I like the leccy go kart..Good fab skills
Do the panels take long to charge it up in the sun?

I Esp like the diesel? van they carry it around in, lucky it fitted inside, phew, tight, hehe.

(An AM car licence in ireland does allow "light quadricycles". But getting such registered, insured, tax, is irksome & expensive I'd have thought. And they're banning e-scooters here now. As long as they leave my ebike alone, haha. :-/ )

Remember "experts" say ruminants, e.g. bison, fart methane, like cows. Now they "capture carbon". Wait, soon "sceancetists" will tell us they taste like chicken too!

"For David’s “3kw” (the name means 3000-watts), he chose a Lynch motor, the LEM 130-95. It is the more efficient variant of their smallest motor, and it just so happens to be rated at 3.02 kW continuous."

Ahh, but what you are forgetting is, if you swop the petrol/diesel for an EV, then disable your gas central heating, some billionaire can indulge in his hobby.

...

it's more likely that they will take away your car and feed you bugs if you bought an EV. The petrol companies are like cigarette companies, they are so rich that they can easily afford to buy the next president of the USA. Trump asked them for $1 billion for his PAC against the promise that he'll cut them a deal on tax and zero CO2 targets.

Smart meters work for the energy provider not the customer and at the moment seem to have quite a lot of reliability/accuracy issues.

Smart meters and heat pumps could hit households with surge pricing

Households would be charged more at times of peak demand under ‘time of use’ tariffs

heat pumps use the same amount of power as a shower mine is 9kw.

9 kw per hr on what we pay is about £2.30 a hr.

so if i put my heat pump / shower on from 12pm to 10 pm it will cost us 23 quid a day just for the heat pump.

yesterdays bill was £2.90 for everything.

so 2.90+ 23 = 25.90 a day so £669.20 a month.

a mere 8k a year global warming better hurry the fook up not that the uk has enough power for every house to have a heat pump buy 2028 and all the electric cars as well fkn no chance.

no one will buy those 2 houses up the road or rent them out because anyone on low income cant afford to use the heat pumps made buy bosch.



tho i got contractor no 3 to look at my bomb out bathroom today and as he not local and been given this sole job to sort it out because there taking the pi$$ said he can do me a new low powerd shower heated from my new to be installed combi boiler GAS to heat the warter for it

and the old chimney needs to be smashed out as pi$$ing it in with rain via flashing the surveyor also pointed this out to the council and ignored as no planned work for my roof.

there fkn is now and getting all my electrics done next month as well all day job they said.

and they will clean those fkn solar panels if it kills me and got a 3rd party solar installer coming out to look at my fooked up install because i have the 10 year warranty and full control of the inverter but it was made to go outside on a wall not in a loft fkn thing starts derating over 45c its like doing a stress test on a mac book pro in a 80c oven and trying to pump 3kw through it if it dont thermal throttle it will catch my fkn roof on fire

solax has told me the warranty is void unless it is moved because of excessive heat damage to components like capacitors no $hit sherlock
