Electric Vehicle Developments

As reported by Electrek, Climate XChange is giving away more EVs than ever before in its 11th Annual EV Raffle, with options including a Lucid Air, Rivian R1S, Porsche Macan Electric, and BMW i7. Electrek also notes that CATL has revealed a new semi truck battery, which is part of a venture with Octopus Energy called Swaptopus to build a European battery swap network for commercial trucks.

New Ventures and Sales

According to Electrek, SONDORS' three-wheeled electric car prototype has surfaced for sale on eBay. Additionally, InsideEVs reports that Hyundai's CEO plans to build tens of thousands of Ioniq 5 robotaxis for Waymo, as a response to the EV slowdown.

Global Energy Conflicts

Electrek reports on various oil conflicts currently affecting oil availability, noting that electric cars have nothing to do with these conflicts. This means that someone importing vehicles into Egypt may find that electric vehicles are less affected by global energy conflicts.
