#361 – Autotelefon-Autorätsel: Welches Auto eines britischen Sportwagenherstellers hätte eigentlich rund 4000 Mal pro Jahr verkauft werden sollen – wurde dann aber nur knapp 600 Mal an Mann und Frau gebracht? Trotz oder wegen seines Leergewichts von 988 Kilogramm. Weitaus länger und mit einem noch höheren Neupreis: der Aston Martin Lagonda der Serien 2 bis 4. Seine keilförmige Karosserie erblickte Blumi kürzlich in München – und war schockverliebt. Wie ergeht es uns da bem Blick auf den neuen VW ID. Polo? Listen and learn! Hosts: Paul-Janosch Ersing, Michael Blumenstein // Wer lesen kann, ist klar im Vorteil?

We beginnen deze week relaxed: Nico geniet van het weer en rijdt volop in zijn Z4, die inmiddels bijna perfect werkt (op een kleine kap-storing na). Wouter? Die heeft weer de halve wereld gezien — van China tot Hillegersberg. Dan het nieuws. Brandstofprijzen blijven pijn doen: €2,62 per liter en nog steeds geen echte verlichting in zicht. Tanken in Duitsland loont meer dan ooit, en er zijn ontwikkelingen rondom OPEC die ooit voor lagere prijzen kunnen zorgen… maar voorlopig niet. Volkswagen komt met groot nieuws: de ID. Polo en ID. Cross. Elektrische instappers rond de €25-28k — en dat is precies waar de markt om vraagt. Tegelijk wil VW Chinese modellen naar Europa halen om kosten te drukken en concurrentie aan te kunnen.

VW ID. Buzz dykker markant i pris, mens Mercedes sætter gang i en voldsom offensiv. Volkswagen tager bladet fra munden og sender prisen på den populære VW ID. Buzz nedad. Den nye indstigningsmodel »Pure« er historisk billig. Hvis rækkevidde er din største prioritet, er der ingen vej uden om den nye elektriske C-Klasse. Med op til 762 km på en opladning og en lynhurtig 800-volts arkitektur viser Mercedes-Benz, hvor skabet skal stå. Samtidig er den praktiske Mercedes-Benz GLB blevet opgraderet, så den nu kan køre længere og med mere plads i kabinen. I ugens Bilradio diskuterer Christian Schacht og Jan Lang de mange nyheder. Det sker også i Bilradio:Maserati i frit fald: Prisen er banket ned med næsten en halv million kr. Hyundai provokerer: Den nye Hyundai Ioniq 3 ligner en konceptbil, der er sluppet fri. Rundt design og op mod 500 km rækkevidde. MG ryster posen: Du kan nu få en fuldvoksen elbil (MG S5) til under 200.000 kr. MG4 er samtidig opdateret med en langt bedre kabine. Citroën-mareridt: Flere ejere af den billige Citroën ë-C3 oplever massive tekniske fejl. En bil har stået på værksted i fem måneder. Brandfælde: Eksperter advarer om, at moderne biler brænder tre gange kraftigere end før. Danske p-huse er slet ikke gearet til varmen. Test: Citroën ë-C5 Aircross svæver over vejen til en skarp pris, men lader desværre for langsomt undervejs.

Nicola, Mike and new presenter Sam Burnett settle in to chat through the latest EV headlines, what they've been driving, and answer your questions.This week, there's plenty to get stuck into – from the newly revealed Nissan Juke and the (sort-of) approval of Tesla's self-driving tech in the Netherlands, to Kia making the surprising decision to axe one of its most successful electric models. Plus, there's excitement around a Mercedes capable of a jaw-dropping 574 miles on a charge.The team also share their latest drives, including the VW ID models, a long-term farewell to the Volvo EX30, and a cross-channel EV trip in a Hyundai Kona Electric.As always, listeners are at the heart of the show. There's advice for a soon-to-be Polestar 2 owner choosing the right home charging tariff, guidance on picking a used EV for mixed driving needs, and some fascinating real-world efficiency data from the community.Add in your comments on pothole-proof cars, infotainment frustrations, and app reliability – plus a few laughs along the way – and you've got another lively half hour of EV chat.Plug in, turn up, and enjoy the ride.

Det vælter ind med store nyheder til de danske bilister. I denne uge tager Bilradio-værterne Christian Schacht og Jan Lang pulsen på alt fra vilde kvalitetsløft til luksusmonstre med rekordrækkevidde. Går du med elbildrømme, er der god grund til at spidse ørerne. En af de mest populære elbiler herhjemme, VW ID.3, får nemlig en total makeover og skifter navn til ID.3 Neo. Volkswagen har endelig smidt den billige plastik ud og genindført fysiske knapper på rattet. Samtidig får rækkevidden et massivt boost til 630 km. Ifølge Jan Lang er det en opgradering, der rammer plet hos de danske forbrugere, men er prisen konkurrencedygtig? I ugens podcast får du også historien om Mazda CX-6e, som er en gigantisk SUV, der med sin længde er større end en Tesla Model Y og proppet med kinesisk skærmteknologi. Derudover ser værterne nærmere på den nye Mercedes EQS, som nu kommer med 800-volts lynhurtig opladning og en rækkevidde på svimlende 926 km. Endelig er finalefeltet til Årets Brugtbil 2026 fundet, og eksperterne giver deres bud på de seks bedste brugtkøb netop nu. Resten af programmet er spækket med nyheder: Tesla-gennembrud: Det hollandske grønne lys til Teslas selvkørende system og betydningen for danske ejere.Renault 4: Nyt elektrisk foldetag til 10.000 kr. præcis i tide til sommerferien.Nissan Juke EV: Radikalt ”origami-design” på vej til de danske veje.Testgaragen: Duel mellem den kinesiske udfordrer Leapmotor B10 og Renault Scénic.Mindeord: Et sidste farvel til bilisternes vagthund, Leif Nielsen.Lytterspørgsmål: Svar på dilemmaet fra sidste uge.

