This is part of the problem. One anecdote is so much more persuasive than proper information. As to charging it while you drive using more petrol, you'd have to be fairly naive to assume otherwise.

Agreed.

Does soft start suggest it's not an induction motor?

I have the McAllister track saw, cheap and cheerful, but I'm not exactly a power user. When I get round to it, I'll probably buy an ST2800 track, as I'd like to be able to cut a 2440 sheet. I believe they're compatible with the McAllister saw, according to Peter Millard.

It comes from the periods when it is windy. I agree that the solar generation is low in winter, but if we had four times as many solar installations, and more wind turbines, things would be easier.

Completely agree. For a rental company, EVs seem like a strange choice. A few maybe, but right now, a majority of EVs would be like having a majority of "stick shift" vehicles at an American rental company.

Mike's talking about a Fien, not a Fein. It's a fine distinction, I know...

Hard for me to visualise what can be done to minimise vibration transferred to the user, besides making the body more massive. Newton's third law of motion?

What are the two threaded holes? Could you block the bottom one and get some descaler in the top one? Some years back I had a problem with a scaled up shower valve, and I found the isolator valves and turned them off, sucked a bunch of water out by poking a flexible tube down from where the...

There have been several investigations into the myths surrounding EVs, but the two I know of where in the Guardian, and on BBC Radio 4, so a proportion of the anti-EV brigade will give them little credence, no doubt.

I don't have the luxury of my own atomic clock, but have one of the cheaper sort that synchronises to a radio signal that used to come from Rugby, but now comes from somewhere in Cumbria, I believe. I have also watched it spring forward on one occasion. I imagine the falling back is slightly...

So we have a few billion short years to colonise another solar system, or accept our fate. Probably more of a worry for the youngsters.

How is any of that relevant to the ",joke"? If we all drove EVs, and somebody invented the ICE, there wouldn't be a refuelling infrastructure in place. Who would or wouldn't finance it is irrelevant. It's a silly internet meme that appeals to the anti EV community.

Hardly at all, I'd venture to suggest. In these temperatures, unless you're participating in these futile internet arguments outside, any excess hot air should simply result in your central heating having to work less hard.

Very nice! I'd not heard of Polyphant stone before, although the name seemed familiar, so I googled it. Now, if course, I remember seeing the signposts down in Cornwall.

I thought the thrust of that video was that you could make people toe the establishment line, even if they didn't believe it.

Do you?. You said you don't give a monkey's toss what I think!

No, but I'm fairly certain that you know 2+2=4 as well.

For heaven's snakes, that's hardly a insult!

It's a.long time since I read it, but I don't think 2+2=5 according to George, is was a work of fiction.
