The potential for cuts in 2030 is 31 gigatons of CO2 equivalent – which isaround 52 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2023 – and 41gigatons in 2035.· Increased deployment of solar photovoltaic technologies and wind energy coulddeliver 27 per cent of this total emission reduction potential in 2030 and 38 percent in 2035.· Action on forests could deliver around 20 per cent of the potential in both years.• Other strong options include efficiency measures, electrification and fuelswitching in the buildings, transport and industry sectors.
for - stats - 27% of the gap can be reduced by wind and solar deployment and 20% by action on forests, while efficiency, electrification, fuel switching in buildings, transport and industry sectors can also contribute - UN Emissions Gap Report 2024 - Key Messages

Das französische Batterien-Startup Verkor hat 2 Milliarden Euro Finanzierung aufgestelltt – ein Rekord in Frankreich. Der Staat subventioniert dabei massiv, um die Abhängigkeit von China zu verringern. Hauptkunde wird Renault sein, das auch mitfinananziert. https://www.liberation.fr/economie/economie-numerique/a-dunkerque-levee-de-fonds-record-pour-la-gigafactory-de-verkor-20230914_C3TFUGVMFBBFLMQHNRFIFZQ3BI/

One study of women in rural areas without electricity in the 1940s found that hand-washing and ironing a 38-pound laundry load required taking about 6,300 steps around the house, the well, the stove, and back to the house. After nine such loads, a woman would have walked the equivalent of a marathon. The electrification of housework reduced the ambulatory burden of that same laundry load by 90 percent.
Which study?
Was it mentioned by Robert Caro in his Johnson biography which has a chapter laying out some of this work before electrification?

The amount of EVs in Norway is impacting air quality ('we have solved the NOx issue' it says) in Oslo. Mentions electrified building machinery also reducing noise and NOx on building sites. This has been a long time coming: in [[Ljubljana 2013]] there was this Norwegian guy who told me EVs had started leading new car sales. via Bryan Alexander.

Save around $11.30 for every 100 miles driven in an EV instead of a gasoline fueled vehicle.
A later tweet provides the math. 4 gallons for 100 miles = $16.80. 34.6kWh for 100 miles = $5.50.
