I assume he wants to hotspot multiple devices, tablet, laptop, phone etc. an/or others in his party.

I just use an old phone as a hotspot and get a €20 Vodafone X sim.

DPF (as far as I know) isn't fixed by long distance. It's fixed by running at a certain temp for x period time. Usually higher revs. Which isn't always the case with long distance driving. Having to take a car for a 40 drive at high revs to clear a filter which I did every fortnight, was...

Greens just copied the EU which is why places like France and UK etc did the same with diesel. Also Greens were a minority in those governments. Why does the majority party get a free pass. For me the costs of DPF, EGR was about 3k combined. Lot of that is labour due to poor access to them...

Can't argue with that. I downsized. As it seemed weird to buy a massive SUV at big expense and use it as intended about 2% of the time. Like the idea of a weekend barge though.

eClass perfect city car.

I think you'll be saving more money on running an EV then a ICE. Which is another reason why they like them as taxis. Any way my point is fuel cost is only a small part of the advantages of an EV. It's another value added. Unless you're doing mega mileage. Which we know from the data the vast...

If your o Theres people still waiting for hydrogen cars, even as their promise fades away.

Not entirely sure why you'd think fuel saving was the only reason to buy an EV. I'm 97% city driving and I think it's a vastly better experience in that environment.

That's like waiting for years to upgrade a computer because the next one will be better and cheaper. Buy what you need (or want) today.

Car and charger don't always talk properly to each other. One ignoring the other.

They mostly bought other people's ideas and technology. Remote working existed with other companies before the big boys jumped on it. I've done my stint in these places. Often as a contractor. You're just a disposable number. Apple continued without Steve Jobs more than once. No one here is...

That's not how the 20-80 thing works. One sort of person doing that mileage of mileage might embrace the EV to save a lot of money on fuel and servicing. If someone doesn't want to. Thats valid for them. I could see someone not wanting to bother with it.

I think it's more common people do a lot of extra hours and get a tiny fraction of it back in recompense. It's got nothing to do with remote working.

Actually it's a contractor mentality. If you devalue your time so will other people. No shortage of work if you'll do it for free. Try get a builder to work on Sunday for free, or a plumber to throw in a few hours extra. Should I work more hours because I'm 5 mins walk to work, should I work...

"...work more hours now then when I was in the office but I am spending 15 hrs a week less in the car so it is a fair trade off if I give some of that time up...." It's not a fair trade off. What you're doing is reducing your effective hourly rate. Working hours have nothing to do with how...

Like I said does that mean the admin staff in a hotel can't work 9-5 because the night porter thinks it's unfair. There are people who hate the idea of paper work and sitting at desk all day regardless of where it is. You make it sound like no one's prefers jobs which aren't desk bound. That's...

True. But even in places like Holland there is still a lot of car traffic and local car traffic. That you'd prefer to be cleaner and less reliant on fossil fuels.

Someone using a battery at home for solar is effectively already doing this. As they fill the battery at off peak rates on or Solar. Then at peak time time use the battery instead of the grid and expensive peak time rates. An old car battery could easily be repurposed for this. Wasn't that...

Quite a few on the EV forums on other sites have installed solar and a battery and use it to charge their EV and give the excess back to the grid and get paid for it. The use the battery for other household uses. You don't need to be an engineer there are companies that will do that for you...
