    The (permanent) circus is apparently very good there. They even do an aquatic one.

    The BBC comments today on that article make the Daily Fail's look like Tesla fanboys.

    I think countrywide the MG5 is the taxi drivers or private hire car drivers vehicle of choice (black cab areas notwithstanding).

    A big Kernow ( charger ) welcome 😁👍

    Last year when I went to Cornwall I chose an Airbnb with its own dedicated 7kW Chargepoint. I did charge at Gridserve on an overnight stay in Exeter (N.B. - I've always stayed overnight in Exeter) for contingency. However as it happened I didn't really need to and I then never public charged...

    Polestar 2 review (previous gen) and TJA/LKA equivalent

    What do people you consider as being underwater at the end of a PCP. Is it 1. Is the money you could sell it for to a dealer less than than the MGFV 2. Could you buy the same car spec from a dealer at a lower price than the MGFV? Eg you could sell the car with MGFV of £16k for £15k but it would...

    1st day of free solar charge

    Its not strictly free as the marginal cost is what you could have sold it at to the grid. But defo cheaper.

    I’m in N Wales

    Its always worth asking also even if it does not state. A properly wired outside plug brings a granny charger into play. I have done that with an Airbnb at Christmas and l will be doing so again for a long weekend in August. I wouldn't be keen on using inside plugs though, through an open...

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    If they can have an acceptable charging solution (home, decent nearby off-street, nearby Tesla chargepoints open to all or any Tesla chargepoint if getting a Tesla) and they can afford at least used, then yes, get an EV. If not, then wait on few years till its better where they live

    EV opposition in the media is ramping up

    The question could be: are there any people who bought an EV who switched back to ICE, because unlike others in the same set of circumstances, they dont have the mental capacity to be capable of being able to use it ie user error. That would cover most, but not all, of the switch back to IC.

    Is it just me?

    I take out everything except the dash cam in case they crash it whilst moving it and pretend they didn't.

    According to the conspiracy theorists and fudsters the Bedfordshire Fire Service have been told/ordered/bunged (take your pick) to create a false report. They would also have us believe the most leaky UK govt in living memory would be so watertight on this occasion, that nobody would spill the...

    Shell to close 1000 petrol stations.

    500 quid will buy you a 2 kWh storage unit to keep in the boot!. Enough to get you 5 or 6 miles to the nearest other place you could charge more from. You might wait for an hour for it to charge though. Not saying I would but its there for those who are irrationally afraid of being stranded.
