Renault is exploring range-extender EV (EREV) technology for its next-generation electric platform — underpinning models like the Scenic successor — where a combustion engine acts only as a generator for trips up to 1,000km, and Provost is pushing for EREVs to be explicitly permitted for sale in the EU and UK beyond the 2035 all-BEV mandate.NORWAY'S EV SHARE RECOVERS AND HITS 98%Norway registered 7,272 new passenger cars in February 2026, with BEVs accounting for 7,127 of them — a 98.01% market share — as the market began to stabilise after a turbulent end to 2025 driven by expiring VAT exemptions. OFV Director Geir Inge Stokke compared the post-surge normalisation to the period following the 2022 VAT reform, with diesel, petrol PHEVs, hybrids, and pure petrol cars dividing up the remaining 2% between them. NORWAY PASSES ONE MILLION BATTERY-ELECTRIC VEHICLESNorway's battery-electric passenger car fleet has crossed one million, with 951,300 BEV passenger cars and 50,300 BEV light commercial vehicles (LCVs) on the road, representing 32.4% of all passenger cars in the country's 2.94 million-strong fleet. Oslo leads with a 48.9% BEV share in its passenger car fleet and is expected to crack 50% before summer, while rural Finnmark trails at 12.2%, and the Norwegian EV Association's Christina Bu says the LCV transition — currently at just 9.7% — urgently needs to accelerate.UPTAKE SPREADS BEYOND WEALTHIER EARLY ADOPTERSResearch from charging firm char.gy and think tank New Automotive shows that EV adoption in England, once closely tied to wealth as measured by the Index of Multiple Deprivation, has spread significantly into poorer areas by Q3 2024–2025, with growth rates converging across most neighbourhoods. Used BEV transactions surged 45.7% in 2025 to a record 274,815 units, lifting used BEV market share to 3.5%, and with more than two million plug-in vehicles now on UK roads, the main remaining challenge is delivering reliable, affordable on-street charging in the most disadvantaged communities. QUANTUMSCAPE UNVEILS PRODUCTION LINE IN CALIFORNIAQuantumScape officially inaugurated its Eagle Line — a highly automated solid-state battery pilot production facility in San Jose, California — on February 4, 2026, designed not for mass production by QuantumScape itself but as a scalable blueprint that licensing partners, including Volkswagen (which has invested over $300 million), can replicate at gigawatt-hour scale in their own plants. With roughly $850 million in liquidity but a history of burning over $100 million annually and Volkswagen having scaled back its involvement in 2023 after missed timelines, QuantumScape's strategy pivot toward licensing means the next 18–24 months are critical for securing a major customer agreement.KIA UK SETS EV2 FIRST DRIVE WEEKENDSKia UK will run First Drive Weekend events for the EV2 across nearly all 190 UK dealers from April 16 to June 27, 2026, offering structured 30-minute accompanied drives ahead of first deliveries expected later in the year. The EV2 is a compact SUV just over four metres long built on the 400V E-GMP platform, supporting 10%–80% DC rapid charging in around 30 minutes, with two battery options (42.2kWh and 61.0kWh) and an expected starting price of around £25,000 — potentially undercutting rivals like the Renault 5 and Ford Puma Gen-E after the UK's £3,750 plug-in vehicle grant.BMW TEASES FOUR-MOTOR ELECTRIC M3 AT NÜRBURGRINGBMW M has released camouflaged footage of the electric M3 prototype — codenamed ZA0 — lapping the Nürburgring, featuring a unique four-motor all-wheel-drive setup with a front-motor decoupling mode for rear-wheel-drive capability that doesn't appear on any other Neue Klasse model. The ZA0 uses a bespoke battery pack with more than 100 kWh of net energy capacity not shared with regular i3 variants, with production targeted for March 2027 — well after the standard i3 sedan, which entered pre-series production at BMW's Munich plant in February 2026.ROYAL ENFIELD SETS 2026–2027 EV AND ICE PUSHRoyal Enfield is launching its first electric motorcycles under a new sub-brand called Flying Flea, starting with the minimalist urban C6 in 2026 and followed by the scrambler-inspired S6 in 2027, both sharing a common battery architecture that signals a modular platform approach. The brand is also developing an electrified Himalayan adventure bike, pushing its EV ambitions beyond city commuting into a segment that demands tougher performance credentials around weight, range, and durability. NEXT POLESTAR WILL BE SPORTIER AND ON CHINESE PLATFORMPolestar will replace the Polestar 2 in 2027 with a lower, sportier saloon that will be meaningfully longer than today's 4.6-metre car — potentially rivalling the BMW 3 Series — with UK pricing expected to start just below £50,000. The new model shifts to a Geely Holdings group-wide platform shared with Volvo, Lotus, Lynk&Co, and Zeekr, developed at "China speed" in a 30-month cycle versus the typical five-to-seven-year European timeline, with software-defined vehicle capability and advanced central computing at its core.ITALY LAUNCHES FIRST OFFICIAL ELECTRIC PORSCHE CLUBRegistro Italiano E-motion has become the world's first Porsche club built exclusively around battery-electric vehicles, earning official recognition from Porsche after beginning life as a pandemic-era chat group for Italian Taycan owners in 2021. The club's inaugural tour brought together 131 participants and 73 vehicles — a mix of 42 Taycans and 31 Macan Electrics, including two Taycan Turbo GT Weissach models — on a multi-day Alpine drive from Porsche Experience Center Franciacorta in northern Italy to the Hans Peter Porsche Traumwerk museum near Salzburg, Austria.

