Het is echt om gek van te worden, Europese autofabrikanten die maar blijven hangen in hybride modellen en tegelijk worden weggeconcurreerd in de EV markt door Chinese en Aziatische fabrikanten... Maar ook overheden die volledige EVs onvoldoende stimuleren/subsidiëren. Ook ons huidige kabinet doet hier vrijwel niets aan.

Fuel prices are driving more Australians to EVs - and secondhand cars are in high demand
There’s been a surge of interest in EVs as the oil crisis hits – and secondhand EVs are especially in demand

Stellantis, which is struggling to build electric cars that can compete with the competition, is clinging to the lifeline of its close partnership with China’s Leapmotor. The latest ‘German’ Opel #EV will be fitted with a Chinese powertrain and built in Spain.

Electric vehicles now account for a quarter of the new car market in Germany, France and the UK, with a further 12% for plug-in hybrids.
Other large car markets, such as Italy and Spain, are also seeing significant growth in the #EV share.

There are now 10,000 #EV charging points on the streets of Amsterdam. In addition, there are over 6,000 public charging points in locations such as car parks. How does this compare to other European cities?

It's wild how far behind North American, European, Japanese and Korean automakers are in the EV space. I submit it is *primarily* because fossil fuel interests are holding them back.
The new tech in China is stunning.
"The EVs were plugged in at 9% state of charge with 93 kilometers of range (57 miles). In 9 minutes and 51 seconds, they charged up to 97% with the range prediction in their gauge cluster displaying 1,008 kilometers (626 miles).
"The Commies” also seem to do capitalism better than "us”:
"The world’s largest EV maker saw its steepest sales plunge since the pandemic, with February sales falling 41% amid cut-throat competition in China's EV market. BYD is now hoping for a comeback by democratizing its cutting-edge new technology.”

Used EVs are on the upswing in America
While sales of new electric vehicles are stalling out, more consumers are buying used EVs than ever. Price has a lot to do with it.

Giving some more thought to replacing my 2007 Mazda 3 with a used EV. The two-door electric Minis seem like a good fit in terms of size, range, and style. I also like the Fiat 500e, but it seems a little too small. What else is good?

Doubling the voltage: What 800 V architecture really changes in EVs
Confused about electric vehicle voltages? You won't be after reading this.

I didn't fill up my car with gas yesterday because it was -18°C when I was out in the morning. Yes, I'm a wimp. Gas was 132.5 cents per litre.
Today it's -4°C and bearable for gas pumping activity. But some orange tinted moron in the U.S. decided to start WWIII so gas is 140.7 cents at the cheapest option locally.

"Electric cars can make power grids more reliable (and earn owners money)—so why aren't we doing that?"
#EV #ElectricVehicles #cars

Electric cars can make power grids more reliable (and earn owners money)—so why aren't we doing that?
Electric vehicles (EVs) can effectively serve as mobile batteries that provide energy to the power grid when not being driven, improving the reliability of the grid, serving as a source of backup power and potentially reducing energy and EV ownership costs. So why have so few places adopted the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) model? A new study details the barriers to V2G adoption and outlines possible paths forward for this technology.

One big miss on the Nissan Leaf is only the top trim has the automatic trunk opener. But the lower trims don't even have a way to open the trunk unless you have the keys while standing at the trunk. There is nothing on the key or in the driver's seat to unlock the trunk.

Great to hear Madeleine Brolly from BNEF raising attention to public charging costs. For home charging, electricity is already much cheaper than fuel, especially with a smart tariff. But for public #EV charging, users also need access to dynamic / ToU pricing to bring costs below the price of fuel

Am planning my drive to pick up The Son from #yyj on Friday and discovered that the BC Hydro charging app has a very nice and comprehensive session summary for past charges.
It's a 2.5hr drive from home or 1.5hr from work, either way Ill need to charge before heading home.
I was trying to remember how long I charged for or what my starting point was, and there it is in the summary: 40min, going from 36% to 79%.
Now I can figure out what time I need to leave home/work to get down there, charge, and grab him from the airport. ✈️
Need to be at YYJ around 11:10. The chargers are only 5min away in Sydney (literally at the end of the runway lol) so if I'm charged by 11:00 I should have lots of time. So... at the chargers by 10:15.
done.
