Not surprisingly, the release of V-Facts car industry sales figures for 2024 early this week showed Toyota to once again dominate the new vehicle market, recording 241,296 sales, its 22 consecutive year of market leadership. Almost 1 in 5 cars sold last year was a Toyota with hybrid electric vehicles making up close to half the company’s annual tally. The mid-size Toyota RAV 4 was the top selling SUV for the fifth consecutive year with 58,718 sales, close to double the number sold in 2023, also becoming the country’s best selling hybrid vehicle. Clearly, whilst the overall car market achieved its best ever result last year on the back of strong sales in the first half, the market was far more subdued in the second half and faces a tough start this year off the back of several economic challenges.

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 29th Publish Date: August 29th Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Thursday, August 29th and Happy heavenly Birthday to actor Richard Attenborough. ***08.29.24 – BIRTHDAY – RICHARD ATTENBOROUGH*** I'm Dan Radcliffe and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Judge Extends Cobb Judicial Emergency for Another 30 Days Commission Kills ‘Home Rule' Map, Keeps Richardson 1 Injured in Tritt Elementary School Fire Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food. All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Judge Extends Cobb Judicial Emergency for Another 30 Days Chief Judge Gregory Poole has extended the "extraordinary" judicial emergency in Cobb County for 30 more days due to ongoing issues in the Cobb Superior Court Clerk's office, led by Connie Taylor. The emergency, initially declared on August 7, now extends to October 6. The extension addresses severe dysfunction in processing and managing court filings, compounded by a problematic transition from the old CRIS system to the new Icon system. While there has been some progress, issues such as scheduling difficulties, inaccurate notices, and backlog remain. Taylor's office faces staffing shortages and other challenges, with ongoing criticism and a state investigation into her handling of passport fees. STORY 2: Commission Kills ‘Home Rule' Map, Keeps Richardson On Tuesday night, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners decided to abandon its controversial "home rule" map, opting to use the state map instead, following a court ruling declaring the home rule map unconstitutional. However, the board voted against declaring Commissioner Jerica Richardson's seat vacant, allowing her to remain in office for now. There is ongoing debate about whether Richardson's term will end on December 31 or extend until her successor is elected. The situation remains legally ambiguous, with differing opinions on how long Richardson can serve. The board is moving forward to resolve the confusion and conclude the long-standing dispute over the district maps. STORY 3: 1 Injured in Tritt Elementary School Fire A fire at Tritt Elementary School early Tuesday morning, caused by an HVAC issue, led to one person being hospitalized for smoke inhalation. No students were in the building, as it was early in the day. Cobb Fire and Emergency Services quickly extinguished a small fire from an AC unit. Students were relocated to Hightower Trail Middle School for the day. Regular school operations are expected to resume the next day, with updated dismissal plans provided to parents. The school district thanked the fire department for their swift response. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We'll be right back Break: DRAKE STORY 4: Woman Killed in East-West Connector Collision On Wednesday morning, a collision on the East-West Connector in Smyrna resulted in the death of Hayleigh Curtis, 23, from Douglasville. Curtis's 2020 Honda Civic crossed the median into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a 2019 Toyota Rav-4 driven by Dominique Najhawan, 27, of Grovetown. Curtis was pronounced dead at the scene, while Najhawan suffered minor injuries and was taken to Kennestone Hospital. The cause of the lane deviation is under investigation. Cobb County Police are seeking additional information from witnesses. STORY 5: Patricia B. Terwilliger Family Foundation Sponsors Habitat Home On August 24, construction began on a Habitat for Humanity home in Austell, sponsored by the Patricia B. Terwilliger Family Foundation. Established in 2003, the foundation, led by Patricia and her daughters Tracy and Bonnie, focuses on supporting women and children's issues. The Terwilliger family, known for their long-time involvement with Habitat for Humanity and support for veterans, will actively participate in building the home alongside the future homeowner. The project, which aims to provide a safe and stable environment for a veteran and their family, is expected to be completed by early November. For more details, visit habitatnwma.org. We'll be back in a moment Break: INGLES 2 And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on fast food. ***INGLES – LEAH MCGRATH ON FAST FOOD*** We'll have closing comments after this.

Some of today's top storiesthe department of water resources conducted its third snow survey of the season yesterday morning, before a full-blown blizzard is expected to roll through the sierra nevada mountains. At Phillips Station, the DWR measured the water content of the sierra snowpack... showing a depth of 47 point 5 inches -- roughly four feet.. which is about 77 percent of the average for this time of year at that location. DWR's electronic readings from 130 stations placed throughout the state indicate the statewide snowpack's water equivalent is 80-percent of average for this date -- a significant improvement from just 28% of average on January 1st. We have new information on an accident near Buttonwillow, that sent two men to the hospital. The crash happened yesterday morning on the 58 east of Bussell Road. According to the CHP, the driver of a Toyota Rav-4 that was involved in an earlier crash was walking around the vehicle, surveying the damage. That's when another car going about 60 miles per hour, rear-ended the Toyota. Both drivers were taken to the hospital. Officials did not give an update on their conditions. CHP says the second driver was going too fast for the foggy conditions at the time of the crash, adding alcohol and/or drugs were not involved.The Kern County Coroner has identified a Bakersfield man who died in an early morning crash Tuesday on Zerker Road.Investigators say Eric Paul Hoffman drove off the road and crashed into multiple other cars.The 74-year-old died in the crash.Two other drivers were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

One of his masterpieces was a fiberglass camper/caravan. It had to meet a specific weight limit for his Toyota Rav 4. When he went touring, he put a green sticker on everything he used. When he got back, he would remove everything without a sticker. Yes, it helped with weight and fuel efficiency; however, it also removed clutter. Simple and effective. I apply his logic when I return from my summer break (Dec/Jan in Australia)Throughout the previous year, I have accumulated actions in my business. If I don't use them in January, I delete them. It simplifies my business and gives me space to add more during the year. Some examples I was writing a separate newsletter and Linkedin posts.

Rev. Dr. Doris García-Rivera is former president of the Evangelical Seminary of Puerto Rico (ESPR). The private mainline Protestant seminary in Río Piedras was founded in 1919 by a group of theological schools and biblical institutes of the Protestant denominations that arrived on the island after the Spanish-American War. Nearly a century later, in 2014, Dr. García-Rivera became the first woman president in the history of ESPR. Today, she is Professor of Old Testament and Mission and Evangelism in the Certificate in Hispanic Ministries at Lexington Theological Seminary, where she also serves as Academic Coordinator for Pathways for Tomorrow Grant. In this episode of OP Talks, HTI Executive Director Rev. Joanne Rodríguez talks to Dr. García-Rivera about the women who inspire her and the experiences that shaped her. They discuss Dr. García-Rivera's commitment to service, including her experience of being a missionary in rural areas of Latin American, and how she braved long roads, floods, and landslides to reach those areas. Her experiences as a missionary helped prepare Dr. García-Rivera for the natural disasters to come in her native island of Puerto Rico. When Hurricane Maria hit in 2017, she did not think twice about getting into her Toyota Rav 4 and heading to the seminary, where Dr. García-Rivera had already been serving as president for three years. “Even in the midst of this situation,” she says “we really still have the grace of God and the mercy of God.” Dr. García-Rivera would bring the seminary back to life after the hurricane, collaborating with multiple institutions and volunteers, as well as promoting continuing education and improving the seminary's information technology infrastructure. “I understood being well meant that I must move forward to be the leader needed at that time.” Her spirited grandmother Monserrate influenced Dr. García-Rivera in big and small ways. “She was the main model for me because of her resilience,” says Dr. García-Rivera. After becoming a widow at a young age and losing a child at birth, Monserrate did everything in her power to give her remaining four children an education and to expand their possibilities. She washed and ironed shirts for a wealthy family and later worked in the kitchen of a public school until retirement. Dr. García-Rivera remembers her grandmother as always servicing others—with a plan in mind. “She was very small, but you could not dare defy her. She was a strong woman.”
