    Just been checking out routes, charging and parking options for my new job.

    Is 150 miles possible at motorway speeds?

    I live just north of Brum, and commute down to Southampton for 2 weeks at a time. Just been looking into google maps and the total trip length is 154 miles. So theoretically doable with 75 miles from the battery and a bit more from the REX. On the way back on Fridays the M3/A34/M40/M42 is...

    Nuclear powered i3 - really!

    I just found out the Blue price promise tariff I'm on with EDF is sourced from 100% nuclear. That's my rental property working away. At home I'm with Good Energy which is sourced entirely from renewables. That's a wet fish around the face for the next smarty pants who comes up with the...
