  1. A great moment in UK history and for planet Earth as G7 UK produces more energy from renewables than fossil fuels and the line is quite steep heading to 50%, 55% and beyond. Prices for electricity due to fall on Monday April 1st, no joke. Even Ireland is celebrating UK success, they do get quite a bit of power supplied via the UK-Ireland interconnector. Cheaper running for EVs for energy. No road tax yet as VED for ICE cars goes up in the next few days. Congrats to my niece, just passed her car test and going straight for an EV. https://www.irishnews.com/news/uk/uk-records-highest-ever-share-of-electricity-generation-by-renewables-NYUL7EFFCFJBTHQSQ333SEXFWI/
  2. It is now after ULEZ and updating buses taxes has now halved the NOX.... https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/environment-and-climate-change-publications/air-quality-london-2016-2024 About the report Since 2016, London’s air quality has improved dramatically, and the number of Londoners living in areas that exceed the UK’s legal air pollution limits has decreased significantly. Drawing on data from London’s comprehensive monitoring network and the latest modelling from the London Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (LAEI), this report evaluates how air quality in London has improved between 2016 and 2024 and assesses the ambitious policies that have contributed to these changes. Improvements in monitored pollution levels Average concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were much higher in London than the rest of the UK in 2016 – and yet have fallen much more steeply in London compared to the rest of the country. Annual average roadside NO2 concentrations across London dropped by nearly half (49 per cent) between 2016 and 2023, compared to 35 per cent in the rest of England, 39 per cent in Scotland and 31 per cent in Wales over the same period. Preliminary figures also indicate that average annual concentrations of NO2 in London dropped to the lowest levels ever recorded in 2023, lower even than the first year of COVID-19 lockdowns. 2023 was also the first year since records began when annual mean particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations did not exceed the latest interim World Health Organization (WHO) air quality target across London’s active air quality monitoring sites. New data from London’s more than 150 reference-grade air quality monitoring sites also show the capital has made significant progress towards reaching the UK’s legal air pollution limits. The number of monitoring sites across London exceeding the UK’s annual legal limit for NO2 has decreased from 56 sites in 2016 to just five in 2023. There has also been a 99 per cent reduction in the number of hours when NO2 concentrations exceeded the UK’s hourly legal limit since 2016 – dropping from 4,130 hours in 2016, to just 22 hours in 2023.

  3. Not as high a specific output as the Kawasaki H2R engine .... Engine type Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, in-line four with Supercharger Compression ratio 8.3:1 Valve system DOHC, 16 valves Bore x stroke 76.0 x 55.0 mm Displacement 998 cm³ Maximum power 228.0 kW {310 PS} / 14,000 rpm Maximum power with RAM Air 240.0 kW {326 PS} / 14,000 rpm Maximum torque 165.0 N•m {16.8 kgf•m} / 12,500 rpm
  4. The Ministry of Truth getting ever more dirty in its campaigning. More resignations and less Con MPs re-standing but the risk of ever more loony candidates is the worry. Oddschecker showing Cons are about 10 to 1 whereas Labour is 1 to 10 on it seems, cannot wait but the mess they will inherit. Not that there is no money but there is £2.5T debt up from £1T only 14 years ago. Not fixing the roof in the good time 2015 to 2020.
  5. Guy has not even got common sense. He could have 5 or ten minutes research and saved himself 5 hours but he bragged about charging waiting for charging also. Did he never have the hare and the tortoise read to him as a child, or do physics as a subject at cse I wonder. I did 205 miles yesterday in my EV. Similar battery size, arrived with 20 miles to spare and really zoomed at some stages.
  6. Have It in eco for part of the journey chillout at around 65 mph, can use kickdown even in eco, get to 90 mph in around 5 seconds, do your overtake then settle back to cruising. There is a new hub round Chipenham, half a dozen ionity chargers and a nice cafe, don't stop at leigh dmD until it is upgraded in a few months time, dozens of chargers around Cribbs causeway Bristol. Fail to prepare then prepare to fail.
  7. Bloke is an idiot. He is speeding (indicated 74 mph) clearly has now knowledge of the cubic relationship speed and energy usage. If he just cruised a bit slower he should have only needed one stop and if he done even the modicum of research he could have gone to a place where there is multiple charger where there are nearly always at least one or more pretty vacant to use. Stellantis cars have not been good for range with the 50 kWh battery pack, actual useable power only just 45 kWh on many of them and it is quite a big car. That pack is better in the Corsa or the B segment cars rather than C segment where you really need around the 60 kwh packs and above.
  8. 2024, two race meets in. Much great racing and well done Toprak and first wins for BMW. Disappointing crowd figures but many fans went down to Motogp in Portamao rather than WSB at Barca I think. Motogp was very good too. Going to be spectacular racing in both series I think.
  9. Is this the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end ?
  10. The just want to raise more profits and up their share price it seems. Sales of BYDs in Europe do not look great, not as good as SAIC-MG it seems in the car sector or of course TESLA.
  11. News that TESLA were rising UK prices of both Model Y and 3 do not seem to have hit yet as the Model 3 Standard Range is still sub £40K. Long may it last and hopefully see the price fall by another grand or two as the battery packs get cheaper and cheaper. Cheaper to run to as electricity prices fall in 12 days. https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/model3/design#overview
  12. It is widely circulated that road damage related to axle weight is to the 4th power so twice the weight then 16 times the road damage. But then not only heavy Audis etc are some part of the problem but truck which can now be 44 tonnes, six axles I recall which would have four tyres I presume on that axles which works out about 3 tonnes through a tyre. There are things called friendly axles I now read. Some cars might be putting about 1.5 tonnes on an axle or a bit less than a tonne a tyre. Massively less than trucks therefore using the power to the forth. My little Zoe is not that heavy compared to many road cars though quite a lot more than cars of a generation or two ago which were half the weight but then they had little safely equipment. Like so many current social issues which is deflection from massive under investment and taxes not be collected like against non-Doms. Decaying society from a morally bankrupt government. https://www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/opinion/opinion-cars-have-a-weight-problem-and-its-damaging-more-than-the-environment/#:~:text=We've known this since,than a one-tonne car.
  13. Finally got thru Rebel Moon, very slow to start but after first half hours kick on well. Sort of Magnificent Seven in space, there are only 7 stories it is said.
  14. Halo cooking along very nicely, getting better and better now on episode 6. Visual very good and story.
