More funding released for zero emission buses - UK is leading country in Europe for electric buses. And unlike other European countries where Chinese-made buses are being bought, over half of UK new buses are made domestically. #AccidentalIndustrialPolicy
First EVpoint hub using Tesla V4 chargers
More expensive for Tesla owners than Tesla branded Superchargers..but a lot less than most other public charging networks at 65p per kWh and the pricing is clearly signed👍

Kharkiv electricity facilities hit by 15 ballistic missiles from Russia, plunging the city into total blackout. Water supply disrupted, no city transportation. Now more than ever, people of Ukraine urgently need your voices of support.
Another one to add to the list of challenges the human race will face as we knowingly and deliberately “turn up the heat on planet earth” even before children can be born…
Working in extreme heat can double the risk of stillbirth and miscarriage for pregnant women, according to…
Not the 1st time we've seen the 'Chinese #ElectricVehicles are a security threat' line
Am reluctant to be too dismissive if we have, as we do in this article, the former head of MI6 expressing concerns

After 12 fabulous years I’m leaving Auto Express and Autovia at the end of March.
I've had an amazing time doing some incredible things.
Sad to be leaving the team and titles I love, but the car business and people who work in it are awesome and that’s where I’ll be staying.
All the trains in the Netherlands run entirely on renewable energy.
We have the solutions. #ActOnClimate

Mitt Romney: “President Trump has over the years written love letters to Kim Jong Un, has praised Vladimir Putin and welcomed Viktor Orban. Authoritarians.
We’re the leaders of the free world. We're not the leader of the authoritarian world.”
Very proud to announce @SolarEnergyUK_'s latest and biggest survey yet of biodiversity on solar farms. It demonstrates how action on nature and carbon reduction can go hand in hand - and also features some awesome photos.

Why? Well the A road locally has been flooded for 89 days this winter!

Mexico: EV sales grew 94% in 2023 and are moving toward the 5% market tipping point identified by BNEF.
China's cheap EVs are not yet on sale in Mexico but probably will be in 2025. EVs priced below $25,000 or even $20,000 in 2025 would boost sales.

The more *some* people use technologies to use electricity differently, the cheaper it gets for *everyone*.
By reducing demand for electricity at peak times, it reduces the cost of electricity at these times for everyone, and reduces the need for infrastructure to handle peaks
Good morning with good news: US battery storage "shattered deployment records" in Q4 2023. It was UP 358%, compared to Q4 2022, and 101% over Q3 2023!
Grid-scale deployment exceeded, for the first time, 3 GW in one quarter and nearly topped 4 GW. Up!
