There is no reason why you shouldn't trust the Chinese media or the US media. The tesla model Y sold well over 2 million units so it does not surprise me that the xiaomi YU7 will outsell the model Y when Xiaomi can produce enough of them...

Not 300,000 sold in a day though.

You'll soon run out of arguments against EVs. Xiaomi just released their YU7. 300,000 sold in the first day. Customers have to wait 51 weeks for delivery. We won't get any in Europe until they finish building their new factory. For about the same money as Tesla model Y, the car comes with free...

True enough but Trump did the right thing by charging them tariffs on what they buy. Like Starmer, he's promised to cut taxes and not raise them, his choices are limited. He's just going about it in a haphazard way. He should have said '15% on all imports' and that will be enough to raise 500...

In most situations, the risks are entirely with the EV companies operating the charging points. The forecourt owners risk nothing. That's why they appear to be a bunch of profiteering hypocrites. The point is we gradually buy less petrol and diesel, thy up their margin to compensate. If you...

Most charging points at petrol stations are installed and operated by the EV network companies. The forecourt owners are paid rents. They find a few isolated cases to justify profiteering.

sorry for the diversion, @saneagle this case is why I have not sold KT controllers and stick with Tongsheng, Bafang and Lishui. When you have the facilities to configure the controller to your own liking, you may run into complications like overheating, intermittent faults. I can't see that the...

I was fact checking your table when I came across this interesting video, posted 7 years ago. In view of recent trump bombing Iran, I wonder how soon the Iranians are going to make their nuclear weapons. This series of videos was released 7 years ago. That mockup small nuclear munition is 15cm...

that was the result of Kier Starmer trying to outdo Farage and the Corbynistas in his party at the same time. Starmer does not have clear policies nor principles. He wheels and deals as the situation arises, like with Trump, Netanyahu and Zelinsky. Some like that, many don't. He refused to...

We can't. Politically suicidal to limit spending to income. John major tried that and what happened to him? EU 3% budget deficit is socially acceptable.

The weakness of current ebike batteries is the carbonate organic solvent that is used in the current generation of e-bike batteries, like Dimethyl carbonate (DMC), Diethyl carbonate (DEC), Ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC). The oxygen is in the carbonate. They ignite when the cell enters thermal...

New York state charges between 4% and 10.9% state income tax on a sliding scale on top of federal income tax while Florida charges nothing on your income.

it's clear that CO2 is good if we have the chloroplasts in our cells but we don't. You could die breathing in just 2% of CO2 in a couple of minutes. So CO2 is not good for humans. they clearly need a lot more clean factories than that showroom of a factory. Do you know that worldwide sales of...

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...