The ID.4 leads the tally with roughly 901,000 units sold globally, while the brand now looks ahead to four new affordable EVs including the ID. Polo, arriving in 2026.ŠKODA GIVES SUPERB HATCH A 200 KW PHEVŠkoda has unveiled a 200 kW plug-in hybrid for the Superb Hatch, pairing a 1.5 TSI petrol engine with an 85 kW electric motor and a 25.7 kWh battery — making it the most powerful combustion-engine model in Škoda's current lineup. The launch reflects growing demand: one in four Superb models now sells with a PHEV powertrain, and more than 68,000 Superb iV models have been delivered since 2019.CANADA OPENS CHINA-BUILT EV QUOTA AT 6.1% TARIFFCanada began accepting import permit applications from 1 March 2026, allowing up to 49,000 China-built EVs per year to enter at a 6.1% tariff — a sharp cut from the 106.1% rate imposed in 2024 — on a first-come, first-served basis. Tesla, Polestar, and Volvo are considered frontrunners to use the allocation, which Ottawa plans to scale to 70,000 vehicles annually by 2030, with 50% of that expanded quota reserved for EVs below a set price threshold.CUPRA SETS 5 MARCH BORN FACELIFT REVEALCupra will unveil the Born facelift on 5 March, bringing harder-edged front and rear styling that aligns the model visually with the newer Terramar and Tavascan, plus expected interior upgrades including more premium materials and a revised infotainment layout. The refresh matters commercially: the Born has sold nearly 30,000 units in the UK alone since its 2022 launch, and Cupra will also soon introduce the smaller Raval electric hatchback from approximately £23,000.RANGE ROVER VELAR EV SPOTTED ON WINTER TESTA Range Rover Velar EV prototype has been caught in European winter testing, revealing a dramatically reshaped body with a cab-forward stance, angular haunches, and a fastback-leaning roofline that breaks sharply from traditional boxy SUV design. Crucially, it will be the first Jaguar Land Rover model built on the new 800-volt Electric Modular Architecture (EMA) platform, which is engineered to deliver over 300 miles of range and faster charging capability.RIVIAN LAUNCHES RAD PERFORMANCE SUB-BRANDRivian has launched the Rivian Adventure Department (RAD), a dedicated performance sub-brand targeting harder and faster off-road driving that puts it in direct competition with Land Rover's Octa and Ford's Raptor line. RAD formalises the engineering team already responsible for the R1S and R1T Quad Motor variants, giving Rivian's performance ambitions an official identity and a public-facing platform.TESLA TELLS MODEL Y OWNERS TO CHARGE GENTLYTesla has updated the Model Y Owner's Manual to advise owners to rely on home Level 1 or Level 2 charging for daily use — keeping limits at 80% — and to reserve Superchargers for road trips, warning that frequent DC fast charging accelerates long-term battery degradation. For long-term storage, Tesla recommends parking at approximately 50% state of charge and flagging that features like Sentry Mode and Dog Mode can silently drain the battery at roughly 1% per day while the car sits idle.VOLVO PLOTS FASTER ZERO-EMISSION TRUCK PUSHVolvo Group is accelerating its battery-electric heavy truck strategy from a position of strength, holding a 19% share of the European heavy-truck market for the second consecutive year. Its flagship FH Aero Electric packs 780 kWh of batteries for up to 600 km of range and supports megawatt charging that takes the pack from 20% to 80% in just 45 minutes — aligning recharge stops with mandatory driver rest breaks.LYTEN TAKES OVER NORTHVOLT'S SWEDISH BATTERY ASSETSLyten has completed its acquisition of Northvolt's Swedish operations — covering Northvolt Ett, Ett Expansion, and Northvolt Labs — in a deal encompassing nearly $5 billion in book value, 16 GWh of manufacturing capacity, and Europe's largest battery R&D centre. The company plans to restart lithium-ion NMC cell production at the Skellefteå site in the second half of 2026, and will use Northvolt Labs in Västerås to advance its proprietary lithium-sulfur battery technology.BRIM EXPLORER ORDERS TWO ELECTRIC TRIMARANSOslo-based Brim Explorer has signed contracts for two fully electric trimarans — each 24 metres long, carrying 180 passengers — which the firm claims will be the world's most efficient battery-powered vessels upon their spring 2027 delivery. The boats will operate silent, emission-free sightseeing cruises along Norway's coast with a battery-only range of 100 nautical miles at speeds up to 20 knots, expanding Brim's existing five-vessel fleet.

