| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to EV News Daily. Coming up today, the Ford Explorer EVV goes on sale in Europe. Tesla |
| 0:05.6 | starts Facebook advertising and Hyundai's major EV investment plan. Plus stay tuned because later in the |
| 0:11.7 | show, I'll tell you what the boss of CATL is saying about solid state batteries and he should know. |
| 0:17.8 | Well, good morning, good afternoon or good evening, wherever you are in the world. Welcome to Eap News Daily, your trusted source of EV information for Wednesday 27th of March. |
| 0:24.8 | I'm Martin Lee, and I go through every EVE story, so you don't have to. |
| 0:28.1 | We go live at 5pm, UK. That's normally midday Eastern, 1 o'clock at the minute because of the time difference. |
| 0:32.9 | Patreon supporters get the shows as soon as they're ready and add free. Be like them by clicking on a link |
| 0:37.9 | in the show notes. We'll start with something that tickled me actually, and that was yet another |
| 0:42.7 | of what we'll call like the old school media, like an old newspaper. This is the Times here in the |

| 1:03.6 | that clicks on these links. This article, parked Jaguar EV went rogue and rammed Porsche. |
| 1:10.2 | And Tesla says owner. And it wasn't. It was a Jaguar |
| 1:14.4 | E-Pace. It wasn't an electric vehicle in the slightest. And so this is a mild hybrid. It has a |
| 1:21.4 | mild hybrid system like so many cars these days that will operate andary equipment, do a little bit of start, stop |
| 1:29.6 | stuff at traffic lights, preventing some idling emissions. It's nothing to do with being an EV, of course. |
| 1:35.2 | But why let that get in the way of a headline, which is probably going to get clicks and enrage the |
| 1:40.8 | anti-EV folk and, I don't know, confirm their existing biases. |
| 1:44.5 | The dispute highlighting ongoing issues in media representation of electric vehicles. |
| 1:50.5 | Just look at the headline. |
| 1:51.3 | Parked Jaguar EV went rogue. |
