I'm actually more concerned about the transport issues at the moment affecting fuel supplies. I don't have to fill the other cars up that often due to doing most of the driving in the EV but the when I do I have noticed a lot of dry pumps in the petrol stations............

Just about the worst thing:- no lights and no toilet paper. Uug, the thought defies imagination.

With the best will in the world, your continued apparently studied misinterpretations of posts are increasingly and obviously phoney! Misdirection always fails to hit the target! OK if funny, could try harder.

All,
Sorry, I've not been able to be on the forum for a few days due to IT network and computer printer link problems.[not an electricity failure issue!!] I know the discussion has moved on, but I just wanted to clarify my earlier comment about used batteries. I should have said spent EV batteries when taken off cars. I did not mean our usual 12 volt batteries off IC vehicles! I was talking to a mechanic friend the other day. He said he'd been working on a 4 year old hybrid vehicle. Nothing major, but he noted the high voltage orange cable covers under the car had been covered in road grime and could be mistaken for other cables with potential catastrophic results. |

Obviously the supply is 240 volts but surely the cables to the transformers would be kept as short as possible.-- |
