E.V.s may seem to be a logical solution to transportation given the World's recent declaration at COP 28. Before we jump in, HALT! Consider: Pros: 1. EV runs on electricity - potentially less carbon dioxide emission, depend on source of electricity. - less air pollution 2. EV are quiet - less noise pollution Cons: 1. EV (esp. cars) contributes to CO2 in atmosphere via supply chain. 2. Batteries degrade less than 10 years, not widely recycled. Old batteries end in landfills, break down, poisons the land. 3. Extraction of 'rare earths' for battery and metals for body by clearing vast tracts of forests. 4. Deforestation releases tons of CO2 trapped in the biomass. 5. Destroys Ecosystem, leading to Mass Extinction of species, many yet unknown, leading to loss of priceless bio heritage from the millions of years of evolution. 5. Loss of Biodiversity - leads to loss of ecosystem services (air, water, food, medicine, etc) ...This list goes on. What about the millions of existing cars and trucks in the World today? MASS EV is NOT Sustainable. Alternatives: Relook transportation needs and provide sustainable solutions: >reduce the romance with cars, >reduce urban sprawl - build better cities/settlements that are within 10min by walk/cycle/bus/train >Go back to basics: >Change consumption habits >Travel on a per need basis, >FLY less, take less holidays (eg 1 short trip a year, 1 medium trip in 3, 1 long haul trip in 5, 1 major trip in 10 etc) and >provide more efficient MASS Transport Future generations, Nature will thank you. PLanet, PEople over profit.

"350 million electric vehicles could be on the road by 2030. Can chargers keep up?" 🌍⚡️ Equipped with an experienced team and the latest, cutting-edge technology, Chargerly is preparing to become an undeniable player in the upcoming EV revolution. This talk by Michael Faras at the World Economic Forum, is just one of many examples of the changing tides in the market for EV-chargers. Here are the key points: - 450 million chargers need to be deployed between now and 2040. The charging infrastructure must grow simultaneously. - EVs are cheaper to fuel and maintain, resulting in a massive number of fleets converting to EVs. - By storing energy locally, users can subsidize their own energy usage while also providing battery backup for the grid. https://lnkd.in/deDwNSmm #evchargers #innovation #nextgeneration #technology

Interesting post on the development and growth of chargers for electric vehicles from World Economic Forum.

EVs will revolutionize urban, industrial, and domestic planning by incorporating EV charging stations just as ICE fuel stations did. Retailers will have to redesign stores to suit EV drivers who might spend a little more time eating or shopping while recharging their vehicles. ICE noise pollution will be mitigated when EV is widely adopted. A future of quietness and less pollution awaits us.

The difference is insane.... Green Bay vs. Los Angeles has some pretty different housing numbers for single family homes 🏡 For October 2023, the median sale price was: Green Bay: $220,750 Los Angeles: $1,130,000 The number of homes sold in October 2023 was: Green Bay: 77 Los Angeles: 1620 Based on this... Just under $17 million was sold in Green Bay last month and nearly $2 billion in real estate was sold in Los Angeles 😲 To find out the value of your home, regardless of where you live, comment "VALUE" below! #greenbayrealestate #losangelesrealestate #packers #chargers #realestatemarket

"Funds from a huge City of Tshwane (CoT) transport project, coupled with proceeds from the Passenger Rail Agency of SA's (Prasa) botched locomotives tender, in effect sponsored a R10-million donation the ANC pocketed in 2014. Bank statements and other financial records allowed us to trace funds from the two contracts to a shadowy ANC "fundraiser". This person ultimately paid the generous donation into the governing party's fundraising account. Our two-part series raises pertinent questions regarding the ANC's fundraising machinery. Do the donations flagged in our reports constitute arm's-length contributions from generous businesspeople? Or do they underpin something much more sinister? Is the ANC in effect pocketing alleged kickbacks from government contracts? Today's investigation examines financial dealings between Gauteng businessman Auswell Mashaba and Angolan national Maria Gomes, two key figures in Prasa's corrupt R3.5-billion locomotives contract."
