Why aren't don't all industrial buildings have solar..
Weight is no longer a problem
Love seeing all the cool stuff happening at #EverythingElectric in #Sydney. Sadly I can't be there, but I'll be at the Melbourne one later this year. With a little luck, that'll be having driven most of the way around Australia and only needing to get back home from there to finish the trip.
Future engineers were well represented

#EverythingElectric Show Sydney thoughts...
So many EVs.
CT is uglier in the steel. Absurdly wide.
Cadillac? Very big, but looked ok.
YT celebrities spotted, Gavin, Sarah, Neerav, Robert, Elliot, Imogen, + some "I know that face". 1 Minister (Bowen)
My winners:
(I like small but not tiny cars - quick is good)
Smart Brabus
Zeekr X
Lots of model Y competition
Overall:
Deepal E07. What a cool design. A CT done better, for normal people. @KiwiEV tried to break the tailgate. He failed.

This video is spot on about destination chargers needing to be ubiquitous and to get them installed anywhere and everywhere.
The fact that you can do this sort of installation on semi-standard industrial-grade electricity supplies, and install it in less than a day, is an amazing engineering feat.
As always, something interesting from the #EverythingElectric crew.
A curiosity that was 10 years old but new to me: the VW XL1. An early plug-in hybrid diesel electric, this car was limited to 250 examples produced, and with prices starting at £119K were more than double that of the Cyberster, even without adjusting for inflation. #EverythingElectric
I have to mention the #MG #Cyberster, making its second appearance at an #EverythingElectric show following the London one earlier this year. A great looking convertible #EV sportscar with scissor doors and a (for a sportscar) affordable price tag of £55K. Being rather tall, however, I don’t really fit in it, which is perhaps just as well so I can’t be tempted to get one!
Some final thoughts about #EverythingElectric North. It’s obviously much smaller than the ones I’ve previously attended at Silverstone and Farnborough, with fewer exhibitors (not a single car charger network attended, for example) and no obvious product launches that I noticed. Many exhibitors were however more focused on serving the north of the UK, which suits me fine because I happen to be planning to help someone with a house renovation there soon.
The amazing Fully Charged Show/Everything Electric team at the end of another fabulous show, this one in Harrogate. So much enthusiasm for a clean energy & transport future, and so many brilliant pieces of a better future already in place. Don’t just watch this space - come and join it.
The last panel discussion of the weekend at #EverythingElectricNorth - “How do we make battery electric vehicles accessible for everyone?”
Matthew Adams of REA, Richard Mallender of Energy Saving Trust, Martin Revill of Urban Foresight, hosted by Imogen Bhogal.
Talking about physical #accessibility, how to make the charging network understandable and physically easy, plus financial accessibility.
#EverythingElectric #EVs #mobility
Quentin Willson also talks of the carrot approach - more benefits for micro cars could include free parking, drive in a bus lane, and so on. Drive change with very low cost legislation. #EverythingElectric #EverythingElectricNorth #Rightsizing
Brilliant talks at #EverythingElectricNorth today too - #ElectricVanMan Paul Kirby is talking to Jack Scarlett here about the problems with ever more giant cars, and how to give people reasons to do something different.
“Rightsizing: time to shrink our overweight vehicles?” #EverythingElectricNorth #EverythingElectric
As Jack Scarlett says, the mega-sized Merc EV cars with 150kW batteries are an ‘eco disaster’ not efficient. Consumer trend towards SUVs needs a policy perspective to limit this, argues Dr Euan McTurk.
