BBC show captioned picture of Hyundai electric Kona in article about recall of their ICE vehicles in the States . . anyone still have doubts there might be an anti-EV agenda going on here? ⁦@Gill_Nowell⁩ ⁦@FullyChargedDan⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/business-6640…

Sabby the cat would like it to be known that she has started enjoying gentle retirement, relaxing on any willing laps & sleeping on soft cushions & sunny window ledges. She’s still keen on all things EV & renewables, but at a generally slightly slower pace. She sends her love 💚
Awesome!!! . . words for the world 🌎

👍 fantastic George - look forward to seeing these on farms up here in the Dales too - and hopefully they’ll become more competitively priced as the electric atv market gains traction
A first step on the road to electrifying agricultural machinery here. This Ecocharger Pure @EcoQuads fully electric ATV is costing me nothing in 'fuel' as I can charge it entirely from renewable electricity generated on the farm. It's quieter than other ATVs too.

Clear messages like this chart from Austin, Texas, are a very good idea - the risks are clear & it’s more important to know now than ever... #BeResponsible #Covid19UK

My dads #NissanLeaf #V2G system was quite busy on Wednesday & Thursday helping to balance the power grid. Usually the system just exports power between 4-6pm. The import & export is controlled centrally via the Internet. #Vehicle2Grid #ClimateAction #Renewables #energystorage
Grass pollen . . it gets a mention on the weather forecast, it irritates our eyes, throats and noses, causing hay fever allergy . . but we rarely actually see it . . until now; clouds of it.... 🤧 #30DaysWild #grass #pollen #hayfever #NaturePhotography

I really 💕 this climate aware rap song, One Small Change, written and performed by the 23 children at the tiny rural @cappabue primary school near Cork, Eire. Filmed and recorded with @GMCBeats - great work! Such a positive message, these kids will make you smile @Gill_Nowell

The financial and environmental benefits of switching to an EV for the commute for us . . it’ll be different for everyone, depends on circumstances, but the savings will *always* outweigh the disadvantages of continuing to drive an ICE . . pic for @EVclicks #ev #electric

Another lovely cheap Agile @octopus_energy night for topping up the #Model3 tonight. Charging is scheduled to start at 10:30pm & run through until 5:30am, during which it won’t cost more than 5p/kW & will dip as low as 1.1p/kW for one of the half hour periods, love it 💚🐙 ⚡️😻

Went to the EV Open Day for Harrogate businesses, at Rudding Park, yesterday. Great to see all the interest & so many people taking test drives in the various EVs on display. Promoting the practical and BIK tax benefits of EVs to business 👏👏 more pics.. instagram.com/p/B7tdaqfn_-2/
This solar farm is a really superb example of how renewable power generating needs can be scaled-up to provide practical energy solutions that look elegant within the landscape & are very good for the environment - hats off to @GRIDSERVE_HQ - we looked around & took a few pics..
Check out this awesome video showing how we installed 90,000 #solar panels at our York site in just five months, bringing 100% clean #energy to thousands of households 🙌☀️ buff.ly/2tyugdU
