Does it not matter how big a battery a vehicles comes with people or some people will want to 'risk it for a biscuit' to save money, or spend more money to be sure they have additional possibilities to not just get to a charger?

Model 3 SR+ LFP managed 56 km.

Y managed 34 kms but it was Performance model so 4 wheel drive, 21 miles by my sums.

Had the tortoise / turtle symbol but not the secondary effect of it actually reducing the power in any of my Renault EVs, tested by giving it full power even with the turtle did not get to the stage it actually subtracting from the HP /KWs available. Despite going a dozen miles past 0% and warning flashed up but no reduction but I did charge up shortly after this ie mile or two.

Mini does show you on screen it is backing off from the full 184 HP and it does that well before 0% SoC. Still got loads of power but I gather Mini, or Great Wall Motor, car does not go a long way past )% like the Renaults do. Dacias Spring also seems to go quite a way past 0% too !

Orkney about to ve collected to UK National Grid.

Orkney great place to generate supply electricity to feed in to Scotland and rest of UK as well as make the Orkney Grid more robust.

Orkney has solar, tidal and wind i gather and backup diesel generator which i presume they might consider retiring but then again if cheap to keep as standby to the new mainland interlink then why not keep. Further progress to integrating ever larger territories which should bring prices down and further EV adoption.
