DACIA MOVES €17,900 SPRING PRODUCTION TO SLOVENIA
Dacia's second-generation Spring shifts production from Wuhan to Renault's Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia, starting at €18,000 with the whole range under €20,000 before incentives, making it eligible for European-only subsidies and exempt from EU tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. Engineering stays Chinese via Renault's Shanghai centre, and the car uses  60 kW front motor and 27.5 kWh CATL LFP battery for up to 250 km WLTP.

GERMAN BEV SALES RISE 75.1% IN AUGUST
German BEV registrations jumped 75.1% year-on-year in August, lifting share from 19% to 32.4% while the overall new-car market grew just 2.6%, and year-to-date BEV sales up 53.1%, for a 26.2% share. Volkswagen led, followed unchanged by Mercedes, BMW, Skoda and Audi, while Chinese challengers grew fastest.

KIA PUTS EV3, EV4 AND EV5 GTS ON SALE
Kia has launched GT versions of the EV3, EV4 and EV5 in Europe, joining the EV6 GT and EV9 GT to cover hatchback and fastback, compact, midsize and three-row SUV formats, though the EV4 GT Fastback skips the UK and neither the EV4 GT nor EV5 GT is planned for the US. All three pair dual-motor all-wheel drive with an 81.4 kWh battery and electronically controlled suspension, plus Kia's Virtual Gear Shift and Active Sound Design simulating a gas guzzler.

FORD CONSIDERS COMPACT VEHICLE FOR UEV PLATFORM
Ford is weighing a compact model on its Universal Electric Vehicle platform, which it says supports body styles from B-car size up to commercial vans. I’ll whisper it quietly, but could the Fiesta make a comeback as an EV? Such a car would return Ford to a segment it abandoned long ago.

DUFFY URGES FORD TO RECONSIDER OR END CHINESE DEALINGS
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote to Ford CEO Jim Farley on September 3, released to media yesterday, urging Ford to reconsider or end dealings with Chinese companies including its CATL licence, a Geely arrangement, reported BYD talks, Lincoln Nautilus production in China and a proposed Chinese-US joint venture framework.  Ford dismissed it as a wrongheaded attempt to capture headlines, noting the White House praised the Michigan plant days before.

ICAUR V25 TO MAKE AUSTRALIAN DEBUT IN SYDNEY
The iCaur V25, a boxy retro-styled electric SUV from Chery's youth-focused sub-brand, headlines what organisers call the largest new-model line-up in Everything Electric history at Sydney Showground from September 18-20. Also debuting are Hyundai's STARIA Electric van, GWM's Haval H7 and Cannon PHEV, Cadillac's LYRIQ-V —plus Lepas L6 and L4 previews.

SEVERAL 2027 CADILLAC LYRIQ MODELS RETAIN CARPLAY, ANDROID AUTO
Cadillac's configurator lists Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on several 2027 Lyriq models, an exception to GM's 2023 decision to strip phone mirroring from all future EVs.

VOLKSWAGEN PLANS LONG-WHEELBASE ID. BUZZ CARGO
Volkswagen is preparing a long-wheelbase ID. Buzz Cargo stretching about 5,000 mm — roughly 300 mm longer than the standard van — with cargo volume up from 3.9 to 4.4 cubic metres and load length from 2,208 to 2,405 mm, but maximum payload falling against the short-wheelbase van.

83% OF SURVEYED DEALERS BACK UK EV SCRAPPAGE SCHEME
September's Startline Used Car Tracker found 83% of surveyed dealers backing a UK scrappage scheme to support EV sales, with only 6% opposing government intervention, 60% wanting the state to promote EV adoption, 61% citing affordability, 26% saying prices are out of reach for too many and 21% pointing to older polluting vehicles.

HOYMILES RELEASES 22 KW BIDIRECTIONAL EV CHARGER
Chinese energy-storage firm Hoymiles released its V2X DC Charger on 8 September, delivering up to 22 kW of bidirectional DC power so an EV can act as a home energy resource, providing backup via V2H during outages and enabling peak shaving and virtual power plant dispatch via V2G. It can draw directly from solar and battery storage, includes an EU MID-certified meter for energy monitoring, and claims 97% peak efficiency in both directions, with charging input of 240–980 V DC and output of 200–1,000 V DC, reversed during discharge.
