LEAPMOTOR OPENS EUROPEAN B03X ORDERS FROM €24,900
Stellantis has opened European orders for the Leapmotor B03X, a compact electric crossover starting at €24,900 (about $28,900), sold through the Chinese brand's joint venture with Stellantis and undercutting most European-built compact EVs. Two variants are offered — the Pro with a 39.8 kWh battery and 292 km WLTP range, and the ProMax with 53.0 kWh and 382 km — both with a 14.6-inch touchscreen, 8.8-inch cluster, Leap OS 4.0 Plus, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and standard Level 2 driver assistance using 14 sensors and cameras across 21 functions.VOLVO FACELIFTS XC40, EX40 AND EC40
Volvo has given the XC40, EX40 and EC40 their first major styling revision in nearly nine years, with all-new bodywork ahead of the A-pillars and revised 'Thor's Hammer' matrix LED headlights that Volvo says cut glare, debuting on the model year 2028 XC40 now that matrix LEDs are legal in the United States. Powertrains are unchanged, but the cars gain an 11.2-inch touchscreen with Google Gemini voice assistance, plus added cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors supporting a smoother Pilot Assist with lane-change assist, a 3-D 360-degree camera view and an occupant alert for approaching cyclists before doors open.VOLKSWAGEN PLANS IQ.DRIVE UPDATE TO ID. BUZZ
Volkswagen will upgrade IQ.DRIVE functions on 2027 MEB vehicles, with the ID. Buzz receiving the fullest package including Road Experience Management, and Enhanced Travel Assist that can execute a driver-requested lane change above 45 mph using rear radar, waiting up to 12 seconds if traffic blocks the move while the driver stays res… -

JEEP RECON PAIRS 670 HP WITH 222 MI RANGE
The 2026 Jeep Recon is a 670 hp dual-motor electric off-roader with a 94-kWh battery, 203 kW peak DC charging, 33-inch all-terrain tyres, 9.1 inches of ground clearance, a locking rear differential and removable doors, rear windows and a power roof that folds fully rearward. Car & Driver found on-road handling more stable than a Wrangler but criticised abrupt accelerator and braking response off-road, and the Moab trim's $68,990 price and 222 mi estimated range may limit its appeal against conventional off-roaders.FORD DISCONTINUES CURRENT-GENERATION F-150 LIGHTNING, PLANS EREV
Ford quietly discontinued the current-generation F-150 Lightning in December, though it stayed on sale for several months and is now absent from Ford's website, ending the run of what had been America's best-selling electric pickup. Its replacement will be an extended-range EREV pickup using a petrol generator for more than 700 miles of combined range, which CEO Jim Farley called a "better solution" that runs on electricity 90% of the time.BYD DOLPHIN SURF ADVERTISED FROM €12,605 IN SPAIN
BYD is advertising the Dolphin Surf from €12,605 in Spain via September promotions, a figure that depends on CA Auto Bank financing over at least 72 months with a 36-month commitment, dealer and manufacturer discounts, a €3,375 Plan Auto+ advance and €950 from an energy-saving certificate. Because the finance contract rather than the subsidy award fixes liability, buyers owe CA Auto Bank the €3,375 if their application fails or the scheme's €400 million for 2026 runs out, and the price is €825 higher than the €11,780 ad… -

VOLVO TO DISTRIBUTE LYNK & CO IN EUROPE FROM 2027
Volvo Cars becomes Lynk & Co's exclusive European distributor from January 2027, selling through Volvo retailers and servicing via its network of several hundred locations, while Geely Auto retains design, development, certification, global brand strategy and all non-European operations. Volvo says the deal grows retailer sales and service revenue without the financial risk of investing in the brand — notable given it sold its 30% Lynk & Co stake to Zeekr for 5.4 billion yuan (about $805m).VOLVO DROPS EX40 AS EX50 EXPECTED IN 2027
Volvo is discontinuing the EX40 in the US and Canada, with its expected replacement, the slightly larger EX50 on the cheaper SPA3 platform and priced in the high $40,000s, not due at dealerships until autumn 2027. The EX40 rode on the near decade-old CMA platform and sold best through the Care by Volvo subscription scheme that ended in 2024; the EX60 P6 now marks Volvo's electric SUV entry point at $59,795 against the EX40's $56,545.NISSAN REVIVES PIXO AS ITS MOST AFFORDABLE EUROPEAN EV
Nissan will revive the Pixo name for its cheapest European EV, an A-segment model sitting below the Micra and premiering on 23 September 2026, built on Renault's RGEV Small platform alongside the Twingo and Dacia Spring at Novo Mesto in Slovenia. Expected to be mechanically identical to the Twingo Electric with a 27.5 kWh CATL LFP pack and around 263 km of range, it gets Nissan-designed styling drawing on late-80s and early-90s Pike cars such as the Figaro and Be-1, against Twingo and Spring price… -

