Episode 32: New releases from Audi, Porsche and Hyundai, Jaguar to go all EV, BYD set for Australian launch

In this EPISODE:

Episode 32 is packed full of EV news, with the launch of Audi’s E-Tron GT, Porsche’s Taycan Cross Turismo, Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 and Volvo’s C40 Recharge crossover. Jaguar Land Rover prepares to go all-electric this decade, and Kia shares its new logo and electrification pledge.

With the transition to EVs well under way, we look at what that means for the future demand of nickel in the European Union, and German automotive component giant ZF Friedrichshafen ceases development on new internal combustion technology research and development as it prepares to serve BEV manufacturers.

China’s BYD has signed a right hand drive distribution deal with Australia’s Nexport, the first such deal signed globally, and Tesla has just gained approval to build the world’s largest Supercharger in Santa Monica, California.
