The last few hydrogen hype die-hands have been pointing to Germany, literally for years, and over those years almost no one has used the few H2 stations they built. So naturally they end up being scrapped, just like this one.

Bij hét interview met Faber bij @pauwendewit gisteren verbaasde ik me over deze. 👇

"Onder Rutte zijn er 1,5 miljoen immigranten bij gekomen." 📢

Wát? 😳 Ben er toch eens in gedoken...🧵

10,826,929 battery-electric vehicles were sold in the world in 2024. That's 5% more than in 2023.

Just 14 years ago, there were 7,200 EVs sold globally for the whole year. Now the same amount of EVs are sold every six hours!

Volvo Trucks debuts a new model that can travel 600km, carry 44 tonnes, and charge up in around 40 minutes. It'll take time to play out, but the internal combustion engine is done. https://t.co/YsXqqp5Dd2

@BM_Visser Ja eens. Grondgebonden warmtepompen, warmtepompen die rekening houden met dynamische tarieven, batterijen en een zwembad kunnen de pijn wel verlichten.

@Sustainable2050 Good luck! Although I don’t agree with every action or expression from Elon. I also don’t like people who continuously call for others to leave for a ‘better place’. Just decide for yourself to leave and don’t look back. Let everybody make their own choice.

🇨🇳 China wins against North America and Europe

While America and Europe remain trapped in fossil fuel nostalgia, China is rewriting the industrial playbook.

The numbers tell a brutal story: In September alone, China exported 464 ships worth over $4.6 billion - a record-shattering performance. Their automotive sector is even more staggering, with 2024 exports projected to hit $90 billion - six times their 2019 total.

Bijna de helft van alle Duitse waterstoftankstations zit al 2 maanden zonder waterstof, nadat eind augustus een tube trailer ontplofte en transporteurs weigeren nog met die dingen rond te rijden tot de oorzaak bekend is.

🇨🇳 At Shanghai Auto Show, a young Chinese buyer laughs off German cars as 'my father's generation.' Ouch. Laggacy automakers facing brutal reality check in world's largest car market.

Reporter at Shanghai Auto Show: "Would you also consider buying a German brand?"

Customer: (laughs) "I don't think I would. That's more something for my father's generation."

It's not just Volkswagen that has a problem. The entire German-European auto industry has one.

The shift from fossil fuel imports to clean tech imports can improve energy resilience

A large container ship of solar panels can provide the means to produce as much electricity as gas from over 50 large LNG tankers or coal from over 100 large ships ➡️ https://t.co/zfFmFOmVuT

@alex_avoigt Both X and Grok are not neutral. I have huge respect for Elon as an engineer. And for electric mobility wevowe him a lot. But when it comes to his relationship of his own opinions and free speech it is like Animal Farm: ‘Some are more equal than others’…

The Great China Car Blitzkrieg

Officials in Beijing may deny it. But – make no mistake – China has launched a global car blitzkrieg.

China will export a stunning 6 million cars to more than one hundred countries this year, cementing its position as the world’s No. 1 exporter.

The average price of those made-in-China cars: $19,000. That’s less than half the average price of a new car in America and Europe.

Consumers in every time zone are leaving their Chevys, VWs and Hondas in favor of new models from Chery, MG, Changan and BYD.

While Chinese automakers steal chunks of market share, Japanese, European and American competitors appear to have no response.

They are confused and overwhelmed by the speed and strength of the Chinese offensive...

Dit is nou echt de psychologie van zelfbedrog tot aan de bodem, en daardoorheen. Hoe groter de problemen worden, en hoe minder oplossingen men nog heeft, te te harder worden ze ontkend.

VW Group's CFO spoke to employees today: "We still have a year, maybe two years, to turn things around. But we have to make use of this time."

"Simultaneously, we need to reduce the complexity of our processes and leverage even more group synergies."

"We have been spending more money at the brand than we earn for some time now. That doesn't go well in the long term. If we carry on like this, we won't succeed in the transformation."

"It is our joint responsibility to improve the cost efficiency of the German sites in particular. We need to increase productivity and reduce costs."

The transition to electric cars is changing the global auto industry, and growing competition is helping push prices down

Chinese companies accounted for over half of global sales in 2023. In conventional cars, China has a much smaller market share ➡️ https://t.co/GyMjhPutHQ

Here's what it looks like when electric vehicles make up over 25% of the passenger vehicle fleet.

[AukeHoekstra @AukeHoekstra]

The most authorative yearly EV report (from @BloombergNEF / @colinmckerrache) is out again.

Batteries: we are nowhere near the end of how good this technology can get.

Hydrogen: more Ferrari's than fuel cell cars were sold last year. Let's stop talking about this.

[Jurjen de Jong - eVehicle @Jurjen]

Hopeful development!
