It’s hard to get the facts and figures but these electric cars aren’t as cheap to run as I thought.
Article says you’d charge up the average car in 20-30 minutes on the forecourt for about £10. Whereas at home this would cost you about half that I think.
Getting a charge point at home costs £1000+
But like I said hard to get the figures.
There will be no choice in twenty years I suspect, though instill think hydrogen is as likely a propellant down the line.
At least with hydrogen, the issues of all the destruction caused by manufacturing and disposing of batteries will be less of an issue.
Making hydrogen will rely on nuclear energy, be it fission or fusion to make it clean.
Anyhow, this is a step in the right direction.
It will get cheaper as it rolls out.
I’d say the jambons and coffee are very unsatisfying at that service station.
It’ll be an M&S with premade £6 wraps that wouldn’t feed a sparrow like every single service station in the UK
I avoid them like the plague though I had a highly entertaining break there with damo parish on the way back from playing Mitchels in a laygue match back in the day. We unexpectedly drew, having been beaten by them in every game for the previous seven or eight years (they absolutely battered us in the replay) cc @Plastic_Paddy @Declan_Moffat
Damo announced at the height of his voice that his sandwich was “dry as a nuns cunt” just as there seemed to be a lull in the general hubbub on the patio. There were some sharp intakes of breath amongst the latte drinkers. We were in high spirits and laughed it off.
Isn’t one of the issues with hydrogen is, if there’s a collision, the explosion would be collosal?
They reckon they’ve solved that. Manufacturing the tanks was the issue (according to an article I read on a plane last year)
Apparently petrol is more explosive than nitroglycerin per unit mass.
A friend of mines brother died in a Tesla crash. Electrical fire was intense with burning battery cells fired out of car.
Are they still at that M7 checkpoint? I’ve a hunch there’ll be an essential journey on the cards this weekend.
Google Maps is suggesting it’s gone.
Where abouts was it. I’ve an essential journey to make myself this weekend. Might go over the gap
Southbound on the Naas Road near the Poitin Still. Gone now I’d say.
If you turn off at junction 4 and come back on at junction 6 you’ll avoid it
Any northbound?
No
You can check in any time you like. But you can never leave
If I’m coming off I’ll go over the gap altogether as I’m heading to Wickla. The gap is grim in winter though.
Waze is your only man for that job. Shows where cop stops are.
Ease of on the pedal today lads.
I was up and down the country last Monday and seen no guards anywhere.It was mart day an all.
