Eco Tech Daily

Happening a lot lately.

Forget 400 kilowatts. The next wave of electric vehicle chargers are getting ready for much faster speeds. insideevs.com/news/796063/me…

The ICE age is over: gas car sales drop 37% in world's biggest market electrek.co/2026/05/12/the…

Petrol and diesel cars fought for their lives in Norway but, as you can see, that old technology has now lost the battle to EVs forever and I love that's happening here too. Being able to witness the end of an automotive era and the start of a new one in real time is honestly pretty cool and it's a privilege to have a front row seat.

I remember seeing the 2006 documentary 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' 20 years later, electric cars are clearly resurrected and thriving! 🚘👍

There's a new option for giving new life to an aging computer, and it's apparently as popular as it should be. techradar.com/computing/chro…

Streets are better with trees …

Cheaper, cleaner electric trucks overhaul China's logistics. Supported by extensive charging and battery-swapping infrastructure, the cost structures clearly favour electric models, experts say, in a potentially fatal blow for conventional diesel rigs u.afp.com/SaME

FSD drove my wife and I all the way from San Diego to Palm Springs for the weekend. Today it gave us an architectural tour powered by @grok . It picked the homes to see and routed them all together perfectly. I didn't film the whole thing, this is just a glimpse.

99.7% of EVs will never need a battery replacement. Petrolheads can keep parroting “what about the battery?” all day. The real-world data says otherwise. Tracking thousands of EVs built since 2022: Just 0.3% have needed a battery replacement (outside recalls). That’s 99.7% still running fine. Now compare that to ICE: Some engines hit failure rates of ~3.7% That’s 12× higher than EV battery replacements. Even the best engines barely approach ~0.3% And that’s just the engine, not the rest of the drivetrain. Here’s the reality: EVs • One core system • Minimal moving parts • Thermal management + smart chemistry (LFP especially) • Gradual, predictable degradation ICE • Hundreds of moving parts • Constant heat, pressure, friction • Multiple failure points • When it goes, it goes hard Modern EV batteries are cooled, managed, and preconditioned to last. So while people keep yelling “battery replacement”… They stay quiet about far more common, far more expensive engine failures. The data is clear. The panic isn’t and the lies are coming undone.

I thought I would try something a little different. Let me know if you think it works! 😊 youtube.com/shorts/7iOld-d…

I'm back with another live guitar performance!🎸😎 This is my 149th video since I started my YouTube channel 7 months ago. Enjoy! youtu.be/cWThcWBQbhw?si…

Nissan just revealed the third-gen Juke, and it's going fully electric! Built on the same CMF-EV platform as the new Leaf, and gets up to 621 km of WLTP range with V2G capability baked in Meanwhile, the US will only get a hybrid version

Tesla Insurance update With the latest version of Safety Score (v3.0), every mile you drive with FSD Supervised enabled will receive a score of 100. This allows you to maintain a higher average safety score over time, resulting in lower monthly insurance premiums. Applies to new policies in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Virginia & Illinois

🚨 Tesla Full Self-Driving (Supervised) just got its first ever European approval as the Netherlands has given the green light Tesla said it will be rolling out shortly!

Tesla FSD just saved two lives on the highway. A man walked straight into traffic in heavy fog/rain at 65+ mph. The Model 3 spotted him and swerved safely. Could’ve been fatal for both the pedestrian and my cousin driving. Insane reaction time. Grateful for @elonmusk @Tesla
