@EVUKexpert @QuentinWillson @evauk @FullyChargedUK (Sorry to post this publicly but I'm stuck). Having been a passionate promoter of EVs to all friends & family, one finally bought a Used Nissan Leaf. Within 3 days it was stuck in 'turtle mode'. The dealer won't return his £6k.

I'm so gutted. The EV garage is quoting £1.8k to fix, but he doesn't trust them to know if this is reasonable (they are HEVRA members). The battery had a high 120k mileage but 12 bars. He did a lot of research but what else should he have done? Any ideas how to help? Thx

Desperately disappointing news for #Wandsworth residents and others who are keen on a habitable planet.🧵 We keep having to remind this government that the economy is a subset of our environment not the other way round. The environment is where we live. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg4…

WOW – The IEA has boosted its latest renewable forecast by another 16% Just 9 months ago, in January 2024, its Renewables 2023 report forecast 3,200GW of capacity – mainly wind and solar – would be built around the world during the five years 2024-2028. Now, in Renewables 2024, it's significantly increased that forecast, to 3,700GW over the same five years – and a massive 5,500GW by 2030. It's now forecasting two-thirds more renewable capacity being built than just two years ago. buff.ly/47W3H1r

It’s old , and Australian , but it’s the same BS that will cost us £22billion . . . and all our futures .
Super informative, funny and savage takedown of the "carbon capture and storage" con, a non-solution to the #ClimateEmergency which just funnels more money into Big Oil's pockets - by @thejuicemedia, the good people who make these Honest Government Ads #climate #greenwashing

While the topic hasn’t got much attention thus far, the UK’s future approach to energy policy and tackling climate change will be shaped by how the country votes on 4th July. Some brief thoughts on the big debates / flashpoints to watch out for over the next 5 weeks…1/11 🧵
