Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

XPENG & Voltron (not the toy) just dropped Indonesia’s first 451 kW chargers – G6 Pro pulls 80 % in 12 min (Tesla's are still sipping coffee). Good news for Jakarta, but will Aussie roads see this “speed‑boat” too, though Aussies do love GOOD coffee.

Kia EV3 AWD coming to Oz? Dual-motor GT-Line variant (195kW/385Nm) is under consideration to boost the popular small EV SUV lineup, estimated ~530km WLTP range. Full GT (215kW) less likely, per Kia reps. More grip & power for Aussie roads
current version offer 600km.. decent.

Already batteries are overtaking gas as a peak energy source, and we have far more capacity in the pipeline. #renewable #solar #Auspol.
wont be long before we don't need gas peaker plants at all!
is it any wonder fossil fuel companies are spending a fortune on disinformation and lobbying..

Tesla just hit a massive milestone: Dry electrode manufacturing now works at scale! eliminating solvents & huge drying ovens means lower costs, smaller factories, higher energy density (super-low binder), and longer battery life.This could drive down EV & energy storage prices significantly.

Not an #EV, but a PHEV with a massive 300Km EV only range! so, when does a PHEV become an actual EV with a range extender? not only that, the LM (MG)LS9 Hyper is quite the land barge.

In January, across all of Norway, just 7 gasoline-only cars were sold. The country has transitioned to EVs in just a few short years.
Even after cutting EV incentives, Norway only sold 98 diesel cars in January
Norway cut EV incentives, resulting in a rush and record sales. That would usually cause a hangover, but EVs still took 94% share in January.

According to FCAI Jan sales figures, overall car sales were the same as last year, (0.3% +) Petrol car sales fell 14%. highlighting the shift toward electrified vehicles. PHEV and EV. PHEVs saw a 175% increase in sales.
If only those PHEV buyers actually plugged them in, they might save some $

China's MIIT is mandating mechanical handles on BOTH interior & exterior doors with a decent grip space (min 6cm x 2cm x 2.5cm) so they work even if power fails in a crash or fire....in some cases car deformation prevents door opening no matter how hard you yank a handle...