The full trio, Robert Llewellyn, Imogen Bhogal and Jack Scarlet reunite for a gloriously chaotic catch-up and debrief! First up: a proper Welsh adventure in three of the UK's most affordable EVs; the BYD Dolphin, Citroën ë-C3 and Leapmotor T03. The cars? Impressively modern. The rural charging infrastructure? Occasionally… nostalgic. They delve into password dramas, charger roulette, and what budget EV life really looks like in 2026.    They also chat about Jack's Kia world exclusive and sub 20 degrees conditions in Norway while testing the EV2. Meanwhile, Robert reflects on how Volvo Cars now talks about EVs as simply "cars", the huge cultural shift he's been waiting for!    Plus: solar megaprojects in Australia, gravity storage from Green Gravity, birthday cake… and Jack's big Japan sabbatical announcement...! 00:00:11 Intro: The 97th Take 00:01:21 Imogen's Paris Trip & Renault Brand CEO Interview  00:03:07 The Future of Small EVs and the Renault Espace  00:07:38 Robert's Australia Trip: Solar Farms and Gravity Storage  00:10:12 The Wales Road Trip: Small EVs vs. Rural Infrastructure  00:12:12 The "Charging Nightmare" and Offensive Passwords  00:16:47 World Exclusive: Testing the Kia EV2 in Norway  00:19:50 Surviving -20°C: Tales from the Norwegian Range Test  00:22:15 Jack's Big Sabbatical: Heading to Japan  00:23:12 Launch FOMO: Ioniq 6, Polestar 5, and More  00:27:58 Volvo's "Early Adopters" Advert and Normalising EVs  00:30:43 Five Years of Change: From Niche to "Just a Car"  00:31:51 Renault's Hybrid Strategy vs. Pure Electric  00:34:04 Birthday Reflections 00:35:56 Robert's Wisdom: Am I the A**hole?  00:38:35 Final Wrap-Up and Live Events Info   Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: www.everythingelectric.show    Check out our sister channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/EverythingElectricShow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show   EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026  EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026 EE SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park - 18th - 20th Sept 2026

L'industrie automobile mondiale traverse une mutation historique, entre transition électrique, rivalités géopolitiques et pressions réglementaires. Nous vous proposons une plongée au cœur de cette révolution : un reportage exclusif au plus près des lignes de production de l'usine Volvo Cars à Gand (Belgique) et des analyses d'experts pour mieux comprendre les défis et les enjeux d'une filière en pleine recomposition.     Reportage à l'usine Volvo Car Gent (Belgique) L'usine en chiffres :

Sean Farrington looks into the prospect of robotaxis coming to the streets of London. We also hear from the UK boss of Volvo on what's next after more than 10,000 cars were recalled over a fire risk. And as the UK's first geothermal power plant is switched on in Cornwall, we hear from the man who runs it.

Nicole Melillo Shaw, Managing Director of Volvo UK, joins Big Boss Interview at a pivotal moment for the electric vehicle market, as the company recalls 10,500 EX30 electric cars following four battery fires globally.“It's against everything we stand for,” she says, reflecting on a situation that challenges a brand built on nearly a century of safety leadership. Despite a global failure rate of just 0.02% and no fatalities, Volvo identified the root cause in late December and immediately instructed owners not to charge beyond 70% while a fix is implemented. Repairs are scheduled to begin in late March. For Volvo, the response reflects what she describes as a precautionary, safety-first culture, even when the commercial implications are uncomfortable.Melillo Shaw examines what the recall means for consumer confidence in electric vehicles — a technology already under heightened scrutiny — even though petrol vehicles statistically present a greater inherent fire risk due to flammable fuel systems.The recall comes as electric vehicle adoption remains slower than manufacturers once anticipated, despite annual growth exceeding 20%. Volvo's UK electric sales peaked at 28% following the EX30 launch but have since stabilised at just over 22 per cent as more than 160 additional models enter the market and buyers opt for “one more petrol” or hybrid before fully switching.Range anxiety, she argues, is no longer the central issue, but infrastructure concerns persist. Confusing government messaging — pairing incentives with discussions of pay-per-mile charges and benefit-in-kind changes — continues to add to consumer hesitation.Global instability adds further complexity. Volvo has been regionalising production, partly in response to tariff pressures, building vehicles closer to the markets in which they are sold. That turbulence elevates the UK's importance as Volvo's third-largest market, where a direct-to-consumer model has delivered 40% growth and lifted market share from 2.5% to 3.5%.Government Zero Emission Vehicle mandates now require manufacturers to meet steep electrification quotas or face fines of £12,000 per non-compliant vehicle from November. Volvo discontinued diesel models in the UK in 2023 and says it could sell 100% electric vehicles tomorrow if demand existed. However, meeting regulatory targets while absorbing development costs and discounting pressures presents a commercial balancing act.Finally, Melillo Shaw reflects on her own trajectory — from Scunthorpe through healthcare brands to automotive leadership. Volvo deliberately recruited her because she had never bought a car, valuing the perspective of someone who understood the anxiety of a major purchase. She argues the industry must broaden access and challenge assumptions about who belongs in automotive careers, creating clearer pathways for talent from working-class communities.

