Five years ago, I was paying $65 a month for my subscriptions.
00:03
Today, those same subscriptions cost $111, and I don't even use half of them anymore.
00:09
That's why now I use RocketMoney to manage my subscriptions for me.
00:12
The app gives you a list of all of your subscriptions and reminds you of upcoming payments,
00:17
so you're not hit with any surprise charges.
00:19
On top of that, it also sends you alerts when subscription prices go up,
00:23
so you always know the price you're paying.
00:25
If you decide you no longer want a subscription, you can cancel it right from the app.
00:29
No customer service needed.
00:31
And the best part is, RocketMoney even reaches out
00:34
and tries to get you refunded for some of the money you lost.
00:37
On average, people that cancel their subscriptions with RocketMoney save $378 a year.
00:43
And overall, RocketMoney has saved its members $880 million in canceled subscriptions.

It's EV News Briefly.
03:01
For Tuesday, September 9th, everything EV in less than five minutes.
03:04
If you haven't got time for the full podcast
03:06
that a Patreon supporters get the shows, add free.
03:08
And first, and be part of the EV News Daily community,
03:12
click on a link to find out more loads of news this week
03:15
because of the IAAA show in Munich.
03:17
First of all, a car launch from Mercedes-Benz, the new GLC.
03:21
This is going to be, hopefully, a big seller for them
03:24
in terms of being a mid-size SUV.
03:26
But five inches longer, that's 13 centimeters
03:29
than the combustion GLC.
03:31
And a big wheelbase extension as well
03:33
to put a bigger battery in and more room inside.
03:36
There'll be a dual motor version, single motor version as well
03:39
up against vehicles like the BMW iX3 and Audi Q6 e-tron.
03:44
94 kilowatt-hour battery pack, 800-volt architecture,
03:48
peak speeds of 330.
03:50
Aiming for 435 miles WLTP on this EPA, maybe 360 to 380, possibly.
03:58
A big hyperscreen inside.
04:00
And this will be somewhere between a smaller EQC replacement
04:05
when it arrives and the EQE SUV at a higher end.
04:10
Next, Volkswagen unveiling their Cross ID Cross concept.
04:15
It looks pretty production ready to me, though,
04:18
showing off its new direction for electric vehicles.
04:21
MEB Plus platform being used for this.
04:23
Faster charging at 200 kilowatts, fixing a load of the problems
04:27
like all the haptic stuff inside has gone.
04:29
Buttons on the steering wheel.
04:30
Good, VW had one of the best steering wheels
04:34
before they went with the silly, shiny haptic buttons.
04:37
Going back to that.
04:38
It's a small vehicle, the Cross concept,
04:40
looking pretty ready, though.
04:42
And there are vehicles announced from VW Group
04:44
this week at IAA, like the Skoda Epic.
04:47
That's their small city car on the MEB entry platform.
04:51
That's the Skoda Epic.
04:52
So maybe 260 miles on these vehicles, low 20s, they'll cost.
04:57
The Coupre Reval also unfailed.
04:59
It's going to be Coupre styling, but a version of that car.
05:03
So a bit more aggressive, sculpted, big copper accents.
05:07
And there's also the VW Polo as well,
05:11
which we've seen in camouflage, that trio of small vehicles.
05:14
All essentially the same,
05:16
depending on what you want from the brand that you buy.
05:18
German automakers are there in force.
05:20
But some of the Chinese, by the way,
05:22
Leap Motor, Cherry, Polestar, X-Pung, BYD,
05:24
and more all at the show this week.
05:27
Oh, Mercedes is also talking about a third generation Mercedes Benz GLE
05:33
An entry level crossover, sorry, GLA.
05:36
I mean, entry level crossover to get into the brand.
05:41
And they also talked about that recent record run
05:44
they did with their AMG GT XX,
05:47
you know, the one that broke tons of records last week or so,
05:50
where it drove the furthest in 24 hours of any EV.
05:54
They did it by very fast charging stops.
05:57
And they have now revealed they work with Alpetronic,
06:00
And they were charging that AMG GT XX
06:03
at a sustained rate of 1,041 kilowatts.
06:07
In your face, Chinese EVs.
06:09
In your face, said Mercedes Benz.
06:12
They didn't, but you know.
06:14
Two and a half minutes of sustained charging
06:18
around 17 kilowatt hours per minute.
06:21
17 kilowatt hours a minute.
06:24
That's just the end of combustion, right?
06:27
Mercedes Benz say this technology will end up in their road cars.
06:34
They also launched their bi-directional charging service,
06:36
which is difficult because you've got to work with the
06:38
charger on the wall of your house and your grid operator.
06:41
But they say the hardware comes from the Mobility House
06:44
and they'll be working with the grid operators in Germany,
06:47
France and the UK to do proper vehicle to grid next year.
06:50
There's been so many promises around this, though.
06:52
Let's hope they do.
06:53
Major ID for redesign confirmed.
06:56
Almost going to be a whole brand new vehicle.
06:58
Might even be called the Tiguan Electric.
07:01
And Rivian adding smart home charging to their vehicles.
07:05
The app will look at your usage when it's cheapest to charge,
07:08
working with weave grid there.
07:10
With Rivian's, that's briefly.
07:41
So you can spend with confidence.
07:43
No guesswork needed.
07:44
Get alerts before bills hit, track budgets,
07:47
