BONUS: How China Engineered A Bloodbath Of Deliberate Overcapacity

China's electric vehicle price war represents the calculated culmination of a decade-long state industrial policy that has now reached its inevitable—and perhaps intended—climax. Since 2009, Beijing has channeled over $230 billion into EV incentives, subsidies, and industrial support, creating what appears to be overcapacity but was actually a deliberate strategy to forge global champions through domestic combat.The result is a market hosting over 130 brands competing in what Volkswagen's China chief describes as a sector that has "lost all reason".Today we’ll discuss: Chronic Overcapacity and Unsustainable Competition Deep Financial Stress Across the Industry Global Repercussions and Political Backlash A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters.

BONUS: The Tech Sheet (Pt1) - Why Do Cutting Edge EVs Have A 12 Volt Battery?

WHY DO CUTTING EDGE EVS STILL HAVE A 12 VOLT BATTERY?Welcome back to EV News Daily, welcome The Tech Sheet, the name we give to special bonus episodes which explain the tech behind EVs.Despite the advances in electric vehicle technology, from massive lithium-ion battery packs to sophisticated power management systems, virtually every modern electric vehicle still carries what appears to be an automotive relic: the humble 12-volt lead-acid battery.This seemingly anachronistic component, dating back to automotive conventions established in the 1950s, continues to play a critical role in even the most advanced electric vehicles. The persistence of 12V systems in cutting-edge EVs represents a fascinating intersection of legacy engineering, practical necessity, safety requirements, and economic considerations that have proven remarkably resistant to disruption.The recent introduction of Tesla's Cybertruck with its groundbreaking 48-volt electrical architecture has reignited industry discussions about whether the time has finally come to abandon the decades-old 12V standard. Tesla's decision to share its 48V implementation documentation with other automakers has created both opportunity and controversy, raising fundamental questions about the future of automotive electrical systems. Yet two years after the Cybertruck's launch, the industry has largely remained committed to traditional 12V architectures, revealing deep-seated challenges that extend far beyond simple technical preferences.A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters.

BONUS: The Spec Sheet - Mercedes-Benz GLC Is Their Best Yet

Weclcome back to EV News Daily, and welcome to our new series where we go deep into one particular EV, called The Spec Sheet. And today it’s the turn of the Mercedes-Benz GLC with EQ Technology—a vehicle that represents a significant jump forward for Stuttgart's approach to electric mobility.Unlike previous EQ models that carried distinct names and styling, this GLC shares its nameplate with the combustion-powered version while riding on an entirely different platform purpose-built for electric drive. This marks Mercedes' previously announced departure from the standalone EQ brand identity toward a unified approach where electric and internal combustion variants coexist under familiar model names.Stay tuned to discover:· How Mercedes' new MB.EA platform architecture delivers both efficiency and performance· The technical innovations behind the GLC's 443-mile WLTP range capability· Why this model represents the centerpiece of Mercedes' largest product offensive in company historyThe GLC holds particular significance as Mercedes-Benz's global best-selling model. By electrifying this cornerstone SUV, the company is making a clear statement about its electric future while maintaining design continuity that existing customers will instantly recognize. And more importantly for a brand which saw pushback from S-Class and E-Class buyers towards the change in direction with the EQS and EQE respectively, Mercedes-Benz will hope this is an easier sell to their fans.

BONUS: Electric Cars Broke Ford in Europe — Can They Save It Too?

Welcome back to EV News Daily, and welcome to a special bonus edition of the podcast looking at the future of Ford in Europe.There was a time when it seemed every second driveway in Britain and Germany had a Ford. School runs in Fiestas, morning commutes in Focuses, and the blue oval found pride of place in government fleets and police motor pools. I remember the UK tabloid newspapers would talk about Mondeo-man as a shorthand for the average guy.Ford’s grip on Europe’s roads was so firm that, for twelve years straight, the Fiesta reigned supreme as the UK’s favourite car—a symbol of trust and accessibility on a continental scale.Today, Ford's European operations face a critical juncture where electric vehicles represent both the company's greatest challenge and its most viable path to salvation. The American automaker finds itself struggling with declining market share, factory closures, and former management missteps that have left it vulnerable to Chinese competition and disconnected from EV buyers.A reminder our bonus shows are exclusively for our Patreon supporters.

