Good morning with good news: EVs in UK had best month ever in September & were 45% autos sold! Full-electrics (BEV) surged 36% to a record & were 28% of sales. Plug-in hybrids were 17%. Chinese EVs are available in UK. UK is world's 7th largest auto market. electrek.co/2026/10/02/u... #energysky

Full-EV Surge! Fifteen countries had full-electric vehicles (BEV) at 30% or higher of auto sales for period of 6-months ending in August 2026! Another 10 were at 20% BEV or higher! Those numbers do NOT include Plug-in Hybrids (PHEV). ember-energy.org/latest-insig... #energysky

boy Trump fucked the American auto industry. first he yanks their EV subsidies, leading them to slash production and write off tens of billions in investment, then he jacks up the price of oil by 50%, leading to skyrocketing EV demand going almost entirely to China bc GM et al left the market

I'm old enough to remember the absolute outage on the right about "picking winners & losers" because the government made a loan to Solyndra and they went under. This policy flip-flop on EVs, coupled with soaring gas prices will cost Detroit and US consumers BILLIONS.
