It's been one month since the launch of London's expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone - and we examine how much cash has been generated as part of Mayor Sadiq Khan's flagship pollution-fighting scheme. About £26 million has been generated from more than 57,000 daily vehicles - but what's the extra money being spent on?Transport for London says the Ulez expansion has cut the number of older, more polluting vehicles driven by nearly half, and reduced the overall amount of traffic.The £12.50-a-day levy for vehicles not meeting emissions requirements is enforced by a network of surveillance cameras ringing the capital - and Ulez refuseniks can expect a £180 fine.Plus, transport news extra with the latest on the government's railway ticket office closures u-turn, with the Standard's transport editor Ross Lydall.

In this podcast we discuss the tricky issue of engaging and winning over communities when planning and delivering new infrastructure projects and policies.Someone once said that a lie can be half way around the world before the truth has even got its boots on. Well in today's social media driven 24 hour news cycle I would say that the truth is likely to be even further behind nowadays.When it comes to engaging with the public to explain the rationale behind infrastructure investment, design and delivery professionals need to be very aware of this reality. As should politicians.Three recent example spring to mind. The first, of course, is the HS2 project. Hugely controversial from the start but once named High Speed 2, no amount of public relations effort is ever going to convince detractors that this project is about capacity. Second is the equally controversial plan to extend London's Ultra Low Emission Zone scheme. Designed to improve air quality impacting children's health – this policy is now spearheading the anti green taxation, anti-Extinction Rebellion, anti-Just Stop Oil lobby and looks set to scupper the UK's effort to achieve its net zero targets.Finally comes the debate over planning after the government vowed to give local communities choice and the power to veto projects they don't like – such as onshore wind turbines, about which we are hearing political noise this week that this may well be changed to accelerate the delivery of renewable power. But this debate also covers many other projects such as the vital new power distribution lines needed to power up the electric cars and heat pumps that government is simultaneously mandating. Is that really a choice local communities should make – or be able to make? Navigating this complex, highly emotional and usually very unlevel playing field is difficult. As is getting to the truth behind policies then explaining it to often polarise communities. And de-politicising decisions around infrastructure investment is simply impossible.But navigating the route is a vital part of our infrastructure future which has to be faced if we are to prosper sustainably as a nation. To discuss this conundrum, my guest today is Martin McCrink, managing partner of communications and public engagement specialist Copper Consultancy. Martin has spent a career wading into battles and seeking the vital consensus and compromise require to progress so ideally placed to discuss this knotty issue. Resources Copper Consulting websiteUK government neighbourhood planning guidanceTfL London Low Emission Zone guidance

This month we will be examining what FSB would like to see the government do to encourage greater adoption of tech and innovation among small businesses – and FSB's wishlist when it comes to government support for the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors in the lead up to Christmas. We also discuss the expansion of ULEZ – or the Ultra Low Emission Zone – and why that will have an impact on businesses everywhere, not just in London.Guests:  Yupina Ng, Media and Communications Lead on Innovation, FSB Anna Slater, UK Deputy Head of Media and Communications, FSBMatthew Jaffa, Senior Development Manager for London, FSB

Should we tax negative externalities like air pollution? Join us for a thought-provoking debate on one of London's most contentious policies, Sadiq Khan's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Andy Mayer, the Energy Analyst at the Institute of Economic Affairs, argues against the ULEZ scheme, emphasising its potential economic and social implications. On the other side of the debate, Daniel Freeman, Research Assistant at the Institute of Economic Affairs, makes the case for the ULEZ, highlighting its positive impact on environmental sustainability and public health. Moderating this debate is Reem Ibrahim, the Communications Officer and Linda Whetstone Scholar at the IEA.

In episode 59 of the road.cc Podcast, George, Jack, Ryan, and Simon gathered around the table to discuss the week's big news story – the much-debated extension of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, which after months of often toxic political and online discourse, finally came into force on Tuesday in outer London. While the extended ULEZ only affects a relatively small number of drivers, some bike companies have sensed an opportunity in recent weeks to convince the capital's residents to swap their non-compliant vehicles for a bike. But will ULEZ convince some motorists to give up their car for a bike? And will the policy, along with other measures seemingly designed to entice people out of their private motor vehicles (such as Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and cycling infrastructure), help make London safer for people on bikes?Or does the recent plethora of bike offers, as some on social media have suggested, only add further fuel to the (conspiracy-stoked) fire that ULEZ is simply another way to curtail the God-given right of British citizens to drive? Needless to say, it was a lively chat.Meanwhile, in part two, Jack caught up with Bryan McCullough, a physio and bike fitter who specialises in injury recovery for cyclists as part of his company ‘The Bike The Body'.In a really interesting discussion, Bryan chats with Jack about how cycling can be a perfect route to recovery following major surgery, thanks to its low impact nature and range of motion, and why the all-important bike fit can prove even more essential as you aim to regain your confidence and strength on the bike.

Wer künftig im Stadtgebiet von London fahren möchte, fährt besser mit einem Auto, das bestimmte Umweltstandards erfüllt. Ältere Diesel und Benziner müssen ab sofort etwa 15 Euro Gebühr pro Tag zahlen. Die Umweltzone oder „Ultra Low Emission Zone“ wurde aufs komplette Stadtgebiet ausgeweitet. Das dürfte laut Studien die Luftqualität verbessern. Von Daily Good News.

From the BBC World Service: London has today expanded its ultra-low emission zone (ULEZ), which is designed to clean up air quality in the British capital. The BBC’s Olie D’Albertanson explains the financial knock-on effect for those living and working there. We also hear from Frank Levin, a former U.S. under-secretary of commerce for international trade, on the efforts being made to restore relationships with China. Lastly, the BBC’s João da Silva reports on concerns over gas price rises, with workers at two large liquefied natural gas plants in Australia going on strike in a week.

Gina Raimondo is the latest of four US top officials to visit China in the last two months. We look into what might come out from her four-day visit to the Asian superpower. London has expanded its Ultra Low Emission Zone to make it the world's biggest anti pollution charging zone. We hear how much drivers will have to pay to drive within the city, and the impact it can have on workers and businesses. And India, the world's largest rice exporter, has issued new curbs on exports of this cereal. We listen to the reasons and the potential consequences.

