For those of you outside of the UK, the right wing tosspot MP called Farage has resigned from parliament to avoid investigations into his funding. He immediately put his name forward for the bye election that follows. All other parties stepped aside now he’s up against a man dressed as a bin.

Congratulations Belgium Football 4 - 1 Soccer Cheats never prosper

The UK is now up to 2.1 million pure EV cars on the road. That’s around 430,000,000 UK gallons or 2 billion litres of fossil fuel not being burned in cars each year.

German EV sales up 78% in June 2026 (year on year sales) But I’m still reading daily that EV sales have collapsed worldwide.

“Rumours” are that the UK made it to 29.8% pure EV sales in June 2026, in a growing overall market. That’s almost 65,000 new BEVs on the road. In comparison, “Europe” including the UK is hitting 19.8% pure EV. Full data will be available on Monday.

@kiwiev.bsky.social saw this, thought of you!

The UK growth in EV adoption is picking up pace again. Let’s hope it continues, the infrastructure is ready, come use it.

Here in the UK even public EV charging can be cheaper than driving diesel. Actual figures from my past 1500 miles, VW ID.Buzz vs Mercedes Vito Diesel, all motorway driving. Vito 35mpg, Buzz 2.5m per kWh Ionity sub price 43p kWh, Diesel £1.90 gallon Vito 24p mile, Buzz 18p mile

OK forget about what I said yesterday - THIS is the absolute worst picture of Trump ever taken. So for fuck’s sake, out of basic human decency, do not retweet it and accidentally expose more people to it. Fuckface would be devastated.

UK April Car Registration figures have just arrived…

I don’t even want to turn on the news anymore:(

China’s response to America blocking fossil fuel imports to Cuba, which killed many people when hospitals lost power, including new born babies? They didn’t send fossil fuels, they sent engineers with 1GW of solar panels and built 75 solar parks. (In Spanish) argentina.indymedia.org/2026/04/25/l...

Let’s not forget that Zero Carbon electricity is just a pipe dream, it will never happen, net zero is a hoax. Oh, an inconvenient truth of the UKs grid at a moment in time this week. Personally I don’t think the 5% from burning trees should be listed as carbon free. Now we build to repeat this.

Just to remind all those “Facebook university engineers” that screamed you can’t have more than 5% renewable on the grid, and we’ll always need gas…. Yesterday in the UK gas dropped to 1.6% of demand, I missed that point in time but took an image at 2.5%.

@worldbollardassoc.bsky.social this little dude took out a bus!

I’ll just leave this here should any Americans drift by. Sir Kier Starmer (UK) firmly putting Trump in the same category as Putin. Once his carers explain this to Trump he’s gonna be mad.

UK March 2026 new car registrations. The first full month since Trumps PaedoWar started. Some extra context here, March 2025 was also a good month due to new taxes due April 2025. The past three March figures are 48,388; 69,313; 86,120

UK EV news. Autotrader UK announced last week that EV only searches increased by 28% on their platform. My own experience is that second hand EVs are starting to slowly increase in price. The car I bought for £24k in August would cost you £27k - £28k now.

UK Labour response to the latest energy crisis? Bringing the next renewables auction forward by around six months, getting bigger projects moving faster.

And Trump was even too stupid to refill the Federal Fuel Reserve before starting his war. Incoming poverty and recession.

It looks like the battery recycling plants are going to have a few more lean years. Charge cube exclusively uses re-purposed EV batteries to turn a 3 phase AC socket into a DC rapid charger or two. It’s even on wheels, so you can move it around your car park.

Just a reminder, we Europeans will be getting this EV in 2026!

The UK government has just agreed for a further 8.4GW of offshore windfarms to proceed. The strike price averaged at 40% less than building and operating the equivalent gas turbines.

Truly wild that the Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express & Daily Telegraph all covered false claims that net-zero will "cost" £7.6bn – or even £9tn – which assumes we could have free gas, free petrol, free petrol cars & free gas power plants if we scrapped net-zero More here: bsky.app/profile/drsi...

UK Public Charging network continues to grow. Both below 22kW and above 100kW grow strongly, whilst the number of “hubs” reaches almost 800.

UK full year Car registration details. No December rush this year as most manufacturers had hit their “soft target” of just under 21%. BEVs aren’t a fad, the UK has excellent infrastructure, over 1.2 million home chargers plus 18,000 of 150kW+ public chargers.

My right wing “friend” has just taken a permanent job in the UK rather than contracting. He quoted sick pay, job security, paid holidays etc for the reason to change. Obviously I’m going to take the piss when I see him, but are there any other benefits he will have thanks to the left I can use?

@volkswagen.bsky.social Hey VW, day 3 of the app control of the cars being down, how about some communication about what’s going on? Or just answer the service enquiries

Now…. This is lateral thinking www.theregister.com/2025/10/03/t...

Well tomorrow I’m doing the impossible, driving from Yorkshire to Spain in an EV with only 200 miles of range. I’m getting quite good at the impossible, this will be my third time 😂. (1400 miles each way).

I have to admit, despite being a grid engineer 20 years ago, I didn’t expect to be sat at home, charging 2 EVs, running a heat pump to heat water, charging my home batteries and doing washing, all for free and all to help stabilise the grid. 17kW pulling now, not bad on an 80Amp domestic supply.

My EV is in for a service, the dealership gave me a plug in hybrid loan car… It’s almost brand new, and already ruined. The battery (20kWh) was entirely empty and had never been charged, it took 20 minutes of 7.5kW charging before the gauge moved from 0%, so the buffer was empty too.

100, 120, 135, 150, 165. Nothing special, just the quiet progress of the maximum charging speed of the humble little Volkswagen ID.3 60kWh battery pack since its launch the end of 2020. 5 years, a lot of progress.

20 years ago I was hoping to be alive long enough to see Nuclear Fusion industrialised. Now I find my self just wanting to be alive long enough for all the anti-progress bullshit around wind / solar / batteries / EVs to have gone away.

Sounds about right.

Some time over the last few weeks the UK offshore wind farm Dogger Bank A seems to have sprung into life. When fully operational that will be another 1.2GW of wind available against the UKs roughly 45GW max demand.

A new solar record was achieved 8th July, which is a mild surprise as it was a very hot day.

Whilst the drivel and anti EV sentiment continues to pour out in the UK, quietly 25% of all cars sold in June were EV, and another 15% were plug in hybrid. Whilst I think PHEV aren’t necessary, they are a gateway to full BEV.

UK June 2025 Car registration figures are in. Overall YOY growth is 6.7%. Pure BEV is 24.8% of the market, up 39.1% YOY, PHEV is also 11.2%, up 28.8% YOY. So that’s 40% of the cars sold in June have a plug…

Just three news stories today from the UK, where tosspot right wingers are either breaking the law, worrying about flags or giving money back to world ruining billionaires. Right wing cockwombles don’t care about you or the planet, just making themselves richer, stop voting for them.
