It's TV news briefly for Thursday, 14th of March. I'll be back later with the full podcast at 5pm UK.

That's midday Eastern. But if you haven't got half an hour to spare today, in just five minutes,

here's everything that you need to know. VW launched the electric ID3 GTX, the ID3 GTX performance,

and the ID7 GTX Tora yesterday. So the ID3 GTX has a 282 horsepower motor

on the rear axle. Go performance and you get 5.6 seconds, not to 62 miles an hour and a bit

more of a power boost in there as well, 373 miles of range with only a 2 kilowatt

hour larger battery and DC fast charging of 175 kilowatts peak battery charging power. The ID7 GTX is the

spicy all-wheel drive version of the estate car. It has, again, dual motor, and it's got a

larger motor on the rear axle, smaller permanent magnet synchronous motor on the,

on the rear axle, asynchronous motor on the front axle, and so very efficient, still the

big cargo space of the non-GtX counterparts, the big 15-inch

screen, but something proper spicy from Volkswagen. Cars on sale in Europe, not America, later this year.

Polestar 3 has reduced its prices. The 2025 model year Polestar 3 in the US is about $5,000,

about $5,000 across the board.

And they've decontented it as well.

So you can now start at 74,800 for the long range, dual motor, and it comes with a pilot pack.

But now you can add the plus pack to go to 80 grand, or you can just get the performance

pack for 80, or you can get everything the performance pack for 80 or you can get

everything with pilot and plus and performance for 86 22 inch wheels huge amounts of power

517 horsepower in that pole star 3 not to 60 in 4.7 seconds crazy vehicle no federal tax credit

of course until they start making them in South Carolina this summer.

B.YD says they are setting their sights on the 5% share of the European EV market this year.
