China doesnโt have legacy ICE technology holding it back. The business models for EV and ICE are mutually exclusive.
The @theguardian.com correctly identifies that speeding up transition to electric vehicles is only option for UK automotive industry survival
China is dominant because it has better technology. They're not going to stand still to let western carmakers catch up

Any car, even electric cars, arenโt the best. Public transit needs better funding
Asia & South America are the new epicenters of growth. China leads global expansion with a booming middle class, cutting-edge tech, EVs, robotics, renewables & a thriving digital economy. South America rises on resource wealth, trade ties & infrastructure. The future is undeniably China-powered. #EV
History shows us how defeat can pave the way for triumph

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.

Busy day today and now I have to go peddle on the bike to keep me active and sane, so I will 'leave you*' with four images of Mont Saint Michel on a scorching day back in September 2022.

Uh oh. Don't tell the "EV sales have stalled" folks, but August saw a set of new records in the US:
-Most plug-in vehicles sold (145k)
-Most battery electric vehicles sold (121k)
-Highest battery electric (8.6%) and plug-in vehicle sales shares (10.2%)

TO BE CLEAR, despite the many complexities, problems & grey areas that make electric vehicles MUCH more complicated than the โsilver bulletsโ many claim them to be, I DO support the rapid replacement of ICE vehicles with EVs.
It will take longer and be more complicated than boosters think.

THREAD: Iโm going to share this thread here to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, for all those who frequently ask me about it, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share it frequently if you think it will help. ๐งต#EVS
It's clear that electric vehicles are the direction of travel for the automotive industry for their running cost, emissions, driver experience and other advantages
So it remains staggering just how far ahead China is of any other country or region in the world

Hereโs the blunt reality โ reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars canโt be the future of urban mobility.
Fewer cars.
Less driving.
More inviting mobility choices.
Better communities and cities.
These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.
Around this time last year, headlines suggested a possible slowdown in the demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
However, despite some indications of a moderating pace, EV sales are still set to reach record levels in 2024.

Powerful Owl asleep over a creek* in suburban Brisbane this morning. It briefly perked up when a White-bellied Sea-eagle flew over being noisily mobbed and chased by miscellaneous small birds.
