Moving on...

Amsterdam is packed with EVs — many we don’t even get in the UK. 🇳🇱⚡

I chat to EV expert @electricfelix.bsky.social about Chinese brands, charging, battery swapping, and what China is getting so right. We also swoon over EVs from NIO, Zeekr, and Firefly.

Will Europe catch up?

Fair play Tim. Keep 'er lit....

Time will tell. Happy to remain optimistic but will defo not be driving a grokified car. If it can't be disabled then a used Tesla will not be on my shortlist next time round.

Inevitable but lamentable in equal measure...

How many did you eat?

Ethiopia?

Also do these figures in PHEVs as otherwise China is incorrect?

The Indisputable Maths of Migration How Demography, Not Dinghies, Will Decide Britain’s Future

Jim Radcliffe pissed me off, so I wrote this about the inconvenient truth of migration.

That image must be AI generated as we've hardly seen any broken cloud cover never mind blue sky here in NI for weeks. I'd take cold over wet and miserable any day of the week.🤣

Just like f'in PHEVS...

Who's next? Larry the cat?

Seen one today in Belfast City centre on my way to the train station at home time. Absolutely stunning.

Often at least twice a day...

Makes you wonder how @riversimple.bsky.social are still ploughing their own furrow (at others expense) in Wales with 0 deliveries after nearly 2 decades...

As we say here in Ireland, no doubt Mrs L encouraged you greatly over the years so she could get "her head showered"...

Never stop.

First fjord ice commute of the season.
