Do you want a Wallbox Pulsar Max (with installation)? Of course you do! ⚡️ UK only. You must own a home and have an EV (obvs!). Read the T&Cs and enter at misterev.co.uk/wallbox. Good luck! 🤞 youtu.be/_JgC_619JVE

Holidaying charging perfected by Mollie's Motel & Diner - bookable fairly priced EV chargers - why aren’t all hotels with parking doing this. It’s a simple win win.

Giving thanks to Hot Chip for all the music. This year I couldn’t stop listening to Ready For The Floor. #SpotifyWrapped open.spotify.com/artist/37uLId6…

Beware fraudulent lamp post charger barcodes. Dodgy ones are black and white, proper ones green. Feel the corner of sticker with fingernails and peel off. Never use these to pay. Please RT.

Hey myenergi, whoever thought "Added new icons for unpurchased products" was a genius marketing move needs to give their head a wobble. I'm never going to buy a Libbi, I don't need to see an advert for it whenever I open the app. In fact, shit like this is more likely to make

Anyone had a babboe cargo bike stolen in Hammersmith / Fulham / Barney? DM me for location (An unusual choice for joyriders… unfortunate for the owner but a lot less dangerous for all concerned)

For past couple of weeks my Octopus Energy powered ASHP has been hitting a COP (coefficient of performance) = 4.42. Meaning 1kWh of electricity generates 4.42kWh of heat energy for heating & hot water. Very quiet. Very efficient.

Two motorbikes being driven along in central London. One without a licence plate, insurance, a helmet or a valid licence - masquerading (poorly) as a bicycle. On virtually every stretch of road, every day. Why is there absolutely no enforcement of the most basic road laws?

…and someone had commented “people will always find something to complain about” 🤬 Anyway. I’ve cleared it. But I shouldn’t have to. Someone went and marked it out. Someone could have taken them back in. Poor show It's Grim Up North Running

Octopus Energy this week I’ve had 4 Octopus installer electric vans at my house. We have two 7kW charge points… how about covering the cost of charging the vans whilst they sit for 8 hours per day. Would be super convenient for your engineers 😉

Hey Greg Jackson 100% customers would be willing to do this if they weren’t left out of pocket! And drivers wouldn’t need to stop at rapids if still awaiting home chargers or they didn’t have them.

Really great two days hosting the ESCA Cable Awareness Workshop at National Oceanography Centre. I think everybody learned a lot and I got to touch some of the most broken bits of cable I’ve ever seen. Props to Mike Clare for doing all the work and giving me half the credit.

Today's Poll: If you have an electric vehicle (EV), how do you find the experience compared to driving a fuel (petrol/diesel) based one?