DACIA MOVES €17,900 SPRING PRODUCTION TO SLOVENIA
Dacia's second-generation Spring shifts production from Wuhan to Renault's Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia, starting at €18,000 with the whole range under €20,000 before incentives, making it eligible for European-only subsidies and exempt from EU tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. Engineering stays Chinese via Renault's Shanghai centre, and the car uses 60 kW front motor and 27.5 kWh CATL LFP battery for up to 250 km WLTP.GERMAN BEV SALES RISE 75.1% IN AUGUST
German BEV registrations jumped 75.1% year-on-year in August, lifting share from 19% to 32.4% while the overall new-car market grew just 2.6%, and year-to-date BEV sales up 53.1%, for a 26.2% share. Volkswagen led, followed unchanged by Mercedes, BMW, Skoda and Audi, while Chinese challengers grew fastest.KIA PUTS EV3, EV4 AND EV5 GTS ON SALE
Kia has launched GT versions of the EV3, EV4 and EV5 in Europe, joining the EV6 GT and EV9 GT to cover hatchback and fastback, compact, midsize and three-row SUV formats, though the EV4 GT Fastback skips the UK and neither the EV4 GT nor EV5 GT is planned for the US. All three pair dual-motor all-wheel drive with an 81.4 kWh battery and electronically controlled suspension, plus Kia's Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design simulating a gas guzzler.FORD CONSIDERS COMPACT VEHICLE FOR UEV PLATFORM

AUDI A2 E-TRON STARTS AT €38,200 IN GERMANY
Audi's cheapest EV starts at €38,200 in Germany, above the €34,000 VW ID.3 Neo it shares MEB+ underpinnings with, and launches at the end of 2026 with orders opening in fall and deliveries in December. It claims up to 401 miles WLTP and a best-ever Audi efficiency of 4.85 miles/kWh on the 188-hp efficiency-package version, with rear-wheel drive only, 52/61 kWh LFP or 84 kWh NMC batteries charging at 183 kW (10–80% in about 29 minutes), a Q4 e-tron wheelbase for extra interior space, and standard bidirectional charging.ICCT SAYS ELECTRIC CARS COST ONE THIRD LESS
An ICCT report published on September 6 found electric cars cost a third less to run in Europe in 2025 than petrol or diesel equivalents, or 28% less for drivers relying on public charging, with combustion energy costs rising 12–36% at the start of 2026 during the US-Iran Hormuz oil crisis while BEV energy costs held steady. The ICCT also found price parity with petrol cars in Germany's three largest segments based on data covering 100,000 vehicles, and lead author Marie Rajon Bernard expects European BEV adoption to scale up provided current policies survive growing political pressure to reverse them.YOUNG DRIVERS SAY PETROL CARS ARE LIKE USING A LANDLINE TELEPHONE
Research commissioned by E.ON Next among 1,500 drivers found more than half of those aged 17 to 20 want their next car to be electric, against a UK BEV new-car share of 26% from January to August, with cost the main draw: 56% think EVs save money, 20% cite day-to-day affordability, … -

RIVIAN OS 2 REACHES BOTH R1 GENERATIONS
Rivian began rolling out update 2026.31 on Friday, extending RivianOS 2 to R1T and R1S models from both R1 generations alongside R2, adding a vertical status bar, quick controls and media player placeable on either side of the centre display, a rebuilt Settings 2 app with universal search, Real-Time Route Alerts for speed cameras and police presence in Google Maps navigation, and Rivian Unified Intelligence behind a "Hey Rivian" assistant that can control vehicle functions. Hardware still divides the platform: R2 and second-generation R1 vehicles run Unreal Engine 5 for real-time 3D visualisations while first-generation R1s stay on Unreal Engine 4 to preserve screen responsiveness, reflecting the first-gen's 17 electronic control units against the 2024 second-gen's seven-unit zonal architecture, dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin processors and roughly ten times the processing power.REPORTED ID. POLO ORDERS TOP 30,000 BEFORE LAUNCH
More than 30,000 orders for Volkswagen's ID. Polo, priced from €24,995 (about $29,000), have reportedly been placed across Europe before the hatchback's official sales launch, with pre-sales open since late April, demand strongest in Germany and most buyers ordering without having seen or driven the car. A major VW dealer group says the range is effectively sold out with waits of at least ten months, while Volkswagen attributes the delays to strong demand and capacity planned in advance at its Martorell plant in Spain, where it is progressively increasing production.HYUNDAI OPENS STARIA ELECTRIC ORDERS IN EUROPE

