Oil Columnist Makes the Switch to Electric Vehicles
Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas has made the switch to an electric vehicle (EV), marking the end of his reliance on gasoline. The transition occurred in September 2026 when his new EV arrived, replacing his old car. Blas clarified that his decision was practical rather than driven by global events like the Iran war, which had no influence on his choice.
The columnist jokingly noted that a dramatic headline about an energy shock prompting his EV embrace would have been misleading. Instead, his shift was simply due to needing a new car and recognizing that an EV was the best option for his typical driving distances.
Blas also shared that the image accompanying his column is not actually a photo of his new EV, adding a touch of humor to the story.
