BP following the FT 100 south; hopefully following and not leading!

Look who is trying to buy electric power companies



The reason is because electricity is the next OIL for the motor industry

I've been adding to my oilers this week. I'm hopeful of a sector rally in the coming months. A bear squeeze is coming.

Oil price won't stay low so i'm expecting another range bounce :)

I just wonder why BW is on this thread at all, considering he thinks it to be such a lost cause,

Macron will be gone in five years. Then what?

Big oil are not blind to whats happening. They have all been reorganising their portfolios to include lots more nat-gas, which burns much cleaner than oil and will be needed to generate the vast amounts of electric needed for EV's - clear example Shell.

Low share price and low GBP could attract a predator. May be cheaper/less risky than exploration?

Oil is dead.

France will 'ban all petrol and diesel vehicles by 2040'

There are one or two big problems with electric cars, that is, 1 how do you top up the battery,
and 2 do we produce enough electricity to run all those vehicles?
When I fill up with Diesel I take on around 60 L at a time, I rarely have to queue and Im in and out of the service station in less than ten minutes,
How long will it take to recharge an electric vehicle,and how many charging points are each service station going to have, how long will the queue for one of those charging points be?
As far as the production of electricity is concerned we will have to build several new power stations, not an impossibility, though there seems to be some difficulty with the proposed new one at the moment, and of course I expect it will all have to come from that ever so clean nuclear energy, so I guess its going to take a while to become run of the mill,
Electric vehicles have been with us for some time, when I was a lad I helped out on a bakers round and that vehicle was electric, charged overnight, and never more than a couple of miles from base, the same can be said for milk floats, but both of these were superseded by petrol or diesel vans,

There will always be a demand for oil to fry mcdonald's fries

[alphorn] 06/7/2017 11:21

I am long BP but I do believe that electric cars will be here quicker than most expect.

edit: France plans to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars in the country by 2040, according to the country's new environment minister, (10mins ago).

Volvo is now owned by a Chinese company

If you guys think that car manufacturers in Japan and Korea and the EU are going to sit still whilst China wins major market share off them in the new electric car market then think again.

In the USA Tesla recently became worth more than Ford Motors
Thus far Tesla has concentrated on the more sports/fast electric car.
It will be interesting to see if and when the make offering/s in the more ordinary type of electric car.

OIL and petrol will always be cheap in the USA though.


Also now watch OPEC react to the Volvo news plus even more reaction when another big car company makes a similar announcement.

OIL could now hit $25 in 2 to 3 years ... maybe even quicker depending upon electric car newsflow and take-up

Diesel car sales are tanking

I don't think there will be many electric hgv's/ships or planes in the future
oil is used to make many things!
it will be way into the future before batteries replace the combustion engine.
oil would have run out then and be un -obtainium + very expensive?
