ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel. Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Battery costs are falling and battery storage capacity is skyrocketing
69 GW of capacity was installed in 2024 - almost enough to DOUBLE total battery storage capacity 🔋

Interestingly in the next few weeks commodities from China, Europe and Mexico are going to be 25% cheaper on the Canadian side of our border. That’s gonna sting our US neighbours.

In a busy week Canada’s huge presence as Partner Country at the Hannover Messe didn’t get much coverage. The world’s largest manufacturing trade fair right in the middle of the EU.
Hannover Messe 🇩🇪 is one of the world's largest trade fairs attracting 100K–200K visitors. This year’s fair was organized in partnership with Canada. 230 exhibitors & 250 delegates from 🇨🇦 showcased expertise in innovation, automation, robotics, AI, etc

The minimum cost of EVs is dropping as performance (in terms of range and charging speed) is improving dramatically. The Hyundai Ionic 6 has a base range of 240 miles and can DCFC charge in 18 minutes. Note: costs below are in constant $2014. 🧪💡🔌☀️💨🔋 #TheFutureIsElectric
