97. The Elon Musk of India is Killing Gas Consumption

The Clean Energy Show

How the 'Elon Musk' of India is changing the world by offering millions of low cost two-wheel EVs to displace gas. British Petroleum says it can make money charging your EV at its gas stations. Do PHEVs pollute more than claimed? Plus, wind is really, seriously, taking off at this very moment.

Chevrolet will give you a window film sticker once they have replaced your fire-prone car battery. It has a QR code so parking lot attendants can scan it and confirm the battery is fixed.

James takes a deep dive into Ola Scooters, the 1000$ family transport scooter, made in India at a megafactory. 115k max speed, 180 km range. Almost half of registered vehicles in India are two-wheelers. Bhavish Aggarwal, CEO of Ola, has a mission for the planet and it's bold!

BP says their EV chargers are soon to be more profitable than gas pumps.

Tesla has a software fix for their heat pump problems in cold weather, but it’s not clear yet if a hardware fix is needed for some or all cars. Temp dropping tonight so perhaps we will find out.

A new study….on fuel consumption by plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) found little in the way of benefits.

“These vehicles do not permit any environmental improvement,” energy engineer Marc Muller, one of the authors of the study, told RTS radio. “It’s a climate target con, and it’s a consumer con.”

New York State finalizes the terms under which Equinor and BP will provide generation capacity of 1,260 megawatts (MW) of renewable offshore wind power from Empire Wind 2, and another 1,230 MW of power from Beacon Wind 1, while making substantial investments in New York’s infrastructure.

The projects include port upgrades to transform South Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a major staging and assembly facility for the industry, as well as an operations and maintenance base for the projects. Equinor recently announced the opening of a New York project office located in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, opposite the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal. The partnership will also invest in the Port of Albany, making it America’s first offshore wind tower and transition piece manufacturing facility.
