ffyring··on Denmark: EVs Make Up 97% of New Private Car Sales in July
At least in the apartments I have been living in the last couple of years you can always choose to have a charger. For older buildings in e.g. Stockholm city center there could be a lack of available parking spaces in the building.
ffyring··on California exceeds 100% of energy demand with renewables over a record 30 days
How do you figure that?

Sweden exported electricity almost every hour for 2023 (import 40 hours of 8760 = 0.5%). Most of the hours when importing electricity was due to low and negative prices when operators could use water reservoirs as batteries. Currently, there is an obvious overcapacity with an export of almost 20% of production.

Classic. I still play it today with my friends on a C64 that keeps going after 35 years or so.
ffyring··on Near 90% Mortality Rate in Intubated Covid-19 Patients in NYC
I don't know about NYC, but in Sweden median age is 60 years. Have a look at the link to see a distribution graph ("Åldersfördelning") https://www.icuregswe.org/data--resultat/covid-19-i-svensk-i...

Yes, agree that there is a difference. Regarding Sweden, it seems like all patients in ICU are intubated. An explanation might be that because of the low number of ICU beds in Sweden only people deemed to have a fair chance of survival is admitted.

[1] is the ICU register that gives some statistics, e.g. that median age is 60 years and 25% of patients don't have any risk factor.

I will try to find a source, but AFAIK (and checked with a doctor) only patients that need intubation currently get ICU treatment in Sweden.

Something is odd with either the patients or the methods. In Sweden the mortality rate is around 20% [1] (in Swedish, unfortunately).
