The article also says that only 21% of electric vehicles are registered new. This means that 4 of 5 registered vehicles are used.

However, it is unclear to me how this is exactly counted. Are those 10683 Tesla Model Y all imported in the last year or does this cover all registrations of all used vehicles?

Similar stories have been shared a week ago.

What I didn’t know is that BYD also was quite early in thr EV industry. Their BYD e6 was released in 2010 and was used as a taxi around the world.

Nice that you added “status=progress” so I can closely follow what is happening.

From german wikipedia, translated:

The Dacia Spring Electric is a battery-electric powered small car from the Romanian car manufacturer Dacia, which has been produced since 2021 in China by Dongfeng in Wuhan.

It appears that the Dacia Spring is now the cheapest new car in germany. Most small cars currently have their base price at approx. 15.000€, and the Dacia Spring is available for 11.900€.

The dacia spring is made in china.

They say that delivery is set for Q1/2026. If this is true, we should see the first tests in the next two or three months.

Interesting to watch! Though it still seems kinda clunky to set this up, maybe with a steam deck or similar console (in case you have one already).

Is there a function to create a booklet or brochure?

This was a very useful feature to print a number of pages and have them in an easy format to read.

However, at least my Ubuntu print driver doesn’t have this feature, and I would need an extra tool to achive this goal.

I was a bit confused by this headline. It means that one in five plugin cars (PHEV and BEV) is from BYD. And one in eight is a Tesla.

My guess, because it works fine for fuel. The result is a number that is easy to read, e.g. 5 or 10 liters per 100 km.

Sure, we could also pick other numbers, but 100 works well.

Right. Basically, I can assume that at at least one thing in the household breaks each year. This year, it was the microwave oven.

One downside i see with this is that it is often unclear how long an item will last. For example, I bought my dishwasher in 2021. When will they need to be replaced? The last one lasted 24 years, but I’m not going to bet on the new one lasting as long.

I think the shift to electric vehicles is driven by a global desire to end the massive financial drain of importing oil from a small group of producing nations.

Apart from the US, this affects almost all big car markets around the globe.

This is merely a teaser, the article claims that the new model will be revealed during the “Brussels Auto show” from January 9 to January 18, 2026.

The segment of larger vans is still not represented very well in the EV world, so I’m looking forward to this announcement.

Phew, it’s only the motherboard that broke, not the RAM.

I think most fears about EVs are about the reduced range in winter, especially when combined with fast travel:

What if I need to drive 800 kilometers over the winter holidays, with subzero temperatures, highway speeds, and a car packed to the brim - all of which severely reduce range?

And sure, this is probably the toughest scenario for EV range calculations.

I did it only once (yet) because i needed a specific addon for the software.

In my case, I wanted to use caddy webserver with a specific plugin. It was quite easy to create a new image exactly the way i wanted it.

That doesn‘t sound stupid though. If you have a battery plant and too few customers in the automotive sectors, its only logical to shift the output for energy grid and datacenter needs.

What should they do otherwise with 20 GWh of batteries?

The Mustang maker added that it would invest $2 billion to scale the new energy storage business, which it said would “leverage currently underutilized electric vehicle battery capacity.” Ford plans to deploy at least 20 gigawatt-hours of energy storage systems by the end of 2027, which is roughly equivalent to the power used by 2,000 US homes for a year.

No, as of this article, because

Ford […] decided to halt production of some EV models