FOLLOW UP: NTSB REPORTS ON FATAL BLUECRUISE INCIDENTSThe National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has published their report on two fatal incidents that involved Ford's BlueCruise semi-automated driving system, that allows for ‘hands off eyes on' driving. Some blame is being put on the driver's “over-reliance” in the systems, but also it is made clear the company and regulations played a part. if you wish to read more on the findings, click this CNN article link here.However, the findings fail to discuss the inherent flaw in the system that has been documented from as far back as April 1948, when it comes to humans supervising automated systems. Click this Sage Journals link to N H Mackworth's research examining this issue.MOTABILITY DRIVERS SINGLED OUT AGAINThanks to the victimisation of those using the Motability scheme, originating from a far-right ‘think-tank', all drivers under 30 and those newly entering the scheme will have to have black boxes fitted. These boxes will record their journeys and from the binary inputs of those drivers they will be ‘judged' on how well they drive. This is despicable because the technology cannot judge because it is only using the binary inputs on braking, accelerating and steering with absolutely no knowledge of the environment or anything occurring around the vehicle.

Most of the onus is on the garages themselves, but you should be aware of them. The Government is asking for the centres to do more but is keeping the price cap where it is. To find out what the changes are, click this link to a MotorCheck article link here.LUCID COMING TO THE UK IN 2027Lucid is bringing their next to be revealed car, the Cosmos, to the UK in 2027. This will be an electric SUV which is aiming at the likes of the BMW iX3 and Volvo EX60. There are no images yet, nor any technical details.

There is some complication to all this as there is a First Edition option, which will be, yes you guessed it, the launch edition but that starts at £26,995 and has a 42kWh battery and 198 miles range. However, the entry to the range, available later, is the Air trim which will get a 61kWh battery and 281maximum range.

Another car that we cannot believe is the age it is, is the Renault 21. Once a common sight on UK roads, time has not been kind but when a company decides one platform/layout is not enough, it is easy to see why. Click this Hagerty article link here for more.
Koeajotunnelmissa päästään vertaamaan Kia PV5 Cargoa ja Volkswagen e-Caravellea, joista on tarjolla pakettiautoa ja seitsemänpaikkaista pikkubussia. Tämän koeajokimaran perusteella on selvää, että Volkswagen saa taikoa Caravelleensa melkoisia takuuaikoja ja huoltovälejä pärjätäkseen korealaiselle, tuumaa autotoimittaja Arttu Toivonen. Lisäksi Henri Posa on päässyt ottamaan tuntumaa Volkswagen ID. Crossiin.

Te vamos a contar toda la verdad en 2026. ¿Es cierto que un fallo en la batería significa el fin de la vida útil de un coche eléctrico? Esta es la pregunta del millón que frena a muchos compradores y quita el sueño a otros tantos. La creencia popular dice que cualquier avería en el acumulador de energía implica un gasto de 20.000 euros o el desguace inmediato, pero la realidad técnica y financiera es mucho más compleja y, afortunadamente, más optimista. La anatomía de la "caja negra" Para entender si una batería se puede reparar, primero hay que saber qué hay dentro. No estamos ante un bloque sólido e indivisible. Una batería de tracción se compone de tres niveles: las celdas (la unidad mínima), los módulos (agrupaciones de celdas) y el pack (el conjunto total con su carcasa, refrigeración y el cerebro electrónico o BMS). En la mayoría de los casos, "reparar" consiste en identificar el módulo defectuoso y sustituirlo, evitando el coste astronómico de cambiar el pack completo. La economía de la reparación La decisión de reparar no es solo técnica, es puramente financiera. En 2026, los precios de las baterías han bajado significativamente, rondando los 130-150 €/kWh. Por ejemplo, una batería nueva de un Renault ZOE puede costar unos 7.500 €, mientras que la de un VW ID.4 sube hasta los 16.500 €. Si la sustitución de un módulo ronda los 2.000 €, el ahorro es evidente. Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta el "State of Health" (SOH) o estado de salud general. Si el resto de la batería está muy degradado, poner un módulo nuevo es inútil, ya que se descompensará rápidamente con los antiguos. Arquitectura y reparabilidad: No todos los coches son iguales Aquí es donde los fabricantes toman caminos distintos. El diseño del coche determina si la reparación es sencilla o una pesadilla: -BMW i3: Un ejemplo de diseño inteligente con 8 módulos independientes y accesibles. -Grupo Hyundai/Kia: Su plataforma E-GMP permite sustituir secciones con relativa facilidad, bajando costes de mano de obra. -Tesla (Model Y con celdas 4680): El polo opuesto. Al usar baterías estructurales rellenas de resina (foam) para dar rigidez, la reparación es prácticamente imposible. Si falla, se cambia el pack entero. -Toyota y Lexus: Especialistas en longevidad, sus baterías de níquel-metal hidruro son las más reparadas del mundo gracias a su sencillez. Curiosidades y el futuro del sector El debate sobre la reparación no es nuevo. Ya en 1900, el Lohner-Porsche (el primer híbrido) sufría con sus pesadas baterías de plomo. Hoy, vemos fenómenos como los "Tesla resucitados" en Europa del Este, donde mecánicos expertos y hackers consiguen reparar packs que la propia marca da por perdidos, "engañando" al software para devolver los coches a la carretera. Mirando al futuro, las baterías de estado sólido prometen más autonomía, pero plantean un reto: al ser bloques sólidos, su reparabilidad podría ser nula. Por contra, gigantes como CATL están estandarizando módulos para que los talleres independientes puedan comprar recambios originales, lo que reduciría los costes de reparación hasta un 80%. ¿Cuándo es mejor no intentar la reparación? Existen tres escenarios donde lo más sensato es desistir: -Degradación uniforme: Si todas las celdas están agotadas por igual. -Daños por inundación: La corrosión interna por agua es un "cáncer" imposible de frenar en el litio. -Coste excesivo: Si la factura supera el 60% del valor venal del coche. En conclusión, reparar una batería es hoy una opción real y viable siempre que el fallo sea localizado y el resto del conjunto esté sano. La "muerte" de la batería ya no es el fin del coche, sino una avería importante pero gestionable dentro del nuevo ecosistema de la movilidad eléctrica.

