Welcome to the Electro Revolution EV News Brief for December 3rd, 2025 — your global roundup of the biggest electric vehicle developments across the world. I’m Michael, and in today’s episode we’re covering major announcements from Tesla, BYD, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Rivian, Lucid, NIO, Xiaomi, and more, plus Australia’s latest EV sales data and a fun story to close things out.

???? TESLA — Mixed Sales, Big Energy Momentum

Tesla’s global automotive sales remain uneven across markets, but the biggest movement comes from Tesla Energy. Deployment of Powerwall, Megapack, and grid-scale storage is accelerating rapidly, with analysts suggesting Tesla’s energy division could one day outperform its automotive arm.

???? BYD — New Launches & Global Moves

BYD has officially launched the Sea Lion 6 PHEV in Japan, starting around USD $26,700. The company continues expanding both EV and PHEV offerings across Asia, positioning itself with a broad range of affordable and premium models.

????️ PORSCHE — Cayenne Electric Global Debut

Porsche has rolled out the Cayenne Electric, now its most powerful production model — and fully electric. Early reviews highlight exceptional performance and surprisingly capable off-road behaviour as Porsche expands its high-performance EV credentials.

???? BMW & Mercedes-Benz — Climate & Tech Re-Alignment

BMW has updated its climate roadmap, targeting 60 million tons of CO₂ reduction by 2035 and accelerating renewable energy uptake across supply chains.

???????? RIVIAN & LUCID — Investor & Production Watch

Rivian remains under investor scrutiny as production guidance reveals pressures through 2025. Lucid is actively engaging investors this week, featuring conference appearances and updates focused on liquidity and model scaling.

???????? NIO, Xiaomi & China’s EV Surge

NIO posted a strong November with 36,000+ deliveries, driven by multiple model lines and its Firefly brand. Xiaomi hit a major cumulative deliveries milestone and is expanding stores rapidly before policy shifts next year.

???? EU Supply Chain — $4B Lithium Project

A major European lithium project secured nearly $4 billion, strengthening the region’s battery independence. Stellantis and other automakers are already tied to future supply agreements.

???????? AUSTRALIA — November EV & PHEV Growth

PHEVs surged 80% YoY, while total EV deliveries rebounded after October lows. Tesla and Polestar saw gains, and China’s ZEEKR broke into the top three brands for November. Charger deployment continues nationwide — encouraging news for Australian EV drivers.

⚠️ EV SAFETY — OTA Updates Continue

Regulators remain active as automakers roll out assisted-driving OTA updates. Recent fixes from several brands highlight that EV software remains central to safety and ownership.

???? LIGHTER STORY — Faraday Future’s “Funny Face”

Faraday Future’s upcoming FX Super 1 MPV is drawing laughs online for its quirky front design — proof that EV styling still drives plenty of personality and memes.
