"18 mo after inception, the project is already well on its way to achieving the overall goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions from ferry traffic by 10–20%. ⚓👍

In the picture, the ferry M/S Silverö, which is now powered by electricity"

tiny hiccup here: they aren't electric

How do batteries in the most advanced battery storage geographies make returns?

Once frequency response markets are saturated, they move into the next best market, often energy trading.

Their impact at peak is usually at the expense of thermal plant which will see reduced run hours.

@jigarshahdc.bsky.social:
"The electricity system is the largest commodity supply chain in the world that doesn’t feature storage
Every technology benefits from storage
Top 1% of peak hours are 8% of your bill. Top 10% of hours are 40% of your bill
Batteries provide more tools to flatten out peaks."

my goodness what will be on those ships

"Bonus question: Which country leads in solar, batteries, AND smart grid technologies that allow efficient (high-voltage) power transmission across an entire continent?"

"China has more mega battery projects in the pipeline than the rest of the world combined."

"These might look like shipping containers in the desert, but they are actually the key to unlocking a clean energy revolution.

Across California, installations of mega batteries store power from renewable sources and distribute it when people need it most."

this is where copying tesla, brought in....

the change is visible, you can smell it AT SINOPEC ESPECIALLY bsky.app/profile/elec...

Drastischer Wandel in Autowerkstätten: Wie E-Autos das Geschäft mit Reparaturen verändern Die E-Mobilität wandelt das Werkstattgeschäft grundlegend, klassische Reparaturen entfallen zunehmend. In Norwegen bricht der Umsatz für Wartungen von E-Autos bereits ein.

from "Durch E-Fahrzeuge wird sich der Wartungsmarkt stark veraendern." www.t-online.de/mobilitaet/a...

"According to #ADAC, maintenance costs can be 20 to 30% lower than for a comparable combustion engine.

A test of "Auto Bild" even showed differences of up to 54 percent – in favor of a VW ID.3 compared to a Golf VII diesel.

Less mechanical parts, less effort, one would think."

Berliners can park a car on the street all year long for the price of two, maybe 3 döner kebabs. Unlike public space, the number of permits is not limited.

It's not even covering the costs of administration, let alone the costs to the public.

I've finally got round to editing a video from our EV camper van trip In January 😅

In this episode, we explore Portugal and experience a very dangerous campsite hookup issue 😬https://youtu.be/n9zQ2Ngftpg

A total of 90 additional EV charging hubs are set to be built across Ireland thanks to €9.9 million of public funding, which will improve public charging coverage.

"Bono Ge, who heads BYD in UK, was told by Li last spring to increase monthly sales in the country fivefold to 2,000 vehicles

BYD well exceeded that target last month,selling a record 11,271 vehicles, a near 10-fold jump from the previous year, catapulting UK to BYD’s biggest market outside China"

"Overseas sales are to the company an antidote to brutal price wars at home. BYD’s avg domestic price = € 15.750, generating gross margin of 18%, compared with 27% on a € 21.790 car sold abroad.

This implies that each car sold overseas nets two to three times as much profit as in China."

this is the best page for info about our infrastructure www.rvo.nl/subsidies-fi...

yes lots of bigger parking have load balanced AC charging, anywhere between 3 and 11 kW usually!

Pretty cool to see Modo Energy data highlighting the growth of battery storage and storage’s expanding role from supporting frequency to energy balancing, reserve and future voltage support.

they will be a bigger market than Germany next year

@luisvaldes.bsky.social:

"And so, if we already knew in 2024 that road fuel consumption had peaked in China, this year's huge 32% growth in pure electric vehicles, combined with the huge number of new models and the knock-on effect, will shake the foundations of the oil companies in 2026."

"BYD's EV battery installations reached 124.8 GWh from January to August, a 50.3% increase from 83.0 GWh during the same period last year.

EV battery installations totaled 691.3 GWh from Jan to Aug, 34.9% increase from the 512.6 GWh during the same period last year"

"Generally, car plants are profitable when they’re designed to make at least 250,000 vehicles annually, according to AlixPartners.

If Chinese manufacturers were to sell around 2 million cars a year in Europe by 2030, the region would have about eight factories too many, the advisers said."