You can be like them by clicking here: https://www.patreon.com/EVNewsDailyLUCID LIFTS SALES, STILL BLEEDS CASHLucid posted Q4 2025 revenue of $522.7 million — more than double the prior year — and full-year revenue of $1.35 billion (+68%), while delivering 15,841 vehicles in 2025 (+55%), its eighth consecutive quarter of record deliveries, backed by $4.6 billion in liquidity. The growth comes at a steep price: the company burned $3.8 billion in cash in 2025, announced its third layoff in three years (cutting 12% of US salaried staff), and is banking on a new ~$50,000 midsize SUV later in 2026.EU PETROL AND DIESEL SHARE SLIDES AGAINEU new car registrations fell 3.9% in January 2026, but the real story is the collapse in fossil fuel powertrains: the combined petrol and diesel share fell from 39.5% a year ago to just 30.1%, down from 48.7% in January 2024, with petrol registrations dropping 28.2% year-on-year across France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. Pure BEVs took a 19.3% share (up from 14.9% twelve months prior), and electrified powertrains collectively accounted for around 68% of all January registrations.COMMISSION DELAYS "MADE IN EUROPE" PROCUREMENT ACTThe European Commission's Industrial Accelerator Act — which would add a "European preference" to public procurement, including a 70% EU-origin threshold for electric vehicles — has been delayed for a fourth time, now targeting a 4 March presentation. The UK has raised concerns that any protectionist tilt could damage cross-Channel automotive supply chains, given the EU is the largest export market for UK-built cars.VOLVO RECALLS 40,323 EX30S OVER FIRE RISKVolvo has issued a formal recall of 40,323 EX30 Single-Motor Extended Range and Twin-Motor Performance vehicles over a battery overheating risk — caused by lithium plating growth in cells from Shandong Geely Sunwoda Power Battery Co — that could trigger a fire. Volvo will replace the battery modules free of charge, but has disputed Reuters' estimate that the replacements alone could cost around $195 million, while continuing to advise owners to cap charging at 70% until their vehicle is fixed.T&E PUSHES EU TO TOUGHEN CORPORATE EV QUOTASTransport & Environment, an NGO advocating for clean transport, is urging the EU to raise corporate fleet EV targets to 69% zero-emission vehicles by 2030 — well above the Commission's proposed 45% — while excluding PHEVs entirely, arguing that company car drivers rarely plug in and routinely exceed lab-test emissions figures. Corporate buyers account for roughly 60% of new EU car sales, and T&E says its stricter targets would deliver 1.9 million additional EU-made EV sales in 2030, versus 1.2 million under the current Commission plan, while redirecting €42 billion in annual fossil fuel company car tax subsidies toward EU-built EVs.VAUXHALL CONFIRMS ELECTRIC CORSA GSE FOR 2026Vauxhall has confirmed a fully electric Corsa GSE for 2026, the brand's first hot hatch in eight years and the second model under its revived GSE performance sub-brand. The car is expected to carry over the Mokka GSE's 276bhp front motor, 54kWh battery, Torsen limited-slip differential, and Alcon brakes — a combination that delivers 0–62mph in 5.9 seconds on the Mokka, matching the Mini Cooper Electric JCW.RENAULT TO BUY OUT FLEXIS PARTNERSRenault plans to take full ownership of Flexis, its electric van joint venture, by buying out partners Volvo Group and CMA CGM — part of a broader retrenchment under new CEO François Provost that also sees the Ampere EV and software unit folded back into Renault Group by as early as July 2026. The first Flexis product, the Renault Trafic Van E-Tech, remains on track for production at Sandouville before the end of 2026, with Renault Trucks distributing the van from 2027 under an existing light commercial vehicle partnership.LEPAS CONFIRMS L8 SUV FOR UK LAUNCHChery-owned Lepas has confirmed its L8 SUV as its first UK model, with a summer 2026 launch expected and full specifications still to come. The most likely powertrain is the plug-in hybrid system shared with the UK-spec Jaecoo 7 — a 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with an electric motor and 18.3kWh battery delivering 56 miles of electric range and 204bhp total — with a pure EV variant expected to follow.HONDA ICON E: ELECTRIC SCOOTER HITS ¥220,000 IN JAPANHonda has launched the ICON e: electric scooter in Japan at ¥220,000 (~$1,435 / €1,350), undercutting its own petrol mopeds by around ¥20,000 and claiming 81km (50 miles) of range via a removable, swappable Mobile Power Pack e: battery. Accessible from age 16 under Japan's moped licence class — mirroring the EU's AM category — the ICON e: is designed for urban practicality over headline specs, and its sub-€1,400 price positions it well as European cities continue to tighten low-emission zones.

