I spotted this car charging point on Saturday, and wondered how safe I would feel standing in a large puddle connecting my car to the mains.

Note - it seems strange that they allow this but have strict regulations regarding electricity in bathrooms ??

Perhaps it’s Clarksons local superstore, we all know what he feels about electric motors and their owners

I would welcome electric cars tomorrow, if it brings an end to the stupid noise emitted from boy racers cars. round here they only come out at night (when they wake up) and rasp for miles beyond the village.

If everyone is electric I would be happy with the silence 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -

When I was still working I had to gain a BTec qualification to work on the hybrid buses. the training involved a lot of Elf & Safety. Part of it being testing your PPE before using it, this included a pair of large rubber gauntlets rated at 1000VDC. To test each glove you attached it to a pump and inflated it then plunged it in to a bucket of water, if there were no bubbles you could put them on and play with the 600 Volt / mega amps battery packs  2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep

What "silence"? All electric cars have to be fitted now by law with "noise emitters" so that they can be heard. Boy racers will just arrange louder noise emitters - and perhaps related to exotic sports cars rather than the euro-box that they are driving. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Not quite true, have to be fitted yes, but they only have to sound under 18 mph......authorites assume if you hit somebody over 18 mph they should have heard the tyre noise like any other vehicle, PARDON?  Regards
