When the local BP was revamped in that fashion with all those facilities the price of BP premium diesel rose from being the most competitive for 30 miles to the dearest!!!Guy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 07, 2019 10:41 amMy local Esso was just re-vamped as BP. They've managed to squeeze in M&S Simply Food, Cashpoint, Jet-wash, WCs, Wild Bean Café, a small Subway, a variety of fuels at the eight pumps (Ultimate Diesel, Ultimate Unleaded, Diesel 'On' etc).
No sign of electric vehicle charging! Is this a Shropshire thing?

Another insightful quote:“Paul” wrote: Slightly off topic is this really interesting article...but along the same lines as above a very telling phrase part way down:
“With regulators and lawmakers, rather than customers, dictating what kind of vehicles can hit the road...”

“A 500 km-range battery costs around $20,000, compared with a gasoline engine that costs around $5,000. Add to that another $2,000 for the electric motor and inverter, and the gap is even wider.”
More R&D is required to improve density of power storage... batteries are still very large and inefficient.
This reminds me the size of my PC hard-disk in 1990 - 2-inch high internal drive was taking space equivalent of two floppy disk bays, to store 10 MB of data, then 2 years later 20 MB HDD was 1-inch high. Today, thumb-size memory stick has 1000x more capacity.
