Domino’s Pizza is preparing its Electric Delivery Fleet with Chevy Bolts

Chevy Bolt

Domino’s plans to put more than 800 all-electric pizza delivery cars into service in the coming months, beginning with over 100 in November. The company chose the tiny Chevy Bolt EV and is wrapping the vehicles with bespoke branding but no extra frills — just combustion-free deliveries (via electrek).

Specifically, Domino will have a fleet of 855 new electric vehicles, which is more than the Chevy Spark-based (gas version) ones it created with special pizza warming oven doors in 2015. However, it still won’t be enough to reach all 6,135 pizza stores in the US. Only 155 of those, known as the Domino’s DXP, were produced. Drivers of the new Bolts must place the HeatWave bags in the backseat just like they would in any other vehicle.

The Domino’s Bolts will be delivering from a small number of corporate and franchise locations across the US. According to Domino’s CEO Russell Weiner, “Electric delivery trucks make sense as automotive technology continues to improve.” While some Dominos sites currently supply vehicles for delivery drivers, many require them to bring their own cars. This could help the company recruit some new staff.

Given that most retailers only service their immediate neighbourhoods and that Chevy Bolt EVs can go 259 miles on a single charge, the manufacturer believes that each vehicle could make many deliveries over the course of several days without needing to be plugged in. Even after aggravating dealership markups, GM has reduced the price of the 2023 model to a starting price of $26,595, making it one of the most cheap EVs on the market. Enterprise Fleet Management and Domino’s collaborated to handle the logistics, maintenance, and other purchases.

You can observe when and where the new EV delivery cars are or will be active on the Domino’s website’s map.

Surprisingly, neither are there any in Houston, where Domino’s has Nuro self-driving delivery vehicles already in use, nor in EV-heavy states like California. The new Domino’s Bolts don’t have any unique features, but after reading a Hagerty article about the difficulties in building Domino’s Chevy Spark-based DXP (the one with the pizza oven), it’s clear why the firm decided not to undertake a clever project this time. However, Rich Rebuilds modified the DXP to a Spark EV if you really want to witness an electric pizza delivery vehicle with an outside oven door.

Hyundai launches a Home Charging Ecosystem to encourage customers as part of its EV push

Hyundai introduced a new option for its customers to charge at home this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show as part of the company’s efforts to attract a new generation of EV purchasers. Hyundai Home, as the company refers to it, includes solar panels, energy storage, and EV charging for Hyundai owners. Hyundai announced a collaboration with Electrum, a solar panel, home battery, and heat pump installer, to assist consumers in 16 states in locating the correct power installations and systems for their EV charging needs.

A new alliance will benefit customers in Arizona, California, and Colorado. You can now work with Electrum advisors to find the best and most inexpensive power solutions for Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Washington.

According to Ian Tupper, senior group manager of strategic environmental alliances at Hyundai, dealers were assisting customers in contacting local installers and power providers to set up charging and storage for their new Hyundai EVs like the Ioniq 5 prior to this week’s announcement.

“With Hyundai Home, we’re really trying to democratize, not only EV charging and being able to adopt an electric vehicle, but the entire ecosystem around it. We want to make it easy for customers to go solar to get energy storage and to eventually use all those systems together to reduce their energy bill,” Tupper told during an interview at the LA Auto Show.

States like California have banned the sale of new gasoline automobiles by 2035 as the U.S. pushes more to cut carbon emissions, particularly those from tailpipes (also known as fossil-fueled powered vehicles). As a result, more Americans will consider EVs, PHEVs, and hybrids when shopping for their next new vehicle. However, according to the U.S. Census, rentals make up about one-third of all housing in America, and the majority of that stock is older, so landlords will need to be prepared to spend money to upgrade panels and provide charging access in multifamily garages if they want to give tenants access to at-home charging.

