Sarah Butler needs to know the difference between ‘load’ and ‘gross vehicle weight’?

I have a Kenlowe engine heater. I am looking into easily plumbing it into the HWC coil and running it on Octopus Go, for domestic water heating. 3kW timer and a thermostat on the tank. Initially continue with the NG boiler (‘cos I like the fine control of the gas hob, for cooking) for limited space ...

Can’t possibly be! Must be all those “Pro EV” lot telling porkies!

I await the responses, from the “Anti-EV” mob, to these very official and unbiased figures.

I fully expect wind to gain more traction, well both increasing renewables.

However, the Ukrainian gas supply, to Europe from Vlad, situation may mean more gas-fired generation export in the next two or three months. Just another factor to accept when the luddites quote cherry-picked data.

……// I assume, with more wind having come on line during 2024, that will operate throughout 2025, plus additional capacity that comes on line in 2025, wind will win ..... maybe, hopefully, this year. Be a lovely milestone. It won’t just be wind - it’ll also be helped by more solar, too. Even import...

Shouldn’t it have spots and splodges if it was a jaguar?

Question: How would that affect turbines that are turned off by the operator and not the National Grid? My answer would be “nothing at all, because they were not curtailed”.

Maybe some turbines shut down due to the high winds?

My view is that they only need to produce necessarily big EVs, not the unnecessary chelsea tractors. How fast is dependent on local restrictions. Little point in 150mph cars on UK roads - but they might be OK on german autobahns, or track days. Reduced top speed with the same power leads to faster a...

I’m with MrPablo. Auto is best, IMO.

It just means using the left paddle, for control, a bit more - and sometimes the paddle is not easily selected for the auto-hold bit. But I can cope with that. I know when I’m driving straight ahead or with a lot of lock on the steering.
