#automobiles — Public Fediverse posts

Tidbit here about EVs in this LA times article:

"...California’s EV adoption keeps climbing, with nearly 1 in 6 new cars fully electric, robust used sales and hundreds of millions in state incentives replacing lost federal rebates...."

(California) "now has more public chargers than gas pumps"

#Carpocalypse sur #ClermontFerrand aujourd'hui.

Pourquoi? Parce que notre nouveau maire de droite joue le bras de fer avec la #T2C, #TransportsEnCommun #Clermontois : réduction des budgets, suppression des couloirs #bus/trambus.

Du coup, c'est la #GrèveDesTransports et sans surprise, un jeudi post-rentrée de septembre, tous les grands axes #automobiles sont bloqués.

Seuls les #piétons et les #cyclistes tirent leur épingle du jeu.

Bravo M. Bony, surtout ne changez rien et continuez à supprimer des couloirs bus (oui, c'est annoncé Cours Sablon, Bd Mitterrand + suppression de la #ZTL de l'hyper-centre)

Merci #vroomer !

Grève, retards, surcoût : rentrée mouvementée dans les transports en commun à #ClermontFerrand

Alors que le nombre d’usagers est en forte hausse depuis la mise en place d’ #InspiRe, les #TransportsEnCommun #clermontois connaissent une rentrée mouvementée, entre l’impact de la réouverture de la rue de l’Oradou aux #automobiles sur la performance du réseau et la perspective d’une grève suivie à la #T2C à partir du mardi 1er septembre.

#RobertDowneyJr. weaves introspection and environmentalism into a show about #cars
While “#DowneysDreamCars” is very much a show for #gearheads, it isn't restricted to that audience. Downey experiments with genre in a kind of #ecofriendly “#PimpMyRide” that is also part memoir and a documentary about the latest advancements in clean technology.
