@DegenApeDev I'll try it, weather it's better or not remains to be seen, but yeah I prefer a small, one off coffee shop...Tim Hortons has gone down hill.
With the final April 2026 #EV sales figures now in, it seems the Vikings understood electrification long before the rest of us. They literally made the god of thunder their favourite deity.
For years we were told EVs wouldn't work in cold climates. Too much snow. Too dark. Too remote. Batteries would struggle. Consumers wouldn't adapt.
Yet the Nordic countries continue to post some of the highest EV adoption rates on Earth.
The standout for me is Denmark.
A few years ago Denmark wasn't considered an EV leader. Today, more than 4 out of every 5 new cars sold are fully electric. Few analysts, automakers or policymakers would have considered that trajectory plausible back in 2020.
Denmark's trajectory alone makes me want to revisit my global EV penetration model. If a mature European market can move from 7% to 81.9% BEV share in just six years, how many 2030 forecasts are still underestimating the pace of disruption?
The other fascinating signal is what happens to PHEVs. Again and again they appear to act as a bridge technology rather than a destination. Once BEV penetration pushes beyond roughly 50%, PHEV growth often stalls and then starts losing share as consumers increasingly skip the compromise and go straight to full electrification.
Norway showed us what a completed transition looks like.
Denmark may now be showing us what the steepest part of the S-curve looks like.

Another interesting part of Canadaโs energy story now isnโt just wind and solar.
Itโs #BESS, battery energy storage systems.
๐ Capacity expected to more than double by 2030
๐ Ontario deploying massive battery projects
๐ Alberta pairing BESS with wind + solar
๐ Hydro still anchoring the grid
๐ Nuclear holding stable baseload power
Canadaโs grid isnโt simply adding renewables anymore.
Itโs evolving into a far more flexible and dynamic energy system. ๐จ๐ฆ

@SimplyGregster@electricfelix I ordered a Model 3 today haha, still trying to make the math work, it's literally between the Model 3 and a 2022 Corolla ๐
The era of the "unaffordable" Tesla in Canada just ended. ๐จ๐ฆโก๏ธ
Tesla just dropped a bombshell on the Canadian market: the new Model 3 Premium RWD is launching at a record-low $39,490 CAD (~$29k USD).ย
Hereโs why your wallet is cheering:
โข 50% Price Drop: Itโs roughly half the cost of the now-discontinued Long Range entry model ($79,990).ย
โข Performance Steal: The Model 3 Performance just got a 17% hair-cut, dropping from $89,990 to $74,990.ย
โข The Shanghai Shift: Sourcing from Giga Shanghai instead of the US is making these prices possible.ย
The "gas tax relief" might save you a dime, but Tesla just saved you the whole gas station. ๐
