| 0:00.0 | It's EV News briefly for Monday 11th of November. |
| 0:02.3 | I'll be back as usual at 8am UK. |

| 0:14.4 | Tesla is preparing customers for upcoming Cybertruck deliveries. |
| 0:17.5 | Now, if you fancy speccing the top Cyber Beast, the Founders Edition model, |

| 1:25.9 | what people do, I guess. Volkswagen have introduced a software update to enable vehicle to home charging of their |
