Welcome to quick charge. It's november six, twenty twenty four, and i'm your host to job us. If you're american, you probably already know that we had a big election last night.

And almost fittingly, tesla model less plant has just become the world's quickest police patrol car. Employed performance is unbid. It's up fit tesla model s plaid police patrol car at sima, becoming the world's quick accelerating police car built on the tesla model s plaid platform.

The outfit plaid pursuit brings a host of modifications and advance technologies aimed enhancing high speed pursuits and traffic control Operations. The vehicle will be delivered to the los Angeles counting share of apartment motorsports community average program, underscoring a pivotal shift towards electric vehicles in public service roles. The upflow plaid pursuit model incorporates a propriety electrical wiring harness designed specifically for outfit tesla vehicles, allowing for the integration of customer forward and rear facing warning lights into the front rear glass.

And while we're on the topic of tesla in police, I definitely want everybody to be aware that I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted media personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves. And those underground sugar caves might be nicer than most.

That's according to a new human rights diligent study done by amnesty international, which recognizes tesla and Mercedes bands for their diligent efforts in human rights. There have been concerns about the rise in electric vegal adoption leading to human rights violation issues, especially due to the increase need for some of the metals related to matter production, which are sometimes mind in difficult harsh conditions. Bulk of these concerns revolved on cobalt mining in the democratic republic of congo.

M S D international has been one of the main organizations bringing attention to this issue. In twenty sixteen, we were reported on their original report highlighting the issue. The organization has now released a new updated report about situation, noting that there have been significant improvements since their last report vote.

There have been some undoubtedly progress across the sector since twenty seventeen, when M S C international last assessed the human rights do delicious policies and practices of several E D makers on their metal supply chains. Seven years later, many E, D, makers have taken positive steps to acknowledge the human rights responsibility, ie s, and align corporate policies and practices with international human write standards. Some conducted risk assessment of specific battery supply chain minerals, met with effective communities and participated in initiatives with civil society organza to develop shared frameworks and expectations of conduct for the industry.

MC international recognized Mercedes bends, and tesla is doing the best of all the automated kers evaluated, but they still fall short of the adequate demonstration of human rights diligence, but they are way Better than laggards like byd in mid bc. According to the report, clearly, there are still a lot of work to do, and we recently reported on a new battery passport plan to track battery materials and opponents from mine to car. Now while E, V, manufacturer certainly do by the lion share of lizzie products, they aren't certainly not the only use cases for advance with the ion.

And today's episode is sponsored by blue, another leading provider of sustainable energy solutions, and specializes in in portable power stations, solar generators and energy storage systems. As a provider of dependable and portable energy solutions, blue di has become an industry leader with the presence in over a one hundred countries that is trusted by millions of customers worldwide.

You can explore all of these early bird sales at bloody power dot com or click the link below in our youtube comments will also have a link to that in the show notes. And as we move on, we like to close out these shows, talking about sustainability, talking about the grid, talking about energy. And we should definitely bring up this statistic, especially in light of the results of last night night election in which president trump handily defeated the democratic movement.

Now I may not be happy about that. Other people you know in your life may not be happy about that, but this is cracking. This is ultimately the process that we trust.

So we have to kind of just go with that, right? And the good news is that seventy eight percent of trump motors do support bites. Clean energy incentives, if you're like me, and one of your primary motivators for voting the way you do is energy policy and sustainability policy.

This is good news for you. Support for biding federal clean energy incentives cuts across party lines. Seventy eight percent of the people who voted for trump in twenty twenty say they support them, quote, every american wants lower energy Prices and greater energy security.

That's totally fair, and that's precisely what federal clean energy policies are delivering that according to, say, a president and CEO eba. l. Ross hopper, politicians may talk and bluster as the election approaches where they had IT, but the polling is clear and a savy lawmaker will not undermine the billions of dollars and clean energy investments flowing into their states and districts.

A strong belief in the benefits of solar and energy storage drives voter support, with seventy five percent of respondents agreeing solar benefits the U. S. economy.

Seventy one percent of firm that pain solar with storage enhances grid reliability, and seventy four percent degree that more solar use will save american families money. More than half of the people survey or thinking about getting rooftop solar and new data from the U. S.

Treasury department shows that in twenty twenty three, over seven hundred and fifty thousand householders claimed residential solar roof top credit with nearly fifty thousand claim tax credits for home batter storage. States like nevada and arizona are seeing some of the highest rates of root top solar adoption, thanks to the I. R A.

What's more, two point three million households claimed energy efficient home improvement tax credits, such as for heat pumps nearly two hundred and sixty eight thousand and home insulation about seven hundred thousand. And as if to underscore the importance in the value that solar is going to have regardless of who's going to be empowering the next four years, tesla plans of mini oasis super charger with solar and batteries near its giant products. Tesla appears to be doubling down on its new oasis supercharger station concept, which consists of a larger stations powered by solar and a micro grid battery system.

C E, O elon musk has been saying that the goal of the supercharger network is to be powered by solar and batteries and mostly be off grades since twenty sixteen, but tesla has yet to make this arrangement common. The announcement of the project oasis has given us some hope that might finally happen, and IT looks like tesla is planning now in mini oasis. The project is about fifty miles and north of the original project oasis, also on I five, between L A.

And the bay area we're calling IT a minal oasis, not because IT has fewer charging stations in a oasis, actually has the same member of plan stalls at one hundred and sixty eight, but because IT doesn't have as much solar and battery to enable off grade use. The asis has eleven megatons of plain solar power and thirty nine mega lot hours of battery storage. The new project in coal linger has less than one mego lot of solar and fifteen point five megawatts of the energy storage.

In the case of asis, the great compliments to text ls mg grade and in this new project, it's tesla micro good that compliments the grid connection. That's all we've got for today, november six. Be sure to take care of yourself.
