Handle with care: EV's fragile elegance 🚗💨 Norway, the EV paradise! 🇳🇴 With the highest electric cars per capita, it's our Nordic pride. But reality hit last week as temperatures dipped below -20°C, unveiling the winter challenges our EVs face. The Norwegian Automobile Federation's (NAF) winter tips read like a chilly survival guide: gentle accelerations, regular tyre checks, scheduled winter charging, scenic routes instead of highways, morning preheat rituals, parking indoors, and more. NAF also reveals that electric cars can suffer close to a 20% range loss in winter. Now, speaking of challenges, consider the scorching climates of Kuwait and Iraq where the range loss can exceed 30%! Guidelines to drive an EV in such climates suggest curbing AC and stereo usage, maintaining a consistent speed, embracing energy-saving settings, and lightening the car's load. Selling EVs to the Kuwaitis and the Iraqis? Now, that's an interesting challenge! :) Honestly, I am not up for this (treating my car like some cute, fragile pet is a bit much). It's just not my thing! Looking at the bigger picture, the EV hype is disproportionate given the extent to which passenger cars contribute to man-made climate change. The reality is that IC engine cars are not the elephant in the room. Still, EVs can be nice to have for those up for the adventure, but let's not forget their production footprint is double that of IC engine cars. No offense to my EV friends - several of my friends in Norway do have an EV (I hope they are all fine. :) ), but my heart still beats for the comforting hum of an internal combustion engine, especially diesel, with peace of mind, reliability, proper heating, proper AC, safety, and joy, and there is no need to treat it like a fragile pet. :) With that said, all efforts should be made to improve the performance of passenger cars and reduce their specific CO2 emissions and life cycle emissions. More efficient engines, hybrid cars, better production methods, and circularity can all help achieve this. What's your take on the EV vs. traditional cars debate? Share your thoughts!

We hop in the car to get groceries or drop kids at school. But while the car is convenient, these short trips add up in terms of emissions, pollution and petrol cost. Close to half (44%) of all Australian commuter trips are by car and under 10km. Of Perth’s 4.2 million daily car trips, 2.8 million are for distances of less than 2km. This is common in wealthier countries. In the United States, a staggering 60% of all car trips cover less than 10km. So what’s the best solution? You might think switching to an #ElectricVehicle is the natural step. In fact, for short trips, an #Electric bike or moped might be better for you and for the planet. That’s because these forms of transport collectively known as electric micromobility are cheaper to buy and run. But it’s more than that, they are actually displacing four times as much demand for oil as all the world’s electric cars at present, due to their staggering uptake in China and other nations where mopeds are a common form of transport.

Here is the self- explanatory analysis...
Co-Founder at iCOR | Environmental Consultant | IEMA Training | Associate Lecturer | Sustainability | ISO14001 | Auditing | Hedgehog Fosterer | STEM Ambassador | Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
🚗 Cars: 0.28 kg of CO2 per passenger per kilometre travelled 🚌 Buses: 0.04 kg of CO2 per passenger per kilometre travelled 🚆 Trains: 0.06 kg of CO2 per passenger per kilometre travelled 🚲 Bikes: 0 kg of CO2 per passenger per km travelled. 1. If just 100 people switch from cars to public transit for a 10 km commute, it would save 2,800 kg of CO2 emissions! 2. A single bus trip with 50 passengers can save 1,400 kg of CO2 emissions compared to individual car trips. 3. A train journey with 200 passengers covering a distance of 100 km would save a staggering 12,000 kg of CO2 emissions compared to equivalent car travel. 4. If just 50 people switch from cars to bikes for a 5 km commute each day, it would save 14,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually! ⬆️ Now scale up these numbers for some 7 billion people on the planet.

By the end of the summer, I will have driven 3000 Km in long distance trips across Spain with a 100% #electriccar. Despite I find it unbeatable for the city, in the road it is a different story. The main conclusion I get to is that: 📢 100% EVs are not for everyone (yet). And that is because the trip to EV is a trip to digitalization, and one should feel very comfortable in that world. But also, travelling in an EV is a different way of travelling: 💯You have to lower your speed trying to find a balance between the number of stops and charging time, 🕵️ Charging stations are scattered and less than half of the existing 13k is located in intercity roads (in Spain) but most of those in small cities and thus you need planification ⏱The number of High Speed Charging Stations (150 kW or more) is minimal and 50 kW translates into a couple of hours for a full charge which makes trips longer. 🤷Charging speed is variable, depending on amount of EVs connected to the pole and grid conditions which make predictions difficult 🔜 The limited range of EVs makes everyone start with the vehicle completely charged and this leads to a concentration of the charging demand in the 200-300 km distance to main departure points (big cities). 📴Apps also fail and improvising is time-consuming. Some ideas that come to my mind to tackle this situation: 🎯Installing EV charging points in existing oil stations would be very convenient and should be mandatory if we want a massive adoption of EVs. 🚻Not waiting till the last quarter to recharge, frequent stops for partial charging help avoiding queues. 💤Travelling at night might be an option but charging stations are many times isolated. The cost of #sustainability is still high but I am convinced it is today’s best alternative.
