  1. Susan got a lightly used 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid today to replace her 20-year-old Prius. I've never been too keen on Hyundai as they were nothing special a few years ago, but I can see that they've come a long way. Very impressive for the price range. Styling doesn't knock me out, but it's quiet, loaded w/ features and compares well to my 335i. A 100k mile warranty & local dealer made us consider Hyundai, & finding this nearly new example at a good price sealed the deal.

  2. Canadian government to plant 55,000 EV chargers in Canadian soil to grow the EV revolution.

    The pressure is working.

    This is a major commitment, a social change commitment. The only path out of climate change is 👉 building the new energy.

    This is that.

    👏 Thank you Prime Minister Carney.

    👉 Now spend billions building solar and wind to feed them.

    Keep up the pressure Canadian voters. It's working: Yell "BUILD!"

  3. The EU and UK are set to delay a 10% tariff on electric cars.

    Europe’s motor industry is set to receive a major reprieve after the EU and the UK moved to delay tariffs on electric vehicles that carmakers had warned would make them more vulnerable to Chinese competition.

  4. A second-hand grievance about Electric Cars (infrastructure): It would be so dead-easy to make things nice from the get-go. But somehow capitalism & oil-like thinking is making the whole experience WAY worse than necessary.

  6. oh and thanks to all here for your input on EVs/hybrids...

    I bought a car!

    Somewhat unexpectedly that it happened so fast.

    I went to test drive a few last weekend but this was a very good deal and the numbers worked out.

    I am SO happy with this car. 2027 Toyota Corolla, extremely basic model but that's all I need (and honestly even pretty basic new cars come with plenty bells & whistles).

    And I love love LOVE when I finish a trip and it tells me I averaged 65.5 MPG 💚 💚 💚 💚

    (I *am* having to get used to not having a hatchback of some form. This is the first sedan I've had in... decades...)

  7. Nikki thought she'd found it: cell 1 of 20, reading far lower than the rest. 😬

    But the bike had never lost power. So she opened the battery up again, found an unlabelled B0 point, and measured again: 4.07 volts, just like every other cell. The fuse post wasn't the place to measure from.

    Trust, but verify. ✅

  9. RE: m.ai6yr.org/@headlines_bot/117

    Self-inflicted wound. Nissan was a leader in BEV vehicles; the LEAF was the second-best selling EV in the world behind the Model 3. And then they let their foot off the accelerator…

  10. When the sorry history of climate breakdown is written, assuming there are still historians left to write it, one of the most calamitous chapters will certainly be the failure to electrify our transport systems quickly enough.
    Here’s George Monbiot to tell you about it. His article is from a UK perspective but applies equally to North America.

  11. Well, it took four months of on-and-off editing, but I finally finished my BYD Atto 3 review/day trip to Kamakura vlog!

  12. Voor iedereen die denkt dat de europese auto industrie niet sneller/radicaler moet veranderen en moet stoppen met productie van fossiele brandstof auto's (die worden samen met hybride auto's nog steeds gemaakt...), zie deze chinese auto:

  13. "For at least the past 30 years, as new electromotive technologies have progressed at speed, they plainly represented the future, and internal combustion engines, with their hard efficiency limits and vast impacts on human and planetary life, the past."
