Global EV sales are up 23% YTD, with 1.9M sold in October — and historically, the record month every year is December as quotas, fleets, and subsidies all pile in (especially in China). 2025 is the first time September’s 2.1M might actually beat December… but history says December loves to surprise.

We’re about to hit the phase of the S-curve where the world goes from “fast” to “holy shit.” Solar’s doubling on a 24-month cycle — but the real elephant in the room is #BESS. As storage scales, the grid stops being a bottleneck and starts becoming a battery-backed solar engine. #EnergyTransition

This chart is making the rounds again — and it might be the defining story of the Disruption Decade. One line goes vertical, one goes flat. China scaling energy like a civilisation in ascent. America stuck on maintenance mode. The future follows the energy curve. ⚡📈 #Renewables #BESS #EV #Disruption

China just passed a historic milestone — over half of all new cars sold in Oct were NEVs. BEVs soared +31.7% YoY to 1.1 M units, while PHEVs rose just 3%. The shift is unmistakable: the world’s biggest car market is now majority electric, powered by lithium. #EV #EnergyTransition #Lithium #RIPOIL

China’s CO₂ emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months — a stunning milestone as solar & wind power surge. With 240 GW of new solar added this year alone, the world’s largest emitter may have already peaked — years ahead of 2030. #EnergyTransition #BESS #Solar #Lithium #LFP #EV #Disruption

For the first time ever, renewables outpowered fossil fuels in October — supplying nearly 50% of Australia’s grid. When the sun’s up, energy is abundant & cheap. The smart move now? Incentivise demand — like 3 hrs of free electricity during high-renewable periods. #EnergyTransition #Renewables #BESS

EIA’s see “forecasts,” U.S. coal magically find a “stable base” from 2032 onward. I call bullshit on that. Nothing about economics, grid evolution, or policy supports it. Coal isn’t stabilizing — it’s terminal. What you’re seeing there is just the long tail of a dying industry on life support. ⚰️

I wrote “Electrons on the Highway” after my post about the Chinese Windrose EV truck stirred up a storm — 70% cheaper to run, 12% faster, & somehow offensive to diesel pride. 😅 Some cheered, some fumed. But that’s disruption — it doesn’t wait for permission. The quiet revolution’s already rolling.

“‘E-Trucking is the future’? Nah mate — it’s already here. A 36-tonne Windrose just smashed a 480 km delivery on one charge, ~70 % cheaper than diesel and ~12 % quicker, shaving about 40 minutes off the trip. This is why E-Trucking is NOT the future — it’s TODAY. #EV #LFP #EnergyTransition #Lithium

The CEO of the world’s most valuable company just said: “China is going to win the AI race.” Hard truth: AI runs on electricity. China can now generate power for roughly 1/8 the US cost thanks to solar, wind & hydro. You can’t win the AI race burning fossils. ⚡🇨🇳 #AI #EnergyTransition #Geopolitics

Europe’s EV surge rolls on — Sept 2025 was the 2nd-best month ever with ~399k plug-ins sold, +11% YoY (21% BEV + 11% PHEV), only behind Dec 2022’s record. Fossil fuels keep fading fast — petrol -8% YoY & diesel -16% YoY, now under a third of new cars sold. #EV #Europe #EnergyTransition #Lithium #LFP

While the US whimpers, others roar. China’s on track for 2 M NEV wholesales in Dec 2025, pushing full-year output past 15.5 M — another record for the global EV powerhouse. ROW rising fast with the EU solid at #2. My 21 M global sales prediction for this year holds strong. ⚡🚗 #EV #NEV #BEV #Lithium

Love seeing global initiatives like this — South Korea’s turning all large parking lots into solar farms ☀️ Brilliant use of idle space, shade for cars, and clean power for the grid. Would love to see it extended to anything bigger than a single carport, worldwide. #Solar #EnergyTransition #BESS

The end of the Oil Age won’t come from scarcity — it’ll come from irrelevance. Solar, wind, and batteries aren’t waiting for permission; they’re simply better. When the new paradigm outperforms the old on cost, speed, and resilience, history doesn’t argue — it moves on. #EnergyTransition #BESS #EV

The fact we’re now offering free electricity for 3 hours a day in Australia, shows just how far renewables have come. We’ve gone from managing scarcity to managing abundance. ☀️⚡Energy isn’t the problem anymore — storage & timing are. The future grid is solar-soaked. #Renewables #EV #BESS #Solar

China’s EV export engine is in overdrive — nearly 1M NEVs shipped Jan–Sep 2025. Europe leads, Latin America explodes (+148%), & Asia-Pac surges. China isn’t merely exporting electric cars — it’s exporting the future of mobility. One shipload at a time, scaling up fast.. 🌏 #ChinaEV #NEV #Lithium #LFP

