Interesting ZEF Mandate

What a coincidence, I watched that this morning, never heard of him before but it was ok
 
When lecy cars can be bought sub £100 then yes id buy, truth is i think its a non runner for almost 90% of uk market.
 
Saw a video recently about electric cars and an owner struggling to part exchange from electric back to petrol or diesel. Nobody wanted his car so a mate suggested 'We buy any car'. I forget the exact details but it was around 3 years old, not a great lot of miles on the clock either. He did as suggested and was offered -------------- £350. :ROFLMAO:
 
That's why we went for the MG self charging hybrid, best of both worlds and the 3rd best selling car now the Fiesta has gone.

According to that video, self charge hybrids is where much of the sales are. Could never understand when the government dropped them as an option, always seemed a good option to me

Possible because it uses a fossil fuel to do the charging unlike a fecking great power station :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
I was monitoring my EV charging, I'm not sure how much the engine does, but regen does a very lot according to the dash meter, I tend to take my foot off as often as possible to save fuel anyway, but now I do it even more so when we're in traffic the engine isn't needed at all, it seems to be very good, range meter is fecking weird though I have pictures of the dash at intervals showing range and miles done from a trip to Leeds yesterday, I'll post them if anyone is interested.
 
I have long advocated that those wind turbines that are despoiling the landscape should be electrolysing water to produce hydrogen and we should be developing ways of storing that hydrogen to use as a fuel in IC engines. The exhaust is water.

They do in some places, and it's easy but expensive to store it due to the way it has to be delivered to users, it relies on hugely high pressures so the tanks are just massive pressure vessels, you can't pump it out of a tank like petrol or diesel or even LPG it has to use the high pressure to go from one storage device to another, a little bit like a Calor bottle releases it's gas, except that is at the point of use, not into another container although that can also be done but not recommended.

Have seen mine go to full ev mode in excess of 80mph on the motorway Kev, was surprised lol

Yes I booted ours on Wednesday I saw the Kw meter hit 94, I hear Liz say slow down, we were doing over 90mph (oops) it dropped into EV as soon as I let go of the gas.

Question looking at the picture below, am I speeding up or slowing down?

Still have all the crap like oil filters and servicing plus ex sys when it goes down, mind you getting rid of a ford was a good move.

That is why I say developing ways of storing. Some have experimented with storing it chemically or absorbing it into other things that can transport it safely. I understand that recently there have been some promising results but not enough money etc is being thrown at the subject.
