I was avoiding posting on this on as it's largely rehashed stuff from other threads but I'm so glad to see a glimmer of understanding and maybe even acceptance of sentiments I've shared before here, and which you previously seem to have had an issue with. :)

Haha brother will do for me thanks :-) Not sure whether to be flattered. offended or what!! :-)

Seem to be 20 or more within about 3 - 4 miles or less of Stockport on Electroverse, though not so many on the Bramhall side. The mosque at Cheadle has some...

Way pre EV I used to tug a caravan down to Le Mans for the 24h race ( - anyone watch it this weekend just gone?). It was a lovely run through villages and tree lined country roads, such that when they opened the peage (I think beyond Rouen - the road to Rouen was free, as it so often is :-) )...

I know you are and I've engaged with you on other conversations, and I am interested in what everyone posts, even if I sometimes have a different view! Sorry that you've got cross, that wasn't my intent. I don't want to ignore you (or anyone else for that matter) but I will do my best to not...

But coming to an EV forum to complain doesn't seem the right approach to me, even if I thought it was worthwhile. And there is already stuff being done, on quite a large scale apparently, so it does seem to me a minor waste of breath...

Depending on your mileage you could look at Octopussys tracker tariff. They are allwoing 50k people onto it on 1 July so I'm not sure if you'd get in then or have to wait. But you would need a smart meter. I'm estimating, on this weeks rates and my consumption over the past 2 months, it will...

France tolls have always felt somewhat pricey to me. OTOH I nearly went on the M6 toll the other day but that's now over £6 apparently - used to be OK when I was travelling on expenses but not on my own hard-earned!! :-) My local chippy cod 'n' chips is now £9.20!! I can nearly remember when...

I'd get an ICE if I were you :) I totally get what you're saying... but as I keep having to say, this is all in progress and can't happen overnight. I also think there is something of a compromise with an EV and things will never be quite as easy as with an ICE - or at least not for some years...

It's happening! https://www.current-news.co.uk/uk-sets-new-records-for-ev-charge-point-installations/

I remember it well but Tesco stopped that years ago. They are now cutting back quite severely on their Clubcard points deals, cutting the value from 3x to 2x face value. I think the stores are struggling to keep shelf prices low to remain competitive so something has to give...

Nothing wrong with using a granny if it fits your requirement. I don't really agree with free chargers though, even though it's nice when you find one and can use it. Tesco have stopped them (in most stores anyway) presumably due to the cost. But at the end of the day, someone is paying...

Hmmm most mysterious.... :-) Still, I don't have problem with people charging on the road if that's what you were thinking. And I'm all for increasing EV ownership, and for the already-significant public charging infrastructure to be further improved to make life easier for us all.

Very good but I'd have just gone down the pub :-)

Nearly always at home, on my drive. Why do you ask?

That's interesting. The 2 LEDs cost £11.45 each a year to run whereas all the bulbs on average cost nearly £28 each. I realise that it's not quite as simple as that, as some lights are probably more expensive to run than others and I have no idea of the split, nor any idea whether the two LED...

I was happily letting go but felt a response was required to a post from a member called Gadget Geek, who clearly couldn't let it go. :-) Your mod badge isn't visible btw.

Technically maybe not but if it is causing an obstruction then that could be illegal. And just because it isn't explicitly illegal doesn't mean it's not anti-social. Nor does the fact that others may be doing it. Btw I'm all for people finding ways to charge their car "on street". But not by...

I don't see a problem with asking peoples opinions. The forum does tend to attract the negatives, less so the positives, so IMO it's not unreasonable to ask a few questions of owners before committing.

I thought the idea of SMETS2 was to make them all compatible and stop this nonsense of them keep having to swap meters. Still, it is BG....... always were somewhat inefficient in my experince...
