“EV Sales Capital Of The World” Is Shanghai
The International Council on Clean Transportation recently released a report on EV sales around the world. It’s a fascinating document with some intriguing insights. Were you aware that over one million electric passenger vehicles were sold around the world in 2017, that China led the way with over 579,000, and that most sales of such vehicles to date have taken place in China, Europe, Japan, and the United States?
6 Months Free Supercharging On All Teslas Via A Referral Code Ends Tomorrow, Monday, December…
It seems like every week there is a new deadline given by Tesla. I’ve only had a couple of marketing courses, but I seem to remember a huge problem in sales is people are 99% ready to buy, but are just not quite ready to pull the trigger. If you give them a reason to decide, some will decide to buy, some will decide to wait, but you will at least get some of the people off the fence to pay the bills.
Trump Administration Attacks Cleantech Policies 90% Of Americans Support — #Not #Smart
Donald Trump isn’t unpopular enough. His latest attempt to woo the American public (aside from attacking US heroes and his longtime right-hand man) is apparently to eliminate support for true energy independence, energy security, clean air, and clean water through electric vehicles and clean energy.

Shell: Companies Need To Seduce Customers To Decarbonize Their Lives
In a statement that shows the pattern that Shell and other fossil fuel companies take to distract, dissemble, and blame, Maarten Wetselaar, Shell’s director of integrated gas and new energies, said, “It’s the task of companies like us to seduce our customers to decarbonize their lives. The world is intervening very late.”
Last Call To Order A Tesla For 2018 … Or Should You Wait For The…
Sometimes I feel like the boy who cried wolf. On October 12, I wrote an article that you should order a Tesla Model 3 by October 15 or you wouldn’t be guaranteed delivery by year end. Then, on November 11, I wrote about 5 options to still get a Tesla in 2018. Tesla didn’t want that to be the end of the story. As we wrote on November 15, the company secured extra trucking capacity and announced to the world it won’t use rail to ship to the East Coast (since it takes too long and Tesla wouldn’t want you to miss out on getting your Tesla by year end). But that’s not all.
Conservative Media Try To Discredit Tesla Via EV Tax Credit Campaign — #MediaAnalysis
Tesla continues to be targeted by the fossil fuel industry out of a fear of loss of dominance.
Incentives In The World Of Energy: What Power Use In Rental Properties Can Teach Us…
While recently traveling, I was cozy and tucked in bed under full sheets and comforter with the thermostat set to 65 degrees when a pang of guilt about this unnecessary energy usage hit me. I grumpily got out of bed to adjust the temperature when it hit me. As an advocate for energy-efficiency and climate-change efforts, I never would have set the thermostat so low if I was at home, so why did I act differently while in a hotel room in a different city?
The Fight For A Tesla Gigafactory In Poland
When writing my letter to Elon Musk a few weeks ago, little did I know about the real actions undertaken by so few for so many. Tesla is a dream — a dream of an extraordinary electric vehicle everybody wants to own, a dream of an out-of-the-universe leader, Elon Musk, who everybody wants to follow, and a dream of a gigafactory every nation wants to attract. It seems now that Poles around the world are joining forces to save Elon from making a terrible mistake by going some other place than Poland. 🙂 Here is the story.
