The @theguardian.com correctly identifies that speeding up transition to electric vehicles is only option for UK automotive industry survival
China is dominant because it has better technology. They're not going to stand still to let western carmakers catch up

Any car, even electric cars, aren’t the best. Public transit needs better funding
IMPORTANT: This ranks a bunch of ways we get around cities, using average carbon emissions by transport type in grams per pkm. It breaks emissions down by operation, manufacture etc.
Feet and bikes win. Lots of ways beat electric cars, and everything beats gas cars.

Asia & South America are the new epicenters of growth. China leads global expansion with a booming middle class, cutting-edge tech, EVs, robotics, renewables & a thriving digital economy. South America rises on resource wealth, trade ties & infrastructure. The future is undeniably China-powered. #EV

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal.

TO BE CLEAR, despite the many complexities, problems & grey areas that make electric vehicles MUCH more complicated than the “silver bullets” many claim them to be, I DO support the rapid replacement of ICE vehicles with EVs.
It will take longer and be more complicated than boosters think.

It's clear that electric vehicles are the direction of travel for the automotive industry for their running cost, emissions, driver experience and other advantages
So it remains staggering just how far ahead China is of any other country or region in the world

Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars can’t be the future of urban mobility.
Fewer cars.
Less driving.
More inviting mobility choices.
Better communities and cities.
These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.

Around this time last year, headlines suggested a possible slowdown in the demand for electric vehicles (EVs).
However, despite some indications of a moderating pace, EV sales are still set to reach record levels in 2024.

Powerful Owl asleep over a creek* in suburban Brisbane this morning. It briefly perked up when a White-bellied Sea-eagle flew over being noisily mobbed and chased by miscellaneous small birds.
* I briefly slipped into the creek while photographing. Birder world problems.
