    Smoking

    And your proof is??? Euro 6 diesels are a far cry from 'ye old smokers' diesels of yesteryear (in fact a E6 diesel seen emmitting ANY smoke at any time is a automatic fail and if seen will be required to undergo an emissions test!!!)- and the new euro 7 spec ones (many diesels already meet the...

    It's actually the truth... Euro 6 standards are VERY tough, but all newer diesels made in the last few years do meet them... The old 'stick a hosepipe in the exhaust' to commit suicide is practically a waste of time trying these days...

    Funnily enough, thats one of the attractive things I like about the BYD over the MG4- they have moved away from the touch screen model doing the switching and have actual switches and controls in them... the touchscreen is still available and is used as the display obviously- but there are...

    A potential scam ?

    Interesting- it was sold as a freehold semi detached terrace house back in 2010 (which was what I used as the basis for my house comment)- so since converted to a shop?

    A potential scam ?

    Very dodgy- they have the paypal listed at the bottom of their page, but not have it in the checkout- (which is a free option to actually implement- I know- cause I got it on mine- the most basic paypal option costs zero per month to have on your website, but you have to pay a fixed fee plus %...

    A potential scam ?

    The address given is a house, rather than an actual shop- but it 'could' be a dropshipper- or it could be a scam... At least I'd be wary- use Paypal- at least you can get the money back if they don't deliver lol (if you look up the registered business address of my hire company on google...

    A potential scam ?

    WOT is a load of crap imho... My current one doesn't even have a WOT rating either- but my old one (which hasn't existed for half a decade) is still up and listed with a 9/10 LOL

    A potential scam ?

    Its only 6 months old, and registered in China However it isn't that unusual to have a different website address to the company name... my old one had a different website name, because the website I wanted was already taken so I used a slightly different website address to the registered...

    There's so little maintenance that needs doing these days- I started with the old Holden six bangers- 'tune up' every few months (plugs and points, oil change every second tuneup at six months, a set of triple webers that you had to fiddle with the tune every month or so to keep it running well...

    Like I said before- I'm looking at buying one soon (and I live offgrid solar in a VERY rural area lol- my place is literally in the middle of bushland)- the two leading contenders atm are the Atto 3 BEV or the Shark hybrid 4wd... (prefer the Atto EV SUV- but its tow capacity is only 1200kg...

    Decided to see what Spectric was replying to... Note that here- every single one of the vehicles except one he listed is well into the 'luxury' pricetag region- almost all nearing $100k Australian!!! Even the cheapest is over $80k onroad... :oops: (which is why LFP is winning the battery...

    The majority of EVs built outside the US these days use LFP cells (thats Lithium Iron Phosphate ie LiFePO4)- at this point the only ones still using NCM outside the US are Tesla,and even then, only in their 'supercar' vehicles, the base models like the Model 3 use LFP... (they have a lower...

    Currently Australia is one of the biggest suppliers of lithium used in EV batteries (the often trotted out by antiEVer's 'kids mine cobalt in Africa' nonsense is just that- cobalt use is practically zero these days, and has been for almost half a decade, with many EV batteries containing none at...

    Actually, there are already 'range booster' trailers commercially available- either extra batteries, or a small diesel generator that either extend your EV's range, or turn it into a 'semi hybrid' for extended trips... Best of both worlds- EV without lugging around a next to useless ICE motor...

    Another Ban on the way?

    Actually it is- pumped hydro is being used in several states here in Australia already, and with more coming online every year... The Tesla 'mega batteries' (actually there are several different manufacturers around) are in the hundred plus megawatt range (150MW output capacity, 200MWh of...

    Modern diesels exhaust is actually 'cleaner' than the air it pulls in in many cities... In many places petrol motors are banned in forklifts used inside warehouses, where diesel or LPG is allowed... But BEV's are far cleaner than either diesels OR petrols...

    Advice on running electrics to shed

    That's the biggest issue with the 'stock' feed in many cases- its installed down to a price- so often direct buried armoured 'just barely big enough for the job'... Then hobbyists add a workshop full of heavier machines, often with several running at once- and that poor little 'barely adequate'...

    Advice on running electrics to shed

    Funnily enough, this popped up in my F/B feed today... A 15m/50ft wound up cord, rated at 13A unwound, but only 5A went left wound up, carrying a 2400W heater (10A) so double its 'wound up rating'!!!- after only ten minutes is running at 85C/184F in the center of the coil... (but still only...
