Is that a charger next to the petrol pump or are they just buying groceries without consideration for people fueling up?

Maybe worth a double check on the instructions for garmin express? I'll have another look.

It appears to be about the size of new mapping. Even the Tom tom lifetime map promise is not for the persons lifetime. It is only until the mapping gets too big for the memory of the unit. Some older Garmin products have an sd card slot and they appear to be still supported through that capability I suspect the navigon products didn't have one.

A google search of that 10R number returns it as Navigon product https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=pX8uMCBimy5AgndL0bleG6 Effective December 1st, 2020, all NAVIGON products and NAVIGON Customer Support have been discontinued. The APPs and in-APP purchases are no longer able to be reinstalled and updates are no longer available. I would replace it with one of these https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/navigation/car-gps-sat-nav/go-classic/#5inch Updates automatically via WiFi and many other features for £119 Updates the map approx every three months

Scotland have an electric Fire engine https://www.scottish-enterprise-mediacentre.com/news/worlds-first-electric-fire-engine-designed-and-built-in-scotland-by-emergency-one

There are fires reported by the highways agency on twitter every month, most are HGV and ICE vehicles. In an interview with Forbes earlier this year, Thatcham Research CTO, Richard Billyeald, said that electric vehicles generally have a lower fire risk than fossil-fuel vehicles, but that the data pool is currently small. “Our latest research indicates that the risk of a fire for all types of EV remains less likely than for ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles. It should be noted that the usable data only goes back five years and even now the number of EVs on the roads still represents a very small sample size. “This is also reflected in the safety testing we conduct in the UK on behalf of Euro NCAP, where despite the robust impacts to the front and particularly the sides of the vehicle where the battery is most vulnerable, there have been no resultant thermal events.” https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/are-electric-car-fires-really-that-common/
