BFTB:S07E22:"City Kids v Class of 92 Project!"(v Salford FAC3) by

On this episode of #TheDojo, we briefly elucidate on the late drop of the episode, that swiftly moves to a conversation on our relationship with alcohol and the effects it has on our bodies the older we get. We answer the question of what happens at Brocations. We ponder on the V Class video and dissect the Jozi night life, alternative lifestyles and the many faces of sex work in the city. We round off the Pod by chewing over the notion that black SA women are "stuck" with black men because of the idea that no other race wants them, which leads us into a conversation on the dynamics that hinder interracial dating in SA.

Show #790   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 26th May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   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.   MERCEDES-BENZ LAUNCHES ITS ELECTRIC EQV MINIVAN FOR ~$64,000 "Mercedes-Benz is launching its electric EQV minivan in Europe for €71,388.10 (incl. 19% VAT), which is the equivalent of a sticker price of about ~$64,000 USD." says Electrek: "The electric EQV MPV was first unveiled last year when we learned that it is equipped with a 100 kWh battery pack, but the company is limiting the usable capacity to 90 kWh. They believe it’s going to result in 405 km (250 miles) of range on a single charge. To charge the battery pack, the EQV is equipped with an 11 kW on-board charger and it can DC fast-charge at up to 110 kW, which Mercedes claims can charge the battery pack from 10 to 80% in less than 45 min. The electric van will be available as part of its V-Class lineup in Europe, but no availability has been confirmed for the North American market."   https://electrek.co/2020/05/26/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-minivan-price/   CarBuzz said: "Like the EQC SUV, the EQV features a similar sealed-off grille design. Riding on 18-inch wheels, it’s certainly one of the smarter vans around. Although still unconfirmed for the local market, the EQV will be offered elsewhere with two wheelbase lengths, the longer one stretching to 135 inches. It can seat up to eight passengers and accommodate 36.4 cubic feet of their luggage. Pretty nifty for a zero-emissions vehicle."   https://carbuzz.com/cars/mercedes-benz/eqv   And Green Car Reports says: "A new feature offers a particularly efficient and comfortable driving style: recuperation level DAUTO. According to the maxim “drive ahead and save energy” information from the security assistants, the navigation system and the camera get connected and adjust the strength of the recuperation situation—specifically and in real time. In addition, four driving programs help the customer to choose individually between the maximum of comfort and the maximum of range while driving."   https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/05/20200526-eqv.html   KIA IS CONSIDERING AN ULTRA-SMALL ELECTRIC CAR "Kia is examining plans to build a purely electric miniature car in the style of the Citroën Ami. Although the South Korean company has not revealed a timetable for these plans, it seems that Kia is already considering a new distribution model for the electric microcar." says Carrie from Electrive: "In a candid interview with AutoExpress Emilio Herrera, COO of Kia in Europe confirmed the company’s considerations. The mini electric car for urban areas – if it is realized – will be offered for rent globally via a subscription model. “The idea is to have a dedicated platform from Kia that we could possibly share with Hyundai,” Herrera said. The Kia manager did not name a timetable for a possible market launch of the small electric car. AutoExpress is expecting a corresponding production model in 2022. Citroën introduced the Ami at the end of February. The small two-seater in a strongly stylised design is to be available at prices starting at 6,000 euros or a monthly leasing rate of 19.99 euros (four years, 10,000 kilometres per year) in France. Pricing models for other European markets have not yet been revealed. Since Herrera spoke of a “dedicated platform” for the very small electric car, it does not seem likely to be the skateboard platform from Canoo. "   https://www.electrive.com/2020/05/26/kia-is-considering-an-ultra-small-electric-car/   RUMOR: IN APRIL TESLA RECEIVED ABOUT 15,000 ORDERS FOR MIC MODEL 3 LR "According to the Chinese media (via Moneyball), Tesla has received in April close to 15,000 orders for the new Long Range Made-in-China (MIC) Model 3. It's an unofficial number." reports InsideEVs: "t's great news that the demand for the upcoming LR (rear-wheel drive) is high because Tesla intends to produce in China some 4,000 Model 3 per week as early as in June. The last month was weaker than expected, as Model 3 registrations amounted to 4,312, up to 3-4 times less than anticipated production output (at 3,000 per week). It's explained that consumers were delaying orders of the Standard Range Model 3 to get a more attractive price (after changes in subsidies). Only time will tell whether sales in China will really stabilize at 4,000 per week (or 12,000 per month) for all versions (SR and LR)."   