you are unable to own what you write so now you babble BS

 

lets get back to the topic at hand......

Enjoy the graph....have you bothered to print it out yet???? if not , do not worry ....I will keep reposting it for your convienence....

ICE Vehicles in terminal decline....the peak was 2017 and now......off a cliff............2027....the year that more EVs are produced than ICE vehicles...........Oil Demand......terminal decline

PS did you get the latest on the Tesla numbers........2 million a year now.........Man , that Joe Biden sure knows how to help sell those EVs

EVs are piling up unsold on the lots, showing that the market is saturated for EVs. Dead end.

Of course oil will continue to dominate the freight business, there is no alternative now or ever.

EV buses is nonsense, there is insufficient charging capability to support them.

Only small personal vehicles are feasible, and then are inferior in terms of value or adaptability to fossil fuel vehicles.

What do you drive? I can already guess....a USED fossil fuel car, you know, the ones which emit huge amounts of toxic fumes.

Am I right?

EV buses have been the only ones coming on the road where I live. They charge at the terminus, as the driver takes a coffee. Seems to work.

I happen to drive a plug-in hybrid.

EV buses, as in local route, I assume. Not long-haul.

Hybrids count as fossil fuel vehicles.

The EV vehicles are piling up on the lots, the market for them appears saturated, that niche market appears saturated and at a dead end.

back to reality........Looks like the ICE vehicle is on the path to extinction.....

CASH FOR CLUNKERS.............

The peak for ICE vehicles was 98 million    when you might ask.....2017

what happened since 2017

 

2022 ICE vehicle sale were 73 million vehicles and 2023...... heading lower and lower to  less than 71 million vehicles

 

and the future

2024...... oh my less than 68 Million vehicles and

2025 off a cliff ....60 million vehicles

damn pesky EVs

2017 was the peak for ICE vehicles...and the future.....enjoy the chart below .....looks like 2027 ICE vehicles will be less than 50 percent of the peak sales year 2017 (98 million) and those pesky EVs.....50 percent of new car sales

oh oh my ....Peak oil ....it already happened......still waiting for your dead cat bounce.....2022 must have been so disappointing for you...... both oil and coal did not achieve new highs.........

Pesky EVs and renewables

 

you should print out the chart ....tape it to your fridge......enjoy it everyday

The chart itself claimed to be created from the perspective of 2027, I guess someone visited us from the future and put that lovely mess of a chart together.

According to rystadenergy....

So highly biased towards oil now, but also realizes RE is gaining market share

Given the obvious additional generating capacity that is going to exist (actually, DOES exist!) at night in Texas, I can see those Texas fossil generator owners drooling for EV adoption to increase. 

Keep that demand high after peak, so we can make more revenue!

EV adoption is going to dramatically change the electric market.

Take a look at the open positions with that firm.  They appear to be highly focused on RE and Carbon Capture.

The global electric vehicle (EV) market is reeling from one of the most dramatic collapses in monthly sales to date, with Rystad Energy research showing that only 672,000 units were sold in January, almost half of December 2022 sales and a mere 3% year-on-year increase over January 2022. The EV market share among all passenger car sales also tumbled to 14% in January, well down on the 23% seen in December.

EV sales have been on a relatively consistent upward trajectory in recent years – aside from periods impacted by Covid-19 pandemic-related supply chain issues – and a significant collapse in sales is worrying news for the industry. Tax credits and government subsidies have propped up the EV market to date as countries identify passenger car fleet electrification as a core tactic for meeting net-zero emissions goals, but the reduction or removal of these subsidies this year has dampened consumer sentiment. Automakers are now scrambling to reverse the downward spiral and salvage the market in 2023.

The automotive market is usually cyclical, with sales taking a hit after new subsidy rules come into effect at the start of each year, followed by a gradual recovery. However, the cuts in January this year hit harder than normal, triggering this dramatic collapse. The ramifications of this will be long-lasting and will impact sales through the first quarter of the year and potentially the rest of 2023.

EV subsidies in many European countries and mainland China were sliced at the start of the year, and a return of any significance is highly unlikely in the immediate future. One ray of hope for the global outlook is the US market, which is just beginning its electrification journey and rolling out tax credits thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. The US was the only major market that saw an increase in both EV sales and market share year-on-year, although its contribution to the global total is still relatively minimal.