Don't shy away from the junkyard when it's time to find a part.  Whether you're a hardcore salvage builder looking for a door skin or it's your first time and you just need a head rest, outfits like Best Foreign Used Parts are ideal - lots of stock, lots of knowledge, and lots of tetanus shots.  Hostus Maximus Justin Fort and Ryan The TBD may be a little biased (It's in there!), but there's a lot to learn from this episode: what parts move fastest, the cars that junkyard shoppers like the most (and where), what to do first when you're heading to the junkyard, and a little bit about this business as a whole.  There's also Dodge R/Ts (Dakota and Caravan), Toyotas, Panteras, Typhoons, Cyclones, Renaults, an MG and a Volvo 240, cars with guns, 'fridges, violins and money, and so many Subarus.  The master of this demonstration of disassembly at Best Parts (Don), also has excellent stories from four decades in the business - crazy finds in the 'yard, what goes on after the gates close, airbag "testing", walking catalytics, hail (No!), junkyard magic, the price of steel, and structural recycling. Soup for you: The Allman Brothers, faces for radio, Colorado Springs and Gold Hill history (schmistory!), R-rated junk car finds, and Johnny Cash's forgotten song about Deloreans. ...And don't trust your lyin' eyes - the Garage Hour is always PG, so the "Explicit" rating that occasionally appears on episodes is just some 'bot that was too drunk to do its job.

Seekord kutsusime külla Gert Elmiku ja Risto Egipti, kellest esimene on Stello Auto tegevjuht ning teine töökoja meister ja "Ferrari projektijuht". Eesmärk on esmalt natuke vaadata sisse ühe autotöökoja sisemaailma. Miks ja kuidas üldse ühte töökoda käima lükatakse? Eriti kui see spetsialiseerub algul Stellantise väga kirjule autovalikule. Miks tekkis sinna juurde Volvo? Mida kõike veel lisaks tegema ja teadma peaks? Aga veelgi põnevam on see, et nende töökojas kohtab aina tihedamini ka autosid, mille embleemil on perutav hobune ja/või päritolumaaks Itaalia. Kuidas hakkab üks töökoda nö "nullist" Ferrarisid remontima ning kui keeruline see on? Mis autod järgmiseks? Saatejuht on Tarmo Tähepõld Geeniuse autoportaalist.

Apple's new Mac purchasing flow that starts with a base model and adds options is debated by the  MacVoices Live! panel, weighing flexibility against harder price comparisons for businesses and planners. Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, Web Bixby, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Eric Bolden, Marty Jencius, Mark Fuccio, and Norbert Frassa discuss supply chains, memory pricing, and reseller impacts. The conversation then shifts to automotive news, praising Volvo's continued CarPlay support and exploring Kia/Hyundai's planned CarPlay Ultra adoption and broader implications for in-car software.  MacVoices is supported by CleanMyMac from MacPaw.

On this episode of Best Bets for Pets, host Michelle Fern tackles an important topic for anyone who travels with their pet — especially the more than 800,000 U.S. truck drivers who bring their dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Volvo Trucks North America has partnered with the Center for Pet Safety to conduct the first-of-its-kind evaluation of pet safety in a Class 8 long-haul truck — and the results may surprise you. Michelle speaks with Chris Stadler of Volvo Trucks about the all-new Volvo VNL, which passed the pet safety assessment, including strength-tested anchor points compatible with CPS-certified harnesses and carriers, an industry-leading battery-powered Parking Cooler that keeps pets comfortable up to eight hours without idling, and innovative sleeper-cab design features that support safe pet travel. Whether you drive a big rig or a family SUV, this episode highlights crucial lessons about securing pets, managing temperature, and raising the bar for travel safety for our four-legged co-pilots.EPISODE NOTES: Big Rigs & Barking Co-Pilots - Volvo: Raising the Bar on Pet Travel SafetyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-bets-for-pets-the-latest-pet-product-trends-pets-animals-pet-life-radio-original--6667904/support.