Batteries aren’t the sideshow — they’re the backbone of the 21st century. ⚡Powering EVs, grids, defence, AI, robots, satellites & data centres — the infrastructure of everything. Down 90% in cost since 2010, booming in deployment, 75% made in China. The new oil is energy storage.🔋 #Lithium #BESS #EV

The chart says it all — China’s EV juggernaut is in full swing. 🚀 BYD leads, Geely surging, and Leapmotor, XPeng, Xiaomi climbing fast. 5 of the top 10 BEV groups are now Chinese — the race isn’t Tesla vs legacy anymore, it’s China vs everyone else. ⚡🇨🇳 #EV #Disruption #BYD #Tesla #Geely #LFP

Despite Washington’s reluctance, I can’t see the US resisting free markets forever. 🇺🇸⚡Texas, California, and half the states are already riding the solar + storage boom. The energy transition isn’t waiting for permission — it’s happening from the grid up. ☀️🔋 #Solar #BESS #EnergyTransition #Lithium

China loves to underpromise & overdeliver.😂 Their “2030 target” for 1.2 TW of renewables was smashed by mid-2024 — six years early! Now they’re saying 80 % NEV share by 2040… so yeah, expect that by 2027 tops. While others talk transition, China just builds it. #EV #Solar #LFP #Lithium #BESS #AI

The SMR hype isn’t about clean energy — it’s about keeping the nuclear-military machine alive. Civil reactors are the cover story, defence funding the true goal. Billions in “energy” subsidies quietly sustain sub fleets, skills, & nukes. It’s not transition — it’s camouflage. ⚛️💰 #EnergyTransition

Don’t be a mug — read the trend. 📈 Renewables are set to overtake coal as the world’s top power source by 2026. Solar, wind & batteries aren’t the future — they’re the system now. Fossil fuels are flatlining while clean power goes exponential. #SolarDominion #DisruptionDecade #BESS #EnergyTransition

Solar isn’t coming — it’s here, scaling faster than anyone modelled. ☀️ The serial underestimators, the IEA, now say solar beats nuclear ’26, hydro ’29, gas ’31, coal ’32 — and could power everything by ’35. The fossil era is running out of daylight. ⚡🌍 #SolarDominion #Lithium #BESS #DisruptionDecade

ICE is finished in China. Sales of petrol & diesel cars peaked in 2017 — the same year EVs started their takeoff. In 2020, only 1 in 18 new cars was electric. By 2024, it’s 1 in 2. This year it’s tracking for 60%. This isn’t a fad — it’s the world’s biggest industrial shift in motion. #EV #Lithium

Just dropped my Bull Run — anthem for the energy flip. Lithium bulls charging hard while the old fossil mob falls to bits. Grids juiced, renewables roaring, shorts closing up shop. The legacy guard’s cooked — the electrons are taking over. Enjoy.🔋 #Lithium #BullRun #LFP #EnergyTransition #Disruption

China launched world’s largest all-electric inland cargo ship. At 129.9 m long & 13,700 t displacement. 24 MWh of battery power across 12 modular packs = same energy as around 400 Tesla Model Y RWDs combined. Using rapid swap tech, it can replace its batteries in just 30 minutes & sail up to 500km.

Gasoline cars are basically 50-liter rolling bombs we’ve all agreed to sit on. 🔥 Meanwhile, EVs are out here catching fewer fires than politicians telling the truth. 1,530 fires per 100k gas cars vs just 25 for EVs, almost zero for #LFP. The only thing burning are the myths. ⚡🚗 #EV #Safety #Firesafe

Outside China, massive funding pours > #EnergyStorage & #EVs — not by chance, but market forces riding the waves of multiple disruptions. #BESS = the backbone of the transition, stabilizing grids & unlocking renewables. The megatrend Goliath is here. #Lithium #Disruption @iolahughes.bsky.social

Chery’s 600 Wh/kg solid-state battery enters pilot production in 2026, full scale in 2027 — promising up to 1,300 km range. A 360 kg LFP pack (60 kWh) would hold 216 kWh with this chemistry — 3.6× the energy, same weight. Range anxiety? Extinct. Pace of evolution is why PHEVs & ICEs have no future.

Denmark’s EV revolution is almost complete. In Sept 2025, 90.4 % of new private cars were BEVs, just 1.4 % PHEVs, 8.2 % ICE. Trailing 12 months: 81.4 % BEV. The S-curve shows Denmark will hit ~99 % BEV by 2028 — a Norway-level transition in under a decade. #BEV #EV #Disruption @leraffl.bsky.social

Two years after being scrapped, Germany’s EV incentives are back — smarter & sharper. From Jan 2026, buyers get up to €4k for EVs < €45k. PHEVs out, used EVs in, with €3 billion through 2029. Pragmatic and timely — a lifeline for an auto industry fighting to stay competitive. #EV #Lithium #BESS #LFP

Spain has been coal-free since mid-July 2025. After brief, low-level output early that month, generation dropped to zero and has stayed there. REE & ENTSO-E data confirm 0 MW from coal in Aug–Oct 2025 — a historic clean-energy milestone driven by record renewable output ahead of the 2025 phase-out.