Den nye BMW i3 kan nå op til 900 kilometer på en opladning, mens Audi støver et gammelt navn af for at lave en langt billigere model. Andre mærker kæmper med batterier, som skal skiftes og software, der driller. Hvor den populære i4 er født som en benzinbil med batterier, er den nye BMW i3 tænkt som elbil fra start. Det flytter de tekniske grænser: 900 km rækkevidde og lynladning på 400 kW. Bilerne lander hos de første kunder til efteråret. »Det er en voldsomt imponerende elbil«, siger Jan Lang i Bilradio. Han peger på, at BMW endelig har gjort det rigtigt ved at bygge bilen på en dedikeret platform. Designet dropper samtidig de skæve eksperimenter og ligner nu det, folk kender: en klassisk 3-serie. Der er dog alligevel et par kritikpunkter, og dem kan du også høre i ugens podcast, hvor Christian Schacht og Jan Lang ser nærmere på et elbilmarked, der knækker midt over. Audi vil nemlig også være med i den billige ende og genopliver A2-navnet som en kompakt elbil. Målet er en prisvenlig indgang til mærket, men stadig med op mod 600 km rækkevidde. Men det er ikke alle, der har grund til at juble. Mercedes må skifte batterier på over 30.000 biler på grund af brandfare, og ejerne har fået besked på at undlade at parkere særlige steder indtil da. Samtidig driller teknikken hos Citroën, hvor softwarefejl i den nye ë-C3 i værste fald forhindrer bilen i overhovedet at køre.

From summer 2027, current combustion-engine Golf production shifts to Mexico, freeing Wolfsburg to retool for the ID Golf and an electric VW T-Roc successor.STELLANTIS CUTS ELECTRIC VAN PRICES TO DIESEL LEVELStellantis Pro One is running a European campaign until end of June that matches the purchase price of eight battery-electric vans to their diesel equivalents across compact and mid-size segments. The offer directly closes gaps such as the €7,150 difference between the Opel Combo Cargo Electric and its diesel counterpart, testing whether price parity alone will push fleets to commit.TESLA EYES 400-STALL SUPERCHARGER SITE IN YERMOTesla is planning a 400-stall V4 Supercharger station in Yermo, California on Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, which would more than double the current record of 164 stalls. The site would be built in six phases as part of a wider retail hub called Eddie World 2, with Phase 1 delivering 72 stalls breaking ground in 2026.UBER BACKS POD HOME CHARGING SUBSCRIPTION FOR DRIVERSUber has partnered with Pod in the UK to offer drivers a home EV charger subscription for £25 per month over three years, with no upfront cost, a lifetime warranty, and potential cash rewards of up to £170 a year through smart charging. The offer arrives as Uber expands its Uber Electric category to eight new UK cities including Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds.BYD SURGES IN GERMANY AND UKBYD registrations surged 1,550% year-on-year in Germany in February to 3,053 vehicles, while also rising 83% in the UK to 2,154 units and tripling in Spain to 3,003 registrations. The gains come as BYD ramps up its first European plant in Hungary, built partly to sidestep EU tariffs on Chinese-imported EVs imposed in October 2024.NIO SHIFTS EUROPE TO DISTRIBUTORSNio is overhauling its European operations by switching from direct sales to a distributor-led model in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden, while retaining direct sales only in Norway. The restructure, moving from a country-led to a function-led organisation, has already seen Nio Germany general manager David Sultzer step down.MILENCE OPENS 400 KW TRUCK CHARGING HUB IN GHENTMilence, backed by Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, and Traton, has opened a 400 kW HGV charging hub at the Volvo Trucks plant in Ghent, its fourth Belgian site, positioned on the TEN-T North Sea–Mediterranean freight corridor. A second phase will add Megawatt Charging System infrastructure, targeting charge times of 30 to 45 minutes for large HGV batteries.UK ADDED TO EU PLANS FOR EV PRODUCTION LIMITSThe European Commission's Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) will open EU manufacturing subsidies to up to 40 "trusted partner" nations including the UK and Japan, following lobbying by UK business secretary Peter Kyle after fears that Nissan's Sunderland plant could close under earlier exclusionary proposals. The IAA also targets lifting manufacturing's share of EU GDP from 14.3% to 20% by 2035, though US firms are expected to be excluded due to American public procurement restrictions.ETHIOPIA'S EV IMPORT SHARE JUMPS AFTER ICE BANAfter Ethiopia banned ICE vehicle imports in 2024 and cut EV import duties, EVs rose from under 1% to around 6% of all vehicle imports, surpassing the reported global average of roughly 4%. The government is driving electrification as energy sovereignty, aided by low electricity costs of around $0.10 per kWh and a tiered tariff structure that exempts domestically assembled EV kits from import tax entirely.ORBÁN'S BATTERY BET HITS A DOWNTURNHungary has attracted approximately €26 billion in foreign EV battery investment, mainly from South Korean and Chinese manufacturers, but battery output has fallen during a prolonged sector downturn weeks before the April 12 national election. The strategy faces additional political pressure after a news investigation into health and safety violations at Samsung SDI's factory undermined the narrative around foreign-capital-led industrialisation.QUEENSLAND PUSHES UNDER-16 BAN FOR E-MOBILITYA Queensland parliamentary inquiry has tabled 28 recommendations including a ban on under-16s riding e-bikes and personal mobility devices, prompted by 12 e-mobility deaths and over 6,300 emergency department presentations in the state last year. Key proposals also include requiring at least a learner car licence to ride, cutting footpath speed limits to 10 km/h, and reclassifying any device capable of exceeding 25 km/h as a motorcycle.

