Re: Breaking & recuperation

The way I thought it was explained: 3-4 levels of brake recuperation controlled by paddles on steering wheel. This only uses the motor in reverse to charge batteries Press the one peddle button drive button on centre console. Thus had 3-4 levels as well. But thus time the brakes will also be applied...

Re: non-zero-emissions cars to be banned in UK by 2035

Couldn’t agree more. All the moaning in the press about no plan and only a sound bite - did JFK set out a detailed plan to get to the moon by the end of the decade? Did Churchill give a detailed approach to fighting them on the beaches? Nooo. This drives the market and manufacturing in the right dir...

Re: Media interface

Yes that is good news about wireless Apple CarPlay
Not sure I side with the ABC charge philosophy - better for battery life and Manhattan only charge your phone to 80% and down to 20% or so. Likewise I’ve read a similar approach for EVs - only fully charge if gouts long way
