The total of over £125 billion in profits made by energy giants from their UK operations since 2020 equates to approximately £878 per household per year.

An analysis found that energy giants have made over £125 billion in profits from their UK operations since 2020, with £40 billion occurring in the last two years.

But the more wind and solar we add the higher the prices seem to go? United Kingdom Record electricity generation: In 2024, renewable sources generated a record 143.7 TWh of electricity, up from 135.8 TWh in 2023. Majority of electricity: Renewables provided 50.4% of the UK's electricity in 2024, exceeding fossil fuels for the fourth time in five years. Key contributors: Offshore wind and solar generation both reached new annual record levels in 2024. Increased share: The share of electricity from low-carbon sources (renewables and nuclear) rose to a record 64.7% in 2024, up from 60.3% in 2023

All this investment in solar and wind is really paying off for them isn't it.

Porsche taycan as a company car Example calculation for a £94,945 Porsche Macan Electric Annual taxable benefit: £94,945 (P11D value) x 3% (BIK rate) = £2,848.35 For a 20% taxpayer: £2,848.35 x 20% = £569.67 per year or approximately £47.47 per month For a 40% taxpayer: £2,848.35 x 40% = £1,139.34 per year or approximately £94.95 per month thanks to our wonderful Rachel

The leaf should improve when it moves to liquid battery cooling system in it's third generation. The all-new, third-generation Nissan LEAF, featuring a liquid-cooled battery system, is now available to order in some markets like the UK, with first customer deliveries expected in February 2026

I too did research before buying an ev Use it to do what you want to. Charge it appropriately if you need 100% and are using it it's not really a problem In the earlier days, most experts warned that using fast charging (DC) leads to more degradation over slow charging (AC), due to heat and plating at high C-rates. Especially in the cold. In real-world fleets, the picture is more nuanced. Recurrent’s 2024 analysis of ~13,000 Teslas found no statistically significant difference in range degradation between cars that fast-charged most of the time and those that fast-charged rarely. The more practical rule: avoid extremes (very hot, very cold, or very high SoC), and don’t waste time forcing DC from the 80 to 100% unless your trip requires it. EleportShould I Charge My EV To 100% | How It Depends On Your Ba...Should I charge my EV to 100 percent? A common question that sees all sorts of wrong answers. There are a few key factors to consider when charging EV to 100%

Mine did that last winter, had to use the hairdryer and multiple lock/unlock (use the button on the dashboard to protect your fob battery) and it opened. Then no problems until August when on the motorway stopped to charge and it wouldn't open lock/unlock worked. This time the solenoid had now failed. I have re-posted in "moments of joy" about the result. Phoned Skoda assist they came next day (Fri) opened the flap by snapping the pin, ordered the parts (two parts needed to return to undamaged). Came back Saturday and fitted in less than an hour.

Key in pocket can sometimes not be detected, another issue can be where your mobile phone is in relation to the key I get "Key not detected" every now and again in my Skoda

It will just last longer not used it has more storage capacity. How does it compare on the cca stat which is cranking amps

Can you now buy it in the "shop" for £270? Like my ACC option I think to add it as a factory order you had to buy one of the packages that are up to £5,000 If it is in the shop probably means the hardware to run it is already with you.

Cannot open the charge flap to charge my car, been trying all day, hair dryer lock/unlock etc no joy. Skoda service coming tomorrow because the dealer is booked up till January.

I wouldn't consider life un-important Depending upon the wind it could be hanging around underneath and around the car. Doesn't need much to get in an enclosed space especially being warmer than the air above due to the heat from the exhaust. Neither is it good for the environment, a good sleeping bag would be a better option.

Put the heater on and it will go down turn it off it will go back up as well.

So you would need a CO2 monitor then

ACC is available to buy as a software upgrade in my Enyaq It's an idea I believe to keep the sale price down The car has all the hardware but not activated as standard Was the car just under £40,000 by any chance

I would get one of these doubles as a powerbank to charge your phone etc. Ready for when the battery starts to fail and the cheapest place i can find it https://www.diagnosticconnections.co.uk/topdon-v1500

I hope you have a CO monitor

For a 13kwh battery 28 miles sounds reasonable in the cold what did you get last winter

I had the opportunity to read the full autocar supplement in the Skoda Dealer yesterday it was very informative and the hour I waited for the servicing to be done flew by.

If it's an EFB I would replace it with an EFB no need for the extra expense of an AGM. What you could do if you have low usage case is get a larger capacity for the storage element. https://www.tayna.co.uk/ There are cheaper but this is 65ah not 60ah and longer warranty than

This is also my understanding of the BMS and EFB AGM battery technology as an operating strategy. Worst thing that can happen to a sealed efb or agm is over charging. Stop/start circuitry monitors for 80% if the car is below it disables. BMS aims to maintain above 80% but will not go to 100% because that would leave no headroom for engine braking regeneration.

If it currently 12.2v charge the battery up with the correct charger, then the next day check the voltage, after that the next step is to check the voltage as someone starts the car and see how low it goes and how quick it recovers.

I don't understand the 95% what did they say that was because 12.2v is around 50% charged. Fully charged would be 12.6v or higher depending upon time checked