Today's Mishal Husain discusses the arguments for and against the implementation of low emission zones for vehicles. London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, Ulez, has now expanded to cover all of Greater London, with owners of the most polluting cars now facing a £12.50 daily charge to drive in the capital. Whilst these changes have been carried out in at least seven areas in England, the expansion today of London makes it the biggest, affecting nearly 9m people. Mishal first speaks to Irene Bacon, a care worker, who tells us the impact these changes will have on her. She then speaks to Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, who explains why they have decided to expand Ulez to cover all of London. He labels it as a ‘difficult' but ‘vital' decision and summarises the implications it will have. He also responds to Irene's fears by outlining the different schemes available to help solve financial issues. Aaron Chown/PA Wire

There are questions over why she wasn't forced to attend her sentencing, and whether hospital bosses should've intervened earlier. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is getting ready for a "reset" as he trails in the polls and from next Tuesday London's Ultra Low Emission Zone is set for expansion a report suggests cabinet ministers sought advice on whether it could be blocked.

A YouGov poll of 1,000 Londoners suggests that the Mayor of London's popularity is languishing in the suburbs, with a negative rating of -24. The results come ahead of the controversial expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone across Greater London next week. The question is though, with the Mayoral elections coming up in 2024, does Sadiq Khan have enough time to win back the suburbs? The Evening Standard's Deputy Political Editor, Jitendra Joshi, shares his analysis from Westminster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's just weeks to go until London's expanded Ultra Low Emission Zone is brought into force.So, how ready is the capital for the biggest - and most expensive - set of rules impacting motorists since the Congestion Charge? It comes after hundreds of doctors urged politicians to toughen their stance on plans to tackle toxic air, saying they witness the “devastating health consequences” of pollution every day in the consulting room.Now, London's getting ready for the city-wide, £12,50 daily charge for owners whose vehicles do not meet exhaust emissions requirements from 29 August.Critics say it will unfairly penalise poorer motorists living in outer London, who cannot rely on suburban public transport.So, what further measures do cities like London need to take for to cut toxic air - and reduce deaths and illness linked to pollution?To discover more, The Leader podcast is joined by Oliver Lord, head of UK for the Clean Cities Campaign.

It's time for episode 56 of the road.cc Podcast. Last weekend, just in case you were doing your best to avoid the news, Rishi Sunak promised the UK's motorists that he was “on their side”, as the Prime Minister ordered a review of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in England. The review comes as the debate over green active travel policies continues to sharpen in the wake of the Conservative Party's win at the recent Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election (called following the departure of the famously active travel-friendly PM Boris Johnson), a narrow victory credited to the Tory opposition to Labour mayor Sadiq Khan's plans to extend London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone. Sunak's opposition to ULEZ and LTNs, the latest strategic manoeuvre in the pre-general election battleground, isn't the only move away from the green active travel policies held by his party in recent years, with the Prime Minister also recently hinting at plans to push back the date that sales of new petrol and diesel-powered cars will be banned, while funding for cycling infrastructure – including the new government body Active Travel England – has also taken a hit during his tenure in charge.In the second part of the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast, Jack, Simon, and Ryan sit round the table to discuss what Sunak's latest pro-driver pledges mean for the next general election, how they represent a shift away from past Conservative policy on cycling, active travel, and climate change (led by Johnson), and what impact they could have on the future landscape of cycling in the UK. Before we get to all that political chicanery, Ryan chats with Bristol couple Anna and Mark Cordle, who recently made the headlines after they set up a parking space for their family cargo bike outside their home – which, a year after it was installed, has been the subject of threats by the local council to remove it… because it was taking up a car parking space.In a really interesting discussion which touches on the differing perceptions and treatment of people who ride bikes to get around compared to those who use cars, Anna and Mark detail the reasons why they needed the space for their young family, how it was greeted by their neighbours, their current struggle against the council, and why planter-based bike parking spaces may provide an organic way forward for active travel in the UK's cities.

There is pressure on both the Conservatives and Labour to review their climate commitments following the Conservative win in the Uxbridge by-election - where the upcoming extension of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone was one of the big issues. But the government is currently sticking to its plan, supported by Labour, to ban sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, with the sales of hybrid cars to be stopped from 2035. So, can we meet the target in time? In a letter to the prime minister, a group of 43 Conservative MPs wrote the policy was 'unnecessary and unworkable'. They asked him to re-think the 2030 deadline, which comes five years before the EU ban, and warned it risked doing harm to the economy. Fans of EVs have also raised concerns over the ban - are there enough charging points, and enough energy for those charging points, and if the government says goodbye to fuel tax, then how does it make up for it? Today's Justin Webb speaks to Stuart Adam, senior economist at the IFS, Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, Ken McMeikan, CEO of Moto Services, and Richard Holden, the Transport Minister. They spoke to Justin about whether EVs are accessible to everybody, if the national grid can support the change to EVs, and the price disparity between charging a car at home and at public charging points.

The High Court has ruled that Sadiq Khan can expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone, after five Tory councils challenged the proposed policy. Will Keir Starmer be happy that a Labour mayor has won the day? Natasha Feroze speaks to Katy Balls and Kate Andrews.

Lucinda and Andy are joined by Jabeer Butt, chief executive of the Race Equality Foundation, to learn about how the climate crisis is disproportionately affecting already disadvantaged groups in the UK.The discussion opens with a clip from a previous episode with the Wildlife Trusts' chief executive Craig Bennett, describing the interlinked nature of the climate and nature crises and economic and social issues.Jabeer explains how some interventions to tackle environmental issues risk harming minority ethnic groups, citing the economic impact of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone on minicab drivers.He draws on NPC's Everyone's Environment programme, which examines how minority ethnic groups, younger and older populations and people living with a disability are impacted by the climate crisis.He suggests ways in which voluntary sector leaders can address the issue and calls for greater representation of minority groups in climate-related leadership and activism.Later in the episode, Lucinda and Andy discuss recent examples of collective climate action in the sector, including a call by 92 charities for the Prime Minister to honour the government's climate financing commitment and NCVO's Fuelling Positive Change campaign.Do you have stories of people whose lives have been transformed for the better thanks to your charity?

