Jay McKinsey + 1,490 October 28, 2022 1 minute readOctober 27, 20225:10 AM PDTLast Updated 19 hours ago Tesla's Model Y tops new car registrations in Europe in September - report Reuters Model Y cars are pictured during the opening ceremony of the new Tesla Gigafactory for electric cars in Gruenheide, Germany, March 22, 2022. Patrick Pleul/Pool via REUTERS Oct 27 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) Model Y topped new vehicle registrations in Europe last month, market research data showed, indicating that the mid-sized SUV from the world's most valuable automaker is fast-becoming a vehicle of choice in the region. This is the first time that Tesla's sports utility vehicle has led the rankings in Europe, London-based JATO Dynamics said on Wednesday as 29,367 Model Y cars were registered last month, up 227% from last year.

Rob Plant + 2,756 RP October 28, 2022 13 hours ago, Jay McKinsey said: Your mistake is quite obvious. You have no concept of how many EV charging stations we have. They are everywhere here in California and are spreading rapidly across the country. If you ever elect a labour government you might find out. Here is the next network to be built Tritium makes DC fast chargers for EVs. DC-America designs, makes, and installs EV charging stations. And now, the two companies are going to team up to create a US-wide, federally funded EV charging network. Tritium and DC-America’s big US charging network Specifically, DC-America’s charging station infrastructure will be equipped with Tritium’s fast chargers. The rollout plan is, according to the two companies, expected to be compliant with federal Buy America standards and eligible for all 52 state and territories as part of the US Department of Transportation’s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program, which will provide funding to states to strategically deploy EV charging stations. The program is allotted $1 billion a year from 2022 for five years. According to the US Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, this investment will help build EV chargers across more than 75,000 miles of highway nationwide. At the end of August, Tritium opened the doors of its new EV charger manufacturing facility in Lebanon, Tennessee – its first production footprint in the US. It’s expected to produce up to 30,000 DC fast chargers per year at peak capacity. Ok its good theyre "planning" to do this, maybe when they have finished the job in 5 years time or so EV's will be practical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Plant + 2,756 RP October 28, 2022 On 10/26/2022 at 6:49 PM, Jay McKinsey said: I don't need an EV to know how many miles I drive per day. 37 is a very long way from 200. The Silverado reviews in a year will tell us just what the real number is. The F150 lightning comes in just shy of its EPA rating: The F-150 Lightning with the extended range battery we tested in July went 270 miles (435 km) in our 70 mph range test, falling about 5% less than the vehicle's highway EPA range rating of 283 miles (455 km) The GM Hummer beats its EPA rating The Hummer EV surprised up a bit and finished up with 343 miles on the trip gauge and an average consumption rate of 1.6 miles per kWh (38.75 kWh/100km). Amazingly, the Hummer EV managed to beat its combined EPA range rating in our 70 mph range test by 14 miles Thinking about it more it sounds like your problem is mostly that there aren't enough dc fast chargers. Just as soon as you vote in a Labour gov't that will likely be solved. I may well do that Jay as my MP (member of parliament) is probably the biggest clown on the planet and a Tory. Problem is he has one of the safest seats in the country. Look I hope youre right as I have a problem with deaths attributed to pollution globally it just seems that if OilPrice is typical of the populace of America then there doesnt seem to be the belief or desire to go down the EV route for some time. Yes I have no issue with EV's its the infrastructure that currently lets the whole thing down but as you posted maybe that will change soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Less than .5 percent if that of Americans are driving passenger cars driving more than 200 miles a day for any daily business or commute..... I posted the facts for you to read.........Please read again Unless you are driving for Uber or delivering Pizzas in rural America???? ha ha ha The Uber drivers I know are already driving EV's or hybrids as they have abandoned ICE vehicles to save money on fuel costs. And I would not order a Pizza from a Pizza shop more than a few miles from my home as I do not like cold soggy pizza...... Unless you think that many Americans like cold soggy pizza..... so no 99.5 percent of Americans do not drive 200 + miles for business trips in passenger cars or suvs' on a daily basis do you thing many Americans drive over 200 miles making business trips every day????? I do not know any one that does this ...............They use the phone or email these days No my point was on business trips that these may need to be done 3 or 4 times a month which would naturally put off those having to do that in buying an EV. and they would choose an ICE or hybrid. If youre saying that never happens it sounds surprising to me but maybe with Skype and Teams these days its not such a problem as it was pre-pandemic.

If you are a business person in LA today the possible business trips you are describing are 1. SF/Sacramento 2. Las Vegas 3. Phoenix AZ 4 San Diego, that's it. There are hundreds of charging stations on each of those routes today. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay McKinsey + 1,490 October 28, 2022 China Electric Car Sales — 26% Fully Electric, 35% Have A Plug Plugin vehicles continue to be all the rage in the Chinese auto market. They grew 78% year over year (YoY) in September. They scored over 636,000 registrations last month, a new record. Plugin hybrids (PHEVs) surged 148% year over year (YoY). They reached 161,000 registrations in September, which is their fourth fifth record month in row. It seems the Chinese version of PHEVs, with an average of 30+ kWh batteries and working more as EREVs, has struck a chord with buyers. As for BEVs, they grew a “paltry” 62% … to a record 475,000 units. If electrification continues at this pace, expect in a year from now the plugin share to be at some 45%, with BEVs owning one third (33%) of the Chinese market! And expect BEVs to cross the 50% share threshold by 2025! Imagine that: the largest automotive market in the world being BEV-based in three years time!

That was the strategy behind moving Tesla to Texas, the heart of pro oil, anti EV culture in the US.
