You can already buy cars with semi solid state, and full solid state goes into large scale production & cars in 2027. Not long to wait!

The alternative is rebuilding 100 years of urban areas? For unimaginable trillions of $, and monumental construction emissions? Nah I’ll take EVs please

It may be aesthetic now but it will become economic soon enough. There is just no way a complicated hybrid system stays price competitive with a dumb simple electric motors and some batteries. Hybrids will end up more expensive as batteries

Yep, almost obsolete. Will be entirely obsolete once the semi solid batteries make it out of china in the next year or so

It also drives like shit, a giant wallowing land boat. Practical yes. But it’s not just looks.

“Caution” does nothing except ensure we keep spewing more co2 for longer and cooking the planet. There is no practical alternative to EVs. So let’s go all in as fast as possible please

Data is starting to come in for 2026. Bloomberg just upped their prediction for 26 to 459gwh, which is already over the McKinseys most optimistic prediction for 26. And that’s before the Iran war. Bloomberg is missing the acceleration again

Although outliers like Portugal are interesting, the whole EU averages are more useful. you are right in that corporate sales make up ~60% of new car registrations eu wide, that is kinda crazy. But 11.7% of EU corporate registrations are PH

Here’s an even better source, which makes it absolutely clear that their electric engines are too weak in the real world. “In practice, the combustion engine frequently assists the electric motor in CD mode, especially during acceleration,

Does it? It’s a million cars sampled at random. Perhaps fleet affects that a little, but these are big numbers. Claimed 80% reduction in emissions, real world 20%. Some fleet skew is not going to impact that meaningfully > In much of Eur

1. you are you and your data and your use. I believe you, but thats not useful compared to the real world data from "981,035 vehicles across Europe". 2. i suspect but i have no way to prove... the PHEVs sold in america tended to

its acceleration that causes them to drop out of EV mode, when the weak EV drives cant produce enough power. Can you accelerate all the way to highway speed in real world driving without it dropping out? for some yes, for many no, from the

except, as the data shows, thats not enough to make much emissions difference.

Its time to call a spade a spade - the bulk of the PHEV category sold to date (with a few exceptions like toyota) has been an emissions scam, designed to skirt EU fleet emission laws. In practice, most are mediocre range, low-speed only evs

the short ranges make them impractical and annoying to charge all the time, so people just dont in the real world https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/16/plug-in-...

It is true. most are much worse at being EVs than the toyota prime models. Toyotas were the top of the euro data on real world EV-only use. Every other manufacturer ranges from worse to hilariously worse. Toyotas are not over half of sales,

im sure you're aware, but you're accurately describing Wright's Law and the technology learning curve [1]. Solar and batteries follow Wright's law, and have a learning curve. Nuclear does not follow Wright's law, an

Projects on private land, by private capital. 30gwh / 9 million homes of energy. In an energy cost crisis (nevermind the climate crisis). Can you possibly dream of a stupider, more self destructive, more anti-capitalist, more anti-amer

yep it turns out modern conservatives have no principles at all. They are not sincere in any belief, all will be contradicted or discarded in a second if the leader says so. Makes debate futile, the arguments stand on nothing but spite.