In this episode, Simon and Matt are joined by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. They discuss his new book, 'Breathe', and his passion and determination to change the air pollution in London - and tackle climate change in the wider world. Simon gets 'a bit 5 Live' and Matt asks if it's too late! (so, nice and light) Here comes the science bit: A seven-step guide to winning support for tough action on climate change - the first book from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan. For many years, Sadiq wasn't fully aware of the dangers posed by air pollution, nor its connection with climate change. Then, at the age of 43, he was unexpectedly diagnosed with adult-onset asthma - brought on by the polluted London air he had been breathing for decades. Scandalised, Sadiq underwent a political transformation that would see him become one of the most prominent global politicians fighting (and winning) elections on green issues. Since becoming Mayor of London in 2016, he has declared a climate emergency, introduced the world's first Ultra-Low Emission Zone, built hundreds of kilometres of new cycle lanes, led a drive for affordable insulation in council homes, and turned London into the first ever 'National Park City'. But with every year bringing more wildfires, extreme temperatures and flooding - and with around 4,000 people still dying prematurely from London's polluted air every year, with older, working class and ethnic minority Londoners most affected - there is so much more to do. Now, Sadiq draws on his experiences to identify the seven ways environmental action gets blown off course. And he reveals how to get it back on track, by: - Proving to sceptics that the climate crisis is a health crisis too; - Overcoming voters' cynicism by building coalitions across the political spectrum; - Shaking hands with everyone from your fiercest opponents to the most steadfast climate activists (even if you're a bit worried they might superglue you). Breathe is a call to action demonstrating how anyone - whether voter, activist or politician - can win the argument on climate. It will help create a world where we can all breathe again.

It's been revealed someone walked into an accident and emergency department in Kent every 23 seconds in November. The number of people waiting more than 12 hours to be admitted to a ward has also risen. In the three months from September, it was more than 4,000 patients - compared to just over 500 during the same period last year. It comes as the government's urging us not to take unnecessary risks today, as thousands of ambulance staff go out on strike. Paramedics and call handlers here in Kent are among those walking out in a dispute over pay and working conditions. The army's been drafted in to help out as NHS leaders warn they cannot guarantee the safety of patients. We spoke to Murray Robinson from the GMB union - who was out on the picket line at Medway Ambulance Station. Our other top stories, and investigations are underway following the death of a man in Sittingbourne. The victim was found with stab wounds at a property off College Road in the early hours of this morning. The future of one of Medway's oldest pubs is uncertain after the landlord announced he was calling time on New Year's Eve. John Brice has run The King George 5th in Brompton for the past 20 years - he's been telling us why he's decided to shut. The MP for Dartford's described an expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone to the border of Kent as 'the most unfair, undemocratic form of taxation this country has ever seen'. From next August, motorists using older vehicles will have to pay a charge to drive into all 33 of the capital's boroughs. It's part of efforts to cut air pollution. But during a debate in Westminster Hall, Gareth Johnson said it would be financially damaging for residents and the economy, and accused Mayor Sadiq Khan of just trying to make money. And, in football, Gillingham have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup after losing 2-0 to Premier League side Wolves in the fourth round. Gills manager Neil Harris spoke to us after the match.  

A former Maidstone schoolboy has died after being struck by the blade of a helicopter during a holiday in Greece. Jack Fenton, 22, is understood to have travelled back to Athens from Mykonos with friends when the tragedy happened. Also in today's podcast, people living in Dartford are calling for a re-think on plans to expand the Ultra-Low Emission Zone in London. If given the go ahead, some residents would have to pay £12.50 to travel into neighbouring boroughs. Hear what one local councillor has said - we've also got some of your comments left on Facebook. We're being urged to plan, ahead of a rail strike affecting services in Kent tomorrow - and only travel if it's essential. Members of the RMT union are walking out as part of an ongoing dispute around jobs, pay and working conditions. We've got an update from Network Rail. A leading tourism boss in Kent is calling for talks at the very highest level to sort out chronic travel problems in the county. Thousands of holidaymakers were stuck in hours of queues on Friday and over the weekend as they tried to leave via the Port of Dover or Eurotunnel.

And in sport, we look ahead to England's semi-final in the women's Euros tonight. Plus, Gillingham play their final pre-season friendly.

In this week's pod, we welcomed Ines Lopes to discuss The Spiritual Project Manager. Ines fell in love with Project Management at University. So much so that after her Engineering degree she completed an MSc in Strategic Project Management. She spent 9 years working at Transport for London leading complex high-profile highways and sustainability projects such as the Ultra Low Emission Zone to improve air quality in London and the programme to help Transport for London (TfL) become zero carbon by 2030. During that time she also went through an awakening of sorts, embarking on a spiritual holistic journey to be able to heal her body. As a result, she felt in the middle of two worlds. On one side a structured work-life is guided by analysis and organisational skills. On the other side, an intuitive personal life looks into the energy behind everything to continue with her personal growth. In 2020 she left TfL to focus on her spiritual journey. But turns out you can't take the project manager out of her! She felt the pull to join a couple of initiatives as a project manager and decided to do things her way. She combined the two worlds she had been living in. Focusing on deadlines and outputs but also helping the teams involved to let go of limiting beliefs and anything else that was not serving them. And this is how Spiritual Project Management was born. The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:· Spiritual Project Management is the concept that a project can deliver growth for a business as well as personal growth for its contributors The concept does not focus on religion, just personal growth within the project space It aims to create a “safe space” for people to be themselves within a project environment The covid pandemic has helped to dispel the myth of presenteeism “I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who wasn't sorry” Focus on what you have and how you will get what you want.

