Interesting article on the link between air pollution and dementia

Air pollution link to higher dementia risk, study finds
Researchers say there is an "urgent need" for policy interventions to combat air pollution.

Interesting read.
I drove 350 miles in a day in an electric car - the numbers didn't work

Is it really ? It's just anti EV nonsense dressed up as journalism.

Can't comment on his figures but I've done a similar(ish) journey having just returned from Cornwall with a stop off in Bognor Regis on the way home to pick up the dog!
Our figures are as follows in our Ioniq 5 which has a stated range of 287 miles but in reality our actual range is 250 miles in the main.
Full charge at home: £6.20
Gridserve (fast charger) on the way up whilst we had a Macca's breakfast: £18.59
Resort charge: £14.00
Council car park charging: £14.78
Instavolt (fast charger) on the way back: £18:18 *
Total charging costs: £71.75
Total miles covered: 680
* If you ever want to see what the end of the world might look like have a Google for the Instavolt chargers at the Gissons Hotel (nr Exeter), it's a wasteland of a place with the chargers placed at the back of a derelict hotel.

I can comment as I had the same 318d and I was lucky to get 40mpg and the 61L tank would cost £85 for 536 miles.
Also the photo of the car charging shows trees with no leaves so obviosly a winter journey (6 deg) not August as claimed
''There is no mainstream EV on the planet right now that can match 700 miles to the tank.''
Not even his BMW

That's why I went for a plug-in hybrid for my company car as I do long journeys. I can do 600+ on a full tank (circa £70.00) with a full charge of electricty at home (circa £3.00) and no range anxiety and a quick top-up where needed.
Plus, I couldn't tow my caravan with an electric. When I retire and my journeys are smaller, I'll reconsider my options.

Local news (well almost) major recharging facility to be built in Wiltshire on the A303, sounds like it is close to Chicklade. It has been stated that one of the aims is to get charging cost down to around 50p/kw.

Also it was a loan car , the range shown will be based on driving style , I'm making an educated guess that previous loanees made a point of using all 408bhp. I know I do
