Podcast Update
Hello and welcome to EV News Daily. I’ve got two exciting announcements to share with you today.
EV NEWS CHINA
Following a trial run earlier in the Summer and talking to the audience about how it was received, EV News China is officially back as a weekday feature.
Here’s why: China isn’t just the biggest car market in the world; it’s the biggest EV market by far. Last year, over half of all electric cars sold globally were sold there. What happens in China sets the tone for everything—the price of batteries, the models we see launched, even the charging standards adopted worldwide.
But following Chinese EV news can be tough. Some of the reporting is in Mandarin, announcements come at lightning speed, and Western headlines often oversimplify the story.
That’s where EV News China comes in. We’ll bring you clear, focused updates every weekday, so you’ll always know what matters most in the market shaping the future of EVs.
So from today, keep an eye out for EV News China wherever you listen. Because to understand the global EV story, you’ve got to follow what’s happening in China.
PATREON EXCLUSIVITY
Starting today, we’re launching Patreon specials, with a 7-day exclusivity period.
The daily EV News Daily podcast will always remain free, but there are so many times I want to dive deeper into a story, bring you an interview, or share what I’m seeing behind the scenes.
That’s where the Patreon specials come in.
Many creators offer exclusive content but that goes against the mission of this podcast, spreading the word about EVs, so I’ve never locked podcasts behind a paywall.
However, I do regularly make bonus content—deeper dives, expert conversations, inside-access updates, plus longer weekend features on batteries, charging, and EV policy. Until now, those were published when they were ready, in the free feed.
From today any bonus shows will go live on Patreon first for 7 days. It’s extra value for those who choose to support the show and keep it independent and ad-free. And for those who want access immediately, they can support my work directly. If you don’t mind waiting, you’ll get exactly the same content, just with a wait.
So if you’d like to get access to those new daily specials, check out the Patreon page today. And thank you to everyone who’s already supporting—you’re making all of this possible.
