@AutoPap Could definitely see as a Model 3 replacement for me in a few years. Good platform, good tech, good performance and a perfect sporty saloon. I’m in 🫡

Anyone who's my age will probably look at this and wince. However we're not the demographic BMW are appealing to anymore. Do the younger people on here like it?

Did someone say… live notifications and charging progress in dynamic island??? Nice little update to @BeEV_Charging

Isn’t quite true Tim. AC and DC is the same at cell level, as an AC charger goes via the vehicles on-board charger to convert AC-DC to get into the cell. What you do avoid with AC is most of the heat inflicted by higher power charging, which is what causes degradation when prolonged. However, storing at higher SoCs really isn’t the best, AC or DC, even for LFP which only needs full-charging to calibrate the BMS often, since the difference in voltage between empty and full is so small. Key things are don’t store really full or really empty for long periods, and don’t keep hot often. That’s pretty much it. Buffers can hide a lot of degradation, and most car in-built state of health % are bollocks. The only true test to a full depletion test to see how many true kWh you can get out. All that said, BMSs are awesome these days, and even the most abused packs are doing great, so not worth worrying too much about, I’m just a nerd 🔋

Much talk still goes on about charging to 80% and how 100% damaged the battery. Well yes, that is the case on DC rapid charging, but if you charge at home on an AC 7.4kW charger you'll be absolutely fine charging to 100%. Example: Our old Smart ForTwo EQ was charged to 100%, and run down to 5% three or four times a week, for 28,000 miles. I took it to be serviced just before it went back and it had 98% battery capacity. We knew that of course as the range hadn't changed in those 28k miles.

@eV_Newt @BeEV_Charging Love it 🥹🦫💚

Tesla 🐶 went too, with her new @BeEV_Charging Breezy (Justin) Beaver @_james_gee_

Stopped for an hour with the wheelie-bin at the @DorsetEVs meet and saw @fcfanboy ‘s v cool new Merlot 🍷 Renault 4 🥖. Lovely thing. Super comfy seats.

@graeme_cobb @ctrlaltrefuel @eV_Newt second that! maybe a sporty estate too…

@ctrlaltrefuel @eV_Newt Sports saloon cars

Regardless of powertrain, which type of car is your favourite car and why?

@ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging 📦⚡️

Not bad for a decade-old design 🐺🐑⚡️

@ctrlaltrefuel business in the front, party in the back

@_james_gee_ Has Mojo got a hammock? 😍

What’s your thoughts on leaving dogs in cars? Me, I’m not a fan. Maybe for a couple of minutes if I pop in a shop. (I’d never leave one in a warm or hot day) Newt.

Time to unplug 🌲🥾 Model 3 really does soak up the lake district roads… effortlessly fast, nearly 5 miles/kWh, a big boot for bags and a handy frunk for muddy boots. Such a brilliant road tripper⚡️

@MrMikeStanton @BeEV_Charging In fact, the CPID shows it’s MFS, or ‘Mer Fleet Services’, so this’ll continue to be a Mer Fleet charger - not coming to us I’m afraid 😊

@MrMikeStanton @BeEV_Charging If it’s Mer public charging… yeah! If it’s Mer fleet, no. I’ll check

New Mer chargers gone in at Bexleyheath Asda will they be part of the @BeEV_Charging portfolio soon? @_james_gee_

Even gangsters are electrifying 😌⚡️

@ProudBrit19 @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging Who’s that article quoting?

@_james_gee_ @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging Big risk for investors, just as demand for EVs stalls... UK electric vehicle charging firms ‘seeking buyers amid rising costs and tough competition’ theguardian.com/environment/20…

Is this the biggest move in UK public charging this year? @BeEV_Charging and Mer are joining forces — and it could reshape affordable rapid charging across the UK.

@ctrlaltrefuel @ProudBrit19 @BeEV_Charging Let’s talk about it. Common misunderstanding about how the infrastructure sector operates

@ProudBrit19 @BeEV_Charging @_james_gee_ Unfortunately i don’t work in the finance department of every single EV charging company in the United Kingdom

@LewisStanding1 @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging x.com/_james_gee_/st…

@_james_gee_ @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging Might be a reasonable idea to bring the overnight AC fees down to 39p for this reason?

@LewisStanding1 @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging To be completely open with you – this is a result of a phased rollout of the off-peak taking longer than expected. We’re completely on the same page, and hope it won’t be the way for much longer. We’re on it

@_james_gee_ @ctrlaltrefuel @BeEV_Charging Overnight 7pm till 7am its 39p for an ultra rapid charger You've just bought MER who have a lot of colocated AC and DC units in say council car parks. I could potentially use the AC or DC chargers overnight. AC is 45p/KWh DC 39p/KWh You're incentivizing me to block the DC

@ProudBrit19 @motortradenews Good point. We’ll add a few diesel pumps at big hubs for vauxhalls, just in case

@motortradenews I'm not sure that is going to be a great investment. Car giant owner of Vauxhall and Fiat to bring back diesel cars as EV sales fall across major markets gbnews.com/lifestyle/cars…

@66hayles @eV_Newt @TheEvEngineer @Spikebmth Been under wraps for a little while 😶‍🌫️. Super exciting news 😎⚡️

@eV_Newt @TheEvEngineer @Spikebmth @_james_gee_ Excellent news and also that Mer is now Be.ev. You kept that a secret @_james_gee_
