EVs and Sustainable Transport

My ride in Atlanta. Gem e4. Upto 12.4kWh NMC battery pack offering upto 80 miles range. 6kW type 2 charging. $12,500 after grant!

@OctopusEV @MGmotor But why does an MG4 cost £560 on a personal lease? No wonder people say EVs are unaffordable.

⚡ Many people are still hesitant to make the switch to EVs because of upfront costs. But with our EV salary sacrifice scheme you can save a huge £199 a month on a @MGmotor 4 SE EV compared to personal leasing. 💷 See the full cost breakdown here 👉 fal.cn/3wJQZ

I am at a conference in Detroit where the Michigan Department of Transportation is sharing its EV vision and projects in the works. Currently ranked 16th in the US for EV adoption, the state is serious about improving the ranking. Can they beat CA within this decade?

So futuristic!

You know what I mean? And wish they had parked this at the right spot.

Don’t they look lovely without a pipe sticking out?

Tesla Toyota RAV4 for people who are new to history.

As per Reuters, Lithium prices therefore the cost of batteries are coming down from this year. reuters.com/markets/commod…

Car Insurance companies - "Oh, these electric cars are hardly incurring any maintenance costs or damage. EV drivers are also very safe with no road rage. Let's bump up our already ridiculous premium by another 20% during the renewal because we can."

LG Energy Solutions is expanding big time in the US thanks to sensible tax breaks from the Biden administration. Meanwhile, in the UK the government is still talking and dreaming about coal mines with people calling solar and wind farms "eye sores".

It is crazy that such dangerous fuel is carried over in the neighborhoods in pipelines that could easily leak or break. Surely there must be far safer energy sources and storage out there to power our vehicles and homes?

This i3 and Mach-E are unaffected obviously!

Crazy queue from the freeway exit to Costco fuel in LA. So normal for a Sunday it seems.

Toyota Prius is probably marketed as a “Clean Air” vehicle since its launch in 1968? Remember: If it has a tailpipe it's never clean!

Charge in style. What crappy weather here in Manhattan beach.

She's so pretty!

"Vehicle tax reminder. It is your responsibility to renew your vehicle tax even if it is zero". How to make every #EV owner do pointless work and keep the DVLA and the whole country busy with no real economic benefits.

s3xy in many colours and config. It's becoming difficult to resist these.

@EpicWinningMaz It's always sunny in the Bay Area and LA. No wonder the auto wipers are crap.

Yep. First EV I’ve owned where I’ve had to manually set the wiper control because the auto wipers are crap.

Surely electric cars must be more expensive to rent for 3 weeks than a cheap ICE car, right? Nope.
