I started working out the rough numbers and % of fully electric cars on U.K. 🇬🇧 roads back in January 2022.
There were then only 349,985 (1.18%), but that is rising steadily, and after just over 3 years has more than trebled (x3.7 more!) to now 1,448,531 (4.07%). EVs now make up over 1 in25 cars⚡️🙌👍

The Trump administration’s funding freeze is extending beyond federal agencies and into the nonprofit sector, leaving contracted conservation work to stall and jobs to hang in the balance.
Donald Trump thinks Americans should “shut up” about the outrageously high price of eggs.
Polar stereographic map of 2-m air temperature trends for March from 1979 to 2024. Most areas are warming and the largest trends are in the eastern Arctic.
Most of the #Arctic is experiencing warming temperatures over the last four decades in March. This is largest in the Barents Sea region and corresponds to losses of sea ice cover (turbulent heat fluxes).

Would we want a country like that?
