Thanks for the thought Mike, but like a few others on here I refuse to use facebook etc, and no, yes I have no instagram a/c. It can actually be delicious being IT ignorant/technically illiterate.

That it can.... if often suspend my accounts for a week/month or longer just to remove myself from it for a while.
I was reading about Nissan's hybrid system which will soon be seen here and it's different to most.
The vehicle only runs on electric motors powered by batteries. There is a petrol motor, but it never powers the wheels. Instead it acts like a generator and switches on as necessary to charge the batteries.
Nissan claims benefits including simplicity compared with most hybrids.
Will be interesting to see how it goes.

That is the most efficient use of internal combustion engine, run at a constant speed with no gearbox , The mazda system uses the same philosophy but with a miniature rotary engine driving the ' range extender' generator

SubscriberLooks like Vic is the first to jump. Proposing an annual levy on EV’s - around $200 a year by the sounds of it.
I’m sure they won’t be the last.
