@GoGreenAutos Have you noticed any progress with Applegreen/welcome break M40 ? Thanks

The EV chargers at the Oxford Redbridge Park & Ride will be closing for two weeks from Monday 14th July to Friday 25th July 2025. This includes the Tesla Superchargers, Fastned rapid chargers and the Wanea AC chargers. youtu.be/ey48Qh6mOgM

@itskyleconner My TM3LR is 4 years old in March, 25k miles. I’ve been looking at 3 year old Taycan ST/CS .. do I hold for this (I’d only buy used) / buy a nearly new Highland while I wait or just steam in with a pre-facelift Taycan? I’ll be watching those tests ! I’ll use it for road tripping

Btw and I’ve seen higher power at 60% as well. Full curve coming tomorrow. I have everything logged 😯 C R A Z Y!!

Prototype testing …. ⚡️

@electricfelix You know what we say in cycling ? 'Never trust a Dutchman" :)

Three Dutchies Blocking IONITY Vilvoorde All Night Reported by Marc Hermans 📸

@IoniqLisa I'm hanging off until the facelift is released in a few months to see what that brings and how much of it (PCM updates) trickles down to the "old" car. Rumoured battery capacity and efficiency improvements might impact used values.

@humphbecket I've exported 1.62kw this month, 4.62 system, 14 sun power 350's, 5 years old. You can't really extrapolate your numbers over every house in the country.

11 days into Jan (today’s data isn’t included) and I have exported the equivalent of the average daily consumption of 4 homes in the UK. By the end of the month that will be enough electricity to run 1 home for 12 days off grid. Now multiple that by the number of homes in England

@au_tom_otive @angleseycircuit Too noisy ?

Just spotted that decision-makers at @angleseycircuit - in a move about as enlightened as a ladder - have banned electric and hybrid cars from the circuit. Well that’s their future revenues, including virtually all media and PR work, gone, then!

@electricfelix Many thanks

@EGGYMH I recommend PT ;-)

You were looking at a two week rental deal for a four wheeled vehicle in The Netherlands this August? Don't wait a day longer, book now! The e-Niro can be yours for two weeks at less than €300,- Or would you rather JAG it out? Can be yours at no more than €446,- Enjoy the ride!

@electricfelix Are they still offering this ? I’ve got a weeks holiday I need to use before the end of March 🤔

@TheLadySolar Yes the differences at Sixt country per country are amazing: in Spain they have TAYCAN waiting for you yet in Germany no way... And there you have the actual autobahn. I don't understand but I guess it's just ran conservatively in many places. Luckily not in NL nor Spain. ⚡️

@bitcoin1zation @RoamingNorway @kushpatel I travel between Essex and Liguria twice a year in an EV, takes the same time as my 520d did. I'm just not poisoning people along the way and giving revenue to countries with atrocious human rights records. But that's enough about America

@RoamingNorway @kushpatel That's dumb, I travel between Texas and Florida very often, it's 1k miles. If I had to go back home to refill my car I couldn't go further than 100 miles from home. 🤦‍♂️

The new Supercharger dispensers are worse for Tesla drivers: 1. The cables are heavier 2. The cables are less flexible and make it difficult to bend the cable and place the plug where you want it 3. The grip of the holster makes the plug fall onto the ground and gets snow/dirt exposure 4. They’re much taller and opaque, and blocks visibility at the site All while having no power supply improvements.

INCROYABLE Thirteen months of Fast Charging Plug Growth in France tracked by the one and only @dtoulouze 📊 France just crossed the 10.000 plug mark (100kW+ CCS) One year to go from 3000 plugs to 10K+ Congrats to companies like @PowerdotFR (nearly 400 stations) @IECharge (just passed 100+ stations) @go_Electra (soon more stations than IONITY) delivering staggering growth numbers ⚡️⚡️⚡️ #fastcharging #france #growth #infrastructure #MOREPLUGS #HighPowerCharging

@JALowden, @toddington_h 2 lovers of service stations, but only one is named after one .. and building the service stations of the future 😀

@osprey_ian Polite words fail me, best they close down the car parks in the country parks then

Osprey Charging Limited’s plans for electric charging points in Stamford near A1 turned down by South Kesteven District Council: “It will be a magnet for anti-social behaviour with people driving in and doing things they shouldn’t be.” 😐 lincsonline.co.uk/stamford/news/…

@TeslaOwnersUK @TeslaCharging @electricfelix Oh, no I didn’t, not Luton … I’ll get my coat

@TeslaOwnersUK @TeslaCharging @electricfelix I spoke to soon 🤦‍♂️

Lifton 16 x V4 Supercharger is now LIVE! These will show in your car or on the app very soon! Where next for @TeslaCharging?

@electricfelix Luton is open apparently, not seen a pic. On the app but not on ZapMap

@Fastned The A12, a well known Dutch migration route 😀

Canopies in Colchester 📍 Disco Ball ON for Colchester Northern Gateway 🪩🇬🇧 We’ve got 8 charging spots of up to 300kW located just off the A12 waiting to charge your EVs 🚗🔌

@ManMadeMoon Nice one, see you on the Tube

@RSymonsLTD No idea , let’s just say I don’t even think about the cost of charging

Feedback for tonight’s talk Question 2; Tell me roughly how much you’ve saved annually by switching to EV at home/in your fleet at work….

@CurlyRunnerEric @wholemars Not in my 2020 LR it’s not, almost unusable thanks to phantom braking.

@wholemars Even just bog standard AP is nice, activate it, keep some torque on the wheel and relax.

Long distance travel in my Tesla is incredible. I just punch in the destination. It plans out all the stops in nice places. Cheaper than gas. Amazing sound system. And FSD does all the driving for me. It’s the best road trip experience in the world. Few understand this.

@wholemars I agree apart from the FSD, which to be fair I don’t have, but AP is so poor I’m not paying for FSD. Route planning, cheap reliable charging, efficiency, bingo. Easy peasy 😀
