France Hits Record 19.2% EV Share in December – Up Almost 6× Year on Year
From another country that also has almost entirely co2-clean electric power, at least for now:<p>Sweden in November: 38.7%, up 2.7x YoY<p><a href="https://cleantechnica.com/2020/12/02/swedens-ev-sales-hit-new-record-in-november-37-8-market-share/" rel="nofollow">https://cleantechnica.com/2020/12/02/swedens-ev-sales-hit-ne...</a><p>I worry about the current trend of both France and Sweden shutting down nuclear plants without building any replacements though. Wind power is great, I suppose (the jury is still out on the sustainability of the hardware - but it's not looking great at the moment - massive amounts of concrete needed causing kinda huge co2 emissions during the chemical manufacturing processes), but it's no good as a baseline power for days when there's no wind and the hydro power is running on low. The fallback for that scenario is burning coal or oil.
