Mercedes-Benz EQB is one of the most affordable SUVs to lease in the US,
01:55
even though it has a starting price of $53,000.
01:59
Dealers are offering lease payments of around $350 on that vehicle,
02:04
but some offering under $100 for old EV stock that is not the new model here.
02:09
In fact, there's one.
02:10
Volkswagen dealer in Boulder, Colorado offering ID 4s at $39 per month.
02:15
EVs now cost less to lease than gas cars on average.
02:19
Audi beginning their new era in China with their new vehicle, the Audi Audi.
02:23
No four rings on the front, but simply capitalized AUDI.
02:27
Their first vehicle is now on sale, about 32,000 US equivalent,
02:30
but it's very high-tech.
02:32
It's got LiDAR, big range, 800-volt architecture.
02:35
Oh, and China only.
02:36
Italy is introducing major EV subs of the 600 million euros of post-COVID

that scrap an old combustion car up to 20,000 euros
02:47
off up to 30% of a new electric vehicle or commercial electric vehicle.
02:52
Volkswagen is planning its major EV expansion with the ID 2 and 2X.
02:57
Are they going to be called the Polo or the ID Polo?
02:59
I'd hope so. Just call it the Polo Electric or something.
03:02
I don't know. The ID stuff was a good experiment,
03:04
but I mean, you've got the name Polo. Use it.
03:06
And so the ID 1 set for maybe a 2027 release.
03:11
Now, we should find out more at the IAA show in Munich.
03:16
Chinese firms are investing more overseas than inside China

03:37
with their new GLC. That'll be a highlight.
03:39

04:51
A recent study by DS Automobiles showed that 75% of electric vehicle drivers
04:56
say they now feel more relaxed when driving thanks to the move to EV
05:00
compared to when they used to drive combustion vehicles.
05:04
40% said driving can be stressful, things like tailgating,
05:08
poor lane discipline, roadworks and traffic jams causing the issues.
05:11
But some people saying the move to EV
05:13
has helped them feel less stressed behind the wheel.
05:15
And I don't know about you, but I do actually personally,
05:17
I love driving even a little bit slower in an EV,
05:20
knowing that I could go quicker if I wanted to.
05:23
But it's just a more relaxed way of getting about
05:25
and you still arrive at the same time, right?
05:27
And finally, electric vehicle takeoff and landing
05:31
