The bigger, the better? 🚗🔋

This question matters when it comes to #EV battery size. Our new report simulates how battery size affects emissions, costs, and energy consumers of 3 ideal driver types.

The results are clear: bigger is rarely better.

A thread to explain.🧵👇

Zemo's monthly newsletter is out! All latest news on transport's transition to net zero.

Lots of bullish claims about Used #EV sales growth being a 'turning point' but worth reflecting new BEV sales in 2019 were 1.6% (up from 0.6% in 2018) so at 1.6% used BEV sales in 2023 (~double 2022) whilst good, it feels more like natural market evolution than revolution? 🤔

Wow, very pleased to be No 3 on the #GF100 #mostinfluential GREENFLEET 2024 list. A last hurrah as I depart Zemo Partnership and branch out alone. Thank you all those who helped and who do the real work of decarbonising transport. Reach out if I can be of assistance as AREQuest!

Guidance from Office for Zero Emission Vehicles on #EV 's published yesterday bit.ly/485qVk3 includes a few interesting comments on the alternatives to EV. With tacit support for #H2ICE , #eFuel - As we've said there's 'horses for courses' on the race to net zero. Zemo Partnership

Robust and reliable information is needed for EVs; Cars (new & used), Trucks, #PLV etc. A cause I've long championed (and which we have for Buses!) Zemo Partnership now also focus of today's Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee report bit.ly/49jttvK with 7 key focus areas. Good data is the start

Here MCIA conf and the message on #LCA benefits of smaller lighter vehicles #PLV as detailed in Zemo Partnership joint paper, already recognised by both parties, select com. and industry. Congrats to Tony + Alfie for getting ‘The Right Vehicle for the Right Journey’ to resonate!

MCIA and Zemo Partnership have launched our Action Plan Scorecard, evaluating progress on our sector's Joint Action Plan.

The Scorecard calls on the Government to deliver the Action Plan to achieve its own mobility objectives.

This is indeed a fundamentally flawed decision We have been trying to get the regs changed to cover EV labelling and there is VCA guidance in place saying WLTP range should be used! SMMT Zemo Partnership Office for Zero Emission Vehicles Department for Transport bit.ly/48BaqNP

Good to see the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (ultra) Rapid Charging Fund progressing and that we are now coalescing around Zemo Partnership consistent ‘labels’ for Charge points ! Ultra Rapid is defined here as 150kW and above! bit.ly/3NhU0Be ChargeUK #wordsmatter

Data from MCIA shows October a strong month for ZE mopeds with 48% of market share (YTD 32%). But the motorcycle market currently remains resolute on ICE with only around 2% of ZE market share YTD. More work to do for Zemo Partnership in #PLV sector to grab the ZE opportunity!
