The automotive industry is at a pivotal moment. It's forward-thinking, innovative — yet still very manual and often reacting to legislation rather than preparing for it. Currently, the automotive sector accounts for a massive 18% of global GHG emissions. Scope 2 emissions alone are around 500 million metric tons of CO2 annually. The industry consumes 12% of the world’s electricity, but only 30% comes from renewable sources. Imagine the impact if that number were higher! Next step, Scope 3. Nearly impossible to compensate, yet holding so much potential for tangible impact. In my calls with major automotive brands, I've seen a genuine push towards reducing emissions. They're eager to collaborate with their supply chains, seek renewable energy certificates regularly, and understand the growing pressure to become 24/7 green. It’s time for bold action. Let’s commit to energy transparency, reduce environmental impact, and set new sustainability standards. The future of mobility is green, and we can lead this change.

🚗 Introducing Solar-Hydro Electric Vehicles (SHEVs): Revolutionizing Mobility 🌍 After months of research, I’m excited to present a concept that could reshape the future of transportation—Solar-Hydro Electric Vehicles (SHEVs). ⚡ The Problem: As EVs grow, charging infrastructure remains a major barrier. Range anxiety—running out of charge without a nearby station—is a challenge, especially in remote areas. 🔑 The Solution: SHEVs What if your vehicle could generate its own power on the go? SHEVs combine solar power and hydrogen fuel for a flexible, renewable energy system. 🌞 Solar Power: Solar panels on the roof extend range by 100+ km on sunny days. 💧 Hydrogen Backup: Hydrogen fuel cells kick in when solar isn’t enough, eliminating range anxiety. 🚀 Why SHEVs Matter Efficiency: Clean energy boosts range by 20% or more. Eco-Friendly: Lower carbon footprint compared to conventional vehicles. Cost-Effective: Solar charging on the go reduces charging costs. 🌍 Global Impact SHEVs offer a scalable, practical solution to sustainability challenges, enabling greener transportation in cities and remote areas alike. 💡 Market Potential With EVs projected to hit 30% of vehicle sales by 2030 and the renewable energy market approaching $1 trillion by 2028, SHEVs are poised to lead this revolution. 📈 Join the Movement Let’s connect if you share a passion for clean energy and future mobility. Whether you’re an investor or sustainability advocate, together we can drive innovation.

EV Mythbusting... What about all those end-of-life EV batteries that will just create more waste? Here's what's happening now! Car manufacturer JLR has revealed its first portable battery energy storage system (BESS) made using second-life batteries from electric vehicles (EVs). The unit, produced as part of a collaboration with energy storage innovation start-up Allye Energy, can store 270kWh of energy – nearly a month’s worth of power for the average UK home. It is comparable in size and weight to a typical diesel generator. JLR’s executive director of strategy and sustainability François Dossa said: "We are creating new value from a used commodity that would otherwise go directly to recycling, keeping them in use for longer, and providing innovative renewable energy storage solutions." The firm’s sustainable industrial operations director Reuben Chorley added: "Developing second-life battery projects is crucial if we want to make sustainability real in JLR and drive us towards achieving our carbon net-zero target by 2039." #evcharging #electricvehicles #sustainability
