Tesla Autopilot 2.0 is in the final testing phase of a significant update. Could we finally see that promise of a self-driving Tesla cross America?

National power grids won’t have to make any changes until 15% of all cars on the roads are electric.

A change to the Tesla referral programme could see you driving a Tesla Semi around a race track!

Some of the biggest social media fans of the Nissan LEAF score themselves a trip from the UK to Tenerife get a first drive of the new model.

Thank you for listening today, I hope you've enjoyed it. We'd love to spread the word about electric cars so please do share this with at least one person who might be interested.

Just a reminder you can listen to all of our previous podcasts on iTunes, whilst you’re there why not Subscribe for free and then you get them automatically.

It would really mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on iTunes which will help us spread the word to a wider audience about electric cars. Come and say hi on Twitter @EVNewsDaily, have a wonderful day, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Friday 2nd February 2018.

EVgo provided 40 million miles of gas-free miles in 2017 from their 1,000 DC fast chargers. The average fast charge session lasted 25 minutes.

In 2017 France led the way with 12,000 new EV charging points, ahead of Germany and UK.

Nearly half of all buses on the roads will be electrified by 2025 with China leading the way.

A brand new factory opened today in Oxfordshire, UK, to build 100,000 EV motors annually year including Jaguar and Williams as customers.

The famous London black cabs are heading further afield as an international deal sees them arriving in Norway, albeit with a new livery and Scandinavian interior.

CATL in China is valued at $20Bn and new investment sees them building a new plant to build cells, second in size to Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada.

Numbers are starting to come in for January 2018 Plug In sales and the year hasn’t started as well as last year ended. However that was without full sales for the new Nissan LEAF and as Tesla Model 3 production increases.

MOIXA is a UK company which provides PV plus storage to 1,000 customers, and now added Japanese investment will see new markets open up for their AI-driven system which sells excess energy back to the grid.

SolarEdge has unveiled an integrated inverter charger for your electric car. Combining your PV and grid connection provides 9.6kW Level 2 charging for your electric car.

And finally the Electric GT series has been given the green light by the FIA, which will see the all-electric racing series start later this year, with 20 drivers taking on European circuits in race ready Tesla Model S P100Ds.

Motoring journalists have been allowed to drive the Jaguar I-PACE in the snow and ice of Arjeplog in Sweden. First impressions are good, we have more specs with details on range and power.

Mercedes Benz are investing 11 billion Euro in 6 factories to produce electric cars and the batteries to power them.

Electrify America has more details on almost 5,000 public chargers coming to U.S. including Level 3 rapid chargers.

57 new lamp post chargers are installed in London for those EV owners who park on street to have access to charging.

And finally an interview with BMW reveals more about their plans and targets for electrification.
