| 0:00.0 | In TV news briefly for Friday, the 3rd of November. I'll be back at 5pm as usual with the audio and video versions of the podcast. Subscribe on YouTube.

Hyundai's Arnick Electric Models sales have been surging last month in October, specifically talking about the Arnig 5 and Arnig 6 in the United States. |
| 0:23.6 | Conan numbers, by the way, don't have. They won't split them out from the combustion stuff. |
| 0:27.2 | But good October and so far for the year, 37,000 units combined Arnick 5 and 6. |
| 0:34.0 | Mercedes-Benz are expanding their EV charging network in North America with a collaboration with the Simon Property Group, not a name or locations that I'm familiar with. |
| 0:43.9 | The pressure relief says that it's a bunch of locations that have good amenities and Mercedes-Benz want to build charging hubs, branded Mercedes-Benz, but open to everyone, with lots of amenities around, because they don't |
| 0:54.7 | want you to think of going to charge your car as an activity. Charging should be the secondary |
| 0:59.6 | activity. The hardware will be up to 400 kilowatts of power. Their partners include charge point. |
