In effect, the US will be helping to subsidize the EV transition of other countries by continuing to purchase more profitable gas vehicles

It's the beginning of the month -- and the year! Which means it's time to see how EV sales in the US held up for 2024. I'd expect to see them rolling in today, starting with Tesla. I'm particularly curious about GM, Honda and Hyundai. Stay tuned. I'll add them to this thread. 🔌⚡️🚗 #EnergySky

For all the hand wringing about EVs in 2024, Hyundai Canada is doing just fine. More than fine actually. Early estimates from the company put ZEVs at 33% of national sales; EVs at around 18%, a 40% YoY increase. @theglobeandmail.com #EVs

"Achieving Canada’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) targets—20 per cent of new vehicle sales by 2026 and 100 per cent by 2035—could reduce emissions by an estimated 30 Mt relative to 2005 levels by 2035"

Interdiction de vendre des véhicules thermiques neufs en 2035 au Québec: «Ça va être difficile de se trouver de l’essence», soutient le ministre Benoît Charette (@nicolaslachance.bsky.social)

Apparently incentives work to spread EV technologies and reduce emissions (just as intended). It’s not enough, but it’s certainly progress. insideevs.com/news/742785/...

In Q3, about 1 in 6 new vehicles registered in Canada was an #EV of some kind (BEV or PHEV). Canada's 15.2% is close to the global average of 16.5%. The U.S. *may* hit 10 percent this year, which many would see as a positive sign. Once more, the U.S. lags, a lot. From @electricautonomy.bsky.social.

Two encouraging takeaways: 1. This continued rapid growth defies talk of a ZEV market slowdown. 2. Battery electrics continue to dominate over plug-in hybrids, putting the boots to another bit of conventional EV naysayer wisdom.

Quebec is moving fast along the S-curve. Moving from a 22.8% to 34.6% market share for BEV/PHEV in a year is quite an upswing. The mix of BEV/PHEV is 3:1 . #EV

Clearly, Chevrolet has some Canadians involved in interior design and packaging. How else can you explain the Timbits cubby aft of the cupholder in the Silverado EV?

Many signs of hope that Trump may not be able to derail the EV transition entirely and 🇺🇸 (& 🇨🇦) can stay on a steady course towards a clean car future. Here’s what I’m watching. 🧵

You can't put the genie back in the bottle. Kept hearing that at COP29. There's too much momentum, too much upfront investment already, in the low carbon technology for it to be completely undone by a political change in the US. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/c...

Posted a thread on Twitter yesterday ahead of the meeting the car industry was having with Government to push for changes to the ZEV Mandate Didn't get a chance to post on here (sorry) but posting now if still of interest to people

Coverage of our analysis that 2nd hand EVs can deliver annual savings of £1,600 to their owners ZEV mandate is critical in driving growth of the 2nd hand EV market Something Government should keep in mind when it meets industry to discuss it this pm www.independent.co.uk/business/use...

"California and other clean car states will need to use all channels available to protect their ability to require clean cars, including getting the EPA to grant a waiver allowing for the implementation of ACCII prior to the inauguration next January."

My take on the next administration and EVs: No, Trump can’t kill EVs, but he might cause a lot of problems for the domestic auto industry (and/or encourage them to make bad choices). blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmu...

Have thoughts about what info should be on the window sticker on new EVs in California? Take a survey from CARB here: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CAR...

Me in today's @thetimes.com on the noise we're hearing about industry calling on Gov to weaken the ZEV mandate In a nutshell: don't, it's working Plenty of manufacturers are meeting, even exceeding, the targets - so there's no case, or need, for any tinkering www.thetimes.com/uk/transport...

Less powerful chargers could be enough for many EV drivers, U of C study says www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Reminder: a version of the EV tax credit lasted during the entire last Trump administration. And that one did not have strong ties to domestic manufacturing. Going to certainly be a battle in Congress (and the executive branch), though — but one that will play out over time. t.co/lm0MkRxcq4
