Spoken to a friend who lives in Norway and the low temperatures do cause EV owners issues there as temps drop well below -30c at times.

I think it’s fine if you have an overnight power source to plug into, leaving an EV in freezing conditions at an airport for a few weeks with a low battery is going to be more of an issue.

If there was such a requirement, the onus would be on the enforcement company to prove you did not shop. Check the detail on the car park notices. Based on what you have said, it...

I heard about a diesel bus that caught fire out around here a little while back, it was long enough ago that I can't remember the specifics of when/where but, curiously, it didn't make the BBC News page? Exactly! If you accept the evidence from Neal’s YouTube link above, the media emphasis on EV fi...

Wiring Up, Pg 7, Item 6.

Looking at the original build instructions I sent you, you’ll see all grounds go to the bridged input RCA sockets ground tabs, as does the earth wire from the IEC socket.
