Oops! The Times has had to issue an embarrassing correction over supposedly "sluggish" EV sales 😳

❌ It said EV sales to private buyers fell 10.8% this yr
✅They actually GREW…by 62%

Yet Times articles still claim a "big fall", "collapse" & "slide" in private EV sales 🤔

The Zeekr 7X rapid charges in 13 minutes, costs less than a Tesla Model Y and is coming to New Zealand in just a few weeks. I was at the launch in Australia yesterday and had a bit of fun in one. 😁

We have electric under floor heating (which is thirsty so don’t use it much) and also gas CH. no HPump yet.
Winter I’ll charge the batteries up overnight and it just about gets us through to the following off peak times.

Let this sink in. It isn't just that adding PV panels to these French vineyards didn't harm grape production, it's the fact that it _increased_ the yield dramatically.

I have 18kWh. It’s only just enough in the winter. I’d like another 6.

Built on Coal, Powered by Sun: China’s New Future - EV Curve Futurist China’s coal buildout is a short-term buffer—not a long-term plan. This blog unpacks why renewables will soon render new coal plants obsolete.

Ever mention China’s insane solar, EV & battery growth—only to hear: “But they’re building coal plants faster than anyone!” 😑 Same. So I wrote this:
📉 85% of new coal projects = rejected in 2024
🔥 Most new ones = peakers, not lifelines
⚡ Storage is exploding
It’s not a buildout—it’s a coal phaseout.

Analysis: China’s clean-energy exports in 2024 alone will cut overseas CO2 by 1% - Carbon Brief China’s clean-energy technologies such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles are helping to cut emissions in other countries.

”The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2).”

Etrucks NZ has another Windrose in the country. These things have a 729kWh battery and can haul 49 tonnes up to 670 km on each rapid charge, using cheap, renewable, locally-made electricity.
No surprise kiwi trucking firms are getting interested in these 1400 hp trucks for the savings alone.

Alright, let's see if I can get this big Chinese beast from Te Kuiti to New Plymouth and back (326 km) for less than $50 in petrol. I'm sure I'm going to be able to do this so place your bets!

June solar export report:

Not as good as the over 1MWh for May, but I’ll take it.

How’s everyone else done?

Denmark extends life of two of its oldest offshore wind farms – one by another 25 years Two of Denmark’s oldest offshore wind farms get life extensions – one for another 25 years, taking its total operating life to half a century.

Wind turbines only last 10–15 years” is pure FUD propaganda. That’s a design life, not a death sentence. Denmark just extended its 2000-built Middelgrunden offshore wind farm to 2050—50 years! Like bridges, turbines last decades with proper care. The myth is dead. Wind lives on. 🌬️⚡ #EnergyTransition
