“… family-oriented, tech-forward EV adopters. It places the car in the sporty, urban end of the lineups out there. Okay, the competition? I'll assume Porsche Macan, Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3, Xiaomi YU7, if you want. Kyle also reported ample second-row headroom. He's a big fella. And I know that because I was with him last year for the Goodwood when he was over for that in the UK. And extended glass roof. Lucid has pushed the A-pillar glass really far forward to improve visibility and blind spot. Insanely large rear cargo space with loads of underfloor storage. Lucid credit the small new drive unit. …”
“… with a cab forward silhouette, long aerodynamic tail, sharp lighting signatures, and a rear end he called totally unique. Lucid aims the Cosmos at upscale nurturers, whoever they are, but it's a demographic they're aiming at, which it describes as family-oriented, tech-forward EV adopters. It places the car in the sporty, urban end of the lineups out there. Okay, the competition? I'll assume Porsche Macan, Tesla Model Y, BMW iX3, Xiaomi YU7, if you want.

Lucid has pushed the A-pillar glass really far forward to improve visibility and blind spot. Insanely large rear cargo space with loads of underfloor storage. Lucid credit the small new drive unit. They're calling the Atlas drive units. To make that possible, 800-volt architecture under the skin, permanent magnet, rear motor, induction motor at the front. Both come with the Atlas drive units. The charging port is going to be J3400, of course. It's on the rear driver's side, which is great if you're going to be using the Tesla supercharger …”

“… China speed, which means 30 months from sign-off to market. Now, we'll finish off by talking about Italy. They now host the world's first official Porsche club only for electric cars. It's called the, and I'll try and do this with enough Italian flair, Registro Italiano Emotion. It's won official recognition from Porsche. It began as a chat group back in 2021, post-lockdowns, when the club formed for Italian Taycan owners to compare notes on charging their cars and software updates. And with backing from Porsche Italia, they've now formalized into an official Porsche club. I love that. Registro …”

And with backing from Porsche Italia, they've now formalized into an official Porsche club. I love that. Registro Italiano Emotion had their first convoy, their first tour. And it wasn't about going quickly or doing a particular distance, but 131 participants and 73 vehicles, obviously all Taycans and Macans at this stage, drove across the Alps from the Porsche Experience Centre in northern Italy to Salzburg in Austria to a very historical place, the Hans-Peter …”

“… the turbo ends up in this, like the oil-cooled system for the rear axle motor and more thermal resilience at performance driving. Buyers can add the Porsche torque vectoring package for rear diff control, Porsche's active ride, adaptive dampers, ceramic brakes, and more as well, and even a push-to-pass function for another 120 horsepower for 10 seconds. You can order it now. It's £99,000 or US$128,000, above the Cayenne Electric's £86,000. If you need to ask the price on this one, chances are you probably can't afford it. We'll come back.

“… miles an hour, 3.6 seconds, 155 miles an hour top speed. Like the other cars in the Cayenne range, 108 kilowatt hour usable pack, peak DC charging, 400 kilowatts. Nice! 16 minutes, 10 to 80.

The Porsche Cayenne S boasts over 500 horsepower and can launch from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, making it a thrilling road trip vehicle. With advanced features like a dual-motor all-wheel drive and a 108 kWh battery, it combines luxury with cutting-edge performance. Starting at $128,000, it's a high-end choice for those who crave speed and sophistication.
“… engine's very, very quiet. You can't really hear it come on, to recharge the battery. So almost 1,000 horsepower, 0-62 in 3.3 seconds. So that's a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT kind of level. But this is a 2.6-ton Lotus Electra. 70 kilowatt hour pack, 900 volts architecture, and 80% charge in nine minutes. Over on the EV News China channel, I think I reported this is either a 9C or a 12C battery. It's ridiculously fast charging and discharging. And so a real world electric range would be around 150 miles. So that's fine for many people. Two-litre engine recharges that as a generator, but it can clutch …”
“… electric Cayenne segment, they've had to do something different. And you could look at this as taking a step back. I would understand that viewpoint. The Electra X has an engine, but the numbers are very loud, even if the reviewers of Top Gear say the engine's very, very quiet. You can't really hear it come on, to recharge the battery.

Two-litre engine recharges that as a generator, but it can clutch into the front wheels through a single-speed transmission at motorway speeds. That's actually quite efficient, an efficient way to do high speeds. Lotus calls the underpinning a new Geely platform, but with new front-end structures, a new floor, a new suspension geometry. The Zika 9X shares a version of the platform and drivetrain. Otherwise, it …”

The Lotus Electra X combines nearly 1,000 horsepower with a unique engine setup, redefining luxury EV performance. Launching in China before the UK in early 2027, it features rapid charging and impressive acceleration, but raises questions about Lotus's future in the EV market. Will this hybrid approach attract traditional Lotus buyers or signal a retreat from pure electric ambitions?
“… Li Auto responded at the time by challenging Volkswagen to a real-world comparison, saying that the Li One was better than an Audi Q7 e-tron or a Porsche Cayenne e-hybrid on fuel consumption. And in December 2021, the CEO, Li Xiang, said that Li One volumes exceeded the combined sales of all Volkswagen SUVs in China and wasn't shy at pointing that out. Volkswagen's product plans put the shift in clear view. In 2026, it plans six EVs, including two E-Revs, three plug-in hybrids and one BEV.”
“… Auto has gone big on e-revs and didn't probably appreciate, at the time, Volkswagen throwing some shade at them. So they waited and sat out their hands. And then when the moment was right, they pointed out perhaps some hypocrisy on Volkswagen's part.

California's proposed billionaire tax could lead to a staggering $24.7 billion loss for the state, according to a comprehensive study. The research indicates that 71% of scenarios show a negative net present value, meaning the tax would not only fail to generate revenue but also drive wealthy individuals out of the state. This situation highlights the misconception that taxing the rich will solve economic issues, as it may lead to more financial instability instead.
“Porsche is exploring a plan to merge Taycan and Panamera, offering a unified range. Today, the two cars are on separate platforms, obviously separate names. Taycan is a J1 platform like the Audi e-tron GT. Panamera uses something different, the same as the Bentley Continental GT. Porsche had planned to move a next-generation Taycan to SSP Sport from the Volkswagen Group Mothership, but thanks to reasons, I think software links at Cariad, that keeps …”

Redwood Materials is revolutionizing battery recycling by finding that old EV batteries are often more valuable than expected. Instead of tearing them down, they now assess their capacity and repurpose them for energy storage, creating the world's largest Second Life energy storage system in Texas. This innovative approach could change how we think about battery life cycles and recycling in the EV industry.
“… sedan, it is certainly a sporty car, but because it's a sedan, adding that level of practicality, it's not really the same thing. Especially because Porsche tried to go electric with their sports car and over the last few months has repeatedly been walking back the actual desire to do that to the point where it's now kind of starting to become clear there may not even be an electric version of the next box. Yeah. Is the Mission X, Mission E, the F80 competitor, the W1 competitor just completely canceled at this point? Yeah, that's gone. I don't know if they've officially said that, but yes, that is …”
