There's about as much open discussion as in Stalin's Russia or Mao's China.
The rigidity of their thinking is unbelievable.

I've got to say a new maxus pickup on lease at £50 a month would have me wiring the meter...

Interesting comments on the council Facebook page after this announcement. 140% increase in cost.
According to some this makes it more expensive than diesel and the silly buggers who live in flats and can't charge at home and still bought an EV are not happy.

I'd be apoplectic.
Given the £10 charge you'd need to be there for the 'sweet spot' when your car has just got fully charged but before the penalty kicks in.
Talk about impractical, even beancounters couldn't come up with something so stupid.

Smug cunts ought to be charged a £100 for overstaying, free parking hogs that they are.

As far as I understand it most vehicles tail off the amps going in to the battery packs for safety's sake as they get fuller. Getting the last bit of charge 90 to 100% isn't absolutely necessary and takes longer.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 8:53 pm I'd be apoplectic.

What is a charging curve?
Every EV has a charging curve, and this represents the fluctuation in speed during a charging session. You may have noticed during charging sessions that an EV will charge notably faster when the battery percentage is between 20 - 80% - outside of this range the charging speeds decrease. Why?
To protect the battery.

Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.
Fuck them, they had money to waste on some EV shit, why should charging and parking costs be subsidised by the public purse.
Hey council I would like subsidised LPG and free parking at the station as I'm virtue signalling.
What do you mean fuck off?

Data centre power use 'to surge six-fold in 10 years'
The National Grid boss said in a speech on Tuesday, shared on LinkedIn, that now was "a pivotal moment" for grid transformation - with rising demand for energy-hungry technologies and more people opting for heat pumps or electric cars.
"Today, just like in the 1950s, we find ourselves with a network that's constrained," he said. "Demand on the grid is growing dramatically, and forecast to double by 2050 as heat, transport and industry continue to electrify." The high-voltage transmission network of cables and pylons that make up the UK's "supergrid" is now more than 70 years old.
I thought they were telling us it was all in hand and there was no problem? 70 years ago they got shit done and some of it is still in use today, some of it even older!

Plus they should be build in factories powered the same way & all the rare minerals mined using the same power sources. Shipped over in windjammers etc etc.
