Amazing bit of common sense on the Battery VAT change. Does a government minister want to install one at home? 🤔

That 7k intake will unfortunately by this time next year be about 4k going on my apprentices class, over half dropped out before the end of the 1st year, very sad

That implies either: the course or delivery is at fault, or natural selection removed unsuitable candidates that would ultimately be poor tradesmen.

So whirlpool are trying to pass the but yet again by blaming something else for their failure. Great news weekly as always Joe. Oh and I’m still haven’t received my two prize’s from before Christmas. It really doesn’t bode well does it .

Actually, to play devil's advocate for a second, the tumble dryer affair has nothing to do with Whirlpool. The poor bastards bought the hopelessly inept Indesit group weeks before the tumble dryer news was tactfully released to the press. The Hotpoint and Creda brands were deemed too valuable to be held responsible for their own reckless ineptitude and Whirlpool has carried the can the whole time. In the UK, Whirlpool had such a small presence at the point they purchased Indesit/Hotpoint/Creda that it was decided that Whirlpool should move its' tiny operation in to the dilapidated Hotpoint facility in Peterborough. All but a tiny number of Whirlpool staff were laid off, including senior managers and directors. The entire Tumble Dryer fiasco is a Hotpoint legacy problem and it's been managed entirely by the old-guard Hotpoint staff in Peterborough while simultaneously blaming Whirlpool for the whole thing. They're a disgraceful company run by greedy and selfish criminals.

Here's the problem with moving to countries with federal systems, like, I don't know, Canada, as a random example: federal income tax, state income tax, federal business tax, state business tax. If you're an electrician, and you think 40-60k is a lot of money (firstly, what are you even doing with your life anyway), have a _proper_ look at taxation first. Yeah, you also get deductions too, but systems that run like that are extremely complex, which is another headache.

Since the whole Whirlpool debacle broke out in 2015 I've been keeping my eyes open¹, and I've found at least 3-4 of the affected units *still* in active service in various places - One of which was a guest house in a popular seaside town. It's quite clear Whirlpools recall efforts are lacklustre at best in this respect, and in some cases (Including the Bhatts, if their dryer was the source of ignition) could even be dangerously negligent. (¹ - Noting I'm not a Sparkie/tradesperson, don't visit many homes at all, and I get out very little compared to most. To still identify and alert on 3-4 affected units with such a restricted range of travel suggests that there is something going extremely wrong at the Whirlpool end.)

Better than people charing cheap electric scooters indoors 🔥. Batteries are normally installed outside or in outbuildings anyway so not much chance of buring the house down.

@andrewraine8207 4 ай бұрын

Something to bare in mind is the outdoor temperatures as some battery system can start throttling power at below 10 degrees Celsius and the datasheets might not mention this.

I’m against 0 rate againt ev charging being made should target 250kwh to 350kwh or above should comply to improve flat areas etc , shopping comple , ev owners will buy 32kwh chargers regardless but it’s thfe super charger network that needs a major overhaul, as we are seriously going backwards than forwards.
