  2. @androcat @Pionir @Sustainable2050
    Classic car conversions and various other firms do just that, convert useful and ornamental classic cars to #BEVs

    Their #Teslarossa looks lovely, and their #LandRoverDefender is useful.

    The Mercedes-acquired radial flux motors offer the prospect of a pair of pusher-stopper units to bolt on 2 or 4 corners of a vehicle.

    But conversions must lag original new builds, as they are.

  4. More people buy used cars than new cars. It couldn't be any other way, given how durable they are now.
    The supply of nice #BEVs a couple of years old has risen steadily, trailing the uptake of new ones, which has been accelerating, so now people are buying, or leasing, used BEVs.

    Another couple of years and the third hand market will pick up, and the wave of (moderate) virtue move onward.

    Meanwhile the #air in our cities is cleaner, and the towns will follow.

  6. Making EVs Great Again, Again 🇪🇺⚡ Europe's EV transition hits another milestone. In May 2026: 🔋 #BEVs reached 24% market share (+39% YoY) ⚡ Plug-in #EV vehicles > 35% of all new car sales. The "EV slowdown" narrative is looking increasingly short-lived. #Bettrification #BYD

  8. Average #BEVs now cheaper to buy than #average #ICEVs in #UK
    Been cheaper to run for a while.

  10. Over116 000 public #chargers for #BEVs now in the #UK [1]
    Most charging is done at home, some at work.

    8200 #petrol stations with 7.3 pumps each.

    Very few petrol pumps at #home, some, not many, at work: fleet operators.

    One day, every #town will have a petrol station. And a while later, not every town will.

  12. Living in Virginia and being a low-mileage driver, owning an #EV means I pay a penalty for that EV. Virginia is one of many states that charges a annual fees on #BEVs, #PHEVs and #HEVs. This fee is notionally designed to make up for the tax not being collected on gasoline sales. In Virginia, the fees are fixed, based solely on vehicle type. A fixed-fee means that if you drive fewer miles then than the assessment basis, you're effectively subsidizing others who drive greater miles than the fee's basis.

    With an
    #ICE vehicle, one pays based only on what one actually uses.

    Across our two vehicles, we typically drive less than 9,000mi/yr (which was why, when setting up the lease for our EV, we selected the 7500mi/year lease option ...and are likely to actually underburn it by +1,000mi/yr). I'm going to guess that we're
    several thousand miles under the fee's basis

  14. Range anxiety? Gone in a puff of smoke. China’s #BEVs now roll with 70–100 kWh packs, delivering 700–900 km and recharging in minutes. PHEVs lose their last excuse as bigger batteries become the norm. Lithium demand soars, powering cars, grids & trucks. The future isn’t hybrid—it’s fully electric.

  16. @chargeupeurope.bsky.social: ➡️ “There are some 6 million #BEVs on European roads. A figure that grew by another million over the last 6 months. A significant increase, and testament to the positive impact Europe's emissions targets are having on driving #EV uptake.” www.linkedin.com/posts/charge...

  18. Beim Laden des #BEVs spät abends auf einem Supermarktparkplatz in der Provinz von der alkoholisierten Dorfjugend erklärt zu bekommen, was mit dem Auto alles nicht geht und bei mangelnder Bestätigung ihrer Auffassung Schläge angedroht zu bekommen, gehört auch zu den Erlebnissen, die man mit Verbrennern eher nicht so macht.

    (Sprit hätte ich da übrigens nicht bekommen, die Tanken dort waren längst zu…)
