Exclusive: Kia commits to hatchbacks with wave of Golf rivals
Kia is committed to launching more hatchbacks and saloons, rather than going all in on SUVs, as it prepares the European launch of ICE-powered and electric hatchbacks to rival the Volkswagen Golf and ID 3. Speaking exclusively to Autocar, Kia executive vice-president Ted Lee said there was still 'big volume' for hatchback models in Europe in particular, and he confirmed the firm would continue to offer them and indeed launch all-new family hatchback models. The first of these new hatchbacks, the EV4, will be the first electric Kia to be built in Europe when it's launched in the UK in October. The hatchback will be built at Kia's plant in Slovakia, but it will also be offered as a saloon imported into Europe from South Korea. The EV4 will be joined by the new K4, which was unveiled in hatchback form at the recent New York motor show and will eventually replace the outgoing Ceed in Europe. The EV4 takes the place of the Ceed in the Slovakian factory, so the K4 will be imported to Europe from Kia's plant in Mexico in both hatch and saloon forms. An estate version of the K4 has also been spotted undergoing testing, making what would be a three-strong model range for the K4 ahead of an expected launch later this year. More broadly, Lee believes that Kia currently has a 'strong position in Europe'. He added: 'Especially in the UK, where we have a very strong stance'. Lee was the first Korean to work at Kia UK , joining in 2002, when the UK operation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kia's main global business. He now co-ordinates the firm's global business outside of Korea. While Kia sales in Europe did slip back slightly year-on-year in 2024, they have still grown more than 30% since 2020. In the UK, Kia has sold more than 100,000 cars for three years running, and it is currently the third best-selling brand in 2025, less than 300 units behind second-placed BMW. Increased competition in Europe from Chinese brands makes for a 'difficult market ', Lee admitted, but Kia will look to further strengthen its aftersales, parts supply and customer journeys in particular. 'We have to strengthen the advantages of Kia in the market,' he said. Kia will not get embroiled in a price war in Europe in the face of new lower-cost competition and will not 'push' cars onto the market; it will instead maintain a laser focus on residual values, which it credits as partly responsible for the 'sustainable growth' the brand has enjoyed. Lee said Kia has done this by maintaining a 'pull demand strategy', by which cars are not pushed to dealers and onto customers at discounted rates but built and sold according to customer demand. Describing this as a 'healthy cycle', Lee said: ' It might sound very easy, but in reality it requires a very strong determination and sense of principle.' ]]>

Diaz happy at Liverpool but future uncertain
Diaz remains a target despite Liverpool's stance Barcelona's pursuit of Diaz continues in the background. The Athletic revealed that the Spanish giants made contact with Liverpool on Wednesday to enquire about the 27-year-old. However, the Merseyside club issued an immediate rejection and maintain their position that Diaz is not for sale this summer. Despite this firm stance, there is growing uncertainty over the long-term future of the winger, who joined Liverpool from Porto in January 2022. Diaz is currently contracted until 2027, but sources indicate there is little expectation of an extension. Advertisement The Colombian is still operating under the terms of his original deal, which places him well below the club's top earners. While Diaz remains an integral part of Arne Slot's squad, and despite past reports from Sky Sports suggesting Liverpool were preparing an improved contract offer, meaningful progress has yet to be made. Contract stalemate clouds Diaz's Anfield future Liverpool reportedly explored the possibility of a renewal earlier this year, with the aim of rewarding Diaz's elevated status. However, no agreement has been reached. With two years left on his deal, the club faces a strategic decision: either cash in this summer or retain him until the end of the 2026–27 season and risk losing him on a free transfer. Insiders suggest that the latter option is more likely, with Liverpool valuing Diaz's contribution on the pitch more than any immediate financial gain. The club would prefer to maximise his influence across the next two campaigns, even if it means allowing him to depart without a transfer fee in 2027, when he will be 30. Diaz speaks out amid swirling speculation Amid interest from across Europe, Diaz himself has spoken publicly about his situation. While on international duty with Colombia, the winger reiterated his commitment to Liverpool but acknowledged that talks are ongoing behind the scenes. 'I'm very happy at Liverpool, I've always said so. They've welcomed me very well from day one. 'We're currently in contact with Liverpool because we're talking to clubs, and that's normal given the transfer market that's opening. We're trying to work out what's best for us. 'I'm just waiting to see what happens. If Liverpool gives us a good renewal or I still have the [two] years left with them, I'll be happy and content there.' His comments underline a player content with his current environment but open to future developments, leaving both Liverpool and Barcelona with decisions to make as the transfer window unfolds.

