Available in things like my Polestar, but now, uh, you know, it doesn't really matter to Tesla
drivers because you already have that in your car anyway, and in the app. But for non-Tesla owners
who want to use Google Maps, order that now date, that data now being integrated from Tesla into
Google. General Motors will start a has started production of the second gen Chevy Bolt. It's a
Fairfax assembly plant in Kansas, and it was four days ago, November 10th, according to GM Authority,
when production kicked off. Those cars should be with dealers before the end of January next year.
65 kilowatt hour pack LFP, similar specs to the Equinox, starting under $30,000 US dollars.
Talking of cheap, BYD Atto one and Atto two arriving in Australia in December. The Atto one
is otherwise known as the Dolphin Mini or Seagull. Those vehicles are very small cars,
good for urban environments and compact hatchbacks, but it starts at the equivalent
of about 15,000 US dollars. It's 24,000 Aussie dollars, but it's about 15 and a half grand
for a brand new EV. 30 kilowatt hour pack, 65 kilowatt motor, you know, basic specs like we've
got over here with the Leap Motor T3 and the Datchier Spring. Again, that is brilliant for people
who want that type of use case car in Australia. Should be there in December to compliment the
Atto three seal Dolphin shark and all the other BYDs there. Ford has blue crews here in the UK
in the Mustang Mac E, which is hands off, but eyes on the road legally. Now adding it to the
Puma Gen E electric as well. Peugeot's 308 is being updated in electric trim. The E 308 and
E 308 SW have some nice new diamond cut alloys and some really nice spec boosts as well.
Omoda is adding the seven, which will sit between the five and the nine. The Omoda seven is a
midsize SUV plug in hybrid 32,000 pounds with an 18.3 kilowatt hour battery should be good for 56
miles of all electric range in China. The October numbers are in and 51.6% of China's new car market
last month in October was EV. So either pure Bev or plug socket on the side. So a plug in hybrid or
an E rev Honda have unveiled their naked motorcycle, the WN seven. This looks incredible. And it's
got a small 9.3 kilowatt hour pack 90 miles of range, depending on how you drive it. These naked
motorcycles are meant to be simple, easy to live with, focused on the riding on twisty roads,
fun vehicles and haven't got a price on this, but it's got about the same power as maybe a 650 cc
middleweight from combustion world. But of course, every time you pull the throttle,
that silent belt drive smooth, quiet tons of power in it as well. This looks a really great
addition to the electric motorbike world. London has confirmed it will now charge four EVs to
enter the center and the congestion charge is going to be £18, but it'll be a 50% discount for
EV. So nine quid to drive your EV into central London. So losing that clean vehicle discount,
which is a shame. But the point of it is not to generate revenue as many people think it is,
is to keep cars out of central London and just to dissuade people from driving and to encourage
other forms of transport as well. But that will have a big, you know, a big effect. Next generation
BMW M3 will both be electric and touring slash wagon, which is cool and Porsche opening their 10th
charging lounge. This one off the A9 in Germany. That's briefly.
