I’ve revised my #EV adoption projections after 5 years of real-world data. Pushback won’t stop the transition — it merely delays it.
• 2030: ~60% NEV | ~46% BEV
• 2035: ~97% NEV | ~88% BEV (ICE = statistical noise)

Data kills the #EV battery myth. Modern #LFP batteries are engineered for 1–2 MILLION km. ICE drivetrains struggle to reach 1/5th of that before something expensive explodes — before the EV driver’s lunch. Still arguing from 2010? That’s dial-up thinking. #Bettrification🔋

Grid storage scales first. Distributed flexibility follows — then compounds. This chart shows dispatchable storage only (not nameplate): grid #BESS, BTM batteries, and #EVs via V2G/VPP. Once FLEX coverage grows, fossil peakers lose their job. Reliability becomes storage math. #Bettrification

China’s 10,000-ton all-electric containership has begun sea trials — a clear signal #bettrification is coming fast to short-sea shipping. 19 MWh containerised LFP batteries slash fuel & maintenance costs, enable battery swapping, and deliver ~280–370 km range. Diesel feeders can’t compete. ⚡🚢

For the first time ever, wind & solar have overtaken coal in global capacity. That doesn’t mean generation has flipped yet (soon)— it means the world is now building far more future power from sun & wind than from coal. Capacity leads. Generation follows. Storage finishes the job. #Bettrification

An EV is a high-tech computer on wheels—software-defined, upgradable, efficient. ICE is a clunky remnant of the combustion era—mechanical, wasteful, capped by physics. One evolves with code and batteries. The other peaked last century. ICE won’t be a debate, just something in the rear-view mirror.

A few people asked for it, so I built it. Battery costs vs NEV sales. As battery pack costs fall toward ~$100/kWh & below, EV adoption doesn’t rise linearly — it inflects. Inflation & supply-chain shocks add noise, but manufacturing scale & chemistry dominate. Chart + data now live. #Bettrification

Australia added a nuke-equivalent of wind & solar every year for 8 years— accelerating. 6 replaced coal, 2 met new demand. Grid batteries now add a nuke-equivalent every ~22 months, delivering more overnight power than nuclear & charging on cheap solar. Prices are back at 2017 levels, trending down.

We criticize what’s clean because it stands out, and ignore what pollutes because we’re used to it. Wind turbines are called eyesores, while smokestacks get a free pass. That’s not aesthetics — it’s status-quo blindness. Change looks ugly only to habits it disrupts. 👀⚡ #Bettrification #Renewables

Historic moment: China’s solar capacity overtaking coal matters. Capacity is destiny. But it’s #BESS + renewables that actually kill coal generation. Once storage scales, cheap electrons become firm power and coal loses its grid role. In China, that’s an easy path to ~2030. ⚡🔋 #Bettrification #LFP

Solar isn’t booming in Texas or China because of climate ideology. It’s booming because it’s the cheapest, fastest power you can build. Texas just set a solar generation record — in FEBRUARY. That’s cost curves winning, not sacrifice. Zero-fuel power sets prices by design. #Bettrification #Solar
