【Tesla】
Tesla has announced its V4 Supercharger cabinets capable of delivering 500 kW for cars and 1.2 MW for Semi trucks. The first installations require permitting, with expected openings next year. Tesla's new Oasis Supercharger project focuses on larger solar arrays and battery packs for more off-grid operations. Tesla has also updated its Full Self-Driving software to use end-to-end neural networks for highway driving, enhancing smoothness and safety. Additionally, Tesla's support for ending the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, despite potential negative impacts on the industry, might be a strategic negotiation move for other benefits.
【BYD】
BYD continues to lead China’s NEV market with 32.9% market share and over half of the top 20 best-selling EV models.
【Others】
Hyundai is preparing to launch its AI-powered EV in China, aiming to counter BYD's dominance. The model will feature generative AI and is expected to debut next year. Meanwhile, Kia plans to reveal a new EV at the LA Auto Show, likely the EV3 electric SUV with its US market launch imminent. Kia remains committed to its 1.6 million EV sales target by 2030, introducing low-cost models like the EV3 to strengthen demand. CHN Energy has connected solar units from its 1 GW offshore solar farm, the world's largest, to China's grid, combining renewable energy with fish farming. Kia is advancing its EV lineup, with a new EV potentially debuting at the LA Auto Show. The EV3, with strong early demand, is expected to impact the market with its competitive pricing. National Grid Renewables began construction on its 100 MW Apple River Solar Project in Wisconsin, providing clean energy and generating significant economic benefits. BETA Technologies has achieved a milestone with the first test flight of its production ALIA eCTOL electric aircraft, aiming for commercial operations by 2025. Jaguar's new electric 4-door GT prototype, marking its transition to an all-electric luxury brand by 2025, was spotted testing, showcasing a radical design shift. Michigan is expanding its wireless EV charging infrastructure through a partnership with Electreon and Xos, aiming to lead in sustainable transportation solutions. The US federal tax credit for EVs remains up to $7,500 under the Inflation Reduction Act, with terms extending to 2032. The credit is contingent on vehicle assembly and battery component sourcing in North America. Used EVs can qualify for credits up to $4,000, with specific eligibility criteria.
