Show #1018
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 11th March. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.
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 help you learn about EVs along the way too.
CANOO WANTS TO TAKE ON THE VW ID.BUZZ
"The start-up unveiled renderings of a planned electric model based on a commercial van it showed in 2019, featuring an expansive curved glass greenhouse and an expandable, six-foot-long cargo bed. Intended to ride on a "skateboard" platform to be shared with other vehicles, this particular design imagines a camper-style adventure vehicle that can house a tent above its truck bed, flip-down tables, and storage compartments making it the automotive equivalent of a Swiss Army knife." says Autoweek: "Inside the bubble-shaped trucklet are just two seat. Canoo has estimated a 200-mile range for this truck, putting an overland expedition out of the question, but a visit to a state park might still be achievable. For one thing, the vehicle in these photos is a rendering, meaning a photographable prototype likely doesn't yet exist. More importantly, Canoo needs to find a factory that will actually produce these. Canoo will have close to 10 other electric truck competitors targeting different buyers and wallets. "
And according to CNBC: "The flat front design, which is similar to a van, basically puts the driver almost on top of the truck’s front wheels, allowing for more storage space in the cab and the rear cargo bed. The electric pickup also features a front cargo storage area that, Canoo says, “can hold tools or gear, also includes a fold down worktable with electrical outlets."

TESLA MODEL S PLAID+ DELIVERIES EXTENDED TO MID-2022
"When Tesla first unveiled the new Plaid Model S variants earlier this year, CEO Elon Musk said the Plaid+ would begin deliveries late in 2021. Those deliveries would be preceded by the Plaid variant, which are expected to begin as soon as this month. If you place an order now, you will have to wait almost 18 months as Tesla has updated its online Design Studio. The timeline for Plaid+ orders placed today are expected to ship by mid-2022." says Drvie Tesla Candada: "The new delivery date could be a preemptive move by Tesla to push buyers towards the Plaid Model S, which will be available in just a few weeks. Performance wise the two cars are similar, but the Plaid+ will feature the new 4680 battery cells inside the new structural battery pack."
TESLA MODEL S SEES $10,000 PRICE INCREASE, MODEL Y AND MODEL 3 COST MORE
"The new price for the most powerful Model S now sits at $149,990 before a $1,200 destination charge. For this lofty sum, buyers still get a promised 520-plus mile range, a 200 mph top speed and 0-60 mph runs in less than 1.99 seconds, according to Tesla." says CNET: "The cheapest Model Y now costs $49,990 before destination with a $1,000 price increase, but the Model Y Performance holds tight at $60,990. For potential Model 3 customers, the price is now $37,490, an increase of $500 for the Standard Range Plus. The midtier Model 3 Long Range also gets a $500 increase and now costs $46,490. Like the Model Y Performance, the Model 3 Performance sticks to its previous price -- it still costs $55,990."

VW WILL NEED 300 GIGAWATT HOURS OF BATTERIES TO ACHIEVE ITS EV GOAL
"Last week, Volkswagen announced Strategy Accelerate, a plan to increase its market share of EVs to more than 70 percent in Europe by 2030, and over 50 percent in the US and China. If the company wants to achieve this, it will require about 300-gigawatt hours worth of batteries a year by the end of the decade. This is according to a report by Reuters. " and written up by INsideEVs: "By 2025, Volkswagen expects annual demand will be more than 150 GWh in Europe. The automaker currently has battery deals with LG Chem, Samsung SDI, SK Innovation, and CATL. Volkswagen’s Power Day is scheduled for March 15th, which is when Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess will outline the company's battery and charging infrastructure strategy. Analyst Arndt Ellinghorst reckons Volkswagen needs 420 gigawatt hours worth of battery cells globally by 2030 if it wants to sell 7 million battery electric vehicles, requiring more than 20 billion euros ($23.8 billion) in annual spending."
GE TO OPEN UK FACTORY TO BUILD MASSIVE HALIADE-X BLADES
"GE Renewable Energy will open a new blade manufacturing facility in Teesside in the northeast of England. LM Wind Power, a GE Renewable Energy business, will set up and operate the plant to produce blades for its Haliade-X turbine, the world’s most powerful wind turbine." says electrek: "They will power Equinor’s Dogger Bank, which will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm when completed in 2026. It will have a combined installed generation capacity of 3.6 GW, enough to power 6 million UK homes. GE will provide 13 MW (phases A and B) and 14 MW (phase C) Haliade-X turbines for Dogger Bank, as Electrek previously covered. The turbine blades are 107 meters (351 feet) long. The electricity generated by the Dogger Bank turbines, which are between 130 km (80 miles) and 200 km (124 miles) from shore, will be transmitted using subsea cables."
