I've written an online application that allows you to check the carbon footprint of the National Grid. The data feed is updated every five minutes and monitors the carbon footprint and the grid utilisation, and reports on what sort of power station is producing the energy (coal, gas, nuclear, etc.) ...

Both my G-Wiz and my iMiEV are very good in the snow. I think with the G-Wiz it is very much dependent on tyres - some people get on well with them whilst others struggle. The low centre of gravity helps (the batteries in both vehicles are low down, close to the centre of the vehicle) and this, alon...

I pick up my brand new Mitsubishi iMiEV electric car at the weekend. 25 people have been selected to test them, so it will become my wife's main car whilst I continue with the G-Wiz. It'll be great to be a two electric car family. The iMiEV will be the main family car, replacing an MG ZS. I'm gettin...

Wow! That's a bit different from the mobility scooter you started with! Stunning.

I'm afraid we'll have to kick you out of the BVS though, that is far too good

Actually, from what I have managed to find out, the manufacture of batteries may not be as bad as the critics would have you believe. For sure, they are the 'dirtiest' part of an electric car manufacture, but not considerably so. From the charging point of view, of course, you can always measure the...

Unlike the journalist at the Daily Mail, I've read this report. I can say with confidence that the journalist at the Daily Mail has not read the report because he's taken figures entirely out of context to create his news article. The report is written for EU Policy Makers as opposed to electric car...

Thanks guys. I'm getting some very interesting responses. Over 100 people have filled in the questionnaire now.
