Many French people do not believe in EVs or that they are cleaner than combustion cars (in reality: 1/3 of CO2 over their lifetime). 11% are even 'électro-allergiques', 62% of 'électrosceptiques et électroprudents' could still be open to facts. A lot of work […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Italy's recovery fund provided (over several rounds) 640 million euros to roll out some 18,000 fast #ev charging points in the country. The glass seems half empty (only 96 million euros allocated, for 3800 charging points) - yet the battery may soon be more than half full […]

Why EVs are such a great opportunity for a renewables-based power system (or any power system, for that matter), and why we need universal charging while parked: cars, and even heavy-duty vehicles, are parked most of the time: demand flexibility! (This NREL […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

"Goedemorgen, ik ben wat later op kantoor" - "Geen probleem. Ook vast in de file na het ongeval op de A12?" "Nee, ik sta stil op de afrit. Moest eerst onder een rood kruis door, toen een pijlwagen ontwijken en nu staat er iemand met z'n auto dwars over de weg." - "#nietvoornix"

Based on current plans, this will be possible with the use of e-fuels. These statements have little to do with 2035. They are designed to give new car buyers in 2025 the impression that plug-in hybrids have a future, rather than being stuck with one and a half feet in the fossil age. From […]

This German entrepreneur sells 100-150 stickers a day, depending on how many noise Musk makes. He won't be buying or leasing a new Tesla, but the stickers will help with Tesla shame for those who already have one (or can now get a used one on the cheap...) […]

Nee, regulier de grote platforms waar geen alternatief voor is. Er is geen breed maatschappelijk alternatief voor veel van de meta-producten (facebook, instagram, whatsapp), ze vormen de laag voor menselijke - sociale - netwerken. En wordt als overheid op alle mogelijke manieren actief op de […]

I still see a glimmer of hope for Europe in the regulation of platforms, especially the meta-products (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp) on which many social networks (people, not technology) operate. We cannot do without this layer, which is why public utility treatment is needed.
