Yes - I knew the naming is not entirely obvious but just used "fast" in the colloquial "does it quickly" sense.

Anyone care to assess the reputational damage of being seen to be more concerned about reputational damage than truth, justice, honesty? Revealed: UK concealed failure to alert EU over 75,000 criminal convictions Officials feared ‘reputational impact’ of error in which details of crimes by...

Play a recording. Anyone outside the immediate area would only hear it over a speaker - e.g. on TV or radio - so why the fuss? Or not. Nothing to celebrate IMHO.

Which would severely reduce spontaneity. I might have enough to round trip Swansea but should I decide on Cardiff or Bristol instead... (Yes, I do realise that even hiring an extra battery would have its impact. But possibly less difficulty than a whole vehicle.) A fully swappable battery...

When is someone going to see fit to launch a recall petition in Uxbridge and South Ruislip? Obviously, there is plenty of scope for more broken promises before it is done. But it would be such a good way for him to disappear. (Assuming self-removal by any means doesn't do so first.)

It is a sensible option, I agree. It would be especially good if you could buy the small battery and hire an additional battery to upgrade to medium or large on an ad hoc basis. (Obviously, that would depend on it being straightforward enough to slot a second/third battery in.)

Will probably end up with us getting even more old, decrepit, smoking vans down here... :( Have to be fair to the council here, they have quite a few charging bays in their car park.

I think VW were going on about having three battery capacities with the largest having about double the potential range. But everything appears to be mentioning/promising the highest range but only even tentatively offering the shortest. (Not that they don't say that but you do have to read...

With GBP on the slide, again. Petrol up to 129.9. (I paid just 119.9 recently so that is a huge increase.)

I was reading something about computer lithium batteries recently where the view was very much to add the percentage charges up. (Think it was Apple, but might have been archive rather than current.) But many computers and phones do their damnedest to avoid both absolute flattening and 100%...

If I were a senior civil servant, especially if approaching reasonable retirement age or with alternative prospects, "leave them to it" would be echoing round my brain. Of course, there might be ethical and moral issues about doing so, as well as emotional.

Lots of the older vans are approaching antique! Mind, some will be petrol. But I have never knowingly seen any vehicle stopped for smoke. Back an awful lot of years, I think it was Tomorrow's World had a piece about identifying dirty exhausts from the side of the road. I think it was some...

I'm looking forward to significant numbers of electric vans. We seem to have a disporportionately high number of vans round here - of the generally Transit type as well as untold VW transporters and the like. Will be delighted to see fewer of their blackly smoking exhausts.

I suspect that their advantages over pure petrol in stop-go traffic and lots of very short hops might give them a bit more life yet. And some countries might have even fewer chargers than the UK. But, overall, yes, they are probably on a downward curve.

It might have escaped your notice, but "not driving" is less polluting than "driving whenever possible" - even if the other vehicle were as frugal as an electric bike. You can also reduce CO2 emissions by switching off computers, routers, etc.

Well-known, predictable and predicted, but a surprise and a shock to some, I'm sure: Carmakers could pull models from the UK, the automotive industry has warned, as the British taste for polluting vehicles clashes with the difficulty of meeting post-Brexit carbon dioxide limits. Under new EU...

Might have been listening to a song?

The brexit festival: In his first interview as the director of Festival 2022, Martin Green said the aims would be to bring the nation together, showcase British creativity, and on a basic level bring some “joy, hope and happiness”. Got just the thing to play - "An die Freude" to music by...

The only date I could see on that page was 2018. And it promised The full report, From Project Fear to Project Prosperity, will be published in the autumn. That report has a date of 15th August 2017...

I get the impression that Starmer has actually taken on board some lessons over the years. Unlike some others (not just Labour leadership but everywhere).
