Welcome back to the show today. Audi Concept C is driven. The VWID, Unix 7, and Maserati slashes its EV prices. I'll have two.

Plus stay tuned because later in the show I'll tell you about diffusion theory and why EV adoption has crossed the chasm.

On EV News China today, our spin-off show,'m talking about the leap motor d19 800 volt 80 kilowatt

Either way, if you want to know what's happening in China, as we decode what's happening in the East for the rest of the global EV industry, then have a listen

to that spin-off show. It's in your feed. I'm delighted to say, question of the week is also back.

It returns this week. It used to be a really popular weekly segment I did years ago.

And we rested it after doing it for a couple of years. Well, it's back. And I need you to vote

Doing so in the Italian Dolomites, the prototype was developed entirely in-house by a team of 150 people,

with design work proceeding in parallel with the production version, which, like I say, this isn't the production version, but it's, you know, it'll be similar.
