Soon I will go to Deutschland for the weekend? Why? to #hunt the #Autobahn for fossil gangsters 💨💨 under € 99/weekend! UNLIMITED SPEED UNLIMITED MILES #rentelectric ⚡️⚡️⚡️ what a dream! #alwaysbecharging

literally my only gripe with the Twingo, you HAVE TO LEARN from past mistakes otherwise, what's the point?! #alwaysbecharging

Who would have thought that the announcement of the BYD Atto 1 selling for under $30k NZD would anger so many people on Facebook? It's crazy. Me and the other moderator have removed so many seething comments from people who feel threatened by this smöl car. 🤷

Huge Nexperia news The Netherlands is prepared to suspend a ministerial order that gave it control over Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia if chip shipments resume in the coming days

You guessed it, in France (I think 🇫🇷 exclusive) Renault does it AGAIN the 20K Twingo will not feature CCS I cannot believe it especially w/ marketing like this it's simply not okay to launch vehicles that cannot use a 25kW DC #alpitronic charger (not the photo) ⚡️ #nowords

The central global political divide is not ideological; it is about fossil fuels vs renewable, and ultimately post-scarcity, energy supply. Fossil fuels and petrostates are not going to go quietly, but China is rendering them obsolete with a speed and decisiveness that have few historical parallels.

Tiny nanometer-scale computer chips are now being manufactured much more cheaply, thanks to an academic at University of Twente, Netherlands.

@kyleichan.bsky.social: "I love how a researcher from a Dutch uni you’ve probably never heard of helped save Moore’s Law by finding a way to control puddles of water, resulting in the modern immersion lithography scanner. Technical diagram illustrates the immersion hood mechanism in a lithography.."

Andrew Batson: "For instance, Tesla's Shanghai factory produces 47 cars per worker while its California factory makes 20 per worker -- a good comparison as the models are identical. But Tesla has to sell the same models for lower prices in China because it faces more competition there."

Yes friends: that totem shows a Norwegian fast charger which a local resident calls "expensive" :D Preis: € 0,45/kWh #adhoc ⚡️⚡️⚡️ :D :D :D #alwaysbecharging #MakeAdhocChargingGreatAgain source; tweet by @roamingnorway.com: "Expensive" with this photo: nitter.net/RoamingNorwa...

🗣️ "Soy muy optimista. Yo creo en el progreso."

Some people practise foreign languages on Duolingo 🦜 . I do it with French headlines like this one.

2/▶️ In other words, still not even every third new car registered in 🇩🇪 this year had a🔌. ▶️ The overall fleet of fully electric cars is now just below 2 million. ▶️ The wedge between the actual fleet and the target path envisaged by the previous government (15 mio BEV by 2030) still increases.

1/ 🔌🚗 Quick update on electric cars in 🇩🇪 , using brand new data: ▶️ In October, the share of fully electric cars in all newly registered cars has slightly increased again to 21.0%. ▶️ From Jan-Oct 25, the average share of BEV was 18.4%. ▶️ On top, there were 12.4% plug-in hybrids in October.

Deutschland what now? One of the biggest roaming gigs in the business called #DCS has this offer "live" for German EV drivers yet they fail to mention the pretty good lookin' 39 cents per kWh at players like ARAL Pulse and Shell Recharge, actually apply to AC charging only?! DECEIT! bizarre?!

They could tax billionaires or multinational corporations but instead tax the EV owner who is trying to make a little difference

Not in North America, where virtually every politician is a sellout to the criminally corrupt oil and gas cartels. Apparently not even @mark-carney.bsky.social can stand up to them.

The US can try and stop EVs in America, but it can't force the rest of the world to stick with outdated technology. Whatever next? Will the Republicans force Americans back into Lockheed Constellations?

I think he specifies it was all the *car* billboards but still very notable! Here in Sydney I reckon we’d have 50% non-EV billboards, and there are plenty of EVs around including Chinese ones

@nathanielbullard.com counted billboards on a recent trip to Thailand, from the airport into the city, for an hour: 100% (!) were for Chinese cars, most were for EVs of course a huge battery EREV was one of the ads let this sink in, what's happening Around The World #alwaysbecharging

German managers deciding anything based on a dying fossil market are in the deepest of troubles a couple of years down the line #alwaysbecharging

Without digging deeper into the Sept 25 numbers: 173k BEVs produced in Germany vs. 45k BEV registrations ==> Considering the import share of the registrations, at least 80 % of the produced BEVs were exported. The German based car producers are moving much faster to BEV then their domestic market

To all those BEV market share number crunchers, @leraffl.bsky.social, @troelschristensen.bsky.social, @electricfelix.bsky.social, this rather surprised me today: In Sept. 2025, 392k cars rolled of the assembly lines in Germany - the BEV share was 44,2 % (!) Source: www.vda.de/de/aktuelles...

