That was my take on his posting name he uses here. That he is a military Veteran with 25 years of service. I should of known better as he thinks more of himself than everyone else and has no discipline whatsoever in his comments.....definitely not the attributes of a 25 year MILITARY Vet.

notsonice + 1,266 DM October 9, 2023 CleanTechnica World EV Sales Now Equal 18% Of World Auto Sales https://cleantechnica.com/2023/10/07/world-ev-sales-now-equal-18-of-world-auto-sales/ World EV Sales Now Equal 18% Of World Auto Sales ByJosé Pontes Published 2 days ago Global plugin vehicle registrations were up 45% in August 2023 compared to August 2022, rising to 1,238,000 units. In the end, plugins represented 18% share of the overall auto market (with a 13% BEV share alone). This means that the global automotive market is firmly in the Electric Disruption Zone*. Add over 800,000 units coming from plugless hybrids and we have one quarter of global registrations having some form of electrification! (*People have asked me what the “Electric Disruption Zone” is. Basically, it is the steepest part of the tech adoption S-curve. Between 10–20% and 80–90% market share growth will accelerate, and then it will slow down on the way to 100%.) Full electric vehicles (BEVs) represented 71% of plugin registrations in August, keeping the year-to-date tally at 70% share. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will you laugh at all the people who's ICE cars fail to start at all on cold days? Super common up here. The solution is to plug-in your block heater which is a huge waste of electricity - and it doesn't even charge the battery. Fancy that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_heater You severely lack the vehicle density of the US Northeast I-95 corridor. Its the EVS stuck hours in the cold on the interstates due to weather or Accidents, wathing there charges dwindle as they go no where, no where to plug in. At least ICE vehicles can have a can of gas brought to them by generous souls. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the battery gets low they could just turn the heater way down. Not ideal for sure but with even moderate winter clothing people could endure "hours" of slow traffic and have enough battery to get home. Remember the problem isn't really the EVs, it's the traffic jam. ICE cars often don't do well in them either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonathb + 10 JB October 16, 2023 Some interesting content over on youtube Electric Viking .. basically .. The good news is that German car-makers are achieving their EVs 15% of total sales this year. The other news is that all those "German" EVs are made in China. IMHO, do you want to pay $32K for a Chinese EV, or would you rather pay $100K for a Chinese EV with a German logo on it?
