on the laughable #LNP rhetoric re #NetZero and #Renewables 😬
" #China’s overseas investments in clean #energy have exceeded $225 billion since 2011, more than the Marshall Plan, adjusted for inflation. In Pakistan, a standalone panel costs farmers $125, and they never have to worry about buying #diesel again. In Nepal, #electricvehicles now make up 76% of new car sales because Chinese Mini #EVs only cost $10,000. These aren’t moral decisions. They’re economic ones."

@jbz We should say it as it is. There is a low demand of old, imperfect, not evolving #EV
The iteration speed of Chinese manufacturers, the biggest purchasing power globally represented by 20-30 year olds look at the Porsche as "grand dads car"
They are not SDV, they do not connect your life to the car when entering it. What Chinese buyers consider a car is not in the Porsche offerings.
Backpedaling will not help Porsche
