What is the energy transition? The definition is totally broken. This article is full of great examples of the contradictions: "The energy transition is advancing. It just is not yet advancing fast enough to stop emissions from rising." robertrapier.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

BYD is betting their external relations on a political recruit proper Elon Musk style. Straight out of Fidesz, extreme right wing racist party, that lost the latest election in Hungary. Known for close ties to the Putin regime & conflict with EU. How is this beneficial? Will Putin buy EVs? 🙈🤯

Indian government doubles the amount of ethanol blended in gasoline. It makes old engines more inefficient. So agricultural land fuels crap vechicles not food for people. Some would call it energy transition but it is really a lot more entangled. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/...

Albania the country with highest BYD share of all saled in the world around 50% of the market. A country generating over 90% renewable power. And massive enviromental protests against Trump resort.

Lots of updated small (but growing) cars from BYD coming up!

When biomass (wood) is a part of the "energy transition" it is not a new energy source nor a clean one and contributes to deforestation.

Fressoz on IPCC Group 1 models underestimating extreme weather and acceleration of warming: "The mere plausibility of these scenarios should be enough to alert us." Will he rethink the timeline in More & More & More? As even net zero by 2050 could be devestating. www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

BYD leading Tesla in installed BESS systems and of course using BYD cells. "BYD overtook Tesla in 2025 to claim the top spot globally, shipping 60 GWh of systems and holding a 13% market share. Tesla followed with 47 GWh" www.energy-storage.news/2025-bess-ce...

A so called socialist state weighed down by thousands of blooming luxury SUVs. China's battling with auto- and EVobesity the average curb weight of new passenger cars was 1,7 tons in 2024 - an increase of nearly 400 kilograms since 2012. @cnevpost.com cnevpost.com/2026/07/08/c...

The EU tariffs on BEVs is really a failing strategy as they dont apply it to ICEs and PHEVs. It is too rarely mentioned how they just tryed to close the door on BEVs. Now they will probably include PHEVs and not ICE 🙄

✨📈 The BYD BEV/PHEV chart got a refresh! Updated with the latest data across Europe, and now including 🇮🇹 Italy. It shows the ⚡ BEV share within the BYD brand in each country. H1 2026 BEV share within BYD: 🇬🇧 UK: 49.0% 🇪🇸 Spain: 39.6% 🇩🇪 Germany: 39.5% 🇮🇹 Italy: 20.2% 1/x

@akshatrathi.bsky.social interviews Fressoz asking "Don't you think the energy transition is a different conversation with a shrinking population?" @matthuber.bsky.social critiques Fressoz work writing the population will "soon peak" & decline. UN 2024: peak by 2084 at 10,3B How is that helpful?

Listen to @thierryaaron.bsky.social and @doctorvive.bsky.social do read Fressoz book More & More & More. It explains why a lot of talk about "energy transition". Technology is not a savior now as demand is growing & hard to abate sectors aren't solved - and a symbiosis of materials make this hard.

BYD's Porsche 911-rivaling Denza Z to launch globally on July 9 Denza will hold a global launch event for the Denza Z at the UK's Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 9. cnev.co/bNCkn0w 👇

I really hope more people read this book and think critically both about its content and the things they used to say!

BYD's 3rd year on Goodwood festival launching a new wave of EVs on Europe. 1. Global premiere Denza Z. Coupe and racing versions. 2. YW U9 Extreme - fastest car in the world. 3. BYD: Dolphin G and Shark. BYD "forgot" they brought Bao 5 last year then as FCB brand. media.byd.com/the-future-a...

Still US auto journalists just don't know a lot about China. Sure they don't drive big pickups. But BYD is now seeing massive demand for the new huge SUV DaTang, sells the Shark pickup internationally, it ain't all about Seagulls. Sadly autobesity is growing. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

🇬🇧 The UK could soon become BYD's strongest market in Europe. 🚗📈 Based on the last 12 months, BYD's market share in the UK is on track to overtake 🇳🇴 Norway, currently BYD's highest-share market in Europe. We'll get the official UK numbers on Monday. Stay tuned. 👀

An increasingly emerging transition still outpaced globally. A phyrric victory. "Oil, natural gas, and coal all increased in 2025. Combined fossil fuel supply rose by about 4.6 exajoules, accounting for more than half of the total increase in global energy supply." www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

BYD's BEV sales beat Tesla again in Q2 despite US EV maker's strong rebound BYD sold 557,090 BEVs in the second quarter, about 77,000 units more than Tesla's 480,126. cnev.co/XMssEvR 👇

Global BEV sales: BYD back on top of Tesla by 29k. Will it be a second year in a row for BYD?

The difference between looking at "ages of..." and the accumulated totals. I guess the market might have one concern while the planet has another... @thierryaaron.bsky.social is the glas half empty or half full?

The really crazy thing is that the EU wont put tariffs on ICE cars made in China. Maybe those are European brands exporting from China in to Europe. The tariffs should have been equally put on all cars.

This is an important comparison showing BYDs development of batteries since last year and comparing it to Tesla Model Y. Also it shows the car bloat going on in China while population numbers are diminishing. Bigger cars for less people. It is not the direction of sustainability.

BYD Datang is a great technological advancement in efficiency and a great exaple of car bloat. End Autobesity. Seagulls and buses are proper transportation.

Holding on to the "transition" narrative for all it is worth... China will surely exceed targets either by deployment or by changing the metrics. As fast as it can seem if carbon emissons dont start falling fast in China more parts of the world will be fryied. Europe is hot right now 🥵

BYD: World’s Largest Automaker In 5 Years cleantechnica.com/2026/06/10/b...

BYD is about to launch this full-size luxury electric sedan with over 1,000 km of range

It seems solid-state might not be such a gamechanger as "ultra-fast charging from 15% to 90% in just 18 minutes". That isn't ultra fast! BYD is selling cars NOW that charge 10-97% in 9 minutes.

Great that @electrek.co looks at the fast development of charging. A few corrections. The article says "over 5700" BYD flashcharging stations - by 5 June it was over 6400 stations. I wonder about the 2 stalls per BYD station. From what I see in pictures many stations have more than 2 stalls...

BYD outsold Ford, and now it thinks it can catch Toyota as the world’s No. 1 automaker

Is China an underdeveloped country in need of international support to go green? Or is it a country full of heavy luxury SUVs? Or both?

Chinese cars growing heavy. Batteries part of the reason why. When will batteries start to shrink? @carnewschina.bsky.social carnewschina.com/2026/06/05/c...

BYD lost lots of sales in China last quarter. Now Q1 results coming in Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng, Xiaomi all sell cars by losing money, so they compete and gain sales by burning capital. BYD still making big net profit even if lower than last year. With the new BYD made chip costs will go down further.

This are the big news of the day! BYD having its own ADAS/L3/L4 chip. A new in car ai agent. What makes it bigger: Taking responsibility for any accident in autonomous city driving first 12 months. Last year BYD took responsibility for parking now driving!
