    Leaving the EU

    dry weather and the excitement of Wimbledon season starting up should bring out more young voters, reflecting the polls more acurately. Remainers should win.

    Leaving the EU

    so in poor weather or on a wet day, fewer will vote to remain, we'll vote ourselves out. I suspect the govermnent knew that, they avoided May, hoping the Wimbledon factor is going to favour their side.

    Tesla co-founder says hydrogen fuel cells are a ‘scam’

    Toyota know that demand for their Mirai is 10 times their current production because they sell them currently below costs, they can sit and wait for the performance of PEM cells to go up and price down sufficiently to make profit. The stack of PEM cells on the Mirai currently produces 113KW...

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    I think most sellers would only supply a throttle on individual customers' request. They are not daft enough to leave it plugged in if the customers can do without.

    Leaving the EU

    I would have thought the opposite, a pleasant day would see the remainers win, a wet day would see us out of the EU. If one goes by the undecided panel on Newsnight with Evan Davis, the remainers seem to have the momentum in the last 2 weeks of TV debates.

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    As you said, the situation remains vague. The civil court would be concerned with what amount of compensation is right for the case. Not automatically for the plaintiff because the type approval is lacking.

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    you seem to be at odd with what HelenJ posted in this thread: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/news/twist-go-type-approval-guidance-emerges/ specifically the highlighted line. Clearly, riding a non-approved bike is not the same as riding an illegal bike without throttle.

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    I think the DfT have made this point clear: the customers have nothing to fear. There is no need to be alarmed because you've bought or ride a bike with throttle. The responsibility of making the bike type approved rests with the importers/sellers. Penalties for non-compliance will only be...

    Leaving the EU

    Although I suspect that the BBC is slightly anti-brexit, their reality check website is pretty impartial. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35603388 Current poll status: Remain: 54% Leave: 46% £1 = $1.465, highest since January. I think the value of the Pound is the...

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    according to my sources, nobody at the DfT or the VCA can categorically say what the situation is. In view that the DfT is not anti-throttle, there is an issue of continuation of supply after old 2015 stocks run out. My guess is that the VCA should be ready by the end of this year to issue TA...

    Tesla co-founder says hydrogen fuel cells are a ‘scam’

    we produce already 57 million tonnes of hydrogen a year, growth rate is 10% a year, so scaling up production and distribution is not difficult. The key technology for EVs is energy storage. Everyone likes range, more KWh in the tank. The storage cost for hydrogen is about $2 per KWh. There is no...

    Tesla co-founder says hydrogen fuel cells are a ‘scam’

    but look at the storage system weight, system cost and life expectancy. You can produce hydrogen in the Sahara or at sea and scale up hydrogen distribution probably more cheaply than building nuclear power station.

    Tesla co-founder says hydrogen fuel cells are a ‘scam’

    The progress on hydrogen storage is encouraging: Look at the refuelling time: 2.5 minutes. It has to be better than Lithium battery.
