If they can do it, we can do it.

Voted today to approve CARB $2.6 billion in Transportation Funding focused on zero emissions and equity. Benefits to low income communities hit first and worst by climate & toxic pollution will benefit! Thank you CARB staff & board for your great work!

Once again, when California leads, other states will follow, thus amplifying our effect. The 100% ZEV by 2035 rule is great, but we can't wait until then. The IPCC we have to cut emission by 50% by 2030. We simply must move faster #zev2030 RMI rmi.org/cutting-pollut…

California hits ambitious goal for electric cars two years early mercurynews.com/2023/04/21/mor…

Rivian CEO: “I think the reality of buying a combustion-powered vehicle is sort of like building a horse barn in 1910; Imagine buying a Chevy Suburban in 2030 … what are you going to do with that …in 10 years? Gas stations will be slowly disappearing; It’s just weird.”

The rise of electric vehicles means gasoline demand in China peaks this year. It's all downhill from here. My latest: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

Despite an EV sales boom, gasoline consumption was 2.7% higher from April to June 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. This problem calls for a more strategic, data-driven approach to cutting transportation emissions 👇 (tinyurl.com/gas-superusers)

GOP politicians use the excuse that China is not doing enough to cut GHG. Can the US match this? 38% of autos sole in China are some form of EVs. China’s top oil refiners says it’s all downhill from here for gasoline demand bloomberg.com/news/newslette… via Bloomberg Green

The fast part of the technology adoption curve is happening now with electric vehicles, according to a Bloomberg Green analysis of adoption rates around the world. Five more countries have hit a critical EV milestone of 5%. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via Bloomberg Green

As the world shifts to EVs, the climate impact of the auto industry will no longer be defined by the petrol burned as we drive but by the coal and oil embedded in the metals that make up cars in the first place. energymonitor.ai/sectors/indust… via Energy Monitor

How fast can a country go from zero annual sales of EVs to 90% EVs? Norway did it in ~10 years. Many countries will do it in 25 years. When a country hits the 5% EV of sales milestone, adoption accelerates rapidly. China is now at 36.7% EVs of auto sales! Credit @robbie_andrew

"California shows the EV uprising in store for the USA." EV sales in California were up 70% in Q2 2023 and have gone from 2% five years ago to 22% in 2023! "If California was a country, it would be the fourth biggest for EVs." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Battery cell prices plunge to $98.2/kWh, close to tipping point for end of internal-combustion-engine vehicles When they drop to $80/kWh, vehicle battery packs will be ~$100/kWh, low enough to clobber ICEs NCM811 may already be $82.6/kWh in China reneweconomy.com.au/battery-cell-p…

This is great news. But keep in mind that every fossil fuel car sold this year is likely to still be burning fossil fuels in 2040. We must move faster to #electrify Let's adopt goals to sell 100% ZEVs by 2030 #ZEV2030

Lost in the groans over Biden's debate performance was actual policy. Trump's answer to the climate question was: “I want absolutely immaculate clean water, and I want absolutely clean air." Nothing about climate change. On the record he continues to deny climate change exists.

The naysayers to all ZEV sales by 2030 was that EVs are too expensive. #ZEV2030 #EV NYT: “Carmakers including Tesla, Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, have announced plans for electric vehicles that would sell new for as little as $25,000.” nytimes.com/2024/06/03/bus…
