  1. Was chatting to a van driver the other day, he had fitted some 'nice' wheels (actually is a red light to me if I see non standard wheels, especially on a van), the dash lit up that he had 'low tyre pressure. Apparently this is common and has to have the ECU/Sensors recalibrated. Good I say as that red light to means a twat is driving.
  2. The physics behind heating system is, at worse, so low that a 12 year old probably learns it at school.
  3. There are a number of factors that govern PV yeild. I am black and proud (well on that map).
  4. Most car journeys are really quite short, hardly seem worth manufacturing extra battery packs, building an infrastructure for the extraordinary journey. Battery technology in its current form is only about 30 years old, shall we remind ourselves what cars in the 1920's were like. Now let us look at what an EV from the 1990s was like.
  5. What you need next door is a company that needs low temperature process, so a commercial laundry, or drying facilities like grain drying.
  6. I would worry about what sort of 'data' is being moved around.
  7. We are not going to wake up tomorrow with nothing but EVs in all our drives. 2021 there were about 190k, 2022 270k, 2023 315k, 2024 382k and 2025 (TD) 386k. So still going to take a while.
  8. I filled up today, well put 30 litres in. The car in front of me was already filling up, was ten minutes before they came back to the car (with coffees), then 4 minutes before they pulled away. I filled up in 3 minutes (pay at pump). So a total of 17 minutes. Now a 150 kW charger could probably pump in 40 kWh in that time, so about 160 miles. I looked at this a few years back, worked out that we could charge 3.5 million cars without any changes (apart from charging points), and 7.5 million cars with minor changes, but all without adding capacity or infrastructure. I posted it up here somewhere.
  9. Never had any incentives attached to it, but planned conditions, until recently, meant you needed permission.
  10. A place that you pass through often then.
  11. I turned my wipers on at 4:55, and turned them off at 18:02, 617 miles in the (expletive deleted)ing rain, which was at its worst around Bristol. Avonmouth bridge was well soggy.
  12. There will be quite a bit of air in the mixture, and over time it will shrink a bit. Some things are not worth modelling, just get some materials in and start mixing. Now I assume you are thinking of a standard imperial oil drum (45 imp gal) as opposed to a US oil drum (55 US gal, or 46 imp gal). Or somewhere between 205 and 208 litres. I used to listen to 208 MW when I lived in France, was one of the only English speaking music channels we could get.
