5% Or More In 31 Countries
By the end of last year, sales of electric cars reached 5% or more of the new car market in 31 countries. This threshold signals the start of mass adoption, after which technological preferences rapidly flip. When Bloomberg first completed this analysis in 2022, only 19 countries had passed the 5% tipping point. Last year, the number soared as EVs spread across four continents. For the first time, some of the fastest growing markets were found in Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. The trajectory laid out by countries that came before them shows how EVs can surge from 5% to 25% of new cars in under four years, Bloomberg says(..)
P.S. EVs are going mainstream...

P.S. Thanks to Latvia's correct political decision, it has been possible to protect peace and save Europe from the invasion of the Kremlin's war criminal regime for 20 years...

The Ministry released a statement March 27 saying Chargé d’Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of the Russian Federation, Oleg Zykov, was summoned in order that a "protest was expressed to him in the strongest possible terms by the Latvian side" over what was described as "unacceptable and [provocative] public communication pursued by the Embassy over an extended period."
P.S. The Russian embassy should be closed and the whole den of Russian spies and saboteurs thrown out of Latvia...

Details: In the video, Lukashenko, who is holding a white spitz, asks the military about the width of the Suwałki corridor, which "they [probably meaning Lithuania – ed.] are always yapping about."
"It's in vain that they behave this way. But now you will have to confront the Baltic republics... And you will take part of Poland," Lukashenko say, having learned the width of the corridor (42 kilometers in a straight line).
Lukashenko then asks the military commander whether he can hold the territory with "his troops". Naumenko assures him that "all actions are planned, issues of combat readiness are being worked out, and personnel are being trained."
P.S. Russians are preparing direct attack against West..., but in the meantime, corrupt politicians in Western countries continue to engage in political party office intrigues and worthless chatter...

P.S. Wow! If the advertising promises are true, then Škoda will have succeeded in creating exactly what the European car market needs. Compact crossovers at a reasonable price are one of the most popular types of cars in Europe...!
However, such news should be taken with very cautious optimism. We will be happy when Škoda actually produces something with a 64 kWh battery for such a price...!
For years we have been hearing loud announcements by legacy automakers about the next Tesla "killer", which have only materialized in continuous complaints and whining about how difficult it is to produce competitive electric cars...
