The RHS are also using RAW to fit chargers their sites. For example: https://electricdrives.tv/raw-charging-is-bringing-evs-to-the-uks-most-popular-gardening-group/ Cadw have partnered with Evolt...

Electric motors have been used to move trains and ships hundreds of miles everyday for decades (over 100 years in the case of railways and they are the primary method of propulsion on virtually every train on the UK network). The lithium ion battery was invented over 100 years ago and has been...

You do realise that the electric motor was first demonstrated by Micheal Faraday in 1821 and is used in everything from small wrist watches to huge marine motors?

That applies to the Borders Council area (ChargePlace Scotland don’t own their chargers, the local council does and they set the pricing), and AFAICT it doesn’t apply if you pay via Electroverse. Although I would still move my car anyway so someone else can use it because after 45 minutes on a...

Some of that is clearly a choice rather than a requirement. For example Ionity is always cheaper if you pay via Electroverse rather than PAYG direct, and the Ionity subscription can be purchased within the Electroverse app for the same monthly price. Live data feed is exactly the same as well.

Yes over the next few years ISO 15118 plug and charge will become the norm rather than the rarity. AIUI it works at all Ionity, Allego and Porsche (unsurprisingly very expensive to keep the plebs away!) sites in the UK and Europe although I’ve only used it (regularly) at Ionity sites. There are...

I’d interested to know how many ICE vehicles would actually meet all that criteria? Just searching Autotrader for ‘family cars’, petrol/diesel/hybrid, max 15k, 2022-2024 years reduces it from circa 440 000 to 2350 results and that’s before you’ve filtered for ‘low mileage’ and D-segment. I...

Prior to this investment by the council the commercial bus companies were investing in hundreds of battery electric buses. If this deal had been done 15 or even 10years ago I could understand but the writing has been on the wall for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles since at least 2020. This deal was...

If I was being really cynical I would say this partnership has bought BP (at least) four more years of selling fossil fuels largely (I suspect) at tax payers expense… But of course I’m not that cynical :rolleyes:

In news that surprises no one and probably of relevance to more than just this thread: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnv6e5l588jo

Passenger numbers from Inverness to Perth and Glasgow are down around 20-30%. There’s no reason not to think Stirling numbers wouldn’t be the same if the service had not been improved. It’s undoubtedly quicker via Fife if you don’t stop and the Perth-Ladybank section is free from any delays...

Not really sure what Dundee commuting has to do with it. Inverness passenger figures to the central belt are still down across the board form 2018. Edinburgh very slightly from 89280 to 89000, Glasgow QS much more from 68900 to 51550, Perth from 19650 to 13500. Stirling as we already know is...

What goes up must come down?

As I say Stirling numbers are still down, if you halved the number of trains how many would you loose to pick up a relatively small number in Fife. As I say a one hour wait is doable, if it was me and faced a two wait at Stirling I’d be looking at easyJet and going very light. Connections only...

You’re forgetting all passenger numbers are down due to covid and the post covid environment. Stirling is still down on 2018-how much lower would they be if the service was halved? Passenger numbers from Fife would have fallen regardless. Haymarket via Fife doesn’t offer cheap Lumo connections...

Passenger figures from Inverness to Stirling are just a smidge under 8000, Inverkeithing is 540, and Kirkcaldy is 1000. Stirling also acts as an interchange to the likes of Falkirk (another 1250). Even back in 2018 when they were running via Fife Kirkcaldy was only 2110 and Inverkeithing was...

Inverness-Stirling is a much bigger market than Inverkeithing and Kirkcaldy combined. Having a regular service between the two cities is going to be better than having an irregular one.

While there probably is a market between Inverness and Fife I’m fairly sure that anyone you gain in Fife you loose to Edinburgh. I lived there a few years back and it always felt horrendous to me: it took around two hours to get to Perth and felt almost as long again to get to Edinburgh while it...

West Midlands Trains services typically do it in 40 minutes with three stops, Avanti in 35 minutes with one stop.

I am dreaming that you actually provide links to any of your claims: — I’m not expecting one magic document. Like I say links or evidence for any of the following to support your claims: Because otherwise it’s just like your claim that Liverpool to London trains would spend more time...