What London's new clean air plan means for your lungs and pocketAs Mayor Sadiq Khan announces plans to expand the capital's Ultra-Low Emission Zone by the end of the 2023, we speak to Dr Gary Fuller, an air pollution scientist at Imperial College London, who runs the pollution-mapping Londonair website.Dr Fuller looks at how the existing scheme in central London is working out, and discusses the increase in toxic air as post-Covid commuters return to work. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The City of London recently expanded its Ultra-Low Emission Zone on October 25, forcing those with non-compliant high-emissions vehicles to pay a daily fee of £12.50 to drive in the area. This is in addition to the daily Congestion Charge fee. IHS Markit experts explain what vehicles are subject to the charges and discuss whether schemes such as the above are forcing owners to purchase newer and greener vehicles. They also reveal the cost of the alternative: retrofitting your vehicle with technology that will make it ULEZ compliant. Wider implications, including the uptake of EVs and forcing high-emissions vehicles to the next town via second-hand sales, may also mean that low-emission zones could be adopted in cities in and outside of the UK. Tune into this week's episode of Autology to see how you're impacted. Speakers: • Graham Evans, Supply Chain Technology director at IHS Markit • Michael Southcott, powertrain component expert at IHS Markit We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode at our autology@ihsmarkit.com email, and you can find out much more across the autotechinsight.ihsmarkit.com website.

Toren & Ray kick off episode 91 by reflecting on life from 16-18 year's old and how going to parties was a 'no risk no reward game', often going to parties out of town and not having a solid plan on how to get home! As Sillah arrives, Toren raises Facebook announcing their name change, with the unveiling of 'Metaverse', which prompts the trio to reflect on what platforms they used during their teenage years. In other news, early last week on the 25th of October, the ULEZ (which is an acronym for Ultra Low Emission Zone) expanded in London which meant that many diesel car drivers and some with older plate vehicles that emit high levels had to begin to pay £12.50 a day to drive their cars, and now in instances even just to drive in their neighbourhoods. Is this ultimately a step in the right direction for reversing the effects of pollution and climate change, especially in metropolitan cities like London, or is it a major convenience? Finally, Manchester United 0 - 5 Liverpool, Toren isn't letting that slide! Do United urgently need a new manager or is this a structural issue?To join in on the conversation use the hashtag #ColdDrinksPodcast and follow us on Twitter at @ColdDrinksPodcast

This week London's Ultra Low Emission Zone was extended to 18 times its previous size. In an effort to cut levels of various nitrogen oxides and other gases dangerous to humans from urban air, cities encouraging lower emission vehicles is a trend soon stretching across the UK and other European countries. But some are sceptical as to their efficacy. Dr Gary Fuller of Imperial College London is author of The Invisible Killer, and has been studying the air in London and elsewhere since these zones began. As COP26 begins in Glasgow, a wealth of climate science is being published and publicised. Victoria Gill describes a couple of stories this week that point out quite how complex the science is, let alone the diplomacy and economics. Whilst the world's forests taken as a whole undoubtedly still capture more CO2 than they release, research this week shows that ten of Unesco's World Heritage Forests - making up for an area twice the size of Germany - have in the last ten years actually moved from being a carbon sink to a carbon source. There are several reasons, land use pressure being one of them, but also extreme climate events like wildfires (and even a hurricane in one instance) have tipped the balance, and show what how sharp the knife edge is for natural resilience. Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports that scientists have found an unexpected outflow of methane into the atmosphere from a site very close to the COP26 conference centre in Glasgow, highlighting just how great a challenge net zero will be. Alongside some of humans' most earth-changing achievements, the domestication of the horse stands as something outstanding in human history. Without it, war, traded and culture would be unrecognizable. But quite when and where the modern horse originated has been something of a mystery. In Nature this week, researchers have published an extensive study into ancient DNA that seems to pinpoint finally a moment and a place where this happened, 4,200 years ago. Geoff Marsh takes Marnie for a canter through the mystery. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton Producer: Alex Mansfield Made in association with The Open University

Ross Phillips from the not-for-profit group the Cross River Partnership discusses the new ULEZ expansion in the city, how it works, why it's needed, and how Londoners can live with it. The city's pollution charge zone officially became 18 times bigger on Monday, in a bid to improve air quality across the capital. The Ultra-Low-Emission-Zone, also called ‘ULEZ', now extends out to the North and South circular roads.It means a charge of £12.50 a day for travelling through the zone, which affects drivers whose cars or vans don't meet the minimum emissions standards.The mayor of London Sadiq Khan says it will cut the amount of carbon being emitted by more than 100 tonnes - equivalent to about 60,000 vehicles being taken off the roads.