As we do periodically throughout the year, on this week's episode of The Weekly Driver Podcast co-host Bruce Aldrich and I get caught up on the automotive industry news. There's always a lot happening, and our topics cover a wide range. First, car names can mean a lot toward the success or failure of an automobile. We found a recent list on a prominent auto site that lists the top-25 worst car names in history. The list comes to mind with the not-too-long-ago naming of the pending new Ferrari sport utility vehicle. It will be called the Purosangue. The concept cars at 2021 LA Auto Show included the Mullen Five. The EV sedan hasn't been made. Image © Bruce Aldrich/2021. Ferrari, of course, has long been associated with horses and its "Prancing Pony" logo. The new Ferrari is named after the word for an Italian thoroughbred. It's pronounced PURO-o-SAN-gue, and it's a hideous name. The list of the 25 oddball names of cars is a fun read, so have a listen. Also on this episode this I will be attending the LA Auto Show this week (Nov, 16-18) while Bruce produces my daily podcast interviews from the Los Angeles Convention Center. Electric vehicles will again be emphasized this year, and VinFast, the Vietnamese manufacturer, will be again be part of that portion of the show. VinFast will be the first Vietnamese car available in the United States with the pending debut in 2023. Speaking of debuts, as always the LA Auto Show will have its share of global and North American debuts. Manufacturer ambassadors are always par of the LA Auto Show. Image © James Raia/2014. The 115th The LA Auto Show will be held Nov. 18-26 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Charge Cars, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, ElectraMeccanica, Fiat, Genesis, GMC, Hummer, Hyundai, INDI EV, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Porsche, Subaru, Supernal (Advanced Air Mobility), Volkswagen, Volvo and the abovementioned VinFast will have all exhibitions. But arguably the best bets, the most consistent, the cars for the every person, are presented every year. New models from the top-10 best-selling vehicles from 2021 will all be presented. Ford continued its dominance with the F-Series pickups accounting for 726,004 sales. The Ram pickup (569,388), Chevrolet Silverado (519,774), Toyota RAV-4 (407,739), Honda CR-V (361,271), Toyota Camry (313,795), Nissan Rogue (285,602), Jeep Cherokee (264,444), Toyota Highlander (264,128) and Honda Civic (263,787) completed the top-10. Despite the continuing chip shortage and Covid-19 ramifications, only the Chevrolet Silverado (down 13 percent), Ford F-Series pickup trucks (8 percent) and Toyota RAV4 (5 percent) had lower sales tallies in 2021 than in 2020. Bollinger Motors exhibited its concept vehicles for the past several years at the LA Auto Show. They've never been manufactured. Image © James Raia/2019. Manufacturers aren't required to detail what vehicles will be shown at the LA Auto Show. Some new offerings have been announced, others will be unveiled as late as the week of the show. Honda recently announced the public availability of the 315-horsepower 2023 Civic Type R. It's the most powerful production vehicle the manufacturer has ever sold, and its will have a starting MSRP of $42,895. Toyota has eliminated V6 Highlander, replacing for 2-23 with a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder. The new model will also feature new multimedia dashboard-area screens and new exterior paint choice, Cypress Green. The Weekly Driver Podcast encourages and appreciates feedback from our listeners.

Ricardo and David compare notes of the best-selling compact family cars. The Ford Escape, KIA Sorento, Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, and Toyota Rav 4. What is different and which should you buy? VW celebrates 20 years of the GOLF R, and there are only 1800 units of the Blue 6-speed manual german rocket. Is it worth it? Si o No?

220521 - Toyota Rav 4 et Concours d'élégance Villa d'Este by Derrière le Volant
Han venido y nadie sabe cómo ha sido. Nuestras calles y carreteras están llenas de coches grandes, altos, pesados, pero que no son todo terreno… de hecho la gran mayoría de ellos ni tiene tracción total. ¿Cómo ha podido pasar? ¿Cómo no lo vimos venir? Este vídeo es para aficionados de la “línea dura”… “¡Es que se veía venir!”. Bueno, pues quien diga esa frase referida a los SUV, que nos lo explique, porque hace unos años, no tantos, nadie imaginaba que los SUV iban a ser una verdadera plaga… pero ¿cómo empezó esto? ¿Nadie lo sabe? Nadie parece tener claro cómo empezó el fenómeno SUV, cuál fue el primero o cómo hemos llegado a la situación actual. Todo empieza en USA. Los norteamericanos fueron el primer país en motorizarse. De hecho, se podría decir que llegaron antes los coches que las carreteras. Éste es un dato importante, porque las infraestructuras crecieron muy deprisa, pero en un país tan grande, aún hoy, hay muchos pueblos, ranchos y casas de campo comunicadas por caminos. Otro dato importante: La Segunda Guerra Mundial provoca el nacimiento del Jeep, el primer todo terreno que se populariza y que rápidamente pasa a la vida civil. Más barato. A muchos americanos les gustan este tipo de coches, especialmente en un país donde el tamaño de los coches no importa tanto: Las ciudades son grandes y de nueva planta, con amplias calles y avenidas; mucha población vive en suburbios fuera de las ciudades o en el campo, donde no es problema aparcar un coche grande, y la gasolina es barata. Así que un coche grande y práctico les gusta… pero, ¿no puede ser más barato? La respuesta la tenía AMC. ¿Y qué hizo? Poner un sistema de tracción integral a un coche, digamos que normal, como era el AMC Concord. ¿Qué pasa en Europa? Europa sigue otro camino. ¿Por qué? Porque sus ciudadanos de a pie no pueden comprarse coches caros, grandes y que además sean todo terreno, unas cualidades que al europeo medio no le sirven de nada. Al Europeo medio, no, pero al de clase alta, sobre todo si es inglés, sí. Los ingleses inventan los TT de lujo, pues el Range Rover es el primer TT que es cómodo para viajar, pero es único coche en el momento de su aparición en 1970, con el que podías hacer TT para ir a tu finca, ir de caza y luego darle un manguerazo e ir al Club de Golf o al Casino. Por otro camino, los europeos llegan al mismo punto: Los coches de TT, grandes, altos, “poderosos” entre comillas, pero con una gran vocación asfáltica. El concepto SUV. SUV significa como sabéis sport utility vehicle una denominación que, traducida literalmente como vehículo utilitario deportivo, puede llamar a engaño. Esa deportividad no se refiere al coche, sino al estilo de vida de los usuarios. La ecuación es muy clara: Los usuarios buscan un coche con estética de todo terreno, habitable, con buen maletero, buena accesibilidad, puesto de conducción alto y que, en un momento dado, les permita ir por un camino sin dar en los bajos… Y las marcas lo tienen muy en cuenta y piensan, ¿y si hacemos una especie de TT más refinado, pero sin tracción total? Muchos sostienen que uno de los primeros SUV fue el Toyota RAV 4, cuyo nombre proviene de “Recreational Activity Vehicle 4-Wheel Drive”, un refinado TT con buenas cualidades en asfalto pero que prescindía de la tracción total. No estoy de acuerdo. “Mea culpa”. Desde luego, la llegada masiva de los SUV yo no la vi venir. Porque reconozco que cuando probé en 1999 el primer Honda HRV de solo tracción delantera, me encantó. Para mí es el primer SUV moderno, un coche con aspecto de TT refinado y con un comportamiento en carretera destacado. Seguridad mal entendida. Si preguntas a los usuarios porque se han comprado un SUV te responderán: “porque es más seguro”. Pues no es verdad. No me voy a enrollar porque ya hicimos un video titulado “Coches SUV y TT: Mentiras sobre la seguridad”. Y es que los SUV no son más seguros. Los SUV ahora. Mi opinión es que estamos andando el camino inverso. Los SUV eran coches que querían parecerse a un TT y ahora vemos en sentido contrario: Los SUV ya no son tan altos ni tan cuadrados ni quieren parecerse a un TT. No me echo atrás. No te equivoques, no os equivoquéis, no es que me desdiga de lo que dije cuando hice el vídeo de “Sin pelos en la lengua, odio los SUV” o el de “Lo siento, pero sigo odiando a los SUV”. Es que, en mi opinión, los SUV están dejando de ser SUV para convertirse en coches normales, algo más altos, prácticos y habitables. Coche del día. ¡Vamos a olvidar los SUV y a elegir un súper deportivo! Y he escogido nada menos que el Pagani Huayra. Ya sabéis que seguimos escogiendo como coches del día modelos de los que puedes disponer en el nuevo GT7 para Playstation. Y después de tanto SUV nada mejor que un coche muy exclusivo fabricado con cuenta gotas por Horacio Pagani.

2004 Toyota Rav 4 MPG. What do I need for a Tune-Up? 2006 Toyota Tacoma. Should I replace the ignition coils? 2018 Buick Enclave digital speed display is dead. Can it be fixed? LCD dash displays. Are they better than before? Brighter, faster, stronger. 2006 Chevy Cobalt Transmission won't shift and hunts for gears. Fluid level? Speedometer and gages are wonky. Ford F550 with 6.4 Diesel engine. How much boost should it have? Does it have a tuner? 2018 For Edge. When should you change the spark plugs? Do they wear out and fall into engine? 2017 Lexus RX350 Brake noise after replacing the brakes complete. What do I need to do?
