I didn't realize I was wasting $415 a month until I downloaded RocketMoney.
00:05
I thought I had my finances under control until the app laid out all my spending and categorized it for me.
00:10

It's EV News briefly for the weekend, Sunday, September 14th.
03:02
Everything EV in less than five minutes.
03:03
You haven't got time for the full podcast coming later on today.
03:06
That's okay. Let's get you up to speed.
03:08
Finnish company Ken Power introduced massive charging stations
03:11
for electric trucks in Denmark and Sweden.
03:15
They are new 1.2 megawatt chargers, both MCS and CCS supported.
03:20
Rivian's VW deal will get the attention of the world, says
03:24
RJ Scarridge, Rivian's CEO, telling the Morgan Stanley Conference
03:28
that their new network architecture, ECU layout,
03:31
and electrical systems for the ID1 and their entry-level VWs,
03:36
all the way up to Porsche and Audi,
03:38
will get the attention of everyone globally.
03:41
Honda just launched the N1E.
03:44
It's first all-electric K-Car for passengers.
03:48
Goes on sale in Japan this week, starting at 2.7 million yen.
03:52
That's about $18,000, well below the average price of new cars
03:57
in the US, 30 kilowatt-hour battery in that.
04:00
And of course, K-Cars are quite restricted on things like dimensions,
04:03
which make them fit into that category of vehicle.
04:05
Francois Provost is Renault's new CEO,
04:08
has been talking this week about how lawmakers in Europe
04:11
should help cut the cost of electric cars,
04:13
rather than boosting EV sales.
04:17
He said the following their recovery plan,
04:19
bringing back cars like the Renault 4 and Renault 5,
04:21
they've got a strong model lineup, but they need more help at Renault.
04:25
This week, Tesla quietly stopped selling
04:27
one of the versions of the Cybertruck,
04:29
the long-range rear wheel drive.
04:31
It was the cheapest version of the lineup,
04:33
but it was so stripped back.
04:35
Gave up the interior and leather, kind of their version of that.
04:40
Most of the speakers, the touchscreens in the rear,
04:43
the powered bed cover, the utility outlets,
04:46
it was so stripped down, well, nobody bought it.
04:48
And so they've taken that off sale.
04:50
Good news from Tesla.
04:51
The upgraded Model Y performance just started customer deliveries.
04:55
This week, after production kicked off at Giga Berlin.
05:00
BYD has pushed back on the claims of the Stellantis CEO,
05:04
Anthony Filossa, saying that LeapMotor outsold BYD in Germany.
05:09
A rare bit of friendly fire,
05:12
I think between the car companies,
05:14
because BYD were very quick to push back on that
05:18
and offer some correct figures and say,
05:21
These are inaccurate claims.
05:23
Don't see that too often.
05:24
The Chinese are trying to play pretty nicely over here in Europe,
05:27
but they were quick to jump on that one.
05:29
European car makers sold more electric cars
05:33
in the first seven months of 2025
05:35
than the same time last year, up 38%.
05:38
And that puts most manufacturers actually
05:40
on course to meet the emissions targets.
05:44
Which go to 2027 already.
05:47
Many of the car companies and the CEOs will talk very loudly
05:50
about, oh, we're under real pressure
05:52
and we need lots of help to do this.
05:54
BMW, Renault, Stellantis, Volkswagen all on track to comply
05:58
with the 2027 fleet emissions targets.
06:01
They are doing so well,
06:02
but they'll always want a bit more, won't they?
06:04
Zooks just launched a public robot taxi ride in Las Vegas.
06:09
These are all electric vehicles.
06:10
Little pods with no pedals or steering wheel
06:13
for seats for people.
06:15
But they run all day long.
06:16
They're like the Duracell bunny of EVs.
06:18
They've got a 133 kilowatt hour battery.
06:21
Huge for a robot taxi.
06:23
They can even do 75 miles an hour.
06:25
But these little pods are capped
06:26
at a much lower speed and fully autonomous in Vegas.
06:31
And a new piece of development coming out of Exxon Mobile.
06:36
I'm always careful with oil companies
06:38
that it's not greenwashing and stuff like that.
06:40
They say that they have now successfully developed
06:42
a synthetic graphite material
06:44
that'll make EV battery lasts 30% longer.
06:48
He said that the innovation is now with several automakers
06:52
working on that technology.
06:54
That looks like the real deal there.
06:55
And finally yet another data point.
06:58
Another report saying plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
07:02
must be charged in order for them to be
07:04
not even dirtier than combustion cars
07:07
and that people think they're cleaner than they are.
07:09
And that's briefly.
07:14
The number one resolution for people last year
07:17
was to save more money.
07:18
But nearly half gave up by February.
07:20
Don't let that be you.
07:22
