A new study is out which quantifies just how much EVs help not just in cutting harmful exhaust emissions, but also cutting other types of pollution that come from personal vehicles. But of course, public transport, biking and walking are even better....
BYD beats Tesla in European EV sales despite EU tariffs in 'watershed moment'
Despite incurring a higher tariff rate than Tesla, Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD sold more pure battery electric vehicles in Europe for the first time ever last month

@burger_jaap the fact that there isn't #mandatory #Transparency like with #Gasoline #Prices (which have to be reported to @BMWK and @Kartellamt@social.bund.de) is a problem.
Kommunen sollten die Genehmigung davon abhängig machen, dass gleichzeitig eine 3kW-Lademöglichkeit eingebaut sein muss.
Wow, @czds and I are really happy that we finally went to a full #BEV. In addition to the reduction in operating emissions, the operational savings are already great. We average 3.5mi/kWh with charging at home costing 9.6¢/kW (2¾ pennies per mile) and 48¢/kW (13⅔ pennies per mile) at public chargers in Western Washington state.

Costa Rica, the land of “Pura Vida,” leads the Americas in EV (BEV) adoption for the 3rd year in a row! 
In 2024, 15.4% of new cars were fully electric—powered by an energy grid that’s 94.9% renewable. Who needs plug-in hybrids when your power is this clean?

Costa Rica Achieved the Highes...

@noodle @anne_twain so to answer your question:
No if you mean #EV / #BEV meaning #car as per EC Vehicle Class M1.
Yes if you accept anything that has at least 3 wheels, 1 door and 2 seats, like an #OpelRocks, #AixamMinauto, #UMIcity or any other #PersonalLightVehicle…
BYD Seagull just won one of the world’s most prestigious auto awards—World Urban Car 2025. Judged by 90+ experts across 30 countries, this $10k EV from China beat global giants. It’s not just a win—it’s a wake-up call. The EV game has changed and Tesla no longer leads.

@arrrg it's not protests, but #subsidies for #BEV|s ending and noone want to see or be seen in a #Swasticar to the point that dealers refuse to accept them for trade-in!
@KarlHeinzHasliP @denki Personally, I think that standardized #batteries that get swapped would've been the solution to the charging speed problem.
#BEV|s are a problem and the #EnergyDensity and #Charging problems are hard walls that can only be circumvented (i.e. swapping fluids at a #RedoxFlow-#Battery) or ignored (i.e. #Methanol #FuelCell)...
Solving the #EnergyProblem isn't a technological issue, but a political one (see #DESERTEC)...
@KarlHeinzHasliP That's why I said used as well.
#BEV|s ain't the answer - #PublicTransport is!
As for small EVs: If it doesn't have a #CCS2 connector and I can't charge it full in 30min from 0 it's not practical and I'm pretty shure every charging station will throw me out if it takes several hours to recharge.
The fossil fuel industry is the real polluters.
EV FUD exposed. Fossil fuel industry is out in force fighting the transition to cleaner greener battery EVs.

The deforestation is mainly done for bio ethanol for energy use.
Ben Sullins @BenSullinsOfficial has been making a very good series of videos breaking down the FUD exposing why it is bogus. #FossilFuels #BioFuels #energy #BEV #Nickle #misinformation #disinformation #deforestation #propaganda
Habe ich das richtig verstanden? Wenn ich aus einem #Batteriespeicher ein Auto mit DC lade (Wallbox schweineteuer), entsteht keine #Blindleistung, da es keine Wandlung mehr im Vergleich zu einem AC-Lader gibt?
Netzstrom (AC) für einen Hypercharger erzeugt aber wieder ordentlich Blindstrom, korrekt?
Things you don't see that often, even as an #EV driver:
An elderly couple with an e-Up at an #ionity charger just south of Frankfurt, center of Germany... With a British number plate.
What a drive that must have been.

IMO that AUS EV blog site (that hates hydrogen or other green fuels) has no facts behind their story, just an opinion slanted towards all things related to batteries, b/c:
the Indonesian National Battery Research Institute @NBRI_Indonesia is all-in on using local nickel for batteries:
"...accelerating Indonesia's battery...technology.."
DOI 10.1063/5.0240398 #EV #BEV #dirtynickel
Australian TV expose highlights how Indonesia's cheap, Chinese dirty nickel from strip mines and unregulated smelting is flooding the BEV market.
Locals are losing their livelihoods, with destruction of health and the environment, and there are genocide risks for Indonesia's last uncontacted tribe!

@FediThing Here's the numbers from that article:
"The Texas-based electric carmaker sold less than 16,000 vehicles across Europe last month, down 44% on average across 25 countries in the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland, according to data compiled by the research platform Jato Dynamics.
"Tesla’s market share fell to 9.6% last month, the lowest it has registered in February for five years. In January, its sales across Europe fell 45%, from 18,161 in 2024 to 9,945."
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/24/tesla-sales-eu-slump-elon-musks-donald-trump-byd
And just to clarify, that appears to be less than 10% of the EV market:
"Tesla commanded 1.8% of the total [car] market and 10.3% of the BEV market in February, down from 2.8% and 21.6% respectively last year.
"It sold fewer than 17,000 cars in the European Union, Britain and European Free Trade Association countries, compared to over 28,000 in the same month in 2024."
And the impact is likely to be a triple-whammy, given carbon credits are a major source of Tesla's profits: https://social.vivaldi.net/@ajsadauskas/114217003220367536
