EVs are now displacing demand for 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, though 80% of that is 2 and 3-wheel vehicles, not cars. (about.bnef.com)

Amazed to see scooters and 3 wheel vehicles make such a difference. Bad news for the petro-states. At the rate this is growing - how soon until 3-4 million barrels a day?

So bloody expensive though. Hopefully solid state will bring a price reduction.

We absolutely love our EV.

Quiet, instant acceleration, never having to go to a gas station... it's fantastic.