Home EV charging costs are shielded for now by the energy price cap — fixed at 24.67p per kWh for electricity until end of June — but wholesale price rises could push the cap higher from July, making both home wallbox and public charging more expensive.EUROPEAN FLEETS COULD SAVE €246BN BY 2030A new EY and Eurelectric report finds that fully electrifying Europe's corporate fleets could deliver up to €246 billion in cumulative savings and cut one billion tonnes of CO2 by 2030. However, the authors warn that cheaper running costs alone will not drive mass uptake, calling for coordinated action from manufacturers, policymakers, grid operators and finance providers to tackle high upfront costs, uncertain residual values, and charging infrastructure delays.CUPRA BORN FACELIFT BRINGS SHARP NOSE, SMALL TWEAKSCupra has facelifted the Born with a "shark nose" front end, triangular matrix LED headlights, a continuous rear light strip, and new 235 mm tyres across all five wheel options, while the aerodynamically improved 79 kWh variants now claim around 600 km (373 miles) of WLTP range. A new entry "Born Plus" trim pairs a 58 kWh battery with a 140 kW motor — figures that match Ford's Capri LFP option and strongly suggest a switch to LFP cells from the updated MEB+ platform — though Cupra has not confirmed drivetrain details and appears to be saving that announcement for a related reveal, likely the VW ID.3 facelift later in 2026.FORD EV SALES SINK 71% AFTER LIGHTNING EXITFord's US EV sales collapsed 71% in February 2026 to just 2,122 units, the steepest monthly drop in its EV history, driven by the discontinuation of the F-150 Lightning and the expiry of the federal EV tax credit. Ford's Model e division lost $4.8 billion in 2025 and is forecast to lose another $4–5 billion in 2026, with profitability not expected until 2029; the company has already booked a $19.5 billion writedown and is pivoting to a new ~$30,000 midsize electric pickup it hopes will revive the business by 2027.LUCID PATCHES GRAVITY SOFTWARE AGAINLucid Motors has pushed software update 3.4.4 to the Gravity SUV, targeting AC charging improvements and Drive Assist availability, following a January update that resolved around 95% of earlier software issues — with the car averaging a new update every 24 days since launch. Lucid has closed its online configurator for both the Air and Gravity while it prepares its 2027 model year announcement, and Air owners face a $950 hardware upgrade bill to access the newer UX 3.0 platform already running in the Gravity, due to arrive by autumn 2026.MITSUBISHI READIES LEAF-BASED EV FOR CANADAMitsubishi is preparing its first all-new model since the Eclipse Cross for Canadian dealerships in 2026, built on Nissan's CMF-EV platform and LEAF architecture, with spy shots showing a heavily camouflaged prototype that shares the LEAF's roofline, proportions, and rear hatch panel. Both models will be built side by side at Nissan's Kaminokawa plant in Japan, and Mitsubishi may receive the smaller battery pack to undercut the LEAF on entry price — a strategy that would see Nissan supply the foundations while a cheaper sibling competes for the same buyers.ALPITRONIC UNVEILS HYC400 SERIES 2 CHARGERAlpitronic has launched the HYC400 Series 2, retaining the 400 kW maximum output of its predecessor while upgrading to a 22-inch touchscreen (up from 15.6 inches), second-generation silicon carbide power stacks, and a higher continuous output current of 600 A (up from 500 A). The unit maintains 97.5% charging efficiency but standby power consumption rises significantly from 43 W to under 100 W, and cable options narrow to a single 5-metre length; Alpitronic will sell both generations simultaneously to suit different site requirements.APTERA SHOWS FIRST VALIDATION-LINE VEHICLE PHOTOAptera Motors has published the first photo of a vehicle off its validation assembly line, marking a milestone for its three-wheeled, solar-assisted EV that claims 400 miles of range from a 44 kWh battery and up to 40 miles of daily solar charging, classified as a motorcycle to bypass certain safety regulations. The launch edition price has risen to $40,000 — a $9,300 increase from prior estimates — though a $28,000 model is planned for the future, and with nearly 50,000 pre-orders and a stated daily capacity of 80–100 vehicles, Aptera claims it could fulfil all orders within 500 days of full production, though the end-of-year delivery timeline remains uncertain.GEELY TARGETS DEFENDER WITH GALAXY BATTLESHIPGeely plans to launch the Galaxy Battleship in the UK in 2028, a blocky hybrid 4x4 aimed squarely at the Land Rover Defender and Toyota Land Cruiser, with a production design expected to stay 90–95% true to the Galaxy Cruiser concept shown at the 2025 Shanghai Motor Show. Built on the GEA Evo platform with steer- and brake-by-wire, it may use an AI-driven plug-in hybrid system with a stated output of around 858 bhp, and Geely is promising an interior that surpasses the Defender's for luxury — a bold claim for the Chinese brand's first foray into the 4x4 segment.EU UNVEILS LOCAL-CONTENT RULES FOR CLEAN TECHThe European Commission has unveiled the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), tying over €2 trillion in public procurement and subsidies to low-carbon and "Made-in-EU" conditions across sectors including EVs, steel, cement, and wind turbines, with the goal of raising manufacturing's share of EU economic output from 14% to 20% by 2035. China is excluded from the initial trusted-partner list — which includes the UK, Canada, and the US — and foreign investments above €100 million from countries controlling 40%+ of global production would face strict conditions including capped 49% foreign ownership and mandatory technology transfer; BMW and Mercedes oppose the Act over fears of higher costs, while Renault backs it and the text must still clear the European Parliament before becoming law.

