    wondered this myself. They'll have to have municipal ev charge spots that the building management pays for and in turn probably will bill you for. This shit needs implementing now. Few places have it already but they're the usual €1 million euro apartments with every gizmo already installed

    99% of people don't carry a Jerry can and if you're going by a metric of a portable fuel, there's nothing stopping you bringing a charged power bank in your Ev. Bottom line is you just make sure you've enough charge or fuel in your vehicle to reach your destination. Also being able to charge...

    Hearing morons 'oh what if you run out of battery' The simple response is.... what if you run out of diesel? Same issue; user error. 'Oh if everyone got an electric immediately - there's not enough public charging for that' - yeah that won't happen because it's a gradual shift and getting...

    My Da has just offered to sell me his micra as he’s upgrading to some imported Toyota hybrid estate thing next week. We’ve been talking about getting a little runaround for herself until I get the old Mercs up and running again. TBH I’m warming to the idea. Had one about 7 years ago, great car...

    If E-fuel means things like 'bio-diesel' it means it's more expensive than regular diesel but still emits CO2 (although lower levels). They have it in the north and I enquired and it's aimed (currently) at haulage and commercial entities and it ain't cheap! I am looking forward to making our...
