New federal EV tax proposal: Where a Nissan Leaf pays more than a gas-guzzling monster truck 🤔
Unless you register as a business, then it's free! Watch as everyone suddenly becomes an "entrepreneur." Great plan to fund highways by checks notes discouraging EV adoption.
Rivian strategically built up battery supplies from China and S. Korea around the Trump election, a move to soften the impact of tariffs on components for its electric vehicles.
Will someone think of the poor oil exec?!
Republicans want to tax EV drivers $200/year in new transport bill
“This new report [from Tony #Blair Institute] is muddled and misleading.
There is far more progress being made around the world to #decarbonise the global economy than it suggests.
For instance, China is the world’s leading producer and domestic deployer of #renewables and #EVs. Its power generating capacity from renewables has now exceeded that of fossil fuels and its emissions are likely to peak in the next two years.”
Nicholas Stern (Blair’s #climate advisor when in office)
Proposed House bill targets EV & hybrid owners with hefty annual fees (up to $200), citing fairness. Critics argue it punishes clean transport while doing little for road funding. #EVs #TransportationPolicy #CleanTech
Auto Shanghai saw ADAS spotlight despite safety concerns. China's lead in smart driving grows w/ startups like Pony.ai thriving. Carmakers cautious on L3 liability, making L4 look promising.
Tough times for Japanese carmakers in China. Honda's JV with GAC sheds 900 workers amid fierce competition from local EV players. Production fell 20%. Toyota & Mitsubishi feeling the heat too.

NIO finally got the green light from China's MIIT to build EVs at its own Hefei plant. This signals a move away from relying on partner JAC Motors for manufacturing. Big step for NIO. #NIO #EVs #ChinaManufacturing

The glass is half full, and half empty.
“Interest is spreading from early-adopters to mainstream consumers, from EV evangelists to the EV-curious. Williams, for example, isn’t concerned about his personal emissions or climate change. He’s just tired of paying for gasoline and oil changes and considers the preponderance of new EVs a better, more reliable form of technology.”

Some of the T••••ers I know are the last to adopt #EVs in Silicon Valley, the last to adopt cars with software controls, the last to adopt full-screen smartphones, the last to surf new tech waves in their own biz. Insecure laggards. T••••ers.