https://insideevs.com/news/425337/tesla-15000-orders-model-3-lr/   AUDI E-TRON IS THE NEW KING OF NORWAY "Norway remains one of the most fascinating auto markets in the world. With a 70% plug-in vehicle market share in the first 4 months of 2020, there is nothing that comes close to it. That isn’t an overnight figure either — the country has been far ahead of any other market in terms of plug-in vehicle market share for several years."That said, the market leader is now a vehicle that would typically be outside the price range of a working class family in other countries, but Norway is a rich country (very rich country) with adventurous terrain, so it makes a bit of sense. The Audi e-tron isn’t just first — it’s far ahead in the #1 spot so far this year." says CleanTechnica: "A German model that was in the #1 spot for many, many months, the Volkswagen e-Golf, is solidly in second at 6% market share. After that, you’ve got the Nissan LEAF, Hyundai Kona EV, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, Tesla Model 3, Renault Zoe, BMW i3, and then a long tail of remaining PEVs. You also have a handful of plug-less vehicles scattered into the overall sales rankings (see charts below)."   https://cleantechnica.com/2020/05/25/audi-e-tron-is-the-new-king-of-norway/   MACRON DEMANDS CARMAKERS TURN TO ‘MADE IN FRANCE’ FOR €8BN VIRUS AID "French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled on Tuesday (26 May) an €8 billion aid package for the auto industry, which includes increased subsidies for electric car purchases" says Euractiv.com: "Negotiations with the likes of Citroën, Peugeot and Renault have been ongoing for weeks and the €8 billion support package does not come without strings, as Macron has made it clear they are expected to do more domestically. It was not immediately unclear if the support plan has specific conditions in terms of moving production back to France, although Renault will reportedly build electric motors at a plant in Normandy rather than in Asia, as previously planned, in order to access state aid. Renault will also lend its weight to the Battery Alliance, a pan-European industrial push to boost battery production and increase supply in check with growing demand for electric vehicles. Macron’s €8bn scheme is also aimed at consumers, who will be able to benefit from new and improved subsidy schemes worth around €1bn. For electric cars, the current premium of €6,000 for private citizens will increase to €7,000, while plug-in hybrids will be worth €2,000."   https://www.euractiv.com/section/electric-cars/news/macron-demands-carmakers-turn-to-made-in-france-for-e8bn-virus-aid/   RECORD €60BN INVESTMENT IN ELECTRIC CARS AND BATTERIES IN EUROPE SECURED LAST YEAR Europe secured €60 billion in investments to produce electric vehicles and batteries last year – 19 times more than in 2018, new analysis shows. Driven by EU car CO2 targets, industry and governments committed 3.5 times more into EV and battery production in Europe than they did in China, according to T&E’s report. Germany got the biggest chunk, €40 billion, coming mainly from the Volkswagen Group, and Tesla which announced a plant in Berlin. The Czech Republic received €6.6 billion, also thanks to VW, which plans to produce 75 all-electric models worldwide by 2029. Italy secured €1.75 billion in EV investments last year from Fiat, while France, Sweden and the UK each got around €1 billion from car manufacturers. Spain received close to €300 million from Opel, and Croatia got €80 million from Hyundai and Kia.   BYD BLADE PRISMATIC BATTERY CELL SPECS AND POSSIBILITIES "Simpler battery packs made with fewer and larger battery cells weren’t possible with compromised platforms like MQB, however in skateboard platforms like MEB – specially made for electric cars -, they are not only possible, they are what makes sense. Only in late 2016, high energy density battery cells started to be available in pouch format, like the LGX E63 made by LG Chem." says PushEVs: "In 2020, assembling big battery packs with tiny cells doesn’t make sense and I wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla announces a battery pack made with cobalt-free prismatic battery cells in “battery day”. This would be great, not only for Tesla, but also for electric bicycle manufacturers who would benefit from an immediate increase of cylindrical cells available on the market.  BYD Blade Battery is a module-less CTP (cell-to-pack) battery pack. Without modules, the long prismatic battery cells connected in series are put in an array and then inserted into a battery pack, making it as simple as possible. The simplicity of the CTP technology helps to achieve a good energy density at the battery pack level, even if the energy density of the cells isn’t amazing."   https://pushevs.com/2020/05/26/byd-blade-prismatic-battery-cell-specs-possibilities/   RENAULT CAPTUR PLUG-IN HYBRID SPEC REVEALED Renault UK has confirmed full specifications of new E-TECH version of the two all-new Renault Captur Plug-in Hybrid. The All-New Captur Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) benefits from a new petrol-electric powertrain, making it the most efficient and economical in the range as well as the most powerful. The Captur Plug-in Hybrid uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine alongside a 9.8kWh battery driving two electric motors, enabling an all-electric driving range of 30 miles (WLTP) and total power output of 160hp. To help owners make the most of their All-New Captur Plug-in Hybrid, a free 7kW wallbox home charger, supplied and fitted by BP Chargemaster is included as standard for retail customers. Scheduled heating, ventilation and charging times can be controlled via the standard 9.3-inch Easy Link portrait touchscreen or via the new MY Renault APP. In S Edition trim (available from £30,495), the Captur Plug-in benefits from the generous standard equipment list including: 17-inch Bahamas diamond cut alloys wheels 3-inch Easy Link touchscreen with sat-nav, WiFi and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   What are your desired specs for an electric pick-up truck?   I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 227 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.

