Petrostates are freaked out by China!
Why?
China is peaking and soon reducing its big coal & oil demand and massively exporting Clean Tech.
So, China is transforming global energy by building a new energy system that uses non-fossil fuels & electrification to replace fossil fuels. #energysky

Good morning with good news: In next 5 years, China plans to accelerate building new energy system, replacing fossil fuels with non-fossil fuels!
Wind & solar will be 6X 2020 levels by 2035!
Oil consumption peaks in 2026.
Coal consumption peaks in 2027.

This! When I bought my first EV I had an additional ICE vehicle. When I bought my current EV it replaced an HEV and I sold two ICE vehicles because I realized they just sucked to drive compared to my EV. I suspect you’re right and there’s going to be an accelerating decline now.

Dynamic energy prices at a public DC charging station? Payable directly by card? And yes, this is in Germany.
Heise says it works well. I'm looking forward to better price dynamics (currently, it's capped at the low and high end, which keeps charging prices relatively high)

What about a pool of public DC charging stations that could provide balancing energy to the Swiss TSO? A new project is looking to aggregate that combined capacity and remunerate drivers for slightly slower charging speeds at certain times, which would help stabilise the grid when needed.
