Anyone been raptured yet?

I've really tried to write something light and jolly, and I've nearly succeeded. llewellyn.substack.com/p/an-embarra...

A nod in the direction of my serialised techno thriller, Time&Money. I release a chapter a week, (23 so far) You can read the first 4 chapters for free. Have a look if you are in the least bit interested. No obligation, it might be fun. therealtimeandmoneynovel.substack.com/p/time-and-m...

This is a really intruiging little electric car. The Nissan Micra is based on the very popular Renault 5 (battery, motor, running gear are the same) Micra starts at £22,995 and R5 at £21,495, both eligable for UK electric car grant. youtu.be/qfj_v0LGWSs

Just a stunning program about a massive civil engineering project in Canada. This is better than the proper telly I used to do 20 years ago! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yI4...

Just shown my family this advert from 14 years ago. Still holds up I think www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn__...

I love this. Can't remember where I found it but so glad I kept a copy.

I was lucky enough to potter along in a Genesis GV70 for a week. It's a big, posh SUV, but it's 100% electric, so if you 'Have to' have an SUV, this would be a damn fine choice. And yes, it can tow. youtu.be/RzI-HKJSXes

I have nothing to add to the debate on the murder of Mr Kirk other than this. www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass...

We are in Rotterdam filming the new Nissan Micra. Yes, it is rather similar to the Renault 5. But it has a couple of interesting differences. Review coming soon to Everything Electric Cars on the jolly old YouTubes.

What you see is a row of wind turbines by Rotterdam docks, what you can hear is a massive oil refinery that is very smelly.

I have to admit, driving the Polestar 5 was a bit of a high point in 15 years of testing electric vehicles. youtu.be/WJ_kuQYblXs

VW are really going all in on electric vehicles. The new line up is looking very interesting. Jack explains: youtu.be/bH4FRqx4dLo

Away from the clatter and banging of global political struggles and strains, a spider has been busy overnight

Had a little rant about a couple of people, nothing special about either of them . . .yet. open.substack.com/pub/llewelly...

This is a beautifully shot and edited episode featuring amazing electric speed boats on a stunning lake in Canada. Even if you have no interest in electric boats, Canada, future technology, or James May sinking in it, it's still a great watch. (contains waterskiing) www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmsA...

We are shooting an episode about the BYD Atto 2, launched today in the UK. Very competent machine, very easy and relaxing to drive, really roomy inside. More on Everything Electric Cars soon

Today I’m pootling around in this It’s the brand new BYD ATTO 2

I’m learning jaw dropping engineering stats from the incredible team at McMurtry Automotive. It’s hard not to believe that the UK does produce some truly incredible engineers.

I am having fun today. Pootling around in this lovely Renault 5

Big Oil and Big EV Chargers. It's a bit of a contradictory mixture. As usual, I'm conflicted. llewellyn.substack.com/p/big-oil?r=...

The XPENG P7 is very very impressive. And it's coming to UK an Europe. Elliot Richarrds has a close look in the latest episode from Everything Electric Cars youtu.be/UQ8-gBJ7yV0

Dear UK: This is fracking. Avoid it. "The team found that 127,000 Americans and over 100 sensitive facilities like schools and hospitals are located within two miles of major oil and gas leaks. This exposes vulnerable populations to an invisible, odorless, and harmful mix of pollutants..."

A huge pleasure to host @bobbyllew.bsky.social on Transmission. Zapheap, Scrapheap, 500,000 mile EVs and what the clean energy future might look like. On a personal note, what an impact those shows had on inspiring the next generation of engineers. Thank you for coming on!

I wonder if the frenzy, panic, worship around 'artificial intelligence' is a bit of a bubble? I'm not saying this technology isn't important, although it is using nation state levels of electricity, but I think we might see a leveling down of interest and the emergence of real use cases for AI

I've never pretended that dealing with the power and industrial strength of China is easy, or our very close relationship with America is entirely beneficia. All our views on both nations are being challenged right now. Pod with the ever delightful Elliot Richards. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rPV...

Okay, here's the link. therealtimeandmoneynovel.substack.com/p/time-and-m...

