Stick to a subject you know. I don't have that Nokia and my lack of signal is confirmed by all my neighbours, also an electrician with an I-phone and the guy who installed the smart meter, his phone a classy Samsung Galaxy. Neighbours and visitors wanting to use their smartphones go outside...

You really don't understand. It's not just cost, consumers cannot provide the necessary space in a lamp post for provision of that high current conversion. And as I posted the infrastructure is not there for full charge rates. We already have thousands of slow chargers, most of them hardly...

No you wont media man. I'm an engineer and do know what I'm talking about. See this reply to Zlatan. .

As an engineeer I know all this Zlatan, and the lamp posts in London are mostly LED now. But turning each lamp post into a mini substation with a transformer to handle 30 amps is impossible , on grounds of cost, space and underground insulation for high voltage feeds. .

You really don't give me much credit do you? I've already obtained SIM cards for all networks and checked them for signal, There's no usable one, and as I posted smart meters dont work here either. It's for terrain reasons, being on the lea of a valley that's blind side to the transmission...

It can be done, we have over 100 lamp post charge points in London now, but they are slow charging at about 10 amps maximum which only slowly tops up. Even then only some lamp post circuits are suitable over small areas. To fully charge today's latest e-cars reliably overnight needs at least...

It makes perfect sense, I haven't got any mobile phone signal in my London Borough home, and I'm far from alone in that. Even in London there are many dead areas with no signal or a one bar signal that frequently drops out. Just see the large numbers who through no usable signal have...

I understand the point you are making, but have to disagree. The behaviour of some of these select committees has often been disgraceful in the ways they've treated witnesses they've called. They are not courts of law and I don't see why anyone should be made a target for abuse by pompous...

In the post you were replying to I mentioned the sales of the Leaf over 300,000. I've just got the latest update, as of this March it's reached over 400,000, still by far the largest sales of any e-car worldwide. .

I had to comment on this. As I've often complained, even in my London borough I haven't even got half a G so don't have a smartphone since it would be of little use. In this country the near future never arrives for more than a small number, our single very short high speed rail route being...

You did far more than that. Even though my post wasn't in any way about remain or leave, like Zlatan you immediately brought my being a remainer into your reply, showing the true reason why you both chose a perceived opportunity to attack. And then you threw in some arrogant and wholely...

Didn't you read my replies to Zlatan, showing that I wasn't picking on all women, or any at all for that matter? And that I respect women and work with and for them. And why haven't you replied similarly to posts where I've attributed negative things to some groups of men with similar...

That's true of all newer e-cars, including mine. As you can appreciate, most cars spend most of their life at a fraction of their possible performance due to speed limits, town use etc., so that allows the lightly used batteries to last a long time. The problem is the odd Teslas that get...

Agreed, but in Britain where we can't repair potholes and nearly all speed cameras are out of use through inability to maintain them, is it likely in more than one or two places? .

They do try, but then get a shock when the car unexpectedly decides to brake sharply for some excuse or other. And as well as that scaring the pants off them, the quite severe regen braking on Eco or B mode scares them too, since it doesn't put on the brake lights in the way the brake pedal...

But not true for almost all e-cars. I've posted elsewhere that Tesla are irresponsible and I'd never buy one. You may have seen how their cars have amazing range and performance for e-cars. The reason is quite simple, they use huge number of high density small cells just like the 18640s in...

nd t I have those too, and use them and I'm not criticising them. It's the additional stuff I have, like the additional sensing that leads to dangerous actions, like the speed limit misreadings that I've described to Oyster, like the lane keeping tech that fails in some angles of bright...

I assume your car if an i.c one uses the brakes to hold the rignt speed? My e-car goes one better, using regen to hold the speed while charging th battery as a bonus, so no brake wear. My car is much better in these respects, but too good it seems. For example, our residential roads are 20...

You compare me to racist football hooligans and now you call me a hypocrite. That is not just bad language, it's offensive. .

They don't have the level three technologies they are thinking of employing, those can be dangerous as I've experienced. And on satellite control in speed limited zones, the methods employed make mistakes as I again can show. Like telling me 60 mph is ok in a 30 mph zone, not because the car...