“If we want to achieve mass adoption, we need to solve that problem for renters and so we’re attacking it in a couple of different ways. First through our partnership with Electrify America. We’re working with them to incentivize to construction of as much charging infrastructure as possible and we’re trying to give it to customers for free,” Tupper told. “We’re taking a strategic partnership approach and trying to identify the players right to offer, really a smattering of solutions. If there’s a city where, you know, we can help support the production or the development of charging hub, great. But if there’s a way for us to even incentivize low-power AC charging. We’re going to take a look at that as well.”

An electrical panel upgrade for a single-family home can cost anywhere from $1,300 to $3,000 on average, and may even cost more. Many individuals won’t be able to afford or have access to home charging when you combine that with the high cost of battery-electric, hybrid, and plug-in electric vehicles, especially those who live in multifamily buildings without such access.

Tupper claims that Hyundai is taking that into account, but he was unable to provide any specific information regarding future plans.

Tupper claims that Hyundai is taking that into account, but he was unable to provide any specific information regarding future plans.

“We’re just starting out,” Tupper said, “Our guiding principles are that customers not only get the right products, but they also get the right products at the right price. Electrum helps us help the customer find the right solution on the marketplace, that way we’re actually able to deliver, usually a substantially better deal than something that they would normally just get by going to a local provider.”

Tesla recalls more than 320,000 vehicles due to rear light issue

Tesla is recalling further than 3,00,000 vehicles in the United States because tail lights may intermittently fail to illuminate, the company said in a form made public Saturday.

The company made the public form on Saturday, saying that further than,000 vehicles will be recalled over a taillight issue the electric vehicle manufacturer said covers some 2023 Model 3 and 2020- 2023 Model Y vehicles.

Tesla recalls more than 320,000 vehicles for taillight software glitch

After recalling over,000 electric vehicles, Tesla is now recalling over vehicles in the United States due to another glitch. This glitch is reported to be a software glitch that can make tail lights go off intermittently, which has increased the threat of collision. 

Elon Musk- led Tesla stated in documents posted Saturday by the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the glitch may affect one or both tail lights on certain Model 3 and Model Y vehicles. Brake lights, provisory lights, and turn star lights aren’t affected by the software problem, the EV mammoth stated. The recall covers certain 2020 to 2023 Model Y SUVs and 2023 Model 3 cruisers. That amounts to potentially,628 vehicles.

Tesla recalls more than 320,000 vehicles due to rear light issue

Tesla came apprehensive of the problem last month after entering complaints, primarily from guests outside the US, that their vehicle tail lights weren’t illuminating. The company completed an disquisition into the problem before this month. The disquisition set up in rare cases the lights may intermittently not work due to an anomaly that may beget false fault findings during the vehicle wake-up process. Tesla said it had entered three bond reports over the issue.

Before in October, the EV maker blazoned to recall of over,000 Tesla Model 3 electric buses , which we erected between 2017- 2022. The electric carmaker has revealed that the hinder left seat belt buckle and the centre seat belt anchor could be defective in these  buses , due to an indecorous reassembly of these factors. The former visit to service centres is said to be the reason for the cause of this issue.

Ather Energy and IDFC Bank joins hands to office Financing Scheme for EV scooter buyers

Manufacturer of intelligent electric scooters Ather Energy has established a cooperation with IDFC Bank to provide consumers with a financing option that is a first for the sector. For the same monthly cost as a standard petrol scooter, consumers may upgrade to and purchase a faster, smarter Ather 450X scooter.

This strategy is meant to make Ather scooters more accessible to customers by providing a lucrative financing alternative, as well as accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, according to the company. Customers can also purchase an Ather 450X or 450 Plus with a down payment as little as 5% of the on-road price in their particular city under the scheme.

However, for the first time in the E2W arena, IDFC is offering all of this with a loan tenure of 48 months, making the EMIs relatively affordable. In addition, buyers will receive clearance in 45 minutes and there will be no processing cost.

