I would love a heat pump but we are in a modern build that came with a combi boiler and absolutely nowhere to put a hot water tank.

I too remember 62/63, the snow was two thirds up our front door in Brighton. Also remember was it 66/67 when it was similar. Same with the schools walk to school, none of this shutting them down because it's too difficult/dangerous to get to when there's an inch (2.5cm) of snow trying to cover...

I have found that planning is not really required unless you want to take advantage of cheaper prices say at Tesla open to all chargers or specific chargers if you have a subscription. I agree there are hot spots amongst which are some mentioned by @Rolfe Tebay in particular. However if you can...

Best I achieved with my PFL5 was 93kWh at 34%, and sustained at over 70. It was a nice summer day though with temperature 25 degrees. It was full enough before I had time to get my coffee. :D

If you weren't bothered about the remote buttons or using the blade, (i.e. just use for keyless entry and starting the car) would any old cheap transponder key available on eBay for less than a tenner be suitable provided it was 433MHZ ? Or even the packs of just the transponder chips ?

I charged on a public 7kW yesterday and only got half power for most of it starting at 29%. It did ramp up eventually when the battery had warmed up.

Yes, mine seems quite efficient, more so than the 2 MGs I've had but not in the same league as Teslas. Quite often in the not cold ie anywhere from about 15 degrees upward GOM will show 300 and is accurate but this last trip without heater on it reduced to 274 at -2, and then with heater on...

Well we had a completely uneventful trip to Heythrop. We set off the temperature at -2 and it never got above +1. With Heater set on auto after a pre warm, GOM reduced it's estimate to 225 range and so we set off and hit the M1. Mindful of the temperature I decided to moderate speed to 65 on...

Medieval times.

Heading off on a 165 mile adventure this morning. Car is at full and saying range of 271. which must be taking account of the weather, currently -2, but no snow. That's a drop from WLTP of 302. Once the heater goes on that will drop considerably as no heat pump, and the heating will obviously be...

I don't know.

Well if your guys hadn't allied with France.......... :D

Building quality built cars that last doesn't seem to have done Toyota any harm as a business.

Without wanting to get political I wish we could get over the idea that this country has been the worst in history and what we have inflicted on countries throughout the world' We were far from the worst European offenders in the 'slave trade' era for example, and we administered our colonies...

Don't forget the average attention span of some seems to have diminished to less than 10 minutes. :unsure: Short and snappy is the modern way. :)
