This will be an interesting day to reflect on in the future. "Battery cells at $50/kWh means the technology to decarbonize most of road transport globally is already here, as opposed to in some future scenario." EVs are cheaper than ICE now. Today.
We no longer need to model for when cell prices drop far enough to decarbonize road transport. That day is here.
Did you know? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, newly-announced running mate of Kamala Harris, was the keynote speaker at our Esri User Conference just last month??? Catch his super inspiring talk here: mediaspace.esri.com/media/t/1_d2...
Despite lots of press about EV sales âslowingâ, California EV sales hit 25.7% of new car sales in Q2 24, and now 2 million sold to date. www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports...

EV buyers have saved over $1 billion in upfront costs.
this is *very* good, from someone who watches this stuff - both the policy and the personnel - very closely. the goal is to quit monitoring and studying pollution, end environmental justice-related funding, and simply stop enforcing laws that limit air pollution.
Finally started actually reading the #Project2025 blueprint, and did a detailed breakdown of the EPA chapter here for folks who want to look at the bad news for climate first. drilled.media/news/newslet...
The details of Project 2025 plans on climate, and for the EPA.
every bit of petroleum thatâs used needs to be extracted, refined, and burned or disposed of, with negative consequences at every step of the process and no end to the cycle. If climate change wasnât an issue it would still be worth getting off of oil ASAP
When it comes to the impact humans are having on our home, the news is rarely better than we thought. And much often, as in this case below, it is much worse. Itâs also nearly always true that those causing the problem are not those suffering the brunt of the impacts.
A new study of Louisiana's 'Cancer Alley' finds levels of the carcinogen ethylene oxide that are 9 times higher than the EPAâs models.
Biodieselâs increased production is threatening CA's climate goals and hampering the stateâs EV future. âCalifornia is giving its support to a fuel that we know is unsustainable at these volumes,â explains UCSâs Jeremy Martin to @canarymediainc.bsky.social.
State regulators have entered "speculative territory" in forecasting biofuel and EV needs into the 2040s, climate scientists say â and they want to see the data.
Ah, storage, you offer so many opportunities. Octopus Energy seems to be figuring things out in this space.
The convergence of new vehicle-to-grid tariffs with incredible developments in EV batteries are about to change the way we power our societies.
