Stop/start in an ICE car is energy wasting, but in an EV it&#39;s recuperation heaven. So it turns the metrics on their head. 😅 2026-07-31T07:41:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdefgsxcgzw56vtjqkzwyw02n2j92jq7lgec3r959tznaua40cz6czyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34c877kqp It&#39;s funny how much modern #EV predicted ranges fluctuate. Obviously depending on software, but our ID.Buzz bases future range on recent past driving, I think a lot of EV brains do. It tends to do a lot of motorway and fast roads in #France and the max range prediction hovers around 320/330 kilometres. Here in #Italy it&#39;s the only car with us for a month and it&#39;s doing all the ducking about, so now the prediction is close to 400 kilometres. EVs much prefer shopping trips to motorway runs. 😅 2026-07-31T07:18:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrfddjzrz50wgcz8njx2dhcxrtaj9ffml5n2awz6ratjse9r9wyxczyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34c4a982h In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswkvf4n0wgrcrwyegcqfssej75awm9n3zu6d5wagmcr239f7uqwuq6a0rkm'>nevent1q…0rkm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think you can go up to 750kg without brakes?

Was looking for a couple of months though. My mate reckons it was probably nicked at some point, because the serial number is scratched out, but I doubt it was the last owner who nicked it. It&#39;s a really old trailer, would only have been worth nicking 20+ years ago! 2026-07-11T09:06:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstw7k0skyc8q52fpvxfk0qt4hevuef066kcd428tqumr7du3lt53qzyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34cp5dehp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvp8df49qvu998r9edpmlckf557l6yauljjpnx6yg7yxem7wssfdcrvk92v'>nevent1q…k92v</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ha, it&#39;s great to have a trailer. My old 940 never had a tow hitch and it was like €500 to add one, so I never got round to it.

I think economic pressure from supermarkets, changes in buying habits, increased government requirements, loss of funding support, essentially made farming difficult to make a living out of. Most of the farms closed because the next generation didn&#39;t see any future in farming, because of all of the above. And super farms bought up the land. 2026-04-29T20:18:15Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv2gkfzftg2xa4lcd6alha22g08nrh45pqxys9f2vksg6xnz05j3gzyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34ckgn34s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspxy72ce4k9py3cjeprkx98d8r83cu7z256a8swl37lxdw6qjfqhsmq2rw0'>nevent1q…2rw0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>And to put that into context, the population was only a bit over 100 souls, so everyone in the village was working in agriculture in some way or another. It&#39;s tragic really, smallholdings in England were systematically dismantled in the 1980s. I&#39;m not even very sure how it happened exactly, but in our village alone a dozen small farms used to adequately support twenty-odd households. Now it&#39;s only rich people in swanky barn conversions surrounded by industrial arable farming. 2026-04-29T19:24:12Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspxy72ce4k9py3cjeprkx98d8r83cu7z256a8swl37lxdw6qjfqhszyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34czmdlsv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrcwk9gwdhswcc3q80f3fue62p9qwzm3vp7t2tyk755pvyn53dhxsg52l0w'>nevent1q…2l0w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Where I grew up every farmhouse had one. But then every farmer could cut down a few trees a year to fuel it without really impacting the woodland on their land. Obviously that only works where population density is low and people know how to manage the land. It&#39;s all gone now, there were a dozen farming families in the village when I was small, now there are literally none. 😢 2026-04-29T19:13:32Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspmu2m2n3j4stjqc99twtg0pctxnz0fnh9nsp0lr8k5gsy8q2sg8czyr2mv8rg7cfg4wtn02lsmj8lg0aklzg6wtgap5npylvwhh3lyl34c5aq62x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrmq54nasgrkwjv2jvx60s324qj9cyyxjkr23kpxu5grvp0weywdq3jhkjh'>nevent1q…hkjh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is where the old AGAs were great.
