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.

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.

I'm Martin Lee, and I go through every EVE story, so you don't have to.

We go live at 5pm, UK. That's normally midday Eastern, 1 o'clock at the minute because of the time difference.

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.
