On @BBCr4today this morning Stellantis' UK Director said the following: "EV sales continue to grow...but not at the level demanded by the government's budget legislation. Remember, we're tasked to achieve 28% this year" This is inaccurate - here's why: https://t.co/V8VEiLyO30

Tony Blair has a new slogan: electrification, electrification, electrification

the steps that both government and industry must take to ensure all drivers have access to easy, reliable and affordable EVs and charging infrastructure. 2/2 Full details below: #ChargeUK #EVcharging #EV

This is a great summary from @thetimes of why we need to remove the requirement for planning permission for EV charger cable gullies. Otherwise millions of households who don't have driveways will find it harder o benefit from the cheap motoring costs of EVs.

Oops! The Times has had to issue an embarrassing correction over supposedly "sluggish" EV sales 😳 ❌ It said EV sales to private buyers fell 10.8% this yr ✅They actually GREW…by 62% Yet Times articles still claim a "big fall", "collapse" & "slide" in private EV sales 🤔 1/7

If you think the “don’t build any clean energy infrastructure” guys are instead going to build the thousands of fracking pads you’d need to make a dent on gas demand, I’ve got a well to sell you. Blackout merchants.

An apparently necessary reminder that the Tory government rightly cancelled a bunch of hydrogen heating trials, mostly because the local residents reacted unfavourably to the prospect of this happening in their kitchens.

Lots of Gov EV announcements in last 24hrs And lots of dodgy reporting The best/worst being this gem from @BBCNews "The average price of a new EV in the UK is nearly double the cost of a typical petrol car at £22,000" Categorically wrong - here's why: https://t.co/MEpwR26ypb

Quick thoughts on this mornings zonal announcement… big question is what’s the plan to get costs down. It’s urgent and families and businesses need costs to fall.

The CCC's progress report to Government published today Worth noting they've said the Gov's weakening of the ZEV mandate - allowing more PHEVs to be sold instead of EVs - is a significant risk (PHEVs burn 350% more fuel than their manufacturers claim) https://t.co/9pNBQgunI8

More people buying electric cars and heat pumps than ever before, but changes to ZEV mandate have gone from a credible plan to significant risk

The car’s out of the bag 🤯 Live at the #EnergyTechSummit, @g__j launches Britain’s first EV vehicle-to-grid bundle with @BYDCompany. Power Pack Bundle gives a car lease, two-way charger, and a smart tariff for £299/m with 100% FREE smart charging - saving £1,000/yr on fuel vs

Electrification is the key to a cost effective clean energy system. Europe’s focus on generation - fuelled by back-end incumbent lobbies - has allowed China a huge lead. Electrifying end use cuts cost & emissions, and paves the way for clean power. https://t.co/0LG6sFO0mW

Chap from Spain explaining how having solar panels is allowing him to continue driving his EV around no problem (There's only so long you can drive a petrol around before you need to fill it up, from a pump that requires electricity to operate)

In the Sunday Times I explain how zonal pricing reduces costs - even without *any* relocation. More details here… (it’s so important on a debate like this to explain the analysis, not just the headline claims) https://t.co/XPx8p2uZ9E https://t.co/4zhh3U3Jcu)

Pleased to see the @guardian correct an article from a couple of months ago, which made some dodgy claims about EV demand falling A short 🧵 on three things they got wrong... https://t.co/pgkOZ333ch

So, the Government made some announcements today about the ZEV Mandate (EV sales targets that manufacturers have to hit) In other words, they're weakening it - and the changes aren't necessarily that great for industry, economic growth, or drivers A 🧵 https://t.co/DNESpP3W3Y
