The Great EV Shift: 90% of cars by 2030! 🚗⚡️ As BEV costs drop and charging networks expand, PHEVs will collapse from 2027 onwards—just a temporary stop-gap as LFP and sodium batteries dominate. Legacy automakers must adapt fast or face irrelevance. Can they keep up? #EVRevolution #SCurve #FutureCars

That’s 2018 talking. It’s 2025 — EVs easily do 400–600 km, ultra-chargers add 300 km in 10 minutes, and networks are expanding faster than petrol stations are closing. Apartments are rolling out shared chargers, and as for “monitored,” your phone already does more tracking than any EV ever will.

That talking point’s been dead for years.⚰️Over 80% of new global power capacity now comes from renewables, and EVs still emit far less CO₂ even on coal-heavy grids — plus grids are cleaning up fast. Batteries are 95% recyclable and getting reused in energy storage. Enjoy that Corolla while it lasts.

Tariffs are like pissing into the wind — the harder you push them as a retaliation weapon, the harder they blow back in your face. That’s exactly what Trump’s doing. He doesn’t care though — every gust of chaos fattens his wallet. Corruption isn’t collateral for him; it’s the business model.

They called it a hoax, but it was just business — billions spent to seed doubt, stall progress, and keep the pumps running. Decades lost, lies sold, air thick with profit. The truth was never inconvenient — just unprofitable. 🌍💸 Enough said. #ClimateCrisis #EnergyTransition #EnergyTransition #Solar

Australia — that $1.60/100 km figure is based on home charging from rooftop solar. It’s the equivalent of paying roughly 8–10¢/kWh (solar self-consumption), and the Tesla I drive averages around 15 kWh/100 km. Grid power or off-peak rates would be a bit higher, but still far below petrol.

China’s EVs keep stretching their legs — avg range soared from 425 km in 2020 to 528 km in 2025 (CLTC), up 103 km in 5 years. I’d bet on 800–900 km by 2030. Bigger packs, denser cells, smarter efficiency — range anxiety’s as redundant as ICE cars. ⚡🇨🇳 #EV #BatteryTech #Lithium #BEV

Chinese all-electric passenger vehicles have an average 528 km range in Q1 to Q3 2025, up 24% from 2020

The average pure electric cruising range of Chinese PHEV and EREV passenger vehicles is 137 km and 205 km in Q1 to Q3 2025, respectively.

100%. ~$50/kWh diurnal storage + wind obliterates coal’s “reliability” pitch—8 h covers the solar duck, transmission + demand response mop up the rest. EVs add a giant mobile buffer via V2G. And yep, a chemistry mix makes sense: sodium (not “solar”) for cost, lithium for density/performance.

True — sodium’s coming fast and CATL’s leading the charge. It’ll dominate low-cost storage and city EVs, but lithium still rules for density, range, and performance. Sodium widens the map, not replaces it — the electrification wave just keeps getting bigger. $10/kWh is aspirational, not real yet.⚡

For a century, oil defined power and trade — now lithium is quietly taking over that role. Every solar panel, EV, and battery shipped is another nail in oil’s coffin.
