The great acceleration of #electric #motors was a pivotal factor to get #EV commercialization started. EV-Podcast co-host Theo talked to former electric drag racers who remember hanging out with #Tesla founders 4 years before the company was established.

In the latest podcast episode, Theo and I are discussing the technical aspects and the cost of converting old gas cars to #EVs. Enjoy! electricvechiclepodcast.com/podcast

Which type of vehicle would you like to convert to an #EV? We are talking about our dream-conversions in the latest episode of Let’s talk about Electric Vehicles.

Converting a gas car to an EV will cost you around 27k CAD for the materials, with an additional 10k for hiring a professional. The latest podcast episode tells you more about EV conversions. electric-vehicle-podcast.com

In prep for an episode about #Lithium, I discovered this podcast and can recommend it for anyone who is interested in battery material markets! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/bat…

Now, that I've finally submitted my Master's thesis (hurray), I can feel how my brain slowly starts freeing up some capacity for creativity again. This morning, for example, I felt inspired to start an episode about electric car racing, like formula e or something.

"global energy transition is happening faster than the models predicted" - Interesting summary of RMI report mentioning the prospects of advanced battery technology via Forbes forbes.com/sites/jeffmcma…

When Sinn's EV-critical article came out, I took the time to re-calculate the entire EV versus Diesel assessment. There are enough uncertainties and dynamic factors, that any researcher can achieve the "desired" results (while still being legit). LOOK AT THE ASSUMPTIONS

Stopping climate change is only expensive compared to an imaginary world where climate change doesn't exist. It's *incredibly cheap* compared to the actual cost of a 3 degree warmer world.

On behalf of the latest episode about the total lifecycle emissions of EVs, Theo and I created a spreadsheet and played around with different scenarios. Feel free to adjust the assumptions yourself! The calculation is available for download. patreon.com/electricvehicl…

I am blown away by this summary of a study that calculated the country-level social cost of carbon. It shows that climate change is global injustice. I highly recommend checking it out. vox.com/2018/9/26/1789… via Vox

As a #formulae fan, I was very excited to find this beauty at the entrance of the Vancouver #Globe2020

Learned a lot at the @revolutionconf Digital Webinar. For example, here is a screenshot showing how #technology improvements lead to #battery price reductions. Watch it here: youtube.com/watch?v=ArABBa…

“Austria became the 2nd European country to eliminate coal power from its electricity grid and said it’s looking toward #RenewableEnergy to fuel future economic growth.” Many more countries expected to join this list including the UK, Italy and France. leaderpost.com/pmn/business-p…

What's so great about solid state #batteries? Are they going to change the world in a flash? Listen now for a reasoned discussion of all these questions and more in the latest podcast episode. ow.ly/QMP550zvEBJ

Lithium in Alberta, and Cobalt in Ontario. Canada seems to be well prepared for the #EV transition. theglobeandmail.com/business/indus…

We're very proud - the first Tesla Megapack in the world! This will be one of many highlights at our June 4 Annual General Meeting. Hey Elon Musk, not bad for a small, municipal utility on the east coast of #Canada, eh? #poweringourfuture #renewables

It was a pleasure to work on a #podcast episode about #EVs in #Norway last week. Available at every podcast app. castbox.fm/vd/270391999
