Salient point was though flecc. if you run lithium battery to zero from 100% its good for 500cycles.whereas if you run it from 90 to 20% it seems good for thousands. That point wasnt made when I purchased ebike. They said each charge counts equally... (ie put 50% in and its half a cycle used)...

Sounding more appealing...???

https://insideevs.com/news/368591/electric-car-battery-lifespan Good article. Time will tell.

Could be. I, m keeping my eye on market and would (will) get an EV when possible. I, ve just done a search on ebay, there are about 500 EVs listed. If I want a decent sized estate with under 75k,I,d need to fork out £52k.(There are a few Outlanders on circa £12k but with high mileage and likely...

https://autowise.com/top-7-disadvantages-of-electric-cars/ Good article here. Neither dismissive or too positive.

I dont think Ford have any concern in Mazda, I believe they sold their part ownership a few years ago. I wonder how many are actually ahead of the curve or catering to false beliefs? In another few years, it wouldnt surprise me to see folk saying "hang on a minute". We, ve jumped the gun a bit...

With small camper vans already costing upto £85k I suspect addition of required batteries etc might push them into "out of reach" (or justification) for current owners. I suspect the short term electrification is rather optimistic. Is it proven an electric Campervan would actually be better for...

https://www.engadget.com/amp/2020/01/13/mazda-mx-3-limited-torque/?guccounter=1 Interesting article. It claims Mazda have said long range EV are worse for environment than diesel???

Fair point.

Its not just range flecc its lugging abilty. How many folk tow vans, boats, need vans for storage of motorbikes, windsurf kit, campervans etc etc. I cant envisage any current electric vehicle that would replicate our camper van, full of windsurf kit and often doing 200mile plus journeys???(and...

In interests of lower emiisions etc went for 2 litre Jag. I also have a Boxster s. In two I find Jag more enjoyable. Its lack of outright pace actually makes it more fun. Been saying it for years, modern performance cars are too good/ fast to enjoy. Mazda and a few others are sort of catching...

Agreed, went to NEC Autoshow yesterday. They were racing various classes indoor, the BRSCC "stock cars" have big block chevy engines and the sound was probably biggest part of show. The e racing demo and stall were not well attended.... But we did question how long will this last? They had a 10...

https://f1i.com/news/365695-symonds-greener-two-stroke-future-for-f1-engines.html/amp One for flecc. I, ve been saying this for years. Mercury developed a 2 stroke years ago that could meet and surpass emissions, but in their infinite wisdom 2 stroke outboards were banned. Hope MotoGP do...

But the counter to that is how many has the action saved? A figure that could be zero or thousands. We just dont know.

Perhaps we should see if he wants to reconsider..??

So does Porn,BBC tend to avoid that but not Royals. Crazy. Ambiguity intended.

I dont understand media fascination with Royals. BBC are as bad as any. Tom Bradbury is normally a good interviewer, why is him talking to any Royal made out to be a major news item. Its bonkers. Who the hell are they catering to or for. I dont think I, ve ever met, spoke to, worked with or know...

And, I, m not convinced anymore... They have all gone rather quiet..And although I haven't slogged back through the lot, I believe I, d already discounted Minford's view. Hargreaves was very vocal pre referendum (I believe he contacted every household? He did ours and he was main reason I...

Well what was the problem with the quote? I think the better question is what's your problem? You seem rather annoyed at everything and everybody? Ferguson used to say that Roy Keane could start an argument in an empty house. Who does that remind you of VFR?
