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

If I could buy an American BEV pickup here in Sweden, then I would, if I could afford it of course. My current American ICE pickup is more than 10 years old. Maybe by the time I can afford one they will be available here. I’m not kidding. I would buy one.

I had some hopes for the Ford Lightning when it was being tested in Norway. But it maybe seems to have vanished?

I will say it’s not all that different from a big SUV. there are a gazillion Land Rovers here that are just as huge

"rich Icelanders love America" was one of the things he told us. Caveat he also said climate change wasn't a big deal because "look how big that glacier is".
