    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    Every time I stop at the channel tunnel terminal, I can't help but notice that the row of Tesla fast chargers, each and every one, stand idle with nobody needing them. It's not just at the tunnel or ferries terminals, the chargers in Southend, in London Road, a stone throw from my shop, stand...

    'And Europe will find itself locked into a toxic loop as Chinese-built EVs flood in'. You should blame Elon Musk and our capitalism for that. We don't mind where Elon has his cars made, as long as Tesla share price goes up year after year. He reckons Tesla share will be worth 3 times what it is...

    You don't need fast charging in most cases, 10kw charging is enough. All it needs is for the cars to negotiate between them when to charge.

    Most people live near where they work, use their cars less than 15 miles a day. How long does it take to push 3-4 kwh into their battery? The rest of the battery's capacity can be rented to the national grid to balance the grid. The problem with the grid lies more in connecting new wind and...

    there are plenty of brand new, unsold electric cars in the world but not 13 millions of them in China. The point is in less than 30 years, most cars on the road will be pure electric.

    Woosh BBTS 68mm kit starts shipping

    you have to use the supplied crank and spider because they are made to action the torque sensor. The supplied chainring is made to BCD system and can be easily removed and replaced.

    Curious about the difference between allowed wattage for 250W LPM ebikes and normal EU ebike legislation

    It's not just the label. In case the police or the insurance company asks you for a certificate of conformity, who is going to supply it if you make your own label?

    I intend to use gas filled solar tubes in my garden to heat the sand, so it's entirely passive except for the pumps

    I am mulling over using a sand battery to store heat during the day and use it for underfloor heating at night. Would that make economic sense?

    Curious about the difference between allowed wattage for 250W LPM ebikes and normal EU ebike legislation

    If you have not derestricted your bike, your motor will deliver less than 250W continuous on a flat road and on throttle to maintain 25kph. The problem arises only when people derestrict their bikes.

    I think it would. The current SMR plan from RR does not mention cooperation with China but we know by experience that it would be inevitable. There are too many competitors vying for contracts, cooperation with other countries or companies is necessary. China has the production capability in...

    China has production cost of its nuclear power at around 5.5 us cents per KWH. SMRs are supposed to keep production cost low so I have high hope that it'll be true.

    SMR is the general concept for installation, maintenance and decommissioning. SMRs can bring production cost down to the level of wind and solar. I am pretty sure that companies like RR can bring a few good recipes to the party.

    Tesla makes their cars in China and soon in Mexico and India, RR makes money on servicing so why not manufacture in China?
