In 2010, the Nissan Leaf arrived as the world’s first mass-produced EV ordinary buyers could own: a five-seat electric hatchback, no exotic price, no tiny production run. It eventually passed 600,000 global sales. Its real breakthrough was perception. It proved an EV could simply be someone’s car.

Completely on-brand for the man who claims that wind turbines cause cancer. 'Long delays in obtaining federal black lung benefits come as the Trump administration moves to boost the coal industry, just as cases of black lung are surging to a nearly 50-year high.' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My other half has just run a bath, so the heat pump has kicked in and started re-filling the hot water tank. The car is charging at the same time, and most of it is being covered by the sun. We’re pulling only 700w from the grid. Renewables are amazing.

Tesla Autopilot and FSD crashes hit record 207 in a single month
Tesla reported 207 crashes involving its driver-assist systems in a single month — the most it has ever logged. The figure comes from Tesla’s own crash reports to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The record month lands as Tesla pushes Full Self-Driving harder than ever, and as the company continues to redact nearly every detail of what actually happened in these crashes.
