This week, I’m extending a bit additional again since we skipped final week’s publication.

Initially, some scorching information we revealed only a second in the past: a brand new electrical ridesharing service simply launched in Tampa, Florida, utilizing 6 yellow Tesla Mannequin Y crossovers. How cool do these look?

Talking of the Tesla Mannequin Y, a CleanTechnica unique this week was that we calculated the most well liked automotive on the planet handed 2 million cumulative gross sales within the third quarter of 2023. It’s now proper behind the Tesla Mannequin 3 because the second finest promoting electrical automotive of all time, and it’ll certainly move up the Mannequin 3 within the 4th quarter the turn out to be #1. What EV can catch it? Jo Borras and I mentioned that query in a latest EV Obsession YouTube present.

By the best way, Tesla simply slashed costs on the Mannequin Y and Mannequin 3 within the USA, making them ridiculously aggressive and compelling. Let’s see the place gross sales go from right here. You’ll be able to watch or take heed to Jo and me discuss this at size on YouTube as nicely.

Wrapping up the Tesla highlights, I additionally produced a report with 9 Tesla gross sales charts and graphs — most of which you received’t discover wherever else. It’s value a fast peek, imho.

Following the theme of EV gross sales, we revealed our month-to-month Netherlands EV gross sales report, and it confirmed a whopping 47% of latest automobiles offered within the nation at the moment are plugin automobiles, and 34% are full electrics. The Mannequin Y is much and away the mannequin chief.

Germany is kind of a distance behind, however nonetheless far forward of most markets. In September, 21% of latest automobiles had been plugin automobiles, and 14% had been full electrics.

Worldwide, 18% of latest car gross sales had been plugin car in August, and 13% had been full electrics.

Now we’ve bought some cool Kia information. The South Korean model has launched some very cool future fashions, the Kia EV3, EV4, and EV5. There’s a powerful component of unrealistic idea automotive enjoyable concerned at this level, however total, these seem like they might be huge hits! Kia additionally simply rolled out pricing and specs for the EV9. This massive SUV should not have any drawback discovering consumers, even within the USA.

Talking of common electrical SUVs, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has arrived on Australian shores! There are simply 4 or so within the nation out there for check drives for the time being, however I believe this cool electrical crossover will probably be a bit hit in Oz when it arrives in quantity.

Although, Ford won’t promote almost as many as BYD and Wuling might promote of the Seal and Bingo, respectively, if they aim markets in Africa and elsewhere that purchase a number of previous, used, inefficient, unreliable fuel automobiles for a similar value.

As thrilling as electrical automobiles are, it’s onerous to not take into account electrical boats much more thrilling. The electrical boat information we’ve this week is twofold. Blue Innovation Group has launched a very nice, cute, photo voltaic powered electrical boat for chilling with your loved ones and associates — and it’s semi-affordable? Not inexpensive, however tremendous thrilling, is a Porsche electrical boat. Sure, a Porsche electrical boat. Cease drooling! (Facet observe: we do settle for donations if anybody desires to supply us with a CleanTechnica boat for Florida’s Gulf of Mexico waters.)

Shifting over to energy era, an Australian startup might be on to one thing huge. It’s bringing the Volt photo voltaic tile to market, with some completely satisfied house owners and plenty of ready in line already. The corporate founder, who owns a Tesla in fact, says it’s about 25% of the price of a Tesla photo voltaic roof. Wowza!

Equally enjoyable, we’ve bought Tina Casey saying, “The floating photo voltaic revolution is coming to America, together with a brand new excessive tech monitoring system to spice up effectivity.” Floating photo voltaic or photo voltaic roof tiles — which wins? Each do!

There’s a little bit of a murmur within the European Union about requiring company fleets to impress 100% by 2030. Who would help that? Nicely, IKEA, Tesco, Uber, 3M, Volvo Automobiles, Ford, Renault Group, and plenty of others.

Final however definitely not least, we’ve bought Sinopec — China’s state-owned oil & fuel firm that Mike Barnard says “approaches being the Chinese language oil and fuel business.” It’s huge. And the information is that it believes 2023 would be the yr of peak gasoline demand in China! That’s one thing.
