I can’t lie, I’m an ‘ECO Wash’ 🧽 type of guy!

I usually wash 🚿 my own car, as nearest ‘car wash’ 10 miles away. I won’t use a ‘hand car washes’…as I’m not convinced of the ethics 🤔

What do you pick off the car wash menu? Are you just after a basic dish or do you like a bitta "À la carte”?👨‍🍳

How do you charge at home, granny 👵🏻 cable or wallbox?

92% of EV drivers charge from home. However, i read a report recently that said that a larger proportion than I expected use either the Mode Two cable supplied with the car or, they have bought one online, as opposed to a Mode Three wall-box!

There’s not many EV’s around I don’t instantly recognise but, the @omoda.bsky.social E5 was one!

Omoda is a Chinese car brand specialising in crossover SUVs. The brand is a subsidiary of Chery, one of largest auto brands in China! 🍒

I’d love to know your thoughts? ⬇️🙏

5.2 mi/kWh! Absolutley unheard of from me! 🏅

Speed limits in ‘Peak District’ (UK) are max 5️⃣0️⃣ mph & regen opportunities superb but, when I must ‘behave’ to achieve best rnage, it’s good to see I can! 🙌🏽

This was a GV60, and so what’s the best mi/kWh you’ve achieved & in what car and circumstance? 🤔

Classic Wallboxes - some must be approaching two decades old! 🔌
I’m interested to know what Wallboxes people have out there, and especially if you’ve had one of the earlier Wallboxes. And, if you have, I’ve gotta ask, is it still operational or, did it fail you at some point? ⬇️🙏

PHEV’s - is it all nonsense…..
…..when I hear people say that Plug-In Hybrids are an important step in the transition to All-Electric? 🔌🚗⚡️💨

Is it the gateway technology to eutopia (BEV 🔋) I keep hearing….?

Are modern cars "too quiet" inside? 🧏‍♂️

I haven’t got the best hearing in the world but, my wife’s is like a 🦇 and she agreed that she hardly heard the sirens before the ambulance was upon us 🤦

What do you think, are highly insulated vehicle interiors too quiet now? Please feel free to comment ⬇️

EV super-rapid acceleration is another advanced safety feature! 🔌🏎️⚡️

I don’t care if my EV was capped at 90 mph tbh….I rarely drive over 70 😇 but, I like it to have good, instant, acceleration. It’s part of the EV draw to me and I feel a safer driver because of it! 🦺

Battery Swap - so last decade! 👋

The solution many thought the disrupter, is disrupted! ⚰️

HPDC is so fast now, there isn’t a business case for battery swap anymore.

Okay, here’s why: a Zeekr 7X achieves 21-miles-per-minute charging 🏆 Thats 10-80% in under 10 minutes & 0-100% in 20 minutes! 🔋🚀

I Don't Believe It! 🤯

I said to a sparky when he said I needed a 32 amp breaker installed, to enable my wife’s fancy ‘Ceramic Hob’ with built in ‘Extractor’! 👩‍🍳

For the ‘Hob’ that’s the same breaker as if I wanted to connect a 7 kW EV charger to my house! 🔌🚗⚡️

Of course….he was right though! 🤦

My challenge to you is, go walk a mile in your nearest town and see what EV Charging you find, then analyse it, in terms of if it’s actually fit for purpose!

This was my take on it…
