Would be interesting to see if they would actually take us up on that if US market access was not free and clear.
Still its something I would support given that our automotive sector seems to be falling further behind by the day..

I really wished buying an EV is good for the environment.
EV cars are toaster throwaway appliances.
To think we are saving the planet by buying a new EV is nonsense. I bet most people who can afford buying an EV have already a high carbon footprint. The electric grid is not even set-up to deal with electrical demand of EV.
People driving an old diesel,, have a very low carbon foot print. They live small & saving the planet more.

Toyota to build EV's in Kentucky instead of Indiana

In a sudden shift of plans, Toyota will build it alongside a second electric three-row SUV as it consolidates EV production in the US...As part of its efforts to streamline production in the US, Toyota now plans to build the new EV in Kentucky, alongside a new Subaru three-row electric SUV."

@Gigade @giga-de-Gigade Es gibt schon skeptische Einordnungen zur Huawei-3.000-km-in-5-Minuten-Geschichte von CarNewsChina. The Korean Herald schreibt, dass die Stickstoffdotierung eher etwas für Laborbedinungen ist.
Außerdem passen die Zahlen nicht in der Bei 15 kWh/100km müsste Huaweis Wunderakku in 5 Minuten 450 kWh laden. Das wäre eine durchschnittliche Leistung von 5,4 MW. Das entspräche neun E-LKW-Ladesäulen mit je 600 Watt.
A 75% reduction in charging costs compared to immediate charging, and 60% compared to charging during off-peak hours at a standard rate. Per truck 
, an annual saving of €3,000 by purchasing market electricity. This is demonstrated by this successful French project.

UK DSO National Grid Energy Distribution has worked to remove barriers for consumer energy resources participating in its local flexibility market. With great success, over 50% of all #EV chargers in its area are now registered.

Applying that well-worn phrase here: 'It' is a local flexibility market. 'They' refers to the flexibility inherent in EV home charging that has not previously been used to support the local grid.
National Grid Electricity Distribution's impressive statistics show that more than 50% of EV chargers in its area are registered to deliver flexibility services.
In terms of the number of assets, 90% of those registered are from domestic households, mainly in the form of EV chargers but also including heat pumps, for example.
However, the majority of the registered capacity (912 MW out of a total of 1,487 MW) is being provided by just 1% of the assets: commercial and industrial ones.
What does this demonstrate? There is room for all types and sizes of flexibility, both large and small. Increasing market participation boosts competitiveness, reducing the costs of deploying flexibility and benefiting all users. Put simply, lowering the barriers lowers the costs.
Many European countries could learn from efficient and simple market access for small-scale flexibility. All too often, barriers to consumer energy participation in local flexibility markets, congestion management and other services still exist. See the EU Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) report on this subject for more information. For smart services that control an EV charging point or heat pump, participation in local flexibility markets is a relatively simple building block, on top of optimisation for static/dynamic tariff incentives, for example. Stacking is an efficient way to unlock more value and increase the benefits for users and the system.
Policymakers and regulators should ask themselves why EVs, heat pumps, home batteries and so on are not yet contributing to a more efficient local grid in their area. Talk to DSOs and, above all, to the smart services that can bundle the flexibility of these small assets. What's holding them back? Is it time for a European benchmark to show what percentage of these types of assets are registered for a market-based flexibility contribution?