Er zijn vorig jaar 16 procent minder personenauto's gestolen dan in 2020. Dat is de grootste daling in vijf jaar tijd, meldt het Landelijk Intelligence- en expertisecentrum Voertuigcriminaliteit (LIV). Er werden vorig jaar 5404 auto's gestolen. SUV's, zoals de Nissan Qashqai en Toyota RAV 4, zijn in trek bij autodieven. Het meest gestolen model is de Volkswagen Golf. Er werden vorig jaar meer gestolen auto's teruggevonden. Het zogenaamde terugvindpercentage is gestegen naar 45 procent. Verder in de auto-update: De politie krijgt het steeds drukker met geluidsoverlast in het verkeer, schrijft De Telegraaf. Wil je de nieuwe Land Cruiser bestellen? Er is een wachtlijst van vier jaar voor het model, bevestigt Toyota. Ford heeft een bijzonder patent aangevraagd in Amerika.

¿Se puede conseguir un coche que valga la pena por menos de 9.000 euros? Que sea atractivo, divertido y, además, una buena inversión ¿Es posible? ¡Claro que sí! Hay muchas y muy buenas oportunidades por debajo de ese precio… Os he traído 10 que a mi me seducen especialmente… ¡Me gustan estos vídeos! ¿Por qué? Porque me imagino comprando todos y cada uno de estos coches… os lo aseguro. Y no soy el único. En mi época de las revistas de papel aprendí muchísimo, entre otras cosas, que los aficionados al automóvil siempre estamos comprando coche… ¿Qué condiciones he buscado en los 10 coches de esta lista? Futuros clásicos Que sean una buena inversión. En esto soy claro: Si inviertes en coches hay que tener paciencia, los precios no cambian de un día para otro. Si quieres incrementar tus ahorros y tienes prisa, juega en bolsa o compra criptomonedas. Pero tienen otras dos ventajas, pues unas acciones pueden desplomarse y no es divertido tenerlas, y un coche si lo cuidas siempre retiene algún valor y mientras lo tienes, lo disfrutas. Coches con encanto O bien por su carrocería, por sus prestaciones, por su rareza o por todo a la vez, considero que los coches que están en esta lista son coches “con encanto”. Ya sabéis que revindico esto de los coches “con encanto” como hay en los hoteles, restaurantes o viviendas. De hecho, las novedades de nuestra Web se hacen con este criterio. Precio asequible Lo que es asequible para uno y para otros, no es cosa sencilla, cada uno tiene su economía. Pero he puesto un tope de 9.000 €. Todos o casi todos se pueden conseguir por menos, incluso bastante menos, lo que para mi los convierte en coches razonablemente asequible. ¡Ojo! He puesto precios de referencia en el titulo y luego he escogido una unidad concreta y real del mercado español. Que sean "usables" Lo digo siempre, si eres viajante de comercio, no es una buena compra. Pero si tienes otro coche o este lo vas a usar poco y prácticamente fines de semana. Son una buena compra. Os recuerdo lo de siempre: “Reservar una partida de dinero para hacer un mantenimiento mínimo antes de usarlo”, correa o cadena de distribución a la menor duda, consumibles y ojo con los neumáticos. Y vamos ya con nuestra lista de los 10 elegidos por orden alfabético. 1. Audi A4 Cabrio (2004-2005). Desde 6.000 €. 2. Audi 4 2.5 V6 TDi (2004-2006). Desde 6.000 €. 3. Fiat Coupé (1993-2000). Desde 6.000 €. 4. Fiat X 1/9 (1972-1989). Desde 5.000 €. 5. Honda Prelude V Generación (1997-2001). Desde 4.000 €. 6. Opel Monza GSE 3.0 (1982-1986). Desde 8.000 €. 7. Renault 19 Cabrio (1992-1995).

Since the 1990s, we’ve been seeing the same kind of commercials: sweeping vistas of the American wilderness, forests and clear streams, rocky ledges, perhaps a dusting of snow. And, cutting through the landscape, a jeep or an SUV. No other cars in sight. Such a vision would seem to be fraught with contractions. For starters, this is not how most of us experience driving. Where we experience roads and traffic, SUV ads give us off-roading in beautiful country, using nature to sell technology. And, yet, these ads are clearly effective.I discuss these fantasies of wilderness used to sell us cars with Christopher Schaberg, Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English at Loyola University New Orleans, who has written several books on airports and air travel and who wrote a Master’s thesis relating SUV ads to American nature writing.We look at the history of car advertising in the U.S. and the evolving role of nature (or, rather, Nature) in relation to the car. What do these commercials tell us about the enduring role of wilderness as a symbol of American history and patriotism? What do they tell us about how we feel about cars these days and how the car manufacturers want us to feel about cars?A few notes. The Baobab Car is actually by Arnauld Laval and Jaqueline Held, not to be confused with Timothy's Dream Book by Pierre Le-Tan.Here's the Joe Biden commercial we talk about; the "tiger under the hood" commercial from 1965; the Toyota Rav 4 commercial, "Chase the Unknown"; Ford Bronco's "Built Wild"; Lincoln Aviator's "Warm Escape" commercial with Matthew McConaughey; and the Jeep Wrangler 4xe commercial, "Pale Blue Dot."

Two teens who were initially listed as missing in northern BC are now considered armed, dangerous suspects in the murders of two young tourists and an unidentified older man. RCMP Sergeant Janelle Shoihet says 19-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky -- both Port Alberni residents -- have been confirmed to be travelling in northern Saskatchewan, driving a 2011 Toyota Rav 4. Investigators have not released many other details, saying they don't want to jeopardize the investigation, but until this morning it was believed the teens had vanished while driving to Yukon in search of work. Their burning camper van was found last Friday, just a short distance away from the site where the body of the unidentified older man was found -- and nearly 500 kilometres from the Liard Hot Springs area where Australian Lucas Fowler and American Chynna Deese were murdered more than a week ago.

This is episode 12 and it's being recorded July 1st, 2019. Welcome back Vehicle 2.0 listeners. Uh, we're recording this here in early July. Hopefully this has given you some content for your July 4th travels. Uh, in this episode we have a real exciting treat for you. We're excited to welcome on the show, Loren McDonald. He's the author of the book "Gas Station Zero", editor and contributor to EVAdoption.com contributor to Clean Technica and an all around EV expert. Welcome to the Vehicle 2.0 Podcast. Loren! Loren: [01:31] Great. Thanks for having me, Scott. Really excited about the conversation today. Scot: [01:35] Yeah, me too. We've, uh, I've, I've been a f a Twitter follower and, and read a lot of your content. Um, you know, I think what I've found as I've dug into, I come from the ecommerce world and as I've dug into this world, uh, there's, there's not many people that actually have original content. There's a lot of republishing of the same kind of stuff. And, uh, what I love about your content is, you know, very originally sourced and in a lot of unique thinking there. Before we dig into that though, um, let's talk about your career path. What, what got you into this automotive motive space and writing on this topic? Loren: [02:10] Yeah. So I, I'm, you know, complete outsider, if you will, to the, the automotive and in EV world. I started my career in marketing and PR way, way back in 1984. So 35 years into kind of my, my marketing consulting career have been, uh, you know, CML marketing executive consultant at, uh, a variety of companies over the years. Mostly sort of BDB professional services. But the last a sort of 15, 20 years in the marketing technology space, um, and really kind of the last 15 years spend functioning as a, as a marketing evangelists are flying around the world. Uh, speaking at conferences, meeting with clients, doing a lot of writing and research and stuff. And ultimately that's, you know, kind of the transition to what I'm, I'm doing in the electric vehicle space. Uh, about five years ago I started a blog where I was writing about all things green. Loren: [03:04] The use the, the name Loren Green. If, uh, you, uh, older people on this, they'll get the, uh, the connection there with Lauren Green, the old a actor from the high chaparral. But, uh, what I was doing was writing about a bit of everything and sort of the green space, everything from how to reduce, uh, you know, packaging and, uh, increase recycling and reduce use of water. This was back in the days of, uh, the drought in California, solar power and electric vehicles. And what I quickly found was as I couldn't sort of be an expert on all of those topics and I decided, uh, to sort of pick electric vehicles and that was the one that I was sort of most intrigued by about how are we going to sort of solve this problem, right? Well, what is going to drive people to actually want to, uh, uh, you know, transition to electric vehicles. Loren: [03:58] So that sort of when I started about three years ago, uh, the Evie adoption site and as you mentioned also sort of riding for clean, technical, etc. And so really have, you know, taken my career as sort of a marketer and consultant and strategist and somebody focused on research and data and have tried to focus, uh, on that aspect of them solving the problem, using data of when, you know, when are consumers going to, uh, you know, adopt, uh, electric vehicles, uh, in a, in a really significant way. Well, and is this your first full time gig now or are kind of still a hobby? Wish it was Scott. I'm working towards that. Um, but, uh, it, it is something I do is sort of, uh, on the side, if you will. So a lot of, a lot, a lot of weekends, uh, uh, and, and, and evenings and things like that. Loren: [04:55] But, uh, you know, instead of, uh, instead of being out working in the yard or, or riding a bicycle or spending time with my wife on weekends, I'm uh, you know, chained to my laptop, writing articles and doing great research. But I have to ask, uh, do you drive an Evie? I do. At the moment we actually have two Tesla model essence. Uh, so, uh, got our first one, two and a half years ago and actually just picked up or actually it was delivered to our house. Uh, the second one last, last Sunday. And I've gone from the low end model s which had, uh, about, uh, 200 and a little under 210 miles of range to one that now is 335 miles of range. And so I'm really excited to, uh, put that to the test on road trips when we take our daughter back to us college in southern California later this summer. So a show, we'll, we'll, we'll dive into these and road trips a little bit later in this conversation. