I think you need to lose your arrogance and respond to posts in a respectful manner or this thread will be stopped.How come you find it so difficult to understand something so simple?

Even at the height of the fuel strikes it never took me that long to fill up. This sounds like an over exaggeration in order to try and make a pointI tend to have a long wait to get to a pump, then a long wait to pay. I would say half an hour.
Some EV's will soon recharge in 15 mins would you like to put a number on how many will recharge in 15mins and what infrastructure is needed for this to happen. EV's with larger battery capacities charged at home would need chargers of 7Kw or greater running for 10 hours or more to achieve a full charge overnight the household with 2 or more EV's will really struggleSome EVs will soon recharge the lot in 15 mins. But as it will not be fully flat more like 5 to 10 mins. If charged at home, it fills the tank overnight while in bed.
I have followed the progress of zero emissions cars for many years. I do analysis, being a graduate engineer. That is how we assess matters. I have addressed all points put forward. Most points given are people just no knowing, with others reciting oil company propaganda and myths.
You have quoted many pieces from the links you posted with most of what you have posted found to be utter tosh and lacking real world knowledge of the local DNO network and it's limitationMost were answered in the links I gave. The links many never looked at but then typed complete nonsense thinking they knew all the answers. Many asked question which can be answered by a quick Google. Many dismissed the links rejecting the content, unable to accept that what they have been thinking for years is wrong.
You have driven this debate from the outset and peppered it with biased links and dubious informationI have no interests in EVs, batteries, etc.
This thread started off regarding supplies, home batteries, etc, I never pushed it over to an EV thread, in fact attempting to get it on track. The battery technology is being pushed by EVs. The more they improve, the better for homes.
HMG is looking at banning the sale of new fossil fuel burning cars in ten years, bringing it forward 5 years. I never made it up, I gave the link.
Asda have 432 charging points and 631 stores thats less than one per store yet in your analytical mind it adds up to a lotASDA have a lot of chargers. The aim is to have a charger at every parking bay. Shop and get 10 miles free at the same time.
So the panels are dropping in price they are only a part of an installation what about the inverters, cabling and mounting hardware plus the labour to install it allThere is a solar farm on the English-Welsh border at Deeside. The world's first solar school is just outside Liverpool - 1961. Solar PV panels are dropping in price like stones - see the Seba vid. It will be as cheap to have solar tiles as ordinary tiles. All roofs are solar roofs as the sun shines on them all. The economics clearly stack up looking at all the panels on top of commercial buildings.
Look at the link to the National Grid man. That solves your misgivings.
Zero emissions at point of use is a red herring it uses tyres, windscreen wipers and other consumable items during the course of use, repurposing old EV batteries only delays the batteries ultimate disposal and deflects the associated emissions from the EV it started it's life inzero emission at the point of use is not a red herring at all. It is coming. About three years ago the transport minister abandoned the large scale electrification project, because zero emission battery and hydrogen fuel cell trains can fill the bill
I gave the Tesla one million charges battery to be announced within days.
So if it wasn't you who was it thenI did not labour the point of EVs on this thread.
Earlier in this thread you quoted EV points outnumbering PETROL STATIONS which is a very different statistic to the number of PETROL PUMPSDid you do a Google? I gave links to EV chargers outnumbering petrol pumps. That is not counting home charging either, which are being installed every day, with also public chargers being fitted every day.
It is far from a simple subject in fact it is quite complex once you dig into it and start crunching the numbersHow come you find it so difficult to understand something so simple?
I posted the details with links, yet a raft of posts come back asking the same question, as if what I wrote was false, making it up or exaggerating. This was not the fist time I directed people back to the links.I think you need to lose your arrogance and respond to posts in a respectful manner or this thread will be stopped.
It's an option on all BMW's and included if you have the business option fitted, most 5 series are bought as a company car and have this option fitted, so not rare at all IMO, and hereby lies the problem, all of your post are only your opinion most not backed up with facts, just manufacturers propaganda, this Thread has strayed so far away from it's original intent it is now far too confrontational, time to close it I think.I forgot the caveat (some people are so picky !)... obviously some ICE vehicles can do this already, but they are rare or you have to install them as a non-standard upgrade.
The Tesco filling station after I shop.Even at the height of the fuel strikes it never took me that long to fill up. This sounds like an over exaggeration in order to try and make a point
Or maybe it is not going your way, so you want to stop the game and take your ball home.time to close it I think.
You're right Mike... I completely forgot about the BMW 5 Series (with Business Option)... I should have looked at the facts. I feel such a fool. Last year they sold about 10k of them (out of 2.31 Million, being about 0.4% of all new UK car sales). So as you say, not rare at all.It's an option on all BMW's and included if you have the business option fitted, most 5 series are bought as a company car and have this option fitted, so not rare at all IMO, and hereby lies the problem, all of your post are only your opinion most not backed up with facts, just manufacturers propaganda
I recall the diesel BMWs (or was it Merc) had a narrowboat central heating boiler fitted as an option in the engine bay that runs on diesel. It preheated the engine and cab of course.You're right Mike... I completely forgot about the BMW 5 Series (with Business Option)... I should have looked at the facts. I feel such a fool.

