Diesel and petrol cars are disappearing rapidly from Norwegian roads. In just a decade, electric vehicles have grown to become the largest drivetrain/fuel type in the Norwegian passenger car fleet.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

Volvo’s right — laws and bans matter. When the EU wavers on 2035 and the US softens clean-car rules, they’re not helping legacy automakers; they’re slowing themselves while China accelerates. Regulation is the spine of every transition. Without it, the West bends. With it, it competes. ⚡🌍 #EVS #LFP
Volvo's CEO Just Said The Quiet Part Loud About 2035's Gas Car Ban
Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelson and his counterpart at Polestar both oppose the European Union's retreat from a 2035 ban on new gas and diesel cars. Here's why.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

EV/NEV share in China is already 50%+ — not 40. And exports? China sent 6.4m cars abroad in 2024, crushing Japan’s 4.2m and Germany’s 3.2m.

If service-led planning was mandatory, SBCTA wouldn't have wasted years of staff time on this boondoggle and would be already advancing better alternatives.
And while the ONT connector thankfully did not have success w/ grants, patchwork competitive grant programs kept hope alive for years.

First electric cars and buses, now trucks: in the past we were often told that electric trucks would not be feasible.
But the market is picking up speed and electric trucks have become a reality. Expectations are for significant market expansion in the coming years.

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines.
Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation.
Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.
