I'm bloody sick of people talking about the cost of cutting CO2 emissions. According to them I'm poorer for having spent a fortune on an early EV back in the day. I was a dupe for buying solar 12 years ago. Sure its cheaper now but I've had 10 years without buying fuel and 12 without energy bills.
For the car that's no engine repairs, no servicing, no stink or noise. Sure it was expensive to buy and for the price I could have had a brand new Maserati. Imagine how much that would have cost in fuel and repairs! For the electricity no power bills, lines charges or unexpected power outages.
Best of all, it all still works and my transport and electricity costs aren't going up with the fallout of this stupid Israel-US-Iran war.
Making the same decision to go solar & EV now is so obviously the right decision financially that to even stop to question it is laughable, regardless on your thoughts on climate change.
We (society) can make this change right bloody now if our leaders get behind it. We can insulate ourselves from dependency on sketchy, expensive fuel supplies. We can stop pushing CO2 into the world every time we nip down the shops. We can do away with the fumes. We can have abundant, FREE energy more or less for life if we invest in this infrastructure.
Instead we're building a terminal to bring in more fuel for the metaphorical broken Maserati that is our energy system. Gah.

Ex of Twitter (and many others before that) by way of mastodon.social (same user ID across a lot of platforms) and evil.social (R.I.P.). Most of what I post would probably be considered "shit-posting" as I tend to type out whatever comes to mind without much filtering.

According to my home L2 charger's app, I've been using a bit under $30/month worth of electricity to charge my #EV. We have a 22-panel #solar array on our house that offsets around 54% of our combined electricity needs. So, while the Trump economy objectively sucks, it currently sucks less for us than it does for a lot of people.

One aspect of driving an EV that doesn't get enough attention is regenerative braking. The Kia app has started showing how much power is fed back to the battery for each of my trips and it's typically around 40%. I'm surprised how high it is. ICE vehicles in contrast waste all of their forward momentum when braking.
I've heard of people with 10-year-old EVs in Hawaii who have had to replace rotors and other parts of the brake assembly while the pads look almost new.

They have BYDs in Mexico.
I've seen cars from Mexico with Mexican license plates around Northwest Indiana, so their cars are visiting the US.
BYDs from Mexico are cruising around in California right now and people in the US are seeing them.

Speaking from personal experience, this is spot on. The savings ARE STAGGERING. One of our trucks went from $20,000 per year to $3000, JUST IN FUEL COSTS. Never mind the cost of maintaining an ICE vs an EV which is minuscule. #EV #ElectricVehicles #electrification #Electric #Climate #ClimateChange #onpoli #canpoli #fossilfuels

Norway, population 5.6 Million. 1/3rd above the Arctic Circle, and heavily dependent on oil and gas from the North Sea.
And yet, their new-car sales were at 94% EV in January.
98 diesel cars, 7 petrol(gasoline), 29 hybrids.
The rest were EVs.
7 gas cars is wild!
But please tell me again that EVs don't work in the cold etc etc…

11 Electric Cars Worth a Look as Gas Prices Soar

The war in Iran has auto shoppers sizing up electrics. Many strong cars are on the market, and there are bargains to be had when buying used. The only expensive liquid I buy at gas stations anymore is Diet Coke. With gas prices high and unlikely to fall as quickly as they shot upward after the start …

The latest EV batteries from BYD can charge to 70% in 5 minutes and 97% in 10 minutes.
They're leaving American manufacturers in the dust, and after Trump's all-out war on renewables and EVs, we may never catch up. China is probably going to supply the world.

The world’s first #EV with a #SodiumIon battery has landed – and it beats traditional #lithium batteries in one key way
By Leon Poultney, published February 9, 2026
Cheaper sodium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming a reality
Excerpt: "The battery technology, which has been developed by CATL (arguably the world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries), has just finished winter testing in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures regularly drop well below what most EVs are designed to handle.
"According to Gizmochina, the Nevo A06 was able to charge without issue at around -30°C (-22°F) and continued operating at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)."
