Been thinking a lot on current EV market dynamics, and would like to flesh out things in a bit more depth soon, but while others use framing like “between two waves,” I think the shift is more substantial and multifaceted.

I like to think we’re in middle of EV 2.5.

I’ve hit every album in depth from all eras (minus post-Collins) at some point. There’s something to love in each of them. Make sure you hit all of the Collins-era B-sides too now that they’re all on Spotify.

It was in fact handed to him for nothing. I’m sorry, folks need to stop pretending it was anything but an anti-Bush statement that served to delegitimize the award.

That said, adults move on and don’t demand the Nobel committee make subsequent unmeritorious awards.

The prize wasn't awarded to Obama for 'nothing.' The prize was awarded in the hope that Obama had staved off the specter of an America governed by folks like the man below.

Trump: "Obama got a prize for doing nothing. Obama got a prize, he didn't even know what he got it -- he got elected and they gave it to Obama for doing absolutely nothing but destroying our country. He was not a good president."

EV sales will fall off in Q4 and 2026 Q1 due to pull-forward dynamics, but it’s not going to be “vanishing demand.”

The rebound will start to be apparent by Q2, and I would expect Q3-Q4 is back to a normal sales environment.

John Voelcker @johnvoelcker.bsky.social · 2d

An important article restates the obvious: #EV demand will not simply vanish because the federal incentives have ended. Longtime EV reporter Alysha Webb talked to Urban Science about this.

At the risk of #humblebrag, I've said this for months. Lots of headlines will get it wrong; brace yourselves.

EV demand isn’t falling off a cliff: Urban Science

Despite the end of a key tax credit, five other factors are still supporting demand for battery electric vehicles sales, per the consultancy.

Have been keeping my head down while charting the next path of my career as an energy/climate/environmental journalist.

That also means I've been bad at my own PR.

But, as the byline notes, I have returned to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to write about climate issues in Georgia

It’ll take some time to ramp up production, but no reason the Bolt can’t do 40k-50k deliveries next year.

Will likely cannibalize some Equinox sales, but will be instrumental in getting GM to the ballpark of 200k total units in an otherwise tough year.

This is the sort of thing I expect to see a lot of over the next 2-3 years. Hybrids (both gas and PHEV) hitting near-cost parity with conventional ICE.