It will be the second Neue Klasse model after the iX3, aimed squarely at the Tesla Model 3 and future premium rivals from Mercedes, Audi, Xpeng and BYD's Denza, with a full line-up planned including an electric M3. TESLA UK DROPS 37% AS UK EV SALES RISE Tesla's UK registrations fell 37% year-on-year in February to 2,422 units, even as the overall market hit its strongest February since 2004 and BEVs grew to 24.2% of new registrations, with Chinese brands like BYD surging 83%. Tesla has argued that monthly registration data is misleading versus orders and quarterly shipments, but critics note all brands face similar timing issues, and for now the headline picture is a growing UK EV market in which Tesla's share is shrinking. EVGO ENDS 2025 WITH 5,100 FAST-CHARGING STALLS EVgo closed 2025 with 5,100 DC fast-charging stalls in operation, up 25% year-on-year after a record Q4 net gain of about 510 stalls, including 320 company-owned units and 190 eXtend-branded stalls at partner sites. The network is getting both denser and faster, with nearly a third of stations now offering six or more stalls and 62% of all stalls equipped with 350kW hardware, up sharply from 50% in late 2024. LUCID FEBRUARY US SALES JUMP ON GRAVITY RAMP Lucid's US sales jumped to 1,500 vehicles in February, almost double January, driven by a sharp ramp in Gravity SUV deliveries alongside 900 Air sedans. With Gravity now starting at $79,900 (via the Touring trim) and supported by a $7,500 lease credit plus targeted trade-in offers for Tesla, Rivian and Polestar owners, Lucid is boosting US momentum even as European registrations remain minimal. VW DEALERS SUE OVER SCOUT DIRECT SALES Two Volkswagen dealerships in Connecticut and New York have launched a class-action lawsuit against Scout Motors and Volkswagen, arguing that Scout's Tesla-style direct-to-consumer sales model violates existing VW franchise agreements and deprives dealers of a lucrative new brand. Scout and CEO Scott Keogh counter that Scout is a separate entity from Volkswagen Group of America and therefore not bound to use VW's franchised dealer network. VOLKSWAGEN GROUP HITS FOUR MILLION BEV DELIVERIES Volkswagen Group has delivered its four-millionth battery-electric vehicle, accelerating from nearly a decade to reach the first million to adding the fourth million in just one year, powered largely by its MEB platform and around 30 all-electric passenger models. Most BEVs are built and sold in Europe, where compact SUVs and crossovers such as the VW ID.4/ID.5 dominate, while China and the US account for smaller but growing shares of volume and production. EGBATT LAUNCHES NOVA 60 DUAL BUFFERED CHARGER EGbatt's new Nova 60 Dual combines a 60kW DC fast charger with a 60kWh LiFePO₄ battery in a single outdoor unit, allowing sites to deliver full fast-charging power without expensive grid upgrades by relying on buffered energy. Optional 20kW DC solar input lets operators integrate rooftop PV directly, helping cut operating costs and increase the share of renewable energy used for charging. LOTUS ADDS RANGE-EXTENDER ELETRE X FOR CHINA Lotus has responded to softer demand for high-end pure EVs by launching the Eletre X plug-in range-extender SUV in China, pairing a 70kWh battery and 900V fast-charging system with a 2.0-litre turbo engine that mostly drives a generator but can also clutch to the front wheels for motorway efficiency. Delivering 952bhp, 0–62mph in 3.3 seconds and around 150 miles of electric-only range in a 2.6-tonne package, the Eletre X shares its new Geely-platform underpinnings with the Zeekr 9X and is slated to reach the UK no earlier than 2027.

