We just had a friend from Tallahassee - now an expat - staying with us the last couple of days. Always great to see people from home.

I have not. I just learned it was something you can eat a few years ago when I was doing a deep dive on the fruit. Haven't seen it on a menu. Even outside of the US -- I've been travelling for almost a year -- prickly pear is everywhere, but no one seems to eat it.

Few things have slowed climate action more than complexity bias: trusting the sophisticated-sounding solution over the simple one that works. "The IEA's baseline scenario has SMRs hitting 40 GW by 2050... The US installed that much solar last year. SMRs get there in 2050." youtu.be/zrNa9k6sSlg

Ah, fair. I wouldn't be inclined to roadtrip the Leaf without spending some time with Plugshare, checking comments at the sites I'd want to use. Plus, there are a good number Chademo sites now, but there'll be fewer as time goes on. For local use, though, that's an amazing deal.

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I just re-read this and a 2025 Leaf is an easy win over a 2018 e-Golf. Lots of warranty left, for one. Parts availability is way better as well. Both have air-cooled bateries, the Leaf has better range. I hadn't realized Leaf values had plunged this hard, so thanks for mentioning this.

I'm going to try to put together a new episode of Battery Bargains for Wednesday and I'll add this. I may reach out with a question or two. (right now I'm head-down putting together tomorrow's Batteries Included show.)

Governments should have a regulatory framework and testing systems to ensure privacy and safety from outside interference for all auto brands.

Pre-orders begin early in 2027, with deliveries a little later. It may be sold as a 2028 model. The batteries are coming from Ford's Marshall plant, which they recently finished building, using an LFP cell licensed from CATL. This prep takes billions of dollars and years to set up. It's happening.

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The electric Silverado is a better driving experience and cheaper to run as well. But, there's been a price gap between EV and combustion, of course. Still, it continues to shrink. The new compact Ford Fathom, which proves you can build a small electric truck, starts very close to the Ford Maverick.

100

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The Chevy Silverado is a good example of how you can cram a huge battery (over 200 kWh) into a truck and get big range. That's helpful for towing. Compact/mid-size don't tow as much, so 300 miles from a 100 kWh should be plenty adequate. Nine-minute-to-full charging is the pièce de résistance.

100

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

A 100kWh should get you close to 500 km. If BYD gets aggressive with installing its Flash charging network, that would make life pretty easy.

010

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Mako's a good name, so keep it for the PHEV. I just want to see an all-electric version of the Shark and I think if BYD went with Baby Shark and bought the rights to the song to use in commercials, there's a (good) chance it could go pretty viral.

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I mean, I'm joking but I'm not really joking. A compact-to-mid-size pickup with a 100 kWh, Flash charging Blade 2.0 battery would rock. The name would guarantee EVERYONE would hear about it. 💰💰💰

Domenick @domenick-ev.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

BYD needs to make a compact, all-electric version of its plug-in hybrid pickup truck, the Shark. And call it Baby Shark (do do do do do do). 😃

This is amazing. As someone who never appreciated this art form until I started working with an opera singer to help my own voice, this announcement brought literal tears to my eyes.

Geely, which owns a number of brands, including Volvo, sees a future where your EV fills in 4 minutes and you don't need to get out of the car to plug it in (or pay, of course). Tune in Friday for the whole story.
