    Then it doesn't matter whether it's an EV or not does it ?

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    The bulk of the car e.g. suspension and mechanicals exactly the same as an ICE car, since they are the same. The battery and motor will outlast the car, there are Teslas out there with over 300,000 miles on the clock and going strong. How many replacement parts and services will an engine have...

    [Misc] Black Friday - what are you hoping to get for an absolute bargain

    I've installed the 'Keepa' extension on my browser and when you look at an item in Amazon it shows the price history within the listing. A bit like an instant Camel Camel Camel without having to do anything.

    [Misc] Electric Cars

    Very few people buy a new car outright, EV or otherwise, they rent it, otherwise known as a lease, or buy on PCP. At this point EVs are hardly any different in price to ICE cars. The second hand market for EVs is getting better and prices there for EVs can be similar to their ICE equivalents...

    No you are not being cynical, just misinformed. I can't be bothered pointing you in the direction of fact checking instead of listening to the FUD.

    [Technology] What's a decent size in inches

    Looking level or down is more comfortable than looking up, plain and simple. Some people I'm told don't consider looking at peoples feet to be shit, however if you have to look up to them, that would be shit. :)

    [Technology] What's a decent size in inches

    The bigger the better, within reason, TVs should fill your view. Viewing distance requirements from TV's have changed. In the old days you had to sit a distance away so you couldn't see the individual pixels and so the picture looked better. Nowadays with good FHD and 4K you can practically...

    [Sussex] Storm Ciaran on its way or here?

    What is it you want to know beyond what you are already being told ? Giving it a name doesn't mean they tell you any less, it just means it's got a name.

    [Sussex] Storm Ciaran on its way or here?

    It wasn't the BBC or any other media outlet that started giving them names, it was the Met Office and BBC simply reported using the given names. The weather presenters used to be Met office employees. Met as in meteorological, not metropolitan. 'The Met Office decided to start giving storms...

    [Misc] GMT and BST.

    At sometime we stuck to BST for a while I believe, can't be bothered Googling it just like the OP. There is more daylight up north during the summer, just think of the Arctic circle from 24 hrs daylight in summer to 24hrs darkness in the winter. - Reason, tilt of earth. - look it up

    [News] Luton Airport fire

    I understand your sentiment but I'm not sure what specifically you are meaning. What are the environmental costs/effects/impact associated with recycling batteries that you are referring to? What are these by-products of the process?

    [News] Luton Airport fire

    So we shouldn't recycle because of the environmental cost ?? If they can recycle 95%* of lithium batteries (not just EV batteries) and then reuse that in building new batteries, which will save on the environmental cost of mining new materials then surely that has to be better for the...

    [News] Luton Airport fire

    At least virtually every part of a battery can be recycled and reused in new batteries. Battery materials like lithium, nickel and cobalt (increasingly not used in EV batteries any more) are infinitely recyclable. The critical materials in lithium-ion EV batteries can be recycled over and over...

    [News] Luton Airport fire

    So much misinformation, where do you get it from, the Sun or the Daily Mail. A Tesla model 3 weighs no more than a BMW 5 series, should we ban all cars over 1800 kg. Complete fallacy tyres wear out quicker. Drive any car like a boy racer and you'll wear them out, drive normally they last just as...

    [News] Luton Airport fire

    Everyone jumping on the EV caused it with no evidence whatsoever. It may be that vehicle zero was an EV but ICV are far more likely to catch fire than an EV. https://www.warpnews.org/transportation/electric-cars-catch-fire-less-often-than-fossil-fuel-cars/ Regarding car park fires have we...
