2026 BYD Atto 3 Evo driven! Real upgrade or just a facelift in disguise?

Join Nicola for the first drive of the updated 2026 BYD Atto 3 Evo, the car that originally launched BYD in the UK back in 2023 — but now returns with a long list of upgrades under the skin. At first glance it might look familiar, but BYD says this isn’t just a refresh. There’s a bigger battery, new 800-volt architecture, faster charging, more power, revised suspension and updated tech aimed at making the Atto 3 more competitive than ever in the electric SUV market. Inside, you’ll find a smarter infotainment system with Google integration, improved materials, extra storage and even a bigger boot and frunk. But does it actually feel new to drive? And have the changes made it better — or just… different? In this video Nicola gets behind the wheel in Madrid to find out what’s changed, how it drives, whether the new performance makes sense for a family SUV, and if the Atto 3 Evo deserves another look in a very crowded EV segment.

Nio officially announced a switch to offering 100 kWh batteries as standard for its whole lineup at the Chengdu Auto Show 2025. Prices of the cars with a bigger battery were sliced to the level of previously available 75 kWh variants, marking a notable reduction. The 75 kWh will still be available as part of the BaaS plan(..)

P.S. Most people don't understand it yet in the former West, but essentially this and other news means that China will NO longer need the ICE vehicle market and production... and what is much more serious - China will no longer need to import so much expensive oil...

Global EV Sales — BYD Song Beats Tesla Model Y on the World Stage! - CleanTechnica

Plugin vehicles reach 22% share, or 1.5 million units, in April. Global plugin vehicle registrations were up 22% in April 2025 compared to A

Back to April’s best sellers, the big news is this: The BYD Song has beaten the Tesla Model Y!

After almost three years of uninterrupted domination by the US crossover, someone has managed to beat it. And, ironically, it was another old geezer past its prime that did it.

Despite winning the lead in April, the Song’s monthly tally, 51,550 deliveries, was down by 15% YoY. With sales dropping fast in its domestic market, due to newer internal competition (Song L, Sea Lion 07, and maybe a couple more I am forgetting), the Chinese SUV’s saving grace was export markets. In places like the European Union (>5,000 units), Turkiye (3,700 units), and Brazil (3,100), the Song is experiencing a second youth(..)

Elon Musk had already canceled $25k Tesla weeks before denying it publicly

Musk responded to a Reuters report saying "Reuters is lying (again)." But Musk's statement was itself a lie, which troubled Tesla execs.

In April 2024, Reuters reported that the long-awaited $25,000 Tesla, nicknamed “Model 2” by the public, had been canceled.

Immediately after the report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded, stating “Reuters is lying (again).”

However, when he made this statement, Musk knew that the report was correct, and that he had cancelled the project weeks earlier.

This new information comes from a report by Reuters today, citing company documents and the standard “people familiar with the matter.”

The public denial caused confusion among Tesla executives, some of whom wondered if the project was back on, or who were concerned that customers may delay purchases waiting for a product that they and Musk knew would never come.
