Kevin dropping truth bombs "In a world where people feel so financially squeezed (especially in 🇺🇸), something that could do what the Seagull does would be a godsend to so many people Probably including myself, honestly. Things look as if they're going to get tough for a lot of people, very quickly"

"The Seagull puts EV tech within reach of the average person," writes @gaytonausa.bsky.social after driving China's best-selling EV. This is why it's a hit: it's cheap, but also good. Meanwhile, our automakers have largely given up on the "cheap" part. And that's why BYD has them spooked.

The BYD Seagull is an $8,000 EV, and is China's best-selling car. And after driving one in China, I understand just why it freaks automakers (and the US government) out, because it proves just how accessible China's EV market is for the average person. insideevs.com/features/761...

China OEM #horserace, pay special attention to BYD & Geely ! #alwaysbecharging ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 Source: #CAM "BYD increased its market share from 2.1 to 16.2 percent from 2019 to 2024" www.linkedin.com/posts/stefan...

One espresso☕️☕️ or 15kWh⚡️⚡️ #youdothemath welcome to Ticino 🇨🇭 #alwaysbecharging

Mooie mijlpaal: Nederland is door de grens van 1 miljoen ‘stekkerauto’s’, ruime meerderheid volledig elektrisch, aldus @cbsstatistiek.bsky.social

Stefan Bratzel: "China's BEV / PHEV Market Trends: A 2-Year Trajectory of Growth" "share of new BEV registrations has risen from 22.8% in Apr '23 to 33.3% in Mar '25 – marking a substantial increase of 46.1% & underlining China's continued push toward fully electric" ⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging #china

Today: "The Deutschland BEV tax" 🇩🇪🇩🇪 when you charge at #Electra in France (300+ stations) you pay the same in-app, compared to credit cards when you go to NL: +5 cents (+8%) Then, you go to #Deutschland, and the German BEV tax is applied: +10 cents (+17%) ⚡️⚡️ #fastcharging

About these BYD Group overseas sales! I guess #Denza confirmed for Europe 😅 Spotted at Elandsgracht, Amsterdam 🇳🇱when I was heading for an espresso with my dad ☕️ #amsterdamelektrisch

Chinese battery glut plugs into solar boom to power Pakistan – FT: ‘The combination of a glut of lithium, a key battery material, and overcapacity of lower-tier China-made batteries has created a flood of cut-price battery energy storage systems for lower-income countries such as Pakistan.’

Mind-bending reality: PHEVs are destroying your wallet! "In 2024, the average price of a 20 kWh PHEV battery pack—roughly the global sales-weighted average for standard plug-in hybrids—was about the same as a 65 kWh BEV battery pack." 🔋🔋🔋 #alwaysbecharging #battchat by @patrickgeorge.bsky.social

Kyle Chan: "Chinese automakers are building massive shipping fleets to export EVs around the world, following in the footsteps of Japan and South Korea. Here’s BYD’s fleet so far." From Christopher Chico’s Battery Chronicles newsletter: christopherchico.substack.com/p/byd-is-dep...

Much less decline in Norway. I wonder whether this is because they haven't been a status symbol here for years. Given incentives, the Y is a decent family car at a decent price. People don't buy them because they think Musk and Tesla are amazing. They're an average (new) car here.

May run rate has BYD topping one million overseas sales 🚨🚨 #virtual #NEV #alwaysbecharging the full virtual million include a homemade battery... 🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋 #battchat

@jczuleta.bsky.social: "Amazing. Indonesia is the country that is transitioning to BEVs the fastest in the world." #alwaysbecharging

ADAC study: 🇩🇪🇩🇪 which #BEV is the cheapest per km ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging

Will EVs ever succeed in Japan? "EV sales in Japan have also been abysmal at less than 60,000 units or just over 1% of the market in 2024, according to official data." 🌩️🌩️🌩️ #alwaysbecharging #keicars #japan www.ft.com/content/42cf...

hjesanderson: ✍️ "After 2020, BYD’s growth accelerated. By 2021, BYD had produced over 1 million vehicles. It had taken 13 years. It then took just a year to get to 2 million cars Then half a year to get to 3 million, and then just 5 months to get to 4M" #LFP voltrush.substack.com/p/the-batter...

Amsterdam is electric ⚡️ #alwaysbecharging

I think May 2025 will go down in history as the first time ever Spain bought more BEVs than The Netherlands the number one (in Spain) might surprise you (or it might not!!) ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #alwaysbecharging 🇪🇸🇳🇱

Kyle Chan: “The automotive/EV and electronics industries are not just important for making cars and smartphones. They are key drivers of robotics development and industrial automation, accounting for around 50% of industrial robot installations annually.”

If Big Oil 🇪🇸 starts to run ads like these perhaps we still have a chance? 🦖 #alwaysbecharging ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #dinojuice x.com/AlexDrElectr...
