Epic series, great cast
Shame to have finished the last episode of series 2!
i can't wait for these iconic duos to be on my screen
While someone hesitates, doubts and argues, we have lost another future F-16 pilot...

@WorxUK
Hi. My original Landroid has given up the ghost ( a 2006 model) so had 2 questions
1 Do you have recycling recommendations or instructions
2 I m interested in the Vision M600.. when will the shop open to take orders and deliveries.. it just says estimated Spring 2023
There's a “big lobbying problem” when it comes to carbon capture and storage, given the concept is being used to push for fossil fuel expansion.

UK scientists urge Rishi Sunak to halt new oil and gas developments | Climate crisis | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/29/uk-scientists-rishi-sunak-oil-and-gas-developments-climate-crisis
So, the rumour is that Rosebank oil and gas field will be approved on Thursday, during 'Green' Day aka Energy Security Day aka Powering Up Britain
Why this makes no sense for our energy security, economically, or environmentally ⬇️🧵
@WattsUp @Stadium_MK @AllegoCharging The app could really help solve this conundrum for owners as knowing about the issue requires enough geekiness to seek out this excellent video
An average new owner wont want to great though it is
@rivergecko @evmanuk @The_PlugSeeker @ElecHighway @InstaVoltUK More info on 400 V cars vs 800 V chargers here:
https://youtu.be/9CeUgN0C2zs
@WattsUp @Stadium_MK @AllegoCharging Also would be interested in whether any thought is being given (when a 400v EV is set in the app) to provide users with the correct max charge speed for their 400v car? Some chargers list their 800v speeds but can only ever deliver half that to the majority 400v cars?
@WattsUp @Stadium_MK @AllegoCharging 👍sounds promising
Btw Any word on when we can expect some upgrades to the app?
Esp for user choice on filters for multi charger sites & higher power units so big quick hubs can be found easily?
Maybe a dropdown for each? I’d pick 150kW & 6 as a min
Options from 100kW to 350kW?
Fisker Ocean
First report on when type approval suggests European sales should be allowed on sale by 28th April. WLTP testing seems to be complete.
I imagine Fisker won’t risk manufacturing at scale until they know no changes will be needed before delivery https://www.electrive.com/2023/03/28/fisker-ocean-can-now-be-configured-and-ordered/
The sun shines on the Fisker Ocean’s WLTP range figure.. quite literally on the top versions which also come with an enormous solar roof..
Good news from #Fisker
There’s quite a lot we still don’t know about the #FiskerOcean however we do now know that more expensive versions using the ‘Hyper Range’ battery can manage up to 440 miles on the WLTP combined test, far exceeding previous estimates

Actually when I say EVs are refined at all price points, maybe not the Citroen Ami? Or the Smart for two or four
All eyes on Ed for how Labour would respond to IRA. He's bullish: 'we should match US ambition on climate action and stop moaning' #GAevent
"Raw sewage dumped into rivers across England over 800 times a day, shock data shows."
That's a 3 year daily average of 983 times per day every single day.
"Exceptional situations" anyone?

Smart #3 could be a big seller
Yes, SUV style but dimensions seem set to match a Jaguar e-Pace
Weight & aero needn’t be a disaster
It’s vital, esp as electronic powertrains are refined at all price points, that compact models like this are desirable enough to tempt downsizing
The new Smart #3 will be revealed next month. Here's what we know so far https://www.moveelectric.com/e-cars/new-smart-3-coupe-suv-be-revealed-next-month
Hopefully useful, my latest project
A buyers guide that tells you what other models should be priced at to be remotely competitive with the class leaders. Useful or not, it’s time to set the cat amongst those pigeons
@ElectrifyingCom @FullyChargedShw @evmanuk @EVAEOfficial
Our new buyers guide is out for UK electric cars under £40k RRP.
The new “MyUrbanCar would pay” price is what we think other Models should be priced at in 2023 to offer remotely similar value to the MG4 or Tesla Model 3
