It's EV News briefly for Monday 22nd of September.
00:32
Everything in less than five minutes if you're stuffed for time today.
00:35
Don't worry, let's get you up to speed.
00:37
Stalantis has developed an intelligent battery integrated system.
00:41
They've put it into the Peugeot E3008 to begin with.
00:44
Integrating the inverter, charging functions into the battery, simplifying power, delivery
00:50
It makes it 40kg lighter, more energy efficient, more peak power charging and of course with
00:56
more range for the same battery, everyone's a winner.
01:00
Leaked details of the Model Y, codenamed E41, have surfaced a hacker looking at the firmware
01:06
that he's got access to, shows a simple audio system, simplified cabing, less screens and
01:12
no seat controls, no glass roof, fewer tech amenities, new front fascia, a lot of things
01:17
stripped out of this but they're going to have to do that to get a 35,000 model Y.
01:22
We think it may come.
01:23
An announcement before the end of the year.
01:26
Now the tax credit is going.
01:27
Panasonic is developing an anode-less battery cell for Tesla.
01:31
Now put one of those in a Model Y because it'll store 25% more energy.
01:36
That's serious range, that's 90 miles of extra range in a Model Y.
01:40
That's huge, aiming for 2027.
01:43
It's Panasonic, they know what they're doing, Tesla's big battery partner.
01:48
That would be longer ranges or stick with the range you've got.
01:52
That's your headline number.
01:53
Maybe bump it a little bit for marketing reasons, but put a smaller pack in.
01:57
That's lighter, that's more efficient.
01:59
Who does efficiency really well?
02:01
Oh, yeah, that would be Tesla.
02:03
Ford Pumas Gen E is leading the car wow rankings.
02:07
Now it's eligible for the full foreground off almost of the federal, sorry, the electric
02:12
No, I'm not in America.
02:14
From our government, that brings the price down to the mid-20s, which is very, very sensible
02:18
pricing for that little car.
02:20
Volkswagen and their new city car will only come in a VW badge.
02:24
The ID Everyone concept will be a VW, but not a Seat or a Skoda or a Cupra.
02:30
Ford's Blue Oval City Manufacturing Hub in Tennessee has now finished construction.
02:35
The machines are in and all the hard work is done.
02:38
Now the hard work really begins.
02:39
Scout Motors is adding a $300 million supplier park.
02:43
Scout Motors will build the park adjacent to their vehicle production facility for things
02:47
like battery assembly, accessories and streamlining supply chains, the vehicles that are going
02:56
DAF is the trucking company, which is putting into series production battery electric versions
03:01
of their XD and XF models, featuring modular lithium ion phosphate batteries with up to
03:07
500 kilometers of range rapid DC charging.
03:11
They're a little behind on that by a couple of years, that project, but finally going
03:14
into series production as electric trucking is really taking off on the European continent,
03:20
There's a Californian non-profit called Velos, and their new campaign called Electric For
03:26
All has delivered its message about EV benefits and incentives to hundreds of millions of
03:31
people in the first two months of their marketing campaign.
03:34
They are talking about reasons to go EV, less maintenance, better range on vehicles these
03:40
days, better performing cars, pushing buyers to claim the remaining federal incentives.
03:46
Also the state level bonuses you can get and local incentives, more details at electricforall.org.
03:53
The UK now has over 85,000 public charges and growing at 30% a year, but the industry
03:58
body Charge UK is calling for reforms, including lowering VAT if I charge my car at home, pay
04:04
5% if I go down the road and use the same electricity, but public charge it, I pay 20%
04:10
In no way is that possibly fair or justifiable, but our government is a little bit short of
04:17
I don't think they're going to give us a favor as EV drivers any time soon.
04:21
And finally, the BMW X5 will come in five power trains when it is launched in a couple
04:28
Petrol diesel, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and hydrogen.
04:34
They're working with Toyota to make hydrogen versions of those X5s, which is great, a shame
04:39
you can't fill them up anywhere though.
