Re: EV-network now charges £3

.. the bit that hurt the most was the fact business's got it for free which I just couldnt get my head round :? No they don't. It costs nothing to contribute a charge point to the database as businesses do. It costs £3 to get access to details of others' private charge points as individual members ...

Re: 41.3p per kwh sell back

whilst avoiding giving money to people who have already installed PV for environmental reasons. As a tax payer wouldn't I want to know that the new scheme represented value-for-money by adding new capacity, rather than simply handing more money to those who already had systems? Those who already ha...

Re: Details for next years UK electric car subsidies announced

Great news! All we need now are some cars that can do 70 miles on a charge, more than 60mph and are significantly cheaper than the Tesla Roadster. Do these cars have to be production vehicles, or could a kit car manufacturer release a turn-key range that fits the bill? Crash safety: • EC whole vehi...

Send me...
