A RARE INTERVIEW WITH TESLA'S CHIEF DESIGNER, FRANZ VON HOLZHAUSEN

- Franz von Holzhausen has been Tesla’s chief designer since 2008. CNBC got a rare interview with him at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which recently opened a new Tesla exhibit.

- Von Holzhausen was a lead designer on the Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X and Model Y as well as the Cybertruck, Tesla Semi truck and the second-generation Roadster.

- When asked about his favorite Tesla design and what he was most proud of, von Holzhausen said, “Favorite one is the one that is coming. I think that I can’t talk about.”

- He spoke to CNBC about what it’s like to have Elon Musk as a boss, what happened when the glass shattered on the windows at the Cybertruck unveil, the Tesla Semi truck and what’s next for auto design.

EV sales in Norway explode ahead of policy changes - 🔋PushEVs

- . The freak volume in December 2022 resulted from one-off pull-forward effects ahead of new policies and auto taxes applying from 2023 onwards.

- 2023 will introduce two new taxes that apply to BEVs for the first time. The first is a weight tax of 12.5 NOK for every kg of vehicle weight above 500 kg. So a relatively lightweight 1,700 kg BEV faces an additional cost of 15,000 NOK (about €1,410) from 1st January 2023. For a heavy BEV of 2,700 kg, it amounts to an addition of 27,500 NOK (€2,590).

- Adding together the new weight tax, and the new VAT tax, from 1st of January, a Tesla Model Y Performance faces additional cost of around €1,850 (for weight) plus €2,350 (for VAT). So €4,100 more overall, compared to its cost in December.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It’s Sunday 15th January it’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.

- Fredricka Klaren, an executive responsible for sustainability at Polestar, has a clear look at what the future should bring, and she shared some words with the media about Polestar's role in it. Klaren also has strong opinions about what other companies should be doing, and she used Toyota as an example of what not to do.

- We must stop burning fossil fuels. Toyota believes that its hybrids are proving more successful at reducing emissions, likely because they're more efficient than standard gas-powered cars, and the automaker sells loads of them. However, no matter how you present the facts, there's no denying that those loads of hybrid vehicles across the globe are spewing harmful tailpipe emissions.

- Klaren went on to emphasize that there are only seven years remaining before global warming hits 1.5 degrees. She targeted Toyota, saying that its hybrid vehicle technology is simply not enough. The Polestar executive shared:  "To me, you’re still putting gasoline in the car, so don’t focus on that technology at all. If you keep focussing [and] having that in your business plan, you’re not going to level up in the way you need to do in terms of this new technology."

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It’s Thursday 23rd February it’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.

- Summary: SEAT is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its Martorell factory by kicking off an ambitious 3 billion euro investment to transform the company from combustion to electrification. By 2025, SEAT S.A. will start producing fully electric vehicles for different brands within the Volkswagen Group. To support this transformation, SEAT S.A. has designed a strategic plan that includes five main pillars and the Future: Fast Forward project to electrify factories in Spain. Furthermore, the company is investing in training for its employees and implementing data and business intelligence tools in its production facilities. Since 1993, the Martorell factory has built over 12 million vehicles and exported to over 70 countries.

- Summary: Lucid Group reported a major drop in orders during the fourth quarter, with their shares dropping 11% after hours. They forecast 2023 production to be 10,000 to 14,000 luxury electric vehicles, well short of analysts' expectations of 21,815. Price cuts from Tesla and Ford have made it harder for Lucid to compete for consumer wallets, with more than 28,000 orders as of Feb. 21, down 6,000 from the second quarter. Lucid reported a net loss of $472.6 million for the quarter ended Dec. 31 and their stock fell as much as 10.6% in extended trading.

- Summary: A Tesla Model 3 prototype with a refreshed design has been spotted with new wheels. Last year, rumors began that Tesla was working on a Model 3 refresh and the project is reportedly codenamed “Highland”. The new wheels feature an 18" aero design with spokes coming into the center at different angles. Tesla is expected to release more details about the update on their Investor Day next week.