Coal Power Costs Soar 28% Since 2021, Rising Faster Than Inflation
Portrait of a mid adult man in his 30s checking his energy bills at home. He has a worried ... More expression and touches his face with his hand while looking at the bills. He is surrounded by documents, his laptop and a calculator. America's power bills are soaring. Coal-fired electricity keeps making it worse. Between 2021 and 2024 the cost to generate coal-fired electricity across the United States has skyrocketed 28%, according to new Energy Innovation analysis – nearly twice the rate of inflation over that same time, with the highest price spikes in states east of the Mississippi. Existing coal-fired power plants are also running far less than in the past because coal is more expensive than clean energy, which drives up the cost of every megawatt-hour of energy they generate, and forced consumers to pay $6.2 billion more for the same amount of power in 2024 than they would have in 2021. It's another hit to America's bottom line as fossil fuels force families to make hard financial choices – 34% of households had to cut back or skip necessary expenses in the past 12 months to pay energy bills, while 23% were unable to pay part or all of their energy bill. But coal's rising costs could crunch consumer budgets even further. Executive orders issued by the Trump administration would force utilities to keep expensive coal-fired power plants online even if they increase consumer costs or were scheduled to close. This has already forced a Michigan coal-fired power plant to remain online even though the utility that operates it said closing the plant would save its customers more than $600 million. The Trump administration promised to cut energy bills in half by the middle of 2026 but coal's soaring costs threaten American consumers with the exact opposite. Coal-fired power plants have only gotten more expensive since Energy Innovation's 2023 Coal Cost Crossover report, which found 99% of America's existing coal fleet cost more to simply keep running than replacing them all with new local solar, wind, and energy storage. This new analysis shows 95% of the 162 U.S. coal-fired power plants that were still operating at the beginning of 2025 were more expensive than in 2021, and costs increased at twice the rate of inflation for half of these plants. 2024 Weighted Average Cost of Coal Power By State In 2021, the weighted average cost of a MWh of power generated by coal-fired power plants was $36/MWh, and in 2024 the average cost was $46/MWh, or 28% higher in just three years. The Consumer Price Index, a proxy for inflation, grew 16% over the same time. Coal prices have been highest in Appalachian coal mines, but digging rocks out of the ground to crush and burn simply costs more across the country than other forms of energy. Average coal commodity spot prices compared to average coal price for electricity generation Coal plants also cost more to run because they're getting geriatric (the average U.S. coal plant age was around 44 years in 2024), which increases operations and maintenance costs – things tend to break as they get older. The average coal plant capacity factor, or the amount of time they are generating power, dropped from 46% in 2021 to 38% in 2024, which increases their overall cost to run. Consumers are already paying the toll for these expensive power plants. In Georgia, Plant Bowen was originally scheduled to retire in 2028, but Georgia Power recently extended its life to 2035 despite costs increasing from $46/MWh in 2021 to $72/MWh in 2025. That decision came on the heels of Georgia Power forcing consumers to endure six electricity bill rate increases between 2023-2025 while the utility's profits soared 10% over the same time. In South Carolina, the Williams Station coal-fired power plant had its retirement pushed back from 2028 to at least 2031, even though its costs have spiked by $27/MWh, or more than 50%, while South Carolina energy costs are forecast to rise 6.3% this summer. In Ohio, consumers have been forced to pay $679 million over the past decade via fees on their power bills to subsidize two money-losing coal-fired power plants owned by the Ohio Valley Electric Corporation – including a whopping $172 million in 2024 alone. Statewide, electricity rates just jumped anywhere from 10%-36% across Ohio's six major utilities. The list goes on and on. Michigan is the newest front in this war on affordability. Following the Trump administration's April executive orders to prop up coal, the U.S. Department of Energy declared an 'energy emergency' and ordered the 63-year old J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant to stay open at least through this summer to avoid a 'risk of blackouts.' But the truth is that no energy emergency exists in Michigan. Consumers Energy decided to close Campbell in 2022 after determining the regional MISO grid had enough extra capacity for it to be shut down, and estimated closing the plant would save its customers $600 million. 'We currently produce more energy in Michigan than needed,' said Dan Scripps, Chair of Michigan's Public Service Commission. 'As a result, there is no existing energy emergency in either Michigan or MISO.' Pro-coal federal officials say keeping expensive coal-fired power plants online to meet America's surging electricity demand is a good idea, but relying on these aging plants will hit consumers harder and harder every year. These impacts aren't theoretical; families and businesses are already paying the toll. Across the country, electricity prices have risen nearly 20% since 2021, and consumer electricity rates have risen fastest in states that rely heavily upon coal like Kentucky and West Virginia, where electricity rates rose 24% between 2021 and 2024. Compare that to states with the highest levels of wind and solar generation like Colorado, Iowa, Oklahoma, or New Mexico where consumers have experienced the lowest rate increases and it's clear power price spikes are driven by fossil fuel price volatility and the climate change impacts they cause. The good news is state officials and utility regulators have the power to protect Americans from rising coal costs while ensuring the grid can meet rising electricity demand. Solar, wind, and energy storage composed 93% of new resources added to the grid in 2024, and moving those proposed resources through the interconnection queue is the fastest way to get new generation online. Utilities and their regulators can also get more out of the grid by reconductoring existing transmission lines with advanced conductors, or deploying demand response and energy efficiency. Regulators can also prevent hidden costs of coal-fired power with common-sense policy. For instance, many states permit coal-fired power to run even when they're not the cheapest available generation – this 'uneconomic dispatch' costs consumers more than $2 billion annually and is most prevalent in the Southeast and Western U.S. Utilities and grid operators have plenty of options to keep the lights on, but consumers often have very few options on the price they pay for electricity. Inflation and fossil fuel prices keep rising – doubling down on coal will only harm consumers.
