I am fully cognisant of various interests of certain disturbed gentlemen. They would be very disappointed in this particular machine. It is very metal.

Tomorrow I will go for a ride in this fully self driving capable Xpeng LO3. I won’t be driving. Just sitting. Relaxed. 😬

I’m at the pre show launch by Stellantis, Paris motor show. The 2CV is clearly the star of the event, but this Alpha Romeo Cuorerosso isn’t scruffy.

Very difficult to get near the 2CV. Clearly very popular

Some of you will have seen the new Citroen 2CV already. I’m at the launch and I think it looks great. Smaller, lighter, electric and really not expensive

It's quite simple, when the weather is like this, it just means we burn way less expensive, imported gas to keep the lights on. One day it will also mean our electricity is MUCH cheaper #breakthelink

I just thought I'd say hi as I'm passing. For someone who is four 4 years beyond current retirement age, and I'm not complaining, but I have never, in 70 years, been this busy. I like it, but even among all the frantic activity, I go out and look at the sky. It's worth doing if you can.

I met Jeffrey Archer once. We had the same literary agent. He was terrifying. If we really are ruled by lizard overlords, he was definitely one of them.

For the first 5 years of Fully Charged Show (Everything Electric) a common YouTube comment was 'Battery electric is dud, the future is hydrogen.' I never hear that now. To understand why, listen to Prof Helen Czerski in discussion with the amazing Michael Liebreich www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY2q...

I love being told I’m getting a little ‘political’ by people who, I assume hold different views to mine. Isn’t your comment ‘a little ‘political.’

Why is it possible to pay around 14p per kWh for electricity from a very rapid charger in France when we pay between 60 to 95p in the UK? Asking for a friend

Just been sent a total pro fossil fuel non story from the ABC in Australia. Saying you should keep your car fuelled during bush fire season so you can get away. Fair enough. Then there's a picture of a hybrid petrol car with some fire damage . . from a bush fire . . which they describe as 'an EV'

Picture of a Mitsubishi Outlander hybrid petrol car parked on side of road where there's been a bush fire. It is slightly damaged.

After the electric Ferrari Luce, comes the Bentley Torcal. Built in the UK, from the ground up as a 100% electric luxury SUV. OK, I know we need smaller, lighter, cheaper cars, but every now and then something a bit spesh turns up. And this is proper spesh. youtu.be/yPaiXXcBzrc

I’m currently driving the BYD Seal 6 touring DMI. It’s a plug in hybrid which, I’ve discovered can only charge at 7 kW. However when I started this trip, it had 720 miles range. But I’ve had to buy petrol for the first time in 12 years. #shock. On Everything Electric soon.

Everything we use is dug up or grown. In this fascinating and optimistic podcast I learn how one company, Fortescue, is digging up gigatons of iron ore and will soon do so without burning any fossil fuel. Deffo worth a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvKc...

10 years ago electric vans were, well, a bit embarrassing. Too expensive, not much range. Now, only a fool would buy a new diesel van. (In case you don't know, a 'tradie' is the Australian for white van person, because anyone can drive a white van yeah.) #woke 😜 youtu.be/4_hntrkW9MM

A total of 28,063 electric cars were newly registered in the UK in August. This represents an increase of 27.7 per cent compared with the same month last year and means that BEVs accounted for 29.8 per cent of all new passenger car registrations last month. (Courtessy of SMMT)

What a weird thing to say. What an extremely twisted worldview you must have to think my criticism of this pathetic non story is about me and my ‘opinions.’ It’s shitty journalism. It’s not a ‘jus a thing.’

‘Journalism’ at its most dumb and desperate. A car on a beach. So what. An electric car on a beach. Wow! Now that’s a massive front page mega story.
