR HALO EVS TO MIRROR VRS Skoda is to make a performance variant of its upcoming all-electric model, based on the Vision E Concept from the 2017 Frankfurt motor show and should be on sale by the end of 2020. Tim Pollard, writing for the always-excellent CAR Magazine here in the UK reports that: "Skoda is working on a range of performance electric vehicles loosely dubbed e-RS to indicate the EV equivalent of the Czech company’s vRS go-faster brand. Global sales and marketing chief Alain Favey told CAR magazine that Skoda is planning performance spin-offs of its future EVs, which are in development and ready to launch from next year. First up is the e-Citigo, basically a Czech-branded Volkswagen e-Up testbed, due for launch in late 2019; but this is just the warm-up act for the main event - the new bespoke EV crossover due a year later in autumn 2020, which will be the first to get Skoda’s proposed new e-RS derivative." Favey said to CAR: "There will be an e-RS,the logic is the same as for vRS. It’s not about performance as such… it’s more about the look, the sporty seats, the experience. That’s the spirit of vRS.’ "Expect a 300-mile range, design consistent with regular Skodas, a fast-charging network at main dealers, new, floating instrumentation and the very latest in connectivity, according to Favey."   https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/skoda/skoda-e-rs-electric-vrs-performance-cars-from-2020/   VW EYES GOODWOOD RECORD WITH ITS I.D. R PIKES PEAK ELECTRIC RACER "Hardly content with shattering the all-time record at Pikes Peak, Volkswagen wants its I.D. R Pikes Peak electric race car to be the one to beat on other tracks. It's taking the racer to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the south of England this week, with designs on setting not only the electric car record at the Goodwood Hillclimb, but perhaps the overall benchmark too." according to Engadget: "The Goodwood festival marks the competitive debut of VW's car in Europe, while it will also host the European debut of Tesla's Model 3."   https://www.engadget.com/2018/07/09/vw-pikes-peak-electric-race-car-goodwood-hillclimb/   MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER PHEV REMAINS UK’S NUMBER ONE PLUG-IN VEHICLE "The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV continues to be the UK’s best-selling plug-in electrified vehicle. Sales of Mitsubishi Motors’ petrol/electric plug-in hybrid SUV totalled 537 units in June and 3,732 units so far this calendar year, ahead of every other pure EV and plug-in hybrid on the market" as reported yesterday by Automotive world.     COMMUNITY   You can listen to all previous 175 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.