ev.news Europe: Volkswagen Just Put Four EV Factories at Risk
6 september 2026 · 26 min
Volkswagen is preparing to quit building cars at four German factories. Every one of them builds EVs. Lees meer
On Thursday this week, in Wolfsburg, Volkswagen's supervisory board voted unanimously — a day ahead of schedule — to approve something called Future Plan 2030.
50,000 more job cuts by the end of the decade. The model range gutted and cut roughly in half by 2035. And four German plants placed under a review that could end vehicle production at all of them.
Those four plants are Emden. Zwickau. Hanover. And Audi's Neckarsulm.
Zwickau was the first large car factory in Europe converted entirely to electric vehicles and Emden was the second. Hanover currently builds the ID. Buzz whilst Neckarsulm builds the e-tron GT and the A6 e-tron.
Volkswagen spent something like 2.2bn euros converting Zwickau and Emden alone.
Six years later, the company says it cannot demonstrate a competitive future use for either of them.
So the question isn't "is Volkswagen in trouble."We knew that already.
The question is why the factories it electrified hardest are the ones it now says it can’t justify - and what that tells you about how Europe built its EV industrial policy.

ev.news Tech: When It Comes To Battery Health, High Mileage Is Not A Scary Number
4 september 2026 · 16 min
Buying a used EV still comes with one major concern: what condition is the battery actually in? Lees meer
A major new dataset from Austrian battery diagnostics company AVILOO, covering more than 500,000 battery-health tests across 20 popular EV models, suggests the picture is considerably better than many buyers might expect.
Even at 150,000 kilometres, median usable battery capacity across the models studied remained at roughly 87–94%.
But averages only tell part of the story.
Individual cars of the same model, age and mileage can have substantially different battery health, making traditional measures such as mileage a surprisingly poor guide to the condition of a used EV.
In this episode of ev.news Tech, I speak with Nathan Gore-Brown from TestEV, AVILOO’s distributor in Australia and New Zealand, about what actually determines EV battery ageing and how buyers can protect themselves.
TestEV is a Premium Partner of ev.news but this is not a paid promotion. I genuinely wanted to get Nathan's view on this as an insider.
The central conclusion is not a simplistic one: high mileage doesn't automatically mean a worn-out EV battery. Most batteries in this dataset appear to be ageing relatively slowly, but individual condition matters far more than the odometer alone.
For anyone buying a used electric car, an independent battery-health test may therefore be one of the most useful checks to make before money changes hands.

BEVS BECOME UKS LEADING POWER SOURCE DESPITE INDUSTRY PUSHBACK
Battery electric vehicles took 30% of the UK car market in August, up from 23% a year earlier, making BEVs the largest single powertrain category ahead of hybrids at 29%, petrol at 22% and PHEVs at 14%, with plug-ins combined reaching 44%. The performance is comfortably ahead of the effective 24.6% target New AutoMotive calculates for this year, yet the government has opened a consultation on relaxing its EV rules under carmaker pressure — a move that could backfire, given Chinese manufacturers now hold 28% of Europe's PHEV segment, up 60% year on year, with PHEVs making up 60% of BYD's European registrations.STELLANTIS SETS NOVEMBER JEEP, MID-APRIL RAM PRODUCTION
A supplier memo reviewed by Automotive News schedules electrified Jeep Grand Wagoneer production for November, six months later than the planned May start, and Ram 1500 REV production for mid-April, a nine-month slip from mid-2026 for a pickup originally due in 2025 as the Ramcharger. Stellantis maintains both extended-range models are on track — Jeep this year, Ram in 2027 — with the Grand Wagoneer built in Warren, Michigan alongside its petrol version and the Ram at Sterling Heights, delays that two supplier executives attribute to ensuring smooth launches.PHEVS EMIT 4.6 TIMES OFFICIAL CO₂ VALUES
Plug-in hybrids registered in 2023 emitted 4.6 times their official CO₂ values in real-world driving, up from 3.5 times for 2021 registrations, according to an International Council on Clean Transportation study of nearly 920,000 vehicles that found longer electric range has coincided with less actual e… -

