In 2000, at a trade fair in Germany, an obscure Singapore company called Trek 2000 unveiled a solid-state memory chip encased in plastic and attached to a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector. Computer users badly needed a cheap, high-capacity, reliable, portable storage device. The thumb drive was all that—and more.

BYD received this lofty sum in direct government subsidies as part of the Chinese government’s push to lead the world in EVs and other clean tech, according to a new study first reported by Bloomberg. Germany’s Kiel Institute for the World Economy reported that BYD received €220 million in 2020 to €2.1 billion only two years later.

Meanwhile, over at Germany’s BMW they made a handful of EV Minis just for show and not for dough in a cynical and dumbass move to game the California CARB regulators who once again seem to be all too anxious to assume the BOHICA position on behalf of car makers.

More remarkable, back in Europe in countries like France and Germany the Dacia Spring could be cheaper still, tipped to come close to matching its original 2021 launch price of just €16,800 ($A27,700).

Gas turbines are fairly flexible to switch on and off as wind varies, they’re relatively cheap, highly efficient and much lower in emissions than wood, coal or oil. The excuse is that trees regrow, so it’s ‘renewable’, which makes zero sense then you think it through (trees take decades to grow – and then we cut them down again anyway). .

And unlike heat pumps, which are relatively complex pieces of machinery costing thousands of dollars and requiring skilled contractors to install, electric space heaters are simple, cheap, and easy to use. Could enough space heaters be produced in the limited time available before next winter?

I’d never driven an EV in Germany before. Its 82 kWh battery is rated for 655 km on the very generous WLTP cycle, and it is one of the longest-range EVs on sale in Germany today. But using 250 kW Tesla Superchargers here in Germany, I did see the Polestar 2 draw 205 kW of charge input — once, briefly.

EVs ain’t cheap Price is another EV purchase risk that is comparable to EV range. Even in the Chinese market where smaller EV sales are booming, profits are not. And TCO rapidly loses it selling point appeal if electricity prices go up, however, as is happening in the UK and in Germany.

For example, with increasing evidence of genocidal Chinese government towards Uyghur residents, including forced labor camps, the lack of transparency regarding whether any Chinese EVs benefit from such labor prompts me to deduct 1 production point from China (out of ~25 it had earned). Globally ~14k Ioniq BEVs were sold.
