Volkswagen's WeShare is launching another all-electric car-sharing system in Germany. The service will start on February 25 with a fleet of about 400 Volkswagen ID.3, which will be gradually expanded up to 800 units in the Spring. Volkswagen ($VWAGY) is also installing some charging points so the service doesn't have to rely only on public charging stations. There are two rates - standard (without monthly payment) and WeShare+, which requires €9.90 a month, but the use per minute is less expensive. On this episode, we look into the now resurrected car sharing market and which companies might decide to take full advantage of it's potential, among them General Motors ( $GM ), Blink ( $BLNK ), Envoy, Denso, Zoom EV, Good2Go, and others.

Fisker, the self-proclaimed world’s most sustainable vehicle is off to a potentially powerful start. Foxconn Technology Group announced it will develop an electric vehicle with Fisker ($FSR), part of the manufacturer’s efforts to boost its automotive capabilities. The companies said the deal – codenamed “Project PEAR” (Personal Electric Automotive Revolution) – is expected to close in the second quarter of this year.

Arcimoto is an electric vehicle company that makes FUV's (Fun Utility Vehicles), a two-seat, three-wheeled micro EV. They also sell variations on the design "Rapid Responder" for emergency services, and "Deliverator" for last-mile food deliveries. We contend that the path to their massive growth lies in the Deliverator and not fun utility vehicle market which remains small. Having an EV fleet for the restaurant industry might be a game changer for Arcimoto, potentially skyrocketing it's company value.

The merger between Lucid and Klein’s Churchill Capital IV Corp ($CCIV) would be the biggest in a string of deals by electric vehicle makers such as Nikola Corp and Fisker Inc that have gone public by combining with special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). The combined Lucid entity could be valued at roughly $15 billion. It's a real competitor to Tesla, and critics have praised its new all-electric vehicle, the Lucid Air. The company is set to launch its flagship model, the Air Dream Edition, in the second half of 2021. In December, Lucid completed its first factory, in Casa Grande, Arizona, where it expects to eventually produce 400,000 cars annually.

First off, yes, the EPA’s testing cycles are unrealistic. Edmunds doesn’t use EPA test cycles when doing its testing. It takes actual road tests in the Los Angeles metro area, aiming for 60% city, 40% highway. Every Tesla they tested (Model 3, Model Y, Model S) has failed to hit its EPA range estimate. Porsche Taycan outperforms its EPA range estimate by the widest margin of +59.3%. In this episode we break down why the massive difference between EPA and Edmunds range test results and what this could mean for consumer trust in listed range estimates.

Unlike other car manufacturers who sell through franchised dealerships, Tesla sells directly to consumers. It has created an international network of company-owned showrooms and galleries, mostly in urban centers. It creates a better customer buying experience. Unlike car dealerships, Tesla showrooms have no potential conflicts of interest. However, some state laws, such as Texas' prevent direct-to-consumer car sales.

Aside from its showrooms, Service Plus centers, service facilities, and online purchasing (with car customization). Tesla employs what it calls Tesla Rangers – mobile technicians who make house calls. In some cases, the service is delivered remotely. The Model S can wirelessly upload data, so technicians can view and fix some problems without ever physically touching the car.

Growth in the grocery store and restaurant delivery sectors, and a search for cheaper and more sustainable vehicle operations, are bringing new opportunities for small electric delivery vehicles. Ayro ($AYRO) and Arcimoto ($FUV) and several others could be major players if they get some penetration in the market. GM is also adding to it's China line-up with it's electric micro car Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV which costs only $5,000.