What a difference 2 years make! Compare 2023 vs 2025 — California’s solar output (yellow) has exploded & that purple layer? 🔋 That’s battery storage — charging during the solar peak and discharging after sunset. The classic “duck curve” is flattening fast. CAISO shows the future of energy in motion.

Nepal quietly leapfrogged the West — 76% of new cars sold in 2025 were electric, second only to Norway. No mega-subsidies or Silicon Valley hype — just hydropower, smart taxes & resolve to cut oil imports. Proof that small nations move fastest once the economics flip. #Disruption #EnergyTransition

🚗⚡ 25 data-backed reasons why EVs beat ICE cars — cheaper to run, safer, cleaner, smarter & future-proof. The fossil era is fading faster than a Luddite’s gas-soaked dream. V8s are racing toward extinction. The road ahead is electric — embrace it or become a museum relic. 🌍🔋 #BEV #EV #RIPICE

China’s 40% idle battery capacity is the fuse on the coming lithium demand shock. Record solar → BESS 🚀 Once it reignites, hundreds of GWh can ramp within months — pulling 400–500k t LCE almost overnight. Supply can’t keep up as the lithium era ignites. ⚡🔋 #Lithium #EV #BESS #LFP #Sodium-Ion #DLE

Australians have added >90,000 home batteries since July — ~1.7 GWh of new local storage, already eclipsing the Waratah Super Battery (1.6 GWh). At this pace, behind-the-meter batteries will soon outpower grid-scale ones. That’s 90 000 homes off peak demand. The disruption is real! ⚡🔋🇦🇺 #Lithium #LFP

The total amount of H₂O on Earth hasn’t changed in 4 billion years. Calling it a “scarce resource” is absurd. About 70 % of our planet is covered by it — the issue isn’t scarcity but access & economics. With cheap renewables and large-scale desalination, water abundance is a matter of energy. 💧⚡

Spain’s blackout wasn’t caused by renewables but by a voltage surge that cascaded through an underprepared grid. The solution isn’t less solar or wind — it’s smarter grids with battery energy storage (BESS) providing reactive power, fast-frequency response & synthetic inertia to keep systems stable.

The UK govt told to prepare for a 2 °C rise — adapting to a hotter, world. Yet three disruptions powered by just eight exponential technologies could erase over 90 % of global emissions within 15 years. The S-curve of change is already rising. Whether we ride it or resist it will define our century.

After years of equating noise with power, silence redefines what driving feels like. Once you go electric, peace of mind becomes performance. No petrol stench, no exhaust fumes — just clean motion and calm. Cost savings aside.⚡🚘 #EV #FutureReady #QuietRevolution #RIPICE #EnergyTransition #Disruption

It took just 15 years to completely transform transportation in China: 🚗 E-cars: 60% (v 1% in 2010) 🚌 E-buses: 95% (1%) 🛵 E-scooters: 99% (30%) 🛺 E-three-wheelers: 99% (40%) 🚄 High-speed rail: 45,000 km (v 6,000 km in 2010) Unprecedented speed & scale — a transport revolution in real time. ⚡ #EVs

Global EV sales hit a record 2.1 M in Sept 2025 — first time ever crossing 2 M in a single month! YTD: China 9.0 M (+24%), Europe 3.0 M (+32%), N. America 1.5 M (+11%), RoW 1.2 M (+48%) = 14.7 M (+26%). The electric transition keeps surging despite anti-clean-tech rhetoric from the White House. #EVs

🇳🇴 Norway declares “mission accomplished” on going 100% electric — marking the maturity of the EV revolution. Incentives now shift from fueling growth to refining balance. The market no longer needs a push — it’s driving itself and future is electric and powered by renewables.⚡ #EV #EnergyTransition

People think we’d need to cover half of Australia in solar panels — the truth is much different. Replacing all coal power with solar would use less than 0.016% of our land, smaller than Kangaroo Island. The challenge isn’t space, it’s political will, grid upgrades & storage. ☀️⚡ #Solar #Lithium #LFP

This is why I wrote Can’t Stop the Sun — the old fossil world’s fading, a new clean one’s rising. From Nepal’s rooftops to global grids, people are taking back power. You can fight progress, deny it, fear it — but you can’t stop the sun. ☀️⚡ #EnergyTransition #EV #Solar #Lithium #BESS #Disruption

Tariffs are like pissing into the wind — the harder you push them as a retaliation weapon, the harder they blow back in your face. That’s exactly what Trump’s doing. He doesn’t care though — every gust of chaos fattens his wallet. Corruption isn’t collateral for him; it’s the business model.
