Welcome back to EV News Daily. Coming up today, the Rolls-Royce Specter Black Badge edition,

0:05.3

the Nissan Micro returning as an EV and Dacia's cheap city EV for Europe. Plus, stay tuned,

0:11.3

because later in the show, I'll tell you how Lyme is helping increase democratic participation in Germany.

1:27.4

but an infinity mode.

1:29.6

That doesn't mean you can drive forever.

1:32.1