We do know it will run the new battery line 24/7 with four shifts and some 100 workers. The automaker is now seeking 'Production Associates' and a 'Controls Engineering Manager.' These new employees will work on Tesla's pilot battery cell production line. On Tuesday, September 22, 2020, on the same day as Tesla's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we should have many more details thanks to Tesla's Battery Day."   https://insideevs.com/news/436867/tesla-hiring-pilot-battery-cell-production-line/   PANASONIC AIMS TO BOOST ENERGY DENSITY IN TESLA BATTERIES BY 20% "Panasonic Corp (6752.T) plans to boost the energy density of “2170” battery cells it supplies to Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) by 20% in five years and commercialize a cobalt-free version “in two to three years”, the head of its U.S. EV battery business said." according to a Reuters report: "This is the first time Panasonic, a leading cell provider for the world’s top electric vehicle (EV) maker Tesla, has outlined these targets, putting down a marker in a highly competitive sector to stay ahead of the game. Panasonic introduced the “2170” lithium-ion cells, with the nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) cathode chemistry, for Tesla’s Model 3 in 2017. Researchers say it already has the highest energy density at above 700 watt-hour per litre. A cobalt-free version on the other hand would cut reliance on a costly and controversial component, which makes batteries stable but poses ethical issues given controversial labour conditions in top producer the Democratic Republic of Congo. From September, the firm will start converting lines at its factory in Nevada that it operates with Tesla as it prepares to further boost the energy density of the cells. CATL is supplying Tesla with low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that contain no cobalt.  "   https://www.reuters.com/article/us-panasonic-tesla-exclusive/exclusive-panasonic-aims-to-boost-energy-density-in-tesla-batteries-by-20-executive-idUSKCN24V1GB   GM WILL HELP EVGO TRIPLE ITS FAST CHARGER NETWORK IN THE US "General Motors is working with electric vehicle charging network EVgo to build more than 2,700 new fast chargers in cities and suburbs across the US over the next five years. That is more than triple the 800 fast chargers that EVgo currently has on its network, which is in 34 states and serves “more than 200,000 customers.”" says The Verge: "The buildout will help EVgo keep pace with other growing fast-charging networks. Tesla boasts 2,000 Supercharger stations (and 18,000 stalls) worldwide, and Volkswagen’s new Electrify America network is already up to 452 stations in the US. The new stations will be “located in highly visible areas and most will be able to charge at least four vehicles simultaneously,” according to a press release, and will be able to charge at rates between 100kW to 350kW. They won’t be exclusive to GM vehicles, and the first chargers that are part of this new buildout will be available in early 2021. The two companies are targeting around 40 different metropolitan markets."   https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/31/21349614/general-motors-evgo-fast-charging-network-investment   VOLTA TRUCKS & DPD BRING FULL-ELECTRIC LARGE COMMERCIAL VEHICLE PARCEL DELIVERIES TO LONDON’S ULTRA LOW EMISSION ZONE Volta Trucks, the Scandinavian start-up full-electric vehicle manufacturer, will soon start a pilot test of its forthcoming Volta Zero with DPD, the UK’s leading parcel delivery service. The Volta Zero will be tested by DPD within London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone in Q1-2021, supporting their micro-depot strategy in Westminster.   Rob Fowler, Chief Executive Officer of Volta Trucks, added: As the world’s first purpose- built full-electric large commercial vehicle, the Volta Zero was specifically designed to deliver parcels and freight in inner city locations where today’s air quality and noise pollution challenges are at their worst. The Volta Zero’s full-electric, zero-emission operation is perfectly suited to DPD’s distribution requirements within London’s strict Ultra Low Emission Zone, delivering parcels to Central London’s customers in a clean and efficient way.”   EV WEST WANTS TO BREAK AN ELECTRIC SPEED RECORD "The electric powertrain nerds at EV West are doing everything they can to propel Southern California hot rod culture into the future. Electric drivetrain swaps in old cars are their bread and butter, but in the process they’ve realized just how fast these things can be. With a custom tube-chassis, a slippery aerodynamic body, a hopped-up Tesla motor, and a rack of high-tech batteries, these mad scientists are aiming for an electric land speed record."  reports Jalopnik: "We do know that the Electraliner will have 294 individual Panasonic battery cells for a total of 357 volts, which sounds like a lot. We know that the team plans to haul a small solar array out to the salt for charging purposes, keeping their three swappable racks of batteries topped up between runs. We know that the plan is to only use the top 50 percent of each battery pack, as power drops off precipitously after that. And we know that the whole kit and kaboodle will be cooled with 5 gallons of ice water poured in right before each run."   https://jalopnik.com/ev-west-wants-to-break-the-electric-speed-record-at-bon-1844577249   You can listen to all 854 previous episodes of this this for free, where you get your podcasts from, plus 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.   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast.   And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing.   Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I’ll catch you tomorrow and remember…there’s no such thing as a self-charging hybrid.     PHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE (PREMIUM PARTNER) BRAD CROSBY (PREMIUM PARTNER) AVID TECHNOLOGY (PREMIUM PARTNER) PORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATI (PREMIUM PARTNER) AUDI CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) VOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST (PREMIUM PARTNER) NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM  (PREMIUM PARTNER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (PREMIUM PARTNER)   DAVID AND LISA ALLEN (PARTNER) OEM AUDIO OF NEW ZEALAND AND EVPOWER.CO.NZ (PARTNER) GARETH HAMER eMOBILITY NORWAY HTTPS://WWW.EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/  (PARTNER) BOB BOOTHBY – MILLBROOK COTTAGES AND ELOPEMENT WEDDING VENUE (PARTNER)   ALAN ROBSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALAN SHEDD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEX BANAHENE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ALEXANDER FRANK @ https://www.youtube.com/c/alexsuniverse42 ANDERS HOVE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ANDREA JEFFERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASEER KHALID (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ASHLEY HILL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BÅRD FJUKSTAD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRENT KINGSFORD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRIAN THOMPSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) BRUCE BOHANNAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHARLES HALL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CHRIS HOPKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) COLIN HENNESSY AND CAMBSEV (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG COLES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) CRAIG ROGERS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAMIEN DAVIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DARREN FEATCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVE DEWSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID FINCH (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID MOORE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PARTINGTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DAVID PRESCOTT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNEL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) DON MCALLISTER / SCREENCASTSONLINE.COM (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ERU KYEYUNE-NYOMBI (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) FREDRIK ROVIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GENE RUBIN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GILBERTO ROSADO (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) GEOFF LOWE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) HEDLEY WRIGHT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN GRIFFITHS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN SEAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) IAN (WATTIE) WATKINS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JACK OAKLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JAMES STORR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JIM MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODICERS) JOHN C SOLAR (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON AKA BEARDY MCBEARDFACE FROM KENT EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JON MANCHAK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) JUAN GONZALEZ (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEN MORRIS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KEVIN MEYERSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) KYLE MAHAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LARS DAHLAGER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LAURENCE D ALLEN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LEE BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) LUKE CULLEY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARCEL WARD (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARK BOSSERT (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MARTY YOUNG  (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MATT PISCIONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIA OPPELSTRUP (PARTNER) MICHAEL PASTRONE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) MIKE WINTER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NATHAN GORE-BROWN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NEIL E ROBERTS FROM SUSSEX EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) NIGEL MILES (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) OHAD ASTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PAUL RIDINGS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)               PAUL STEPHENSON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GLASS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETE GORTON (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PETER & DEE ROBERTS FROM OXON EVS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER)  PHIL MOUCHET (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) PHILIP TRAUTMAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJ BADWAL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RAJEEV NARAYAN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENE KEEMIK (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RENÉ SCHNEIDER (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RICHARD LUPINSKY (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB HERMANS (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) ROB FROM THE RSTHINKS EV CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) RUPERT MITCHELL (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) SEIKI PAYNE (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEPHEN PENN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) STEVE JOHN (EXECUTIVE PRODUCER) THOMAS J.

