Exeed EX6 plug-in hybrid pictured in China
DriveAgent's EVs and hybrids news page on 29 September 2026 carried news of a new five-seat plug-in hybrid SUV from Exeed, pictured in China, with the vehicle identified as the EX6. The page states that Exeed's dimensions and basic engine details for the SUV were reported from Chinese filings, meaning the specifications currently circulating are drawn from regulatory records rather than a company launch presentation. 1
DriveAgent's report draws a deliberate distinction between the vehicle itself and its commercial future: the EX6's reported launch schedule and its place in Chery Group's Australian plans are described as separate questions. No launch date, Australian timing or specification confirmation is attached to the picture and filings-based details in that report, and this article does not infer either from their absence. 1
Renault's Gordini-inspired electric coupe is a one-off
Renault has unveiled a fully electric, rear-wheel-drive two-seat coupe inspired by the 1964 Renault 8 Gordini, reporting a 270hp output for the concept, according to DriveAgent's EVs and hybrids coverage. The company describes the car as a one-off style exercise that will not be commercialised, so there is no production variant, market availability or pricing attached to the project. 2
The concept's documented future is a programme of public appearances: DriveAgent's report states the coupe will be shown at the Renault Carwalk event and the Paris Motor Show before heading to the company's planned Flins museum. That itinerary is the only stated schedule for the vehicle; nothing beyond it is described in the report. 2
EV infrastructure context
On the wider EV infrastructure front, EV Infrastructure News reported on 25 September 2026, in an article by JP Casey, that the UK plans to invest over US$9 billion into EV batteries, but that the country must make up a 55GWh battery supply gap. The figures come from that publication's report and are specific to the UK market rather than Australia. 4
For historical comparison within charging infrastructure, EV Infrastructure News previously reported in an April 2017 article by Liam Stoker that Tesla pledged to 'aggressively expand' its Supercharger network that year. The item is included here as dated context on public charging build-outs and predates the current Australian EV news cycle; it carries no connection to the Exeed or Renault developments above. 3
