Le rĂ©trofit, autrement dit la transformation dâun vĂ©hicule thermique en Ă©lectrique, fait de plus en plus parler de lui. Et pour cause, il permet de donner une seconde vie Ă des voitures anciennes tout en rĂ©duisant leur impact environnemental. Accessoirement, il rĂ©duit aussi la consommation de carburant et par les temps qui courent, câest plutĂŽt une excellente nouvelle ! #retrofit #voitureĂ©lectrique
"for #Canada to achieve its goal of net zero by 2050, about 600,000 homes will need to be retrofitted each year. Updated building codes mean new buildings produce lower emissions, but older ones require retrofitting, especially since 80% of buildings that will exist in 2050 have already been constructed."

I would also argue that some of the most informed conversations Iâve had with people about #retrofit are with those who consider themselves to be #WorkingClassâŠthis is because those who have worked in trades (electricians, plumbers, carpenters, bricklayers), tend to have the greatest technical knowledge of how homes perform.
What frustrates people is when in the past they have experienced poor workmanship and delaysâŠthe concept of making their homes more energy efficient is a positive.
Working in #SocialHousing and #retrofit, I was delighted to be invited to attend this recent #ClimateMajority event concerning class and climate action at #UEA, #Norwich.
There are many assumptions made about the intersection of these two issuesâŠoften negative.
In my line of work I find those who have experienced the benefits of retrofit the greatest persuaders of others - this is true across spectrum

Katja Diehl teilt meine Begeisterung fĂŒr #Retrofit (ja, es geht um Elektroantriebe) und ihrem Bericht verdanke ich den Begriff "Pre-loved" đđ fĂŒr gebrauchte Fahrzeuge. (EnthĂ€lt ein Video mit Andreas Pfeffer von To Zero.)
