  1. I used to wonder whether androids dream of electric sheep.

    Turns out the more pertinent question in 2026 is:

    Do sheep dream of electric cars? 🐑💭⚡🚗

    New Zealand, passenger #EVs = 36.7% in July

    Philip K. Dick was asking the wrong bloody question. 😂 #Bettrification

  3. 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.

  8. This is the "thing" about E. Musk no one talks about! From the good peeps at ProfGMedia.

    "It’s hard to imagine how one person could manage being CEO of two public companies and de facto head of a major social media platform at the same time. The mathematical reality is that Musk is a part-time CEO." profgmedia.com/p/michael-burry #ProfGMedia #Musk #CEO #SpaceX #Tesla #StarLink #SocialMedia #AI #Space

  10. Instead of condemning them for what they really are -- death machines on wheels -- the auto and oil industries have elevated ice cars to status symbol, to be desired, to be worshipped. And everyone fell for it. Well, not everyone, of course.

    The sad part is that it's actually everyone, entire countries paying the price for the diabolical existence of ice cars.

  12. Once again I'm wondering why public transport planners don't have a fleet of electric minibuses available as well as full-size diesel buses. They seem like a cheaper way to run scheduled bus services during off-peak hours, on neighbourhood bus routes where they routinely carry only a handful of people.

  14. #Europe EV Sales Report: Full Battery #EVs (BEVs) Jump 50% & Reach 26% Market Share! High demand due to new, cheaper models & high gas prices. Some 366,000 #BEVs were registered in June: 50% increase YoY, which is a new BEV record! #CleanTechnica article. #CleanAir

    I was also disappointed that vehicle to grid storage wasn't mentioned in the Seattle Times' article about how the utilities are saying we need a lot more gas to meet projected peak demand.

    It looks as if the next round of EVs are all going to provide bidirectional charging. In 2024, people in WA bought about 155,000 full battery electric cars. Of course it’s not all available whenever we might want to use it, but at 65kWh of capacity per battery I think that’s roughly 10 gigawatt hours of storage capacity being added every year, and it’s mostly sitting in driveways 90% of the times, especially at night during our winter peak demands.

    Yes, that caught my attention too, thanks for reminding me. James Campbell on ABC #Insiders “There are two kinds of people: people who own an electric vehicle, and people who are thinking about buying one.”

  19. British households without off street parking can now install pavement channels for running charging cables to EVs parked at the curb. The covers for these lie flush with the sidewalk rather than sitting on top of it. Kerbo Charge seems to be the leading company. Its channels have flexible sort of zipper seal cover; you press the cable down through that and pull it back up after charging. Charge Gully, which has been bought by Kerbo Charge, has a channel with a hinged, lockable cover. Gul-E's have a slot for the cable with with flexible brushes just below the surface to keep out dirt and leaves. The government has allocated 25 million pounds to help local councils with installations.