Can't help being a little but thrilled at the fact that the latest chapter (19) in Time&Money (my serialised techno thriller experimental novel on Substack) has had the most readers of any chapter. (It's still very modest) but it's growing. Not positing a link because that could seem cheap and needy

Just posted latest chapter in my serialised techno thriller novel, 'Time&Money.' Chapter 19, still a very modest, but growing readership. You can see more here: therealtimeandmoneynovel.substack.com/p/time-and-m...

Farewell Prometheus, the Greek God who gave us fire. Um, thanks mate, it's been great, but we're moving on. llewellyn.substack.com/p/farewell-p...

Possibly the most expensive electric car I have ever driven, and I feel guitly because I really enjoyed it. And possibly the coolest car Jack has ever driven, and he didn't feel guilty because he's sensible, and we didn't compare them. Not at all. Not even a bit. youtu.be/2XYdvEvbhKs

Sandy Munro is an amazing engineer with many decades expereince of the rapidly changing car industry, particualrly in the jolly old USA. It's always a delight to catch up with him www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5m7...

UK sky. Has anyone seen a very clear blue/green line of light rising strongly in the east and arcing across the sky. Too dull for my camera phone but confirmed that I’m not hallucinating by wife and neighbours.

Just seen another ridiculously pathetic attempt at 'marketing' ... or something. It was at the bottom of a recipe page. The enshitification of life will continue unabated until no one ever responds to tragic 'clever' ads like this. So no chance of that happening.

Driven past these vast monoliths many times. Gone now. All gone. Bye bye coal.

What a sad sack orange loser. ‘Art of the deal’ my …. Behind.

All gathered in 4 square meters. Windfall Bramley apples and wild blackberries from the hedge. Apple and blackberry (gluten free) crumble coming up

Latest news update. Lots of exciting and fascinating stories covered, mostly positive and uplifgting, filled with hope and joy. And maybe a bit of mild ranting www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qb_...

I scrawled something about the VP's visit to posh-land yesterday. It all sounded vile enough, but I've just discovered it was even worse. 22 monster trucks blocking ALL the disabled parking spots, for 3 hours, engines running. Tosser. llewellyn.substack.com/p/an-utter-d...

We had a visitor from America in our neck of the woods yesterday. Nothing unusual about that, the area I live in is very popular with American tourists. This one did make a bit of an entrance though. llewellyn.substack.com/p/an-utter-d...

I sat outside this pub sipping a shandy in June, 1975. Paul and Linda McCartney stopped at the junction in a green convertible Rolls-Royce. Linda McCartney waved at me and smiled. Then they whooshed away. A very memorable moment. What’s one of yours.

Imagine being Canadian, having had a long and mostly mutually beneficial relationship with your nearest neighbour, and then one day they go completely batsh!t crazy. A wonderful and mostly optimistic conversation about Canada and renewable energy and electric cars www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBvA...

Me and the Mrs have been together for 37 years. Never saw that coming. llewellyn.substack.com/p/37-years?r...

I mention this every week, and every week about 3 more people read some of the book than read it the week before. #time&money At 1pm today another chapter in my substack released techno thriller 'Time&Money' is released/ therealtimeandmoneynovel.substack.com/p/time-and-m...

The Lucid Gravity. We can get all moody about expensive electric cars, but some company's are really pushing the technology and I think that's a worthy aim. Check out @twobitdavinci.bsky.social brilliant review of a truly remarkable car. youtu.be/d_BVaGsVvBU

In about 2 hoursd a video will appear on the EverythingElectric channel about an electric car with 450 miles of range on one charge. I think it's very interesting. I will post a link as soon as it's live.

Writing this on an iPhone. Eeeeeuuuuuww.

Yes, it's windy, yes it's not always windy, but now when it is, we get the vast majority of our electricity in the UK from trump goading 'windmills.' They do work, they are not a con, they don't kill whales, anyone who believes that dumb garbage deserves our maximum derision.

Talking to @bensullins.bsky.social about moving from San Diego USA to Madrid, Spain. SOme very interesting stuff about EVs, european cities and public transport www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf89...

Another find in the piles of junk, old letters, script ideas and half finished hand written novels. Me in LA in July 1987, posing with the car I was loaned during my stay. A pretty little red Corvette. ITLDU And yes, I was posing like a tosser.
