Future Headline? Growth of EV adoption leads to increase in obesity figures 🤪🤪🤪 https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxY0XkYfPab6fJ4iVMHNmq5mFc-wGZeFlT?si=cVbJDYtLcMVYfaie

on a related note am I the only person who thinks powerlines are less intrusive than windfarms?

If in doubt drop a mail to [email protected] with your Reg Number (and optionally VIN) and they will confirm the specifics for your vehicle

As often as you can post screen grabs without associated links to the original articles 😛 But the Government wants us to all have EVs regardless of their pitfalls ;o)

wow a whole 140 miles before needing to recharge ;o) I mean even if we accept that an ICE powered car when towing uses 50% more fuel then given most vehicles will have a starting range of between 500 & 600 miles it still gives them the edge (plus no faffing about at refuel time)

Probably Still a faff to have to (potentially) charge up every 80-100 miles with a setup that won't fit into the majority of (current) charging points

He was towing a Lotus Elan Sprint which weighs in at 680kg , basically nothing which is nice if you live in Norway or near South Mimms ;o)

I watched that and Harry Stated that when towing he was down to something like 1.2kwh when towing or around 100 miles range. That's a ridiculous drop in range from its 300-330 range. Yes I get ICE vehicles see increased consumption when towing but to the same extent?? Also problems with charging po9ints when towing were highlighted. Unlike a Petrol pump where you draw up alongside it (admittedly you may block a second pump for 5 minutes for so as you refuel) the majority of EV charging points appear to be set up for Nose/Tail in charging, his conclusion was that you pretty much need to decouple the trailer/caravan whatever in order to charge without being a knob (my word not his) and blocking everything off.

I know this is a an old thread but my washer bottle seems to be emptying faster than it should recently, haven't noticed it on the floor though

it's only starting to put EVs on a par with ICE so stop complaining ;o)

I think we sometimes forget that we on this forum are a very very small percentage of car owners in the UK. Not only that but those amongst us discussing in this specific thread/theme are a small percentage of that small percentage.

my default temp setting year round is 18.5 . My GF typically sets her side higher lol

She says she will freeze fuel duty next year and will maintain the existing 5p cut for another year, too. There will be no higher taxes at the petrol pumps next year, she says

which is why I suggested using both would be better

I've always put your insistence on posting screenshots only as a quaint idiosyncrasy/quirk however that response (when it's suggested/asked that links may be more useful) has revised my opinion.
