Great to see Seba & RethinkX hold firm in the updated Clean Disruption—all new vehicle sales will be EVs by 2030. This remains the only thesis that aligns with my own projections. Battery costs, tech convergence, and autonomy are rewriting the rules. S-Curves are brutal!⚡🚗 #EV #Disruption #RethinkX

Love to see a new tiny #EV. The mibot is ¥1 million, or about $7,000, seats one, and has enough power for local roads in #Japan. Half the price of the Nissan Sakura, a #keiCar, and it looks like it’s half the size, too. A scooter with heating, air conditioning, audio, and a little cargo space? Yes, please.

MotorTrend · A New EV for Less Than $8,000? In This Economy?!Slate isn’t the only newcomer thinking inside the box for its cheap EV. KG Motors' new Mibot is taking cheap very seriously.

Anyone with experience on here driving an #EV around the French Alps? Problems finding chargers? ABRP looks like it's a bit thin on the ground for fast chargers? Maybe ok for trickle charge? Trying to work out if I dare rent an EV or should l stick to ICE for now (which I really don't like..). #askFedi

EDIT: update - thanks all for your helpful info, looks like it's easily possible even in the french Alps. Looking forward to my summer holidays!

The article says:

Tesla is the worst-performing large-cap stock this year, thanks to declining electric vehicle demand, Chief Executive Elon Musk's political controversies over his ties to far-right groups, and now, his public feud with President Donald Trump.

Declining electric vehicle demand? That's factually wrong:

Electric vehicle sales are soaring for manufacturers whose name doesn't start with 'T' and end with 'esla'.

Rho MotionGlobal EV Sales Up 29% First Third of 2025Rho Motion, the leading EV research house, today revealed that the number of electric vehicles sold globally in April 2025 was 1.5 million, with 5.6 million sold year-to-date. The EV market grew by 29% in April 2025 compared to April 2024, and decreased by 12% compared to March 2025. Global EV sales continue to grow … Continued

#Musk and #Trump have ended their perceived alliance, trading personal barbs and financial blows - 15% and 11% stock drops. The feud started over a budget bill that cut #EV subsidies and turned bitter.

Now there’s talk that maybe even a #fascist like #Vance could be better than chaotic #Trump, though that’s just speculation. Their fight has weakened them politically and financially, with no clear winner.
