0:00.0	Welcome back to EV News Daily coming up today. The EV tipping point is happening quickly all around the world.
0:06.2	Xiaomi reveal their EV, the Sioux 7 and Polestar integrates the Tesla superchargers.
0:12.7	Plus stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you about the 15-year warranty on an EV battery.
0:19.0	Well, good morning, good afternoon or maybe good evening wherever you're listening around the world. This is EV News Daily, a trusted source of EV battery. Well, good morning, good afternoon, or maybe good evening,
0:21.3	wherever you're listening around the world. This is EV News Daily, a trusted source of EV
0:24.6	information. Last one of the working week, Friday, 29th, March today. Goodness, next week is
0:29.5	April. I'm Martin Lee, and I go through every EV story, so you don't have to. We go live at
0:34.7	5pm, UK. That's normally midday Eastern with the clock changes happening
0:38.6	this weekend in the UK. But either way, it's all academic because I'm late today anyway,
0:43.5	because it was good Friday. So the kids are off school. So I was being dad all day today. So I'm
0:47.1	working later in the evening to bring you EV News Daily. So sorry, it's late. Oh, I should mention Patreon as well, shouldn't I? You can go to p-a-t-o-n.com
0:55.4	slash EV News Daily if you'd like to get the podcast first and ad-free. Let's talk Mustang
0:59.7	Mac E, should we all? All right, then. The 2024 model year. Pricing has leaked in a dealer note,
1:07.2	so this isn't an official statement, but we think it's about right. It starts at 39-995 to get into
1:13.2	the Mustang Mac E, and I think it's a good deal. The Mustang Mac E remains a very compelling vehicle.
1:19.8	But if you've got 60 grand to blow, you could well get the rally version, which I'll put on
1:24.5	screen right now in a nice lime colour with stripes down the bonnet,
1:27.8	and it looks, yeah, it's proper. The premium trims price up by $1,100 compared to the outgoing one.
1:35.1	The GT version up by $1,600. And unlike previous years, the Mustang Mac E won't benefit,
1:41.6	at least for now, from the federal tax credit. You only get the partial tax credit anyway of 3.750.
1:47.3	Potential future changes to the battery could reinstate that tax credit eligibility.
1:52.2	So for now, Ford have taken one for the team and giving you up to $8,500 off themselves.