Scout Motors has revealed the Mountainside and Trail-ready concepts based on its Traveler electric SUV, debuting at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Labor Day Experience, with the rugged Trail-ready wearing Galvanized Steel paint, a Canvas roof, full-metal bumpers, elevated roof rack with trail lights, front winch, 18-inch beadlock wheels, 35-inch off-road tyres and a brick-red leather Denim District interior, while the refined Mountainside uses Morning Dusk charcoal-brown paint with gold flakes, 22-inch dish wheels, light-brown leather, grey fabric and recycled walnut trim. Scout has not confirmed whether either will be sold as a package or which features are optional; Traveler production starts next year with deliveries from 2028, and the range-extended Harvester, using a four-cylinder generator and 63kWh LFP pack for a claimed 500 miles, launches before the battery-electric version.FRANCE BEV…

JLR LAUNCHES ELECTRIC RANGE ROVER FROM £154k
Land Rover's first fully electric Range Rover arrives next year from £154,070 (about $208,473), using a 120kWh battery and two motors producing 542bhp, with a WLTP range of 372 miles and claimed real-world range of 330 miles. Built on the MLA-Flex architecture designed from the outset for battery power, it weighs around 2885kg but sits 88mm lower in centre of gravity than the V8, retains 900mm wading depth (960mm practical), and tows 2500kg versus 3500kg for the combustion model, with JLR's analysis of 360 million customer journeys concluding it suits 97% of them.NORWAY ELECTRIC CARS REACH NEW RECORD
Battery-electric cars took a record 98.7% of Norway's 13,451 new passenger-car registrations in August, up from 96.9% a year earlier and 97.6% in July, according to the Norwegian Road Traffic Information Council. Volkswagen led brands and the ID.4 led models ahead of the Toyota bZ4X and BMW iX3, while Xpeng and BYD together took 11.4% of the market against 4.9% in August 2025.VOLVO EX30 GAINS V2L IN SOFTWARE UPDATE
Volvo has added vehicle-to-load charging to the EX30 via an over-the-air update, delivering up to 3kW at 16 amps through a separate adapter connected to the charge port, with supply cutting off automatically below 20% battery. The feature will not be offered in the US, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan or Japan, and arrives alongside a customisable contextual bar, redesigned settings menu and Plug & Charge in some European markets for model-year 2026 cars onwards.RENAULT SCENIC LONG RANGE REACHES 399 MILES

VOLKSWAGEN EXPECTED TO DEBUT ID. TIGUAN NEXT MONTH
Volkswagen is expected to unveil the ID. Tiguan next month as the replacement for the ID.4 and ID.5, abandoning its numbered naming scheme in favour of established petrol nameplates alongside the ID.3 Neo, ID. Polo and ID. Cross. Prototype footage published by Autogefühl shows a wider, more conventional body closer to the petrol Tiguan with pop-out door handles replacing flush units, and the car is expected to use the MEB+ platform with a new cabin design, updated infotainment and the return of physical climate buttons.SLATE REPORTEDLY PLANS $3,000 CARGO TOPPER FOR ALL BUYERS
Slate Auto reportedly plans a cargo topper kit available to all buyers rather than fleet customers alone, offered in standard square-back and high-roof forms in white and black from around $3,000, according to the Instagram account Slate Auto Mods citing fleet and government sales lead Christian Kreipke. Kreipke also reportedly said the next-generation Slate will retain the same basic design dimensions, an assurance that costs the company nothing but protects the aftermarket upfitters whose tooling depends on that consistency.CALIFORNIA SENDS 1,200-WATT PLUG-IN SOLAR BILL TO NEWSOM

