Credit to Author: Jennifer Sensiba| Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2025 13:16:55 +0000

If you’ve been following me for a while, you might know that I’m not the biggest fan of China’s government.

Credit to Author: Juan Diego Celemín Mojica| Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2025 16:22:42 +0000

A few months ago, I wrote about a global peak ICEV fleet, and argued that we’re very close to it — perhaps even surpassed it by now. Despite the headline, I stand by that position, and that’s because the focus here is different: not about internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV), … [continued]
