Jealous. Gallery is on the list and not got there yet.
Have looked at getting to Edinburgh for a short break a number of times but not sorted it yet. Costs a million pounds on the train, and it's quite the drive. Not one for the Zoe, unless feeling masochistic.
Might work out the journey time actually, just for giggles.

..........(about £1, no local co2)........ ...not sure I get the relevance of this. CO 2 isn't particularly a local concern, more a global one. CO, NO x and particulate matter might, however, be seen in a different light. Were there another 431 cars charging in Tesco alongside you?  |

Scottish Govt is aiming to phase out new petrol and diesel cars by 2032, so it should last until at least I retire.
I think the £££ being spent to subsidise home chargers (£500 grant from OLEV and up to another £500 in Scotland from the Energy Saving Trust) would be better spent building up a public network though.
I've never heard an EV driver say they got an EV because they'd get a free home charger.
And I wonder how many EV buses could have been bought for the price of Edinburgh's Trams....

CO2, please. I should hope we have more than the Internet average of Chemistry O-levels between us.

Listen, when you type on an iPad and you're in a shortbread coma and you've been fighting to get "argy-bargy" not to come out repeatedly as army-Barry, or arty-bargain or any other variant that autocorrect insists upon, and anyway you didn't mean that particular gas, you're lucky you got a comment at all, sunshine.
And now I'm going to rush up the stairs wailing "I don't want to talk about it".

Or electrocuted plugging in the car charging cable. I assume he's just enjoying a new car  I think it will be my turn next (mine a Skoda though) and then Nogbad's excellent 540i AWD estate. Which will be costing probably 70+% more than my 'cheap' Skoda. |

Knowing Al's uncanny knack of rummaging through a fruit bowl of cars, and unerringly coming out with the lemon, I suspect it caught fire and burned down the house when he plugged it in. |
