And the greenies are advocating that charging cars can _only_ happen when the wind blows or the sun shines! You've made that up. No, it was on news at 10?? the other day. The greenies see this as the solution to storing (excess) energy from solar and wind turbines by using the batteries in electric cars. It was suggested that with smart power distribution that cars couldn't be charged if there was insufficient output from renewable green energy generators. -- mailto: news {at} admac {dot] myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Will I have to dash out and unplug my PHEV when it's full, so that Doris down the road doesn't start sucking charge out of it for her tumble-drying before I set off for work? |

No, not unless you have agreed to the sale of your electricity. However you may have your charger switched off when Doris switches on her dryer. Or pay more for using electricity at peak demand. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
