"My last post was pretty dark and dire, so here’s something a little more
cheerful and optimistic. One of the most important and positive trends that
I’ve been trying to highlight over the past few years is the amazing progress
in battery technology. Huge increases in energy density and even bigger
declines in manufacturing costs have made batteries competitive with combustion
engines for a large variety of applications. The most important of these is
transportation.
At the beginning of this year, the big story about electric vehicles was that
sales were slowing down. Detractors of EVs — and there are a lot of them out
there — declared that EVs are a flash in the pan, that interest is already
waning, that the problems of EVs would prevent them from ever displacing
internal combustion cars, that EVs will never be viable without subsidies, and
so on. Essentially, the story was that the EV revolution was over, or at least
stalled indefinitely.
That narrative has now essentially collapsed. EV sales reaccelerated in the
U.S. after just a couple of months, and their market share has hit a new record
high"
