Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables.

Come on world, this IS possible!
And it will only get better (meaning: cleaner, healthier, less intrusive) 🎉

This article is well worth a read. There’s a bigger picture than just putting a new battery in your old Leaf.

This is well worth 3 minutes of your time.
Making a positive difference by clearing up shocking amounts of plastic. It looks like there’s growing interest in reusing this collected waste too! 😀

Brilliant!
This warning should be on the front of every single newspaper.

Wasted Wind For a given date, see how much wind power was curtailed in Britain, and how much it might have been worth.

Wow! How am I only discovering this web site now?
Hopefully we can work out how to make use of this free, clean energy.

YouTube video by Edd China Edd China Reveals the Shocking Truth About EV Battery Repair

Great video from Edd. The more garages there are with the ability to repair Leaf batteries, the longer these great little cars can stay on the road. I’m thinking one of these may be an ideal first car when my kids learn to drive.

Cheers, that’s probably in line with what I expected but great to have your thoughts.

You make a good point about nothing to scare people new to EVs. I’m fortunate enough to have a Model Y but the ‘everything on a screen’ design has horrified some family members!

That actually looks pretty good and well proportioned.

No questions as such but what are your first impressions? What surprises you about the car (both good and bad). How’s the build quality, economics and space in the back?

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

UK imports of US fracked gas will soar if Labour’s #CCS plans go ahead—which are mostly about new gas power stations and blue hydrogen plants.
The Gov must listen to the scientists and go all out for renewables instead.

I’m hoping these guys get their replacement (thermally managed) battery into production.

That should make a great video. I assume the company providing the replacement battery will do a part exchange? This will demonstrate that there is value in old battery packs.