Ravneet S. Phokela, chief business officer, Ather Energy, said, “We believe that attractive financing plans and new financial models around adoption will play a crucial role in bringing in the next phase of growth for the industry. The EV financing scheme introduced today in partnership with IDFC Bank is a significant step in many ways towards driving faster adoption of electric 2-wheelers in the country. The scheme offers a first-ever 48 month tenureship on Ather’s electric scooters. Now a customer buying a much superior Ather 450X with this scheme would have the same monthly expense as that of owning a 125cc scooter, making our scooters more accessible for a wider customer base across the country. This will enable us to further accelerate the strong demand we are witnessing, as we expand our retail footprint across the country.”

“It is also crucial to note that Ather is the first OEM in the industry that has received a 48 month tenure for its scooters which reiterates the trust that our finance partners have on our vehicle. This is a reflection of their confidence in our product quality and reliability. as well as the resale value of the product.” added Ravneet

Consumers can now bring home a modern, performance-oriented scooter with smart features such as a touchscreen dashboard, on-board navigation, reverse assist, document storage, and theft and tow notifications for a cheaper cost. IDFC First Bank was an early EV market adapter and has established itself as a bankable partner for Ather’s consumers. As the organisation expands into Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations, this cohort has become crucial.

“IDFC First Bank has been amongst the front runners in electric two wheeler financing. Our ever evolving offerings to match diverse customer segments , and our end to end digitized customer journey will add tremendous value to Ather Energy’s customer financing experience,” Rishi Kant Mishra, business head, Vehicle Loans, said

Tesla Shares reaching its Near Value Stock Level

By

According to a Morgan Stanley analyst, the recent beating Tesla’s stock (TSLA) has taken has brought it close to stock level. Tesla has recently delivered record quantities of automobiles, sales, and profit, but this isn’t showing up in the performance of its shares. According to several experts, Tesla is finally approaching the price range of a value company after years of trading at multiples over its revenue and profitability.

Longtime Tesla supporter and Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas observed in a fresh note to clients this week that Tesla’s stock is approaching his $150 per share bear case, making it more appealing from an EBITDA multiple perspective. Morgan Stanley reiterates its overweight (or Buy) rating and $330 price target, representing a considerable increase above Tesla’s current stock price.

Tesla shares would trade at approximately 12.5x EV/EBITDA and 23x PE on our FY25 forecast (SBC burdened) which we see as excellent value for a self-funded, 20 to 30% top-line grower in top position to benefit from re-architecting the US on-shore/near-shore/friend-shore renewable supply chain at scale.

Elon Musk is clearly to blame for this decline in value, both directly by selling billions of dollars’ worth of Tesla stock over the period and indirectly by some investors losing faith in him as a result of the Twitter crisis.

However, it is generating an odd situation in which Tesla appears to be concerned about its stock price for the first time, despite the fact that they wanted it to be high in order to attract more funding.

The company’s board of directors has confirmed discussions about launching a stock repurchase programme between $5 to $10 billion. This would undoubtedly assist, but it’s difficult to estimate how much. It is preferable to concentrate on Tesla’s core business, which remains robust and is anticipated to grow stronger next year, particularly in the United States, after regaining access to the federal EV tax credit.

From its corporate headquarters in Gurugram, Haryana, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) today signalled the departure of the future Ioniq 5 electric vehicle “to discover the famed wonders of India.” The Ioniq 5 is launched by Unsoo Kim, MD & CEO of Hyundai Motor India, with the goal of exploring India’s Wonders and setting new records.

The flagship EV is also planning to set a new record for “Fastest EV Drive Covering The 7 Wonders Of India” in addition to setting off on an adventure to discover the Seven Wonders of India. The Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, has been selected as the first location for the South Korean automaker’s attempt to break this record, which will be submitted to the India Book of Records.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 will travel to majestic and well-known sites such as the Taj Mahal in Uttar Pradesh, the Temples of Khajuraho in Madhya Pradesh, the Old Nalanda Ruins in Bihar, the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha, the Ancient City of Hampi in Karnataka, and then to the Gomateshwara statue in the same Southern state.

