Been thinking about this all week. On the train to the Hague I was reading Edward Fishman's 'Chokepoints'

In 2018, when Trump cut ZTE off from US kit, a newspaper run by China’s Ministry of Science & Technology published a series of 35 articles titled “What Are Our Chokepoints?”

Yesterday we drove this loop through some of the most remote parts of Finnish & Norwegian Lapland, yet EV charging wasn’t a problem at all. 🔋

High-power chargers ⚡️:
• Inari 🇫🇮 – 2× 300 kW
• Kople & Tana 🇳🇴 – 175 kW
• Utsjoki 🇫🇮 – 4× 200 kW

Newsflash, from the world's electrification leader during the Autumn holiday🇨🇳

"On October 1 alone, nearly 17.5 million kWh of electricity were charged by NEVs on China's expressways, a new record, up 42% from the same day a year ago" (near 50K plugs)

pretty hilarious that in fact I'd have loved to drive this :D #rentelectric

Felix Hamer • electricfelix @electricfelix.bsky.social · 21h

it was actually not full (we pretty much randomly took it away from it's "turo-like" owner :D), and charging in China is so cheap that it doesn't matter how you return it ;)

Felix Hamer • electricfelix @electricfelix.bsky.social · 21h

the whole rental experience was 6-stars easily

it will be tough, rock hard, to go back to the hertz and sixt's of this world over here :/

in The Netherlands PHEVs are SUPER popular, so this is a dumping ground for them :/ especially now that thanks to the Commission BYD makes more money selling these PHEVs (for big bucks)

the last ten years could've been used to build "Netherlands Like AC Charging for All" in Deutschland, but what happened in reality:

expensive and hostile pricing politics DC charging allover the place

Well done, Berlin.

Die Zeit reports: "Germany’s governing parties plan targeted EV purchase incentives to help low- and middle-income households switch to zero-emission cars."

An important hook to build on, and to expand it into a European strategy.

the HUGE danger I see around the world today, is the thinking of the Chinese in price

when it's the product that matters

good luck to all involved in the German car industry, you'll need it - especially after convincing Merz today to slow down, when far away from home, they're not speeding up

this car has it all, and no it wasn't my cheapest rental in any way, it's also way too exclusive in China today to be cheap, the HUGE danger I see around the world
