So big news for my niche EVs / Nets followers. I'm getting married next weekend and going on a honeymoon! You'll get me for about another week or so and then going to take a hiatus.

The good news is that since the Nets are tanking... I won't be missing much on that front!

Looking to get caught up on where the U.S. EV market stands after the expiration of the clean car tax credit?

Join me and the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) tomorrow for a virtual fireside chat with Stephanie Valdez Streaty of Cox Automotive.

👋 hi BLM did cancel the project and now different parts of it have to go it alone. what was once almost done with a federal permitting is now an “early stage” effort in their words of developers. hope this explanation helps!
“The BLM did not cancel the project,” the email reads. “During routine discussions prior to the lapse in appropriations, the proponents and BLM agreed to change their approach for the Esmeralda 7 Solar Project in Nevada.”

Heading to Detroit for the Forth Conference and reading this review on the new @NissanUSA Leaf has me thinking there could be some good affordable EV options coming for the U.S. in 2026…

Last week, it was a privilege to present at the ZETA Education Fund's Climate Week Event on the state of the EV market.

New York Climate Week is awesome & so overwhelming - there's like a gazillion events but also the paradox of choice playing out in real time...

Anyone else feel the same way? Any EV/mobility stuff worth looking out for this week?

"Only time will tell whether the new guidance is truly a win for EV charging."

How is electric vehicle adoption going in Kentucky?

I spoke with Lily Burris of @wkmsfm.bsky.social to discuss the state's investments in EV battery factories, the potential impact of these investments and how the industry is moving forward.

So #energysky folks - general question for you: what do you find makes a good webinar or online conversation in terms of format and style?

Thinking a bit about this and wanted to see if anyone here had thoughts? (Can also shoot me DMs too if that's easier).

FWIW I just saw 2 Jeep plug-in hybrids charging at the Flo EV chargers near my apartment — good on PHEV owners plugging in!

One of the less covered elements of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was the inclusion of changes to our national fuel economy standards.

After the signing of last week’s reconciliation package, there will be a lot of debate on where federal EV policy should go next. But for now, there are important logistical implications for EV buyers.

Spoke with Matt Zeitlin @heatmap.news about the practical implications of the Senate reconciliation bill on consumer costs for electric vehicles.

Run, don't walk, to buy an EV.

“Long story short, the credits under the current legislation are only going to be on the books through the end of September,” @coreybcantor.bsky.social warns.

You’ve probably never heard anyone compare the current state of the U.S. EV market to the NBA. But that’s about to change.

Today, at Barclays Center, a new generation of NBA players are set to take the stage and join their new teams as a part of the NBA Draft (Go Nets!).

I've updated my Brooklyn Nets google doc to include Terrance Mann and the #22 pick. I slotted him into the bench for now... but a lot will change over the next week.

Corey’s been doing yeoman’s work. The impending Clax trade is, to me, the fulcrum here. Need to get value, and then a replacement project center.

I'm so desperate for Brooklyn Nets enws that I'll take rumors of who even went to HSS this week.

Mr. Whammy? NetsDaily? Sly Fox? That's how starved I am for literally anything Nets news!
