Used EVs are now about the same price as used gas cars. Here’s what to know before you buy one.

Most people assume "battery recycling" means the whole battery gets broken down and rebuilt from scratch—like sending an aluminum can back to become a new one. Rivian and Redwood Materials announced a new project in April that's much simpler.

Gas prices are at an all time high and Congress is proposing a new tax on people driving electric vehicles 🥲 www.cascadiadaily.com/2026/may/20/...

Congress' proposed federal tax on EV and plug-in hybrid drivers is irresponsible and will fail at meaningfully closing the Highway Trust Fund shortfall. Now is the time to incentivize, not penalize, clean transportation options.

States have access to funding for EV chargers that can free drivers from the gas price rollercoaster. See where your state stands in building out a network that delivers: 🚗 Reliable charging on every highway 👷 Good jobs in every state 💰 Cost savings every week www.sierraclub.org/articles/202...

“When you’re unable to drive, the flaws in our public transit system become obvious. Sidewalks that end suddenly, street crossings that feel like a sprint for your life, and bus routes perfectly timed to miss the train. When transit is your only option, these things aren’t minor inconveniences.”

NEVI EV charger rollout sped up in 2025, still not fast enough due to roadblocks

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Michigan just unlocked $51M to fix EV charging gaps

About Jim Clyburn deciding to run again…

The @nytimes.com's "War in Iran Triggers Chaos in Global Oil Market" explored how the world has changed since the 70s but failed to mention electric cars. EVs now make up over a quarter of car sales worldwide and is a key technology reducing global dependency on oil. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/p...

What if I told you that Transportation is the highest-polluting sector of the American economy? Now what if I told you that ~100% of that is from oil? Now what if I further told you that we can do something about it but mostly aren't even trying?

Despite overwhelming public opposition, the Trump administration is bulldozing forward with their proposal to repeal the #EndangermentFinding and roll back the clean vehicle standards. This will allow cars & trucks to spew destructive pollution for decades to come. www.sierraclub.org/press-releas...

Trump just canceled $1.5 billion in funding in states that didn't vote for him for projects like electric vehicles and buses that would save lives and reduce costs. This is just the latest reckless move by a vindictive administration that does not even pretend to serve the American people.

Among the other outrages in today's news from the @washingtonpost.com, management has gutted the Pulitzer-winning climate team, according to @sammyroth.bsky.social. Their work has been so important — one more reason to be heartbroken today. And pissed. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

Thank you @markey.senate.gov, @dorismatsui.bsky.social, @davids.house.gov for leading this Congressional letter with 80 signers opposing Trump's attack on common-sense fuel economy standards. These standards save families money at the pump & reduce toxic air pollution. www.usnews.com/news/us/arti...

For those of you who: * Feel enraged to watch billionaires destroy important newsrooms and * Recall vaguely that Jeff Bezos was once considered a courageous owner who fortified the Washington Post I recommend this piece by the Post's former fact-checker glennkessler.substack.com/p/a-billiona...

Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat (& @runforsomething.net candidate!) flipped a state senate district in Texas that Trump had won by 17 points. Expand your imagination. When great candidates rooted in community step up to lead, anything is possible.

Extreme cold tonight and tomorrow. Be safe out there.

The Trump admin has proposed rolling back the fuel economy standards that regulate how far cars travel on a gallon of fuel. This will cost drivers thousands of dollars more each year in gas and make cars more polluting. Demand that the current standards stay in place. sc.org/CleanCarStan...
