Private parking firms rely on drivers folding like a hot Mars Bar under the threat of court action and pressure of intimidating letters. I've had multiple fines for ridiculous stops in carparks and have never paid one. This particular fine was £140 reduced to £70 if paid within…

Can anyone help me out with this please?

The extra battery icon and the house draw isn't happening.

Everything else is correct?

I chatted to a fellow EV owner earlier today who charging his BMW iX on a Tesla Supercharger.

Opposite were a bank of 'other' chargers that I was using. Sadly our MG's don't work with Tesla without a software update.

To fill his iX it cost him £32 and gave him about 240…

The comments are simply mind blowing. Almost every comment is from a man. Almost every comment makes you think that poster is a climatologist. Almost every comment saying 'it's the rhythm of the planet' 'it's the natural cycle' 'one is winter, one is summer' etc get many likes.…

We've popped 200+ miles in to our EV over the weekend and heated all of our hot water.

This is quite literally free and as close to zero carbon as you can get.

Our panels are now 13 years old and still kick out the same as when new. They were also free.

We've used zero…

Just popping a 120k update video together.

Nothing more than tyres and wiper blades.

How do you make a video on these cars remotely interesting when there's nothing to talk about 🤷🏻‍♂️

I thought our cheap EV's were doing well with high mileage.

This Mk1 MG ZS EV is on original equipment, it's an Uber driver and we don't know the SOH, but we will check it next week and update on this.

These were around 20k new and you can now pick them up for under 10k…

Just gonna get this booked in for a new traction battery as it's at 120k. By all accounts, it's scrap!!

Oh, hold on. It's seems to be fine.

Maybe I'll hold off and recheck it in another 2 years and at 240k 🤔

MG Motor UK MG5 for the win 👌🏻

We have another new EV technician on the road.

This is Lee. He's ex-RAC and an ex-Tesla Ranger.

He'll be based near Brighton and will cover the surrounding areas.

His fuel bill is down from £379 to £90pcm. That's almost £3500 annually. You can buy a lot with that!!

I had a good look around it. The BYD Seal is lovely.

I stop at these services regularly and have noticed this creeping up. How long until we're seeing close to £2 litre again.

Luckily when I cover a typical 200+ mile journey it costs us under £4, not the £30+ it would in a diesel.

This is how our EVs are saving us so much…

What's that you say?

1.5 million km/932,000 mile/15 year battery warranty? Guarantee of no degredation for the first 500k.

Admittedly, this is for commercial applications, but CATL supply many manufacturers, including Tesla!!

Tides of change incoming 👌🏻…

I know the wipers are still shonky and this should have been implemented long ago, but Tesla's OTA are awesome.

A Tesla will be at its worst on the day you collect it. From then on, it's ever improving.

That facts don't lie.

EVs are growing globally. In December 2023 1.8m barrels of crude oil were displaced by EV's every day.

Each barely will emit 426.10kgs of CO2. Multiply that by 1.8m barrels and you can see we are saving a lot of CO2 and other emissions attributed to…
