EVs beat gas cars on convenience
EVs beat gas cars on maintenance
EVs beat gas cars on acceleration
EVs beat gas cars on noise
EVs will beat gas cars on price soon
We don’t need moral scolding or massive subsidies anymore — EVs are simply a superior product on most dimensions.

Good morning with good news: Skyrocketing wind & solar are now generating more electricity than gas in UK.
W&S generated 54 TWh, compared to 40 TWh for gas, from January to July 2024!
UK has also nearly ended coal. In the UK, first coal; now gas!

This week the UK reached 30GW of combined offshore and onshore wind energy, and we're talking turbines! 🌬
It took 26 years to install the first 15GW of wind energy in the UK, and we've managed to double that to 30GW in just seven years, all thanks to turbines improving significantly, both in terms of generative power and efficiency.
📈 For the first 15.1GW of wind, prior to March 2017, 8,347 turbines were required. However, from 15.1GW to 30GW in 2024, it only took 3,495 turbines - less than half!😲

Oooft, so the UK govt has published all the documents behind the "new gas" PR blast and there is a total of 1,216 pages
1x press release
2x consultation docs
9x research papers
I've collected all the links here:

The @IEA just published two fascinating reports
Here are some of the best charts
1/
Clean energy is growing twice as fast as fossil fuels
Storelectric retweeted
5/
Clean energy deployment over the past 5yrs avoided 2.2bn tonnes of CO2
Without clean energy deployment, the increase in CO2 emissions in 2023 would have been 3x larger (!)

EVs are facing a tidal wave of misinformation
Citing PM Rishi Sunak's net-zero speech, a new Lords report says UK govt has "emphasised costs while failing to stress benefits and robustly counter misinfo" 🤔
Maybe Rishi shld read our mythbuster?
