If manufacturing plants are converting their factories from ICE production to EV production as your article states then what does that tell you Mr.Economist??? Doesnt it say clearly the disruption to business as usual will mean a decline in general production, but the bigger picture means they are moving away from producing ICE vehicle and moving toward producing EV's! Thanks for totally ruining your own argument, glad to see you finally agree with me old man. Your comment is on a par with Footinmouth's grand tunnel scheme 🤣 I guess you failed the general intelligence test again...in fact, there was no evidence in that article that the reduction in the output of EVs is related to anything in the "transition", but rather a failure in the plans to make a transition. That sop about changing the production equipment is clearly that, a sop. There is nothing to support it. What you have there is a failure of EV sales, pure and simple, very much in line with the French and German loss of sales volume and the increase in sales of fossil fuel vehicles. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should get up to date. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Major-Automakers-Returning-to-Gasoline-Cars-as-EV-Demand-Slows.html "Major carmakers in the U.S. and Europe are scaling back production of electric vehicles amid overcapacity and are rethinking their ambitious EV sales goals. EV demand has visibly softened over the past year, leaving legacy automakers in the U.S., Germany, and France struggling with an overcapacity of their EV models as they realize that the transition to fully electrified transportation will be taking longer than they thought. Carmakers in the U.S., Germany, and France are currently producing EVs at levels of about 40%-45% below earlier expectations, the chief executive of French auto parts supplier OPmobility told Bloomberg on Tuesday." "At the same time, hybrid vehicle sales have accelerated and may exceed forecasts, Goldman Sachs noted. Automakers have bet on hybrids amid the slowing EV demand. Ford Motor Company, for example, said earlier this year it is delaying the planned rollout of some of its next-generation EVs as it is expanding hybrid vehicle offerings, in the latest sign that consumer uptake of EVs has slowed down. More recently, Porsche watered down on Monday its goal to have EVs account for 80% of all sales by 2030, saying this would depend on the market, and that “The transition to electric cars is taking longer than we thought five years ago.” " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired capacity: Retirement of U.S. electric generating capacity has slowed in 2024. Operators retired 5.1 GW of generating capacity in the first half of the year. During the first six months of 2023, operators retired 9.2 GW of generation. In the first half of 2024, more than half (53%) of the retired capacity had used natural gas as its fuel, followed by coal at 41%. and what is replacing Coal and Nat gas in the US.......Pesky solar panels....get used to it Luddites, 2025 will not be a year that the decline in fossil fuels slows down. retirements in Nat gas are now bigger than Nat gas additions U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) (.gov) U.S. power grid added 20.2 GW of generating capacity in the first half of 2024 Developers and power plant owners added 20.2 gigawatts (GW) of utility-scale electric generating capacity in the United States during the first half of 2024. .

Ecocharger + 1,459 DL October 2 It looks like EVs are in serious trouble, especially in Europe, where the failures of government budgets have removed public support for EV sales. Too bad...excuse me while I weep for the pathetic downturn in EVs, this really hurts. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Could-The-Arkansas-Lithium-Boom-Be-Over-Before-It-Starts.html "Lithium prices have fallen sharply due to slowing EV demand in key markets like Europe, causing concern about the future of the lithium boom. New lithium extraction technologies, like direct lithium extraction, are less environmentally damaging than traditional methods. Last month, the prices for lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide—the two most popular market forms of the metal—dipped below $10,000 per ton." 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tough luck for the EV industry. https://eutoday.net/chinese-electric-vehicle-sales-drop-sharply-in-europe/ "According to Bloomberg, registrations of Chinese electric cars fell by 48% compared to the same period last year, leading to a two-month consecutive drop in market share for Chinese brands. One of the key players affected by this downturn is MG, a historic British marque now owned by China’s SAIC Motor. Once a dominant force in the European market, MG was overtaken by its Chinese competitor, BYD Co., as the top Chinese EV brand in Europe. The drop in MG’s sales—down 65% in August—has been attributed to uncertainty surrounding potential tariffs from the European Union on Chinese imports, " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