Bridget Beldin achieved the "American dream"-a good job, a loving family, and even a Volvo station wagon! But she felt an unshakeable emptiness. Something was missing. So she embarked on a journey to uncover her true self. 'What are the keys to navigating such a life shaking transition? For Bridget, it meant discovering the importance of being value-driven and staying true to oneself. Learning to listen to one's intuition is vital, particularly in the face of fear. But the fear can also be a catalyst for change. Leaning into it by cultivating mindfulness and creating a space for stillness, answers from our inner wisdom can emerge.

Greetings, Brigadiers! We're partying like it's episode 99 here at BBASHQ with a review of the 2012 Stacy Peralta documentary, Bones Brigade: An Autobiography. Highly anticipated upon its release- arriving late in the wake of 2001's pivotal Dogtown and Z-Boys- the film follows not just the revolutionary impact arc the “big six” had on skateboarding in the 1980's- from massive bowl contests to haphazard events on splintery backyard ramps to sold-out arenas- but the previously unseen and highly emotional undercurrent of navigating the rivalries, insecurities, egos and vulnerabilities that came with their unexpected rise to skate stardom. As always, we get into it all, so hop into the back of the Volvo and join us- shall you?You can help support our show by buying us a coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.buymeacoffee.com/BBASpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thebonesbrigadeaudioshow.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thebonesbrigadeaudioshow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bones Brigade Audio Show⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us your questions and feedback to read on future episodes:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thebonesbrigadeaudioshow.com/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

Volvo, Comcast, the entire population of Senegal, Telegram, an AI Chat App, and Russia's state required messaging platform are all the reasons why we should just quit the internet...

In 1974, Sweden delivered 1,000 Volvo 144 sedans to North Korea, hoping to spark a new era of trade. The cars arrived, but the payment never did. Five decades later, the debt has ballooned into the billions, and the vintage Volvos are still being spotted on the streets of Pyongyang. This episode of True Crime To Go breaks down the largest "car theft" in history—a state-sponsored swindle that remains on Sweden's books to this day. --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Benjamin reviews the 2026 GMC Terrain Denali, a model we haven't even thought about since 2021! It's got good looks, plenty of equipment and a decent price... but why is Sami so annoyed by it? Maybe it has something to do with his ancient phone... Then Sami reviews the 2026 Volvo XC60, a car the guys haven't reviewed since 2022! It has a mild hybrid system, a punchy turbo-four and decent looks, so Sami and Benjamin get to the bottom of why this car has been overshadowed by other choices in the segment. That's it for this week, thanks for listening!

