A normal guy in a mad world... I try to make public transport work! A VW ID.5 and Leapmotor B05 user, with a Leapmotor B10 on order...

Hence, the reason why Grand Central need 4 more class 180s - it takes 4 of them to replace 2 class 221s!!

I've just spent £65pp for the 3 of us to see The Warning at Wembley Arena.... I would rather support 3 up and coming sisters from Mexico rather than 2 washed-up karaoke brothers from Manchester!

That's not what saving sessions are about! It's about lessening peak demand to save burn too much gas.... Those of us with batteries also contribute to the grid as well!

Ironically, Rock Rail can get better financing terms than the government right now! Hence, why the TPX order still uses a ROSCO.... 🙄

I'm guessing the 'new' 500e will be on the STLA One platform, which was announced earlier in the year? Stellantis wouldn't use the Leapmotor A platform (which underpins the B03 and B03X), would they? Can you imagine the pushback if they did?! 🫣

It's a bigger issue the other way round. BMW are not building any EVs in the UK due to the tariff situation. It's cheaper to build them in China! It didn't stop BMW accepting millions of pounds of taxpayers' money, however!

If Restore supporters want mass deportations, why don't we deport them first?! It'll massively raise the average IQ in the country!

Are you sure? My mate Bob down the pub, knows a guy whose sister dates a guy whose brothers with an uncle that had a friend that said these EV all catch fire every 5 minutes and need a new battery every year.... 😀

If you looked at the events in Dover today, you would be mistaken for thinking this is taking place in a different country.... That's why hope MUST win over their hate!

When we said "stop the boats" we didn't mean the commercial shipping lanes.... 😂😂

This can't be right... only yesterday, someone on YouTube told me that "the EV bubble has burst" and that "Net stupid Zero will bankrupt us all".... 😂😂

Almost makes too much sense!

Is it? The top two 'priorities' are "stopping the boats" and "cost of living" - both are directly linked to Brexit, but those who masterminded it won't let the truth be told.... It's only the real hard-line Euro sceptics that still believe in Brexit. Even Farage has admitted its a failure!!

Why not go the whole way and offer a vote to rejoin the EU fully? It might even be a vote winner at the next general election!

Yep, and the rolling stock company will charge extra for the update. So it's the taxpayer paying to fix a problem purchased with taxpayers' money!

First road trip in the Leapmotor B05, still pulling close to the maximum speed of the 150kW charger at nearly 50% charge.... A charging curve almost as flat as some say the earth is! 😂

It used to be very useful for going one stop back from Paddington so you could get on an eastbound H+C service towards the city! The Elizabeth Line has solved that issue.... Fun fact: the platform is used to speed gun trains on the mainline to make sure drivers are doing no more than 40mph!!

Is Mr Embargo related to Mr Umbongo, who did fruit drinks as a child?! I can't type the song as I'll get banned from the site!

Is this not more about the idiots who film women without permission? I think general filming for news purposes will be okay 👍

It depends on where you go.... Switzerland is hardly a hot spot for the average UK holiday! Try one of the Spanish resorts, and it's a different story.... 😉

Morning @octopus.energy 👋 We've just taken delivery of a new Leapmotor EV, only to realise that it's not compatible with Intelligent Go! Ironically, our existing charger is from Pod, which also doesn't support IOG! Are there plans to support Leapmotor vehicles in the future?
