Welcome back to EV News Daily.

Coming up today, an EV public charging bonanza.

The Tesla Model 3, so-called Highland, launches in the US, finally, and Renault's V2G plans.

Plus, stay tuned because later in the show, I'll tell you what BMW are saying about their plans to close combustion car factories in favour of EVVs.

Tesla's updated Model 3, previously available in Europe, China and Middle East, so-called

Highland. Not sure Tesla have ever said, that's the official code name for it. I think we just

Interior enhancements include a new 8-inch rear display for infatainment and climate control,

ventilated seats, higher quality materials, acoustic glass and customizable ambient lighting.

Exterior modifications are things like the new integrated fog lights and indicators in the