The sharpest cuts came after the federal EV tax credit expired, with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 leading the slide at a 13.8% drop of over $7,000, followed by the Chevrolet Equinox EV at nearly $4,000 off — six models in total posted drops above 5%. FORD TEASES EUROPE CAR RETURN AFTER FIESTA, FOCUSFord CEO Jim Farley used the Q4 2025 earnings call to signal "exciting plans" for passenger cars in Europe, framing the comeback as a selective, profitable return to specific segments rather than a volume land grab. Two new EVs built on Renault's Ampere platform are expected in the subcompact segment from the Ford–Renault partnership, with new passenger cars set to start arriving in 2027 under a new dedicated Europe passenger-car leadership role. UBER EXPANDS EV RIDES ACROSS EIGHT UK CITIESUber has rolled out its EV ride option to eight more UK cities — Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Belfast and Merseyside — at standard UberX prices, after falling short of its pledge to run an all-electric London fleet by end-2025. Only 40% of London miles are now covered by EVs, with UK General Manager Andrew Brem citing charging access as "the biggest barrier," prompting Uber to announce driver support measures including discounted home and public charging in partnership with Pod Point. BMW TALKS PRICE FLOOR TO DODGE EU MINI DUTYBMW and the European Commission are in advanced talks to replace the EU's 20.7% countervailing duty on China-made Mini BEVs with a minimum import price agreement, according to Handelsblatt — covering the Mini Cooper Electric and Mini Aceman, both built at BMW's Zhangjiagang joint venture with Great Wall Motor. The approach would mirror the "price undertaking" the EU accepted from Volkswagen Anhui in early February, which freed the Cupra Tavascan from countervailing duties in exchange for a confidential price floor, volume cap and EU investment commitments. EU CITY BUS SALES HIT 60% ZERO-EMISSIONSix in ten new city buses registered across the EU in 2025 were zero-emission — 56% battery-electric and 4% fuel cell — a dramatic jump from just 12% when the Clean Vehicles Directive was adopted in 2019. Five member states hit 100% zero-emission city bus sales in 2025 (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia), and Transport & Environment says a fully zero-emission EU city bus market is achievable as early as 2028.MG2 SET FOR 2027 UK LAUNCH AT £20,000MG will enter the electric supermini segment in 2027 with the all-new MG2, targeting a starting price of around £20,000 (~$25,200), to take on rivals including the Renault 5, Citroën e-C3, Fiat Grande Panda and the incoming VW ID. Polo. The car will use the newer E3 architecture from the MG4 Urban, run front-wheel drive with a torsion-beam rear axle for cost efficiency, and feature a 12.8-inch touchscreen with physical climate controls — a reveal is expected in the second half of 2026. MG CONFIRMS MGS9 PHEV SEVEN-SEATER FOR UKMG will launch the MGS9 plug-in hybrid SUV in the UK later in 2026 as its new flagship, offering three full adult-sized rows and targeting rivals such as the Peugeot 5008, Kia Sorento and Skoda Kodiaq at a value-led price point. The model already holds a five-star Euro NCAP rating and could reach UK showrooms as early as summer 2026, extending MG's line-up to 11 models. AUSTRALIA NVES DATA SHOWS HYBRIDS DO THE HEAVY LIFTAustralia's National Vehicle Emissions Standard published its first half-year performance data (July–December 2025), showing EVs made up roughly 12% of new vehicles supplied, with about two-thirds of manufacturers — including BYD and Polestar — meeting their fleet-wide emissions targets. Petrol- and hybrid-focused brands such as Mazda and Hyundai fell short and face penalties if they don't improve, while the data reveals that near-term emissions gains are leaning more on efficient hybrids than on full EVs. LECTRON ADAPTERS WIN UL 2252 SAFETY CERTIFICATIONLectron has earned UL 2252 safety certification across its full range of EV charging adapters — covering J3400, CCS1 and J1772 in both AC and DC variants — with its two DC adapters handling up to 500 amps at 1,000 volts for peak power of 500 kW, and built-in thermal sensors that trigger derating if heat rises during fast charging. The certification comes as the North American charging landscape remains split between NACS and CCS1 on DC networks and J1772 on AC infrastructure, making a certified bridging adapter an increasingly essential tool for EV drivers navigating the transition.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1237: Today we're talking about BMW and Mercedes battling it out at CES with next-gen AI, a surprising sedan surge in the used market, and how ChatGPT is causing headaches for doctors and lawyers alike.Show Notes with links: https://lnkd.in/dNJMNGBkTwo German giants are trading blows in Las Vegas. CES has become a high-tech battleground for BMW and Mercedes-Benz as they push the envelope on AI and digital experiences in their latest vehicles.BMW is the first automaker to integrate Amazon's Alexa+ AI into its Intelligent Personal Assistant.Launching with the BMW iX3 in 2026, the assistant offers conversational voice interactions and can handle multiple queries at once.Users can link Amazon accounts to access streaming and news directly through the assistant.The AI is central to BMW's Neue Klasse EV platform, with CES once again serving as its innovation stage.“The vehicle becomes an intelligent companion for its users,” said Stephan Durach, SVP at BMW Group.https://lnkd.in/eb_v_mY6Are sedans back in style? Pickup trucks still rule the used car market, but a surprising sedan surge and shifting EV dynamics brought a few fresh twists to 2025's top sellers.The Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, and Ram 1500 held onto the top three spots.Chevy Malibu shot up from No. 29 to No. 8, likely due to rental fleet sell-offs after GM ended production.Toyota Corolla cracked the top 10 at No. 9; Equinox and Camry stayed strong.Tesla continues to dominate used EV sales, with Model 3 and Model Y leading.VW ID.4 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 made big jumps, while the Chevy Bolt slid to No. 7.“The rankings show minimal variations from 2024, though the dominance of full-size trucks is shrinking,” said iSeeCars analyst Karl Brauer.https://lnkd.in/eWeNSd7aChatGPT Is the New WebMD, And It's Driving Experts Crazy. Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming the go-to for legal and medical questions, giving everyone a second opinion—but not always the right one.AI is now widely used for symptom checking, legal strategy, and even therapy prep.One in three Americans consult AI weekly for health advice; 57% use it or would for legal issues.Professionals report clients showing up with AI-generated legal gameplans or diagnoses—often filled with emojis.AI's authority and 24/7 availability make it feel more trustworthy and convenient than waiting weeks for an expert.“We have to dispel the information clients were able to obtain vs what is actually going on and kind of work backwards,” said New Jersey attorney Jamie Berger.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Prices keep climbing, patience keeps thinning, and the smartest car on the lot might be the one that's two or three years old. We sit down to explore why a crowd-pleaser like the VW ID. Buzz is slipping from the U.S. launch calendar, how an $80,000 price tag changes the conversation, and where EVs still struggle to deliver everyday convenience for people without home charging. From the Detroit Auto Show preview to the North American Car, Utility, and Truck of the Year buzz, we connect the headlines to real buyer decisions.Our take on affordability gets practical fast: a $5,000 difference can flip a purchase when the competing vehicle offers more features or utility. We break down why late-model off-lease cars remain the sweet spot, even as the market feels the aftershocks of COVID-era production cuts. Then we zoom out to tariffs and USMCA dynamics shaping what gets built in the U.S., and why the playing field among American, European, and Asian brands feels more level than ever. With fewer true lemons on sale, lifetime cost and ownership experience become the real story.Reliability and complexity take center stage as we examine turbo longevity, hybrid durability, and the sticker shock of modern repairs, like a $6,000 turbo swap. On the EV front, the pain points are clear: battery longevity anxiety, charging standards and adapters, and the simple truth that the five-minute gas stop still fits many lives better than public chargers. We round things out with a quick, candid guide to RV laws most people ignore, from weight limits and seatbelts to boondocking and propane safety.If you care about getting the best value for your money, understanding how policy nudges production, and choosing tech that won't bite you later, you'll find this conversation timely and useful.

