Welcome back to EV News Daily. Coming up today, the Ford F-150 Lightning's Tesla Conquest bonus.

Formula E give up on in-race charging and the solid-state batteries that are two years away for one car brand.

And stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you what the latest research says about how environmentally friendly plug-in hybrids are.

Well, good morning, good afternoon or good evening.

Wherever you are in the world, EV News Daily, is your trusted source of EV information for the last

working day of the week, Friday, 12th of April. I'm Martin Lee, and I go through every EV story,

so you don't have to. We're normally live at 5pm UK, midday Eastern, a bit later today

because of the Friday batteries, including podcasts that I do with the rest of the gang.

Let's kick off with some news from Polestar and their vehicle deliveries were in the first quarter of this year.

7,200 units, not all Polestar 2s, I must add. And these days

I'm a very happy Pohl Star 2 owner. I particularly like the car. I bought this used. It's a three-year-old

Pulse Star 2 that we got. It's a bit of a stellar deal that we got, which is why we bought it. I went

shopping from Model 3 and came home with a Polestar 2 from the auction.

But I'm thoroughly enjoying that.

However, they have seen a decrease in vehicle deliveries from 12,076 for the same period last year.

Well, Polestar has set a target of delivering between 155,000 and 165,000 cars by 2025, or the end of next year, I should say.

The newly launched Polestar 4, which I'll pop up on screen for our YouTube viewers,

had just 1,200 units delivered in China in the first quarter, but that does market's debut in

the market.

Polestar will start global deliveries of the Polestar 3 in the second quarter now that we're into that this year.
