Italy: sun, food… and me, inevitably, clocking every EV and charger I see. So would my wife’s family in Rome go electric? Not a chance. 😬 Here’s why... 🇮🇹 youtu.be/02wDWl5U7bY

Woohoo, I can monitor soil moisture levels now! Absolutely no clue if 30% is good or not though so I have some learning to do. Hopefully going to help make a nice garden gadget video for the summer coming up though... maybe a greenhouse involved too :) #EcoWitt

We've driven 1,500km from England to Italy in the big, ridiculously comfortable Smart #5 Pro. It's absolutely fantastic, but we've had a pretty big issue... 😬 youtu.be/N8swTsXw32Q

It is inevitable.

Seems legit

My column in @thenortherneco.bsky.social for this month today on what makes 2026 different to the energy crisis in 2022. thenortherneco.substack.com/p/this-energ... More renewable energy, less fossil fuel demand - does that mean we are shielded from the worst of the crisis?

Want a cheap EV and feeling brave? You can save thousands at an auction... if you have the nerve! I join auction guru Jonathan Porterfield to get his tips and tricks, follow a Model 3 buyer, and see what some great EVs fetch under the hammer. (IONIQ 5 for £15k? Oooh...) ⚡ youtu.be/1b_AguNH-D0

I quit game dev a few years back for various reasons but I'm really chuffed some of the last work I did is still remembered and is inspiring new versions in other game engines.

War again — and prices jumping with it. Madness that it's 2026 and the country is still beholden to fuel imports to keep the lights and heating on. If you're able to get solar/batteries, seriously consider it. Some energy independence using homegrown sun is a great thing. ☀️ youtu.be/T8G9HGSLGYk

Looking for a great value, good range, efficient, used EV? You can't go far wrong with a Niro. But do you get an old e-Niro or newer Niro EV? My wife and I compare the two, assisted by her amazing measuring technique. No, it's not a Nazi salute. 😬 youtu.be/ERZ6lYEQeAo

Yesterday I sold my petrol car of 10 years, so Kat and I are now down to just a single car for the first time in about 13 years. Only this time it's an EV, and we won't be going back!

Amsterdam is packed with EVs — many we don’t even get in the UK. 🇳🇱⚡ I chat to EV expert @electricfelix.bsky.social about Chinese brands, charging, battery swapping, and what China is getting so right. We also swoon over EVs from NIO, Zeekr, and Firefly. Will Europe catch up? youtu.be/jl_XoMuCiFs

John Ewbank, one of the researchers on this report, reached out to me for an interview as part of this research. We had a good long chat about our experiences with our A2A system. It's nice to see the YouTube channel get a mention on page 43. #GreenTech

youtu.be/d-22OKSRpqY?... My very clever brother has created a free online tool to help anyone in the UK who has solar to pick the best tarif. This video explains all!

Pond flooding, frozen batteries, solar performance in CONSTANT RAIN, Zappi issue, viewer questions, and discussing what we should replace our wretched electric radiators with?! Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin... 📕 youtu.be/ewTmGX4j9F0

To stick my oversized nose into the debate where Dale Vince appears to be chatting bollocks about heat pumps, here are some facts about my own perfectly working installation and the part it plays in the wider story of my home energy bills.

We finally have the UK price and specs for the Mazda6e. I moaned in my review last year about the odd two battery options so it's great to report that there's now just one: 🔋 78kWh LFP 🛣️ 348 miles WLTP ⚡️ 10-80% in 24 mins with 195kW peak 🏷️ Starting at £38,995 youtu.be/qlbE5NO3ih4

We really liked the INSTER when we test drove it at EE Farnborough last year. If we needed a second car we'd get one like a shot.

There are thousands of electric trucks in the UK, but where do they charge when they leave the depot? @gridserve.bsky.social have an answer, with new eHGV hubs at Exeter and Baldock. I got an exclusive first look, spoke to the team, and saw some very impressive machines! ⚡️ youtu.be/uGpcuiJccq8

Let's look at how much we spent this December compared to last year. Have the battery and solar panels helped, despite being stuck with the electric radiators?! Well, yes. But a heat pump is a definite priority for this year! youtu.be/PStChTdgRa0
