I’ve got a Wallbox Pulsar Plus, it’s pretty small an unobtrusive and the App works well. You can also operate it/set timers via Bluetooth as well so you’re not relying on Cloud Services etc.

Well, it is the Cotswolds!
I think really, just like Top Gear, you need to put aside 100% realism and remember that it’s meant to be entertainment rather than a documentary about farming, many of...
Hey, you don’t need man maths, just maths!
When I was looking recently at used Taycan’s on the Porsche website, I was struck by the potential huge variance in prices for apparently the same model...
I know what you’re saying. I ran a Golf GTE for 3 years and nearly 100k miles, plugged it in as often as possible and got an average of 78mpg over that time, not bad for a 200bhp hatchback. It was...
They seem to don’t they!
Seems like there’s been a shift up for many established insurers, moving up the price range, but seems to be creating room for new entrants to the market, or new brands...
Indeed! I do love the grand tours, really great to watch.
It’s about this time of year I always think I should get a road bike, but by August I’m back on the mountain bikes! :-D
For some people, hybrids (of the plug in type at least) are the right cars for them.
I’ve been driving a mix of all sorts of cars for the last 12 years, first hybrids, then plug in ones and for...
I believe Vauxhall (so Stellantis) have just announced EVs and ICE will be available at the same monthly PCP rate, they’ve lowered the prices of their EV offerings to do so.

It monitors 12v battery health/voltage, and uses a DC to DC charger to keep it charged from the traction battery if necessary.
Most modern EVs do to be fair, although VW and Hyundai struggled...
A widely held view amongst the profession, so I’m told.
This is where PetPlan seem to be very good, and probably why their premiums are a bit higher, but they seem to not quibble about any legitimate claim.
The vets seem to like them too, you can...
Good on you, rescue dogs are always rewarding.
I do wonder about this term ‘self-insuring’, surely it’s ’not-insuring’ and simply ‘paying’?
This next bit isn’t aimed at you by the way, but...
PMSL AT TESCO…….
Yep, agreed, a good topic for people to think about!
Yes, ‘Flying the Flag for British Agriculture’ wasn’t it, at the British Farming Awards industry bash?
Not saying he hasn’t put farming in the spotlight, but it is but one particular perspective,...
My EV has a WLTP range of 297 miles, I get around 225-270 in my 25k a year driving. About where I expected, given I spend a lot of time at 65-70mph on motorways and the A1.
It is what it is, I...
Fleet News did a more recent test, Mustang Mach-E RWD ER managed 288, all the cars covered 250 miles without any special driving techniques, the smallest and cheapest being the most efficient on...
I wouldn’t say a Hummer of any variant is typical for a passenger car even in the US though, and no more representative of a general car than a Lamborghini Huracán for example?
Many diesel Ford...
I guess it depends on what you’re terming long distance, and what EV you’re trying to do it in, but I use mine every week for a 400 mile round trip, albeit with an overnight before the return...
I watched this earlier, the tagline was “If Rolex made cars”.
Lovely thing!
No doubt, and I was working on one at 14, that wasn’t really my point.
If anything, Harry Metcalfe is a ‘non farmers farmer’ more than anything that countryfile do.
I like him, I like his car...
I’m only aware of Tesla (Model Y), BYD and CATL using structural battery packs, and there’s no doubt it’s a good option for lowering manufacturing costs and making EVs cheaper and/or more profitable....
Yep, and it’s been cheap to run in all that time no doubt.
I quite miss my i3, it was an early 2014 model, great fun to drive as well.
A guy I work with, a pilot, has an i3S in black, great...
Purely out of interest, my wife’s Tesla M3 LR is now 3 yrs 2 months old, with average mileage.
I just popped it into Motorway and WBAC and they’re saying £23.5k, which is about 46% of its list...
Insurance is up generally on everything, I’ve just renewed mine to start in a few days fine, it was circa +25% although I could have got it for a similar price going with a company I’d never heard of...
