It's EV News briefly for Friday, 19th of September.
Everything EV in less than five minutes
if under a time crunch today.
Let's get you up to speed.
Mitsubishi returning to Europe.
Mitsubishi's new Eclipse Cross.
All right, let's be honest.
It's a reworked Renault Scenic.
That's no bad thing.
The Scenic's a great vehicle.
Big battery, really big.
87 kilowatt hours.
Chemistry is NMC.
Range, 372 miles WLTP to go with the big battery, Renaults.
Of course, they're leaning into that Nissan Renault partnership
is Mitsubishi returning to Europe
and with a really good vehicle.
Rapid charging, fresh interior,
redesigned styling built in France by Renault.
Hyundai will launch its first extended range EV.
Joining the trend that it's exploding in China right now
but by the time it arrives sometime,
maybe towards the end of 2027,
will the EREV FAD be over?
I mean, the batteries are so big
in extended range electric vehicles.
I mean, at that point, just by a pure EV.
They say over 600 miles of range
will come in this in total with liquids and electrons.
Audi is preparing a compact entry level EV.
This would sit below the Q4.
So what do you want to call it?
An A3 e-tron?
We think two battery options, four out of power outputs.
On the newly upgraded MEB plus platform, that's good.
Small Audi's have always been really popular
at least over here as well.
China's Linktor Automotive is gonna debut a micro car.
The QuadroCycle, technically actually,
they're called L6E and L7E, they're not cars.
QuadroCycles are exempt from EV import tariffs.
They wanna sell 20,000 of them a year in Europe.
They're betting that a two door two seat micro car
with 180 kilometers of range could be popular.
Tesla has confirmed today they're gonna rework
the door handles of the Model Y.
It's because there's no manual backup
and so this week the NHTSA launched an official inquiry
into a series of complaints that they'd had,
particularly from parents that had put the child in the car.
The door closes if the 12 volt battery,
if the voltage sags, the electronic door handles
don't work and they've had to be smashing windows to get in.
Look, doesn't happen to everybody, obviously,
but when it does, you don't want your kid trapped
inside the car or pets or anybody, right?
So anyone that can't pull the emergency release,
if the 12 volt sags Tesla confirming,
they will rework that to have a manual backup.
Kinda makes sense, right?
Electric cars are now over 30%
of Germany's August new car registrations.
Tesla's Model Y dropped sharply.
Local models, like the VW ID3,
led to sales for the third consecutive month.
It's so good to see Germany recovering
after it had that wobble when they literally just got rid
of all of their incentives overnight
and really shocked the car market.
Austria and Germany are shutting down their public hydrogen
stations amid low demand and high costs.
When I meet people and they find out what I do,
about EVs, the future of transport,
they say, oh, I read in the newspaper
Hydrogen's the Future.
I don't correct them.
That's a big conversation to have.
Oh, wow. Okay, that's cool.
I'll look into that.
But Europe's network will decline
to under 200 stations across all of Europe
by the end of this year.
Hydrogen has a future somewhere in mobility,
but in passenger cars that you and I drive,
don't be fooled, it's not the future.
China's Envo L90 has earned top marks
in the latest SUV comparison.
It leads in cabin space, breaking intelligent,
tech, pure electric SUVs outperformed
E-Revs in this test.
The Envo L90 is a brilliant SUV.
Ontario's premier Doug Ford
is pressing the Prime Minister, Mark Carney,
to keep Canada's 100% tariff on Chinese EVs
to secure Canadian jobs, they say.
Autel Energy is integrating Phoenix Contact's
new 1,000-damp liquid-cooled cables
for a kilowatt, sorry, a megawatt of charging
over the CCS connector.
Toyota are saying we know how to make plug-in hybrid owners
to plug-in, reworking the Toyota app
to nudge you to plug-in your plug-in hybrid.
That's briefly.
New Year, same extra-value meals at McDonald's.
So now get two snack wraps, plus fries
and a medium soft drink for just $8.
For limited time only, prices and participation may vary.
Prices may be higher in Hawaii, Alaska,