Cuando hablamos de coches, solemos centrarnos en cifras que lucen bien en una ficha técnica: caballos de potencia, par motor, número de cilindros o milisegundos en el cambio de marchas. Sin embargo, existe un factor crítico que la mayoría de los aficionados e incluso muchos expertos pasan por alto, y es el responsable directo de que un motor sea refinado o rudo, de que suene como un trueno o como un violín: el orden de encendido. Un motor de combustión interna es, en esencia, una sucesión de explosiones violentas controladas. Para que un motor de cuatro tiempos complete su ciclo (admisión, compresión, explosión y escape), el cigüeñal debe dar dos vueltas completas, es decir, 720 grados de giro. El reto de los ingenieros es repartir las explosiones de todos los cilindros de la forma más equitativa posible dentro de esos 720 grados. Si las explosiones ocurrieran de forma desordenada o todas a la vez, las fuerzas resultantes serían tan destructivas que el motor se desintegraría o vibraría hasta aflojar cada tornillo del chasis. Por ello, el orden de encendido actúa como un director de orquesta. 4 Cilindros: El equilibrio del 1-3-4-2 En el motor más común del mundo, el de cuatro cilindros en línea, el estándar de oro es la secuencia 1-3-4-2. Podríamos pensar que lo lógico sería un orden secuencial (1-2-3-4), pero esto crearía un efecto de "caballito" longitudinal. Al explotar los cilindros uno tras otro desde un extremo del motor al otro, la vibración sería insoportable. Al utilizar el orden 1-3-4-2, los ingenieros logran saltar de un extremo al centro-derecha, luego al otro extremo y finalmente al centro-izquierda, cancelando las fuerzas de inercia y protegiendo el cigüeñal de la fatiga. El misticismo de los 5 cilindros El motor de 5 cilindros, famoso en marcas como Audi y Volvo, posee un orden de encendido (1-2-4-5-3) que es pura magia para los oídos. Al dividir los 720 grados entre cinco, hay una explosión cada 144 grados. Dado que el tiempo de expansión de un cilindro dura casi 180 grados, se produce un solapamiento: antes de que un cilindro deje de empujar, el siguiente ya ha encendido. V6: La búsqueda del ritmo perdido El motor V6 ha sido históricamente uno de los más complicados de diseñar. Para que sea perfecto, la "V" debería ser de 60 grados para permitir explosiones cada 120 grados exactos. Sin embargo, la historia nos ha dejado ejemplos de motores "cojos". Al mantener el ángulo de 90 grados del V8 original pero con solo seis pistones, el orden de encendido quedó descompensado, provocando explosiones en intervalos irregulares (90º... 150º...). El resultado fue un motor que vibraba y sonaba "roto". La batalla de los V8: Cross-plane vs. Flat-plane Aquí es donde el orden de encendido explica la diferencia entre un Muscle Car americano y un superdeportivo italiano. Cigüeñal en Cruz (Cross-plane): Es el diseño del V8 americano clásico (Corvette, Mustang) y de los grandes sedanes alemanes. Su orden de encendido (1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3) hace que, en ciertos momentos, dos cilindros del mismo banco exploten consecutivamente. Esto crea una interferencia de gases en el colector de escape; los pulsos chocan entre sí creando el famoso borboteo sincopado y grave. Es el sonido de la potencia bruta y la turbulencia. Cigüeñal Plano (Flat-plane): Es el diseño de Ferrari y de los motores de competición. Es, esencialmente, dos motores de 4 cilindros unidos. Su orden (1-8-3-6-4-5-2-7) siempre alterna entre el banco izquierdo y el derecho. Nunca se repite lado, por lo que los gases de escape fluyen sin interferencias. Esto genera una nota de escape limpia, aguda y permite que el motor suba de vueltas de forma frenética, alcanzando regímenes imposibles para un V8 convencional. V10 y V12: La aristocracia mecánica El V10 es un motor inherentemente inestable que requiere una gestión del orden de encendido muy precisa para controlar su enorme par motor. Aunque se asocia a veces con motores pesados, diseños como el del Viper (perfeccionado por Lamborghini) demostraron que su secuencia de encendido puede ofrecer un carácter salvaje. Finalmente, el V12 representa la perfección absoluta. Se puede ver como dos motores de 6 cilindros en línea unidos. Dado que el 6 en línea ya está equilibrado por naturaleza, el V12 es la suavidad total. En su secuencia de encendido, siempre hay tres cilindros empujando simultáneamente en diferentes fases.

This week on Watts in the News, we break down one of the biggest shifts in Tesla's history. Tesla has officially canceled the Model S and Model X, ending new sales as production lines at Fremont are converted to build Optimus humanoid robots. The move signals a major pivot toward AI, robotics, Full Self-Driving (FSD), and Robotaxi, raising big questions about Tesla's long-term direction.We're joined by Tesla legends and YouTubers Bearded Tesla Guy and JoshWest 24/7, who bring firsthand perspective from years of Tesla ownership, long-distance road trips, and a recent FSD drive across the United States. Together, we discuss whether Tesla is moving too fast, whether the company is shifting away from personally owned vehicles, and what this means for future products like Robotaxi, Cybercab, and even the Cybertruck potentially operating autonomously for cargo and logistics.➡️ ⁨Tesla Conversation With  @BeardedTeslaGuy  and  @JoshWest247  : https://youtu.be/XS3rPj-LPI4➡️ Jessie's Trip to Sweden with  @kempower  : https://youtu.be/A-ifvVG_qPc➡️ BowefamilyEV Silverado, Lightning at Gravity at the Tesla V4 Chargers! : https://youtu.be/SHyH59MANtYWe also cover the importance of charging infrastructure at scale. Co-host Jessie shares insights from his upcoming trip to Sweden with Kempower, where he'll see megawatt charging in action, and we discuss why megawatt-level charging is critical for heavy-duty EVs. Plus, we break down Tesla's megawatt charging agreement with Pilot and what it means for the future of electric trucking in North America.From Tesla's vehicle cancellations to Optimus, autonomy, and charging at massive scale — this episode tackles the question: Is Tesla building the future too early, or exactly on time?

This week on America on the Road, Jack Nerad puts Mazda's new 2026 CX-70 Turbo S Premium to the test, while Chris Teague drives Volvo's smallest and quickest electric SUV, the 2026 Volvo EX30. Jack and Chris also break down the top stories shaping today's car market, from Tesla's big shift in the way it charges for driver-assistance features to Volvo's bold claim that its new EX60 electric SUV can finally put range anxiety to rest. In addition, the show digs into the growing strain of auto loan debt across generations and a controversial federal court ruling that requires that taxpayer funds be spent on electric-vehicle infrastructure.

