Show #520   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 6th July 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.             Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Ryan Maughan and his team at AVID Technology have an understanding and oversight of the EV industry more than anyone I've ever met, and perfectly positioned to answer your EV questions!   AVID is a leader in the design and manufacture of electrified powertrain components and systems for heavy-duty and high-performance electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles (HEV).x   Ryan founded the AVID Technology Group back in 2004 and has led its growth and development ever since. As well as being an award-winning entrepreneur, he is an Engineer by background with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from UMIST and an MSc in Engineering from the University of Durham. Ryan worked in the motor racing industry in his formative years learning about high performance engineering and developing a unique blend of hands on practical skills with high-level engineering expertise. After a few years of working in a high precision machining business, AVID was born with the mission from the outset to develop new technology that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption of vehicles through improved control.   Send me your EV questions: hello@evnewsdaily or use social media. On Twitter use the hashtag #AskAvid     COMMUNITY And thanks to MYEV.com they’ve set us another Question Of The Week. Keep your comments coming in on email and YouTube…   I’ve been checking my stats and over 90% of listeners are men, so why are EVs still a ‘guy thing’?     I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the 230 patrons of this podcast whose generosity means I get to keep making this show, which aims to entertain and inform thousands of listeners every day about a brighter future.