- Summary: Tesla Inc. has announced that it will be establishing its "global engineering headquarters" in Palo Alto, California, with the move being seen as a sign of cooperation between the electric-vehicle maker and the EV-friendly state it once called home. The move is also seen as a thaw in the frosty relations between Tesla and California after the company moved its corporate headquarters to Texas in 2021. Elon Musk and Governor Gavin Newsom made the announcement, with Newsom praising Tesla for its "visionary spirit" and record of innovation. Newsom argued that Tesla was able to become the largest passenger EV maker in the world because of the state’s EV-friendly policies and tax structure. Tesla also announced that they are hiring for engineering roles in Palo Alto.

- Summary: Sean Ryan, a state senator from New York, has called on the state's economic development agency to investigate Tesla's firing of more than 40 employees last week in response to a union organizing drive at its South Buffalo plant. Attorneys for the Tesla Workers United have filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, alleging that at least 25 of those fired were in retaliation for the organizing effort. Ryan has requested documents from Tesla officials in Buffalo related to the firing of the workers.

- Summary: Enphase Energy has successfully demonstrated a bidirectional EV charger that enables vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality and allows energy generated from solar panels to be sent directly to the EV battery. The product uses Enphase’s grid-forming IQ8 Microinverters and Ensemble energy management technology, and supports both the CCS and CHAdeMO charging standards. Enphase plans to bring this charger to market in 2024, as part of an all-in-one home energy system that unlocks electrification, resilience, savings and control for homeowners.

- Summary: Ford conducted a study to test which system is more efficient for keeping the cabin temperature comfortable in E-Transit vans - the traditional HVAC system or heated interior panels. The study found that panels used 13% less energy and could potentially increase EV range by 5%. It was suggested that this is due to the panels retaining heat even with frequent door openings. Luxury automakers such as BMW and Mercedes have been offering heated armrests for years and it is possible that heated interior panels could become more common in the near future as a way to improve EV range.

- Summary: J.D. Power's ongoing study shows that inoperable and poorly maintained public EV charging stations are increasingly frustrating drivers. More than one in five charging attempts fail, with these failures attributed to 72% malfunctioning or out-of-service chargers. EV owners in high-density areas are particularly frustrated with the lack of available chargers. The White House has announced that Tesla will open some of its charging network to non-Tesla vehicles, but there is skepticism about how open the network will be.

- Summary: Michigan economic development officials have asked lawmakers to provide $750 million to support Ford Motor Co.'s new $3.5 billion electric vehicle battery factory in Marshall. The funds will be used to buy land, upgrade infrastructure, and do other work, bringing the total state incentives for the project to nearly $1.8 billion. This includes $330 million for road improvements, $224.7 million to make the site "pad ready", $100 million for water and wastewater infrastructure, $75 million for land acquisition, $15 million for rail improvements, $5 million to contract for full-time permit processing and inspections staff, and $300,000 to extend a fiber optic system.

- Summary: Mercedes-Benz has agreed to a "multibillion-dollar" deal with Luminar to integrate lidar technology and software into their next-generation of vehicles. The deal includes Luminar building a factory in Asia to supply Mercedes with lidar sensors, and Mercedes taking a small stake in Luminar in exchange for data and services. The lidar technology will be used to support Mercedes' automated driving system, Drive Pilot, and will allow the system to operate at up to 80 miles per hour. Drive Pilot is currently available in certain German models and will be available in certain U.S. markets later this year.

- Summary: The growing concern of excess capacity in vehicle production has led to a decrease in profits around the world, as companies have competed to stay ahead. Hyundai-Kia has become a global powerhouse, while many Chinese manufacturers have attempted to take their share of the local market, leading to an over-saturation of production capacity. The traditionally accepted capacity utilisation of more than 80% for profitable operation has been shifted by new EV startups and the more successful Chinese manufacturers, leading to a decrease in profits.

