  1. Tesla went from EV king to shifting focus to robotics and space. Did they choose a bold reinvention or admit defeat? 🤔 Rebecca Fannin, author of The New Tech Titans of China, says China’s BYD just overtook Tesla in its home market. 50% of new Chinese cars are electric.

  3. I'm traveling and currently renting a car -- the first gasoline-powered car I've driven in some time. A single fill-up costs as much as what I pay to power my #EV for a whole month. Why does anyone still drive these dinosaurs? #ElectricVehicles are just better.

  4. Political will permitting, laws can very quickly be drafted to nip in the bud the link between the gig economy & overpowered, illegal e-vehicles.

    Australia's gig economy just won wage floor reforms, while in New York cease-and-desist letters have gone out to the likes of #amazon #temu and #bestbuy

    It's now our move in the UK to mirror some of these positive steps:

  5. I am going to purchase my first electric vehicle #EV!

    Found a great deal on a #Tesla Cybertruck, comes with a free pair of #Meta glasses!

    It’s a real and growing problem which should be addressed by new legislation — full disclosure. Just as we fight to ensure food product labels are accurate and complete, the same ought to be law for “phone home” products including vehicles. IMO

    230 statt 125 Candela: Tesla ruft 20.349 Autos zurück — eine Reparatur gibt es noch nicht
    "
    "Zwei Jahre lang wehrte sich Tesla gegen den Rückruf, jetzt hat die US-Behörde entschieden: 20.349 Model 3 und Model Y strahlen im Abblendlicht zu hell. Eine Abhilfemaßnahme wird noch entwickelt."

  8. Modern #EV #Batteries Last Way, Way Longer Than Those 'EV Skeptics' Want You To Think
    One study put the expected lifetime of a modern EV #battery somewhere between 15 and 20 years. On average, they found batteries lost 1.8% of their capacity a year. As we pointed out at the time, that means a 318-mile-range Hyundai Ioniq 5 would still be expected to retain a 200-mile range after 20 years, assuming there were no other issues with the battery pack.

  9. Christ on a bike!

    Just popped down the shops and saw the price of diesel, €1.98 a litre 😬

    At that price I can afford to replace the battery in my #nissanleaf #ev every 5 years!

    Cost of fuel per 16000km for an Opel Insignia 2.0 Cdti (same size and weight vehicle) works out around €1774

    Home charging the Leaf at €0.06/kWh works out around €162, or if I only ever fast charge at €0.64/kWh it's €1740

  10. EVCC ist echt ein heißer Scheiß. Heute vor einer Fahrt noch mal 5 % nachladen. Morgen am Nachmittag bei 20 ct/kWh auf 80 % ziehen, und Samstagnacht vor der Fahrt in die Bretagne auf 100 %.

  11. 1 in 2 new cars sold in China is electric – a stat that flips the global auto story. BYD now leads, while Tesla shifts focus. What does this mean for Europe’s makers? Rebecca Fannin, author of The New Tech Titans of China, breaks it down. Watch: youtube.com/shorts/1q9B1cR_KL8 #BYD #Tesla #EV #ChinaTech

  12. @MessagingMatters

    I was going to get a light at for nighttime country driving for my new #EV (NOT TESLA!)

    But the default ones are so bright, they set vegetation on fire...also, I think they also have a dynamic illumination (not just high/low beam) !

  13. The price argument against #EVs is quickly evaporating. We have affordable and fun #cars like the #Renault 5 and #Hyundai #Inster, we have manufacturers selling their electric vans for the same price as ICE. The #Kia #PV5 is challenging all in the compact van space, regardless of power source. And I just noticed that the cheapest crew cab #pickup in Finland, regardless of power source, is the #KGM #Musso #EV.

    Now part of that is high taxes on ICE versions, but even before tax, prices are close.

  14. One last thing!

    The word on the water is that the first of the “Island” class small hybrid ferries will be going all-electric on the Gabriola route! There are two ships on that route, twins, they are rebuilding the docks now to get them ready for charging!

    The ferries themselves are already VERY quiet. Will I take a trip to Gabriola Island just to ride the first fully electric, non-cable, ferries in B.C.! Absolutely!

  15. Here is the B.C. Ferries web page about the “New Major Vessels” project. (There was stupid controversy because “omg not China” but that has died down now thankfully)

    They want up to 7 (which makes sense… to be able to retire all the Queens and add one for new capacity), they asked for 5, they got 4 approved to be built by 2031. The most interesting graphic is this age graphic showing the age of ships on the major routes. Eventually, these ships WILL have to be replaced, regardless of political footballs…

  16. Some really interesting electric power math here for #BCFerries upcoming large transitional hybrid-to-full electric ferries. They will be known as the “Summit” class. 2100 passengers and crew, almost 400 cars. These are big ships.

    Equivalent to the biggest Spirit Class between Victoria and Tsawwassen. So would be replacing the last of the 1970s Queens and possibly one of the Spirit or Coastal ships? We’ll see.

    Anyway: They will initially have 10Megawatt Hours (MWh) of battery capacity as hybrid diesel/electric which is interesting, not natural gas like some of the other recent hybrids. (Which always felt like a stupid political decision to show off LNG, not a sound engineering decision)

    They will then, once docks are upgraded for electric charging, be refit with 60MWh of batteries (total 70MWh) to “enable 2 hours of emissions free sailing”. In distance terms, that’s the one-way sailing time between Duke Point Terminal in Nanaimo and Tsawwassen in Vancouver, about 40 nautical miles (74km).

    For comparison, my Kona EV car has a 65kilowatt hour battery… 1000x less capacity!.. giving a range of 450km.

    That’s a very heavy ship!!🛳️

    It’s a pretty tight capacity window considering the major routes are all between 1.5hrs and 2hrs. But they could be being conservative in the press release, indicating they would comfortably fit those timelines, or they will be still using hybrid power and shore docking ports to augment and ensure they have adequate power. They will always need lots of reserve and backup for safety.

    I also imagine in the 30-60 year lifetime of the ships, we could see the energy density of batteries in general increase, so a refit in 2040 or 2050 could replace 70MWh with 100 or 140MWh in the same physical space.

    What seems sure though is that B.C. Ferries is going to have some, if not the, largest fully electric capable ferries in the world. That’s a good thing.

    First ship of 4 will arrive from China in 2029. Last of the class arrives in 2031. So hopefully we get our first ride in 2030! Looking forward to it!

  17. Get an EV I thought. They’re the future I thought. They’re cheap to run I thought.

    Until they need new tyres…

  18. In other words: Formula E can use 150% of its #battery capacity during a race::
    "One of the things I love about Formula E is that we start with roughly 50% of the energy actually required to complete the race. Everything else comes through regenerative braking and the energy-management strategy we deploy. That’s something you could never do with a combustion engine.” #EV
