@GRIDSERVE_HQ Had a diesel. Spent ages defrosting on winter mornings. Smell of diesel fumes stayed in my nostrils for the rest of the day. Made my asthma worse.

@charleslewis58 @itskyleconner See also: "It can charge up to 100 kW per hour."

@EpicWinningMaz Was announced before the new Kia and Hyundai models, but only now taking orders.

@jasonfenske13 @106Euan How about splitting water directly with solar? https://t.co/1v3HFnerBR

Computer chip design can be greatly accelerated by using machine learning tools, according to a paper in Nature. https://t.co/rG4BkZooI0

I experimented 4 different methods of #Current measurement & Comparison using:
1. 1 ohm Shunt resister. £0.01
2. TinyCurrent/uCurrent £60
3. Keithley £5K+
4. Keysight N6705C power analyzer £12K+

@evmanuk Too many different networks to remember all the details!

@tillathenun @KiaUK @UKChange The most frustrating thing on the Ioniq MY20! Battery heats on fast chargers during winter, wasting half incoming energy for short sessions. On a rapid, the heater isn't used and cooling starts before good battery temp. Never see >34kW on a rapid as a result. @Hyundai_UK

Blind and partially sighted people face increased risk at rail stations all over the country.

Train stations should be safe places, but only around half of mainline stations have tactile paving installed.

Join me and sign @RNIB‘s petition to change that: https://t.co/UGS9dTkAjz

@FullyChargedDan We would be better off heating homes directly with electrical energy (resistance heating) than using hydrogen in this way.

@Bouncypete @amdmad70 @evmanuk @MGmotor I agree Peter. Thought they looked naff at first, but there is definitely a usability advantage to displays like this.

@Out_of_Spec Thought you were giving it a salute

In 1959, the IBM 1401 computer was built from boards called SMS cards. A single board might hold just 3 logic gates so the computer needed thousands of boards. Silicon transistors weren't popular yet, so they used germanium transistors.

@RishadShafik The same experience at conferences too

@Rjdlandscapes @FullyChargedShw @bobbyllew @DriveElectricUK @OctopusEV @GRIDSERVE_HQ @rachelburden @DavidHsearch @Hyundai_UK_PR @MrRoryReid @GreenCarGuide @JordeeBrompton I was referring more to my region of the UK. I agree you don't need rapid charging within a decent radius of home.

[Adrian Wheeldon @AdrianWheeldon]

@Rjdlandscapes @FullyChargedShw @bobbyllew @DriveElectricUK @OctopusEV @GRIDSERVE_HQ @rachelburden @DavidHsearch @Hyundai_UK_PR @MrRoryReid @GreenCarGuide @JordeeBrompton There're very few above 50kW north of Sheffield.

@kellowayj1 How do you know the boiler is running in condensing mode?