- Summary: BMW and Rio Tinto have signed a memorandum of understanding in which BMW will source aluminium with significantly reduced CO2 emissions from Rio Tinto's hydro-powered operations in Canada starting in 2024. This approach can save around 70 percent of CO2 emissions compared to conventionally manufactured aluminium, and is intended to reduce the carbon footprint of BMW vehicles. The agreement involves the use of carbon-free anodes to eliminate process-related CO2 emissions, renewable energy sources, up to 50 percent secondary material, and blockchain technology to guarantee traceability and compliance with environmental and social standards.

- Summary: Valmet Automotive has started series production of battery systems in Kirchardt, Germany, and has already secured the first order for small-series production of modules, packs, and the battery management system for a sports car brand. This is the company's first German battery plant, as well as their third battery system production plant, with two others in Finland. Valmet Automotive is a leader in the production and development of battery systems, having delivered over 1 million battery systems to customers since the start of production in 2019.

Former Ford CEO Mark Fields believes that Tesla is one generation ahead of its competitors in the EV race, despite its stock dropping around 7% after its investor day presentation failed to confirm any new car models. Tesla's keys to winning the EV race come down to product appeal, software or user interface, controlling cost, and consistent execution.

Tesla has started installing its fourth-generation Supercharger posts in Europe with longer cables to reach charging ports of different EV models, according to Tesla's Head of Global Charging Infrastructure, Rebecca Tinucci. The company's charging network is now the world's largest global fast-charging network with over 40,000 Superchargers in 46 countries.

Tesla has opened up its Supercharger network in North America to non-Tesla EVs at 8 Supercharger locations in New York and 2 in California, fitted with the new "magic dock" interface. Ccharging costs vary by location but Tesla offers a membership for reduced charging rates.

Tesla has been granted over $330 million in tax incentives by the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development board for the company’s new electric semi truck and battery manufacturing facility, as part of an expansion of Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory. In return, Tesla has committed to investing $3.6 billion over 10 years and hiring 3,000 new employees with an average wage of $33.49 per hour.

Ford has announced plans to resume production of its electric F-150 Lightning pickup truck on March 13 after a battery issue caused one of the vehicles to catch fire. The resumption of production will be watched closely as Ford seeks to compete in the growing electric vehicle market.

Polestar, the EV brand owned by Volvo Cars and Geely, announced an 84% increase in revenue for 2022 and halved its net loss to $466m. The company aims to launch two new EV models this year and increase its deliveries by nearly 60% to around 80,000 cars.

Vietnamese automaker VinFast has delivered the first batch of 45 vehicles to US customers amid doubts about the company's corporate health. CleanTechnica confirms VinFast's assembly process is on track and the company has delivered over 4,278 EVs to local customers in Vietnam.

Buick China has revealed the interior of its upcoming battery-electric crossover, the Electra E5, which boasts advanced technology such as a 30-inch EyeMax curved OLED screen and wireless charging. The vehicle is expected to launch in China before mid-year and in the U.S. for the 2024 model year.

LG Energy Solutions and Honda have broken ground on a new joint venture battery plant in Ohio, representing a $4.4 billion investment and the creation of 2,200 new jobs. The plant will produce lithium-ion batteries to power Honda vehicles for North American consumers, with the goal of shifting to 100% EV sales by 2040.

Aston Martin is set to reveal a future model lineup that includes a new full-electric car at a capital markets day for investors this summer, according to Chairman Lawrence Stroll. The luxury carmaker is currently overhauling its three core front-engine sports cars, the DB11, the Vantage, and the DBS, with the first to be delivered to customers this autumn.

First Bus has ordered an additional 117 electric buses from Wrightbus to operate in four UK cities, with additional funding from the British government. This order, along with the previous one, will enable First Bus to operate over 600 electric buses by March 2024 and supports the company's goal of being CO2 neutral by 2035

Redwood Materials has completed its first year of recycling electric vehicle (EV) batteries and has recovered over 95% of lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and other metals from 1,268 battery packs weighing over 500,000 lbs. The company says the cost driver is logistics, which will reduce over time as end-of-life pack volumes increase.