Il est né à Buenos Aires dans une famille aux origines arméniennes, britanniques et françaises, s'est formé au lycée français avant d'étudier l'architecture navale à l'université de Southampton : Juan Kouyoumdjian - Juan K. pour les intimes - ne pouvait être un architecte tout à fait comme les autres...Sa triple culture, à la fois sud-américaine, francophone et anglo-saxonne, a nourri une approche du design fondée sur l'analyse, la rigueur scientifique et une vision globale des projets, et une attirance pour le savoir-faire des "crazy Frenchies" .Il débute ainsi sa carrière professionnelle à La Rochelle au sein du cabinet de Philippe Briand, alors très impliqué dans la Coupe de l'America. Cette première expérience le place rapidement au contact du plus haut niveau de la conception de bateaux de course. À la fin des années 1990, il signe ses premiers projets en son nom, dont un 50 pieds dessiné pour Ortwin Kandler à l'occasion de l'Admiral's Cup 1999. Conçu pour exploiter les limites de la jauge IMS, Krazy Kyote suscite une forte controverse réglementaire, qui contribue néanmoins à asseoir sa notoriété internationale.Les années suivantes sont marquées par une implication continue dans la Coupe de l'America et dans la Volvo Ocean Race. Juan Kouyoumdjian accompagne la transition technologique du début des années 2000, caractérisée par l'essor de la simulation numérique et de la modélisation avancée. Les campagnes Volvo d'ABN AMRO (2005-2006) , Ericsson (2008-2009) puis Groupama (2011-2012) se traduisent par trois victoires consécutives.Parallèlement, Juan K. développe une activité soutenue dans le secteur des maxis et des bateaux de série. Des monocoques de 100 pieds aux projets réalisés avec Nautor Swan, il intervient dans un univers dominé par des propriétaires privés, des budgets importants et des règles de jauge complexes, où les choix techniques s'inscrivent autant dans des logiques sportives que réglementaires et économiques.Son parcours en IMOCA (Cheminées Poujoulat, Paprec Arké, Corum L'Epargne) apparaît plus contrasté. Juan K. souligne la complexité de la conception de bateaux destinés au solitaire, où le facteur humain conditionne fortement la performance. Plusieurs projets montrent un potentiel de vitesse élevé, mais sont affectés par des avaries ou des limites structurelles, empêchant une exploitation optimale en course.A 54 ans, il en nourrit quelques regrets, mais serait prêt à repartir sur un projet avec un seul skipper : Franck Cammas, avec qui il a gagné la Volvo Ocean Race.

When Slovakia was part of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the cars it made were noisy, thirsty and slow by western standards at the time. But when Volkswagen bought the car-maker Skoda, that was the beginning of a major change. Now, Slovakia makes almost a million cars a year and with Volvo opening a factory here in 2027, it'll be a quarter of a million more. Extraordinary for a country of five million people. We visit a factory and find out why this small nation is attracting so much car industry investment.

The last few years have been a rollercoaster for wagon fans in the US and around the world - we've gained some and lost many more. But could the tides be changing? Tailgates opening to new beginnings? We dive into the origins of the station wagon to find out... === Visit http://JasonSentMe.com to get a Hagerty Guaranteed Value (TM) collector-car insurance quote! === Both fans of the station wagon, Jason and Derek discuss their personal origin stories with wagons. Jason's begins with a 1975 Chevrolet Impala Wagon that he grew up in the back of - which spurs a conversation around 1970s and 80s American station wagons from the GM clamshell tailgate, the Buick Estate Wagon and Roadmaster, to the rare Cadillac Castilian. Derek discusses growing up in the ‘90s (1890s, of course) - while his family cars were convertibles and sedans, the school run was enveloped in Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable wagons, Volvo 240 and 740, Mercedes 300TE and E320, E34 BMW 5 series, and Audi 5000 and 200 Avants. Exploring how many consider wagons to be uncool or frumpy, he explores the advent of new at the time SUV offerings starting in the same time period, like the Ford Explorer and Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. Jason and Derek then explore what has become of the wagon market and why- noting the recent departure of the Volvo V90 and V60. Many wagons have inflated greatly in cost, ending up under or over-contented due to lower demand and cost of federalization - a trend explored via the Acura TSX Wagon and Jaguar XF Sportbrake. The classification of wagons has also changed over the years, now grouping CUVs like the new Subaru Outback and Buick Envista that have no business being classified as a wagon. Favorite niche wagons are also discussed, like the Volkswagen Passat W8 4Motion 6 Speed, the euro-only Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, and modified variants of BMW wagons like the E46 Touring with ZHP drivetrain.
