Two Silverado EVs and a 150 kWh battery powered this entire concert tour
Two Silverado EVs and a 150 kWh battery powered this entire concert tour
A five-stop concert tour in Quebec ran entirely on two Chevrolet Silverado EVs and a 150 kWh mobile power plant this summer. No diesel generator, and no hookup to the grid.
I went to the final show, held in a grocery store parking lot in Montreal’s Saint-Henri neighborhood, and everything from the speakers to the stage lights to the kitchen was running off batteries.

It's time for people to adopt EVs and renewables at home as much as they can and our local electrical municipalities need to invest HEAVILY in renewables. Gas isn't going to get cheaper. We can't make more of it, it's running out, and it's controlled by the worst people on earth.

AI would kill you if you weren't dead economically speaking already.
EVs are a good example: you lack the necessary productive investment, the competence and the materials. That's what 50 years of privatisation did. There is no "we." There are only companies, fucking you over.

Thats fair, just wish Evs were cheaper, werent locked down like iPhones for maintenance and servicing and all the Britboings would stop defaulting to getting Elon's Auschwitzmobiles

Low Speed EVs would serve the function once provided by animals, but then you'll have a weapons race for those vehicles in terms of size, capacity and power.
And of course, speed.
Farms should be producing food for cities and small towns where exurban sprawl is now.

Elected Republicans and rank and file Republicans are two different things.
The elected get paid by fossil fuel interests.
The rank and file have to buy gas and electricity.
I see lots of Republicans driving EVs.

CAFE Rollback Cuts Fuel Economy Rules as Gas Hits $4.47
New CAFE rules cut the 2031 fuel economy target to 34.9 mpg while gas sits at $4.47. Here's what the rollback means for EVs, Rivian, and the air we breathe.

Why aren’t we in a race with China to develop cheaper EVs? we can’t let them beat us with AI that could kill is, but it’s totally fine for them to take over the auto industry 🙄. Make it make sense

AI needs power. The grid already has it.
America is spending billions on new power plants for AI, but the U.S. electric grid already runs at just 50% capacity on average. From AI-powered grid twins to virtual power plants coordinating home batteries and EVs, a smarter approach could save Americans over $100 billion and connect data centers faster than any new construction. The real question is whether utilities and regulators are willing to change the rules.

An academic falsely claimed @aoc.bsky.social has become skilled at legislating. Was thinking about how Biden-Harris’s clean energy initiative did much more for the environment than AOC’s GND. & bizarrely, Trump has done more for EVs w/ his war than AOC’s ever done on the environment.

I have to think that the final nail in the "Elon Musk is a Brilliant engineer" myth is his response to the Electric Car transition. Turning an automotive company that builds EVs into a company that builds robots that no one wants.

Give credit where credit is due:
Trump has done an amazing job of increasing the sales of EVs, solar panels, batteries, heat pumps, and wind turbines.
Even though he hates all of these technologies, his 'dumb with a b' war on Iran has increased fuel prices so much that electrotech is winning a lot

There are plenty of EVs available to buy
Partly due to propaganda causing unnecessary fear of them, people make the choice to continue buying an ICE engine.
Trump has tried to kneecap the EV industry just like wind power
He has a big payback to make to big oil and gas for the $1B pac donation.

The US is much bigger and emptier than Europe, so my guess is that EVs would be most popular in pretty urban areas where drives are short and infrastructure exists in greater density -- but yeah, ease of testing/purchasing may also be a barrier.

cars, yes that is a tricky thing as, although UK still has a substantial car industry, it´s mostly foreign-owned. but a publicly owned group focused less on conventional private cars & more on electric buses, trains, light rail, charging infrastructure, affordable EVs, etc. Speaking idealistically!
