Only one EV charger at home?!

My style of driving is to get into the highest gear possible as quickly as possible, while not making the engine labour.

With autos, when accelerating I find that they hang on in the lower gears for much longer than I'm used to. I find myself easing off the acceleration in order to coax it into changing up. Also, when reaching an upward slope, they change down earlier than I would in a manual. The general result is that the engine is often revving faster than I feel it needs to.

Do you mean the light is actually green but you have to call it blue?

It *is* a slightly more turquoise shade of green than in the West but it you don't answer "Blue" (in Japanese) you will fail the test. More here:

maybe traffic in Japan is just extremely fast making green look blue ;)

I wonder if it has anything to do with history? Either of very early traffic lights or from the Japanese railways?

On British railways, the old semaphore stop signals had "spectacle" lenses fitted at the pivot end of the arm, so as to show a red or green light at night. They were originally lit by oil lamps, which had a yellow flame, so the "green" lens was actually blue, so as to emit green light. Even when the lighting was converted to electric, they continued to use the blue lens and fitted yellow bulbs for some time.

We may never find out; all the rental vehicles are automatic transmission, in my experience.

Been there, done that, got the T shirt...

I tuck my left foot under my right when I start off. Well, usually...

Wimp. I had a 3.5 litre V8, until I blew it up.

But clocks are inaccurate.

They can't limit me. I can take the full 24kW if I want.

Mine are just crimped pieces of lead or whatever. Easy to get on Ebay for a couple of quid.

Until that s*it breaks. But if you pull a filler flap hard, it opens anyway.

I wonder how many youths will go around cutting through charging cables?

A hippy?

Never ever buy a car from a car dealer. They will disguise every fault.

For f*ck's sake, you run a wire form the nearest piece of electricity. Just how dense are you?

Don't use a duct. Cables are waterproof.

Without using a duct, nobody will care you tacked a wire onto the wall.

And your population just accepts this?

F*ck the regs. It's your house.

In English please?

The trouble is the car makers haven't made the cars to take more than 8kW on a single phase. Either cost or because they don't think anyone wants to.

But you can always create three phase from single.

So the only review states the first one shipped was faulty. And they have a picture of a 40A breaker and say it's 80A. Doesn't sound like a company which knows what it's doing.

You're in the UK I believe? Well Whatcar etc etc etc disagrees. "All petrol and diesel sold in the UK must conform to British and European standards - EN228 for unleaded and for diesel EN590. This means that they should all work in the same way"

Supermarket fuel is cheaper because they make a smaller profit. Just like their bread costing less than a baker.

In some countries that lack the 'effectiveness' of the UK HMRC at collecting tax, they have resorted to taxing via the electricity supply (which is difficult to evade, apart from lawless places like Africa).

The government steals from us, so we should steal from them.

Who gives a f*ck about insurance? I was actually told by the police on a routine stop I didn't have business insurance to sell stuff door to door. But they didn't give a s*it. They said the insurance might refuse to pay out. I said "oh dear". I mean seriously? Why would I be more likely to have an accident because there are products in the back?

You wanted him to fornicate while driving?