The program lets buyers lock in rebates for vehicles already in transit, with lease prices expected to rise after the commercial-credit route closes.PORSCHE CAYENNE EV DEVELOPED WITH SIMULATIONSPorsche’s Cayenne EV, due for debut at the end of the year, was developed using extensive AI and digital simulations that cut development time and prototype count by 20%. The SUV, built on the 800V SSP platform, targets a fast charge from 10% to 80% in 16 minutes and offers wireless charging as an option.35% OF UK DRIVERS LIKELY TO CHOOSE EVSRenault UK’s survey finds 35% of British drivers are likely to choose an EV following the government’s Electric Car Grant, especially younger buyers and men. Barriers include charging, range, and cost, but all Renault’s EVs now qualify for grant thresholds, starting from £21,495.EREVS: CONSUMER MISUNDERSTANDING AND OPPORTUNITYEscalent research reveals most car buyers lack awareness of Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), but favorability rises after learning about their hybrid nature. Automakers see EREVs as a bridge to EV adoption for hesitant buyers, and models like Ram’s pickup and VW Scout are attracting more deposits than BEVs.TESLA-UBER FREIGHT TO DRIVE SEMI ADOPTIONTesla is partnering with Uber Freight to deploy electric Semis on freight routes, aiming to drive broader EV truck adoption and highlight operating cost benefits. Uber’s network helps reduce uncertainties for operators, positioning Tesla’s Semi to compete in commercial shipping lanes with “no compromises”.TESLA SETTLES TWO 2019 AUTOPILOT LAWSUITSTesla discreetly settled two lawsuits from 2019 California crashes involving Autopilot; these come after a major Florida verdict against Tesla over FSD failures. The settlements underscore legal risks around Tesla’s self-driving technology, which is central to the company’s trillion-dollar valuation narrative.MUNICH AIRPORT OPENS 275-POINT EV CHARGING PARKMunich Airport opened Bavaria’s largest EV charging park with 275 stations and a solar array of 7,216 modules generating up to 3 MW of renewable power. The €5.2 million project gives passengers 138 accessible EV chargers and supports broader adoption in Germany.EV REALTY BUILDS TRUCK CHARGING HUBSEV Realty is addressing grid limitations for electric trucks by building multi-fleet fast-charging hubs in California, using proprietary software to optimize site selection near industrial centers. The company raised $75 million for expansion, modelling its facilities after data centers and targeting hundreds of megawatts of unused grid capacity.SPAIN 2025 GRID AND EV CHARGINGSpain’s surging EV adoption in 2025 is stressing the nation’s power grid, with current charging sites capable of 1–3 MW but future upgrades needed for heavy-duty vehicles and rural coverage. Experts warn grid upgrades must precede mass charge point rollouts to avoid bottlenecks as demand grows.ICELAND NEW CAR REGISTRATIONS RISE, EVS LEADIceland’s new car registrations jumped 28% year-on-year, mostly driven by rental companies, with 80% of sales classified as “new energy” vehicles. Fully electric cars accounted for a third of registrations, hybrids 24%, plug-in hybrids 21%, and petrol/diesel just 20%.U.S. EV CHARGING NETWORK GROWTH SLOWSU.S. EV charging infrastructur

BONUS: The Top 10 Fastest EVs Ranked

Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today, just for fun, we’re looking at the world of EV hypercars, and how the shift to EV has turned the established world order on its head.The electric vehicle revolution has reached its apex in the hypercar segment, where manufacturers are pushing the boundaries of speed, power, and engineering excellence.German manufacturers, while maintaining their reputation for engineering precision and build quality, face significant challenges in matching the raw performance metrics achieved by their Chinese competitors.With manufacturers from Japan, Croatia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom also contributing unique solutions to the electric hypercar segment. This global redistribution of high-performance electric vehicle manufacturers represents a democratization of automotive technology that was previously concentrated in traditional automotive manufacturing centres.So let’s get into our Top 10 Countdown. Plus stay tuned, because I’ll even give you a bonus one at the end, which some people might argue shouldn’t even be on the list.Lotus Emeya – 159 mph (256 km/h)Porsche Taycan Turbo GT Weissach – 190 mph (305 km/h)Nio EP9 – 194 mph (313 km/h)Maserati GranTurismo Folgore – 202 mph (325 km/h)Lucid Air Sapphire – 205 mph (330 km/h)Pininfarina Battista – 222–225 mph (358 km/h)Lotus Evija – 217 mph (349 km/h)Rimac Nevera R – 268.2 mph (431.45 km/h)Aspark Owl SP600 – 273 mph (438.7 km/h)Yangwang U9 Track Edition – 293.54 mph (472.41 km/h)The success of previously unknown manufacturers in achieving world-class performance levels indicates that electric vehicle adoption may create opportunities for new industry leaders while challenging established automotive hierarchies.As electric vehicle technology continues advancing, the current performance achievements represent merely the beginning of a new era in automotive engineering, where traditional limitations of internal combustion engines no longer constrain vehicle performance and where global competition for technological supremacy is reshaping the fundamental structure of the automotive industry.

