Have you ever had to replace an electric car battery? Or do you personally know someone who has? Please let me know for a story I’m working on.

This is the reality of long distance EV travel (in a good, fast charging EV). Much of the time, the charge stops aren’t actually very long because filling the battery to 100% is pointless. You don’t stop to fill your battery. You stop to get what you need for your journey.

Lando on Sir Lewis Hamilton: “He's in a car which should win every race, basically. He has to beat one or two other drivers, that's it.”

"I will lend you a car for your TV show as long as its not being reviewed by Jeremy Clarkson or Rory Reid." Email response from a well known electric car maker. This was back in 2011. I was so misunderstood. Can you guess who it was?

At a restaurant, when you ask for the bill/check, especially in America, why do they bring the check…. And then wait 20 minutes before allowing you to pay? What do I have to say in order to avoid the wait?

Mate: Can you look after my tortoise? I’m going away for a bit. Me: Sure. Where are you going? Mate: To live in the Cayman Islands. Forever. Me: Oh. How long will it live? Mate: 150 years. Me: How old is it? Mate: 3. Me: I’m not looking after it. It’s looking after me.