The sands are shifting for the global EV market. Consumer appetite for electric cars remains strong, but it’s clear that tax credits and subsidies still play a significant role in convincing consumers to make the switch. Carmakers may have no option but to respond with reduced prices.

China, the largest EV market globally, experienced a near 50% cut in EV sales in January 2023 compared to the prior month, but the year-over-year change was relatively flat due to the affinity of consumers for cheaper domestic-made models. The Chinese Association of Automotive Manufacturers forecasts a slowing of sales momentum this year, predicting around 8 million EV sales this year. We expect slow sales to continue through the first quarter, but CATL’s announcement of a price cut in battery cells for automotive offtakers will help boost sales again.

Although there was a marginal year-on-year growth in EV sales in Europe last month, market performance has been grim, with many countries showing a steep drop in EV sales from December 2022. With EV subsidies coming to an end, many consumers brought forward their purchases from the first quarter of 2023 to December 2022, leading to a massive spike in purchases before the end of the year. Widespread subsidy reductions will have a lasting impact on sales activity, but automakers will not tolerate this weakening for long – Tesla is already testing their pricing limits, offering a massive discount, triggering a large volume of pre-orders.

Germany have seen a steep falloff in sales and market share. Sales in Germany dropped about a third in January compared to 2022, totaling only 27,000 for the month. Market share in the country also fell off a cliff – after EVs accounted for 55% of all car sales in December 2022, the market share fell to just 15%. Elsewhere in Europe, the EV market share in the UK halved from about 40% to 20% month-to-month and from 50% to 24% in the Netherlands. This downward trend is replicated across much of Europe and will be giving automakers sleepless nights.

Norway experienced the worst monthly passenger car sales in over 60 years, with just 1,860 vehicles sold, including EVs. Electric cars accounted for 76.3% of those sales, totaling 1,419 units. That market share was also the lowest and dipped below 80% for the first time in two years. A slew of new taxes have contributed to this, and battery electric vehicles are now impacted by two new taxes that will negatively impact sales.

The EV tax credit was extended and revamped under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which means that people buying vehicles though 2032 may be eligible for these benefits. However, there may be some hiccups for consumers as the changes roll out this year.

As of April 2023, electric vehicles have to meet new manufacturing standards requiring batteries and critical minerals to be at least partially sourced from the U.S. And there are other changes to account for, including income thresholds and price caps.

While these latest rules may complicate your choices under the EV tax credit, the overall program is expected to result in more people using the benefit over time. The White House has estimated that credit could save taxpayers up to $950 per year.

Here's what you need to know about the federal tax incentives for electric vehicles, a summary of changes courtesy of the legislation, and an overview of which cars may qualify for the new credit according to the IRS.

What is this garbage about Manchin? You have referenced on article from before the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) that Manchin helped get passed. It would have made more sense for you to post an article from April of this year that indicated if the Biden administration did not start investing in the US's energy security (i.e., fossil fuels), Manchin vowed to try to get the IRA repealed. Given that he got a gas pipeline out of the debt ceiling negotiations, I believe he has been pacified.

In line with TailingPonds' statements about him, check out this article about how Manchin built his wealth. Be careful, though, EWO; it might send you into a frenzy. The word "coal" is mentioned a total of 68 times.

A congressional backroom deal to favor American factories is spiraling into a full-blown global trade conflict, with European and Asian allies furious at being cut out of lucrative U.S. tax credits for electric vehicles.

The European Union, South Korea and Japan are pressing President Joe Biden to weaken America-first manufacturing rules in his signature climate bill ahead of Jan. 1, when only electric vehicles assembled in North America will be eligible for rebates to consumers.

Now that must have stung a smidge...Why would Macron become defensive over US tax payer dollar's? Go figure that one.

Meanwhile while western civilization would be gutting it's it's energy infrastructure it would seem...actually it almost a vulgar display of coal fired infrastructure...Perhaps more coal generation  than the entire western civilization combined...lets do some math shall we...I make that a double the coal fired infrastructure. Those are old stats.

Public transit in the Netherlands is vastly different than in the USA. We must cover lots of land. Natural gas buses have worked extremely well for decades. Switching to batteries is a purely green political move. It will cost more all factors considered. CNG is preferable for all large vehicles.
