2:42
Motors launches their new bi-directional chargers
2:44
for home energy management, otherwise known
2:46
as V2H or vehicle to home.
2:48
This is not vehicle to grid,
2:50
which requires an extra layer of
2:53
integration. First used on the Chevy
2:55
Silverado EV RST first
2:57
edition vehicles. The bundle is $7,300 for
2:59
your power
3:02
shift charger and the home vehicle
3:04
to home kit as well installed
3:06
by Q Merit. Of course it
3:08
depends on your personal situation and
3:10
your specifics, but finally catching
3:13
up with the likes of Ford
3:15
and Tesla who now do this as well
3:17
with a Cybertruck to be able to use
3:19
your vehicle for power transfer. Well
3:21
Tritium, the Australian firm specializing in
3:23
DC fast charging, has called in
3:26
the administrators and declared insolvency, one
3:28
of the longest running DC fast
3:30
charging makers. My mind
3:32
immediately turns to how the administrators have
3:34
that business as an ongoing concern, particularly
3:37
to maintain the 13, 14,000 chargers, the
3:39
hardware that's in the ground that you
3:41
and I might be
3:46
using. Kia sets a new
3:48
record in global EV sales last month, while
3:51
some car makers are throwing their hands in the
3:53
air and saying nobody wants an EV anymore. Well
3:55
it turns out the South Korean customers, their
3:58
customers all around the world, particularly
4:00
want Hyundai's and Kia's and cars
4:03
like the EV6, the EV9, the
4:05
Niro, the Sol,
4:07
Nkari, got the bingo and the Ray
4:10
all selling really well with
4:12
Kia's total sales volume 7% now
4:14
EV. The Tesla Model 3
4:16
performance upgrade could have leaked
4:19
online it was claimed that the
4:21
UK Tesla website source code revealed it so I had
4:23
a look for myself and yeah I mean fair enough
4:25
I found it on the Model 3 order page
4:29
the it's not called ludicrous it's called
4:31
Tesla Model 3 performance it
4:33
talks about the new adaptive
4:36
suspension talks about track mode
4:38
v3 the new seats inside it
4:40
as well it talks about the 060 time
4:43
in parentheses time
4:46
you know it didn't have the specifics inside
4:48
that container so there's not much I can
4:50
tell you in terms of the hard numbers
4:52
but I certainly saw for myself now is
4:54
that real will the vehicle be called ludicrous
4:56
is are they leading us up the garden
4:58
path is this a placeholder
5:01
for something else and this text which was all
5:03
written with you know Z's not S's so the
5:05
words or you know standard eyes
5:07
with a Z as it were so it wasn't written by an English necessarily
5:10
stylized person where
5:13
has this is it boilerplate text where's it come from
5:15
we don't know but I thought it's interesting to have
5:17
a look at on the show today could indicate that
5:19
the Model 3 performance won't be called ludicrous and it
5:22
could be launching soon Xiaomi's
5:24
first EV the SU7
5:27
is being talked about by the CEO Lai Xun
5:29
and he says that the car
5:31
is selling up to
5:33
five times higher than their internal projections and
5:35
they are going to lose money on every
5:37
vehicle they make at the beginning but
5:40
analysts saying that Xiaomi's prowess in
5:42
technological manufacturing from the mobile phone
5:44
world will stand them in good
5:46
stead Mexico is withdrawing any incentives
5:48
for Chinese EV companies many people
5:50
including myself have long talked about
5:52
how Mexico could have been a
5:55
backdoor into the United States
5:58
BYD saying that
6:00
they will build a facility in Mexico to
6:02
build EVs, but only for the local market,
6:04
of course, you understand, never to be sold
6:06
in America. But in the
6:08
USA, I remain skeptical
6:10
of those claims. And now, under
6:13
pressure from the US, Mexico withdrawing any
6:15
incentives so that they can't be
6:18
used as a gateway. EVs save
6:20
up to $2,200 every single year. According
6:24
to this new calculator on the US Department of Energy's
6:26
website, if you'd like to try it, you can pop
6:28
your details in and it'll tell you how much
6:30
money you would save by going EV. And
6:33
a shortage of EV mechanics and a long
6:36
wait for parts is driving up insurance premiums
6:38
with some EVs with minor damage even being
6:40
written off by insurance companies. And that's briefly.
