They were using this basis - Our's isn't wildly different to that - i think we are mildly better - we are about 50% gas, 50% renewables (user mileage may vary) They have near the bottom comparative Aussie regions that have more fossil or renewables and it still stacks up pretty well.

Was reading this this morning - well enough laid out and considerate piece about the electric/fossil axis and footprint. TLDR everything after 40,000km in an electric is justifiable when actual build carbon is considered...

...If it was general taxation for whitewater rafting it'd be very much a they - but in Ireland we depend a lot on fuel taxation for our quality of life*. No taxing road electricity is gonna create a financial hole that has to be filled somehow. *distribution of tax is pretty shite but also our...

50% of petrol/diesel is general taxation too - so that'll eventually have to be added to away from home charge rates. It'd be worthwhile saying in the consultation that the electricity price needs to be incentivised until the net zero target for the state is reached. edit: i cant tell if my...

Probably ask for more than you'd expect then soo.

ye folks with expereince of ev's should probably look at the public consultation because you know the oil lobby is gonna have it's goblins all over this kinda thing https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/ambition-for-high-powered-ev-chargers-every-60km-on-irelands-motorway-network-1630352.html

Dug my way to the alternator this evening, and having thrown 12v at it from an actually car battery it seems dead. Gonna see if I can grab one locally on thursday and go from there. Sorta (i know it was a pun). Occasionally stealing UTM's car but mostly biking it.

I've ruled out a fair few things, it's looking like the alternator, I might take that out tomorrrow and see.

I had a non-starter this week which wasn't the end of the world but given i've a little bit of free time I've opted to see if I can do the fix myself. More as it happens..

They bought European design ideas - it was in the (elon musk downfall stalking ann post on the internet) article i found this stupid thing in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Egger

The yangwang u9 comes with crappy dancing mode. They know their market.

Also on a side note when i was doing the youtube reserach to fix things loads of people were doing videos on how to fit a reversing camera on said car. It's a 107/Aygo/C1 - I can essentially reach the back window from the driving seat and just feel where the things behind the car are.

I upgraded to an older more efficient car. When DIY today to sorta few little things. Got past the vital bits grand, then was thinking to put in the bluetooth/radio i lifted from a previous car. Opened the dashboard to find someone had spliced in an entire bluetooth device, complete with...

This kinda has those vibes of times when a product is new and there are 50 useless versions of it that fade into history, except it's happening at the scale of making a whole car each time rather than say, smart glasses from a few years ago that all told might have amounted to few tonnes of...

FFS. FFS.

I've bought toyotas for almost that price

I think they are mosly on the fringes of the cities but yes - once I'm in the sticks I don't really spot many

These things fascinate me for the record, i've probably given 3 hours to watching various review and tech videos about them. They fascinate me in the sense of being a current iconic representation of the late stage capitalism zone that created them. The USP of a tesla to some extent is the...

same here

@pete and a few of ye's driving electric