Daimler Buses is transforming its Mannheim plant into a center for electric city buses, and it will invest around €150m in both its German plants by the end of the decade. The company plans to offer CO2-neutral vehicles in all segments in Europe and Latin America by 2030, and it aims to sell only fully electric vehicles for city buses in Europe.

Renewable energy sources in the UK generated more electricity than gas during the winter season, producing enough energy to power every home in the UK. The progress was made through the use of wind, hydro, and solar energy, and is in line with the UK government's goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050.

A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that while global carbon dioxide emissions have increased, the growth has been tempered by a surge in renewable energy. The growth in renewable energy is driven by an increase in wind and solar installations and more supportive government policies, and the IEA emphasizes the need to accelerate the transition to renewable energy to achieve a sustainable future.

A new study from the European Heat Pump Association and the European Heat Pump Network shows that heat pumps are significantly cheaper than green hydrogen for producing heat in Europe. Decarbonizing heating is a critical part of the EU's goal to reach net-zero by 2050, and the study highlights the role of heat pumps in achieving it.

Tesla started delivering its first Model Y’s with a BYD Blade battery from Giga Berlin this week. A customer has already received and registered one of these German Model Y RWDs. This model is equipped with a new BYD battery that, upon quick testing, has reported positive results. The charge rate hit 172kW at 25% state of charge and stayed there until 50%. 

Geely has started shipping its new Zeekr 001 model, powered by the latest CATL "Kirin" battery. This model, boasting the longest range among electric vehicles in the Chinese market, 641 miles (1,032 km) with a 140 kWh battery. 

XPeng has announced that the first production model of its G6 SUV has begun leaving the manufacturing line. The G6 is scheduled to be formally launched and delivered by the end of the second quarter, with a price range of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan ($28,450).  XPeng sees the Tesla Model Y as the primary rival for the G6. 

SAIC has cut the prices of several of its small electric vehicles (EVs) to promote their use in rural areas. The firm announced price reductions of up to 13,000 yuan ($1,850) for models in its Hongguang Mini EV family (15.7%).

In Shanghai participation in the May auction for gasoline vehicle licence plates fell to a 99-month low. Shanghai began giving free licence plates to buyers of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) in 2022. From January 2023, PHEVs were treated like conventional internal combustion engine vehicles, and owners will need to purchase licence plates via competitive bidding. 

BMW has announced plans to start assembling its electrified Neue Klasse vehicles and their batteries in China from 2026. These next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) will be produced by BMW Brilliance Automotive (BBA). 

Swiss company Holcim will buy 1,000 Volvo electric trucks. The first 130 trucks are set to be delivered in 2023 and 2024. By replacing 1,000 current Volvo FH diesel trucks with 1,000 Volvo FH Electric trucks using green power on a typical route, up to 50,000 tonnes of CO2 could be saved annually. 

VinFast has confirmed the arrival of its second shipment of VF8 EVs, including 1,879 longer-range vehicles, following an initial dispatch of 999 VF 8 City Edition SUVs in December 2022. VF8 Eco and VF8 Plus trim levels are EPA-rated at 264 miles and 243 miles, respectively. 

Lotus is preparing to launch the Type 133, positioned as a rival to the Porsche Taycan. Spy photos suggest the Type 133 will feature a modern style, a sloping roof, and design elements drawn from the Evija and Eletre. The 112kWh battery pack from the Eletre will reportedly be included in the Type 133, potentially providing the sleek saloon with a range of over 400 miles. 

Northvolt has completed the construction of its energy storage system (ESS) manufacturing plant in Poland and anticipates launching production by the end of 2023. 

Tensions are escalating between Washington and Brussels over a plan to make European manufacturers eligible for U.S. electric car tax incentives. This deadlock is expected to prolong negotiations beyond the summer, potentially disadvantaging European manufacturers in the American auto market.
