    Vans are a fring EV case. Do you carry loads of stuff/weight a long way? Then it’s not great yet. Do you have a round trip and can charge at home most days then it is getting there. Just be aware that ranges are likely to be advertised empty, not carrying concrete a mixer and tools or bags of...

    2025 Ifour Christmas quiz

    I am on 30 but just got the top middle on you posted. for a long time I was sure it's a golf movie, but obviously is not, even with the main actor is know to golf a lot. I watched a movie with him just yesterday on sky ;-) what I find weird is that some clues are movie props, some are say what...

    Octopus energy

    This is one of the many YouTubers that compared Octopus to Heatgeek, he went with Heatgeek Other compares are available like speak to the geek or upside down fork and more So far Nicolas Reimo seems to be the only one that went with Octopus and he got the trash can design. He got it before HG...

    That’s one of the lowest octopus figures I have seen, especially with the radiator replacements. Did she get the purple trash can, or a generic looking whitish greyish box as a pump?

    Octopus energy

    About heat pumps? Heat Geeks have done more videos about other properties. They also have a new system called zero disrupt or something like it where they go away from replacing a lot to what’s absolutely necessary , taking their prices down to lower than a boiler replacement, if it works for...

    The Footie Thread

    Only to a certain point. Once you are priced out boycotting isn't a choice, you can't go anyway. Maybe it will 'all' go to corporate customers. Imagine England v Argentina with people politely clapping because they don't want to drop their champagne flute or shrimp cocktiail. It will be like...

    The EU has just removed the 100% target for 2035 and is having a 90% fleet target now. I assume that means that for example instead all all Ford cars there only have to bee 90% of Ford sold new being EVs. They also didn't push the 100% further back, they dropped it.

    YouTubers.

    I am sure they play either very early or late. Rick used to post 9 holes, I think he played last 9s early? Not watched him for a while. Now that he is big he probably can negotiate a good amount of time on a lot of courses. Dan Hendrickson used to comment about light and how the camera makes...

    I have never been to a MOT station. Ford is doing them on service. Same for my bike where the local mechanic does it. So when I buy my Enyak or Explorer or EQC (building myself a shopping list) next year I would hope that the people selling it to me do it as well.

    Thanks. Tax returns are just doing a big advert for their app. Maybe that’s where the 2 year delay comes in handy to replicate it for vehicles. Might as well put mot and other car stuff like insurance, driving license, service history, … in the same app

    EVM did a review: 3p per mile add on tax payment, but from April 2028 onwards. A few more years of no extra tax. Luxury car tax up from £50k from April 2026 onwards. What I am now not clear about is that if I buy a 2nd hand £45k car for £30k in May then I still have to pay the £400 a year for...

    We had a guy in the running club who in the early 2000s worked for the ministry of transport and was looking into pay by mile road pricing. I can't recall if it was maut or general, but it was way before EV.
