Of course you could turn it around and say that you used 2.8 kWh of energy to produce a product that contains 9 kWh of energy. I had to block his posts appearing on my Facebook feed as a lot of them were as bad the the anti EV ones, it's all about the clicks.

It does add up. The amount of energy in petrol wasn't mentioned at all, it was all about the amount of energy it takes to produce it. But that wasn't my point really, it was more about the one sided arguments on both sides. At least he isn't as bad as the Electric Viking or Geoff buys cars.

It happens all the time, cherry pick the numbers to suit the argument.

I'm leaving this one now, it is starting to wonder off subject.

Having home solar is a whole different argument, but most people will be getting their power from the grid. He could have picked so many better points than this, and the only thing that shocked me was how low the figure was.

These one sided posts on both sides annoy me. They have based the distance travelled on 4 miles per kWh, a bit on the hopeful side for an everyday figure, and how about the 10% loss when charging the battery. Look at it another way, 1 litre of fuel has used 2.8kWh, that will get you about...

Not really shocking. I wonder how much power it takes make 1 kWh of electricity? Even with renewable you have to produce the turbine or solar panel, then there is the network to transport the electricity and the maintenance.

My day rate has gone up to 28.864 p Night rate has gone up to 6.9 p

I'm actually surprised that Google hasn't killed off Waze yet.

About 28p a unit.

I used Waze for a long time, but moved to Google maps a couple of years ago. I find it better overall, and it means one less app on my phone.

The drivers display you can set a day and night brightness level, but the centre screen is a poor set up, you can set a level and when the lights are on it dims the display but only a bit. I have my centre screen on about 50% and use dark mode all the time. Also Auto mode has nothing to do with...

I've seen that last one as a 3D print, the trouble is it blocks the cable holes.

Must be an issue with your car. I use Android auto with maps for nearly every journey and it has always worked perfectly.

I'm not sure how accurate the figures are from car and charger. I did a charge last night and the Hypervolt said 6.7kW, the car said 6.2kW.
