Doubts about EVs
Orcade-Ian:
Was I asleep in Physics and Geography at school? These Ultra Low Emissions Zones and Clean Air Zones they have - does this wonderfully clean air just hang about over the people who paid through the nose for it (no pun intended). In 2010 I was at an International Mini Meeting in Bavaria and we awoke to find our cars covered in yellow spots from the Eyjafjallajökull volcano - er, quite a distance away!

Hybrids or not.
And 92% of those who took part in the so called ULEZ consultation (me being one of them) said 'No' to ULEZ expansion but that didn't stop the mayor imposing it! The mayor didn't even wait for the results of his own ULEZ consultation before spending £50M buying the ULEZ camera's. When the results of the consultation were made public the mayor didn't like the figures against his proposals and he disqualified 5000 of the votes!
Democracy in action and the reason I will never vote labour again.

She won't drive anything that she doesn't own outright either a loan or demonstrator vehicle. That's why we have had a Yaris Hybrid (loan car from insurance company) outside our house for 3 weeks that has literally moved only about 600 mm :) I went to it after 2 weeks and flashed up 'No EV' ..then after weekend away, the batteries were totally flat and I couldn't even open it with the remote. Told them to take it away but blokes who came for it didn't have a clue where the battery was ..so I Googled it and we found it under the back seat.

All we can do is get rid of Sadiq Khan who is incapable of taking no for an answer. But at least I escape his TfL tax... oops I mean ULEZ because like a lot of people around here I ride a historic vehicle! ;D

Not the same but related when I had a 3 series Beamer the battery was close to flat so I ordered a replacement from Tanya it was in the Christmas period period so it was a few days before I got round to fitting it.
Remote would not open the door so tried using the key after 5 mins spent with WD40 to get the key lock flap to open - then another 10 minutes to get the key past halfway mark - boot has no key slot it works on remote only - appears no internal boot release either, I ended up plugging a battery charger into the fag lighter socket with the ignition key turned on - that was just enough to make the boot open via the fob!
