@BoschAustralia your staff are blocking @Tesla chargers at The Ginger Factory in Yandina (Queensland).
Not an accident either - they’ve pulled the cable out and jammed it into the ute.
What’s Bosch company policy on this?

These EV chargers in rural Hokkaido, Japan have little sheds to keep them warm. During winter it hits -30c here 😳

EV or Gas,What Pollutes More?
This is a 2 year old video, but it’s really good, and you’ve probably seen it, but it is so good you have to see it again or share it with some frenemies when you try to explain why EV wins over gas powered vehicles anyway how you count with a gas-lover!
Enjoy!
If you recognize the voice, it comes from Robert at @FullyChargedShw
And the data and animation comes from @GassTroll

NSW introduces hefty fines for fossil fuel vehicles parked in #EV charging bays, and for EV drivers who don't move on, or go ballooning instead ow.ly/HpTH50MV0Pj

This is huge. Half of the world's new buses were electric in 2022.
% of global sales that were electric in 2022:
🚎 Buses: 49%
🛵 Motorbikes: 39%
🚗 Cars: 13%
🚛 Trucks: 4%

Fingers crossed for wireless EV charging tech. It would be so convenient!

In Sweden, they place a pad under electric vehicles and wirelessly charge when the other pad is mounted on the road. They can be charged enough to drive 100km in 30 minutes. Currently in testing phase...

#Wind and #solar generated 10.3% of global #electricity for the first time in 2021, rising from 9.3% in 2020, still a lot to do but hope is there #green #ecology #climate #Infographic

Most of the Electric Vehicle, especially the Battery, can be successfully recycled
23 Dec 2022
quick fact check:
1. "if recycled, 95% of lithium-ion battery components can be turned into new batteries or used in other industries." reports the @CSIRO
2. very many EV owners and all public chargers use renewables… and most states will be >50% RE in ~3 years.

☀️Huge milestone for SA!☀️ The state has been effectively powered by green energy for a week.
✅ No coal used
✅ Wind and solar contributed 103.5% of demand on average
✅ average cost of a unit of energy dropped to -$26.35.

key stats to help you prepare for the onslaught of gaslighting by australia's fossil fuel sector.
• 86% of our coal is exported
• 75% of our gas is exported
the price caps will allow them to continue #WarProfiteering on exports, and still extract healthy profits domestically.

Whenever I talk about EVs, someone always asks "what about emissions from battery production & minerals?" Turns out: upstream emissions associated with producing gasoline for an ICE vehicle are larger than those 'embedded' in minerals and battery production for an EV. ⤵️

Imagine what could be achieved in #Australia if we weren’t giving $20,000 per minute to #fossilfuel subsidies? #ClimateAction #ElectricVehicles

China is really crushing it on EV fast charger installations. Heading for 6X the rest of world combined this year.

The Australian government spends $22,000 on fossil fuel subsidies EVERY MINUTE according to the Australia Institute. australiainstitute.org.au/po… #evtax #climate #fossilfuel #auspol #renewables

“Last year, Australia exported 247,000 tons of lithium, accounting for around 50% of global supply (mining.com)”. Great opportunity to build @Tesla batteries in #Australia 🦘🇦🇺

“Over the lifetime of the vehicle, total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with manufacturing, charging, and driving an EV are typically lower than the total GHGs associated with a gasoline car” (US Govt EPA - Energy Vehicle Myths) #EV #CleanEnergy

When will the Qld Fuel Price Reporting Regulation be amended to include EV charger prices and availability, bringing public reporting inline with petrol and hydrogen? Important for all EV drivers! @EVCouncil @MickdeBrenni #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy

The @Chargefox experience - broken and out of order EV chargers along the Qld Electric Superhighway. With over $6 million of Australian government funding to date we expect more #ElectricVehicles @TritiumCharging @AnnastaciaMP
