@Rivian delivery van beeing used in my hometown in Germany. Would love to convert one of those to camper one day. 😍⚡️

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@electricfelix We need more electric models at Berlin airport @SixtDE !! All booked out whenI need them. 😭😭

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@demanderbag_ Love it!

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

One of many reasons why this city feels so chill! 🇩🇰😌

Copenhagen completes transition to an entirely electric bus fleet https://t.co/L2BWc5fGzd

@RoamingNorway @electricfelix @RomainHedouin @brandenflasch @DriveGreen80167 It’s really insane 😍

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

Stumbled over this event on a Sunday stroll through Copenhagen.

Electric only of course. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Feels like Denmark has more of those events than all of Germany. Even for the German brands. Kinda crazy.

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

👀

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@electricfelix @DriveGreen80167 You could definitely also spot this in Denmark. 🙂‍↕️

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

Love the dark green. 🌲⚡️⚡️

"Baltic Whale features a hybrid diesel/battery-electric propulsion system w/onboard🔋~ 10 MWh, making it largest battery installed on a RoPax ferry

In pure electric mode, cruises at 10 knots & complete its route in 1h

Diesel-assisted, achieves 16 knots, enabling 45m crossing"

My taxi has a 10000 kWh battery and charges in 17 min. How about yours? 🛳️🔋😉

At least once per month I take the same (diesel) ferry when commuting between Denmark and Germany. 🇩🇰🇩🇪

But today I discovered this sign! ⬇️👀

Meet the M/V Futura 🛳️🔋🗿

A new ~150 m long plug-in hybrid ferry, entering service this year.

While it is still a hybrid system, it’s expected to run fully electric for most of its journeys, because of its 10 MWh battery & 17 min (!) charging time.

Hoooly macaroni!

If those number are right, that means
⚡️35 MW average charging power?⚡️

I know one thing for sure:

Next time I will go on a side quest to find the chargers for that thing!! Apparently they are already installed!

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

Woooow.
First video of the plugging-in in action. 🔌⛴️

[Felix Hamer • electricfelix @electricfelix]

rumor has it: up to 5MW charging!
#HYPOBATT
⚡️⚡️⚡️

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@electricfelix Cool to finally see it in action!

The garbage truck charging hub. ⚡️⚡️

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

Copenhagen is one of the few cities where I actually enjoy being around garbage trucks. 🇩🇰

Since they are electric, they fit so smoothly into the city that they almost become stealthy. 🥷

Pedestrians and cyclists can be right next to the truck without even having to think about noxious fumes or intrusive noise. They can just… live. 😌

And this is not just a single prototype.

95% of the whole fleet is fully battery-electric!! 😍😍

@electricfelix @Ford @RoamingNorway @DriveGreen80167 🫡🫡🫡

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

Just left my apartment and was greeted by this @Ford F-150 Lightning. 🤩

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@Ford @electricfelix @RoamingNorway @DriveGreen80167 It looks beautiful and like a proper work horse at the same time. 🦾⚡️
Now I want one.

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

We all just got reminded that renewables are not just about saving emissions.

They also remove the dependency on fossil imports through local decentralized production.

In other words: Freedom.

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@RoamingNorway Okay, that sounds cool.

[Fabian Guse @Astro_Fabi]

@SwedenSofter You are right!

And stopping the Earth’s rotation is both challenging and not that good of an idea. 😉

But the battery tech part is looking good! 🔋

[Peter Massie @PeterMassie]

Not sure there's a single chart that better summarizes the relentless improvement of batteries.

Costs down over 90%, energy density up ~5X. In just over 20 years.

Innovation is incredible.

Let. That. Sink. In. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

The cost of solar has dropped 99.8% worldwide since 1975 and 94.4% since 2008.

Solar is the future.
