Welcome back to EV News Daily. Coming up today, global EV sales hit an all-time high.

Hyundai has a plan for affordable batteries and the Escalade IQ sells for $550,000.

Plus, stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you why Tesla were forced into giving us more specific details about the Cyber Robo Cab Taxi.

If you want to split £100, if you move to Octopus Energy and use my referral code,

you can help keep the lights on here because I get 50 quid,

and you get a great welcome bonus as well.

£50 gets you well underway with your next lecky bill.

You can click on a link in the show notes at the very top,

and that is my referral code only for friends though so don't

go sharing that around to everybody that you know if you want to move to octopus i reckon a couple of

bonus shows coming later today i want to have a look at some of the cars revealed so far and what

we've learned from the paris motor show because it's a good old-fashioned motor show with cars being

unveiled and sharing the spotlight with all the others, but there's loads of vibe around

it, and particularly at the more affordable end of the market. And I'll try and make a bonus show as well

about a 25,000 mile review of the MGZSEV, first edition, and that went live today on Richard's website.

So if you know RSEV, Richard Simons, they are a sponsor of this podcast,

but obviously got a massive YouTube channel as well. They're in New Milton, not too far from me.

And I said to Richard, hey, would you mind marketing the MG that we're selling?

Because this is you're an expert at this and he has made the car look

m-m-h-huffe kiss better than I could have possibly dreamed of making it look so it's just

gone on live on his website at RSEV I've got it on for 11250 which blows my mind how cheap that

is for a you know 40 kilowatt hour plus big family car that will, you know, reads 160 miles in the summer and will fast charge at 70, 80 kilowatts.
