Show #803
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 8th June 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.

Welcome to a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER via Patreon DAVID MOORE
Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and hel p you learn about EVs along the way too.
TESLA MODEL Y CUSTOMERS IN CANADA PREPARE FOR DELIVERY
“Model Y reservation holders are seeing new fields to be filled in within their accounts online at Tesla.com. Tesla is asking for registrant type (one or two people or a company), registration address, trade-in details and also payment method for Model Y. Existing Tesla customers are most likely familiar with these steps, but for new customers, the process inches the process closer ahead of deliveries slated in June. For payment method, Tesla offers options for cash, a loan arranged through the company or a self-arranged loan. The placeholder annual percentage rate (APR) is noted as 4.6%, although after submitting a credit application with Tesla, this rate may change.” Says iPhone for Canada: “Last week, the Tesla retail location in West Vancouver confirmed the first Model Y deliveries in Canada would take place in June. Model Y currently starts at $75,990 in Canada for the Long Range All-Wheel Drive version, with the Standard range (rear-wheel drive) set to begin in “early 2021”, according to Tesla’s website.”
Via Reddit: "Yay! Got the email I was waiting for today!
Asked to upload driver's license, select trade-in and payment options!

We're getting closer, fellow Canucks! "
MODEL Y PRODUCTION CHANGED TO BEGIN 2022 FOR EUROPE
"Last week when I checked, the Tesla Model Y production was set for begin 2021. Today I checked and it changed to begin 2022. I don't know if this is only for Belgium, but almost 2 years is very long imo."
"Still says early 2021 when I try to configure for Switzerland."
CANADA: PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CAR SALES INCREASED BY 50% IN Q1 2020
"Plug-in electric car sales substantially improved in Canada during the first three months of 2020, according to the report provided by Electric Mobility Canada. The total volume of all-electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hydrogen fuel cell (FCVs) cars - although probably not many FCVs - amounted to 11,978, which is about 50% more than in Q1 2019 (7,999)." says InsideEVs: "It will be hard to improve from that point in Q2, as we know how devastating the COVID-19 lockdown was for the automotive market, but at least the plug-in market share will be high. Already, March brought a noticeable spike of 5.6% - the new all-time record. In terms of the most popular models - the Tesla Model 3 is second to none with 4,025 sales in Q1, more than three times above the 2nd best (Toyota Prius Prime). Top BEVs: Tesla Model 3: 4,025. Chevrolet Bolt EV: 1,031. Nissan LEAF: 701"

AUDI'S PLUG-IN HYBRID A6 GOES ON SALE COSTING JUST UNDER £53,000
"The order books have now opened for Audi’s new plug-in hybrid A6 executive saloon, which costs £52,790 in its cheapest guise. Dubbed the 50 TFSI e, the newcomer will offer an all-electric range of 34 miles per charge, while Audi hopes company car drivers will be enticed by the 10-percent Benefit-in-Kind tax rate." according to Motor1.com: "Initially available solely as a saloon, with an ‘Avant’ estate to follow later, the car comes with a 2-litre petrol engine and an electric motor to create a four-wheel-drive, four-door luxury car with 295 bhp. That means it can manage the sprint from nought to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds. Owners will also be able to take advantage of Audi’s e-tron charging service, which grants access to 18 charging networks across the UK and amalgamates all costs incurred in one monthly invoice."

ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE CARS: WILL AN EV EVER REALLY DELIVER?
"Can a real evo car really ever be powered by electricity? It's an argument that's been ranging between enthusiasts from all parts of the automotive world, but whichever side of the argument you find yourself on, the industry has had no choice but to cautiously go ahead develop them anyway." writes evo.co.uk: "The way a Tesla launches from a standstill will churn your stomach, but its real party trick is the way it responds with perfect linearity and imperceptible delay to movements of your right foot. To assume it’s all about straight lines is to do such response a disservice too – think instead of the accuracy to which you could adjust a car’s line mid-corner or over-rotate its rear tyres on the way out. Electrification means the end of being in the wrong gear for a corner (or worse, the car selecting one of umpteen wrong gears itself), and of wobbly torque curves. That’s without the potential offered by torque-vectoring set-ups too, something electric motors can do with greater fidelity and intensity than any conglomeration of differentials and clutch packs. Had technology stopped at some arbitrary point in the past we’d have been denied some amazing cars. We’d be denied some amazing EVs if we collectively decided now that internal combustion was all that mattered for the thrill of driving."

ABB PARTNERS WITH VIGOR SELECTS ABB AS PROPULSION AND ENERGY STORAGE PARTNER FOR HYBRID-ELECTRIC FERRIES
"American shipbuilding company Vigor Fab LLC has selected ABB as the hybrid-electric propulsion and energy storage system provider for the newest additions to the Washington State Ferry fleet—the largest US ferry system." according to Green Car Congress: "The new Olympic Class ferries, which will have the capacity to carry 144 cars and 1,500 passengers each, mark a new era for the Washington State transport operator in the shift toward technologies that enable significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel use. The new vessels will be able to fully operate on battery power and will have the capability to revert to hybrid mode, if required. The battery power can also extend zero-emissions capability along the supply chain by using renewables and hydroelectric power. Figures from trade association Interferry indicate that ferries transport 2.1 billion passengers and 250 million vehicles worldwide every year. As numbers increase, the sector is under pressure to meet International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) targets to reduce annual emissions by 30% by 2025."

THIS EV BARGE CONCEPT TAKES BATTERY-SWAPPING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL
"A group of companies, including Wärtsilä, ING Bank, Engie, and the Port of Rotterdam Authority, launched a new consortium - the Zero Emission Services B.V. (ZES), with the goal to develop zero-emission inland waterway shipping in the Netherlands. The idea is to develop a fully electric barge with replaceable battery containers "ZESPacks", which would be able to go 50-100 km (31-62 miles) and then swap the pack... containers for a fully charged." says InsideEVs: "A single ZESPack would have a capacity of about 2 MWh, while the power needed by the arge is usually 500-1,000 kW. It means 2-4 hours of work between swaps.The cool thing about the concept is that it allows keeping the costs of barges under control (compared to a long-range version), allows use of renewable electricity and utilizes the ZESPack as energy storage for grid purposes when not in use for a while."

ENEL X EXPANDED ITS EV CHARGING NETWORK TO OVER 30,000 PUBLIC CHARGING POINTS
Enel X expanded its EV charging network to more than 30,000 public charging points, roughly a threefold increase from about 10,500 already available, by kicking off eRoaming connectivity with Dutch EV network operator Allego as well as Robert Bosch GmbH and German company Innogy.
Under the framework of the Hubject e-mobility platform, this collaboration now allows Enel X JuicePass app users to fill up their EVs, without signing new contracts, in the charging points operated by Allego, Bosch and Innogy, on a network of more than 19,500 points in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
Allego’s EU network has over 15,000 public charging points available via Hubject, over 1,000 of which are Fast (50 to 175 kW) and 200 are Ultra-Fast (175 to 350 kW), all installed in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK. Similarly, the Innogy network has around 5,000 public charging points, 4,000 of them available via the Hubject network, of which 300 are Fast (50 to 175 kW). Bosch operates a network of around 550 charging points, also available via Hubject. The networks operated by both Bosch and Innogy are installed throughout Germany.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
How far does a plug-in hybrid need to drive on EV power only?