Show #556   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Tuesday 20th August 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.   MERCEDES-BENZ EQV WORLD PREIMERE A new video hit YoUTube today on the official Mercedes-Benz channel to premiere the EQV. The video description says: "The electric drive train (eATS) of the EQV is situated on the front axle under the dynamic front end of the car with a charging connection in the bumper. It has a peak output of 150 kW. The electric motor, the transmission with a fixed gear ratio, the cooling system and the power electronics constitute a highly integrated, compact unit. The power is provided by a lithium ion battery under the floor of the vehicle. Its low, central location also has a positive effect on the handling characteristics of the EQV. A top speed of up to 160 km/h also ensures that you quickly get to where you are going outside an urban environment."   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyHVf-FQHGk   MERCEDES-BENZ EQV ELECTRIC VAN DEBUTS WITH 250-MILE RANGE "The German luxury marque revealed the EQV online ahead of its global debut at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show next month, and it packs a lot of the tech we expected it would. It's mostly a battery-electric version of the standard V-Class, and the company plans to build it in Spain alongside its fossil-fuel-sipping cousin. Thus, the design is pretty familiar, but the EQV wears a face we've become familiar with." says CNET: "The lithium-ion battery that motivates the EQV is under the floor to save on cargo space. Total, drivers will have 201 horsepower at their disposal and the 90-kWh lithium-ion battery will provide an estimated range of 250 miles. Like so many European estimates, it's important to note the range is based on WLTP standards, which are more liberal than EPA estimates. Mercedes-Benz didn't say how long it will take to charge the van on a standard socket or its 11-kW charging box, but DC fast charging will juice the battery to 80% in under 45 minutes."   https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/mercedes-benz-eqv-electric-van/   MERCEDES EQV REVEALED AS WORLD'S FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC PREMIUM VAN And from Motor1.com today: "Just like the EQV Concept, the production all-electric van adopts the automaker’s MBUX infotainment platform with a single tablet-style screen instead of the 12.3-inch screens seen on other new Mercedes products. The system supports voice control and also allows customers to pre-condition the interior cabin temperature from a special mobile application."   https://uk.motor1.com/news/366081/mercedes-eqv-unveiled-details/   YOU WON'T NEED A PHONE TO USE THE PORSCHE TAYCAN'S APPLE MUSIC "Porsche is including Apple Music in the all-electric Taycan so its drivers can enjoy their tunes without having to connect their phone. That said, you’ll still have to be an Apple Music subscriber, which costs anywhere from $5 to $15 a month. If you already have Apple Music, that’s great. If you need to buy it, well, it still costs the same as a Spotify subscription." reports Jalopnik.   From the press release from Porsche: "From the touchscreen display in the Porsche Advanced Cockpit, Apple Music subscribers can stream over 50 million songs ad-free, thousands of curated playlists, and the Beats 1 global livestream with three-year complimentary in-car internet data. This is the first-ever full integration of Apple Music in any vehicle."   https://jalopnik.com/you-wont-need-a-phone-to-use-the-porsche-taycans-apple-1837400531   PORSCHE’S TAYCAN WILL BE THE FIRST CAR WITH A BUILT-IN APPLE MUSIC APP And from The Verge today: "Although it has previously been possible to listen to Apple Music in compatible cars using CarPlay (which Porsche has supported since 2015), this is the first time Apple’s music streaming service has been available as a native app on any car. Combined with the announcement that Apple is putting iTunes on Samsung TVs, the move shows how Apple is increasingly comfortable with putting its apps and services on non-Apple hardware. Making its services available on a wide range of devices will be important for the company as it shifts towards relying on service subscriptions for more of its revenue."   https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/20/20813467/porsche-taycan-apple-music-built-in-carplay-all-electric-vehicle-car   PORSCHE IS INTEGRATING APPLE MUSIC INTO THE ALL-ELECTRIC TAYCAN Finally TechCrunch spoke with Porsche: "However, the relationship between Apple and Porsche won’t end there, Porsche North America CEO Klaus Zellmer told TechCrunch. More than 80% of the U.S. Porsche customers also have an iPhone, Zellmer told TechCrunch. Porsche said it will also give Taycan owners three years of free in-car internet."   