What about the multi fuel stoves?They have, but it doesn't apply under 85 horsepower.
And in any case, going diesel electric will deal for the rest of my life, because most of the power can be accounted for as domestic.
All part of my strategy, stop you lot hogging the fuel with your gas guzzlers, more for us Boaters!
They should be banned, in my opinion. But the heritage freaks are fighting that.What about the multi fuel stoves?
One guy i spoke to who'd had a v8 that used it said it ran a little hotter.... Ft!!
Heat output from mine, especially on LPG, is phenomenal!
That's why I bought all my second hand vehicles in the UKInteresting, yet French cars are so cheap.
Obviously some new form of maths there.2 % of remaining capacity per month, is as near as makes no odds, 10 % after 6 months.
I like the idea of hybrids for UK traffic jams and town work.
No, just some quick in my head maths.
Theres a video on you tube showing James Mays Tesla with a flat battery Not the one for running the car but the auxiliary which is 12 v and works the lights and other things WHICH includes the door opening So he couldn't access the car . This battery is only charged when car is running so when not in use the ordinary battery will go flat and cause problems. He had to dismantle the front of the car to access battery to use jump leads to get in to use itNo, just some quick in my head maths.
Here's it worked out accurately, and yes I'm slightly wrong.
If an EV battery charged to 100% looses 2% of it's remaining capacity each month for 6 months, it works out as this.
Month 1 the remaining capacity drops from 100% to 98%.
Month 2 the remaining capacity starts at 98% minus 2% leaves 96.04%.
Month 3, 96.04% - 2% = 94.11%.
Month 4, 94.11% - 2% = 92.22%.
Month 5, 92.22% - 2% = 90.37%.
Month 6, 90.37% - 2% = 88.56% remaining.
This is a loss of 11.44% over 6 months of sitting, so I was 1.44% out, but that's snot even remotely close to being flat.
know several people with a Tesla and they seem a decent car even though they are all electricIt's a Tesla, they're pretty poorly made, they can't even get the panel gaps right.
You are correct though, it's more likely that the 12 volt battery goes flat long before the main traction battery.
However unless it's a Tesla, it's no different to any other car with a flat battery, electric or otherwise.
Never driven one, but they are quite fast. Had several overtake me on the motorway when I was already at the legal limit.know several people with a Tesla and they seem a decent car even though they are all electric
Totally agree
To be honest I am not that bothered about any of them because I can not afford the prices that are asked for them . Plus I would never consider one second hand. It's just a case of trying to get us older poorer ill old folk of the roads who can't afford them
My cousin has one and it does motor on. Uses for mainly driving to work and back. Longer journeys they use the Range Rover and for driving with a bit of a blast and excitement the Ferrari FF
I'm with you on that.
You have just summed it up in your last line. They are not yet practicalThey're too expensive, agreed, but it's the way the world is going.
Why not? They're much cheaper to run long term, with none of those expensive service items like timing belts, clutches, gearbox fluid changes, and basically anything else a BEV doesn't need. Oh and most of the fuel is free, if you have solar!!
However for me, they're not as practical as my LR, so for the moment, I'll be driving that.
