Renault Twingo E‑Tech launch
Renault will unveil the new Twingo E‑Tech on 6 November, starting below £17,000 with UK deliveries in 2026. Built on the Ampr Small platform and targeting 6.2 miles per kWh, it aims to combine efficiency, affordability, and rapid production turnaround.
Ferrari Elettrica revealed
Ferrari’s first EV, the Elettrica, is a four‑door, four‑motor GT producing over 1,000 hp and 0–62 mph in 2.5 seconds. With 323‑mile range and advanced in‑house engineering, it showcases Ferrari’s blend of luxury innovation in electric form.
Rivian adopts Google Gemini AI
Rivian is replacing Alexa with Google’s Gemini AI for a more advanced in‑vehicle assistant that manages navigation, messaging, and media naturally. The new system keeps Rivian’s software platform independent while enhancing control and integration.
Rivian CEO confident for R2
CEO RJ Scaringe says development of Rivian’s $45,000 R2 compact EV is on track for 2026, marking his highest confidence in the company’s future. Backed by Amazon and Volkswagen, Rivian aims to expand EV accessibility through advanced, software‑led design.
Volvo EX40 to use SPA3
Volvo’s upcoming EX40 will debut the SPA3 platform with cell‑to‑body batteries, new motors and megacasting for major cost and efficiency gains. Launching in 2027 under $50,000, it will offer up to 350 miles of range and support future‑ready tech.
Tesla trims Model 3 features
Tesla’s new base Model 3 and Model Y remove certain comfort and powered features to cut cost and entry price. The pared‑back design lowers prices to make ownership more accessible, though with slightly reduced performance and range.
BYD sales surge overseas
BYD’s September German registrations jumped 2,225% year‑on‑year, driving European growth despite softer China demand. Overseas sales rose 123% to 697,000 units this year, reinforced by upcoming local assembly plants in Hungary, Brazil, and Uzbekistan.
Skoda overtakes BMW in German BEV sales
Skoda has climbed to second place in Germany’s BEV market behind Volkswagen with 34,567 sales, edging out BMW. Higher discounts and more choice are boosting EV market share while Tesla stabilizes after earlier dips.
Nissan third‑generation Leaf orders
Nissan will open Japan orders for its redesigned Leaf on 17 October, offering 702 km range and faster 35‑minute charging. Priced from about ¥5.2 million before subsidies, it signals Nissan’s renewed push for global EV leadership.
Ionity launches subscription plans
Ionity’s new Power 365 and Motion 365 plans offer fixed‑rate, transparent ultra‑rapid charging across Europe for 12 months at the price of 10. With access to 5,000 chargers, the subscriptions make long‑distance EV travel simpler and more predictable.
FedEx Australia adds 55 electric vehicles
FedEx has deployed 55 electric delivery vehicles across Australian cities, marking a shift from trials to daily operations. Using Fuso eCanters and Mercedes eSprinters, the rollout supports FedEx’s goal to fully electrify its fleet by 2040.
Fuell assets sold
Fuell, Erik Buell’s electric mobility firm, sold its assets for just $170,000 following bankruptcy and low awareness. The sale concludes a once‑promising venture, though a new owner could yet revive the innovative brand.
Pakistan’s fake “graphene” batteries issue
About 90% of Pakistan’s e‑bikes reportedly use mislabeled lead‑acid “graphene” batteries, undermining EV subsidy goals. Industry leaders are urging the government to shift incentives toward true lithium‑ion systems for quality and consumer protection.
