It was mentioned on the PodCast last night, towards the end, that B&Q & Egg are in partnership to offer Solar Panels & Battery Storage.

I have searched the ‘net & can’t find anything on it. Is it possible to have a link so I can look into it please? ??

Here is a link, there are multiple articles about this out there:

B&Q to offer roof-mounted solar panels in partnership with Egg

Homeowners interested in buying and fitting solar panels on their roofs could now do so by popping into their local B&Q store as the DIY giant announced it is offering them for the first time.

Thank you. I think the panel seemed to think the Solar & battery install was going to cost £7,500 on the podcast. It seems that is not the case and it will cost over £12,500 for the install including batteries ?

Yes, the headline of the article reviewed on the podcast made it sound like a better deal than it actually is.

Great podcast, lads. Some interesting changes are coming. The 18" tire change is quite significant for EVs. Narrower tires result in a better range. Do you know why the change? Was it to increase comfort and reduce road noise? They are both already quite impressive already imo. Especially on LR Trophy models, the back spoilers already reduce the range by 10-15 miles. Won't larger tires reduce it even more?
