Today the official full-year car registration data for 2025 was published.

Looks good. And 2026 will be even better, with the many smaller EVs now hitting the market.

Note: The fleet only increased by 50,000 cars, so the EVs are mainly displacing ICE cars -> BEV fleet is about to pass diesel! 😀

Republicans are literally dismantling US democracy in front of us & the US media is glaringly, obviously inadequate to the task of covering it, so they all just desperately want to return to the equilibrium, where they all shit on Biden, all nod at one another, all celebrate one another's bravery.

I’m aware that some are unfollowing me because I’m posting “political” things (that’s a bizarre word for the evil and insanity that’s happening).

To each their own.

I find it surreal that other urbanists are just posting normal city-building content like everything’s normal. It sure as hell isn’t.

Today, electric cars outnumber diesel cars on Danish roads ⚡🚗
Five years ago, Denmark had just 32,000 EVs. Now they’ve overtaken diesel – powered by lower prices, policy certainty, and a fast-growing charging network.

I dunno, it seems like, in a situation where there are two parties and one party has explicitly abandoned the basic founding principles of the country and the other party is furiously polling whether it's worth supporting those principles, you've basically already lost the principles.

If... "you screw up your economy trying to drastically reduce your emissions"

Ah, which country is doing that (or even trying to do that)?

Countries deploying wind, solar, EVs, etc, seem to be doing just fine to me. Modelling does not suggest that climate policy screws your economy either.

🚙 Global road transport emissions could peak as soon as 2025, driven by policies adopted over the past 4 years.

The good: 20 billion tonnes CO2 avoided through 2050 🌏
The gap: 58 billion avoided tonnes still needed to meet Paris Agreement 🎯

The US—already a laggard on electric vehicle adoption—fell further behind Europe & China in 2025. Both Europe & China have substantially increased their EV market shares, while the US EV market share fell from 2024 to 2025.

Today is my birthday, and what a present!

There are as of today more BEVs than diesel cars in the Danish car fleet!

And yes, that is only counting pure EVs. Not hybrids of any kind.

A striking part of the reaction to ICE is the solidarity of those not under attack with those who are and the incomprehension of the right who think it's madness or secretly someone is paying and organizing, because self-organized determined resistance mystifies them.

Important verdict.

Wondering what implications, if any, it might have re Denmark’s responsibilities to curb climate change, particularly affecting the Arctic, and thus Greenland.
This is a major win

The Netherlands will have to put a climate action plan in place to protect the people of Bonaire, AND make stricter climate targets to contribute a fair share to limiting global heating

So what now? The climate doesn't care about airline growth or business models, just greenhouse gas impact

I feel like my pointing out all the shitty “collision involving a cyclist” headlines is finally starting to payoff. This is exactly how we should report news about people hitting vulnerable road users with their vehicles.

Why yes, I do think it's valuable to discuss people's social positioning relative to other political actors. We're not just brains in isolated jars, producing ideas sui generis.

Politics and culture and media are social.

Our collaborators and funders and platformers matter.
