European Engineer - may not play nicely with people who hate clean energy progress.

Electrification reduces my annual overall energy demand. Past 12 months heating via my heat pump, 4000kWh at a measured SCOP of 4 means that 20,000kWh of gas not burned (boiler 80% efficient)

The Lancet Planetary Health reported this year that for every 200 EVs registered in a “neighbourhood” the NO2 levels dropped 1.1% whilst for every 200 ICE cars NO2 increased. NO2 causes breathing difficulties. In September 2026 the UK registered 99,000 new EVs. Some hope on the horizon.

UK September car sales, a pure EV was sold every 12 seconds, almost 100,000 cars, but the SMMT “analysis” still points to being cynical about EVs, stating that they have missed targets, when they know full well that this years 33% target has allowances for PHEVs and reduced ICE emissions.

@ctrlaltrefuel.bsky.social Hi guys, you are the cleverest car guys I have acquaintance with. I need to replace my ID.Buzz soon, would you… A) Lease the Buzz for 4 years at £650 per year @10,000 miles (I would need to buy year 4 warranty) B) Buy a year old Buzz the same spec for £48k

Whilst the SMMT UK, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders HAVE TO report the registration facts each month or lose their standing, it doesn’t mean that they are not biased. Yet again BEVs are performing very well, not just in August but throughout the year

The wind returns to the UK, newish large wind farms coming on-line in the North Sea, solar doing its bit, and you get 105% of required generation AFTER curtailment, and some electricity heading abroad, possibly to pump water up a Norwegian mountain or into a Danish battery bank.

European Bob 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 @muppetkeeper.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
The UK pure battery market is clearly failing again, 29.8% of all August 2026 car registrations were pure electric, up 28% year on year to 28,000 vehicles. If you don’t drive a BEV yet, the English public charger network is very solid, Scotland is good too, Wales needs work.

Nice to see both Dogger Bank A & B over 30% of peak generation today, despite lowish winds, maybe the transmission issues are almost fixed? Referencing the work of: @robhawkes.bsky.social

Provisional data in the UK shows almost 50% increase in EV registrations in July 26 year on year, with over 43,000 vehicles and over 27% of market share. That’s 1 less super max tanker each year from July sales alone. Nothing can stop this now, cars, vans, class 8 trucks, all doable, all sensible.

Pls spread word. Three digits can help protect you from scams: 159. If you're suspicious of a 'call from your bank', politely hang up and dial 159. It connects you to a switchboard that puts you through to your bank's real number. Watch the video for why its extra protection

For those of you outside of the UK, the right wing tosspot MP called Farage has resigned from parliament to avoid investigations into his funding. He immediately put his name forward for the bye election that follows. All other parties stepped aside now he’s up against a man dressed as a bin.

The UK is now up to 2.1 million pure EV cars on the road. That’s around 430,000,000 UK gallons or 2 billion litres of fossil fuel not being burned in cars each year.

European Bob 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇪🇺 @muppetkeeper.bsky.social · 04/07/2026
“Rumours” are that the UK made it to 29.8% pure EV sales in June 2026, in a growing overall market. That’s almost 65,000 new BEVs on the road. In comparison, “Europe” including the UK is hitting 19.8% pure EV. Full data will be available on Monday.

Here in the UK even public EV charging can be cheaper than driving diesel. Actual figures from my past 1500 miles, VW ID.Buzz vs Mercedes Vito Diesel, all motorway driving. Vito 35mpg, Buzz 2.5m per kWh Ionity sub price 43p kWh, Diesel £1.90 gallon Vito 24p mile, Buzz 18p mile

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

Let’s not forget that Zero Carbon electricity is just a pipe dream, it will never happen, net zero is a hoax. Oh, an inconvenient truth of the UKs grid at a moment in time this week. Personally I don’t think the 5% from burning trees should be listed as carbon free. Now we build to repeat this.

Just to remind all those “Facebook university engineers” that screamed you can’t have more than 5% renewable on the grid, and we’ll always need gas…. Yesterday in the UK gas dropped to 1.6% of demand, I missed that point in time but took an image at 2.5%.

UK March 2026 new car registrations. The first full month since Trumps PaedoWar started. Some extra context here, March 2025 was also a good month due to new taxes due April 2025. The past three March figures are 48,388; 69,313; 86,120

UK EV news. Autotrader UK announced last week that EV only searches increased by 28% on their platform. My own experience is that second hand EVs are starting to slowly increase in price. The car I bought for £24k in August would cost you £27k - £28k now.

It looks like the battery recycling plants are going to have a few more lean years. Charge cube exclusively uses re-purposed EV batteries to turn a 3 phase AC socket into a DC rapid charger or two. It’s even on wheels, so you can move it around your car park.

Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero More here: bsky.app/profile/drsi...

UK full year Car registration details. No December rush this year as most manufacturers had hit their “soft target” of just under 21%. BEVs aren’t a fad, the UK has excellent infrastructure, over 1.2 million home chargers plus 18,000 of 150kW+ public chargers.
