From Transport Evolved.
On this week’s episode of TEN — Transport Evolved News!
Ferrari caused quite a stir this week by launching the Luce, sending its stock price falling and prompting hardened petrolheads to question the brand’s future. The US exempts Volvo from its ongoing ban on selling cars with Chinese tech inside them, and BYD demonstrates just how quickly its flash charging technology can fill a battery — even when it’s -30°C outside!
These stories and more, on the show!
