7 Jan 2019

7th January 2019 EV's in Denmark going at a snail's pace.

Monday 7th 41F, mild and dark grey. There were brief spots of blue between the dark grey clouds but the dark grey clouds won. I stepped onto the verge to let a massive container lorry go past without having to drive around me. Thinking the danger was over I stepped back onto the road. Only to be sprayed from head to foot several seconds after the passing of the lorry. Fortunately I was near enough to home to be able to rinse my stinging eyes and face within a few minutes.

The neighbour's lawn has got away from him again.

Some relevant snippets from the news: HALF of ALL cars sold in Norway this year [2019] will be electric. Based on the past few years, in Denmark, only [about] 221,000/5000 or 1/44th, will be electric vehicles. Denmark is right at the bottom of European EV sales, by a wide margin, due massive import charges. Presently 85% below + 150% over a set price.

Despite its market being publicly executed in Denmark, Tesla is building a car making factory in Shanghai. This to take advantage of strong local and global demand by reducing transport costs and local import charges for the Asian market. They still do not receive the heavy government subsidies available to local car making and other Chinese companies.

The US government heavily subsidized its backward looking, car manufacturers for years since the Deliberate Bank Crash. Only for them to close factories as sales for 1960s gas guzzlers collapse and pressure from Tesla <cough> "fuels" demand for modern EVs increases. i.e. Electric Vehicles with class leading safety. Plus a performance which crushes tuned "muscle" cars on real drag strips. Only wimps drive muscle cars these days. They are so yesterday. So comparatively undernourished and expensive to run. Clint Eastwood had real hair when muscle cars were fashionable.

There is more invested in Tesla failing than in its continuing growth. Yet Tesla sold more cars by value and quantity then any other manufacturer. There is also a massive negativity campaign being waged against Tesla by fossil fuel interests amongst the tax-free 1%. Which owns much of the fossil fuel, media and most of the world's politicians.

Their sock puppet, German immigrant, Herr Chancellor Chump is aiding and abetting the trend towards mass producing more coal-fired, steam traction engines at US taxpayer's expense. Fred Dibnah would certainly have approved! 😊 A born-again Victorian, he lived a century beyond his allotted time. Fred didn't worry about this year's 3% increase in CO2 by the US.

The US: The only major land mass not to sign up to averting climate change. Because German immigrant, Herr Chancellor Chump doesn't believe in anything. Except for "greed works" for those with the [mining] village [idiot] mentality, like himself.
