Yep, he is terrified of having to actually stand behind his claims.

The Houthis are attacking the Red Sea, not Hormuz, so at most there could be a $10 increase. More likely $5.

Eco definitely said the price increase would be because of demand not a supply constraint that I have been explaining to him.

When was that? I remember quoting some predictions for 100, but I doubt that I endorsed them. Show me the quote.

And try and show us how that free fall in EV sales in Europe is consistent with your climate agenda. It looks like European demand for EVs has been satisfied, nowhere to go now but down.

Speaking to such issues...I do believe it was you boasting EV demand was up. When EV demand was down. How could such a brilliant economist miss the glaring oversight of legislative laws required compliance only to be followed by another gov't subsidy ending for business. Consumer demand fell by 14%.

Electric car sales to private buyers fall sharply

5th October 2023, 03:49 PDT

The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders said sales to private buyers fell by 14%, but overall registrations of electric cars rose almost 19%.

 

As with electric cars, the growth in the car market has been driven by company fleets renewing their stock, with registrations up 40%.

Sales to private buyers grew 5%, but the market as a whole remains significantly smaller than it was before the Covid crisis

For company car drivers, electric cars attract a much lower tax bill than petrol or diesel models, and this has boosted their popularity.

But there are fewer benefits for private buyers.

The Plug-in Car Grant, which provided discounts on the purchase price of EV's and plug-in hybrids was withdrawn last year, while an exemption from vehicle excise duty for electric cars is due to end in 2025.

What are you babbling about?

Your article clearly says EV sales were up. It does not matter who buys them. 

In the UK over half the people buy their cars through their company and it is called a fleet sale.

What is a fleet vehicle UK?

Fleet vehicles are cars or vans which have been leased or purchased by a company for their employees to use for business purposes, which they can pay for on a monthly basis – a bit like getting a car on finance.

All the more reason why the decline in private sales for personal ownership is a serious problem, indicating a market boundary.

Here is another problem for EV personal sales,

"exemption from vehicle excise duty for electric cars is due to end in 2025."

HaHa that is very different than what you claimed.

As I said it is a short term downturn in the market. However it is still less than -10% so I was mistaken to call it a correction, at -3% it is only an adjustment. I am glad to see that you now agree with me.

So if your analysis is correct then it is a serious problem for ALL cars in UK as private sales are tanking across the board:

No, it is down 3% YoY but clearly down drastically over the last three months. The July figure was 62% up YoY, so that is a long way to fall.

No we don't. Because it does not matter who buys the car. An EV sold is a petrol car that was not sold. In the UK over half the people buy their cars through their company and it is called a fleet sale.

More digging out oil and refining gasoline nobody wants.  Gasoline demand / consumption was less than half of expected.

100% (2.7-1.2)/1.2 = 125% more gasoline inventory build than expected. 

Oil prices settle higher, but unexpected build in US crude inventories weigh (msn.com)

"U.S. inventories spring surprise build

Inventories of U.S. crude unexpected jumped by roughly 2.9M barrels in the week ended Dec. 8, confounding expectations of a draw of about only 2.3M (NYSE:MMM) barrels. 

Gasoline inventories, one of the products that crude is refined into, increased by roughly 2.7M barrels against expectations for a build of 1.2M barrels while distillate stockpiles rose by 1.5M barrels, compared to expectations of a rise of 496,000 barrels."

OMG!! You really don't know the difference between growth rate and total sales! So much for any claims you have about being an economist. November BEV sales were 30K higher than July.

In July 2023, new EU battery-electric car registrations substantially increased by 60.6%, reaching 115,971 units. Total July car sales= 851K

https://www.acea.auto/pc-registrations/new-car-registrations-15-2-in-july-battery-electric-13-6-market-share/

Ahheemmmnn......

Chilll......

60% increment to 116,000 units in July 2023 means

- in June, there was only

 72,500 units EV sold

over total 1,000,000++ cars sold? 😧

 

Pardon me.... We are at increasing trend of EV sold vs decreasing trend, yes? But the figure still not out of < 5% of global market share.....

Reminds me of those jokers at UN..... According to news clip last night, they couldn't come to consensus  to help people in gaza because of the term used. They are bothered which one of the below should be used:

a) cease fire in gaza for humanitarian aid to go through

b) humanitarian cease fire for aid to go through

c) temporary cease fire for aid to go through 

d) hold the fire for humanitarian aid to go through

e) temporary hold the fire for humanitarian aid to go through etc

 

If they are discussing permanent or temporary cease fire, so be it... But, it is about letting aids to go through.....😧😒

EV can be a solution to reduce air pollution in places where traffic congestion and flash flood are not of concerned.

In order to make it a popular choice, 

1. The price needs to be lower than norm or competitive enough

2. roads and town shed ought to be redesigned

3. quality needs to be high and durable enough

- mentioned before, there ought to be separate batteries powering 

i) assesories like light, brake, steering wheel, speedometer, status of car, radio etc. Lead acid is suggested. This aims to reduce damage caused by unexpected system hacking or system failure affecting brake and steering wheel etc. 

ii) body of car - whatever battery used, with aid of solar or without. Impact of flood and lightning should be calculated in to prevent potential short circuit or explosion... e.g. insulator from impact e.g. carbon casing, safety fiuz that cuts letric on potential surge, etc

Good grief the growth percentage is year over year, not month over month, and they are for the EU not global!

Global plugin vehicle registrations were up 23% in September 2023 compared to September 2022, rising to 1,291,00 units. That’s a new all-time record. In the end, plugins represented 17% share of the overall auto market (12% BEV share alone).

"U.S. crude oil production reached 13.2 million barrels per day in September, surpassing previous forecasts.

Improvements in drilling techniques and technology have enabled higher production without increased spending or rig count.

The rise in U.S. production has forced OPEC to reconsider its strategies, as it may no longer be able to control prices effectively through production cuts."
