The Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor Receiver Recall: What You Need to Do to Stay Safe
Some of Dexcom's continuous glucose monitoring receivers have been recalled due to speaker malfunctions, which can cause you to miss alerts or alarms for dangerous blood sugar levels. According to the Class I recall, there have been 112 complaints globally, with 56 reported injuries, since May 2025. Missing an alert from your continuous glucose monitor may result in health consequences like vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness and hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic symptoms. Certain Dexcom G6, G7, One and One Plus receivers are included in this recall. The One and One Plus receivers are available outside of the US. Dexcom is one of the most popular continuous glucose monitor brands, and many people with diabetes use Dexcom devices to track their glucose levels in real time. According to Dexcom's update, even without the audio output from the speaker, your receiver will still alert you through vibration and visual prompts. However, that's only so helpful when many people keep their receivers in their pockets or bags. People who use the mobile app for glucose values, alerts and alarms will still be able to do so without interruption. If you own a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor, here's what you should do right now A continuous glucose monitoring system has three parts: the glucose sensor you wear, a transmitter and the small receiver you keep for alerts. The receiver is being recalled, not the sensor you wear, so you shouldn't expect the readings you get from your device to be inaccurate. If you use a Dexcom continuous glucose monitor, check the complete list of affected devices for the model and serial number. You can also go to Dexcom's website to see if your device is affected. These numbers are on the back of your receiver. If your device is affected, contact Dexcom immediately for a free replacement. Continuous glucose monitors aren't something you can just stop using, so it's essential to get in your replacement order as soon as possible. Remember, while you wait, that there's a chance your receiver speaker isn't working correctly and you will not be alerted with a sound to spikes or drops in your blood sugar. You should regularly test the speakers each time you charge your receiver. When you plug the receiver in, the Speaker Test screen will appear for a few seconds. To test your sound, follow the directions on the screen. If it doesn't beep, then it's time to contact Dexcom. Remember that it's important to continue testing your speaker over time. Checking it once doesn't mean it can't fail in the future. Even if your device isn't under recall, this is a good habit to have. You can also test your receiver's speaker at any time through the device's menu. For support during this recall, contact Dexcom technical support at 1-844-478-1600.

Will NIO's Multi-Brand Strategy Come to Fruition With ONVO in 2025?
NIO Inc. NIO introduced its smart electric vehicle sub-brand, ONVO, in May 2024, to kick-start the company's transition into a multi-brand strategy. Designed to deliver an optimized ownership experience and exceptional value, ONVO's first model, the L60, officially entered the market on Sept. 28, 2024. Praised for its safety, spaciousness, class-leading energy efficiency and user-friendly charging experience, the L60 has resonated strongly with family customers. In the first four months of 2025, the ONVO L60 ranked among the top three best-selling battery electric vehicles in the RMB 200,000-300,000 price range. In the second quarter of 2025, the ONVO brand delivered 17,081 units, up from 14,781 vehicles delivered in the first quarter of brand's second model, the L90, a flagship large family SUV, will debut at the end of July, with deliveries commencing on Aug. 1, 2025, in China. A third ONVO SUV is set to launch in the fourth quarter, completing a more comprehensive SUV portfolio aimed at mass-market strong product reception, ONVO's overall sales performance this year has fallen short of the company's expectations, partly due to amortization and other financial pressures. Managing ONVO's operations and vehicle margins has proven challenging for the company. The key driver of gross vehicle margin for the ONVO brand is not expected to materialize until the third quarter. The company projects ONVO's 2025 vehicle margin to be approximately 15%, lower than the vehicle margin of 20% expected from the NIO brand. NIO carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks slower-than-expected EV adoption and the launch of affordable models, competition in the EV market is intensifying. NIO ONVO L60 is currently competing with Tesla's TSLA Model Y and XPeng's XPEV G6. Tesla Model 3/Y has reported a year-over-year decline in second-quarter deliveries due to lower demand amid rising competition. Tesla delivered 373,728 Model 3/Y in the second quarter of 2025, down from 422,405 units in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Priced at $14,000 less, NIO ONVO L60 has emerged as a strong budget-friendly rival of Tesla Model Y. On Feb. 26, XPeng unveiled official images of its refreshed 2025 G6 model. One of the G6's key competitive strengths over rivals like the ONVO L60 is its pricing. The XPeng G6 580 Long Range Plus is available for under 180,000 RMB. In comparison, the ONVO L60 60kWh rear-wheel-drive variant requires an upfront payment of nearly 150,000 RMB, plus a monthly battery rental fee of 599 RMB.

