@indy_singh_uk @au_tom_otive @MgbgtH There aren't too many petrol pumps in residential properties....

@au_tom_otive @MgbgtH Honestly, you do the EV cause a disservice by these lies. Petrol stations are around 8,400 Charging locations are around 6,800

The average petrol forecourt dwell time is 7 minutes (yes, it is - I worked for bp). The average fill is circa 20 litres (200 miles). Charging an EV isn’t the same, but 100 miles in 8 minutes shows how vanishingly irrelevant the difference is becoming.

@chargingstatus @notaguru3 @alexlowe30 Audio goes awry on the last 10 mins of the new podcast.

NEW EPISODE: @notaguru3 and @alexlowe30 discuss their recent trip to Frankfurt where they saw what MG is up to with semi-solid state batteries. Also, they both have come down with man-flu and discuss electric vans and pickup trucks as well as the new Changan Deepal S05. 📺 Watch on YouTube - youtu.be/0aqpJkCW_Pw 🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts - apple.co/4v2Kbvg 📚 Show Notes - theinterface.uk/blog-posts/cha… The @chargingstatus podcast is published by @the_interface_

@renewablesmiffy Not to mention getting squeezed by retail supermarket giants....

The greatest impacts on UK farming 1. Extreme weather (2023-2024 19% drop in farming revenue) 2. Cost surge in fossil fuels and fertilisers critical to operating costs 3. Lower commodity prices on some produce 4. Labour shortages 5. Pressures from imports

Renewables now contributes 42.5% of all GB generation. The land mass of wind power almost negligible impact to traditional land use and solar consuming just 0.08% of all land and approx 1.2% of all agricultural land 🧵

@NIStats I'll have 1st dibs on the Ferrari when you eventually sell it...

@AntiEVidiots @g__j We trialled H2 buses here too. 80 BEV and 23 H2. A further order of 100 BEV was made and 1 fewer than 1 of H2. That's how well the H2 bus trial went.

@jovicu @g__j What is the point of that? We know they work. It’s the flipside of all these bus companies doing trials with hydrogen FCEV. All the trials done all around the country prove that H2 is not viable.

Octopus have long pushed for reforms to give people cheap electricity rather than *paying wind farms to switch off* so I’m pleased to see this but… trials are hugely ineffective. Permanent changes would mean you could buy an electric car, or a heat pump or batteries to use power when it’s cheap. Or build a data center, or hydrogen electrolysers or kilns or…. (Of course it’s not windy all the time but average elec costs would be much lower) These would all shift demand far more effectively than we will see in any trial. Indeed, trials could be pretty ineffective without this. The rejection of zonal was to favour generators but giving them certainty. Trials do the exact opposite for users. No certainty so consumers of electricity can’t invest. Which is a shame because an energy transition would see 6x more investment on the consumption side than the generation side, but that side bears far more uncertainty than generators, grids and networks. So - great to see all this “zonal by the back door” stuff - but why not make it permanent immediately so we can have confidence in investing in electrification, and why not go the whole hog and do zonal properly

@NIStats @OranKearney @LimavadyUtdFC @ColeraineFC @BallymenaUnited The devil is in the details...

@bustthetrustni @StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer at Christmas time it went down to 3 for a pown I recall...

@StephenNolan @PeterCinnamond @BBCiPlayer These kids are lucky they don’t remember “Tele” and “Five lighters for a pound”

@ecocars1 @tillathenun @TimsTravels01 @TeslaOwnersUK Noice!

Just stunning this lunchtime 😍

@TaggartJoel Tudor pickled onion were my all time favourite. Spring onion tasty too. I blame Lineker 😂

Tudor Spring Onion and Pickled Onion were sensational crisps. I’d kill for a bag of Tudor Spring onion.

@ecocars1 Home from home.

Come to Spain they said .....( this was yesterday )

@ecocars1 TXZ is my home county - Co. Armagh.

Great EV auction video this week, 3 subscribers bought from Shoreham Vehicle Auctions yesterday too ! ( Public not trade) so I'm pleased my videos give drivers confidence to buy at auction ! youtu.be/qZMrq9X0d6s?si…

@KickingMatch Little and large. Let's see if they can add a large number of points to the little they currently have...

As good as you can get for bottom of the league

@TaggartJoel Already counting the days 'til the next manager is sacked and they haven't even been appointed yet. Thoroughly depressing. Can't remember the last time I have watched a full 90 mins of any Premier league game nevermind a Utd game. Test cricket would probs be a better watch.

If only they’d listened.

@KickingMatch 2 at best.

So, we have games at, Ballymena Carrick Crusaders (plastic) Linfield Portadown How many we reckon will be on?

@DavidMcdaid7 @KickingMatch Totally agree. I rarely watch live football nowadays and pick up highlights (or lowlights 😂) on YouTube if I cN be bothered. Meanwhile I am totally absorbed in what many commentators say is the best NFL season ever. Not for everyone I accept, but I love it.

Football has got so boring to watch. Backwards and sideways passing 😴

@ecocars1 @JudithRalston @notaguru3 @TimsTravels01 @Go_eVUK @EVPuzzle @eV_Newt Home from home.

"The rain in spain falls mainly in ....." ......Mojacar ! @JudithRalston

@ecocars1 Any sign of snow far darn souf?

We've just been around the local Mercadona, 4pm , December 24th. No crazy food grabbing, no crowds !

@KickingMatch Great escape on?

@MClarkeShow @TheScoreNI Which guest were you most nervous about in the build up to the interview?

Recording the final episode of @TheScoreNI later on and going to include an #AskMeAnything segment. Got a question for me? Let me know! 👇
