The Government are wilfully holding back EV adoption with the pay-per-mile EV road tax due to come in 2028 (maybe!) Here are my thoughts along with what I think the Government should *really* be focusing on: youtu.be/dTRGp7kVU-w 👈

We took a Renault Scenic to Holland for some culture, windmills, tulips, and A LOT of food and drink. The original Scenic had three full-size seats in the back. Will the new one be just as practical? It's road trip time! 🌷⚡️ youtu.be/JmsOt2srYeM

Eye-watering heating costs, house upgrades, slimy creatures, tatty chickens, trying to be David Attenborough, The Semi-Gay Mr. EV Dining Experience, and meet the fluffy new member of our family. It’s all in our latest house update after a year of living in the money pit. 🏡 youtu.be/vv3ksiKxGTg

The Mazda6e is coming to the UK next year. It’s big, sleek, roomy, and… Chinese?! I take it for a drive, poke around the interior to see if it feels like a real Mazda, and even pick up some Japanese PR speak along the way. Get ready for a bit of omotenashi! youtu.be/qlbE5NO3ih4

How much are used EVs going for these days? I join my good friend, Jonathan Porterfield, for his weekly auction video to chat bargains, Buzzes, beavers, big batteries and much more. ⚡️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=17zR...

I've always loved the original Nissan LEAF, but its 80-mile range (if lucky!) is tiny by modern standards. Let's see what's involved with replacing its battery with brand-new 50kWh modules from VIVNE. Is it simple? How much did it cost? What range will we get? Any stress?! 😬 youtu.be/Zv_7wTxrvL0

Grey skies? Perfect excuse to pour a glass of Italian wine and join us for some sunshine, scenery, and pasta-slurping 🍝🇮🇹 Watch our 2,500-mile EV road trip in the VW ID.7 Tourer ⚡ www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... 👀

After a great time in Tuscany and Lake Garda, we start the long drive home in the VW ID.7 Tourer via the Italian Alps with plenty of hikes, food, and opinions from my wife. (“Bleep” button on standby!) How was the trip, and how much did the charging cost after 2,500 miles? youtu.be/X4X6FVH3XIA 👀

We had solar panels and batteries installed back in April (thanks to @heatableuk.bsky.social), and it’s been a great summer of generation. ☀️ I’m amazed at how much profit we’ve made with export. Negative energy bills are a wonderful thing! youtu.be/1Hr0cJYT-3s 👈

Bought camera case on Amazon. Made in Italy — nice to support European companies, I thought. 1 month later, no delivery. I called them. Seems I'll never get it because "shipments from Europe are a nightmare after Brexit". Chinese stuff, no prob. European? Nope. There's something not right there.

I'll be at Everything Electric in Farnborough tomorrow. If you see me, say hello!

5 years ago today! My big Land's End to John O'Groats trip for charity in the Kia e-Niro with my sister-in-law, Ceci. We had massive support from the EV community and raised £3,300 for charity. Back then a trip like that seemed quite a big deal. These days? So easy! ⚡️

The adventure begins! From leaving home to crossing Europe, join us on the first leg of our journey down to Italy in the spacious, comfy, electric VW ID.7 Tourer. ⚡️ Get ready for stunning scenery and great food. *Lots* of food. 🍝 Andiamo! 🇮🇹 youtu.be/IFGCY4rutpw 👈

Thinking about an EV road trip? ⚡️ After countless drives across Europe — including our latest adventure in Italy — here’s my essential guide to charging, planning, tolls, and the kit you’ll want to pack. Buon viaggio! youtu.be/jY6GLlmgBkk

"You should use Instagram more", says my wife. "Tell everyone to follow you on there". So here I am to say "follow me on Instagram". If you want. No pressure. Although you'll make my wife happy, which is surely a good thing. www.instagram.com/tillathenun/

EV, hybrid or petrol—whatever you drive, have your say! Fill in EVA England’s survey so we can show the government what drivers really want. www.surveymonkey.com/r/56BHTBF

