A few random things but almost always cars. Personal account.

@A1GOY Hi Alex. There are certain updates coming soon for existing cars. I will drop you a note and you are welcome to try one in due course.

Vauxhall & Zoopla are supporting the UK's switch to electric - launching new tools to help buyers & renters find nearby on-street chargers and filter homes with EV charging. 40% of UK drivers say charger access will influence their next move. Details: https://t.co/lWZF0eIFnL

@MartinWard_Cars @SteveFowler The keycard is more of - secondary feature. The main method is to have the App on your phone and then it is fully keyless and has more functionality. Should all be in booking email. Shout on Monday if you’d like us to run through it.

What a wonderful, lovely thread of great people standing against hatred and standing up for the England I love x

The way we organise time is strange.

365 days in a year, 12 months (of 31, 30, 28, or sometimes 29 days), 52 weeks, 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, and 60 seconds in a minute.

How did this happen?! The story begins with an Ancient Egyptian sundial...

@g__j Most EVs do upto 11kW AC so maybe c.15miles in 15mins? Perhaps good as backup in rural areas. Prefer to see mass rollout of >100kW DC hubs, at destinations along main routes and for as many petrol stations as possible to have 2-6 50kW+ chargers.

@BuckCllr @g__j @Everyth1ngElec @centreparcs 100 - wow! That’s fantastic. We need to see more of this at leisure destinations with high dwell time across the UK. Gives confidence to go EV for those infrequent trips.

Vauxhall is reinventing its 1990s 4x4 as a compact hybrid and electric SUV, and we're giving you the chance to be among the first people to see it 👀 https://t.co/O5zqCWPXIv

Why are cities dominated by highways and cars?

It's partly because of one of the most influential people you've never heard of: Norman Bel Geddes.

In 1939 he created "Futurama", a huge exhibition that tried to predict the future — and ended up changing the world...

@elonmusk Worth reading the text of the letter from the council and not just the headline…

[Matthew Bendall @MattBendall]

@AntonyWrites @David__Twohig @StvCr Not sure how many people beyond the people who wrote the press releases took note - it was a grammatically tall order…
