@KKriegeBlog "gassenfeuer" = Street Fighting?

The combat sequences in the Prussian section are, if anything, better. They show Prussian troops engaged in gassenfeuer to defend a village, as well as utilizing buildings and firing from windows. 12/16

A thread on the battle scenes in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 Barry Lyndon. The film turns 50 this year. In many ways, I think war films set in this period might have regressed in quality. These battle scenes from 1975 are better than anything we have had since. 1/16 🧵

@kerbocharge Sidewalks? Pavements? GetOuttaHere🤌🏼 Footways 👌🏼

Love some of these site photos of real sidewalks and pavements that were not perfectly flat or smooth, and our flexible cable channel was able to match safe and flush in just a 1 hour installation to let customers save 5x to 10x on their #ev charging:

@Gill_Nowell @EVAEOfficial @WomenDriveEV Poor effort by the driver. Could do better on multiple counts.

@njbirse @GoodladAndrew @electricfelix Plus seeing them used and that there's space for them, if they switched to an EV.

@GoodladAndrew @chiefrudiger @electricfelix thrilled to hear this - think seeing rapid chargers is reassuring for us EV lot, and also makes it less mysterious to ICE drivers.

Do not understand how this company keeps pushing 4-stall-sites #alwaysbecharging wonder what they cost would you, at £ 0,65/kWh?

@electricfelix Check what they've actually secured Planning Permission for - they've only actually installs a % of the number they have consent for at this site & at least 1 other I'm aware of. The balance may follow (without need for 2nd Planning Application) as demand increases.

@AndrewGilmour @electricfelix Their (relatively old) Planning Application was for 8× bays, IIRC.

@njbirse @electricfelix Me (Model 3), a Model 3 & a Van were all simultaneously charging for a few minutes last week 🤷🏼

@electricfelix not entirely convinced this site will ever see all four stalls in use, it's a nice fill in between Berwick and Edinburgh, but probably not far enough away from anywhere to capture most EVs needing a rapid charge.

@EVA_Scotland Cross footway solutions = Energy sovereignty & security for those without other safe ways to park & charge: eastlothian.gov.uk/news/article/1…

6007 commissioned point on record today with more to come. As always we highlighted the need for equitable charging for those without off street parking. Work on going with SCOTS scotsnet.org.uk/about to achieve standards and policy including cable gulleys and other tech.

Feedback from Oxford on cable gullies at the #EVIESummit: risk in line with, or lower than existing water channels. No reason not to have them, they form part of the solutions matrix for enabling all to have an EV & charge cheaply. @ELCouncil @Edinburgh_CC @FifeCouncil @106Euan

@Stuart_Currie1 @ELCouncil @zap_map You do know how Scottish LAs buy energy via a framework contract at a fixed price for the whole financial year ahead and don't pay the (now lower) wholesale energy price? The per kWh price of ⚡ is also only 1 element of the £ of providing the service: eastlothian.gov.uk/news/article/1…

@Stuart_Currie1 @ELCouncil Lucky East Lothian ranks #4 in the UK outside of Central London in @zap_map / Field Dynamics report (up from #5 last time) for on-street household access to charging sites. About 80-90% of those are priced low at 35p off peak. You know Scottish LAs don't buy wholesale or @ 7p?

@jay_smith08 @ecocars1 @ChargePlaceScot @106Euan @PoletoPoleEV @EVA_Scotland Reminds me of another hotelier's pricing. Turned out it was free for guests (via card borrowed from reception) & advertised as such on site. Only ppl who didn't RTFM therefore paid this kinda... unusual price. Presumably charger in question is here: plugshare.com/location/210472

@ecocars1 @ChargePlaceScot @106Euan @PoletoPoleEV @EVA_Scotland @chiefrudiger 🤨

How 'out of touch' are Acorn Properties? The funniest is the 'slow' charger , im guessing 3kW , £2 for 1st kWh then 75p , overstay fee after 45 minutes 😂, at 3kW power you wont get more than 3kW in 45 mins , bonkers , where's the sence @ChargePlaceScot ??

@martin_rob1 @ChargePlaceScot Cost owners (not host) nothing to maintain chargers & the CPS service is free, yeah?

@ChargePlaceScot It's very disappointing that many of the Chargeplace hosts, mostly Councils, are seeing this a a cashcow ro supplement their income. Charging 0.60kwh for a rapid charger when they are paying less than 0.30 is profiteering. There are less expensive commercial options out there.

📣Tariff Update - 1st August 2024📣 Please note a number of charge point owners have taken the decision to update the tariff rate on their charge points from the 1st August 2024. Tariff Update information is available at the link⬇️ bit.ly/3Sf3Whj

@kerbocharge @CornwallCouncil 😍

📢 We're pleased to say that anyone in Cornwall can now apply for a Kerbo Charge installation! If you live in the Cornwall area, have street parking, and want to charge your EV at home, you can apply directly to the council here 👉 bit.ly/3UXP1tA

@calumbt @106Euan @WattsUp @The_PlugSeeker @thommcg1980 @ELCouncil East Lothian Council doing.

@106Euan @WattsUp @The_PlugSeeker @thommcg1980 @ELCouncil @chiefrudiger I am shocked, CPS doing rapid chargers >50kW

We’ll be adding a new ‘Towing’ filter soon to make it easier to find drive-through charging bays. Where have you found is ideally designed for cars with trailers or caravans? (We’re keen to hear suggestions for both the UK and Ireland!) @The_PlugSeeker @106Euan @thommcg1980

@graeme_cobb Ireland has made this sign mandatory to be displayed at all GAS/Petrol stations/Stores breakingnews.ie/ireland/fillin…

@scotmacman @MarkCTrojan Wait here a few hours, I need to brush up on astrophysics to come back with a scientifically correct analogy. Something about light particles all rushing to change their payment details to Stripe?

@chiefrudiger @MarkCTrojan Hmmmm. Perhaps analogous to some type of organisation with outward bluff and bluster trying not to collapse under the weight of its own incompetence. The Chandrasekhar limit might reflect some critical point beyond which the public can take it no more…
