0:00.0	Welcome back to the podcast today.
0:02.0	Tesla's European decline, U.S. rolls back economy targets, and Germany nears 2 million EVs.
0:07.6	Plus, stay tuned.
0:08.5	Later in the show, I'll tell you why pay per mile charges would still make EVs cheaper than combustion.
0:14.3	On EV News China today, check it out in your feed.
0:16.9	We do it weekdays, and we take a look what's happening in the world's biggest EV market.
0:21.4	And we decode what's happening in the East for the rest of us. And it's hopefully going down
0:26.9	pretty well. People seem to like EV News China as a spinoff show, not putting all the China
0:31.2	news in this main podcast. But also it's interesting how every so often you see people, sometimes
0:36.1	pretty senior in the automotive

1:11.8	Tesla's recent surge in France went into reverse. In November, the carmaker suffered one of its
1:16.5	sharpest monthly setbacks in Europe. Industry figures from French automaker Group PFA show
1:22.9	new car registrations slipped in November by just 0.3% from a year earlier. A mild decline overall.
1:29.8	Tesla, though, was the outlier. Its registrations in France fell 58% to just 1,591 vehicles.
1:38.8	This drop is not just a bad month. Since the start of this year, Tesla's sales in France
1:43.9	have fallen by 33%. While the
1:46.0	broader French EV market is flat, even up in many cases of some carmakers, Tesla is losing ground
