It could be one way of clearing stock of old models. Lots of manufacturers do that. They pre-register then discount them quietly through platforms like autotrader or ebay. Teslas have new batteries, all 2026 EVs will have massive boost in performance and range in the autumn for the same money.

Is it time that PIP be mean tested?

All trump thinks about is how to help people (like him) paying less tax. Unlike NewYork (and other blue states) Florida does not charge income tax.

Under Contracts for difference, goverment agrees a strike price with generators, if the distributors (eg Octopus) pay a higher price to the generators (eg Ørsted ), government will get most of the difference. The reverse also applies if the distributors pay less than the strike price, goverment...

They do leave to personal choice. If you work for EDF or SNCF, you could retire at the age of 55 with a reduced pension.

Most western European countries can only afford to pension 15 years after retirement. As life expectancy rises with reduction in pollution and advance in medical care, it's prudent to increase retirement age.

Inside Mahindra EV factory. A bit cheesy but it shows how India is competing against China for the future of car making. @MikelBikel, that factory runs on green electricity, power factor 0.98 so not generating much harmonics, has storage batteries on site recycle and treat water on site...

You will find a livechat button at the bottom right corner of the webpage where you are in contact with Andy.

My rule of thumb is I should be able to lift up my unpowered bike with one hand. I will then know for sure that I can load the bike in the back of my car on my own if I have to. All factory made bikes are compromises, including the Crusa that you bought from me, especially on weight. I would...

As I said, the guy regurgitate irrelevant facts ans fictions. If he did the calculations instead, he would have seen that UPS that datacentres use takes out harmonics from the grid instead of add to. Datacentres have to comply with IEEE519 and EU EN610000-3-2 for their permit. Their servers...

They are cars bought for special projects which have changed or cancelled, so they are surpluses. You have auctions like that in China but they don't have much if any effect on growth of EV sales across the world. Demand for oil seems to have peaked.

Orban did the same before in 2023. He retracted his opposition a little later.

What bike are you talking about?

Why are you interested in a small amount harmonics on AC supply? If a device needs DC supply, harmonics are removed by the ac-dc converter stage. Atherwise, the amount of harmonics generated by the appliance is usually more than the grid's but gets absorbed locally. Incidentally, that guy...

I suppose they have to provide a minimum level of service to help EVs with enough charge to reach the nearest charging stations. With new EV battery packs capable of 2000 miles on one full charge, the diesel backup generators won't be often needed.
