Smart meters ars supposed to allow the grid to buffer excess production from renewables into domestic EVs in the future. But also to take it back when needed. How good will that be to discover your supplier took your drive to work fuel?

In working on larger scale construction sites I would need to take more tools with me than I could carry (The smaller footprint given to site storage, with as much squeezed into the site as possible, just in time if poss etc means no room often to leave things there, and not sensible if I'm...

Sorry.

D_W from A Study on Real-Life Tesla Battery Deterioration you seem to be right about Tesla :)

In trying to find the article I mentioned where a secondhand EV buyer ended up with not being able to buy a replacement battery turning the whole car into landfill or a chicken shed I did stumble across an article about the Leaf 40KW battery losing capacity on each charge considerably more...

I'd love a lathe at some point, looking on ebay this one says it can be posted for £9.02 :)...

TominDales my point was meant to be more general spurred by a specific case I'd read about a few months back, how do you know that with the oft quoted rapid increase in performance in EVs that in the near future your older EV battery will still be available? That makes a hybrid more attractive...

Was it Clarkson who suggested to get all drivers to actually pay attention replace airbags with a spike pointing at your chest :)

A friend has a hybrid which costs not very much to charge via a 13amp plug. Most of their trips are local so have gone weeks on leccy only, even with something like a 45 mile range. Longer trips it uses a perfectly suitable ICE. The purchase cost would be huge but for him it works well. One...

That is rubbish. I'm sure one is fine until you crash, so, top tip, don't crash :)

Round here there seem to be very few private EVs, but quite a few charging points. New projects seem to have them regardless of not a lot of local demand. I would think there are plenty of firms who would want to have EVs to be seen to be doing their bit hence a flipping great US pickup modified...

I bought some LED strips in Costco a few years ago and they are, imho, very good. Suspend from roof, hanging chain to switch on, long lead, fixed plug and very bright for craft and workshop type things. I saw them and bought them without looking into the colour, less white may be usefull but I...

Colne Valley Railway, enthuriast run, isn't miles from you, worth an ask?

Would that be one way to define infinity; how many pencils do you need to buy and then lose so everywhere you could lose one had a pencil in it already, so, no more lost pencils and one always to hand :) When I was on site with a level book I always had a decent 0.5mm propelling job, plus of...

If my lawn looked as good as that no way would I dig it up ;)

Chatting with a rentokill rep a few years ago he saw our bug zapper in our kitchen and suggested that's not advised cos when the flies get zapped the exploding bits can carry some distance, not good near food prep. So we swapped to a similar light in front of a sheet of bug paper in one combined...

Snipped As I said in post 834 here; ONS " Death certification as involving COVID-19 does not depend on a positive test. " PHE "....all deaths where a positive test for COVID-19 has been confirmed"

UK news article today says "Just 15 people among the 58,000 who took part in government run trials for re-opening large events tested positive for Covid" "The trials included the FA Cup final and a semi final at Wembley, the Brit awards at the O2 arena in London and DJ sets at the Circus...

Surely your immune system is what gives you immunity? If it's not performing well due to underlying conditions then it may need a boost via a vaccine.

I have become quite a fan of Ivor Cummins. Some of his YT presentations put some big question marks over what is happening now, as do some of his knowledgable even esteemed but it seems not so mainstream guests.