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, I'm a, Scot: [05:58] I had a model s or a pretty early on in 2012 and then a side graded to a model three, so, so also live in that as la UV lifestyle with you. Loren: [06:07] Nice, Nice. Scot: [06:09] Cool. We're here on the podcast. We have a framework for the Vehicle 2.0 framework where we talk about the four big changes coming to the auto industry. We talk about connected car changing ownership models, uh, autonomy, and then of course, uh, evs. So we want to spend the bulk of our time with you talking about evs. I thought it'd be good to kind of, you know, talk about kind of from a timeframe perspective, uh, where you see things today in the u s and then we can kind of expand from there. Loren: [06:36] Yeah. So we're, we're really quite, quite early for any, uh, sort of, uh, techie geeks. I, I refer to this, we're probably in the palm trio phase. I don't know. Scott, did you ever own a palm trio? Uh, I did. Yes, you did. Yes. And you'd know what I'm talking about, right? We're, we're in that phase of, of where primarily sort of early adopters and I, and I use technology and, and I'm a big fan of, of um, uh, the sort of that w what's commonly known as the technology adoption curve. This idea of how consumers, basically, with any sort of new technology product, they start off kind of the innovators, uh, you know, really, uh, only, uh, for geeks people that are willing, uh, and can afford to sort of pay more for products they want to, uh, own or drive, whatever the latest and greatest thing is. Loren: [07:29] And then it Kinda goes up ultimately into, um, what's called sort of the, you know, early majority, late majority then, then, then laggards. And in, in most markets in the u s and around the world, we're still in that sort of innovator phase of, you know, kind of under two and a half percent. Um, it obviously varies dramatically by market, but in, in the u s today across the u s worried about 2%, meaning, uh, two out of every 100 a new vehicles that are purchased across the US today are electric vehicles. And when I say electric, um, I'm including in that both what we call PHEV plug in hybrids. Those are things like the, the Chevrolet volts and the um, the Ford fusion energy where it has a small battery pack and you can uh, uh, drive on a what's typically anywhere from sort of 20 to have a little under 50 miles range on electric. Loren: [08:30] And then gas engine kicks, kicks in, but you can then recharge that battery, um, by, by plugging it in at home or the workplace or whatever. And then a, what we refer to as be evs, battery electric vehicles. And those are things as you and I talked about, the Tesla model s uh, and three, the Chevrolet Bolt, uh, many, many other factors that, uh, only have electric motors and battery packs is so fully electric. And, um, so again, where we are today in the u s is, uh, is about 2%, but then when you break the country down, it is sort of, we have a fascinating picture, Scott, in that it varies sort of dramatically by sort of state and market. So California finished 2018 at just under 8%, meaning, uh, you know, that almost, and we should hit and we actually hit the 10% in the last few months of, of 2010, we'll probably finish 2019 little under 10%. Loren: [09:31] But in essence, in California, across the entire state, one out of 10 of every new vehicles purchased, uh, is an electric car. And, uh, and most of them, in fact, about 40% of them are, are the Tesla model three these days. But then if you go to a state such as, you know, Oklahoma or Louisiana or whatever it is, it's like 0.2, 2%. And so literally what we have is we have this sort of huge dichotomy and chasm in the United States where you have California, where people are literally buying evs at a rate of 40 to 50 times that of people in, in sort of southern states. And so it's, it's sort of really fascinating. And then if you break that down even further in a, in a city like Palo Alto, which is obviously a sort of a wealthy higher income, high tech community, we're approaching 50%, literally one out of every two cars being purchased there are, are electric. Um, and now where I live in, in the bay area, in the suburbs, we're at about 15%, 20%. And so, you know, that's a long answer to your question Scott, but, but fundamentally, no, across the u s we are still really, really early. But if you look at sort of individual markets, we are sort of well down in the path of adoption. Scot: [10:53] Yeah. Very cool. Um, and then I've seen, I think I've seen Tesla or I can't remember who talked about it, but there's a certain definition of a car where, where they're one of the top sellers where, you know, I think they put the model three into a, uh, you know, a price range, and then it's like a four door, and then in that category of they're outselling the BMWs and Mercedes, the Honda's and the, you know, so another interesting slice where you're starting to see, you know, the, a fair amount of adoption within a pretty narrow definition. Loren: [11:22] Yeah. If you look at sort of the, that sort of luxury sedan market, if you will. So the, the, uh, as you mentioned, sort of, you know, the, the, the BMW three series, Audi a fours, uh, the Mercedes c class, uh, the, the, uh, Lexis, yes. I believes in that market and stuff. The Tesla model three is actually crushing it, right. In sort of that, uh, sort of, you know, 30 to 40, you know, 30 to thousand dollars, depending on what configuration you get of those different vehicles. The, you know, the model three is, uh, uh, is, is, you know, outselling all of those cars by a pretty significant way. And so what's, what's interesting about that, Scott, is that, well, we're seeing the most of the u s and Japanese automakers still sort of laggards on, on launching new models. The German car makers get this right because they're the ones that are actually seeing sort of direct competition from Tesla. I actually start to eat it into either end of the market share and I know we're going to sort of dive into that a little bit more, uh, in a bit. But that's sort of a, a fascinating sort of side effect of, of Tesla success. Scot: [12:33] Cool. And then, um, I know you've done a lot of really interesting research kind of putting on your, your consumer marketing hat about, you know, what I guess what's, what's driving adoption in, in areas like California and Palo Alto, and then, you know, what's slowing down adoption, what are, what are some of the consumer insights you've drawn from that? Loren: [12:53] Yeah. So, you know, fundamentally, again, what I came up with this framework, uh, about three years ago that I called Karma c a r m a the sort of as a way to kind of think about, um, what are the different factors that that will ultimately drive mass adoption of electric vehicles and, and you know, sort of the, the letter Stanford charging range and speed, affordability, range model availability and awareness and understanding and well, fundamentally that's why the Tesla is sort of, is, is doing so well and that it's, it's pretty much solved most all of these problems, right? So first and foremost, as we all know, consumers that, that are thinking about, uh, potentially. And in Evie you're considering it or just learning about it, there's sort of first, you know, common concern is his range and what we call range anxiety, right? Mo, most cars available in the u s today, especially with sort of the, you know, SUV as larger SUV have north of 400 miles of, of a range and the gas car right and sort of varies anywhere from about three 50 to almost sort of 500. Loren: [14:08] And so consumers have been trained that their car should go, you know, roughly three 50 to 400 miles on a, on a tank of gas. And so their expectation is, is that an electric car should sort of match that. Right. And so know that's where sort of, you know, again, Tesla has done really well in sort of reaching that sort of higher income market that has been able to afford their luxury cars with over 300 miles of range or in some cases a little bit under that. But, uh, and they're going to come out, uh, the, the rumor is by the end of this year with a model s that we'll actually have 400 miles of range. So they're sort of getting to that point of you, at least from a range perspective, consumers who can afford the electric cars will, will not be able to sort of use sort of the, the lack of range of an issue, but fundamentally w you know, range is sort of sort of that, that sort of first starting point. Loren: [15:06] In other words, if you're, if you're going into a car dealer and considering a car, that is sort of the sort of the first step that, that people have to get over. The second one, uh, is, is, uh, I think, um, you know, just sort of affordability, right? And again, the, the challenge today with, uh, sort of both sort of supply and demand of electric vehicles is, is because of the, the cost of the battery packs is still pretty significant and it tends to be about a 20 to 30% of the cost of the vehicle. And so the, the battery pack prices are coming down significantly, but there's still, you know, too high as a, as a percentage of the vehicle. And so when you're looking at comparable vehicles, so if you're looking at a particular car model that has both the gas, uh, uh, you know, motor and an electric motor, and there are several on on the market like that where you can actually get different sort of powertrains, it's often anywhere between five to $20,000 difference. Loren: [16:10] Right. And so in a case like that, it's sort of very apparent to someone that, you know, electric cars sort of cost significantly more. So we've got it, you know, yeah. Get the cost of them down. That's sort of the second, second big thing. And again, we're gonna, we're gonna get there probably in about seven years. That's what McKinsey and, and Bloomberg and many other, uh, research organizations have sort of predicting as that, that sort of cost comparison, that cost parity will come in probably around 2025, you know, plus or minus years that, you know, that's sort of the third piece of this is just making cars that, that people want. And so, as, as you know, Scott pickup trucks are really, really popular in, in, in the u s you know, the Ford, uh, F-150 is the top selling vehicle in the u s the sort of the top six vehicles sold every year in the u s are either SUV slash crossovers or pickups, right? Loren: [17:12] And there just aren't a, today there aren't any electric pickups and B, there aren't really any sort of affordable, uh, crossovers that can compete with something like a Toyota Rav four and stuff like that. And those are sort of the hot markets, right? And so, you know, we're just, there's not sort of competitive vehicles, um, uh, available. And then, you know, I would, uh, just sort of talk about kind of awareness and understanding, right? People just still don't even know what evs are and they think there's sort of something, uh, you know, kind of from the future and, and, um, and, and that's really where the neighborhood effect comes in, right? That's why they're doing so well in markets like California where people just like solar. There's been a lot of research around solar, right? You put solar on your house, your neighbor is more likely to go solar. Loren: [18:03] And that's what's happening in markets like California where people just see all the Teslas and electric cars running around and they become more comfortable. If it's okay for my, it's okay for me. And so we've just, you know, got to sort of do a better