Episode Details

Welcome back to EV News Daily. Today we’re taking a look back at an intense week of EV launches and debuts at the IAA Mobility 2025 show in Munich.

IAA this year showcased an unprecedented transition toward electrification across all manufacturers, with nearly every debut featuring some form of electric or hybrid propulsion. 

Chinese manufacturers demonstrated particular strength in battery technology and pricing competitiveness, while established European brands focused on premium features and performance electrification. The show marked a clear inflection point where electric vehicles are no longer niche products but mainstream offerings across all segments and price points.
