Anyway. For more abt the knotty, fascinating realities underlying the world, check out Material World. Out now in paperback. It's actually about all sorts of other random stuff like sand and salt. But with, I think, some important lessons for all of us. waterstones.com/book/material-…

It happened!!

Richard Wellings Another myth for #StopBurningStuff to quash. @NationalGridESO have already said we have capacity to support an overnight switch to EVs and the roll out of public chargers is ahead of schedule

Ohhh shiny new Ultra-rapid purple location markers 💚⚡#stopburningstuff

More terrible news about electric vehicle adoption in the UK... businessgreen.com/news/4354223/s…

Anyone else see the Channel 5 program last night on ICE vs EV? The lady could've charged at home overnight before their beach race. How does noise factor into performance!? Finally, the cost argument wasn't complete as it didn't factor in running costs

Latest in 'EV sales in the UK are stalling' news: EV sales in August jumped to 22.6% market share Sales in 2024 so far remain over 10% higher than they were at this point in 2023 But yeah, sure, no one wants them

Just my usual monthly tweet to say ICE sales declined y/y again...😂

How desperate do you have to be to go raving in the press about how only the increase (not even the total!) in private new diesel car registrations was higher than the increase in new private EV registrations, when private new car registrations are down almost 10% year-on-year?

I think we're on month number 5 or 6 now of ICE sales declining y/y. Is the media ever going to pick up on this? Or am I missing something!?

Hmm that's weird, I'm sure every BP advert I've seen lately said they were transitioning to clean energies🤔 In fact, they told us they were going Beyond Petroleum... in 2000 Could it be that they are lying scumbags, intent on drilling every drop while treating us like fools?

Musk should've had the robots in the robovan 😂

October new car sales stats out from SMMT In short - sales of EVs up, sales of everything else down EV sales up 24.5% on Oct '23 Petrol sales down 14.2% Diesel sales down 20.5% Sales of hybrids suprisingly down a bit, but year-to-date sales still significantly higher than '23

Simplicity Wins Electric motors (on the left) have fewer parts, wear out less quickly, require less repair and maintenance, have better performance, much lower CO2 generation, and are simply cheaper compared to combustion engines (on the right) and yet legacy car manufacturers

Can someone remind me of the website that shows vehicle mileage data for the UK car parc based on make and model?

Horrific news from bp bp pulse when we're in a climate crisis. Especially on the day when the Climate Change Committee has released their latest report

Rain in the northernmost city on Earth. This month temperatures have been almost always above normal. The Arctic is becoming totally unrecognisable. And in the meantime bp Equinor are doubling down on fossil fuels. Profits over people. Profits over a liveable Earth.

Absolute bell-ends at Ikea Exeter. Both parked in the two charging bays but neither are plugged in. Completely blocking anyone from actually charging.

Question to all Leaf Gen 1 owners / previous owners - how accurate is the range o meter in the car? Would we get 70 miles real world from a gen 1 24kWh in winter!?

The General.of Suffolk. Sure. Nice old belcher. Keep it if you like it. Classic cars are lovely for part time and hobby use. If you’re interested in the answer to your question though, look at its impact from as far back as the exploration and drilling of the oil for the fuel and lubricants inc., oil