job of, of making them available and, and, and making people aware of them and that, that they actually really are a good fit for them. And then the last piece, um, is, is, is charging speed, right? I've talked to a lot of people, I've talked to everybody I know about, you know, when you will, uh, think you might be willing to go. And a lot of people will say, I will not consider electric car until it, it charges in the same amount of time that it takes me to refill my car. Right. Which is about five minutes. And we're, we're a long ways away from that. And so people are going to have to accept the charging is, is, is sort of very different, uh, than, uh, you know, that sort of refueling. Got It. Scot: [19:01] Cool. So the, um, so the main cost difference is the batteries and um, you said about seven years we should get to some kind of parody. Is that because battery production kind of gets to where it needs to be or, or, or what is the driving factor on that? Loren: [19:15] Yeah, it's a combination of things. Scott one, as you mentioned, it's just, it's like any sort of product, right? It's sort of volume, right? So right now, you know, there's, there's a last year worldwide, about 4 million evs were sold. And again, that's across both the, you know, the, the, the full battery electric vehicles and plug in hybrids and stuff. And so that's relatively speaking, you know, there was like 80 million vehicles sold last year in the world. That's sort of a small volume. And so the first part of it is, is just like, you know, smart phones or computers or refrigerators. Any other kind of product like that is, is that the price will come down when sort of the battery production sort of scales up. That's the first part of it. The second part of it is, is just um, improving, uh, manufacturing efficiencies, improving the actual, uh, makeup of, of, of the battery packs and selves. Loren: [20:10] We probably don't, don't have time to go sort of deep in into today, but there, there continues to be a lot of um, uh, improvements and developments in, in the actual sort of battery cells themselves. We're seeing in the, in the, in the future we're going to have something called solid state batteries, right, which were moved sort of the liquid in the batteries. And Long Story Short, Scott is that's going to probably double or triple in essence, the energy density of those batteries, which will a obviously, uh, mean that you can produce, you know, a three, 400 mile range battery for, you know, let's say half the cost that, that we, that we are today. So part of it is just sort of, it's, it's still a relatively new emerging technology, if you will. And it's just going to take, you know, five, seven, 10 years to kind of to get there. Scot: [21:00] Do you think lithium ion is going to be kind of the underlying technology that we bet on or do you think some other technology has a shot? Loren: [21:08] Yeah, so lithium ion is obviously the sort of the, the, the goto today, but, but again, I think we're, we're going to see a solid state battery sort of being the, uh, I think sort of the next wave and the next successor. Um, and, and again, it's just a, a sort of a variation if you will, on the lithium ion batteries that it removes that, um, sort of the, the liquid. And so the dendrites don't build up as much. And so basically, uh, you know, you just, you have sort of a higher, higher energy density. There are, there are other sort of technology's out there being, being talked about, but, but I think solid state seems to be the one that most people think is, is ultimately going to kind of be the, be the winner. And again, that's, that's probably, um, seven years, uh, seven to 10 years from being, um, like in electric cars that we would buy. Again from those perspective, it's just, it's a manufacturing and scale perspective that they already have sort of the technology. They just don't have the ability to mass produce those, those batteries yet. Scot: [22:17] Well, who's a, where could we learn more about solid state batteries? Is there like a certain company that's doing this or, or is it like out of a university? Loren: [22:26] Yeah, there, there's several of them. Uh, I've, I've, I had the, the pleasure to interview, uh, one CEO of one company called uh, uh, solid power out of Colorado. They were sort of spun out out of University of Boulder. Uh, Toyota is, is, is working on solid state battery. Dyson, the vacuum cleaner company for lack of a, a better term is walking on one. There are several other, are the universities and companies working on them as well. But those are some of the kind of the, the leaders, uh, Toyota, you know, is claiming that there are solid state battery next year. But, uh, I'm a little little bit dubious on that and think that, uh, showcasing it and actually putting it in a, in a car is, are two different things. Scot: [23:20] Cool. And then a on the lithium ion side. So Tesla built or, or as you know, has built a portion of the gigafactory in, uh, Nevada I believe. Uh, and then aren't they starting a factory in China as well? We'll those two factories kind of, um, you know, give them enough capacity to keep growing and, and kind of, you know, drive up the adoption at least on the Tesla side. Loren: [23:42] Yeah. So you're correct. So it's a, the, the, the gigafactory one like they call it, which is up outside of, of, of Reno, Nevada is a joint venture with, with Panasonic. And the challenge they've had there is just as you say, is they have not been able to actually keep up with demand. In fact, if you're familiar with some of the Tesla energy products, they have the, uh, the, the power wall and the power pack, which are sort of the, the backup battery storage, both for residential and commercial. And they basically had to take the production that was planned for those two products. And actually, but, uh, towards the model three and I'm actually, and so, yes. So the sort of the, the supply of battery packs continues to be sort of the, the biggest alums market. Um, and as you mentioned, China has actually completed the building of their, what they're calling gigafactory three in, in China insurance. Loren: [24:49] And, um, now they're actually, uh, working on, uh, building out the inside of the factory and installing equipment and stuff. They literally, it was sort of amazing that they built this, this factory in six months from literally a literally buying the property and, and getting up is pretty amazing. But those batteries are going to be battery packs and that factory are from everything we know going to be just for the Tesla model three in the model wise that will be sold in China. So that's probably not going to help solve any problem, uh, for, you know, for other, our other markets you up and, and the u s and stuff. And so that week does not go by when, uh, one of the, the, the OEMs, uh, you know, announces yet another, uh, either partnership or plan building a new battery factory. Several of them, uh, are, are being built down in the, in the south, in the US, uh, as an example. But, uh, yeah, so scaling up those, those battery factories, uh, is today literally the sort of the single biggest challenge to sort of growth of the market. They just can't keep up with supply or with demand. Excuse me. Scot: [26:03] Interesting. And then on the models, you talked about a pickup trucks and Teslas working on one. A lot of people are skeptical if, you know, given they're there, they're always announcing things and not delivering on time. Uh, but another one that we've been watching closely as Rivian, um, have you, you think they'll get to market first with their pickup truck? Loren: [26:21] They probably will. There was, and the, you know, there's not another company called work horse out of the Midwest that was been working on a, uh, on a, on a, uh, pickup truck. Uh, but they've been having some financial issues and stuff lately, so it's, uh, unclear what's going to happen with them. But yeah, ravion is a, is a really exciting company and Amazon and some other companies invested a $700 million into them. And, uh, as well as Ford has, is, is now invested in them. So they're at a really sort of exciting company to watch, unlike sort of Tesla and, and faraday future and some of the other sort of evs startups. They sort of remained in stealth mode for, for, for many, many years. And then finally came out and showed their sort of, uh, you know, concept, uh, versions of their pickup truck and an SUV and they're actually gorgeous and, and, uh, you know, really sort of amazing looking. Loren: [27:23] They've designed them literally from the ground up as evs. So there's like spots where you can put golf clubs through the side of the vehicle, uh, add on camping accessories to tap into the battery power. So they're, they're, they're very exciting. The problem with them is that, you know, they're basically, you know, 70 to a hundred thousand dollars pickup trucks. And, um, and so, well, their sort of dream pickup trucks, they're not gonna take the Midwest by storm, which is ultimately what what we need, right? So these are going to still be a lot of, you know, Silicon Valley and people on the coast who, who might've purchased a, you know, a Tesla or similar sort of electric luxury vehicle. Now getting excited about being the first one on their block to own a, a, a Caribbean electric pickup truck that, you know, that I think is, is actually going to be amazing, you know, three to 400 miles of range and just just, uh, amazing features. Loren: [28:22] But I think, you know, it's, it's, it's gonna prove that you can build an amazing pickup truck and that'll, that'll sort of pushed some of the other auto makers to sort of speed up it, but it's only going to take away sales from, you know, the very end highlight Ford Raptors, right, that are in that sort of 70, $80,000 range, thousand dollar range. In other words, it's not, it's not going to directly compete with that $40,000 kind of Ford F-150 or you know, or Chevrolet Silverado or whatever it is. So it's a, it's exciting. I expected to do really well with Amazon and Ford and others behind it. There doesn't seem to be any, uh, uh, you know, issues about will they survive. It's just that, how quickly can, can they scale and ultimately build pickups. An SUV is that maybe reach, you know, kind of below the luxury market. Scot: [29:22] Cool one. Um, uh, you talked about costs and for a while there we had a, a national subsidy. And then I think those have gone away, but there's still some state subsidies. We're, where are we on subsidies for, for enticing people to jump into the pond. Loren: [29:38] Yeah. So, so actually, no, so the, the federal electric vehicle tax credit is, we sort of commonly commonly refer to it is still, uh, it's still available. The way, the way it works is that, uh, it's based on each, uh, manufactures. So, uh, the, and, and the amount of the federal tax credit varies by the, the, the, the IRS basically has a, uh, a formula for it. But, uh, if the battery pack is of kind of a certain size, so