Car industry set to meet EV sales targets in 2024: analysis
Based on November car sales data published today, the UK’s car industry is on course to reach the ZEV Mandate target in its first year
Ah. So car manufacturers look like they are going to hit their Zero Emissions Vehicle targets for this year, after all.
A key point gets forgotten in the coverage: sales of low (not just zero) emission vehicles also count towards the target

@simoninsuffolk.bsky.social Hi Simon, @johnevigar.bsky.social suggested I write to ask if you by any chance have photos of the Bacon-Butts memorial at Redgrave church? I'm trying to identify the unfinished coat of arms on this 1588 map of Southwold. Many thanks if you can help. Nichola

Hi @johnevigar.bsky.social, love your posts. Wonder if you could help - do you perchance have photos of the memorial to Sir Nicholas Bacon & his wife Anne Butts at Redgrave church, Suffolk? I'm trying to identify the coat of arms on this dear little 1588 map of Southwold, & hope Redgrave might help!

I left X! I did it and I find I'm in no pain - most of you seem to be here in the blue sky. So, Elon duck, ta-ta, farewell, goodbyee and good riddance.

Help @bsky.app my feed is infected with cat pictures. I don't want them - what can I do to teach your algorithm? I didn't have this problem with X (which I left yesterday).