Anyone who owns or has driven a new car lately might have come across the annoying beeps and bongs that happen when you get near the speed limit or look too long at the radio, or perhaps get close to the edge of your lane on the road. These safety features are known as ADAS - but they are often annoying. We catch up with Shawn Ticehurst from NRMA Insurance's Research Lab about what they are doing to research the feelings of drivers toward these systems. Plus, we've driven the all-electric Kombi - the VW ID.Buzz, and Ben joins us to talk about his classic wagon as he considers an electric wagon. Get in touch, text or WhatsApp to 0477 657 657.
This week on the show, you're going to ride along with me from the incredibly comfortable and stylish VW ID.Buzz, which served as the mobile podcast studio at CEDIA Expo / CIX this September in Denver, Colorado. This is part two of The Ride Along Series recorded live at CEDIA Expo/ CIX. CEDIA (Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association) is the global trade association for home technology professionals, specializing in smart home, automation, audio-visual, networking, and integrated systems. Its mission is to advance the home technology industry through education, certification, advocacy, and networking.

Designing Sound: Caitlin Stewart on Leon Speakers' Mission to Lead by Design Caitlin Stewart of Leon Speakers joins Convo By Design to talk about design-first thinking in an audio-driven world. From Ann Arbor to the global design stage, Leon Speakers has carved out a unique identity—not as a technology company, but as a design company that happens to make exceptional audio and concealment solutions. Caitlin shares how Leon engages the architecture and design community, cultivates relevance in a shifting industry, and builds partnerships that challenge conventions of form, function, and beauty. Background & Role: Caitlin's work as Director of Sales for residential at Leon Speakers, leading account managers and shaping residential market growth. Leon's Identity: Founded in 1997, Leon is entering its 30th year as a design-first company—blending sound, aesthetics, and concealment with creativity. Design Integration: How Leon's “Lead by Design, Leave Nothing Unfinished” philosophy drives the balance of form and function. Relevance in the Industry: Shifting influence from general contractors to architects and designers, and Leon's effort to stay essential in conversations that shape environments. Inspiration & Missed Opportunities: Why designers need exposure to products at shows like CEDIA and ICFF, and the challenges of communicating AV in relevant, non-technical language. Partnership with A&D Community: Meeting designers where they are, co-designing products, and listening to their needs around fixtures, finishes, and materiality. Industry Challenges: Designers often photoshop out tech in portfolio images—highlighting the need for intentional, beautiful integration of AV. Educational Outreach: Designer visits to Leon's Ann Arbor factory, engaging directly with materiality and finishes to bridge the language gap. Innovation at Leon: Hand-woven acoustic treatments, creative concealment solutions, evolving product frames for video walls, and form-function collaboration. Partnership Opportunities: Caitlin's advice to designers—start casual, share ideas, reach out. Leon thrives on nimble, creative collaborations that spark innovation.

