EVs exist in their current iteration because of California Air Quality legislation and also a huge tool to fight GHG Emissions, and are immediately effective at both.

Lots of odd takes on bsky that are hard not to take as spreading EV FUD. If you’re very concerned about Air Quality and improving outcomes for kiddos, replacing an ICE vehicle with EV is one of the biggest tools we have, diminishing it with “everyone should take the bus or cycle” seems unserious.
If you want kiddos to be healthy, you'll really WANT EVs!!

Already doing this with a home battery, can’t wait to do it with an EV!! EVs are going to radically change the energy landscape in great progressive states focused on achieving globally consistent levels of adoption! It’s going to be a bright future beyond this decade.
What if your electric fleet could generate revenue by sending power back into the grid when your utility hits a summer or winter peak with the use of vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology?

It’s going to be hilarious if Tesla can’t crack 1.5M units.
I was just in China and this doesn’t surprise me one bit.
The EVs on the road there are outstanding and the prices are shockingly affordable. China let Tesla build and sell cars there, learned the playbook, then knocked them off and outperformed them in every way.

At this point I just laugh at the total disconnect between the bluster Tesla feeds the press and the reality. Everyone knows the Indian EV market is 2,3,4 wheeled stuff in the scooter+ range and that the market for full sized vehicles is incredibly small. But it’s all about that house of cards.

I guess the weirdest thing about the car conflation is everyone keeps projecting their brand nostalgia on their pet brands.

The biggest story this decade won’t be the EV share of new sales or vehicles in operation, it’ll be how countries not flush with endless wealth and 1% -ers obfuscating the transition with carbon capture or nuclear or whatever rapidly electrify their entire grid with renewable, esp solar!