VOLKSWAGEN TURNS ID.BUZZ INTO CALIFORNIA CRUISE
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has unveiled the fully electric ID. California Cruise in Düsseldorf, offered in short- and long-wheelbase forms with 79 kWh and 86 kWh batteries respectively, sleeping accommodation for two, and first deliveries due in early 2027 from €60,761 (about $70,800). Standard kit includes the Interior Style and Comfort Packages plus the PowerSocket vehicle-to-load adapter, which delivers 2 kW continuous and 3.6 kW peak power, while California Mode keeps USB ports live and air conditioning running at sleeping temperature for up to 48 hours depending on charge and outside conditions.MERCEDES-AMG CLA 45 IS A DIFFERENT BEAST
The electric Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 saloon is on sale in the UK at £66,750 (about $90,660), matching the outgoing petrol car's price and undercutting the plug-in hybrid C63 by £34,000 for comparable output, with the Shooting Brake £1000 more and the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N its nearest rival at £65,800. Three Yasa axial-flux motors produce 671bhp for a 3.0sec 0-62mph time in the 2.3-tonne saloon, with claimed ranges of 416 and 398 miles, 330kW charging giving 10-80% in 22 minutes, a rear-axle drift mode, and deliveries starting next year.51% OF U.S. CONSUMERS WOULD CONSIDER A CHINA-MADE VEHICLE
A Dave Cantin Group market outlook report found 51% of U.S. consumers would consider a China-made vehicle despite Chinese brands not being sold there, with willingness at 77% among under-35s versus 36% among those 55 and older, driven by affordability as average transaction prices sit near $50,000 and monthly payments run far above five-year-ago levels.

HYUNDAI PLANS 41 EUROPEAN MODELS BY 2030
Hyundai and Genesis will launch 41 new or updated models in Europe by 2030, targeting more than 420,000 EV sales a year against 116,000 in 2025, with Ioniq 3 production having started at İzmit on 14 August and a small electric SUV, a mid-sized electric SUV and commercial vehicles to follow. CEO José Muñoz said Europe is one of the most competitive regions on the planet and that every EV credit protects the ICE and hybrid business, while the claimed 30% battery-cost reduction is a planned saving on 2027 models using mid-nickel NCM cells rather than an achieved one.HYUNDAI CLAIMS MORE THAN 600 MILES FOR SANTA FE EREV
Hyundai's first range-extender EV, the Santa Fe EREV, is due in North America in the first half of 2027 with a claimed 600-plus miles of total range from a battery less than half the size of a comparable EV's, using electric motors for drive and an engine solely as a generator. Production begins in Alabama in early 2027, with Hyundai expecting EREVs to matter more in North America than in Europe, and an Ioniq V EREV planned for China plus a Genesis EREV in early 2027.HYUNDAI PLANS INTERMEDIATE N PERFORMANCE TIER
Hyundai is creating an unnamed performance tier between N Line trims and full N models, using N powertrains but at lower cost and better suited to daily driving. It sees the high-volume middle ground as a sales opportunity that could also free the flagship N cars, such as the Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N, to become more track-focused, though no technical details have been disclosed.HYUNDAI SELECTS KALUZA FOR SMART CHARGING

RENAULT 5 GAINS RANGE AND LFP ENTRY VERSION
Renault has updated the electric Renault 5, lifting the 40 kWh Urban Range to 315 km (196 miles) and the 52 kWh Comfort Range to 430 km (267 miles) from 410 km, crediting a lower ride height, redesigned mirrors and optimised battery electronics. In markets including France, the 70 kW/40 kWh version is replaced by an entry model pairing an 80 kW "Gen 2 Evo" motor from the Twingo E-Tech with a 36.5 kWh cell-to-pack LFP battery for up to 305 km (190 miles), 6.6 kW AC and 80 kW DC charging, with Google's Gemini assistant arriving over the air and the range shown at the Paris Motor Show from 12 to 18 October 2026.CHINESE AUTOMAKERS PLAN 1.5 MILLION EUROPEAN OUTPUT BY 2035
Mobility Global forecasts Chinese brands will build about 90,000 vehicles in Europe this year, rising to 1 million by 2030 and 1.5 million by 2035, with roughly half of the 2030 output coming from Spain as BYD starts Hungarian production this autumn, Chery assembles Jaecoo and Omoda in Barcelona, Leapmotor uses Stellantis' Zaragoza plant, MG plans a Galicia plant for 2028 and Geely forms a Ford joint venture in Valencia (66% Ford, 34% Geely) operating from the first half of 2027. The push comes ahead of the EU's proposed Industrial Accelerator Act, which would attach "Made in EU" tests to public procurement, state support and CO₂ super-credits rather than impose a general local-content rule, while economists warn Europe risks becoming a final-assembly site without winning higher-value manufacturing and supply-chain jobs.FIAT 500E LEADS OWNERSHIP COST STUDY

