@janrosenow Yes, but…when EVs do breakdown garage services often cannot diagnose the problem and customers wait many weeks, perhaps months for a solution. A lack of previous experience, knowledge and skilled EV technicians. @WhichUK @NissanUK

Yesterday I shared data from Germany showing that EVs break down significantly less often compared to ICE vehicles. Here's data from the UK confirming this. motorfinanceonline.com/news/evs-are-5…

Unthinkable just 10 years ago: Almost 3/4 of the EU’s electricity in 2024 was from renewable energy sources and nuclear. Gas and coal electricity generation is at record low levels.

NEW DATA: 46.9% of EU electricity in 2024 came from renewables says @EU_Eurostat 🏆 Top performers: 🇩🇰 Denmark – 88.4% (mostly wind) 🇵🇹 Portugal – 87.5% (wind + hydro) 🇭🇷 Croatia – 73.7% (mostly hydro) ⬇ Lowest shares: 🇱🇺 Luxembourg – 5.1% 🇲🇹 Malta – 15.1% 🇨🇿 Czechia – 15.9%

Many people saying "its the interest rates that are the killer" actually thats not true. These new Plan 5 loans interest is set at the rate of inflation, that seems good but it distracted from the killer changes to this cohort of students... 1. The repayment threshold was lowered to £25,000 so people start repaying on lower incomes 2. Repayments last 40 years not thirty years. For many this effectively increased what they'd likely repay by very roughly around 50% (barring very high earners who'd repay less due to lower interest and the fact they'd have cleared early anyway). It was a huge stealth rise that many missed, as its tough to explain and people focus on tuition fees (the recent rise in which had trivial impact compared to these changes).

AI tools like ChatGPT are great for ideas & tasks, but beware of #AI hallucinations! They predict words, not meaning, leading to convincing but false info. Always verify with trusted sources! #BeAIware #AIEthics #AIsafety
