I had two new @Hiplok gold secure locks delivered for a new bike as required by my insurer @LakaHQ. Locks are great, but I now I’m now cycling around with 7kg of extra weight: something has to change if we want to get more people on e-cargo bikes. #cargobikes#cycling#ebikes
@HullTeslaModel3 Such a shame that the professionals are continuing to spread disinformation on battery longevity. It’s still a big imaginary barrier: https://t.co/5d5ZqqJbTO
Clean v green: ‘disgust wins out’ over eco ideals when doing laundry, study finds
- Fear of being seen as unclean drives overwashing of clothes at expense of environment, scientists say

Fertility rates — which measure the average number of children per woman — have been falling worldwide. Since 1950, global fertility rates have halved, from almost 5 children per woman to 2.3.
As a result, global population growth has slowed dramatically, and many countries' populations are expected to decline by the end of the century.
This is because fertility rates in many countries have fallen below the “replacement level”. This is the level at which a population replaces itself from one generation to the next. It’s generally defined as a rate of 2.1 children per woman.
The map shows which countries had fertility rates above and below this level in 2021. This is based on estimates from the UN World Population Prospects

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger

@MKBHD rewatched your video from a year ago on charging user experience - here is a post showing why this is still an problem as we’re entering the early majority segment: https://t.co/7ummM3aiyN
Why shouldn’t the UK 🇬🇧 (and every other country) drastically increase its people ownership of new renewable ⚡️generation and emulate the Danish 🇩🇰 success story? Great manifesto from @RippleEnergy

@drvolts@AkshatRathi More than a trend - batteries is the first category requiring digital product passports in the EU from Feb 2027 and from then no one will be able to sell an EV without a DPP in the union. Quickly followed by textiles, electronics and many other categories.
@fairchargeuk@lexautolease@bvrla @AnthonyBrowneMP @jennyranderson We need a much stronger continuous public education campaign coupled with smart incentives if we want to keep EV adoption on track: https://t.co/7ummM3aiyN
@EforElectric Agreed - It is what it is Alex - here's a point of view from the consumer side on why we might be seeing some of these trends at present: https://t.co/7ummM3aiyN
The #energytransition and #netzero is about tempo. For individual companies in the market, most of which have now internalised that #EVs are the future, navigating the transition and coming out on top of the competition is a matter of survival.

6 lies fossil fuel companies tell to continue BAU
We're only responding to demand
Gas is a transition energy
We won't move from fossils overnight
We're investing a lot in renewables
We help developing countries
If we don't do it, others will
