China leads the world in solar deployment. Even parking lots and rooftops are being turned into solar power plants — generating electricity while using space that’s already paved.

China also exceeded its 2030 wind + solar capacity target (1.2 TW) in 2024 — about six years early. #Bettrification

Autobahn is not very consumption friendly, we're six passengers and packed to the brim so we're 3 tons on the road, had full headwind almost the whole way here, curious what it'll be like tomorrow :)

who is they? @mliebreich.bsky.social?

#alwaysbecharging #rentelectric #evroadtrip #familylife | Felix Hamer Tomorrow is family road trip day! 1000 km Scuol (CH) -> Amsterdam (NL) with a pitstop in Heidelberg halfway, (some family members taking the train on Monday). The way here was extremely comfortable in...

🔋 As more BESS comes online, profitability will tighten.

Few years back, ancillary services dominated revenues. Today, it’s energy trading, with operators relying on data/AI optimization.

But how long will that work as markets become more saturated?

adding another 1000 km on the ODO of this brand new EV9 tomorrow!

Colin McCarthy: "China has now built 1.2 TW of solar capacity as of the end of 2025.

Assuming just a 21% solar capacity factor, that much solar could power every single home in America.

This graph is even more insane than you think it is."

agreed! #rentelectric

"challenge" it's about fun :)

welk geld?

Tomorrow the 1000 km family EV(9) challenge!

Volkswagen Dealers Revolt Over Plan to Sell a New Brand of SUV Directly to Consumers The latest of several lawsuits seeks to stop the automaker from bypassing dealerships.

Who has the right to sell you a new car in the United States?

VW-owned Scout wants to run the Tesla playbook and go direct. But VW's American dealers are settling in for a long legal fight to cement their role in the sales process:

Je kunt beter elektrisch gaan rijden: kost minder tijd, goedkoper, minder afhankelijk van andere landen en beter voor het klimaat.

BYD stellt neue Autobatterie vor, die in 5 Minuten von 10 bis 70 % geladen werden kann.

Früher war das Autoland Deutschland ein Zentrum der Innovation. Heute müssen wir immer öfter nach #China schauen. #BYD zeigt Akkus, die in 5 Minuten von 10 auf 70 % laden. Trotzdem hält die Verbrennerfraktion hierzulande am Alten fest – und wir verspielen Zukunft und Wohlstand.

Trump's oil war is giving windmills a big boost. I love that for him.

There is a clear trend that emerges. Countries first tap into the solar market, then a year later they seek to deploy batteries.

Europe did that after the gas crisis caused by Russia's attack on Ukraine. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

How Fossil Fuel Disruptions Lead to Booms in Solar and Batteries Past oil crises forced countries to cut fuel use and pay high prices, but now falling prices of clean tech offer another solution.

Past fossil-fuel price spikes left import-dependent countries with two options: pay up or cut fuel use. Now there is an alternative in solar and batteries.

I looked at recent examples in Europe, Pakistan, Cuba to glean what might happen with the war on Iran.

Green dividends

Meanwhile, Spain's massive investment in renewables is paying dividends now: with prices for Spanish industry and consumers low and stable compared with other European economies.

Fascinating to watch 🇫🇷, then 🇬🇧, then 🇮🇹, now 🇩🇪 start to acknowledge what 🇪🇸's government recognised from the very start: the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless intervention conducted without regard for rules of war and without a strategy for what comes next.

2 wars in 4 years. This war will accelerate Solar +Batteries + EVs as real Energy Security.

"rest of the world will learn an important lesson from China. Build out your renewables so you aren't as dependent on imported fossil fuels & the whims of idiots"

80 million EVs are on the road globally. That’s already displacing roughly ~2 million barrels of oil every day — about 2% of global demand.

Roughly the oil consumption of Italy or South Korea… gone.

You can fight the sun, sanction it, bomb it, fear it — but you can’t stop it. #Bettrification

just imagine if Deutschland actually wanted to sell affordable EVs! bsky.app/profile/luis...
