RE: https://mastodon.online/@electrek/116468665233029250 Speaking from personal experience, this is spot on. The savings ARE STAGGERING. One of our trucks went from $20,000 per year to $3000, JUST IN FUEL COSTS. Never mind the cost of maintaining an ICE vs an EV which is minuscule. #EV #ElectricVehicles #electrification #Electric #Climate #ClimateChange #onpoli #canpoli #fossilfuels

While it looks like a cheaper #tesla is in the cards, again, I don't think I'd buy one given #musk 's antics these past few years (e.g. #doge ) #electricvehicles #evs https://www.theverge.com/transportation/909196/tesla-cheap-affordable-ev-musk-model-2?view_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpZCI6IlRGb041MnhqUUUiLCJwIjoiL3RyYW5zcG9ydGF0aW9uLzkwOTE5Ni90ZXNsYS1jaGVhcC1hZmZvcmRhYmxlLWV2LW11c2stbW9kZWwtMiIsImV4cCI6MTc3NjIxNDE3MSwiaWF0IjoxNzc1NzgyMTcxfQ.Od8N0ct8Q0Wpc_Ys_SOttVexzmGdZcGKY-uPM4RdvWo&utm_medium=gift-link

undefined | Here’s how Denmark compares to other countries as fuel prices rise and what role green energy plays by TheCopenhagenPost Fuel prices across Europe have surged since the escalation of the war in Iran, but the magnitude of the increase differs sharply from country to country. Denmark, while experiencing a smaller percentage jump than several of its neighbours, still finds itself among the continent’s most expensive markets for gasoline and diesel. The relative moderation in price growth has prompted analysts to examine whether the nation’s extensive green‑energy infrastructure is buffering consumers from the full impact of the crisis. For Danish commuters, the higher cost of petrol translates into noticeably deeper pockets. Drivers report needing to allocate a larger share of their household budgets to fuel, especially those who travel regularly between suburbs and the capital. Although the price rise is less steep than in places such as Italy or Spain, the absolute level of fuel costs remains high enough to affect everyday mobility, prompting a rise in interest for alternative transport modes and greater scrutiny of household expenses. The lingering question is how much Denmark’s investment in wind, solar and other renewable sources can shield its citizens from future oil‑price shocks. While the green‑energy mix does reduce overall dependence on imported fossil fuels, the country’s still‑significant reliance on road transport means that fuel price volatility continues to hit consumers. Policymakers are therefore weighing further incentives for electric vehicles, expanded public‑transport options, and additional renewable capacity to ensure that the green transition can serve as a more effective hedge against external market turbulence.
