Given that EVs in the U.S. are at another inflection point, I thought it would be worthwhile to share these insights with all you who may want to calibrate your understanding of where electric vehicles stand, both globally and in the United States.

New York Climate Week is awesome & so overwhelming - there's like a gazillion events but also the paradox of choice playing out in real time...

Anyone else feel the same way? Any EV/mobility stuff worth looking out for this week?

How is electric vehicle adoption going in Kentucky?

I spoke with Lily Burris of @wkmsfm.bsky.social to discuss the state's investments in EV battery factories, the potential impact of these investments and how the industry is moving forward.

Thank you appreciate that

Corey Cantor @coreybcantor.bsky.social · Aug 6

So #energysky folks - general question for you: what do you find makes a good webinar or online conversation in terms of format and style?

Thinking a bit about this and wanted to see if anyone here had thoughts? (Can also shoot me DMs too if that's easier).

FWIW I just saw 2 Jeep plug-in hybrids charging at the Flo EV chargers near my apartment — good on PHEV owners plugging in!

Fortunately, more and more consumers are flocking to these alternative drivetrains (including battery-electric, plug-in hybrids and hybrids). But that doesn’t mean we shouldn't recognize how this could affect affordability.

It could also lead to less innovations in new hybrid technologies and could cede further ground in battery technologies as automakers will have less incentive to utilize them.

With this change by Congress, there will be less pressure to continue improving vehicle efficiency. This will probably hurt consumers who purchase gas or hybrid vehicles the most, given that electric vehicles are already far more efficient in their energy usage.

According to @consumerreports.org, improvements in fuel efficiency have delivered consumers over $9,000 in savings over the lifetime of a new vehicle in 2024, compared to a vehicle from twenty years ago.

As a part of the law, Congress zeroed out civil penalties for violating the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard or CAFE. This change was covered by a few outlets in the press, but the potential impact could be damaging for consumers in the long-term.

One of the less covered elements of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was the inclusion of changes to our national fuel economy standards.