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this! I unleash my wife on the Skoda Elroq. Things get a bit sweary, sorry. youtu.be/YSiN-k4oAno

Meet the Škoda Elroq – packed with clever touches, classy vibes, and real-world 360-mile range. ✅ Lovely to drive ✅ Cosy, tech-packed interior ✅ Actual tactile buttons ❌ Slightly painful nav system 🐜 Tiny cup holders! So, this or the Kia EV3? 🤔 youtu.be/mTZAlHrfKew 👀

Solar and battery earnings in July from our @heatableuk.bsky.social install. Not bad! ☀️ Warning: Don’t watch the video if you have a chicken phobia. 🐔

EV batteries last longer than you might think! 🔋

It’s big, it’s bold, and yep — it absolutely devours the miles! I spent some quality time with the BMW iX xDrive40, hired from @evision.bsky.social and honestly? I liked it much more than I expected. youtu.be/RZuKHSqSMco 👀 (Fancy trying an EV from EVision? Quote MREV for 5% off the hire cost!)

You guys don't like hedgehogs then? That video is doing terrible! Ok, take a look at this from UpsideDownFork instead making a game out of YouTuber solar generation data. Featuring @danevsolar.bsky.social @timwaskett.bsky.social @tillathenun.bsky.social @sarahgogreen.com youtu.be/u3RV5ssxEgg

Our trusty 2015 24kWh Nissan LEAF is now for sale. It's been a great 2nd car for us but it's time it goes to a new home. We have one last drive, admire its practicality and looks (stop laughing!), and test battery health. It's 10 years old so it's destined for landfill, right? youtu.be/5sXkS7bru6U

Installed by @heatableuk.bsky.social back in April, our solar panels and battery have turned us into a mini power station. But here’s the real question: how much profit have we made from exporting energy? Wish we’d done this ages ago! ☀️ youtu.be/9neBv6aZI2U

I meet up with EV guru, Jonathan Porterfield, and compare his brand new Tesla Model Y to a BMW iX in the best way we know how: with a game of Top Trumps. Let the battle commence! I hope you enjoy this one. It's probably my favourite episode ever. youtu.be/qYP9KeV3cRs

Angry beavers, tipsy brothers, deciphering Petrolhead, stupid big cars, charging at InstaVolt Winchester, lovely car mats, and much more. A packed episode with even more family than usual: taking the ugly, comfy, BMW iX on a trip to see my folks. youtu.be/us5PocJdEPA 👀

I’m going to ensure “aggressively, maniacally calm” is on my gravestone.

A great day out this week at the @octopus.energy Energy Tech Summit 2025! Lots of celebrity guests and I met up with some friends @timwaskett.bsky.social @tillathenun.bsky.social‬ @sarahgogreen.com‬. Check it out on YouTube: youtu.be/ZTi0XFnLbks #EnergyTechSummit #ClimateAction

Here's my experience of the @octopus.energy #EnergyTechSummit. I had a great day and it was lovely to meet a load of viewers of the channel and talk about green tech with other enthusiasts. Featuring @speaktothegeek.co.uk, @tillathenun.bsky.social, and @sarahgogreen.com youtu.be/2bl9cKPOXp8

I was so excited to get my wife to try the Kia EV3, one of my favourite EVs at the moment. I thought it'd make a great replacement for our e-Niro. It turns out the e-Niro takes some beating, so EV3 takes a beating. 😬 youtu.be/qRe08yz0Jws

I had an absolute blast at the Octopus #EnergyTechSummit today. Talks spanned everything from AI to the Universe, EVs to marketing. I’ve come away feeling inspired, energised… and full of wine. Great to see lovely people like @timwaskett.bsky.social, @speaktothegeek.co.uk & @sarahgogreen.com too!

