| 0:14.0 | Well, the Rado 5 has now gone on sale in the UK. I've talked about it lots this week. 23,000 pounds is now the price. It's gone on sale at. Of course, the offers will be |
| 0:21.4 | interesting as well to look at those monthly offers, but either a 40 or a 52 kilowatt |
| 0:26.1 | hour pack, that cool retro styling and bidirectional vehicle to load Rena5 on sale now in the UK. |
| 0:34.3 | Hyundai wants the Insta to do some heavy lifting in Germany where Hyundai's EV sales went down by 41% last year. |
| 0:41.4 | Now Germany's struggled by taking away some of the incentives and subsidies and it's got a bit cold on EVs, unlike the rest of Europe. |

| 1:34.7 | this thing in camouflage. This is going to be like Bentley Bantaga territory, you know, 120 grand, |

| 1:45.9 | should be coming soon because the pictures are now being shown of these things on car carriers, |
| 1:50.8 | albeit wearing camouflage. Range Rover will also be pricey but very important because |