The 2022 World Car of the Year, the Ioniq 5, may enter the nation via the SKD (Semi Knocked Down) route. It might therefore be less expensive than Rs. 50 lakh, undercutting the Kia EV6, its twin, which made its local debut in August 2022. It is supported by the E-GMP skateboard-specific architecture.

The mechanicals of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6 share a number of similarities. The Ioniq 5 is offered with a 58 kWh or a 77.4 kWh battery pack on international markets. It will compete against the Mini Cooper SE, Kia EV6, and Volvo XC40 Recharge. Compared to the Kona Electric, which is already for sale in India, it is more expensive.

General Motors believes its EVs will start becoming profitable by 2025

General Motors is now spending a lot of money in order to become the largest seller of electric automobiles in North America. However, the corporation anticipates that by 2025, its EV programme will be “solidly profitable,” and the burning of cash would end for good.

The business, which is the biggest automaker in North America, provided investors with an overview of the strategy to accomplish this aim on Thursday during a flashy event in Manhattan. In order to support its claim that it will begin selling 1 million EVs yearly in 2025, General Motors displayed a number of electric vehicles, including the gorgeous $300,000 fastback Cadillac Celestiq that was initially introduced last month.

Even for the largest automaker in the country, selling 1 million EVs annually won’t be simple; it took Tesla more than ten years to reach that milestone. The construction of at least five battery plants in North America, the acquisition of raw materials for battery assembly, and the development of new digital retail options to increase customer demand are all part of the executives’ belief that they have a sound plan in place.

By the end of the year, General Motors says it is on target to sell 44,000 Chevy Bolt EVs and EUVs in the US at a loss. The Bolt is the only plug-in vehicle now being sold by the corporation in large quantities and at a loss.

The GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, two other battery-electric GM cars, are still gradually scaling up production. The Chevy Silverado EV and Chevy Blazer EV will also be added to the roster the following year. General Motors has to increase its EV sales since it has a target date of 2040 to become carbon neutral. Furthermore, this is not an act of kindness. By 2035 or later, a number of US states, led by California, plan to outlaw the sale of cars with internal combustion engines.

MG Air EV to launch in 2023: Should you be excited?

The G20 Summit is now taking place in Indonesia, and the official vehicle is an electric vehicle from G Motor. The automaker has published images of the Wuling Air EV, a small electric vehicle. MG Motor will create its next electric car for India based on the Wuling Air EV.

To carry ambassadors and other G20 officials to Indonesia, some 300 Air EVs have been stationed in Bali. The unique aspect is that the electric vehicle was especially created in a unique colour just for this occasion. There are two distinct designs among the Wuling Air EVs stationed at Summit. First, the colours red and orange, stand for liberty, comradery, and peace. Secondly, blue represents Indonesia’s diversity.

The Wuling Air EV, which is presently offered in Indonesia, will serve as the foundation for the next electric vehicle in India. It is anticipated that the tiny EV will not be called the Air EV in India, where it has been assigned the codename E230. Instead, MG will give the vehicle a new name.

The forthcoming MG Motor electric vehicle will probably be about the same size as the Wuling Air EV. Its dimensions are anticipated to be 2,974 mm in length, 1,505 mm in width, and 1,631 mm in height, with a 2,010 mm wheelbase. It will be smaller than the Tiago EV and quite comparable to PMV Electric’s recently released Eas-E mini EV.

Wuling provides two battery packs for the Air EV: a smaller 17.3 kWh unit and a bigger 26.7 kWh unit. According to Wooling, the smaller battery provides up to 200 km of range, while the larger battery provides up to 300 km. On the back axle of each battery pack is an electric motor. According to MG Motor India, the Wuling Air EV-based electric vehicle will be on sale in January of 2019. It is anticipated that it will be on show at the upcoming auto expo in Delhi.
