Prices of the electricity we use to charge

Charging a disabled old lady £45 "preauthorisation charge" on top of charging her for each leccy charge. Then saying driving outside her 15min zone is "Unusual"! :-(
Call Tom Jones.

Interesting for transport, but even more for "renewables" energy storage. Much of which is wasted coz its produced when available, rather than on demand.

Ecologists hope a new map of our historic hedgerows will lead to better protection for a key wildlife habitat.

Are these councils giving themselves away by "jumping the gunn".

As this has gone full EV, I thought I'd include a link to an article I read today:

Do many EVs use 18650 or 21700 cells? Can we expect abundant cheap lithium-ion cells suitable for ebike batteries flooding the market soon?

It's a test by the government to see if you would try to cheat on fuel tax. If you fail the test by attempting to order, they're going to go through your self-assessment and/or PAYE to see if you've been cheating on that too, which you probably have (in their minds).

They should go after everyone with an ebike for avoiding fuel tax. The entity which melts roads in the UK with it's bike lights is merely rented Intellectual Property, I live in the blissfully tax free Pleiades asterism federation.

Battery passport's coming. I guess these will be the basis of your MOT test. If any parameters go out of spec, it's a fail and you'd need to replace the battery before you can use the car again. Presumably, you'd need a recent test before taking your car abroad.

How nuclear power saved Armenia

Nuclear power helped small countries like Armenia to cut dependence on fossil fuels and autocrats. Europe should do the same.

7x Nissan Leaf 8v cells would go nicely in a ebike/scoot? hehe.

The cost of small PV generators per kw is still expensive and there is a fire risk to roofs. On the other hand, 10kwh and 20kwh home battery storage are becoming very affordable.

Where does Flecc park his Nissan Leaf? Then all I'd need is a can opener...

Not the ideal size and shape for my ebike (my bike care nothing about weight), but I'll keep a keen lookout for low priced high quality batteries intended for cars flooding the online souks.

Very securely. In a block of 50 garages, mine is the only one that has never been broken into through 56 years. I don't use proprietary security for home or garage, only my own unique systems which tend to baffle the crooks.

Nissan's prismatic c ells are excellent but need the right charging system to go with them.

Tesla's current model 3 and model Y models each have been using 7,800 18650 cells recently due to their mass production problems with 21700 and 4680 cells. But I don't believe in them, I think they are entirely the wrong approach for e-car use, as demonstrated by their fires.