The big question that Aiways hopes to answer: can China compete with Europe, in Europe, and succeed?" is the question asked by CleanTechnica: "About the size of an Audi Q5, the Aiways U5 seats 5 and offers a 190 HP electric motor. Aiways plans to deliver 2000 units to customers in its first year, ostensibly to focus on delivering both build quality and customer service that are on par with what its European customer expect. Assuming things go well, Aiways can “flip a switch” and deliver 50,000 (fifty-thousand) units to European customers in calendar year 2021. Assuming they can sell 50,000 of the things, that is, but with a price tag expected to be somewhat less than 30,000 Euro, maybe that’s not such a huge ask?"   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/01/25/aiways-u5-set-to-become-first-chinese-ev-in-europe/   TESLA MODEL S, MODEL X IN FOR VARIETY OF UPDATES, LEAK SUGGESTS "Tesla might be ready to pull the trigger on updates for its two flagship models, the Model S sedan and Model X SUV. According to a well-known Tesla "hacker," who's often dug into Tesla software in the vehicle to find clues about the future, everything from battery updates to a new suspension version is in the cards." says CNET: "The hacker, who goes by "Green" on Twitter posted last Friday to share the things he found buried in Tesla's software, which funny enough, revolves around hardware. Among the mentions, there may be an inductive phone charger, updated lumbar for the seats, a new charging port and some sort of new suspension.The biggest piece of information is the mention of two new Model S and Model X battery types in a handful of configurations. However, mention of the phone charger may be a clue about a long-rumored interior refresh for the Model S and Model X."   https://www.cnet.com/news/tesla-model-3-nhtsa-investigation-unintended-acceleration/   EVOKE’S MODERATELY PRICED ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES EXPAND TO EU AND AUSTRALIA "Evoke Motorcycles, a Beijing-based electric motorcycle manufacturer, has found success in its domestic market with highway-capable electric motorcycles. Now the company is ready to test the international market with operations in Europe and Australia." reports MIcah TOll for Electrek: "According to a statement sent to Electrek by Evoke, the company already has dealers operating in Austria and Hungary. Now the company has brought on Chreter Australia as its Evoke distributor in the land down under. Chreter will offer Evoke’s two current models, the Evoke Urban and Evoke Urban S. It will also provide after-service in Australia for the two electric motorcycles. Both models received updates for the 2020 model year to improve their performance. Evoke’s 2020 Urban electric motorcycles are rated with a maximum speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). The bikes are powered by a 19 kW (25 hp) rear hub motor. The 2020 Urban series has a 8.4kWh battery pack offering a useable capacity of 7.6kWh.They’re designed to be affordable commuter electric motorcycles with prices in the neighborhood of US$7,900."   https://ww.electrek.co/2020/01/23/evoke-electric-motorcycles-expand-to-eu-australia/#aprd   ID.3 TO BECOME AVAILABLE FOR ORDER IN APRIL "German electric car rental company Nextmove has revealed further details of the market launch of the VW ID.3 with reference to a document from France. Orders for the First Edition should apparently be possible from April. The series version will also be available from May, initially with 58 kWh and 45 kWh batteries." according to Chris Randall in electrive: "While it is no secret that the First Edition will be available to 40,000 pre-orderers throughout Europe from summer (if they make a binding order from their reservation), now it seems that deliveries of the series versions with 58 kWh and 45 kWh batteries will start in September and October respectively. The launch was announced for 2020 and Volkswagen is taking this seriously, although we might assume that since no mention has been made of the most powerful version with a 77 kWh battery, its market launch is expected to take place after 2020. The installation of a heat pump helps to save energy in winter conditions and thus indirectly gains range. The Volkswagen specification of 60 kilometres range gain refers to an outside temperature of +5 to -10 degrees Celsius. It is not clear how much customers have to pay for the heat pump in the freely configurable series models. Of the three equipment lines the heat pump is only on board with the maximum equipment for the First Edition presented by VW. In the meantime, the First Edition is no longer available to reserve in Germany."   https://www.electrive.com/2020/01/23/id-3-to-become-available-for-order-in-april/   LONDON BOOSTS SCRAPPAGE SCHEME TO £9,500 TOWARDS ELECTRIC VANS "London has doubled the scrappage scheme grant available to those switching their old van or minibus to a newer Ultra Low Emission Zone compliant model. The changes mean there is now £7,000 available for eligible models - jumping to £9,500 for those switching to an electric model." says Next Green Car: "Criteria have been changed to make it easier to access the funding too. The old system saw £3,500 available to either buy a Euro 6 vehicle or access third party offers such as vehicle hire or sharing services. Those switching to EVs got up to £6,000, and any access to scrappage scheme funding required drivers to have made at least 52 trips into the Congestion Charge Zone in the six months prior to the scheme’s introduction. The requirement is now only 26 trips completed. Equally, firms with fewer than 10 employees could access funding, whereas the limit is now up to 50 employees. Grants are on top of the existing Plug-in Van Grants, which apply to all eligible electric vans and takes up to 20% off the value of the vehicle - up to a maximum of £8,000."   https://www.nextgreencar.com/news/8838/london-boosts-scrappage-scheme-to-9500-towards-electric-vans/   TESLA CYBERTRUCK SPIED FILMING SEGMENT FOR JAY LENO’S GARAGE WITH ELON MUSK "Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the futuristic Cybertruck were caught filming near SpaceX headquarters late Friday afternoon for an upcoming segment of Jay Leno’s Garage. Once again taking the spotlight at the Tesla Design Center in Hawthorne, CA, the site where the all-electric utility truck made its shocking world debut, camera and production crew were setting up to film a scene near the famed Tesla Supercharger monolith." says Teslarati: "Elon Musk can be seen inspecting the rear of the Cybertruck and its motorized rear tonneau, as film crew busily prepared equipment for the camera truck that would follow the stainless steel pickup past SpaceX.   