it can be a plugin hybrid or a full electric, um, the maximum tax spread and get a $7,500, um, and then, uh, the, the smallest I think is about 1,750. I forget the exact amount, sort of, uh, for some, some vehicles and sort of everything in between. Again, sort of based on that sort of battery pack size. But once a, an auto maker sells 200,000 electric vehicles beginning from 2010, it starts kind of a, a complicated, uh, phase out, right? Loren: [30:49] So that get too into the weeds. But basically, uh, that tax credit phased out over, uh, nine quarters, if you will, and gets cut in half. And Tesla actually as of today, uh, their tax credit was cut, uh, uh, in half. Uh, and so it's down now to, or I think it's been cutting twice, half now. So it's down now to God, I forget the amount, but it's like 1,350 or something like that. Uh, I should know that, but it, but bakes look getting, it's been cut in half twice. And so this is the last, um, two quarters where you can get any kind of tax credit, uh, on Tesla models. Chevrolet also reached the General Motors also reached the $200,000, uh, threshold. Um, but they're, they did it a couple of quarters behind so you could still have several more quarters for their models and there's basically nobody else close. Scott Nissan and Ford are still about, uh, 80, 90,000 vehicles away and they don't have sort of any volume of EBS. Loren: [32:00] And so the tax credit in essence for the other 30 manufacturers or whatever is, is still sort of widely available and will be for many years. Um, but, uh, and then at, as you mentioned at the state level, by the way, I should, I should mention there, there's a lot of, uh, momentum to either by a certain people in oil companies that are to get rid of that federal tax credit and then by proponents of it to actually change it in an extended and, and change how it's actually calculated so that there isn't that 2000 sort of threshold. Um, but then as you mentioned, um, a lot of states actually have, uh, either rebates or tax credits. California for example, where I live has one, um, you Lotta utilities, uh, also have them. So like the Pacific gas and electric here in California, in southern California, Edison, et Cetera. Loren: [33:04] I'll have different ones, but it's Tenley tends to be about like $500. Uh, many states have tax credits of say, $2,500, or you know, a thousand, something like that. And then there are also many other sort of incentives or benefits such as access to the eight year v Lane, uh, and, and things like that. So there, there's still a lot of opportunities to in essence reduce your, your overall cost of that electric vehicle through, uh, through these various incentives. Very cool. And then, um, I've heard some states are considering actually, uh, you know, the opposite of subsidies, which would be increasing, uh, effectively a targeted tax, I guess, on, on evs. And I think their argument is we're losing all this tax income from the markup and gasoline. Have any states enacted that or are they just kind of chattering about it at this point? Loren: [33:56] Uh, it's, it's a little bit of both. There's, there's a lot of chatter. Uh, I think it was Illinois proposed like a thousand dollar registration fee. And then I think just like a week ago, it was, uh, it did not pass. Um, but there are some states that have past ones of like, it's like sort of double the registration of sort of a gas vehicle or they've added additional hundred or $200 and things like that. So yeah, you're, you're absolutely correct. There are, um, uh, some states that, um, are, are an acting anything from sort of small to fairly significant, uh, ways either sort of, typically it's sort of a registration fee. There's sort of increasing that, um, at basically it just as you said, as a way to say how do we recapture sort of the, the gas tax, uh, you know, w uh, gas taxes that we get to fund, uh, infrastructure, roads and bridges and things like that. Loren: [34:58] And that's actually a topic that, uh, I'm really gonna sort of dive into pretty significantly over the next couple of months, Scott. Cause it's, it's one that really fascinates me cause there are, there's about a half a dozen different models that people are talking about. Uh, but, but none have sort of emerged and this is not just the US and state issue. This is a global issue, right? Like nobody has actually figured out what is going to be kind of the most equitable, fair way and makes everybody happy to do this. And some of it sort of big brothery like people are talking about, they would track your mileage. Other people talk about you take your car in for an annual checkup and they'd look at the mileage thing, you'd be assessed a fee. Uh, there's electricity taxes, there's just flat registration, there's tire, you know, tire taxes. There's like all these things being floated and um, you know, none have, none have actually sort of emerged yet. And so meanwhile you're seeing just what you talked about Scott, which is states and sort of some states are just saying we don't know what the right answer is, but we're gonna, we're gonna Start, uh, taxing more. It's charging these fees because we know even though it's only a couple percent of, of the new vehicles that it's coming and we need to start, start generating that, that sort of revenue, recapturing that lost revenue in some way. Yeah. It's funny cause it seems so misaligned with, you know, Scot: [36:23] they'll try to be green and reduce carbon footprint. Everything did that you would create a disincentive for going EV. It just kind of, Loren: [36:30] yeah. And, and that's, yeah, that's a really good point in that, you know, depending on how you view of the world, right. Many people think that, that, that in fact, yes, we should look at sort of the, the actual impact that the internal combustion engine has, that we're actually not charging for it, right. Everything from, you know, sort of air pollution to, uh, carbon emissions and things like that. And so, you know, then that gets to a sort of a whole nother sort of complex, uh, way of sort of thinking about it. But, but you're right. And so you have this sort of like everything in the world, in the u s today, everything is sort of, you know, red and blue or black and white and this sort of, you know, it's hard to sort of bring people into the middle to find a, a, a good common and simple solution. Scot: [37:21] Cool. Um, last topic on Kinda like adoption rate. Um, where are we on charging infrastructure and is there, is there some metric we look at like chargers per population or just like the number of charges out there and any trends on that? Loren: [37:35] Great question. Yeah, I sorta, you know, to kind of back up for a little bit. Um, you know, the, the thing that, that people who don't have an Evie and, and as, as someone who's, who's on your second Evie, you absolutely understand this, right, is that, you know, when we think about refueling our gas or diesel powered car, we think about, we get in our car and we'd drive to a gas station or we stop off on the highway at a gas station going in, refuel, and then, you know, Kinda get back on the road or whatever it is with, with the electric cars, people have to sort of be re taught how to kind of think about charging. And that in a, for, in, in, in, in most parts of the world, in the u s you're looking at about 60% of people live in some form of a single family homes. Loren: [38:27] So they can install an Evie charging station in their house from anywhere from, you know, 500 and $1,500. Uh, which again is not necessarily a small number for a lot of people, but basically you drive in as you know, and you plug in your car at night just like you do your smart phone, you wake up in the morning and it's charged. Uh, maybe you drive to work and you, if you were lucky enough to have a, an employer that has charging stations that work and there are a lot of them out here in Silicon Valley. I know there's a lot down in places like Atlanta and probably where you are in Raleigh and stuff, but that's sort of another source, a target and Walmart have uh, hundreds and hundreds of charging stations that they've, they've built many of them, Tesla superchargers and other ones as well. Uh, Tesla has this what's called destination charging program where literally there are thousands of hotels and resorts around the world that have installed what's called the Tesla Wall charger. Loren: [39:27] So you can go stay at their hotel and just sort of plug in while you're sleeping at night there as well. The, the, the two biggest challenges, Scott, to kind of the charging infrastructure is solving the problem for renters, if you will. Or people that live in, you know, condos or, or high rise downtown in New York or something like that. Right? Where you can't just drive home and, and, and, and easily, easily plug in. So that's the first big a charging infrastructure challenge we have to solve. And that part of that's going to be solved by, uh, workplace. Part of it's going to be solved by the sort of, you know, urban charging centers and, and charging it at target and Walmart and places like that. Um, longer term sort of the apartment owners and managers and stuff, we're going to have to step up to the plate. Loren: [40:20] Most of them do not want to yet. They don't feel like it's their responsibility to be, to build out the sort of the refueling centers. But, so that's sort of the first part of kind of where we are is, is, you know, if you're a homeowner, it's, this is, this is a piece of cake. Uh, it's, it's those sort of non homeowner homeowners that we would kind of have to sort of focus on, on, on building out. The second piece of it is road trips, right? It's like most of us probably only do a couple of long road trips per year, but that is the biggest fear of most people in an, in, in buying an Evie, I'm going to Disneyland Disney world, going to see grandma two states away. It's a 500 mile trip, where am I going to starch? And, and Tesla understood that early on and so took the, you know, had the foresight to build out their Tesla supercharger, uh, network to sort of solve that problem. Loren: [41:19] And if you've ever been to sort of, you know, California and driven from like the bay area down to southern California, literally there's, you know, like where I live to down to la, there's like seven or eight different supercharger stations. You have plenty of options to sort of stop and charge that. So we have to sort of build that out. Electrify America, which is the, uh, the diesel gates, a subsidiary of Volkswagen, uh, that basically they've committed to $2 billion to building out, uh, the charging infrastructure in the u s both those sort of a road trip chargers as well as it apartments and in sort of a, an urban locations and stuff. And they're building out really pretty quickly there several other charging networks that are, uh, uh, ego and, and chargepoint et Cetera, that are sort of, uh, building out and, uh, you know, it, the thing that is sort of, we're, we're still not