Zero Motorcycles is a company that makes electric motorcycles. They are one of the first companies to focus on making bikes that run on electricity instead of gasoline.
Battery technology is about how batteries are made and improved. Better batteries can help electric vehicles go further and charge faster, making them more appealing to buyers.
Used EV prices are how much you would pay for an electric car that someone else owned before. These prices can change based on how old the car is and how much it has been driven.
The Fiorano proving ground is a special track where Ferrari tests their cars to make sure they perform well. It's like a private race track just for their cars.
Electric vehicles are cars that run on electricity instead of gasoline. They are better for the environment and can save money on fuel.

Ford, acknowledging that the BYD battery cost is not something they can match and that they
have to try and get there with efficiency because BYD, because they're so vertically
integrated as a business in China, they do everything, the batteries are 30% cheaper.
And the CEO, Jim Farley, saying we can't even buy them from CATL that cheap.
And so we have to make our vehicles 30% more efficient with great engineering to effectively
match it.
Also, Jim Farley saying on the Verges Decoder podcast that he bought in Doug Field, X
Tesla, X Apple, of course, because he needed outside help.
He didn't think Ford could do it on their own.
They needed to rethink how EVs were even going to be made.
Hyundai Europe boss, President and CEO Xavier Martini.
I saw him on a Euro news interview, funnily enough, and he was talking about how Hyundai's
market share is now 4% in Europe, their number 10 in the market.
But they're making vehicles over here in Turkey and Czech Republic and Nosevice and
their plan there has been over 20 years almost.
The Hyundai Kona EV famously is a European vehicle.
But saying a couple of things I thought were fascinating, that the mix of Euro made
EVs for Hyundai will shrink this year because the Insta is becoming so popular.
That's the small car, but it's made in South Korea.
So more South Korean cars in the mix as it were, even though they'll physically make
more Euro made EVs.
And secondly, he called for many people who changed their car every six years in
Europe. Moving EV is a act of faith.
Fascinating viewpoint from the one of the most senior people in the industry.
An act of faith.
Yeah, I need to remember that as well.
It's a big step for many people.
Rivian confirmed that they are working on not only the R3, but the four, five and
maybe the six, but they're very much on the drawing board.
No engineering teams assigned to them.
RJ Scarridge saying that they are still at the conceptual phase of what will the
vehicle be and mean for our customers.
What's the target audience?
He does say that all of them will be smaller.
So nothing will be bigger than the R1 series.
Also, they're opening their Rivian supercharger network.
There's about 20, 20 chargers stations left that are still locked down.
They're soon going to all be open to all EVs.
Zero motorcycles is leaving California and moving to the Netherlands.
Europe is a big market for zero motorcycles.
One of the longer running EV motorcycle makers.
They're still really expensive.
Prices will come down and battery technology will catch up to make EV motorbikes.
You know, more compelling, but lots of people are riding them already and loving them.
Used EV prices in the U.S.
according to Cox Automotive last month, used EV on an equivalent gas car was
eight hundred and ninety seven dollars more expensive to go for the EV version.
In many cases, cheaper average list price for used EV in the U.S.
was thirty four thousand seven hundred and four dollars.
Ferrari have built their own test track next to their Fiorano proving ground
as part of testing their electric vehicles.
They it's a new almost two thousand meter private test track,
which they've built over the last four months.
And they say it will mean that they haven't got to use public roads.
Not good for spy photographers, which there's always plenty around
Ferrari factories means they can test their EVs in a little more secrecy and privacy.
That year, unveiling their hipster, a little thirteen thousand sixty mile EV,
which is not going to be produced, but a thought, a thought experiment
on what small electric cars could be for the European market from Dacia.
And that's briefly.
