Wild to see Farley grinning like an idiot with Trump when he lowered fuel economy standards with Ford providing *nothing* in this space and Kia and Hyundai nailing it with these ~35 MPG options.

They're heeeeerrrreeeee. The U.S. made, Telluride Hybrids have landed.

For those who still need some prodding on the BEV, and 3-Rows for whatever reason, this joins the massively successful Hyundai Palisade Hybrid at the top of the class when it comes to best all around 3-Row hybrids.

Tesla’s Sales Crash For The 13th Straight Month As Its Scariest Rival Cleaned Up | Carscoops BYD’s European sales jumped 165 percent in January while Tesla’s slid 17 percent

Most definitely not. Car buyers have given up Tesla, why can't the thedriven?

Tesla -17%
BYD +165%

Oh, totally, I can't pay cash for this but I can lease this, oh and I can lease this two trims higher!

Because of all the FUD and nonsense I don't think reasonable fiscal types fully compute they can CapEx their car and fueling essentially.

Basically for those fiscally responsible, CapEx your vehicle and the fuel that motivates it.

Average new car is $50k, why not reasonably size expectations and get new/used EV and Solar and be fine for *decades*

EV upgrade focus for the rest of the year is going to be easy stuff.

- Most new car buyers own homes
- Most Americans drive less than they can charge overnight on a household outlet.

New tactics:
- Most solar will vastly outlive your mortgage
- Most EVs will last into the last decade of mortgage

Definitely something other than utility prices at work here. North eastern part of the U.S. is the more climate resilient part for those west of the Mississippi.

Lovely summer night (93 today 🫣)

All this energy. It’s always funny when folks FUD EV as bad because transit and cycling and I ask why the countries that lead on transit and cycling lead on EVs.

Fossil fuel industry friction misinformation working overtime on here some times. Thanks for including all the great options!!

Yup, just wake up tomorrow with a full charge regardless of what’s going on, blissful!

Xiaomi, who haven't been selling cars for even 2 years now and are already comfortably outselling Tesla.

Yup, that Xiaomi. This is the speed of competition globally in the car industry. This is one reason GM/Ford have been working so hard with Trump to sabotage EV regs/subsidies.

Is their stuff AI generated? The EV4 is on sale globally and even Canada, that article's riddled with inaccuracies - feels like AI screed.

Thanks for having that EV, emitting 80% fewer particulate emissions when you drive it over the ICE vehicles is crucial for the health of your fellow e-biker! 🤙🏽

If you'd rather not need to time your gas station visits carefully with global insecurity, I highly recommend EV! Yes, EV, they're adorable, drive longer than your bladder, charge in ~20 minutes on road trip and allow you to totally ignore megalomaniac impacts on fueling costs. Just waked up full.

"But her emails"
"But she's a black woman"

Whelp, enjoy f*cking the world over.

Anyone else have the chance to use the EV Smart Car2Go's? Loved those things, positioned around transit for last mile stuff.

So many great studies now, the more EVs replace ICE, the more PM2.5 drops! Glorious.

BYD spotted testing 1500 kW Flash Charge in China, nearly triple Tesla V4 power Single-gun peak rating of 1500 kW reported at demonstration flash charging station.

U.S Automotive 'journalists': "Mach-E/Equinox EV/Blazer EV charging at 1/10th this speed is fine".

- insert this is fine meme.

Explains the EV retreat and massive lobbying against great affordable Chinese options.

How refreshing is this today?!

🤮

🤢🤮

VW and Toyota really suck at interiors.

How focused is Australia on heavy vehicles? I see lots on consumer EV adoption and renewable deployment but not much on trucks.

CA's -4.6% cut in transport emissions from '22-'23 were mostly a result of their -17.2% drop in heavy emissions - smaller pop with way bigger total impact.

It's fine, and a great perspective to have, both in terms of how hard they work to keep us indebted to them (especially NA), and their impact on our lives.

I just thought all the Chinese affordable stuff was moving needle, that study is awesome!

I'm a massive fan of, and share whenever I can, examples of U.S. cities building dense 100% affordable, or massive amounts in general, housing on or adjacent to transit, especially light rail.

In a country stuck in deep paralysis just bringing dense affordable housing to transit is great tool!

Still see them soldering on!

I didn't get the thrust of Ketan's post at first, thinking there was an implied bigger EVs just bad regardless (including ICE/HEV etc), but clarification ensued and this fantastic study was shared.

Thanks @ketanjoshi.co - didn't realize the en-biggening trend was even occurring in China.

Derp, I stand corrected, thank you for taking the time to reply and share the study!

Totally, I'm a progress not being an enemy of protection practitioner. Very happy to see any shift towards renewably powered BEVs, Busses, Rail, etc, regardless of size. Gotta shift those transit emissions as rapidly as possible so we have the decades needed to reimagine lagging cities.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for, appreciate it!

The detail about the market trend being towards smaller more affordable EVs due to Chinese marketshare is more in-line with what I've been reading, vs the post I quoted which generalized they were getting bigger.
