You wouldn't know it if you live in the USA or consume US media and politics, but the fight between EVs and ICEs is basically over. Internal combustion is on it's way out. First it'll look slow, then fast. Fleet turnover will lag sales. But ALL the growth globally is in EVs. If your company isn't competitive in building EVs and can only build internal combustion, you're going to be stuck serving an ever-smaller share of a shrinking global market over the next decade...

New IEA data: EV sales in emerging markets surge 80% in 2025 >India: EVs up 75% to record 2.3m EV units sold >Indonesia: 125% increase >Viet Nam: EVs hit staggering 40% share of new car sales >Thailand: EV share of new sales hit 21% >Latin America: Region saw 70% annual growth >Mexico: Sales tripled >Brazil: Sales up 40% >Ecuador and Uruguay: Experienced massive jumps of 240% and 140% The "EVs are only for rich countries and China" bullshit is officially over

@pluginsites I’m sure those same folks are prepared for it to be entirely privately funded then. No federal, state, or ratepayer funding involved, contrary to the last 30 years. 🙄

@willharvy The lowest Gen 1 VIN leased to a customer was 037, so that one would have been used as a test vehicle/demo.

@evchels it’s taken me a while to get back to this one, it was hard to track once my employment with GM ended. But I finally got the VIN for this EV1 which spent a good decade+ in Holden HQ. It’s now in the National Motor Museum in Adelaide. Any idea who used to drive this one?

Most LPO critical minerals projects have used the ATVM program, which receives treatment similar to 1703 in this proposal.
Thomas Hochman@ThomasHochman

With a few more hours to digest the Senate ENR draft, here's how I'm thinking about the LPO content: - I am hugely supportive of handing $660 million of credit subsidy to LPO for the new energy dominance program. This is great progress. - However, as written, this program cannot support greenfield development; that is, it will be impossible to support the construction of new large reactors like the President calls for in his recent executive order. - Loans for greenfield construction (especially nuclear and critical mineral projects) have come out of 1703, which this text rescinds available credit subsidy from. - In contrast, the President asks for an additional $750 million in funding for 1703 in his Presidential budget request, recognizing the need for the program to support his energy and mineral dominance goals. - Finally, repealing and recreating 1706 while rescinding 1703 funds will create a freeze, as standing up a new loan program can take up to a year or more of internal legal work. - So: Without an operating and funded 1703, the LPO will not be able to support greenfield projects. Congress should realize the President’s budget request and restore this capability by appropriating $750 million (or, ideally, more) for the 1703 program.

I *love* this quote from Pontevedra's mayor, Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores: "It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."
Brent Toderian@BrentToderian

This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20+years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

So very, very many industrial projects are hindered by this bottleneck. In many cases, @energy Loan Programs Office can provide low cost financing to expand transformer manufacturing. Come call our bluff. Please.

Centers the most convenient and affordable charging while removing guesswork and range anxiety for new EV drivers. Love this. More should follow.
Jim Farley@jimfarley98

Auto shoppers say they're more likely to buy an electric vehicle if they could fill up at home. So we’re going to make it easy for our customers. If you buy or lease a new @Ford electric vehicle, we’ll include a complimentary home charger. This is part of something we’re calling the Ford Power Promise, which is about giving our electric vehicle customers convenience, peace of mind and expert service. I explain more about the #FordPowerPromise here:

More people are getting killed by drivers than any time since 1980, if anything we should be lowering speed limits (and actually enforcing traffic laws)

@brandenflasch It’s 2024, vehicles are safer than ever. We need to normalize higher speeds across the nations freeway system. Speed limit should be 85 everywhere on the interstate imo

@rohanspatel @danahull @farzyness @wholemars CARB’s forthcoming requirement of 50 miles min EV range for PHEVs to get credit also means we’re not talking about bare minimum PHEVs anymore, but cars that electrify the vast majority of annual miles and more likely to be tried by folks who won’t jump to full BEV at first.

No. I’ve taken down this argument before - it’s wrong but ubiquitous because some very big accounts like @farzyness and @wholemars have posted about it often. 1. There is only one PHEV qualifying for the full $7500 point of sale credit. The Pacifica - hardly anyone buys that car. Kia just spoke about this point and the fact that they won’t even attempt to get the $7500 because the sourcing requirements are too tough… 2. Battery materials and battery cells have a generous manufacturing tax credit. By far the biggest beneficiary of 1/2 above is Tesla and there isn’t a close 2nd place. The IRA is helping Tesla far more than any other company, because of the very smart American manufacturing investments and strategy from Elon/Tesla.
Bots For Everyone@BotsForEveryone

@rohanspatel It is not that straight forward. The so called IRA allows for PHEVs to receive subsidies, which allows legacy automakers a lifeline. This slows the transition giving the "green conscious" consumer the false belief that a PHEV purchase is positive for the environment.
