Irrelevant as far as e-car are concerned. The lithium battery fires all concerned high density small cells like those used in e-bikes, laptops etc. Tesla being the first to create a lithium batteried car unwisely used these in very large numbers too, 6,200 of them in their sports car, and...

So were our post WW2 tanks from the 1950s on, like the Centurian and the Conquerer SP. The used the Rolls Royce Merlin aero engine that powered the Spitfire and Hurricane etc, but in a detuned version for land use. .

Of course, petrol is far worse the diesel, but I was comparing diesel to today's lithium traction batteries and e-vehicles. .

They are easily sufficient. The Citroen Ami is limited to 30 mph, in France no driving licence necessary and 14 year olds can drive them, which is really sensible. Range is generally about 50 miles in summer, plenty for local trips. Scroll down and have a look at all the photos of the concept...

Don't get too excited, it's Italy next, and our record against them at football is rather poor. We were very lucky with that soft penalty last night, lots of referees wouldn't have given it, hence the Danish players fury. .

Looks like a huge USB A ! It's just another of Citroen's odd embellishments, not on the prototype. .

Been going on for years and many of our nationals there have applied for or already adopted German citizenship in response to Brexit. .

You have to be kidding: Burning Trucks Link 2, Drivers and passengers burned to death Loads more online. .

When service stations close isn't relevant. Charge points are available 24/7/365 and most are not yet in service stations anyway, the great majority in an increasing variety of other locations. But as Oyster says, such long distance drivers as you are the exception, not the norm. At least 70%...

£10,000 here, other examples to illustrate like Citroen's little Ami model:

I agree long term, but am looking at the next 30 years which will be a lithium era, if only due to the investment going into that direction. Just look at the truck world, Renault and Volvo are forging ahead with lithium batteried e-trucks now: "Volvo Trucks has revealed details of its three...

Nowhere near as big a fireball as a cars full petrol tank with the energy density of that fuel. And the car tank is across the rear where it's very vulnerable, e-car batteries are underslung centrally and protected by the car's front and rear crumple zones taking the impacts. Time to stop...

It is inevitable that once with the might of the world's motor industry behind it, battery technology progress would be far more rapid. In just nine years since the Nissan Leaf first hit the road, it's battery for the same physical size grew from 24kWh to 63kWh capacity. .

He's do his usual, carry on bluffing it out until it becomes impossible to sustain, all the time hoping for something to turn up. .

He doesn't care. Some 97.9% of us have survived Covid so far. Even if we now suffer on top four times the death rate so far, we'll still have over 97% survivors with the UK Border Force topping up the numbers by picking up cross channel boaters. This is the reality of Britain today, nothing...

I'm sure it's mutual. Science unable to explain Boris Johnson. ;) .

I wish our national anthem had no words to it, preferably no music either. .

As VFR400 mentions, 18mm was a common spanner size for their hub nuts on M12 spindles, see the link below for two of my Bafang motors: http://www.flecc.uk/t/tools.html#bookmark3 .

I'm a bit suspicious about this announcement since their van factory is at Luton and the current Vauxhall e-cars, the e-Corse and e-Mokka are made in Spain and are in any case Peugeot e-car based with body changes for the rebadging. Still my forecast long ago that the Astra production at...

No, nothing like that they've repeatedly confirmed that this is now the normal way to access every time. I have three replies saying this: To access the online service, it is mandatory for customers to verify their identity by answering verification questions from 2 identity sources...