WALMART OPENS 100TH FAST-CHARGING STATION
Walmart has opened its 100th branded EV fast-charging station at its Monument, Colorado Supercenter, extending a network that now covers 20 states — up from 17 a month earlier — despite the retailer having no branded chargers less than two years ago. The four-stall site uses ABB Mobility all-in-one dispensers delivering up to 400 kW with NACS and CCS1 connectors and app-only payment, part of a rollout that added 612 stalls in the first half of 2026 and ranked second only to Tesla for new ports energised in Q2, at an average $0.43 per kWh with 10% off for Walmart+ members.HYUNDAI OPENS IONIQ V PRE-SALES IN CHINA
Beijing Hyundai has begun pre-sales of the Ioniq V at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show ahead of a September launch, priced from 119,900 yuan (about $17,300) to 139,900 yuan across three versions, with up to 650 km of CLTC range, an 800-volt E-GMP architecture, CATL LFP batteries of 53.5 or 66.8 kWh and single motors of 140 or 168 kW. It is the first production Ioniq developed in China, using a 27-inch 4K Snapdragon 8295 screen, Momenta highway L2+ assistance and Baidu and ByteDance AI infotainment, as Hyundai targets 20 electrified models and 500,000 annual Chinese sales by 2030.POLESTAR CLAIMS UNEQUAL US TREATMENT
Polestar has accused the US Commerce Department of "disparate treatment" after a June 24 denial blocked its American sales from model year 2027, noting that Volvo — which shares Chinese majority owner Geely and builds the Polestar 3 on the same South Carolina line — was authorised earlier in 2026. In an Aug. 18 letter, Peter Wexler said the 13-month review dismissed … -

U.S. EV SALES STABILISE AS USED DEMAND GROWS
U.S. new EV sales hit an estimated 77,266 units in July, up 3.2% from June but 41.5% below July 2025, a drop distorted by last year's rush to beat the expiring federal tax credit, with EVs taking 5.6% of new-vehicle sales and Tesla holding roughly 55% on 42,435 sales. Used EV sales rose to 36,810 units, up 7.9% month over month and 10.1% year over year, while new EV inventory fell to 80 days, average new EV transaction prices reached $56,126 and used EV listings averaged $37,832.BMW CLAIMS ELECTRIC RANGE RECORD
A BMW engineer drove a Neue Klasse iX3 1,030.2 km (640 miles) from Shenyang to Beijing on a single charge with five percent battery left, which BMW calls a record for its battery-electric models while stressing the extreme-range test does not reflect everyday driving. The car uses BMW's sixth-generation 800V battery system with high-nickel large cylindrical cells in a module-free cell-to-pack design, and reservations open at the Chengdu Auto Show on Aug. 21 as BMW's Chinese sales fall 20.4% year over year to 262,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026.CANADIAN ZEV SALES REBOUND IN JUNE
Canadian zero-emission vehicle sales reached 21,876 in June 2026, up 56.1 per cent year over year and taking 11.5 per cent of the market, the best month since December 2024 and part of a 7.3 per cent rise in overall sales that ended eight months of decline. The rebound followed the federal government's resumption of rebates in February 2026, offering up to $5,000 off a battery-electric vehicle and $2,500 off a plug-in hybrid, suggesting incentives still drive adoption.OCTOPUS LAUNCHES …

IONNA AND WALMART PRESSURE FAST-CHARGING PRICES
Walmart is expanding its own network with Electrify America, ABB and 400-kW Alpitronic NACS/CCS chargers offering Walmart+ members 10% off, while automaker-backed Ionna targets 30,000 US and Canadian ports by 2030 with stores and restrooms. Paren data shows Ionna averages $0.37/kWh, the cheapest of 17 networks and about 40% below Tesla and Electrify America's $0.56, though home charging still dominates at more than 90% of sessions and $0.18/kWh.ZEEKR TO LAUNCH 8X AND 9X IN AUSTRALIA
Zeekr will add the 9X and 8X luxury plug-in hybrid SUVs to its all-electric Australian range from late 2026 into 2027, after passing 10,000 local sales in under two years. The three-row 8X targets the BMW X5 and Range Rover Sport below A$100,000 with 900-volt charging, while the 9X moves upmarket at around A$150,000 with six-seat luxury and Naim audio; both are heavy, road-focused monocoque vehicles rather than off-roaders.LI SHUFU LEAVES GEELY AUTO CHAIR
Li Shufu has resigned as chairman of Geely Automobile after 40 years, with An Conghui succeeding him on 18 August 2026 and Li becoming honorary chairman for life while remaining controlling shareholder and chairman of Zhejiang Geely Holding. Gan Jiayue becomes CEO as the group shifts from family-centred management toward professional systems, targeting two-thirds of sales outside China and 5% market share by 2030 across Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia.LEIPZIG PREPARES FOR NEUE KLASSE
