My Peugeot will start stopping services after abut 15 minutes of the engine being turned off.. Diesels need s lot of cranking power. Services like headlights, radio, phone charger.

Not so you would think. The majority of e cars will be away from home, during the day, returning to the nest at nightfall. Now there is a value in that daytime photovoltaic electricity is sold on to the utilities at a premium,whereas the night rate electricity is at a discount rate. If the...

Yes it is but the reason ..why did it bother moving that section over 6 years ago.?

flecc, I have been reading your advocacy for ecars with interest, whereas 10 miles emergency range and selecting times , routes ,stop over places can fit into a retired or semi retired semi urban life, it will not work out elsewhere. Even in my circumstances.. also in the retired category, I...

Good on you.. this is the kind detailed information,you were famous for back in the day.

It makes more sense both economically and environmentally to retain my 9 year old 130,000 mile Diesel indefinitely,until sometime major happens ,like a gearbox, and use the ebike for local use and the bus & trains for intercity

I suspect the economic case will come pretty soon. The current models, including the Leaf are very snazzy devices ,but soon there will be the equivalent of the Dacia Duster .. economy not style

Electric cars are just not there for me yet..I wish it were otherwise. My trips to France typically require 350 miles journey through Ireland and then Western France,. Once there the electric car would be fine. Unless there was access on the boat ,..the number of chargers there are very...

Obviously I cannot be held responsible for your thought processes, however shallow or deep they might be. I take the view that every freedom fighter and every patriot is, in someone else's view , a terrorist and an enemy. The tragedy of your process in assessing people you disagree with and...

It is against long established protocol to detain an accredited diplomat once their identity has been established ,30 minutes does not appear to me an excessive delay. You nor I have no idea what is illegal, in any State, except our own.

You will note that the UK ambassador to Iran was detained for approx half an hour yesterday. Parts of the trolling universe has gone ballastic. The facts appear to be that a foreigner ..the ambassador was noticed at an unofficial or illegal or unlegal gathering, and was detained. He would of...

It did, and I fully accept the apology. Matter closed.

It was a loaded question. As a person who has lived these decades here in Ireland, it was an offensive and demeaning question, and I would appreciate an apology!

If you actually want the answer to that you can trawl back through my posts ,where I have given plenty of evidence. Otherwise you can troll. The short answer in NO!.

Grow up!

..and you know this how?

Whatever else I might consider the IRA guilty of, cowardice is not one of them. I think it was Patton who said.. and I paraphrase slightly so as not to offend delicate ears. "Your job as soldiers is not to die for your country ,but to make sure the other guy dies for his". It would have been...

As my mother in law might say "Tis soft the wool grows on you" if you believe that these activities were punished. But they happened. I do agree that conflict like this a dirty business, but made even dirtier by not acknowledging and confronting facts. Violence breeds violence. And yes these...

What are the SAS , SBS, the Paras, and the performance in Afghanistan,? perhaps I can go back to Black and Tans and the hated Auxilaries ,and the threat to visit terrible war on Ireland in 1922,unless we accepted 2/3 of the loaf, which had been voted on in the HoC 6 years earlier No the Aer...

"The dead guy was a key part of a regime which sets up, directs and funds terrorist activities" .Yes , but so also is Pres. Trump, ,Putin, Assad, The Queen of UK, and I am sure I can add about 80 more individuals to that list. So Yes BS ( an appropriate choice of initials)
