Der Hauptgrund warum sich ohne zusätzliche Anreize eine Batterie sich nicht im CKW Land nicht lohnt für mich.... Ab jetzt bis September gibt es zu wenig Bedarf in der Nacht...

Today’s "anytime solar" revolution is a vertical takeover of the global power grid: With stationary battery costs cratering 45% in just 12 months to $70/kWh, the "but the sun doesn't shine at night" argument is officially in the graveyard 1 It's a takeover of the "peak market": Traditionally, expensive gas "peaker" plants were the only way to meet high demand in the evening. Batteries are now eating this market for breakfast, already setting peak prices 36% of the time in Australia and slashing price volatility by half 2 It's a takeover of the "baseload market": Fossil fuel advocates long claimed coal and gas were necessary for "always-on" power. In 2025, dispatchable solar with batteries reached a price point ($76/MWh) that makes it cheaper than building new gas plants and comparable to or cheaper than new coal in markets like India 3 It's a takeover of the "night market" too: Fossil fuels used to "own" the hours from 6 PM to 6 AM. With battery costs cratering by 45% in 2025 alone, we have entered the era of "Anytime Solar," where the sun's energy is stored during the day to power the grid around the clock, effectively evicting fossil fuels from the dark hours 4 And finally it's a takeover of the "growth market": In the past, economic growth meant more fossil fuels. In 2025, clean power met 100% of all new electricity demand growth globally. This means fossil fuels have lost their "right to grow" and are in inevitable decline

The energy used to make fuel is STAGGERING. Most people think about what happens inside the engine… But the real waste starts LONG before the fuel even reaches your car. To make just 1 litre of petrol: Around 1,700-3,400 kJ (0.5-0.95 kWh) is used just to get oil out the ground. Then another 3,400-6,800 kJ (0.95-1.9 kWh) is used to refine it into usable fuel. That’s 5,100-10,200 kJ (1.4-2.8 kWh) gone before you’ve even driven a single mile. That same energy, just to make the fuel, could be used to drive an EV 6-12 miles. Now scale that to a full tank… A 60 litre tank uses 84-168 kWh of energy just to produce the fuel. If that powered an EV instead, it would drive 336-672 miles. And here’s the WORST part… This doesn’t include shipping it around the world, transporting it to fuel stations or pumping it into a car. All of which use even more energy. The losses involved in the transportation of oil and fuel are staggering, but that’s another post. Then once it’s in your car, it’s burned ONCE, and it’s gone. All that energy used just to burn it ONCE. A petrol engine also only uses about 20-35% of that energy to actually move the wheels. So staggering amounts of energy are being used, just for 70% of what that energy creates to be wasted. Any other industry with these figures would be bankrupt, and it would be classed as an insane practice. So, NEVER forget… Before a fossil car fills its tank, it’s already “spent” enough energy to drive hundreds of miles in an EV. Make it make sense.

Solche Tage sind leider zu selten, machen aber Freude 🤩
🐰⚡️ Stolze Zahlen für einen Karfreitag: Über 73 kWh Produktion und fast alles direkt verbraucht. Allein die Wallbox hat sich 42 kWh geschnappt. Wer braucht einen Speicher, wenn die Sonne direkt in den Tank wandert? ☀️🚗

44% of evening peak met by batteries. In California, world’s 4th largest economy. Not some tiny pilot project or a niche experiment, a global industrial powerhouse If you’re still sitting in boardrooms or parliament banging on about baseload and the intermittency of renewables, you’re not just wrong, you’re a dinosaur California's 44% isn't an anomaly. It's a preview of the 2027-2030 reality for every major grid overbuilding renewables The "technical barriers" the fossil fuel lobby loves to cry about are gone. We are shifting solar and wind into the night at a massive, industrial scale. We don't need expensive, inflexible coal or gas to keep the lights on; we need more storage and we need it now - everywhere reneweconomy.com.au/grid-bat…

Diese Zahlen aus Australien waren vor wenigen Jahren noch völlig unvorstellbar.
No "net zero" fluff: Giant Australian mining group proving that Real Zero is better for planet and profits >24-hour renewables operations by 2027 >100% fossil-fuel-free mining by 2030 >1.2GW solar 600MW wind 5GWh BESS >Electrified rail & 800 haul trucks >$100m saved/ year If you still think renewables can’t power heavy industry, you're losing competitiveness reneweconomy.com.au/fortescu…

A zoo in Belgium turned its parking lot into one of the largest solar power plants in the world. Pairi Daiza, voted Europe's best zoo, covered 80% of its 7,000 parking spaces with 62,750 solar panels. The installation produces 20 megawatts of peak power, which is more than the entire zoo consumes. The surplus charges electric vehicles at onsite stations and sells the rest back to the grid. It's the largest solar carport in the world, and it was built on land that was already paved, over cars that were already there. Nobody had to choose between wilderness and energy production. Covering all existing US parking lots with solar panels could generate 1.7 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, which would power half the country. Why aren't we funding this?

Mein Coiffeur, der mir noch vor einem Jahr erklärt hat, er müsse bei einem Auto den Motor hören und spüren und würde deshalb nie auf Elektro wechseln, hat mir gestern stolz sein neues* Model Y Performance präsentiert. 😊😂

Petrol was never going to fade gently—it was always headed for a structural death spiral. A system built on extraction, transport, chokepoints and constant resupply was always going to collide with one built on physics, abundance and one-time installation. You can slice the data any way you like—geopolitics, supply chains, military strategy—it all points the same way. This was never “if.” It was always “when.” And it increasingly looks like that inflection point is now. What people underestimate isn’t the technology—it’s the system dynamics. Sales are a flow. Fleet is a stock. Once the EV fleet reaches critical mass, the system itself starts doing the work. Oil demand doesn’t decline neatly—it breaks. Infrastructure unravels. Margins compress. Volatility rises. And that volatility accelerates the very transition that’s replacing it. The pushback we’re seeing now is textbook disruption. Incumbents clinging to a model the world no longer needs. Complacency from those who think nothing really changes. And a strange hostility toward EVs, solar and batteries—not because they don’t work, but because they do, and they threaten the old order. Oil runs on geopolitics. EVs run on physics. One depends on fragile global systems that panic under pressure. The other scales quietly, relentlessly, everywhere at once. This isn’t a transition in the traditional sense. It’s a system replacement. And once you see it through that lens, everything happening right now starts to make perfect sense. ⚡🔋 #Bettrification

Mein Tesla Model 3 ist gemäss AutoScout 65'000 Franken wert. Ich hab mein Investment also mehr als verdreifacht. 🥳🤣

Aber was machst du im E-Lkw, wenn du 10 Stunden in der Vollsperrung stehst? ​Kurzer Blick aufs Display: 78% Akku. Verbrauch im Stand: 3 kW. Mathe sagt: Ich überlebe hier locker eine Woche . Mythos widerlegt durch Praxiserfahrung. #ELkw #ETruck #Elektromobilität #Logistik #Transport
