But, uh, folks...don't take this as a fait accompli. VOTE!

Can I please have my annual EV registration tax suspended too? It's only fair.

I have a friend who attributes getting a job at McDonald's corporate to showing up with a McCafe coffee when the other candidate showed up with a Starbucks coffee. But I suspect that's very much an edge case...

American civil courts don't record the race, language, disability, or income of anyone who appears before them. A court that keeps no racial record hasn't stopped producing racial outcomes. It's stopped producing evidence of them. New Without Counsel out today.

The Color of Unrepresentation
Courts process millions of people a year and write down almost nothing about who they are. The gap in the record is not an oversight.

I've been seeing Cybercabs out and about in Atlanta...but notably they've all had steering wheels and safety drivers. Hoping that any media reporting on this event are wary of Musk's Potemkin Village.

For some reason, I really dig that design. Maybe you shouldn't kid? Now: how many engines does this have, in what configuration, and where are they located? Or is it like the Blazer EV where you can choose FWD or RWD, in this case front-mounted V8 vs rear-mounted flat-6?

Also Atlanta. Saw one (I’m assuming it was the same one) twice on one day earlier this week.

The incentive to cut usage would lie with the *utility*, not the end customer. They save on usage, they make more margin. If you want to make it more compelling set it up so the flat fee declines over time.

Yes. My humble proposal: if you can't vote for the candidate, you can't donate to their campaign. That means: no corporate donors, no out-of-state interests.

This is quite the soap opera that unfolded in a series of obscure regulatory proceedings across the Biden and Trump administrations. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Trump may have created an accidental EV mandate
Automakers are concerned that a little-noticed regulatory tweak could eventually force them to quadruple their electric vehicle production.

Interesting. Someone recently asked me what I think about ebikes when they found out I’m a cyclist. I think they thought I’d be down on them. But I love ebikes! They’re great transportation, and anything that gets more people on bikes is a win in my book.

Just returned from a week in Norway, where they’re electrifying every transport sector (LDV, HDV, construction, marine, aviation). Put aside climate, put aside economics. Electric is just *better*. Quieter, smoother, no fumes. Much more pleasant to walk around the city or cruise the fjords!

Hot off the presses, #EV market share in April in Norway was 98.5%. They sold one (yes, one) gas car in the entire month!

In Norway for a series of ostensibly EV-related meetings. At a factory visit yesterday, turns out they’re also making artillery shells for the Ukrainian army. At least in the US, we treat the Ukraine war as some sort of far-away abstract thing. Yesterday’s visit was a sober reminder that it is not.

My wife is a middle school math teacher. One of her classes is learning percentages right now. She’s absolutely using this as a learning moment for her kids. And maybe an example of how kids are smarter than a lot of adults.

Really looking forward to getting driving impressions as well. I like design - much more cohesive and reflective of the BMW design philosophy than anything since the E90 - and hoping driving hearkens back to BMW's heyday as well.

That's a pretty big drop in sales. Nearly half. Lotta underutilized factory capacity out there. Full story here: www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

What are the consequences for energy markets and the transition of a potential long disruption to the Strait of Hormuz? TLDR: It’s a *lot* easier to replace 20% of LNG (15% of natgas supply) with wind and solar than it is to replace 20% of oil with EVs. mliebreich.substack.com/p/thoughts-o...

Thoughts on the Strait of Hormuz crisis
The Strait of Hormuz is becoming the key test of strength between the US and Iran. I've been thinking about what happens if they stay closed for an extended period. My conclusions might surprise you.

That's why I'm on my sixth #EV. I don't drive all that much, though, so they last a good long time before I have to throw them out.

You say you want to fix government budgets? Great! Immigration is part of the fix, with immigrants contributing more than they get.

You say you want criminals off the streets? Great! Time to dismantle ICE and CBP and prosecute all of the agents who committed crimes on or off duty.

Online commenters are scapegoating homeless people for yesterday's shooting at Decatur library. Many rely on our that library for services & daytime shelter. This FBI graph shows 10 yr violent crime in Decatur. Visible homelessness is surging in Decatur. Crime is not. They need help, not blame.

ICE (and, more broadly, DHS) cannot be “reformed”. It’s rotten to the core and has been for decades. Both Rs and Ds are complicit in this. The only path forward is abolishing ICE. Create an administrative agency w/o police powers to handle immigration matters.

OMG, this!!! Caught up to a guy who close passed me recently just as he exhaled. Told him he nearly hit me, and he (high as hell) replied "oh, I'm sorry, man...I didn't even see you." I was wearing high viz yellow & had lights.

Related, I recently heard from the Georgia Port Authority that volumes are significantly down. Not consistent with a high-growth environment.