The updated Xpeng G6 could be the UK's fastest-charging electric car
Xpeng has updated its Tesla Model Y rival, the G6 crossover, with a round of styling tweaks and new battery technology that the firm claims will make it the fastest-charging EV in its class. The Chinese EV maker's mid-sized electric SUV was only revealed two years ago and has been on sale in the UK for just a few months, but it has already received a facelift to bring it up to date with its range-mates and rivals. Chief among the updates is a huge hike in maximum charging speed, from 280kW to 451kW. That's quick enough, Xpeng says, to give a 10-80% charge in just 12 minutes - although public chargers in the UK currently top out at around 350kW. Xpeng has not revealed how long the battery can sustain those peak charging speeds. Full specifications remain to be confirmed, but the new G6 claims a maximum range of 326 miles from the biggest-battery variant, suggesting a decrease in outright capacity over the previous Long Range car, which claimed 354 miles between charges. The changes under the floor come alongside a visual refresh, which brings a new full-width front light bar – following in the footsteps of its recently restyled Tesla rival – along with colour-coded wheel arches, a sleeker rear diffuser and a subtle rear spoiler. Updates inside include new wood-grain dashboard trim and various material quality improvements, and there is now the option of a digital rear-view mirror on higher-spec cars. Orders are now open in Europe for the updated G6 ahead of deliveries starting at the end of summer, but the firm's UK importer International Motors has yet to confirm when it will land here - although a public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed suggests it is not far away.

Xpeng and its market entry strategy for the UK
Chinese EV manufacturer Xpeng offers a range of smart EVs that focus on performance, sustainability and safety while also offering advanced technology for drivers and passengers. At present the company sells vehicles in several European countries and the UK (at present only the G6 SUV is offered in the UK), with plans for further expansion. Xpeng has already launched in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and now the UK. Xpeng's UK strategy involves aiming for a gradual presence in the premium EV segment. The OEM plans to achieve this by establishing a dealership network, while focusing on building trust and brand awareness for buyers - and focusing on its smart technology brand attributes. We spoke to William Brown, Xpeng's MD for UK and Ireland, to learn more about this strategy and Xpeng's vehicle offering. Just Auto (JA): When looking at Xpeng's UK strategy could you discuss product rollout, dealership experience and service infrastructure? William Brown (WB): The first product to be introduced to the UK market is the Xpeng G6. That's primarily because it's their first global product that they can sell into any market in the world. In the UK, the vehicles are right-hand drive as opposed to left-hand drive. Xpeng has been selling vehicles in Europe for about four years, but that was left-hand drive products. Product rollout With the global strategy, the basic aim is to start selling products into as many markets as possible across the globe. It's great to have the G6 because we think it's the perfect vehicle to get people to understand a bit about the Xpeng brand and product. It fits in the most accessible place for EVs, which is C/D segment, a family size vehicle at a reasonable price point. That's the first product that we're launching in the UK, and we're just rolling that out now. The next product that will be coming to us will be early next year, sometime in the first half - specific timeline still to be confirmed - will be the X9 which is exciting because it's Xpeng's flagship model. It's on sale in China and it's just been launched in Hong Kong. With the global strategy, the basic aim is to start selling products into as many markets as possible across the globe. The X9 will be the halo model for the brand, and that will further explain to customers about Xpeng as a tech brand. The next one after that is another model that's already on sale in European markets, the G9. The current model on sale in Europe is due to be replaced with a new version. I understand it's a new model of the G9, not a facelift or update. The G9 sells very well in Europe, particularly in northern Europe, and that is a D-segment premium SUV. The closest competitor would be something like the Kia EV9. We've got other models coming and I can't go into the specifics of those models at the moment, but there's potentially another model that will be launched in 2026. Dealership experience We're taking a slightly slower approach than other Chinese entrants. We've aimed for about twenty retailers this year, and we're taking our time to pick partners that are really enthusiastic about EVs and our technology. Some brands are appointing as many dealers