https://techcrunch.com/2019/08/19/porsche-is-integrating-apple-music-into-the-all-electric-taycan/   VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 RESERVATIONS EXCEED 27,000 "Volkswagen has received more than 27,000 reservations for the 1ST launch edition of the Volkswagen ID.3." reports InsideEVs: "The pre-booking of ID.3 1ST was opened on May 8 and the first 10,000 was achieved in 24-hours, on May 9. The pace of registrations then slowed down so the 20,000 mark was reached in early June. Volkswagen has needed more than 100 days to get 27,000 and it's now close to the target of 30,000, which was expected to be achieved by the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. We guess it will be achieved on time, but it's nothing extraordinary taking into consideration the massive sales volume planed. ID.3 1ST special edition (30,000 vehicles), medium battery pack (58 kWh, 420 km / 261 miles of WLTP range), starting below €40,000 in Germany before the deduction of the subsidy, in four colors and three trim versions"   https://insideevs.com/news/366001/volkswagen-id3-reservations-exceed-27000/   FORD’S PLANS FOR 2 MIDSIZED CROSSOVERS ON ITS BEV PLATFORM "Ford’s plans to produce next-generation electric cars in Michigan are becoming more concrete. Two battery-electric mid-range crossover models are apparently planned, one for the Ford brand and another for the Lincoln brand, according to a media report. Both models would be based new BEV platform that was announced in March of this year." according to Electrive: "The two new BEVs, which have code-named CDX746 and CDX747 by Automotive News as they leaked the news, are planned for 2023 and will go into production in Flat Rock, Michigan at the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. According to what Automotive News says are “three sources with knowledge of Ford’s plans”, the vehicles will be similar in size to the Ford Edge, which is also available in Europe."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/08/20/fords-plans-for-2-midsized-crossovers-on-its-bev-platform/   AUSTRALIA'S ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING NETWORK EXPANDS "The National Roads and Motorists’ Association (NRMA) has completed half of its planned 40 station electric vehicle (EV) recharging network with the opening of its latest location in Bega, NSW." reports Carsguide.com.au: "The NRMA’s public charging network is currently free to use for all EV owners, however, the organisation will implement a fee in future for all non-members."   https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/australias-electric-car-charging-network-expands-75771   2021 BMW INEXT RETURNS IN NEW TEASERS SHOWING PROTOTYPES PRODUCTION Anthony Karr at Motor1 has the lowdown on the BMW iNEXT: “Following the first teaser images of the BMW iNEXT, released in March, May, and July, the all-electric SUV is returning in a series of new preliminary images and a video, showing pre-production prototypes in camouflage. The test cars were produced at the company’s Pilot Plant in the heart of the Research & Innovation Centre (FIZ) and will be used for road tests and preparations for actual mass production. BMW’s main goal is to assemble the EV on the same assembly line as conventional ICE-powered and PHEV cars. As for the iNEXT itself, think of it as the all-electric alternative of the X5 in terms of dimensions and cabin room. Currently under development, the model will incorporate BMW’s fifth-generation electric drive system with an estimated range between charges of more than 373 miles (600 kilometers) based on the WLTP cycle. The iNEXT will be the “technology flagship” of the automaker and will support level 3 autonomous driving when it debuts for the 2021 model year."   https://www.motor1.com/news/366028/2021-bmw-inext-teaser-exterior/   REPORT: RANGE ANXIETY REMAINS THE BIGGEST TURN-OFF FOR SWITCHING TO AN EV Range anxiety is still a concern for company car drivers in the UK, despite the growing electric vehicle infrastructure. A new survey conducted by Venson Automotive Solutions reveals that while drivers are widely switched on to the benefits and implications of electric vehicle (EV) ownership, 69% still have concerns with the charging infrastructure. 86% of motorists surveyed said that a ‘lack of clarity in terms of ownership implications as a company car driver’ is a thing of the past, and more than two-thirds of drivers said that they have a good understanding of the costs and convenience of owning an EV.   https://autovistagroup.com/news-and-insights/company-car-drivers-still-have-concerns-over-ev-range-and-infrastructure     COMMUNITY The MYEV.com Question Of The Week.
