Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It’s Saturday 23rd April, it’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.
AUDI UPDATES U.S. EVS FOR 2023
- Audi of America today announced updates to its lineup for the 2023 model year, including pricing, vehicle packaging updates, and new standard and available equipment.
- Additionally, by the end of 2022, Audi plans to have more fully electric models on sale in the United States than any other luxury brand. The Audi e-tron, e-tron S, e-tron Sportback, e-tron S Sportback, Audi e-tron GT, and RS e-tron GT, will be joined by the Audi Q4 e-tron, and Q4 Sportback e-tron.
- . Standard on the e-tron Sportback Prestige trim are 22-inch 5-spoke-Turbine design bi-color wheels, dynamic orange front and rear brake calipers, rear side airbags with illuminated safety belt buckles, and Digital Matrix-design headlights.
- Following the introduction of Audi’s first electric grand tourer, the e-tron GT sees changes in exterior appearance as well as changes to packages and standard features.

HYUNDAI AND WE DRIVE SOLAR DEPLOY IONIQ 5S WITH V2G TECH IN THE NETHERLANDS
- Hyundai Motor Group and We Drive Solar have teamed up to help create a completely bi-directional region in the Dutch development district of Cartesius in Utrecht of the Netherlands. To begin, We Drive Solar has equipped 25 Hyundai IONIQ 5 BEVs with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology to send power back to homes and businesses in the region during peak energy hours.
- By implementing a holistic system of solar panels, charging stations, and shared vehicles with V2G capabilities like the modified IONIQ 5s, the companies seek to power 2,530 homes in Utrecht to create the “world’s first bi-directional city.”
- When vehicles do need to be used, residents of Utrecht will be able to drive a shared car through We Drive Solar, offering EVs like the IONIQ 5s equipped with V2G tech. The initial rollout is 25 BEVs, but Hyundai has already shared intentions to implement 150 over the course of 2022.
- In the Utrecht region, renewables like solar and wind power are the main sources of energy. That energy can then be stored in the battery packs of the IONIQ 5s to drive around as shared vehicles, but also use V2G capabilities to send that stored energy back to the city during peak hours.

TESLA FSD BETA 10.12 WILL RECEIVE MORE DETAILED VEHICLE MODELS
- The next iteration of Tesla's Full Self-Driving software, expected to be numbered 10.12, is supposedly making some improvements to the visualizations shown on the vehicle screen.
- Most notably, it will now display a new render for sedan-type vehicles that will show wheels and highlight open doors in yellow.
- Tesla has been gradually increasing the number of visualizations available on the car display, demonstrating what the car can perceive and respond to in its surroundings. In the beginning Tesla mainly displayed road markers and a few vehicles, and over time started to gradually add more types of vehicles, pedestrians, and traffic cones, speed bumps, even dogs.
- The 3D model Tesla uses to represent our vehicle on the display is much more detailed than other vehicle models. Tesla can make other vehicle models just as detailed, however they're purposely vague to represent any vehicle.

SAEMES TO INSTALL OVER 1,000 CHARGE POINTS IN PARIS CAR PARKS
- In Paris, a number of car parks are being equipped with 1,100 AC charging points for electric vehicles. The car park operator Saemes has chosen TotalEnergies and the telecommunications provider Sogetrel as partners for this project. Some charge points are already in operation.
- The largest completed project is the Madeleine-Tronchet car park in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, which now offers 505 charging points with outputs ranging from 7 kW to 22 kW. These are Type 2 wall boxes without a permanently attached cable
- The charging points are accessible via the TotalEnergies fleet card or other charging cards – ad-hoc charging is also possible via QR code and mobile website. Starting a charging process costs 0.50 euros, after which 0.40 euros (including VAT) is charged for each charged kilowatt-hour.