at that is that I believe is sort of the other, uh, automakers haven't really sort of stepped up to the plate, at least in the u s sort of help build that out. Loren: [42:28] And so I think that that's something that, that we need to need to see more of, uh, going forward. But to your question around the metrics, yeah. I, I tend to look at, uh, things like, uh, the number of, uh, uh, charging locations per number of electric vehicles. In other words, if you think about that, like fundamentally we need to scale the number of, of uh, electric charging stations in locations, uh, you know, at the same rate or ahead of the rate of, of people buying them. Um, and, uh, right now we're, you know, in most markets we have sort of a pretty, pretty good ratio. Um, there tends to be anywhere from about 15 to 30 electric vehicles per charging location and that seems to be okay. We probably need to get that down to closer to between 10 to 15. Uh, and then the second metric that I like to look at is the number of charging stations. Loren: [43:36] And this is the language we use in this industry is really bad, uh, because it's very different from gas stations, right? We say charging stations, which is actually means those sort of plugs the connections. Um, but a key metric to me in that area is, um, the number of those connections per location, right? And Teslas at almost 10, meaning if you go to their supercharger station, the average one has just under 10 connections. So 10 cars can plug in and charge at the same time. They have some that have as many as 40 connections. A lot of them now are, are 12, 12, 15, 20 et cetera. Um, but most of the other networks are only at two to four. So we've, we've got to build these sort of what I call sort of super centers, right? Where literally as, as the number of electric vehicles scale and they're driving down, you know, the east or mid West or the southern California, whatever it is. And you can have, you know, literally 50 cars stopping in at one location and, and all charging and being able to charge in 15, 20 minutes and get on their way. Scot: [44:46] Cool. Um, do you happen to know how many just total plugs there are in the United States? Loren: [44:52] There's about 65,000, what we call level two. Uh, that's like the level to sort of like what you plug in for your washing machine, that sort of, you know, two 20 capability and then, uh, what we call DC fast chargers, right? Those sort of superchargers that charge it really high rate. And you sort of combine those two together. We're at about 65,000 today in the u s um, but again, you know, Scott, if you think about that metric, that metric doesn't include the, you know, about 900,000 that are in people's homes. Yeah. Right. And so that's, you know, that's sort of the other, uh, other sort of, you know, key metric that almost everybody that buys an Evy obviously install some sort of a charger in their home and that that basically takes care for most people, uh, about 95% of their charging needs. Right. The only time you kind of, if you have a home that you can plug in the, that you have to go outside that is for those sort of either sort of mid or long road trips. Scot: [46:03] All right. So let's, uh, so that's a really good status of kind of where we are today and what's keeping people from adopting evs. Um, when you project forward, when are we going to cross that chasm and see evs become a much more material part of, of vehicles being sold? Loren: [46:19] Yep. Yep. Great question. So I use a, and thank you for using that sort of crossing the chasm. That's one of my favorite sort of terms and, and many, many of your listeners would probably feel are familiar with the book from many years ago, but the crossing the chasm refers to that, uh, technology adoption curve. I, I'm, I mentioned at the beginning of the podcast around, uh, when you basically go from early, early adopters and cross into that sort of early majority, which is 16%. So I like to be sort of very specific around, uh, the, the concept of when we will go mainstream. And so I use that 16% and I've, my prediction is that across the u s we will cross that 16% chasm, uh, in 2028. Um, but, um, uh, in California, uh, I believe it will be there in 2022. So just, uh, what three years away, cause we're, we'll probably be, as I mentioned at about 9%, uh, hopefully close to 10% by the end and of this year. Loren: [47:27] Uh, but what that also means, Scott, that when we hit that 16% across the US in 20, 28 or thereabout, it means that we might only be at, you know, 8% in Louisiana or something. So again, you know, and by that point, California might be, you know, 30, 35%. So we're still going to have sort of this, this, you know, in the u s and around the world is adoption is, is very, very market specific. And even cities specific, if you will, nursing, well, the, uh, California grid be able to handle that many evs. Yeah, great question. So that's, that's one of the things that a lot of people sort of talk about. One, you know, is the, is the during grid, right? The, with, with, uh, being used coal and natural gas, etc. And, and, and, and be, can grid actually handling. So, you know, a couple of things are happening in, in parallel, right? Loren: [48:24] And so the, in fact, the move to renewable energy solar and wind is actually happening at a faster rate than electric vehicle adoption in the u s so in other words, w w the grid is a getting cleaner faster than we're buying electric vehicles. And B, uh, the concept of sort of battery storage and micro grids is, is also sort of taken off. So as the cost of batteries declined for, for electric vehicles, they're also declining for that sort of what, what's called Keke storage demand. Right. And so you have this situation where, uh, you know, take, take a market where it's, you know, it's 100 degrees in the middle of the summer and everybody comes home at six, seven o'clock at night, fires up their air conditioner and stuff. And that's where we, we have, uh, you know, Brian House blackouts, et Cetera. Um, uh, and so the concept of peaker plants, so, uh, in particularly natural gas has been used, used for that in recent years. Loren: [49:31] So basically they fire those up to meet that specific, uh, demand rallies with sort of a battery storage. We can store all that excess, uh, solar and wind energy that's being created sort of during the day and throughout the day and those batteries and in literally a Nanosecond, those that battery storage can be tapped into sort of hit that sort of peak demand. So the reality is that at how we charge and when we charge is, is actually going to be monitored by abilities and you will like, I don't know Scott when you charge, but I charged my, my cars like at two o'clock in the morning, I get a lower rate. Nobody's, you know, nobody else's sort of using electricity at the time. And so it, it doesn't have that impact. Right? And so the utilities and software and AI will sort of manage when and how we charged the sort of make sure that not everybody's charging at the same time. And again, we'll have this sort of, uh, battery, uh, backups that are to manage that sort of peaks and stuff. So I'm not concerned at all about, um, the grid handling it. Technology will sort of solve that and sort of the growth of, of, of renewals. And battery storage. We'll, we'll take care of it. Scot: [50:52] Cool. Uh, I could go another hour, but I know we're kind of bumping up against time here and want to be, uh, you know, really appreciate you. You've given us a, an hour of your time. Um, any other last thoughts on, so I would love to talk about connected car and some of the ownership models and avs. Um, I kind of view, you know, Evie is kind of a, an underlying kind of platform for the, some of those things. It's just kind of kind of happen along with those. Um, or, or if you'd like to spend our last couple minutes talking about what's going on in other countries around evs. I'm, I'm open to either topic, whatever's interesting to you. Loren: [51:25] Yeah. I mean, I could, I could go another nother three hours, but, uh, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll put quick, quickly on, on both of them. So, you know, globally, uh, you know, China is, uh, has the Chinese government is basically recognized electric vehicles as a business opportunity. So you look at, uh, many, many countries, France, UK, uh, uh, Netherlands, Norway, et Cetera. And they're looking at electric vehicles from kind of the, we need to reduce, uh, carbon emissions and climate change and air pollution and et cetera. And so we need to transition. China's sees that as well, but they also see this as perhaps the single biggest business opportunity potentially in the history of China. In other words, they see that, uh, that they can sort of dominate, like they've done in consumer electronics. And so most of the battery packs, uh, battery factories in the future are going to probably be the majority of them in China. Loren: [52:33] They see it as a massive opportunity. And so they're doing a lot of things to sort of take the lead there. And so we could, we could spend an hour on tariffs and all this sort of the politics of this, but, but China, uh, you know, many of our cars that, that you and I will purchase in, you know, seven to 10 years are probably going to be made in China. So that's sort of that, that sort of first part of it. Um, uh, but then sort of back on kind of the, uh, you know, connected and autonomous vehicles. I mean, obviously, uh, autonomous vehicles are primarily going to be powered by electric cars just because if you have, you have these sort of abs sort of, you know, running around the Robo taxis and stuff without a driver and you look at the maintenance costs and everything like that, it's sort of a natural natural with electric vehicles. So those two, uh, things I've obviously go go hand in hand. And so, um, yeah, the, you know, again, the, the uh, the, the intersection there is, is, is sort of a, uh, ideal. And, um, while we, you know, today we're seeing sort of a mix of those in the, in the next couple of years, we're going to see most all of the ads being made on, uh, electric platforms. Scot: [53:51] Awesome. Uh, and then, uh, last question, uh, you know, if folks want to find you online, where are the best places Loren: [54:00] so they can go check out a, the website and blog Evie, adoption.com just like it sounds. And follow me on Twitter at EVAdoptiontweet. Ah, those are probably the two best ways and they can a sign up for my email newsletter or a on the website as well. Would love to have them opt in. Scot: [54:19] Awesome. Well we really appreciate you taking time to be on the podcast. I jotted down 50 things I learned and hopefully everyone else learned a ton as well and uh, we'll have to get you back on. I know you're always doing research and things like that, so I'd love to get you back on the next time you update your models and get an update from you. Loren: [54:36] Great. Thanks. I really appreciate it. This was a lot of fun.

