0:00.0	Welcome back to Evie News China. Today, the Envo L90 fights back.
0:03.8	Xiaomi's YU7 fades and BYD's 16 million milestone.
0:09.9	Plus stay tuned later in the show. I'll tell you why CATL is going on the offensive with their latest technology roadmap.
0:16.8	Welcome to Evie News, China, the latest podcast all about the world's biggest EV market every day.
0:22.1	I bring you headlines, insights and analysis straight from the heart of China's booming

0:31.7	We'll start with the 26th Onvo L90 goes on sale tomorrow. That's just 264 days after the original debut. And the timing matters.
