Fascinating stuff happening in the affordable EV segment this year!
🚀After Slate Auto's $20k EV pick-up truck, Ford just unveiled its Universal EV Platform and Production System — and it could be a major catalyst for making electric vehicles truly affordable and scalable.

🔌💡Life cycle emissions of battery electric cars are 4x less than gasoline cars in EU.
A new report from our EU team not only confirms that battery electric cars are better than gasoline cars but also busts some myths about why sometimes other studies claim the opposite.

🔌💡The H.R.1 bill or the 'Big Beautiful Bill' passed the House last week.
And it absolutely kills the manufacturing industry, according to the analysis done by @jessedjenkins.com at Princeton ZERO Lab.
$522 billion worth of pending manufacturing investments are in danger.

🔌💡In the near term, I am most excited about silicon anode batteries because they are closest to commercialization.
Amprius recently launched their SiCore lithium-ion battery cells offering 450 Wh/kg energy density, an '80% improvement over conventional li-ion cells'.

🔌💡Why the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) must prevail?
To keep creating domestic manufacturing jobs!
A study by my colleagues at @theicct.org finds that repealing the IRA would threaten 130,000 direct American jobs, plus an additional 310,000 indirectly jobs, by 2030.

🔌💡The trucking world is going through fundamental tech changes to improve its impact on health and environment.
I will be at ACT Expo next week along with several of my colleagues at @theicct.org to learn and discuss how these changes can happen in the best way.
Let's meet up!

🔌💡BYD is making EV charging as quick as refueling a gas car.
They unveiled their Super e-Platform with Megawatt flash charging that can charge 400 km (~250 miles) in just 5 minutes.
Their battery can charge at 1000A at a 10C peak rate, which are world records currently.

🔌💡Electric trucks can be 2-3x more expensive than diesel trucks.
So how to make them affordable?
Volvo is trying out a subscription model and R&M Trucking in Chicago became their first customer.
No need for down payments and flexible terms in 12-month increments.