LOS TIPOS DE TRACCION EN LOS AUTOS ALERONES Y PISTONES ANDRES FELIPE RODRIGUEZ CORONADO Desde el principio los autos eran tracción delantera por el echo de tener la dificultad de tener plataforma de RAILES Y TRAVESAÑOS por lo que era costumbre la tracción trasera, pero todo cambio en 1934 con la introducción del CITROËN TRACTION AVANT, que como su nombre lo dice era tracción delantera pero lo que hizo que este tipo de tracción se estandarizara fue la comodidad que tenia a la hora de su manejo, ya que por inercia al momento de acelerar se levanta la parte frontal lo que hace que se sienta mas suave el coche, pero los usos de la tracción trasera son mayormente en vehículos de carga o deportivos, el gran dilema surge con la tracción integral y 4*4 ya que no es lo mismo:traccion integral o AWD (ALL WHEEL DRIVE) es un sistema de tracción inteligente que en la mayoría de casos transfiere el 80% o 100% y en caso de pateamiento o exceso de inercia transfiere fuerza al eje trasero: el 4*4 o 4WD ( FOUR WHEEL DRIVE) es un sistema de tracción que transfiere potencia a cada eje un 50% cuando sus diferenciales son 2; cuando son 3 cada rueda tiene el 25% , los mayores exponentes 4*4 son JEEP WRANGLER, MERCEDES CLASE G, TOYOTA LAND CRUISER PRADO que son las camionetas mas capaces pero son muy caras, en un mercado mas económico esta la pequeña SUZUKI JIMNY que no es muy potente ni espaciosa pero si muy capaz, pero si usted requiere de un Platon o batea están las PICK UPS como : FORD F-150, RAM 1500, CHEVROLET CHEYENNE, que son excelentes camionetas o en las medianas FORD RANGER, CHEVROLET COLORADO, NISSAN FRONTIER, RENAULT ALASKAN que son las mas recomendables, en AWD están en SUV pequeñas FORD ECOSPORT, MAZDA CX3, HONDA HRV, SUZUKI VITARA RENAULT DUSTER, CHEVROLET TRACKER :SUV medianas : FORD ESCAPE, CHEVROLET EQUINOX, TOYOTA RAV 4, SUBARU FORESTER, JEEP COMPASS, VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN o SUV grandes como FORD EXPLORER, CHEVROLET TRAVERSE, HONDA PILOT,MAZDA CX9 O LAS FULL SIZE que todas son 4*4, en conclusión la tracción delantera muy eficiente, comoda y segura, pero si busca diversión vayase sin dudarlo a la tracción trasera, y si necesita o vive en un lugar que requiera AWD comprelo si no lo necesita evítese gastar mas dinero en un auto mas costoso y que sea mas pesado.

On November 3, 2005, Teresa Halbach, a 25-year old photographer from Calumet County, Wisconsin was reported missing by her mother. The last time anyone saw or heard from her was on Monday, October 31. Her last appointment on that date was booked by Steven Avery, who used the name “B. Janda” to photograph a van located at Avery Auto Salvage in Manitowoc County. On November 5, Teresa’s Toyota RAV-4 was found hidden on the Avery property by civilians who were searching the salvage yard with permission from Earl Avery. A .22 rifle was seized from Avery’s trailer on November 6 and a burned Motorola cell phone and burned Canon camera were found in a burn barrel near Avery’s trailer on November 7. On November 8, 2005, a Toyota key was found in the bedroom of Avery’s trailer. The license plate for Teresa’s vehicle was found later inside a car on the Avery property. In February, 2006, an Avery cousin reported that 16-year old Brendan Dassey had been acting out, crying a lot and losing weight. During questioning on March 1, 2006, Dassey admitted to his involvement in Teresa’s murder and provided information that led to the discovery of a .22 bullet with Teresa’s DNA in Avery’s garage and Avery’s epithelial DNA on the hood latch of Teresa’s vehicle. Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan on December 18, 2018, at 8:00 p.m. Central for an interview with Kenneth Kratz, the former Calumet County prosecutor who tried Avery and Dassey and the author of Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What “Making a Murderer” Gets Wrong. We’ll discuss the evidence linking Avery and Dassey to the murder of Teresa Halbach and the backlash from the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer. We’re a live show and calls are welcome. Our phone number is (347) 989-1171.

Paul Scott, Co-founder of Plug-In-America and Chairperson of the Electrical Vehicle Association of California, owns a Toyota Rav 4. He’s driven the car 63.000 miles in 6 years, charging it with electricity from his solar panels. There is no oil to change, no gas to buy, nothing to fix. Every day he gets in, turns it on and it operates perfectly. Every day he gets in, turns it on and it operates as well as the day he bought it. Since he gets electricity from the sun, Scott’s electric bill last yr. was $44.09 for both his house and his car.In 1990 California mandated that by 1998 car manufacturers had to make electric vehicles and make them available to the public so there were some electric cars manufactured. The lobbyists for the gasoline fueled car makers got rid of that law in 2003 and the manufacturers destroyed the cars so no one could say how good they were and how long they lasted. People protested and won against Ford and Toyota and saved about 1000 cars which are still running today and of which one is owned by Paul Scott. These NEVS (Neighborhood Electric Short Range Vehicles) cost from $10,000-18,000, go about 25 or 30 mph and have a range of 30 or 40 miles, but they’re not allowed on roads with speed limits over 35 or 40 miles per hour. There is a growing demand for these cars and that they should be allowed on the highway so car companies are working on developing them. The manufacturing process of a standard car and an electric car take equivalent amounts of energy. Electricity is the best energy. It's domestic and nonpolluting and even if it comes from coal it’s still much cleaner than a Prius. Electricity can be made from solar, wind or hydro, geothermal and tidal instead of coal and/or nukes. Due to government subsidies of solar one can get the cost of the solar panels greatly reduced. An electric car goes about 120 miles on a charge. That’s plenty for Scott who lives in Los Angeles. For a bigger range buy a bigger battery. If you want to go on a very long trip you’d want a plug-in hybrid and can combine with gas but it still uses almost no gas. Mass transit would be much improved using electricity for power as well. In California there is a measure to develop an electric bullet train to go from San Diego to Sacramento. It can use solar panels during the day and wind energy at night. This eliminates the big carbon footprint from flying. Scott describes several models for charging stations—one is like a parking meter where you plug in, do your business and come back to a car that is charged and your money has gone to your municipality, for example, rather than an oil company; another is for a parking lot to have solar panels on top that generate electricity that charges cars underneath while they are keeping cool. The money for the charge goes to whoever owns the parking lot.Contact Paul: Paul@pluginamerica.orgRecorded October 2008
