00:00
I didn't even realize I was wasting $415 a month
00:03
until I downloaded Rocky Money.
00:05
I thought I had my finances under control
00:07
until the app laid out all my spending and categorized it for me.
00:11
Takeout, shopping, and unused subscriptions
00:13
were quietly draining my account.
00:15
And as a result, my savings took a backseat.
00:18
But Rocky Money doesn't just tell you
00:20
what you're wasting money on.
00:21
It takes action to save you money.
00:23
First, the app looks at your income and monthly expenses
00:26
and calculates how much you can safely spend each day
00:29
to stay on your budget.
00:30
Rocky Money also finds and cancels
00:32
unwanted subscriptions for you
00:34
and even negotiates better rates on your bills
00:36
so you have more money in your pocket.
00:38
On average, Rocky Money members
00:40
can save up to $740 a year
00:42
when using all the app's premium features.
00:44
Users love the app with over 186,000 five-star ratings.
00:48
It's time to simplify your finances

It's EV News briefly for Wednesday, September 10th,
03:02
everything EV in less than five minutes.
03:04
If I've got time for the full podcast,
03:06
I'll get you updated as quickly as I possibly can.
03:08
Polestar's debuting the Polestar 5
03:10
and I double A in Munich.
03:12
This is 100,000 euro plus vehicle,
03:15
112 kilowatt hour gross battery,
03:17
three seconds, 0 to 60.
03:19
Properly high performance.
03:22
This Polestar's new flagship.
03:24
No risk green again.
03:25
Those high-def cameras, honestly, they're fine
03:27
on the, was it the Polestar 4?
03:29
They're on Leap Motors B05.
03:32
The electric hatchback going right up against vehicles
03:35
like the ID3, the new electric Golf that'll come.
03:38
What's it gonna cost though?
03:39
Well, we don't know, but the latest car,
03:42
the B5 from the Leap Motors Stellantis partnership
03:47
Skoda have shown off their new estate concept.
03:50
It's not coming for a couple of years.
03:52
I owned a Skoda Octavia back in the day
03:54
before I got into EVs.
03:55
I love estate cars.
03:57
I'd rather one than over an SUV.
03:59
This is 800 volts SSP platform from Volkswagen Group
04:04
using the Skoda styling.
04:06
They call it modern, solid,
04:07
but with all of the estate or wagon benefits.
04:11
And this thing looks fantastic as well.
04:13
Rimats is debuting their new solid state battery.
04:16
That's a really big deal.
04:17
And their new E-Axel,
04:19
they got orders in the book from 2026 on these.
04:22
Rimats technology, obviously very well known
04:24
for high tech and high performance hypercars.
04:28
But there's so much more to Rimats these days.
04:30
Lucid, a couple of stories from them.
04:31
The gravity made its European debut at the IAA show
04:35
starting at 117,000 euros,
04:37
but the gravity is obviously three row
04:39
and a fantastic vehicle.
04:40
And also Lucid saying they will expand
04:42
into eight more markets in Europe.
04:46
Earlier in the year,
04:47
they talked about being in the big five.
04:49
So UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain,
04:52
plus more, the likes of Switzerland,
04:54
Norway, Belgium, Denmark as well.
04:57
CATL is going to bring two new battery packs to European customers.
05:01
A new battery pack rated for 12 years.
05:04
And a lithium ion phosphate pack,
05:07
they didn't give a C-rate for it that I could find at least,
05:09
but they gave a miles per minute number.
05:11
But that doesn't depend on the car that it's in.
05:14
Anyway, they said 300 miles in 10 minutes.
05:17
Now 300 miles of range added in 10 minutes of charging.
05:20
Both batteries are going to be made at their new Hungarian plant,
05:23
the Debrecen facility the CATL is building.
05:26
Tesla showed off their new Mega Pack 3,
05:29
which takes the storage inside Mega Pack
05:31
from about four megawatt hours to five megawatt hours.
05:34
Also Mega Block is new.
05:36
Mega Block is something that they make in the factory.
05:39
They put four Mega Packs together
05:41
and add all the things like transformers and switch gear
05:45
all inside the factory, obviously under the roof in a condition
05:50
that's easier to work than on-site,
05:52
and then ship the whole thing that they say can add
05:56
in just 20 business days
05:59
a thousand megawatt hours of storage deployed to a site.
06:04
Tesla's US market is growing, had a really good August,
06:08
but as a share of the market has fallen below 40%.
06:11
For the first time, well, it tips the Model 3, really.
06:14
For the first time in eight years,
06:16
Tesla's market share in the United States is now below 40%.
06:20
It's still a big chunk of the market,
06:23
and it's not because no one's buying Tesla's.
06:24
They had a good month recently with the tax credits going.
06:27
It's because of the rising competition there,
06:30
much like the European market has been for a while now.
06:33
Mercedes-Benz is going to roll out
06:35
the new Alpetronic HYC 1000s
06:37
that's obviously 1,000 kilowatts on a piece of hardware.
06:40
Typically, you'd get maybe two or four cables
06:43
on one of these Alpetronics.
06:44
The Mercedes-Benz say each individual vehicle
06:48
could take up to 600 kilowatts of power.
06:51
There's a whole range of really fast charging EVs coming,
06:54
both from the Germans and the Chinese.
06:56
Volkswagen Group CEO says one size no longer fits all.
06:59
You can't just have a global vehicle,
07:00
China, Europe, and the US all going EV
07:02
at their own speed.
07:03
And the Cybertruck wireless charging pad
07:06
has been popped in the skip.
07:08
They said that the truck sits too high
07:10
and it's too inefficient for wireless charging.
07:15
