Some cities seem to allow driving in bus lanes 24/7 for EV’s. Not sure how widespread this is. Of course all users can drive in the bus lane outside limited times - if it is a bus lane that has these time limitations on the sign. Although most users don’t know this. Does your area allow EV’s...

Does anyone know what impact the load rating has on tyres? To explain, I need minimum 94V (V is the speed rating), and can get a 98W tyre a little cheaper but same quality/size etc. (it’s also rated a little quieter…) will the increased load rating make any difference? Thank you!

I might be a bit late to the party, but I noticed that Shell are showing charging prices on a display not dissimilar to petrol and diesel price displays. 64p in bright green numbers. Still crazy high but at least you can see the price before you decide to stop or as you drive past to charge...

Thought as a change (this forum says talk about anything that you want) we could post a few favourite jokes. my starter: “I thought that I saw a super hero once when I was a boy. It turned out to be just a depressed clown throwing himself off a building.”

Quite a few changes planned going forward. I’ve seen some chat online about speed assist systems defaulting to on for each new cycle… It’s coming i feel. https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/75441/euro-ncap-ad-test-and-assessment-protocol-v11.pdf#page19

Hello everyone, I appreciate there’s a lot of chat on electricity prices. I thought that I would quickly share mine. I’ve been with Octopus for a while now and my current rates are: Standing charge; 25p/day 00.30-04.30hrs: 5p/KwHr 04.30-0030: 13.72p/KwHr So in todays environment I’ve had a...

I recently started a discussion about how EV’s and their use of regen changes the way we brake and how convent friction brakes haven’t changed. I thought that this article has some interesting points.

It struck me that on some EV’s regenerative braking can be quite strong. We know that friction brakes don’t get much use. Are we just a small step away from completely removing friction brakes and using purely regen? I assume that the software and motors could be configured to brake the car with...

I drove behind one of these today. Nice looking van - thought it was a Ford transit! I had no idea SAIC produced vans in the UK. https://saicmaxus.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt4PfxJSM9QIVy-h3Ch0dnwCqEAAYASAAEgKx_fD_BwE

Interesting video. This is what I would like to do

A dealer I was chatting to said there might be changes to the OLEV grant in the November budget. Of course it could go back up too! It does have an impact on how dealers set their prices too as well as obviously the consumer. Anyone heard anything?

I’ve noticed some advocates of coasting in threads. Others don’t see the point. I thought it would be interesting to see how many actually use it. You can select up to 3 answers.

Nice to see aviation getting in on the electric scene.

Does anyone on here know and recommend any businesses that do quality underbody rust treatment? Maybe there are some on here already. I sense a big oportunity to do a good job at the right price on the MG - most owners would love to keep their car longer term - me included! Please comment and...

It’s that time when clocks go forward. My car clock is set to gps auto-update - but has not updated for some reason. Anyone else had this?
