    Bonjour form France. We have also just passed the 1 million BEVs on the road. Solar installations have also gone crazy with 3.7 Gw being installed in 2023, a third of that was by homes and businesses for self-consumption. This may explain why the demands on the French grid have not risen, despite another 600,000 home heat pumps and all the EVs we have here now.

    I am an owner of two new electric vehicles. I used to have two Audi 3.0D, which I loved. Initially, it was a bit strange transitioning to electric cars, but now it is much easier, and I have not faced any issues. I just needed to adjust my charging routine by letting them run down and then charging them at home or work. The fuel cost savings are brilliant. Although purchasing two cars at once was a bit extravagant, I am now used to it, and it has been great for me and my family. However, it may not be ideal for everyone. I been using a new GLE 450 for a few weeks, and it was excellent, but at 25p to 30p per mile, I do not miss the expense. On the other hand, electric cars are costing me 6.15p per mile for the ID3 or 12.2p per mile for the E-Tron, even during the day.

      In Australia, every time cheaper batteries go on to the market (which isn’t that often) the feed in tariff goes up as does the connection fee. This changes the economics just enough to make battery update stall again. After a bit of arguing I got 20% off my consumption charge and a similar amount off my connection fee. It would take 17.8 years for me to break even on a 10Kwh home battery, if I fully discharged it every day. We both know the batteries need to be cheaper and last about twice as long as they currently do

      I see at least ten teslas everyday. I've seen at least one lucid, a few hybrids and I'm sure I've missed other brands that I'm just not familiar with their look.
      The last 6 months have seen what looks like an explosion of EVs to me. And I drive very local.

    As for Ford's EV sales, I've seen a few videos of many Lightnings and Mach-Es sitting on dealer lots for extended periods. Maybe Ford is being _creative_ with their sales figures?

    It’s called ‘near-shoring’ when they manufacture in Mexico. The Gordie Howe bridge is being completed in Windsor ON for Q4 2025, means near-shoring can take place once again in Canada, after GM had their plants torn down after their bankruptcy years ago. The previous bridge was built in the 1920’s.
    There are also two very large distilleries in Windsor, ON.

    Hi great video as always. As a newly retiree I am able to spend more time in places I love. At the moment Italy for six weeks. I have family in Italy, 19 cousins live here. Italy have the poorest (awful at times) air quality in Europe. We have experienced 2 full days of very poor air quality. I was socked. The days had a constant smog that was not blown away by the wind, only rain filtered it. Then what contaminated water?
    I drive electric, Italy have in the main a good spread of chargers, we have not had any issues of a low charge. Whilst areas of Italy are trying to promote electric cars, to park in cities is free, you able to drive in restricted areas (you may have to register). But very few, sorry did I say very, very few fully electric cars are on the road. We have seen mainly Tesla’s, though less than ten in the 3 weeks we have been here. I drive a IONIQ 5, I’m sure I’m the only one here.
    Heat pumps though have grown exponentially within the last year bringing them to seventh in the European area, including Scandinavian countries. The motivation is the installation cost is covered to 110%, yes 110%! The extra 10% is taken off their tax payments for the 3 years after installation.
    Have a look at a weather app on air quality, there will be times all of Italy have very poor air. I was shocked the first time I saw this.
    Could Italy be a prime venue for an everything electric show?

    We produced so much excess energy in the first 3 months, It made sense to trade in our 2 year old petrol car for a new Citroen EV.
    So far this month our fuel cost is ZERO, saving us around 150€.
    It is still early days for the technology but it is good to be part ofbthe future, rather than living in the past.

After installation of my solar panels, my power bills have turned into credits, and I now get free electricity and make around $110 AUD per month tax free on the excess electricity I export to the grid - a whopping 25% Return on Investment (ROI).
