EVs are rocking in that segment, Tesla Model Y and 3 are the two best selling cars in California, the largest vehicle market in the USA. Not best selling EVs but best selling vehicles! That still leaves EVs below the 1% share of market value, Jay. Still just a marginal toy for the well-off people who can afford a third car to park in their driveway as a symbol of liberal political rectitude. Especially in California, which I will visit this summer. Those same wealthy EV owners are paying huge bucks for gasoline to fuel their real drivers, the fossil fuel cars. And which of these new EVs is parked in your driveway, Jay? None of the above? Edited June 2 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you get to California you are going to see those EVs driving everywhere! Not sitting in the driveways. That is where the gasmobile sits. EVs are the daily drivers. ICE is definitely the secondary vehicle. Be sure and brushup on what a Tesla looks like so that you can try and count them all in LA and SF.

I have already seen too many Tesla's around my own neighborhood, they indicate a superficial understanding of the issues surrounding climate change. But I guess superficial culture is what California is famous for, judging from your posts here. So which of the EVs sits in your driveway, Jay?

China says a third of electricity will come from renewables by 2025 SHANGHAI, June 1 (Reuters) - China will aim to ensure that its grids source about 33% of power from renewable sources by 2025, up from 28.8% in 2020, the state planning agency said on Wednesday in a new "five-year plan" for the renewable sector. China's total renewable energy consumption is set to reach about 1 billion tonnes of standard coal equivalent (TCE) by 2025, as the country bids to raise the share of non-fossil fuels in total energy use to 20%, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said. China, the biggest source of climate-warming greenhouse gases, has pledged to raise total wind and solar capacity to 1,200 gigawatts by 2030, almost double the current rate, with plans to build large-scale renewable energy bases in northwestern desert regions.https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/china-says-third-electricity-will-come-renewables-by-2025-2022-06-01/ How Long Will The Epic Rally In Energy Stocks Last?

They are also enjoying the best performance on the S&P 500 this year—at least so far.
