There will be battery manufacturing in Europe, including jobs, investment and all the good things that go with that. Most of the batteries will be made by incumbent manufacturers. That's ok. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The results from BloombergNEF's 2024 lithium-ion battery price survey are out. Lithium-ion battery pack prices dropped 20% from 2023 to a record low of $115 per kilowatt-hour. This is the largest decline observed in our survey since 2017. 🧵⬇️

The annual BloombergNEF battery survey is out. Quick hits: pack prices now $115 per kWh (and below $100 for cars in China) Almost 2/3 of China's EV models are priced lower than their internal combustion equivalents Great work @colinmckerracher.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Fascinating. Secondary literature (and presumably press reporting and social media) have been over-estimating the contribution of tyre wear to air pollution. Good news (though all that tyre rubber must still end up somewhere in the environment). pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Who is winning and losing in China's quickly electrifying vehicle market? VW, Honda, Nissan all in real trouble. Toyota holding for now but watch next year. Great piece from the Bloomberg News team www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Norway's road transport energy use is now highlighting a really important effect: primary energy consumption falling even while people travel more. Why? Because electrification is energy efficiency. Chart by @robbieandrew.bsky.social

Use of shared bikes and scooters is still trending upwards in the US. A big thank you to everyone out there working on making streets safer for these types of options.

Another way to think of this: If the global fleet of passenger fuel cell vehicles were to double every three years (which is not happening) from now to 2040, they would hit....0.3%of the global fleet.

I hereby declare the latest round of hype for hydrogen fuel cell passenger vehicles over. I'm sure this will come up again around ~2030. With similar results.