One week with the new Model 3: first impressions, a long journey, and I unleash my wife to get her opinions. Will the lack of stalks push our buttons? youtu.be/G6h8q7l-AkU

I'm probably going to have a mass exodus of subscribers, but our Model 3 Highland review will go live to everyone tomorrow (members only for now). Brace yourself... 😬 youtu.be/G6h8q7l-AkU 👈

It's the new LEAF! 🔋 52kWh (270 miles) or 75kWh (375 miles) ⚡️ 150kW, 80% in 30 mins 🗺️ Google Maps 🔌 Vehicle-to-Load (and V2G) 📦 437 litre boot ☀️ Dimming sunroof 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Built in Sunderland 🔌 CCS! Order books open in Autumn; deliveries Spring 2026. Price? No idea yet!

If I could design my perfect EV, here's what features I'd steal from brands like Kia/Hyundai, Renault, Tesla and others. What are your favourite EV features? Tell me in the comments! youtu.be/3EsZzQz2zxU

Watching the inevitable implosion of the bromance between two petulant man-babies isn’t quite as satisfying as I thought it’d be. It’s just another episode in the tawdry reality TV show that is Trump-era politics.

The solar panels and battery have been fantastic... but we've not generated as much as we'd hoped. Here's what was wrong, and how it was fixed by @heatableuk.bsky.social youtu.be/jA5OuUX5XzA

We're going to sell our beloved LEAF. Meet its replacement, collected from my friends at @evision.bsky.social who I'm thrilled to say are now a channel sponsor! ⚡️ Guess what EV we've gone for. It's a bit of a classic! youtu.be/7mfhj6fOOdg

13.5kW solar panels with 20kWh battery storage?! It's a monster setup! Here's how our @heatableuk.bsky.social installation went. We're thrilled with it! Sub on YT to follow our journey. Plenty of stats coming in future vids. 🤓 (It's been a great few weeks!) youtu.be/yJe8LfrG_8k

Mobile servicing is a wonderful thing! Thanks to Darren from Cleevely EV Mobile for the minor service on our 61k mile 2020 Kia e-Niro. It’s as solid as ever and still the same range as when it was new. The one issue? A split rear wiper blade. I’ll live! 😀

A 247 mile electric van for just £25,145?! (Incl. the UK Plug-in Van Grant) I take a close look at the Kia PV5 Cargo and spout some specs that may get van drivers' pulses racing. Could this disrupt the industry? youtu.be/-pPKQ6WFpUw

Men vs women, speed limit warnings, angry daughters, SUVs, Craig David, clouds, pointless hoodies, lots of swearing… and some stuff about a car. Flaviana reviews the “brutta” IONIQ 6. Chaos ensues. youtu.be/_K6_-MqwUak

Off to #EverythingElectric at London ExCeL driving the Kia EV3. I love this EV.

We've been paying a fortune for electricity throughout winter so I'm very happy to say we're getting solar panels and battery storage! 🔋☀️ So many decisions to make though! Find out what kit we're getting and who'll be installing it. youtu.be/SFGOi3J28l0

It's taken a while but we now have a Zappi! Here's how installation went, how to use it, and why I like it so much. ⚡️ youtu.be/h3YEkxA09pM

I just met with Dutch EV superstar, @electricfelix.bsky.social — what a guy!

An IONIQ 5, but more efficient? What’s not to like?… Fashionably late as always, I try the Hyundai IONIQ 6 and see just how efficient the slippery bugger is. youtu.be/5vOzIfZUpSo

A little tribute to Baby, who left us on Friday. Part of our family for 18 years and the most loving, gentle, playful dog we could have ever hoped to have. youtu.be/h540HN3s3zM

I intercepted Jonathan Porterfield on his way back to Orkney from Spain and we had a lovely little chat — mainly about how much we love the e-Niro! youtu.be/sB8sKb8RBq0?...

Sold my remaining couple of Tesla shares. Not to make any political statement but because I don’t see things improving any time soon. The Board lack the guts to get rid of Musk.