Cameras rolled as the Tesla Cybertruck made its way onto Crenshaw Blvd. in Hawthorne, CA, with the iconic Falcon 9 booster and SpaceX headquarters framed perfectly in the background. A black truck with a camera rig flanked the electric pickup truck.m While Teslarati did not spot the Model Y  in Friday’s filming of the Cybertruck, rumors surfaced last week that Tesla’s much-awaited electric crossover Model Y will also be featured on Jay Leno’s long-running car show. This information was reportedly shared to a certain Tesla Model 3 owner Michael Hughes by a Tesla employee who gave him an early tour of the Model Y interior."   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-cybertruck-spy-shot-jay-lenos-garage-design-center/   MINI ELECTRIC IN ALPS: FROM MUNICH TO SÖLDEN WITHOUT RECHARGE "The new all-electric MINI Cooper SE is the ideal companion for short city getaways. On a single battery recharge, you can leave Munich to visit the beautiful Alpine winter resort of Sölden, which is precisely 200 kilometers away, in Austria." according to BMW Blog: "Depending on road and weather conditions, the new MINI Cooper SE will boast a pure electric somewhere between 235 kilometers and 270 kilometers, so the 200-kilometer trip from the Bavarian capital city up to Austrian ski resort of Sölden shouldn’t be a problem to cover without recharging the battery. When the MINI Cooper SE finally reached its destination, it still had an adequate level of energy content in the high-voltage Li-Ion battery. Furthermore, the climate control system of the MINI Electric is designed to use the residual heat dissipated by the electric motor, the drive control systems and the battery as to heat up the interior during winter. The combined electricity consumption is calculated between 14.8 and 16.8 kWh per 100 kilometers."   https://www.bmwblog.com/2020/01/23/with-the-mini-electric-in-alps-from-munich-to-solden-without-recharge/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   DRK The vandalism, bullying and outright hostility towards objects from strangers is not so much about the cars ( it only appears so on the surface) but is in reality a disturbing look at the mental health or lack thereof of our population at large. Otherwise "normal" people suddenly keying cars ( which still happens to cars no matter which brand with or without alarms etc)  and other signs of frustration and anger is a look at the tenuous hold average people have in our society for the stresses of life, health, economic and mental pressures of modern day living. You can see this in any online forum or comment section and our "leaders" are increasingly looking less balanced as well. (I live in the USA so lots to look at) and it is not party based. People are unfortunately not doing as well as the thin veneer of "modern civilization" would lead one to believe.   FROM ROOSTER #EV #Tesla envy same reason as for all other forms of envy, lack of brain cells !   DONALD RS The reason I think that people have a problem with EVs or that I think only the rich can afford the EVs this is a way they can put a thumb or finger up at a e v a rich person and are things I think there are again EVsis because of the fact that they feel threatened are there fossil burning car is being lost   FUTURE SYSTEM Sadly, I think ALL nice cars are potentially subject to vandalism, and break in’s etc. That’s nothing new. A friend of mine had a very nice European sports car in the ‘70’s, and it was vandalised twice, (keys down the side!), and broken in to once. He got to the stage where he wouldn’t even park it in most public places. It’s nothing to do with being an EV or a Tesla, but only Tesla’s are smart enough to record the perpetrators on video.   STEPHEN TROYER People have a problem with EVs because change is scary, making a change of lifestyle is inconvenient, and many times they feel personally attacked when someone says an EV is better in every way (performance, comfort, safety, cost of ownership).   Beyond that, I think there is a type of person who will target any nice-looking car, and it's just that more of them get caught when they vandalize a brand new EV because of all the cameras and tech.     Romain Hedouin  • 4 days ago I don't know if people vandalize Teslas because they're EV I think people vandalize any car, it's just that Teslas are pretty much the only ones able to record in ~360 degree view Also they're seen as luxurious so jealous haters obviously vandalize them more... sad world   I believe people still think their tax money is paying the tax credit for rich people's EVs. They don't know the tax credit is the owner's own tax money coming back to them. If they only owe $5000 on their taxes that year they only get $5000, not the full $7500. So they lash out and vandalize EVs and charging stations to feel better about paying for other people's cars. Which we know is incorrect so they have no reason. Josh Pritt Space Coast EV Drivers Florida   AJ TARQUINO I believe that the people that vandalize (Key) EV’s and park their trucks in charging spots is strictly out of their jealousy of the fact we pay less in operating cost and maintenance, which, if they could afford one, they would buy one.  Why else you do what they do ??  I, for one am glad that someday the air we breathe will be cleaner and we will be less dependent on foreign gasoline.  Gasoline fluctuates every week where I live up and down @ $.60, which I feel is crazy.  I play their game and buy when it’s down and wait as long as possible till it comes back down.  I also shop around for the best price.  I also own a Nissan Leaf that helps, too !!   BRIAN C While there are possibly many reasons, I believe most of them are absolute die-hard ICE vehicle drivers. They would rather DIE than to buy, own or drive an EV. Most are surely climate deniers. They feel threatened. Some can see the growing market for EVs and they feel a threat that their freedom to choose to drive an ICE vehicle is going to be taken away from them.   BILL POLLOCK CHARGECAR.CA Do people hate EVs?  I'm not fully convinced of that.  Are they afraid of change...of new things...of things they don't completely understand...of things that will change the way they move through life? I'll bet there is a big Venn diagram overlap between the people who ICE chargers, or resent Electrics, and Brexit supporters and MAGA heads.  I know it is a big assumption on my part, but I am willing to stand by it. I think we all agree that they are mostly small c conservatives (small p conservatives?).  I can't imaging a liberal going out of their way to be overtly resentful of any choice of car.        NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   If I could one something extra in 2020 with EV News Daily, what would it be?

