First quarter electric car market share by year in Denmark:
-
@randahl Plugged in our new electric car 2 weeks ago and part of the deal was that first year all charging of it is free (on our supplier's chargers, of course). Felt very good indeed to scrap the gas-guzzler it replaced.
.
It is clear that we have passed the critical point in Denmark on this. Very soon people will only buy petrol/diesel cars if they have very special needs that cannot easily be met by going electric.@randahl next step btw: solar panels on the garage roof. I have a year to get this done

First quarter electric car market share by year in Denmark:
2024: 41 percent
2025: 66 percent
2026: 80 percentThis is Middle Eastern dictators losing their power year by year.
@randahl That's awesome! Here in Germany we don't even make it to 25% sadly...

@randahl One'd have to be stark crazy to spend money on internal combustion in this day and age.
Too many people still are. -

@randahl it makes no sense to keep supporting murder regimes when we can have quiet and clean electric vehicles.

@randahl I'd would look into electric cars more seriously if I actually had anywhere to charge it. Our apartment area has about 150 parking spaces and 10% of them are prepared for charging EVA's. They are all full and the waiting list stretches about two years in the future.
OTOH, I've also been considering selling my car entirely, saving about €350 per month since it can be weeks without me even sitting in that car, let alone drive anywhere...

.@jakobtougaard @randahl You might need a bigger battery for energy storage as well. If you go to work with the car, it means you can't directly charge it during duay.

@randahl Please place ultimate responsibility on the roots: #FossilFuels leaders, who buy-off politicians, religious leaders, and royal families, in oppressing the people.
Until a #TippingPoint of concentrated momentum is accurately heaped upon those most guilty, the weight will continue to cause more and more pain and suffering, for those least culpable.

Actually 46% of oil demand is for road vehicles with 15.5% being used for petrochemicals and only 4.5% being used for electricity generation.
The electrification of road networks (or even better the development of better public transportation systems using electricity) combined with mass expansion of renewable energy generation and storage would have the single largest affect on oil consumption.

thanks. -
@mihamarkic @joacim @randahl There were no charging points in Norway when we started the EV adoption either. You need to organize if you want change. Put pressure on landlords and politicians. Change will come.

@cauZation @randahl Amazing to see the political theater congress is displaying on the war powers act, when the president has veto power.
Now France24 broadcasting is using more anti-American rhetoric to justify the EU's clear divorce of US partnerships.
This is a pretty steep fall, and I still stand firm, along with other historians, that ignorance is still the ultimate enemy. There's just too few Americans educated enough to make a difference.

@rubbel @mihamarkic @randahl Yeah well there's not enough power grid to feed our condominium area at the moment. That will probably fix itself in a few years but I will probably have moved away by then.

Too many people still are.@Eetschrijver I suppose you have the luxury to charge your car at your house? Here in #Amsterdam infrastructure for electric cars runs far behind and the network in the #Netherlands has serious capacity problems. The individual choice isn't as simple as it seems here in particular if you need an invalid parking spot. I refuse to be called "stark crazy" for a choice I didn't have. @randahl

@saarmuller @Eetschrijver @randahl
This *is* an important point… every place that a car can be parked for a length of time should be capable of slow charging that car, because mostly cars just sit and slow charging is the most energy and cost efficient way to charge them.

Canada … 11.2%

@mihamarkic
Dunno how the roads are around your place, but you can charge an e-bike at home and it will replace some of your car trips. But you probably thought about that
I'm just a little excited about the possibilities of the fossil car to e-bike transition

there's a new thing in #China where you drive up, a machine swaps out your dead batteries for fresh ones, and on you drive
less time than it takes to fill your car up with gas at a pump
kind of like how we swap empty for full propane tanks for our backyard grill
this could be the way forward
it even saves gas stations from extinction
range and charging time/ availability is the big problem with #EV
this idea solves that problem

right but there's blame placing, and solving the problem
i am not saying we should not seek justice
but i am saying we should not stand in the way of solving the problem in our desire for justice
we should do both
solve the problem, and apportion proper blame

This is especially useful for electric scooters with little batteries you can just pop in and out.
Eg https://www.gogoro.com/gogoro-network/
You can set up the chargers with their own solar panels too.
