@billothewisp @7Kiwi Of course my previous post was cherry picking, see how that works? Here is another month on an Octopus smart tariff for balance.

@billothewisp @7Kiwi Crikey is your fixed tariff really costing you that much?Here is what I pay on my Octopus smart tariff.

Tell me again Greg about all that cheap 100% renewable electricity.

@7Kiwi David is a believer in freedom and democracy, so long as he can cherry pick data and not show the whole story 🤔

@Artemisfornow Had a heat pump installed in a 1920s stone semi. No additional insulation required, no pipes needed replacing not even a floor board lifted. Some rads needed replacing but there were likely 30+ years old any way. Warm and cosy house.

🔥HEAT PUMPS - What a load of bollocks. From the chemical laden Refrigerant to the constant sound of a vaccine cleaner….. The only winners are the corporations taking your tax as profit! And yes! I have a heat pump. Come with me, let me explain the massive con 🔥

@Artemisfornow Mines costing a fraction of what I payed to heat with oil. If it's not working for you, then your install wasn't designed or installed properly. Most reputable installers such as heat geeks will guarantee the performance.

@Chris_Hill321 @john_oes @EpicWinningMaz @OctopusEnergy Hi John. I've sent you a DM, so as not to hijack Max's thread.

@john_oes @EpicWinningMaz @OctopusEnergy @mduncombe @john_oes might be able to help you with your issue , or get to the correct people to look in to your issue

Disappointed @OctopusEnergy @john_oes it’s taken 6 months to get a radiator replaced after it arrived damaged. Most of the time has spent saying one has been in ordered when it turns out it hadnt. Lots of confusion around the dimensions in stock. Screwfix/B&Q should have stock😅

@andyt5678 @NeilRey61735912 @harrym_vids very true. EVs are just better cars for most of the driving that most people do most of the time. My wife uses her EV for her gardening business and general running around locally, she would never go back. I use my EV in my field sales engineer role, travelling all over UK.

@NeilRey61735912 @harrym_vids lol. Quite apart from the green stuff day to day our EV is a far better daily car than our gas guzzling fun weekend car. Until you’ve actually tried living with one I get it’s hard to understand but for 90% of the time the EV is a far far better option.

Didn’t think I’d ever see Porsche offering discounts of £42,000 to help sell its new cars. Or how about a brand new DS with 40% off list? It’s carnage out there for UK dealers trying to hit the government’s punitive 2024 ZEM..

@Chris_Hill321 @shocky100 @o_burbidge @techpoodle @OctopusEnergy @g__j @shocky100 my HP is designed for 50C @-1.7C. Last night was -1.8C(HP sensor). HP kept the house at 20C with a flow of 33C using the same power input as it does to heat the house at+10C. surely oversized?

@Chris_Hill321 @shocky100 @o_burbidge @techpoodle @OctopusEnergy @g__j hi @shocky100 here is an example of what's its doing at 5C outside temperature.

My design temp of -2 @ 50 degree flow temps are really starting to look silly, I’ve just reduced my heat curve again to stop house over heating , I have had to reduce maximum flow down to 38 and gone 🤪 silly on outside temp -18 to shallow the curve off 🥵🥵 long spikes are HW

@_just169_ @Hallam999 Not me. Best thing I ever done. Here's my trip into the office. At or near the speed limit all the way where traffic allows.

Are EV drivers the new motorway menace? See so many plodding along being over taken by HGV’s or just hogging lanes and holding everyone up ( with steamed up window because the heaters burn electricity 😂😂) Divvies

@rsp_ingram @Genesis_Europe @genesis_eu_pr @AutoExpress @CarbuyerUK @DrivingEVs Yep, long distances no problem. Mines my company car as field applications engineer. Journey to Scotland from Somerset not a problem.

Another 300-odd miles in my electric car yesterday. I thought they were only good for urban errands?

@stuygad @DrMoragKerr @AntiEVidiots Hydrogen is great if you are an oil and gas company as it ties people in to buying fuel from their filling stations at what ever prices the OPEC cartel decides you should pay to maximise their profits. With EVs, the oil and gas companies no longer have control over motorists.

@stuygad @DrMoragKerr @AntiEVidiots FYI, a hydrogen fuel cell car is just a more complex and more expensive EV. The fuel cell generates electricity with is passed to a battery before being used by an electric motor. Hydrogen mostly comes from fossil fuels which explains why it's promoted by oil and gas companies.

Roll up roll up for another novel anti-EV troll/bot. Is that your best A game? Working out whether you’re a Sun or Daily Mail reader Mr Boomer.

@TeslaTim2 @alyssa_zupan Can't disagree 😀 a very underrated EV. The range scares people but for alot of days to day running around its fine. Our Fortwo with the roof down turns more heads than our Model Y.

@alyssa_zupan More content like this please❤️. The SMART EV needs more love

POV: you’re a 130lb puppy driving in a convertible through a canes drive thru 😎

@lakes_eco_van @robertjwhitney Love our Smart. For day to day running around we choose it over our Tesla every time. With the roof down it turns more heads than my Modely Y.

@robertjwhitney The wife’s Smart ForFour charges at 22kW AC and only having a 17.5kWh battery means it’s as fast as some DC charging cars. Excellent and overlooked car.

Lets talk about ac charging. Other than the ZOE what other ev will charge at 22kW ac? And which will charge at 11kW?

@robertjwhitney Our Smart does 22kW. Much underrated car and a soft top EV is bliss.

@olddiesel At the end of the day, the difference makes no odds what so ever to me, I'll get to Scotland in broadly the same amount of time.

@olddiesel Google maps is the best estimate for an ice car ( does not include stops) and when you add a couple of stops to stretch legs, use loo, get a coffee or bite to eat, let's say 2 or 3 20 min stops and both EV and ICE looking pretty similar. Which matches my experience.

You sometimes hear people say...... "I did 1600 miles in short time with very little stops. Can't do it in an EV"....... Surely there's a point where you say - okay how many miles can an EV do in a day. And work from there.