Prince Charles has made a call in the Evening Standard for big businesses to put “trillions” of pounds into environmental projects, and we think he's right. The Standard's Jonathan Prynn breaks down what this really means. The Ultra-Low Emission Zone – or ULEZ – charge is six months old. And one driver owes 13 thousand pounds – we've got more on that and five other things we've learned about the scheme.We're excited for tomorrow's match between England and New Zealand, we speak to our rugby correspondent Will Macpherson in Tokyo on whether or not we are likely to win, and we sit down with our feature writer Katie Strick to find out what's making people so excited.

Show #503   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 17th June 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   UK MODEL 3 DELIVERIES New Patreon PRODUCER IAN TURNER: "Great work - have been listening for the last 6-8months. I'm one of the lucky (dozen?) to pick up their model 3 Performance Plus from West Drayton this coming Thursday.   Since there will probably be 4,000-5,000 picking up their model3's over the next few months I decided to create a UK RHD Model 3 "Delivery Checklist" . This is based on the US equivalent so I'm not taking all of the glory here!"   NEW RENAULT ZOE   Highights of the new Zoe and your comments.   TESLA DISCONTINUES LONG RANGE REAR-WHEEL DRIVE MODEL 3 "One of the latest change in the constantly changing Tesla offer is reportedly the discontinuation of the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version of the Model 3." says InsideEVs: "The Long-Range RWD was the first version of the Model 3, introduced in mid-2017. In recent months, Tesla removed the LR RWD and Standard Range RWD from the online design studio, offering the two only through direct call or a visit in the store. Now, it seems that LR RWD Model 3 will not be available anymore - at least temporarily - probably to simplify the production process."   https://insideevs.com/news/355122/tesla-discontinued-long-range-rwd-model-3/   VOLKSWAGEN WILL GUARANTEE THE CAPACITY OF THE ID. BATTERIES FOR EIGHT YEARS OR 160,000 KM Volkswagen will launch production of the ID.3 before the year is out. The compact-class model is the first member of the ID. family – a new generation of progressive electric vehicles whose lithium-ion batteries will allow for a range of up to 550 kilometres (342 miles), making the models perfect for comfortable long journeys.   The future owners of ID. models won’t need to worry about the durability of their batteries either, as Volkswagen will guarantee that the batteries will retain at least 70 per cent of their usable capacity even after eight years or 160,000 kilometres (100,000 miles).   VOLKSWAGEN CONFIRMS SALES OF E-GOLF IN CANADA IN 2020 "Relatively low availability of  heVolkswagen e-Golf in Canada prompted some doubt over the future of the only all-electric VW in 2020." according to Mark Kane at InsideEVs: "According to the latest news, Volkswagen confirmed that the e-Golf will be available in 2020, which is reasonable, especially since the Volkswagen ID.3 is not coming to North America, and the CROZZ version will follow probably from 2021 on."   https://insideevs.com/news/354954/volkswagen-confirmed-sales-e-golf-canada-2020/   NISSAN E-NV200 SALES SOAR UK sales of the fully electric Nissan e-NV200 have increased by 200% in 2019 as small business leaders look to increase fleet efficiency and reduce costs, amid changing emissions legislation and the introduction of London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone.   The surging demand echoes the results of a recent Nissan survey, showing that 24% of UK small businesses expect van fleets to be fully electric within a decade.   PSA GROUP TO PRODUCE BATTERY PACKS IN SLOVAKIA "PSA Group (Peugeot, Citroën, DS, Opel/Vauxhall) is the latest carmaker that decided to produce battery modules/packs for hybrid/plug-in electric vehicles in Eastern Europe." reports InsideEVs: "According to Reuters, PSA selected Slovakia's plant in Trnava, which will later be supplemented by a plant in Vigo, Spain. Currently, there is no details about volume and models."   https://insideevs.com/news/354972/psa-group-to-produce-battery-packs-in-slovakia/   LONDON LOOKS TO INSTALL AS MANY AS 50,000+ EV CHARGE POINTS BY 2025 "London Mayor Sadiq Khan has unveiled an updated electric vehicle infrastructure delivery plan which aims to put as many as 50,000 EV charge points in the city by 2025, as London looks to become a zero emission transport city by 2030." writes Phil at Electrek: The plan looks to eliminate barriers to further accelerate the already rising rate of EV adoption in the city — estimates show EVs could increase from around 20,000 in the city today to more than 330,000 by 2025  — and it looks to address that by installing thousands and thousands of charge points, as Khan calls for “an electric vehicle revolution.” Transport for London (TfL) has already committed to installing 300 rapid charge points by the end of 2020, and it’s expected that over 3,500 “slow to fast” AC charge points will also be installed by the end of 2020. But many more will be needed if the city is to achieve its infrastructure goals, with anywhere from 36,000 to 51,600 total charge points seen as needed by 2025"   https://electrek.co/2019/06/17/london-ev-charge-points-2025/   DELHI LAUNCHES APP TO BOOK SLOT AT EV CHARGING STATIONS "The first electric vehicle charging station in a public area has been installed in India’s capital city Delhi. Along with the charging station, a mobile phone application has also been launched to help electric vehicle users." reports Clean Technica: "To assist the vehicles users with charging, a mobile application has also been launched that allows users to book a slot to charge their vehicles using the application."   COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week.

When Extinction Rebellion took over Oxford Circus and Waterloo Bridge, they were doing so in the clean air of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. And for that, they have Anna Heslop and the work of ClientEarth to thank. You see, while some take direct action in pursuit of preserving our small blue dot, others (like Anna) use the law – working with lawmakers, governments and manufacturers to help protect and improve the environment. Anna clearly loves her job, and she goes about it with a dedication and passion we should all be thankful for. You may have already seen her on TV, or heard her on the Today Programme. Now's your chance to get to know her a little better. Listen in as she talks to our Kevin about everything from Brexit, to a surprising lack of thank you letters from bison.

All-electric delivery company Gnewt delivered its 500,000th parcel for ASOS the week the Ultra Low Emission Zone hit London (ULEZ). Gnewt – which was acquired by Menzies Distribution in 2017 – is emissions-free therefore hasn't suffered the same frustrations as some of its competitors under new ULEZ regulations. Kirsty Adams interviews founder of Gnewt Sam Clarke and driver Jose on the last metre, electric-charging infrastructure, its partnership with ASOS and future plans for on-foot porters. Join Kirsty for this ‘Out of office' episode which takes listeners to London's rainy congested streets. The next docu-podcast will be released on 7 May and is entitled ‘Humans plus robots'. Until then.
