@au_tom_otive In addition, those that can afford to generate their own electricity though solar or wind, or even home storage, will pay lower rate of electricity from those who can't.
Only way to align is to reduce public charging (electricity) to 5% or increase domestic electricity to 20%
@au_tom_otive I don't see how that can work.
It's not possible to robustly differentiate electrons for a kettle from electrons for an EV. Yes, they could mandate "smart" chargers, but what about legacy chargers and Mode 2 granny cables?
@LobAllan Also worth considering the 2.0litre petrol in 300 Sport, post-facelift P300. It’s the same engine we put in the 2.0litre F-TYPE.
It doesn’t have the same sound but was super fun to drive and of course gives you AWD which was never available in RHD V6.
In 7 days time it’s the @LondonMarathon , I’m running the 26.1 miles for bensupport4auto charity raising money & awareness.
This coming week I’ll be getting my running tee printed by @acornprinting adding the companies who’ve supported the fundraiser.

One for you @PaulCowland_ - I saw this in Leadenham ( https://t.co/Pxpl9rcqym ) near Grantham last week: despite the poor interior this actually looks quite tidy. Not much obvious rust, but does need a bit of exterior trim work, and some new wipers.
@nealteamgibson@Hush_Kit I seem to recall that Subaru/Fuji Heavy Industries made a plane at one point.

Given your ongoing discussions about automony within road vehicles and the possible similarities between the two scenarios I thought this might be of interest.
If you are not aware of it, Cautionary Tales is highly recommended.

Hi @MotoringPodcast team. Last week @TimHarford released an episode of Cautionary Tales on the Air France flight 447 accident. He talks about the difficulties experienced by the crew trying to pick-up control from the automated/assisted pilot in moments of stress at short notice.
@CrackedW_Screen If you are going to be doing lots of miles it might be worth signing up to Gridserve and using their new app. They are giving 20% off charging costs if you do:
