I think Nicola from Electrifying is the best reviewer. She is mad as a box of frogs and twice as fun. Miles is good fun too - looking forward to watching this. After seeing the first few seconds he seems to be freezing cold!

I once saw a video of a guy in the states who added a DIY replacement battery pack to a Prius. The cells were better quality so it ended up having more electric range than the original batteries, which had got heavily degraded through heavy cycling. I know you are very capable of these...

Sounds like chaos! OK, I'll allow up to three.

I've set up a poll as mentioned! https://www.mgevs.com/threads/poll-why-did-you-go-ev.25026/ A few more options than the last time, so more potential for nuance. Hopefully it won't go downhill in the comments like the last one did!

More about the terrible use of space I should think, as Salty noes.

Inspired by the recent thread from @aardvark5 https://www.mgevs.com/threads/did-you-buy-your-ev-to-save-the-planet.25025/ I thought I would re-run an earlier poll we had 18 months later, now that we have a lot of new members. People are encouraged to participate even if they participated in...

Knew it was a genius-level idea! :ROFLMAO:

Did we have a poll on this once? Should we have another one? Happy to set up. Just don't let T1 Terry set the thing up because it will be a total mess!

I think "Save the planet" is a strong way to put it. I don't think switching from petrol to EV 'saves the planet' but it is part of the switch from a very damaging to a less damaging way of doing things. Nevertheless, for me the carbon saving and role in the energy transition was probably...

The most confusing one for me is Rushmoor (NE Hampshire). They decided on green wheelie bins for general waste. When they later introduced recycling green was not available so they used blue. Everywhere else uses green for recycling so I just automatically put recycling in the wrong bin...

Strange. Sounds like someone proved to MG that they had taken ownership of the vehicle so MG have unbound it. Were you previously bound to the car? If you go in the car, can you just re-bind it?

Big fan of Simon Clark and he has a video about waste...

They must have a big sorting place with a conveyor belt. Presumably full of broken glass - ouch!

No wonder Oxfordshire has such great recycling rates. There is just one big recycling wheelie bin which has glass as well. Plus the food caddy and black bin for non-recyclables.

Oxfordshire has done this for a very long time. Strange that they aren't providing caddies like other places. Hopefully the bags are biodegradable. Your local shops will start selling them soon enough. Food waste is very bad for the environment. It breaks down underground into methane which...
