Yes, I missed that post on 1st viewing (that's the problem of replying to a comment in the middle of a thread, as it takes you to the end when you reply). VW have gone 'all in' when it comes to EVs, and if they can get their battery recycling working then that would be amazing. With regard...

One of the reasons why EV lease deals are cheaper now than they were a couple of years ago is because the residual value of EVs in particular has proven to be considerably higher than expected. From what I understand a large driver of the monthly lease cost is to cover the depreciation over...

I'm not 100% sure when was the last time any UK electricity was generated using Oil, but it wasn't this year https://grid.iamkate.com/ Gas is the only real Fossil fuel powered generation method of any significance, as the charts on the link show. Re Lithium battery recycling, I know Tesla...

In terms of 'cheap' EVs the Chinese are seemingly way ahead of the rest of the world. For example, BYD are going to be launching this onto the world soon. And I'd expect it to sell at between 12-14k new. They are just 1 of a number of Chinese manufacturers who have been developing and...

The availability of parking and the mix of houses with / without driveways are very different in Worthing to Brighton. I can imagine there are large parts of Brighton where the ability to park in front of your house is impossible. However, you'd hope a green council would be working to...

I think Audax is referring to Vehicle to Grid technology, which would allow home EV batteries to be connected to the grid to allow 2 way energy transfer. This would mean that your car, which might have a battery of 70 or 80kwh can be used to balance the grid during periods of low or high demand...

Most supermarkets have free charge points. Most Tesco stores have recently had free EV charging points installed, provided by VW: See here https://pod-point.com/rollout/tesco-ev-charging Which means you can charge your car for free whilst you shop. I know this won't replace charging at home...
