Although the Mazda bloke at a Fully Charged who claimed it was wonderful that the heat pump wasn’t using much energy when the temp in the car was basically the same as the outside was slightly missing the point.
The Zoe has a heat pump
Yikes!
This was really interesting to me as I know fuck all about Milkfloats:

Everyone else got the half price Intelligent charging email from Octopus? Given that I need to brim the Jag to head off for a day out on Tuesday that is quite convenient.
Nope
I’m on intelligent. Had a couple of free hours. But nothing more.
I had an email saying I saved £0.02 with my free hour the other day.

I reckon it’ll soon be on a downward spiral.

Impressions from your Polestar 4 drive Mark?
None of these articles ever seems to mention that setting up a system to actually measure the mileage would not be zero cost (as a government IT project, it’s likely to be far from it) so it’s not going to generate any revenue straightaway and likely prove to be an absolute catastrofuck for some time.
Taxing EVs should be as simple to enforce and close to ICE practise as possible. It should attempt to be lower than an ICE vehicle at any given price increment but still scale accordingly. The two possible band criteria as I see it, are weight and battery capacity; both of which increase in a reasonably consistent way with the value of the vehicle being taxed. Both also have the advantage of being existing data too.

First and foremost it’s too big to fit comfortably on the drive so it’s excluded on that basis alone.
Been finding it difficult to coalesce my thoughts on it, but overall I was rather underwhelmed by it. Hard to point to specifics but it seemed neither fish nor fowl. It’s not a saloon and it’s not an SUV. It’s not as engaging a drive as the Model 3 - probably to be expected as it’s a good 500kg heavier - although in terms of noise insulation and refinement it ticks the boxes.

Going to try a leftfield option in the EQE SUV which looks better (not hard) than the EQE saloon. Do I really want an SUV? No, but potentially a nice motor with all the expensive bits picked up by someone else.
Also looking at the BMW i5 now, which I had previously dismissed partly because of range issues and partly because of the wild Harry’s Garage review. But he’s a bit of an anti-EV militant and partly because he was bemoaning the price. The list price is stupid, but irrelevant to me.