as possible to get great coverage in the UK. Obviously, that's convenient for customers, but we haven't taken that approach. We get to meet the people in the business that are going to be selling the products, and we get to take the vehicle down to them, show them the vehicle; we can see how engaged they are, how they interact with technology, ensure that they share the vision for where the Xpeng brand is going to be. It's early days. It's not going to be a mass-market brand. Rather, it's a brand that has aspirations at some point in the future to be a premium brand, but it's really all about the technology story. We're very keen to try, as best we can, to explain the difference between a car company, a tech company, and a tech company that builds cars - that's what Xpeng is. It's quite a difficult one to explain to big audiences, but we'll certainly have a go. It's also about specific dealers that are more excited about the long-term, where this can go with things like autonomous driving and how that could work in the future. There are dealers that just want to sell a piece of metal, turn it over quickly and get good volume - that's not really the type of dealer we're looking for. Service infrastructure Having twenty sales outlets for this year (we're looking to increase that for next year), does leave a number of service coverage gaps across the UK territory. As part of the international motors' portfolio, we have got other brands and we're going to use - where it's right for those locations and partners - some of our assets around the country in terms of dealers and partners that can help with aftersales, warranty; so they become [Xpeng] service points. We've already got a number of dedicated Xpeng service points that aren't selling the vehicles, but they're there for consumers who have got queries, any issues that they may have, and we intend to roll that out further so we can try and take some of that nervousness away, too. When looking at the bigger picture what are the short-term and longer-term goals for Xpeng? The new Chinese entrants are moving at a speed that's unprecedented in terms of when the Koreans or the Japanese brought products to market decades ago. It is much quicker than anybody had anticipated. The short-term goal for Xpeng, between one and five years, is that, assuming we have various Chinese brands selling products in the UK, the expectation is that Xpeng gets recognised as the number one Chinese premium brand. In five years' time, if we've got ten or twelve Chinese brands in the UK selling various products, the aim is that Xpeng is recognised to be the premium, tech-focused brand. Then longer term, looking towards ten years, if we've established ourselves as a kind of leader in tech and premium among Chinese brands, then the next aim is to start to rival the established legacy premium brands – Audi, BMW etc. That's a very difficult area of the market to penetrate, but the exciting thing about EVs is we believe customers are not as fixed or as loyal to existing brands, because it's a different proposition from an ICE vehicle. An EV vehicle is much more about how technology integrates with day-to-day life, and so we're quite excited and we think EV is an opportunity to, potentially, take some of those customers that are maybe used to those established premium brands and get them to look at Chinese brands. With the technology that we've got on the car and in the pipeline, Xpeng will be a clear technology leader in automotive At the moment it'd be probably difficult to get Xpeng on the consideration list of somebody that has had BMWs, Audis and Mercedes, but I think in the future we should be able to get there. With the technology that we've got on the car and in the pipeline, Xpeng will be a clear technology leader in automotive. I can't see any of the legacy brands being able to keep up with the pace that Xpeng will be traveling at. Do you think EV adoption will carry on growing in the UK? The UK is probably a leader, with the exception of Norway. It's a leader because of the government trajectory in terms of targets for 2030. I think that for manufacturers working in the UK, it focuses your business plan around keeping in line with that and where the government wants to position automotive in the UK. At this moment in time, you can only see EV sales rising and the acceptance from consumers growing year on year. Obviously now there's more [charging] infrastructure around that being supported. I dare say there are going to be other incentives over the next few years to help consumers get on that journey. We're really excited that to have a brand like Xpeng which is a new energy vehicle brand that is pretty much dedicated EV. It feels like a really good space to be in. There are some aspects of the market that are challenging, of course, but I think that's short-term. When we get through the 2025-2026 period, the market in 2027 is going to be completely different to how it is today and that's what we're focused on.
