That is a disaster, and will make it impossible to satisfy the deadlines. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/global-ev-sales-hit-new-record-november-rho-motion-2023-12-12/ Edited December 16, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More garbage from you. "Just starting"? Less than 1% of the transportation sector after years of gigantic subsides which will surely bankrupt the nation if it continues. No, the Green revolution is running out of gas (forgive the pun). The people have spoken, no one really wants an EV, the science of climate does not support this nonsense, and the cost of this folly is insupportable.

Rate went from 5.45 in Jan. to 6.51 in November. So you are wrong here. Here is 2012, It went from .08 to .16. An increase is an increase and of course the rate had barely changed since 2009. So wrong again. Here is 2016. November to November it went from .12 to .41. So wrong again. So 4 out of the past 6 election years the rate increased. Deal with being wrong again.

Ford cuts planned 2024 production of electric F-150 Lightning in half PUBLISHED MON, DEC 11 20235:55 PM ESTUPDATED MON, DEC 11 20236:08 PM EST Michael Wayland@MIKEWAYLAND WATCH LIVE KEY POINTS Ford Motor will cut planned production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup roughly in half next year. It marks a major reversal after the automaker significantly increased plant capacity for the EV in 2023. EV demand has been slower than many expected, as prices and interest rates remain high. But sales of the F-150 Lightning have steadily increased this year. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/11/f-150-lightning-ford-cuts-2024-production-plans-in-half.html Edited December 16, 2023 by Eyes Wide Open Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In between, in most cases, rates increase so , 1994, 1997/8, 2002, etc. At this point one has to be blind to not "expect" a fed cut during election year and no, it is not "worth" something unless you are playing the SHORT term market rise and then actively sell off VERY quickly.

specinho + 441 December 16, 2023 (edited) 11 hours ago, Jay McKinsey said: You mean the current guy who is overseeing a fantastic economy despite the high interest rate. Just need to get that interest rate cut in half. Pay attention and you might learn something. This bout of inflation was led by supply shortages not monetary policy. According to theory in the text books of economy?? Yes, it is about supply and demand. In reality........ This is the common reason: Governments need more spending money for stationary, toilet paper, year end luxury but unnecessary entourages, redundant facilities etc. They increase prices by adding or increasing taxes on consumer goods and services they never render. The taxes are then transferred onto end consumers. Prices of goods and services increase. Inflation by creation of imbeciles....... Interest rate needs to be increased so that people can cope with the inflation... For examples, a) if one has $ 100,000 in the bank, 3% interest rate gives $ 100,000 x 3/100 = $ 3000 per year or ~ $ 250 per month. b) if interest rate is as current 5%, seed money $ 100,000 would give $ 5000 per year or ~ $ 400 per month. Pity might be those with savings below thousands. For example, with only $ 100, it gives $ 3 to $ 5 per year, $ 0.25 to $ 0.50 per month. With $ 1000, it pays $ 2.50 to $ 5 per month. Target of aid should be this group. Possibly of differential interest rate and direct cash to known records. Therefore, the right interest rate for common public is probably 5% and beyond at current inflation rate.... Russia is giving its citizens 15% to cover impact of possible inflation... Hope my government would catch up quickly with this rate..... ✌️🥳 Edited December 16, 2023 by specinho 1 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Down 3% for the month of November. Not every month is up in every market but every year is. Year to date they are up 39% in Europe. The transition is just starting. Your anxiety over the growth of Green is palpable. Global EV sales hit new record in November Global sales of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) rose 20% versus a year ago as strong growth in North America and China offset lower sales in Europe, according to market research firm Rho Motion. Sales of BEVs and PHEVs hit a fresh monthly record of 1.4 million units, up from 1.1 million in November 2022.

We ain't seen nothin', yet... Its called energy density in transportation is how you move the world forward. Before coal no one moved ANYWHERE or did ANYTHING. Going to Shittier forms of transportation works for a shitty 2nd car, and in places where you can have fixed power infrastructure on short known circuits. Always been true. But the world which connects everything requires power density enabling MORE Of humanity to do what we want allowing a greater percentage of humanity to invent new things which are more efficient at use of resources. Current battery tech is NOT there and until it IS there, talking about "renewables" outside of Pumped Hydro Power is an absurd joke. Going backasswards does not work. The enthusiasm of less maintenance and cheaper transportation is what everyone dreams of... when curbed by reality. Without a universal solution you have no solution. PS: NG is a renewable resource. Oil, nope. Coal: Nope. PPS: Expectation... AKA inside knowledge on how fear drives humanity or inside knowledge of a company or you have nothing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
