Alpine slows A390 electric crossover production at Dieppe for a second time after weak sales
By Eve
According to a French motoring publication citing Les Échos, Alpine cut A390 output at its Dieppe plant from 30 to 16 cars a day in early September, then to just 7 in October, with the factory due to stop for several weeks in November and December. From January to September only 1,780 A390s were delivered in Europe, 1,003 of them in France, compared with more than 43,000 for the new BMW iX3 over the same period. The piece argues the model is too expensive and technically behind the premium electric market.
Why it matters
Weak uptake of a premium electric crossover points to softer demand in that segment, which matters when forecasting charger utilisation and the mix of high power sites in France. Procurement teams tied to Renault group volume assumptions should treat them with caution.

Renault Group reports 84.7% rise in third quarter electric vehicle sales
On 29 October, Renault Group published an 84.7% increase in electric sales for the third quarter. The figure is quarterly rather than year to date, and covers the group as a whole (Renault, Dacia and Alpine), so an electric Dacia counts alongside a Renault. The release's note limits the electric indicator to passenger cars, excluding light commercial vehicles, and does not specify a geographic scope, so it cannot be read as a France or worldwide result. The release also cites an internal share, with electric vehicles at 25.8% of sales, though the excerpt is cut off before the full detail.
Why it matters
Strong group-level electric growth points to more vehicles arriving on the road, but the scope limits (passenger cars only, group wide, unspecified geography) mean it should not be used as a proxy for one brand or one national market when sizing charging demand. Procurement and CPO teams should check the perimeter before drawing conclusions for site planning.
Camouflaged Toyota Corolla Cross, thought to be an EV, spotted on the road ahead of an expected 2027 debut
Electrek reports that a disguised prototype believed to be an electric Toyota Corolla Cross was seen driving near the automaker's European headquarters and research centre, with the images first published by China's Autohome. Electrek says the next Corolla generation will be the first to use Toyota's new multipathway platform, which is meant to support electric, hybrid, petrol and other powertrains, and that an electric version could have one or two motors and a range of at least 250 miles. Toyota has not confirmed battery or powertrain details or a US sales plan, while Nikkei reports production of the new generation is planned for 2028 through the FAW Toyota Motor joint venture in China.
Why it matters
A battery electric Corolla on a multipathway platform would put a very high volume nameplate into the EV market from around 2027, which could widen the base of mainstream drivers needing public and home charging. Details on battery size, charging speed and regional availability remain unconfirmed, so CPOs and procurement teams should treat any demand planning as provisional.
Rolls-Royce Spectre Series II for 2027 moves to NACS charging port in North America
Rolls-Royce has introduced the 2027 Spectre Series II, an update to the electric coupe first launched in 2022. According to EV Charging News Blog, it offers higher battery capacity, more driving range, faster charging and more power than the 2024 to 2026 model years, and North American cars switch from CCS1 to the NACS port. The input gives no specific figures for range, capacity or charging speed.
Why it matters
Another premium marque adopting NACS in North America adds to the shift away from CCS1, so CPOs and site developers should weigh native NACS connectors, or adapter support, in their charger specifications. Faster charging on ultra-premium vehicles also raises expectations for reliable high-power sites serving affluent drivers.
