Oh look, EVs aren't to blame for potholes after all.

Petrol & diesel vehicles have been getting increasingly heavy recently, not helped by SUVification. E.g. the petrol Range Rover is nearly a tonne heavier than the Tesla Model 3

Worried about potholes? Get a sensibly sized car

We have 1 final #WhitePaper for you in the #EV series written by Euan McTurk looking at ‘the future of EV Technology’ with too many topics to mention! Members, download it here: ow.ly/vwEp50RgSah To request a copy, non-members email: [email protected] #VRA #Remarketing

Good points by Colin: EVs aren't as heavy as some (including Stellantis' CEO) think they are, and regardless of weight, they have a profoundly positive environmental impact vs vehicles with internal combustion engines.

If I was Stellantis, I'd focus on the CMP's poor efficiency.

Your regular reminder that John Redwood is a scientifically-illiterate attention seeker, not an accurate (or competent, or truthful) source of information.

A week today at #EVInfra I'll be on stage with GRIDSERVE Sustainable Energy's Jerry Stokes, JLR's Marco Landi, V2G guru Claire Miller + ev.energy's Jeremy Yapp to discuss how V2X, super-fast charging + battery advances will impact EV charging. See you in Canary Wharf! City & Financial Global

Even although it's a joke, it'd be pretty cool if all exercise bikes, cross trainers, rowing machines etc in gyms generated electricity.

It'd be even cooler if they showed you how much electricity you were generating and what that could power in terms of household appliances.

I was in esteemed company in the latest IMI podcast, busting EV myths with the best-known EV maintenance specialist in the country Matt Cleevely, and fellow #StopBurningStuff stalwart Quentin Willson. Thanks for the invite!

See you at 1pm on Saturday at the Stop Burning Stuff stand at Everything Electric SHOW & EXPO London ExCeL.

Great to chat with Quentin Willson about all things batteries in the latest #StopBurningStuff podcast.

Going to Everything Electric SHOW & EXPO today? See you at the Stop Burning Stuff stand at 11am and the Gigatheatre at 1:30pm.

Our final podcast of the series launches today and it is a fascinating deep-dive into the world of EV-battery tech. Want to know the latest innovations? Listen here to top expert, Dr Euan McTurk McTurk bit.ly/3PHKRTT

At Everything Electric SHOW & EXPO today? Q&A with Euan on our Stand R2

A fascinating look at the origin story and expansion plans of Scotland's electric intercity bus operator Ember, whose software and operations behind the scenes are just as impressive as their 500km-per-charge electric buses.

Today's breakfast reading: my hot take on the most exciting battery chemistries coming to EVs soon, part of a new series of articles that I've written for ElectricDrives , providing technical insight and mythbusting for the early majority of EV drivers.

Two weeks today, I'll be helping to apply a scientific mindset to the energy transition, so that we can decarbonise electricity and transport as quickly as possible.

Join me at 1:30pm in the Gigatheatre at Everything Electric SHOW & EXPO London ExCeL on Friday 29th March.

Not only is this electric car very cheap, it can also power any 3-pin electrical device through its vehicle-to-load (V2L) socket. Handy for mowing the lawn, using power tools, powering a kettle & stove on a camping trip etc

Oh, and it weighs just 984kg: that's light for any car!

Great progress. Even if electric cars continue to be the subject of increasingly desperate smear stories in the tabloids (who, by the way, are trying to take you for fools), private, heavy-duty, high-mileage fleet operators know that electric vehicles work in the real world.
