U.S. energy use is about the same now as it was in 2000, despite

economic growth of about 30 percent

Changing your boiler from a G efficiency

rating to an A rating can save you £340 a year on your gas bill.

Improvements in technology are making

appliances more energy efficient,

ultimately reducing energy wastage. These new technologies are

now becoming the conventional choice.

China EconomicsTechnologyEuropean Regulation

Due to license plate restrictions, consumers in Beijing had a 0.1% chance of success when applying for a Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle in 2017 but a 50% chance of success for an EV.

European auto manufacturers must reduce average CO2 emissions for new cars sold to 95 g/km by 2021 or face hefty fines. The average in 2017 was 119 g/km.

The Tesla Model S can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in as little as 2.4 seconds. That’s faster than any Ferrari currently available.

The battery accounts for most of the cost differential between an EV and an ICE vehicle. However, costs are falling rapidly, with battery costs having fallen 79% in the last 7 years.
