The future is Electric. Passionate about the EV revolution and all things renewable 🔋⚡️
The @telegraphnews.bsky.social with another yawn-fest of an article. The incessant anti-EV bias is cringeworthy and fails to recognise anything about true EV customer satisfaction (90%+) and Britain’s ever-improving public charging infrastructure (75,000+ chargers). Do better.

We must keep fighting against this absurd policy.
Affluent people are likelier to have a driveway with a home charger, with cheap overnight rates of ~7p/kWh and 5% VAT.
Less affluent drivers who live in a flat are forced to pay up to 93p/kWh for public charging at 20% VAT.
Make it make sense 🤔

Trump fails to grasp that the UK and EU don’t want to drive huge American SUVs, nor do they want to eat food swimming in preservatives. “They take almost nothing” is a monstrously entitled view of global trade. A better understanding of non-US consumer habits is crucial to navigating the tariff war

November was a BIG month for EV sales:
1️⃣ in 4️⃣ new cars sold were battery electric
📅 The highest fully electric share since 2023
📉 Petrol sales are going down - only 29% of sales in November
Ignore the noise. The ZEV mandate is working.

Branding controversy aside, why are we celebrating yet another impending luxury EV on the market (£100k+)? EVs should not be marketed as the cars of the wealthy, but the future mode of transport for EVERYONE.
Hopefully the other two #Jaguar EVs are price competitive.

The government must incentivise the British public to buy EVs. The biggest barrier to entry is upfront cost. Consumers without ready access to finance get stung, even if operational costs of owning an EV are FAR cheaper.
SMMT’s October data is irrefutable. EV market share continues to increase.
