    Renault going all electric from 2025

    True the initial development costs are massive. I’m not sure what we spent but it was millions before the company decided it was unfeasible without billions of government subsidy and stopped it.

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    I assume you mean hydrogen, ethanol is biofuel like veg oil etc? If you mean hydrogen it’s difficult to make, distribute and ultimately less efficient than using electric. It will likely be used for traditional diesel usage like ships & heavy plant vs passenger cars.

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    Too put it simply yes, evs are going to be far greener and efficient than burning fuel can ever be, even if they are supplied by fossil fuel power stations. It saves on emissions because it consolidates them to a single focal point where carbon capture technology can be used. The main issue for...

    Renault going all electric from 2025

    Majority of Teslas are good for 200k and only lose 10% capacity by that point. If anything evs are already more reliable than ice cars, Not many do 200k without some form of engine work/maintenance.

    I’ve got these they’ll go through anything but they are extremely expensive… :ROFLMAO: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/drill-bit-sets/0696976?cjevent=e11e1339842c7c3dd25893e72903c327f705fe701366230df&cm_mmc=UK-CJAFF-_-Skimlinks-_-UK+Homepage

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    Issue is those cable/networks aren’t up to spec so would need replacing so we’d end up with another open reach situation. A lot more difficult and costly to do vs focusing your infrastructure in specific spots.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    Far simpler to put all the r&d into making electric cars do 4-500 miles a charge and charge up in 10 mins at a “charge station”. Rather spending a loads of money on fixed infrastructure that will be outdated in 10 years time.

    Sounds about right. Mines 7.5p per kwh at home Around 30-55p per kWh on our public chargers

    That’s in 2030 which is ages away so I imagine you’ll get an vw Up for that much by then.

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    Not really sure you can call it a city car when it’s likely the similar size as the current Megane. More comparable platforms from vw dub already have a range of 330 right now. so it’s not really good enough from Renault if they expect to compete in the ev world. Then again this is a Renault...

    Hopefully they improve the specs 250 mile range isn’t going to be very good in 2025.

    New Megane 2022

    Not sure what Renault are thinking with that the specs are terrible. Only get a 40kwh battery with the entry level or a 60kwh with the top spec. Even the MG evs come with a 70kwh pack now.

    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    In fairness price isn’t unrealistic, If insurers are paying out nearly 9k for the low mileage non desirable colours then these have got to be getting up there.

    Well credit to Milwaukee, my stubby packed in a few weeks ago still within warranty by about a month. But I don’t take particularly good care of my tools and it looked a bit of a mess so wasn’t expecting them to repair it. They've only gone and replaced it with a brand new one.

    Storage for bolts, nuts, screws, fittings PLEASE

    Whilst the pack out ones are very nice the clip system they use leads to a load of unused space which is annoying.