"In Germany, BYD registered more than four times as many vehicles as Tesla in October, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority. Through the first 10 months of the year, BYD trails by only 424 cars." 🚨🚨🚨 #alwaysbecharging www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This week on @SinicaPodcast, I spoke with Lizzi Lee of the Asia Society Policy Institute about China's 4th Plenum, the anti-involution push, why "overcapacity" is misleading, VAT incentives driving overcompetition, and what really happened at the Trump-Xi meeting in Busan.

BYD operates one of Latin America’s largest EV plants in Brazil. "Built on the site of a shuttered Ford facility, the 4.6-million-square-meter complex is expected to produce up to 300,000 cars a year." BYD takes over a closed Ford plant. Legacy auto shrinks. #energysky www.cnbc.com/2025/11/05/c...

A motor of 59 kW/kg! 750 horsepowers with a weight of just 12.7 kg! That's the type of motor that can drive all but the fastest sportscars in a ludicrously small package. electriccarsreport.com/2025/11/yasa...

no this thing is crazy pretty. (Xpeng P7) @insideevs.com

Also wow - having control of your full stack of technologies is absolutely key to future proofing your auto company

The 100% zero-emission car target by 2035 in the #EU and #UK will require policies and incentives to reach. Estimates for 2035 show that new #BEV adoption remains uneven according to below #map! #RepowerEU #Europe + #EFTA & #Türkiye Data by @leraffl.bsky.social 🔗 leraffl.github.io/LeRaffl-Gall...

OPEC+ just announced another boost in oil production despite the falling demand for gas and diesel. That's going to hurt U.S. oil producers by keeping oil around $60/bbl which is good because we need to have our oil industry in the U.S. become weaker, less wealthy, even if slows EV uptake here.

EU is like 500 million people (29%), China 1.3 billion (50%+) - that’s a huge chunk of the world buying a high percentage of EVs. Wonder if oil for transportation goes into a terminal decline.

The Nio ES8 got an update that gave it a new platformy and styling reminiscent of the flagship ES9 sedan. This car can be had for about $42,000, or the same price as the China-Only Tesla Model Y L three row, provided you opt into Nio’s battery lease program. @insideevs.com

China’s eating our lunch here.

Every time I come to China I get more and more annoyed with how many interesting, well resolved choices in budget EVs they have that we don’t. This is the GAC Aion UT, a small hatchback about the size of a Chevy bolt that stickers for about $10,000 USD. @insideevs.com

Now we need one to respond to “eVs in condo buildings will make the building blow up and/or the parkade collapse under the excess weight.” Please?

About 20 minutes after entering Spain - the very first car ad shows up in Figueres: You guessed it #BYD selling a 12K vehicle (on paper, subsidies etc lalala, but still) who can compete? ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging

This Is a really good conversation between @mliebreich.bsky.social and @kingsmillbond.bsky.social sith a dire warning to Norway: «as change goes from [fossil] growth to decline, there will be very profound consequences. That is also very rarely in the debate.»

WOW !!!! October UK sales out and first Pure EV beats petrol again but Tesla just 405 sales Ford the top at 2135 !!! @luisvaldes.bsky.social @leraffl.bsky.social @doctorsnacks.bsky.social @zamafir.bsky.social @billheywood.bsky.social

29 cents highway charging, no not adhoc, registration AND (free) membership needed, took ten minutes to setup my dad’s account but WOW Europe we can do this 🇪🇺🪩🪩 Up to 400kW! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🇫🇷 #alwaysbecharging

Wolfgang Munchau: "The future of cars is electric, digital &, in particular, Chinese" "Gottlieb Daimler invented the motor car, probably the single most successful product of the industrial age, in 1885. It would be several decades until the car revolutionised how we live. Modern suburbia ...."

David Luhnow: "The rot at the heart of Europe or... On the importance of aptitude and attitude. Europe has the first, but has lost the second. It has largely stopped innovating, and it will pay the price." #alwaysbecharging unherd.com/2025/11/the-...

The grid offers only 86kW here🇪🇸 yet these 300kW chargers promise to offer way more: it's happening in Spain: battery backed fast charging! #alwaysbecharging 🔋🔋 now where is this hardware coming from ;-) == Calle del Aguacate, 47, Carabanchel, Madrid == www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
