This was always on the cards. You can scream “nobody wants EVs” all day — meanwhile petrol cars sales are in total free-fall across Europe. Nearly -30% YoY down! France -48.9%. Germany -29.9%. Italy -25.5%. Spain -22.5%. Denial isn’t a strategy. Substitution is. #Bettrification #RIPICE
I’ve been talking about this for five years — and looking at my data, it now feels imminent. ICE doesn’t decline smoothly. Its supply chains break first. I’d say: ICE, brace — objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. ⚠️ #Bettrification #EVs #Disruption #RIPICE
I couldn’t resist. After reading a recent CleanTechnica piece on EV subsidies, I had to add a few points of my own. EVs aren’t “better because subsidies exist.” Subsidies just make the advantages impossible to ignore. New post👇 #Bettrification #RIPICE #LFP #RIPICE #RIPOIL #EVS
The battery panic is a fossil-era story told to slow a phase change. What actually happens is cost curves fall, cycle life rises, residuals stabilise, and the secondary market strengthens. This isn’t a tech problem anymore — it’s an incumbency problem. #EV #BEV #Lithium #LFP #RIPICE
Denmark just hit 90.9% BEV in Nov — +33–36pp YoY vs Nov ’24. Trailing-12-months climbed to 84.2% BEV, up ~28–30pp YoY. That makes Denmark the second country to reach this milestone. This isn’t gradual adoption — it’s a late-stage S-curve snap. ICE isn’t declining anymore; it’s exiting. #RipICE #EV
After years of equating noise with power, silence redefines what driving feels like. Once you go electric, peace of mind becomes performance. No petrol stench, no exhaust fumes — just clean motion and calm. Cost savings aside.⚡🚘 #EV #FutureReady #QuietRevolution #RIPICE #EnergyTransition #Disruption
Freedom feels like this — waking up every day with a full “tank,” charged by the sun⚡. No gas stations, no oil changes, no noise — just clean, quiet motion powered by your own rooftop. The road ahead isn’t fuelled by fire anymore — it’s lit by the sun. 🌞 #RipICE #ElectricVehicles #Solar #Freedom #EV
🚗⚡ 25 data-backed reasons why EVs beat ICE cars — cheaper to run, safer, cleaner, smarter & future-proof. The fossil era is fading faster than a Luddite’s gas-soaked dream. V8s are racing toward extinction. The road ahead is electric — embrace it or become a museum relic. 🌍🔋 #BEV #EV #RIPICE
China’s EV charging network surged 53% YoY to 16.7M units. Europe? +35% to just over 1M. US? +20% to under 200k. Tesla? ~65k plugs. Nobody’s even close—this is how seriously China is taking electrification & its energy transition. Keep up or get left behind! 🚗🔌🔋⚡🇨🇳 #EV #EnergyTransition #BEV #RIPICE
In 2019 BEVs were just 0.7% of new cars. By 2025 they hit 15.7%, with BEV+PHEV+HEV = 43%. Even on conservative estimates, BEVs will pass 50% by 2030 to become the #1 powertrain, while ICE crashes to ~15–20%. ⚡ From niche to dominant in a decade. #EV #BEV #Disruption #LFP #RIPICE
Don't forget "SMASH CAR WINDOWS!"
It's one of their favorite tactics.
I'm looking forward to when video is released of a hammer falling on the window of a door that is already opening.
Or a hammer bouncing off a Perspex window. You can get those at specialty auto shops.

Europe is crushing ICE under the weight of progress.
📈 BEVs: +22.0%
🔌 PHEVs: +19.5%
💥 Petrol: –21.2%
🪦 Diesel: –28.1%
Legacy automakers clinging to Stone Age combustion are getting steamrolled. This isn’t a shift—it’s an exponential, free-market reckoning. Adapt or vanish. #EVs #Disruption #RIPICE
The IEA chart says it all: as Chinese EV imports rise, prices fall—fast. Thailand and Australia have now hit battery electric vehicle (BEV) price parity with internal combustion engine (ICE) cars. That milestone was once thought to be years away—until China’s EV juggernaut rewrote the timeline. Brands like BYD, MG, GWM, and Zeekr are flooding international markets with affordable, well-specced EVs. In Australia, the MG4 and BYD Dolphin now undercut popular ICE hatchbacks like the Corolla and i30—not just on price, but on running costs, tech, and driving experience. Price parity is no longer a future scenario. It’s here. In Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia, the price gap is closing rapidly. These are not niche rollouts—these are mainstream, mass-market plays. And with every container ship arriving packed with Chinese EVs, local sticker prices continue to fall. This is what disruption looks like: a full-frontal price war spilling out from China into the rest of the world. It’s not just about cheap cars—it’s about volume, vertical integration, and a government-backed industrial strategy aimed at global dominance. For consumers, this is a win. For legacy automakers, it’s an existential threat. The old guard—GM, Toyota, VW—are finding themselves outpriced, outpaced, and out-innovated. They’re still talking about 2026, while China is already delivering the future—now. The writing’s on the wall. Legacy automakers? They’re on the chopping block.

Norway offers a snapshot of the near future. EVs now make up nearly 97.4% of new car sales—on track to hit 100% by the end of 2025. Less than a decade from now, the rest of the world will follow. What feels radical today will soon be boringly obvious.⚡🇳🇴 #EVFuture #Norway #RipOIL #RipICE #EVs
Global EV sales hit 4.1M in Q1 2025—up 29% YoY. BEVs led: +58% vs PHEVs +35%. China BEVs +46%, PHEVs +22%. Europe: BEVs +29%, PHEVs flat. US BEVs up 28%. 2025 is the BEV correction year globally. Tariffs, FUD, misinformation or not—we’re on track to smash 20M NEVs. #EV #BEV #NEV #Disruption #RIPICE
I’m so sad to wake up to the news that #ValKilmer has moved on, he was one of my favourite actors with that beautiful voice. The doc film he made about his life, Val, was a beautiful window into his soul and journey, may he forever rest in peace. #RIPIce 😞
Trying to save the ICE car is like flogging a dead horse—it’s not going anywhere. The EV revolution is here, and clinging to outdated technology only delays the inevitable. Embrace the future and say goodbye to your inner Luddite. ⚡🚗 #EVRevolution #ICEObsolete #RIPICE #EV #Lithium #LFP #LFMP

Toyota's $13.9B battery investment in NC is big, but is it too late? With Tesla & Chinese EV makers miles ahead, Toyota's reliance on hybrids puts them ~10 yrs behind. A 2026 EV pivot may be too little, too late. Disruption rewards speed, not caution. Timing is everything.

My updated list highlights 38 countries and regions that have announced legal targets to phase out internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Together, these entities represent a combined population of approximately 1.59 billion people, all committed to transitioning to cleaner, zero-emission transport. While the European Union's collective legislation might face challenges, individual member states and regions, such as the Brussels-Capital Region, are taking independent actions to meet or exceed these targets. Beyond Europe, other nations like China continue to lead the way, aiming for full electrification of new vehicle sales by 2030. This list underscores the growing momentum of the clean transport revolution, driven by bold policies and ambitious goals to tackle climate change and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles.
Policies & ICE bans matter. 🌍The EU might falter, but many countries & regions push ahead regardless. 🚗💨 Total population: 1.59B in 38 nations/regions with legal ICE phase-out targets. China will hit 100% by 2030 regardless. The clean transport revolution is unstoppable! 💚⚡ #EVs #ICEBan #RIPICE #BEV