En este podcast te contamos más cosas sobre el nuevo servicio que hemos montado para todos los seguidores de Garaje Hermético. Ahora tienes en nuestra/vuestra página web “Garajehermetico.com” una selección de coches de ocasión a buen precio y con pocos kilómetros que te ofrecemos en colaboración con Ruteo. La primera selección que te ofrecemos son coches para viajar, de bajo consumo y con el máximo confort Si es lo que estás buscando, echa un vistazo a esos coches en el siguiente enlace: https://www.garajehermetico.com/ruteo/ ¿Alguna vez has tenido la sensación de estar viviendo una invasión de clones? Aparcas tu SUV compacto en el centro comercial y, al volver, te cuesta distinguirlo de los otros cinco que han aparcado a su lado. ¿Es una crisis de ideas global? ¿Se han quedado los diseñadores sin imaginación? La realidad es más compleja. No es falta de creatividad, es un exceso de restricciones. Los diseñadores tienen hoy menos libertad que nunca, y su trabajo está encorsetado por cinco "tiranos" que dictan la forma de un coche antes de que el lápiz toque el papel. Las 5 Razones de la Uniformidad: 1. La Tiranía de la Aerodinámica El enemigo número uno de un coche moderno, y especialmente de un SUV (que es alto y chato por definición), es el viento. En un coche eléctrico, un mal coeficiente aerodinámico (Cx) puede costar decenas de kilómetros de autonomía. En uno de combustión, cada gramo de CO2 es vital para evitar las multas multimillonarias de la Unión Europea. La forma más barata y eficaz de bajar el consumo es mejorar el Cx. 2. La Jaula de Oro de la Seguridad y las Regulaciones El coche deportivo de tus sueños, bajo, afilado y con morro en cuña, sería hoy prácticamente ilegal. Las normativas de seguridad, especialmente las de Euro NCAP, lo han cambiado todo. Para proteger a los peatones en caso de atropello, el capó debe ser alto y relativamente "blando", dejando un espacio de deformación vital entre la chapa y las partes duras del motor. Adiós a los morros bajos. 3. El "Efecto IKEA" de las Plataformas Modulares Las plataformas modulares (como la MQB de Volkswagen, la EMP2 de Stellantis o la TNGA de Toyota) son un milagro de la ingeniería de costes, pero un lastre para la diferenciación. El ahorro ya no solo está en compartir motores o suspensiones, sino en los "Hard Points" o puntos fijos del diseño. 4. El Miedo a ser Diferente: Marketing y "Design Clinics" Antaño, un diseñador jefe tenía poder para arriesgar y escandalizar al mundo, creando coches que hoy se consideran obras de arte. Hoy, eso es imposible por culpa de los "focus group" o "clínicas de diseño". Antes de aprobar un coche, las marcas meten los prototipos en una sala y preguntan a clientes potenciales qué opinan. 5. El Diseño por Ordenador (CAD) Irónicamente, la herramienta que debería dar libertad infinita, el Diseño Asistido por Ordenador, es el último clavo en el ataúd de la originalidad. Hoy se usa el "diseño generativo". Los ingenieros introducen en el software todos los parámetros y restricciones (Regla 1: Plataforma MQB. Regla 2: Seguridad peatones. Regla 3: Cx de 0.28. Regla 4: Espacio para 5) y el programa "sugiere" las formas óptimas. Si los ingenieros de Ford, Renault y Volkswagen usan los mismos programas y las mismas reglas físicas, ¿sorprende que el resultado final sea casi el mismo? La Prueba: La Invasión de los Clones Esta uniformidad forzada se ve en todos los segmentos: -La Plaga del "SUV Coupé": Lo que empezó como el sacrilegio del BMW X6 ahora es un estándar. Del Audi Q5 Sportback al Renault Arkana, todos copian la misma silueta de techo descendente que mata el espacio trasero y la visibilidad. -El Segmento C: Es el ojo del huracán. Coches como el Qashqai, Tucson, Austral o 3008 compiten por el mismo cliente "para todo". El resultado es un diseño por consenso: cintura alta, frontal chato y los inevitables pasos de rueda de plástico negro. -Los Eléctricos: Aquí la aerodinámica lo es todo. Para maximizar la autonomía, todos acaban siendo un "Optimus Blob": un diseño redondeado, sin aristas, con parrillas tapadas y manillas enrasadas. El Tesla Model Y, el VW ID.4 o el Skoda Enyaq son esclavos del túnel de viento. Conclusión ¿Son todos los SUV iguales? En gran medida, sí, porque no les queda más remedio. Están atrapados en un corsé definido por la Aerodinámica que los redondea, la Seguridad que los hace chatos, la Plataforma Modular que fija sus proporciones y el Marketing que penaliza el riesgo. Los SUV modernos son, quizás, el resultado de la optimización total; el coche perfecto para las hojas de cálculo, pero, a menudo, el más aburrido para el corazón.
