New EV Review - Lotus Eletre
zhlédnutí 3,8KPřed 2 měsíci
Join me as I take a look at the Lotus Eletre. It's been 70 years since Colin Chapman founded Lotus in his garage to design sports cars and I think you'll agree, he did a pretty good job! Now, Lotus is know for their mantra 'simplify then add lightness'. See how they've got on with the Eletre, where lightness isn't so much possible. Thanks to the @TheHendyGroup for the support and for lending us...
Paul Jepson: Understanding rewilding
zhlédnutí 179Před 3 měsíci
You may or may not know that we are now in the middle of United Nations decade on Ecosystem restoration to revive the worlds damaged ecosystems. However, I’m pretty sure you will have heard about ‘rewilding’. But what is rewilding exactly? Is it no mow May? Is it letting a corner of the garden get a little out of hand? Or, perhaps is it bigger than that, the reintroduction of beaver or bison fo...

A introduction to hybrids with Petrol Ped

Electric car batteries - from battery degradation to cobalt mining. We ask an expert!

Dr Euan McTurk is a consultant battery electrochemist, so knows a thing or two about batteries and clearly the best person to ask about all areas of EV batteries, including degradation and the mining of the compoun...

    Having had both EV and PHEV, a PHEV is the car for EV drivers with towing needs. For other uses it is difficult to justify an ICE car over EV unless your are the genuine person who does the 1000km journey very regularly.

    @architectofechoes4 Před 3 měsíci

    It's probably worth noting that you should check that you are not on a looped service or may be at the end of a looped service. This info should be held by your DNO. If you are then you'll have to ask your neighbour if they mind having their garden/path/pathed area dug up in order to unloop the supply & reconnect you or your neighbour to the mains cable in the pavement or road. In most cases this is done free of charge. You could possibly find yourself with an EV or PHEV car that you can't charge at home because you don't get on with your neighbour & they have refused access.

    You didn't try switching off for a minute, then starting again that usually gives you another 2 miles or more, which might be the difference of walking home or getting back to. your own charger. Its fact 1 in 13 ice drivers run out of fuel in the UK every year.

    CH₄ (methane) currently @ 1.7ppm is a volatile arrangement, it breaks down in any contact with O₂ and O₃ (@ 21% atmosphere): Science. To negotiate that destructive process for ten years would take a remarkably devious little operator. Increased methane levels would make that mission even harder.

    • @wynevans8209
      @wynevans8209 Před 3 měsíci

      I'm afraid your science is wrong. Yes methane reacts with ozone (O₃), which only constitutes on average 0.00006% of the atmosphere (the highest concentration in the stratosphere rises to 0.0015% at a height of about 20miles). The 21% quoted by you relates to O2, the 'ordinary' oxygen molecule, which is much less reactive (unless you add an ignition source!).

      @peterclark6290 Před 3 měsíci

    Keep going George. Regen needs you to expand your land-holdings by buying out your neighbours or leasing their land (after they gave up competing with Value) for those customers who want healthy, nutritionally dense products. An ally is the Keto-Carnivore movement who are seeking the yellow (grass fed) fat that contain Omega-3s that make meat the proper human diet (PHD). Many farmers are getting on the 'direct to customer' business model (where you get a larger, and larger, percentage of the retail price) to fund that expansion. An entire watershed of Regen farmers is a garden of Eden, i.e. drought/flood resistant, cleaner 'wild water', etc.
