    Genesis-Hyundai-Kia Adopt NACS

      What does a company do when so many others have changed their approach to a charging port standard, Join the Party!

    October 5th was a major press release for Genesis-Hyundai-Kia as all three auto companies announced that they would begin shipping their EVs at the start of Q4 2024 with NACS ports on their EVs.

    With NACS ports, Genesis, Hyundai and Kia EVs will gain access to the 12,000 plus North America Tesla Supercharger stations which have over 50,000 charging stations. 

    Genesis, Hyundai, Kia EVs are built on the E-GMP or Electric Global Modular Platform that is an 800V fast charging platform. The current EV owners that have CCS ports will have access to the Tesla Supercharger network starting the beginning of Q1 2025 and upon receiving their CCS to NACS adapter.

    This also includes that Genesis, Hyundai and Kia have joined six other global leading auto companies in building their own high power North American Charging Network that has a committed 30,000 chargers. This new network will have the first of the Charging Stations opened in Summer 2024 in the U.S. and later in the year in Canada.

    All three auto companies have stated that their specific EV applications on the customers cell phone will be updated allowing them to use the Tesla Supercharger stations, pay for their charging and any other needs at the tesla sites giving customers the ultimate experience in a single smartphone app for all their EV needs.

      Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup

      By Drew Dowdell · Posted

      At a minimum of $10k more than the Cadillac, higher due to tariffs if they don't build it in the US.

      Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup

      By smk4565 · Posted

      The EQB is a bad car, and the Optiq is the best of that group but also the newest.     We’ve seen the new CLA that charges twice as fast as the Optiq, that will become a new GLB in a year and there will be an electric GLC in about a year.

      Cadillac News: Cadillac Optiq Will Join V-series Lineup

      By Drew Dowdell · Posted

      The Optic competes with the EQB which it out accelerates, charges faster than, has more range than, has more power than, looks better than, and has a substantially nicer interior than. The EQB interior is just trash for the price. It feels like they took a Dodge Colt Vista and tried to make it luxury. BMW doesn't even compete in this space yet.  Audi has the Q4 eTron, but the Optiq again has more range than, has a nicer interior than (though the Q4 is closer than the EQB), and I think the Cadillac looks better than.  Sure there's the Q6 eTron and Q8 eTrons, but then you're into Lyriq and Lyriq-V price range. Optiq seems to be selling pretty decently too. Anyone selling EVs these days needs to switch their advertising to torque instead.

      Industry News: SLATE EV Pickup starting at under $20,000, Funded by Jeff Bezo

      Styling reminds of a mix of the new Defender with a ‘70s IH Scout.  Simple and clean.

      There are different stock price patterns toward the end.  They can just drift downward exponentially.  Sometimes, they enjoy some weird upward ticks, and then drop.  I'm not the biggest believer in efficient markets and some geek PhDs in econ/finance study them, but they probably have to give props to market efficiency so they don't rock the boat.  I wonder how many academics think otherwise. TSLA is not a value stock, so people who aren't really, really financially comfortable should just stay away from it.   The Enron thing was mind boggling ... the flow chart of how they did this was mind boggling, as in overly complex.  There's an interesting movie called "The Smartest Guys in the Room" which we watched in a night class I took.  The head perpetrator has an MBA from Northwestern.  Of all the firms who recruited undergrads from the business school, Arthur Andersen was by far the most arrogant.  (Not enough time and space for details.)  I was actually pleased that they bit the dust and that they were the sacrificial lamb for reform.