During warm up an engine will be doing single figures in mpg equiv - the engine is 20% efficient anyhow, so down to around 10% on warm up.
Good point. But not in the current techno climate. Diesels will be outlawed in urban areas sooner than you think. London has emissions regs. Diesel hybrids were not accepted, petrol hybrids were.Electric vehicles predate petrol and diesel therefore EV is also old hat.
Same here.I'm not sure why someone who fully understands combustion engines would present such wildly inaccurate information.
Meanwhile next door in Kensington Chelsea..
There is planned an improvement in the Source London network of on-street charging points to expand from 15 points to over 40 – and half of those new points will offer much faster charging at a rate of 22kWh (compared to the standard 7kWh rate). We think that this will greatly improve our offer to residents and address the specific point raised by Mrs Canard Moreau at the Council meeting.
Additionally, there are around 60 electric vehicle charging sockets in our lamp columns, and we plan to increase this number significantly by this spring. This will greatly increase the density of our electric vehicle charging network, and provide residents with more choice.
Finally, officers are identifying sites that might be suitable for a number of rapid (50kWh) chargers, which allow vehicles to recharge in a short period of time – again offering electric vehicle owners an additional option.
Our aim is to achieve substantial coverage of charging points within 200m across the borough.
The most they have ever got from diesel engines were in large ship's engines running at constant temperature, speed and load - a mere ~50%. That is half the fuel in the tanks is wasted.diesel engine efficiency is generally at least twice that which you have claimed.
Name these people.People who work in the industry have repeatedly stated that existing infrastructure is insufficient to meet singnificant increases in demand. I'm not sure how copying and pasting the minutes of a London council meeting addresses that.

Road vehicles is around 30% at best. Hydrogen fuel cells are running at 60% in trains in Germany right now.
Name these people.
Once again. Look at the links I gave. Look at the Fully Charged vid with the National Grid man. Listen to what he says. On other vids the top man has said there is no problem in the transition.
You are spouting oil lobby propaganda. The same old stuck record for the past 10 years.
So these experts who say the the grid cannot cope are all the Sparks posting here, with nothing backing up what they wrote, while the National Grid expert (I gave the link) says the opposite. Are you serious when you write these sorts of things? LOL Are you having a laugh?At this point I'm done. The people I refer are those who have posted in this thread. While I do not currently work in the electrical industry, most of those posting are not only presenting cold hard facts, but cold hard facts based upon many years of experience.
Hydrogen is suitable for large transportation: ships, trains, trucks, buses, etc. Once trains take it up, the road vehicles will follow. Hydrogen can be produced by electricity overnight at train depots, so no transportation costs.
The current hybrid trains running on electric wires and diesel off the wires to Devon/Cornwall, from London, are designed to be converted to Hydrogen when the time comes.

I am not campaigning. I know the technology. I know where it is heading. Again, look at the Tony Seba vid, that will tell you which way we are heading. He does not even cover flat screen TVs and how quick they spread all over the world.
With living amongst the sheep you obviously think it is not a big issue. Like 90% of us, I live in an urban area, and I do not like having vehicles pour out poisons 24/7 amongst us.
Wise up. The Sparks on here are the ultimate authority. LOL, LOL.
