]]> Italy may have seen Europe’s hottest day ever as Sicily’s Siracusa on Wednesday recorded the country’s “highest-ever temperature” on Wednesday. Fuelled by unrelenting temperatures enveloping southern Europe, Italian firefighters on Thursday battled hundreds of fires throughout the country’s south that killed four people.

Searing temperatures also raise concerns that even higher temperatures are potential in future, possibly even exceeding 50.0 degrees Celsius, the UK’s MET office has warned.Climate change is making heat-related extremes of weather more intense and when we think about those record-breaking temperature the chance of breaking temperature records – or coming close to breaking records – is greatly increased,” said Professor Peter Stott,  who is the UK Met Office‘s lead on climate attribution.

]]> European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said Monday the spyware scandal involving an Israeli software firm and up to 50,000 smartphone numbers was “completely unacceptable” if true.

This has to be verified, but if it is the case, it is completely unacceptable,” she told reporters in Prague.

Media outlets including The Washington Post, The Guardian and Le Monde drew links Sunday between the Israel-based NSO Group, accused of supplying spyware to governments, and a list of tens of thousands of smartphone numbers, including those of activists, journalists, business executives and politicians around the world.

Von der Leyen, who was in Prague to present a Czech post-Covid recovery plan worth 7 billion euros ($8.2 billion) approved by the EU, slammed the alleged attack on journalists’ phones.

“Free press is one of the core values of the European Union,” she said after meeting Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.

]]> The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has not received any application from the Serum institute of India for authorisation of Covishield, a COVID-19 vaccine, almost a fortnight after the EU introduced the EU Digital Covid Certificate that makes intra-EU travel possible. 

“For the COVID-19 vaccine Covishield to be evaluated for use in the EU, the developer needs to submit a formal marketing authorisation application to EMA, which to date has not been received,” the EMA said at a press meeting. 

Covishield vaccine, manufactured under technology transfer from Oxford/AstraZeneca, is not among the authorised vaccines under the EMA.   

Covishield has also been excluded despite holding an EUL , this means people with Covishield will be subject to quarantine protocol in several countries.

]]> Stellantis as one of the major automotive groups is a ways behind its rivals when it comes down to electrification, but now it is quickly doubling down to EVs. It has announced an investment of over $35 billion for EVs and pledged to become a mostly EV first company in the next four years, As a part of this, now it has been revealed that from 2025 onwards it will be using only SVOLT batteries.

SVOLT Energy Technology will be supplying its lithium-ion batteries sourced from the SVOLT plants in Germany and China. SVOLT is already investing $2.4 billion to build a gigafactory in Germany which has an output of 24 GWh.  The production of which will start by 2023 soon after which it will start supplying Stellantis.

“From 2025 onwards, Stellantis will also source its lithium-ion batteries from SVOLT. SVOLT will provide Stellantis with a broad product portfolio for this purpose, from battery cells and high-voltage storage systems to battery management systems. For the order, SVOLT will use its production capacities in China and future production capacities in Europe,” it said in a statement.

It is making a gigafactory in Europe to serve its European customers like Stellantis.

PSA already had an arrangement with SVOLT so after the PSA merger with FCA to form Stellantis, this news isn’t surprising. Stellantis counts SVOLT, ACC, CATL, BYD, Samsung SDI and LG Energy Solutions as its battery suppliers.

“We are very pleased to have won such a renowned customer like Stellantis for our high-quality lithium-ion batteries and battery systems and to be able to supply them with batteries in the future,” said Maxim Hantsch-Kramskoj, Vice President Sales & Marketing SVOLT Europe.

SVOLT hasn’t revealed much either about the volume of batteries or the chemistry. That being said, SVOLT has already announced its intention to make cobalt-free Nix lithium-ion battery cells with an energy density of 240-245 wh/kg. It started mass production of these batteries in April in its Chinese plant in Jintan.
