    EV are they worth it?

    BBC is the last place I go to for anything. They are nothing less than a license fee gansta. If you used youtube, you would not be in the hole you are in with a large number of ignition sources in your home.

    EV are they worth it?

    You don't actually need an o'level to know EVs are fire risks. You just need to use youtube and see all the lithium batteries spontaneously combust. Who needs this kind of risk, especially in a hospital where there are lots of immobile patients?

    EV are they worth it?

    Your bad. EV owners bend over for big oil and pretend they don't. https://service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/2024/en-us/GUID-E7469E86-090D-4A12-842C-7AAD00446096.html

    EV are they worth it?

    I am not bending over for big oil since I have lifetime oil, and I have a battery charging thread. Facts will be lost on you.

    EV are they worth it?

    You are asking for it. If you check the small print, you will find your house insurance is invalidated.

    EV are they worth it?

    What's the difference? You do same with big battery. In your case, it is worst, you get fire risk thrown into the bargain. The EV would not just burn itself but would also set house on fire, plus the neighbour's house.

    Dipping toe into painting

    Priming for the 4th panel was completed using R500, 1.3tip, 1.5bar, 3flow, 150ml. The result was pro quality. I estimated the paint requirement at 90ml, but gave it 150ml to allow for transfer loss from containers, strainers, etc. In the end, 150 was a little more than the actual requirement...

    EV are they worth it?

    The explosion does look similar to EV. Can't blame people for making the wrong assumption.

    EV are they worth it?

    This one has all the hallmark of a mobile/laptop igniting spreading to car, then to the pump, then to the other car. Lithium battery devices should be banned in petrol stations because the rudimental fire fighting facilities such as a bucket of sand would have no effect on a lithium fire.

    How did she work out what was exploding. A bang could be anything, take this one for instance:

    EV are they worth it?

    So the woman was some kind of a bus expert? Did she say what type of fuel, petrol, diesel, or lithium?

    EV are they worth it?

    Doesn't say it's not EV. If the firemen allowed it to burn out by itself, that would indicate an EV.

    EV are they worth it?

    I don't watch this nasty character, but he may have a point. China never did sort out the viability of EVs. Its only hope is that others are too stupid to realise it.

    Dipping toe into painting

    Training panel complete and going on the car. It's peely left and right (relative to the image), less peely middle and bottom. The debris on the final coat was sanded out and polished, leaving no marks. Wet sanding was possible for the whole panel and could produce significantly better result. I...

    Dipping toe into painting

    The next panel is the side skirt. It is estimated at less than 320mm x 2000mm = 0.64m^2. This is around 6.25 times the size of the current panel. It looks very do-able for the compressor. The primer and base coat should be easy-piecey. This is a serious panel, and I will be using the R500...

    Dipping toe into painting

    I ended up with a peely finish today. 2 turns from closed at 1.5 bar didn't work, giving a dull and dry look. I tested by going over with more passes. That made no difference. 2.5 turns from closed was better. Testing has to continue before the right setting can be discovered. Previous...

    Dipping toe into painting

    I have them already of different sizes. The degree of flex/sway on the outer branches gives a reliable indication of the local air current.