The sporty, composite-bodied SUV pairs dual motors and a petrol engine for 300 km range, with a production debut expected around 2027 or 2028.GEELY LAUNCHES EX5 ELECTRIC SUV IN UKGeely has launched its EX5 electric SUV in the UK, starting at £31,990 and offering up to 267 miles of range on a lithium-iron-phosphate battery with rapid charging.

ROC TO 2030Volkswagen has postponed production of its ID. Golf and ID. Roc EVs to 2030, with the ID. Roc debuting first on the new SSP platform, followed by the ID. Golf. The delay triggers a reshuffle of its plant allocations, with related internal combustion and EV model moves now set for clarification in annual planning later in the year.BERLIN PLANT RAISES OUTPUT DESPITE SALES DROPTesla’s Berlin Grünheide factory is increasing its production targets in response to anticipated market strength, despite ACEA reporting a 44% sales drop in the EU and a 39% decline in German registrations through August. Tesla attributes the downturn to Model Y design updates disrupting sales, with Norway showing strong growth and production revised upwards for Q3 and Q4.ALL-ELECTRIC AUDI RS6 E-TRON FUTURE UNCLEARThe fully electric Audi RS6 e-tron may be canceled, even as prototypes continue road testing, with Audi expected instead to launch a plug-in hybrid RS6 alongside its traditional combustion model. Both vehicles were planned to share RS6 design cues but sit on different platforms, and initial plans had the EV debuting before the plug-in hybrid’s 2026 arrival.HONG KONG PURSUES LOCAL EV ASSEMBLY BASEHong Kong is negotiating with multiple Chinese carmakers, including FAW Group, to establish local EV production facilities as part of a push for strategic industry and international expansion. High local costs and China’s overcapacity drive suppliers to Hong Kong’s financial sector, with major players like Contemporary Amperex Technology already setting up headquarters and listing on the city's stock exchange.LUCID TO EXPAND IN ASIA, BUT NOT CHINALucid Motors plans expansion into Asian markets but will avoid China, citing heavy subsidies and overcapacity as reasons for staying out. Interim CEO Marc Winterhoff expressed confidence in Lucid’s technology and competitiveness while focusing future models on the $50,000 segment and higher, not the low-cost market.EXTENDING AUSTRALIAN EV TAX EXEMPTION COULD ADD 1.5 MILLION TO ROADSExtending Australia’s EV fringe-benefits tax exemption to 2035 could add 1.5 million electric cars to Australian roads, according to Electric Vehicle Council modelling. The policy has driven over 100,000 additional EV sales since 2022, with further benefits possible for plug-in hybrids and the second-hand market.NISSAN AND CHARGESCAPE LAUNCH V2G PILOTNissan and ChargeScape have launched a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot in Silicon Valley, using Nissan EVs and Fermata Energy bidirectional chargers to support grid demand for local data centers. The project aims to set a model for broader V2G integration through California’s virtual power plant network and beyond.FORD TOUTS MOVE TO LFP BATTERIESFord will manufacture lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries at its BlueOval Michigan plant from 2026, using CATL technology for future vehicles including a mid-size pickup.

Europe led growth, North America hit a record as buyers rushed to secure tax credits, and China saw robust, if moderating, expansion, while BYD cut its sales target but expects significant overseas volume.FORD'S FOCUS-SIZED RECOVERY PLANFord will launch a new mid-sized crossover in 2027, built in Valencia, Spain, reflecting a shift toward affordable EVs following Fiesta and Focus factory closures. The model will compete directly with the likes of Tiguan and Sportage at a mid-£30,000 price point—aiming to recover relevance with lower emissions and competitive pricing without expecting past market share highs.EUROPEAN AUTOMAKERS SEEK 2035 FLEXIBILITYEuropean automotive leaders are calling for flexibility in the EU’s 2035 ban on petrol and diesel cars, citing tougher global supply chains and increased reliance on Chinese battery suppliers. Automakers advocate for hybrids and transitional support beyond 2035, while member states like Italy and France push for exceptions, highlighting the division over the full fossil fuel phase-out deadline.TOYOTA BUILDS EV SUVS IN KENTUCKYToyota will begin producing its first electric vehicles in the U.S. next year, including two three-row SUVs at its Georgetown, Kentucky site, part of a $1.3 billion investment focused on domestic EV growth.
