Wow, okay, that's a bit of a turn up for the books. Well done @guardian for at least one media outlet with a bit of actual balance and actual fact checking.
First ride today of my loaner ebike from @MalvernCar. I am now commuting 3 days from Hallow to Mill Farm, Stanford Bridge. Nowhere to shower at @MissMillyUK shop so thought I'd try electric over acoustic. And what a glorious day for it! #ActiveTravel
@CycleMalvern is getting a bit more active and will be looking at taking action on Malvern to Worcester route (again) among other things. If anyone wants to get involved in a working group ...
"We don't have enough lithium to move to electric vehicles" is something I hear a lot.
But is it true? No. I look at this question in my latest Substack.
TLDR: Yes we have enough in the long term. But need to rapidly scale up production capacity now.

This @FullyChargedShw podcast about Hydrogen is a revelation. How Green Hydrogen makes sense for fertiliser and other chemical apps but can never, ever, make economic sense for vehicles. Thermodynamics and round trip efficiency is the issue *not* belief! https://t.co/AZR3im11P4
This year I have completed an MSc dissertation exploring the role of E-bikes in replacing private car journeys in rural Worcestershire.
Key findings 🚲🧵... (For anyone remotely interested 😀)
