    There are a few issues. VAT on electricity for home users is only 5% so charging at home is pretty cheap at the moment. It’s not surprising that 93% of BEV drivers are charging at home. Currently it’s half the cost per mile compared to ICE if you charge at the cheaper night rate. Charging...

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    None of the people I know with EV’s are rich or could be accused of virtue signalling. They drive them because they are clean, smooth, nice to drive and half the cost per mile of an ICE car. One other guy I met also likes the fact his Tesla Model Y is faster off the lights than any road cars...

    Don’t watch this

    But skip to the end if you want. I love the comment: “I always love how they spend an hour making a "simple" carpentry tool using a whole multitude of non-simple carpentry tools.” 🤣

    Not a Hybrid

    Or an EV, but a Diesel. Which according to *some can’t catch fire? *This includes a supposed ex firefighter who commented on this on social media not long after it happened.

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    1. I just took this screen shot of UK electricity production. You can see that fossil accounts for very little. 2. Just because you don’t like the concept of a smooth, quiet vehicle with zero tailpipe emissions doesn’t make those that do “virtue signallers” that’s just a silly comment. 3...

    Are EV's good value? Apparently not!

    Agreed. Surely we all know by now that Diesel fumes cause lung disease, heart disease and dementia. What type of person would have bought a new Diesel car in the last few years knowing this? Petrol isn’t without issue but it’s a darn sight cleaner than Diesel. People bang on about how clean new...

    O - 60 in 6.3 seconds isn’t bad but the Tesla Model 3 DM LR does it in 4.2 seconds and is nearly £5K cheaper.

    Yes I know. Someone asked an Audi executive once why their cars are virtually the same as the Volkswagen model but an extra 10% more? He replied that the Audi is a “premium” product and that buyers believe they are getting a better car! 😆. I think it was 2013 when Audi came 38th out of 39 in the...

    Oven and Hob on 32A

    I can’t be 100% sure now but a sparky put a new supply in for our oven and it came with a plug top on it. As I remember he just fitted a surface mount socket on the wall behind the oven.

    How not to drill a pen blank or turning your jacobs chuck into a hammer!

    This proves quite nicely that drill chucks can come loose from a Jacobs taper. And it wasn’t even being subjected to a side load. The best advice I’ve seen is to scrupulously clean the male and female tapers before assembly. Gently warm the chuck body a little bit (don’t melt the grease...
