Thank you appreciate that

So #energysky folks - general question for you: what do you find makes a good webinar or online conversation in terms of format and style?

Thinking a bit about this and wanted to see if anyone here had thoughts? (Can also shoot me DMs too if that's easier).

FWIW I just saw 2 Jeep plug-in hybrids charging at the Flo EV chargers near my apartment — good on PHEV owners plugging in!

Switch 2 Sells More Than 6 Million in the 7 Weeks Since Launch, Nintendo Says Demand 'Has Surpassed Our Expectations' - IGN Nintendo’s first financial report since the launch of Switch 2 is in, and it’s smiles all round for the company after record-breaking sales.

Fortunately, more and more consumers are flocking to these alternative drivetrains (including battery-electric, plug-in hybrids and hybrids). But that doesn’t mean we shouldn't recognize how this could affect affordability.

It could also lead to less innovations in new hybrid technologies and could cede further ground in battery technologies as automakers will have less incentive to utilize them.

With this change by Congress, there will be less pressure to continue improving vehicle efficiency. This will probably hurt consumers who purchase gas or hybrid vehicles the most, given that electric vehicles are already far more efficient in their energy usage.

Furthermore, 66% of Americans surveyed by the group say that fuel economy is very important or extremely important to their considerations of a new vehicle purchase.

According to @consumerreports.org, improvements in fuel efficiency have delivered consumers over $9,000 in savings over the lifetime of a new vehicle in 2024, compared to a vehicle from twenty years ago.

As a part of the law, Congress zeroed out civil penalties for violating the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard or CAFE. This change was covered by a few outlets in the press, but the potential impact could be damaging for consumers in the long-term.

One of the less covered elements of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was the inclusion of changes to our national fuel economy standards.

Thanks Ben! Hope you enjoy it :)

The Best Time to Buy an EV Is Probably Right Now If the Senate reconciliation bill gets enacted as written, you’ve got about 92 days left to seal the deal.

Check with your dealer or seller about availability and gaining access to the credit at the point of sale.

Be sure to check out your options and happy shopping! There may be no better time to buy an EV this year than right now.

It is important to note that only certain models qualify for these credits. There are also limitations based on the purchaser's income and other factors.

How to use tax credits for EVs and home projects before they expire Everything you need to know about which tax credits Congress just voted to eliminate, when they expire and who qualifies.

I sat down with both @heatmap_news News and the @washingtonpost to discuss this topic.

Essentially, consumers have until September 30th, 2025 to receive the $7,500 tax credit on a new or leased EV. Similarly, consumers will have only until that same date to access the used EV credit of $4,000.

After the signing of last week’s reconciliation package, there will be a lot of debate on where federal EV policy should go next. But for now, there are important logistical implications for EV buyers.

With many mass market EVs now in the market, vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) native, and increased public charging, there may be no better time to search for that new EV than now.

It will also mean that consumers will lose a chance to make their EV purchase more affordable.

If the bill is signed into law, the tax credit that has encouraged the domestic production of U.S. EVs (and encouraged the on-shoring and friend-shoring of critical minerals and battery components) will expire on September 30th.

Spoke with Matt Zeitlin @heatmap.news about the practical implications of the Senate reconciliation bill on consumer costs for electric vehicles.

Run, don't walk, to buy an EV.

“Long story short, the credits under the current legislation are only going to be on the books through the end of September,” @coreybcantor.bsky.social warns.

Unlike the NBA Draft, there won’t necessarily be the promise of a future prospect to help turn things around. If the U.S. throws away its game plan now, the auto industry may stagnate for years to come.
