War again — and prices jumping with it. Madness that it's 2026 and the country is still beholden to fuel imports to keep the lights and heating on.
If you're able to get solar/batteries, seriously consider it. Some energy independence using homegrown sun is a great thing. ☀️

I Paid YouTube to Promote My Videos… Was It a Total Waste of Money?

We leased a Fiat 500e for a couple of years but decided it was better value to get a second hand stopgap until such time that we could get one that suited us better as a long term option. we prefer to buy rather than lease as we like to keep cars for a long time..
Currently a Renault Zoe that we got second hand as a stopgap. Looking to get a Cupra Raval this year hopefully.
It's getting better every year.
Yes, the UK does have a pretty good charging network now.
Reverse gears are for quitters!
Looking for a great value, good range, efficient, used EV? You can't go far wrong with a Niro. But do you get an old e-Niro or newer Niro EV?
My wife and I compare the two, assisted by her amazing measuring technique. No, it's not a Nazi salute. 😬

Yesterday I sold my petrol car of 10 years, so Kat and I are now down to just a single car for the first time in about 13 years. Only this time it's an EV, and we won't be going back!

This might be of interest to those of a certain data inclined persuasion.
Ha! Those were the days.
Amsterdam is packed with EVs — many we don’t even get in the UK. 🇳🇱⚡
I chat to EV expert @electricfelix.bsky.social about Chinese brands, charging, battery swapping, and what China is getting so right. We also swoon over EVs from NIO, Zeekr, and Firefly.
Will Europe catch up?

I was speaking to our PV installer the other day and he told me that about one in three people he does a design for already know about my channel. Mad.
"Many homeowners learned about A2A heat pumps through blogs, vlogs and social media – with influencers like Tim & Kat's Greenwalk and The EV Puzzle being commonly referenced sources."
Not sure I'll ever get used to being referred to as an "influencer".
John Ewbank, one of the researchers on this report, reached out to me for an interview as part of this research. We had a good long chat about our experiences with our A2A system. It's nice to see the YouTube channel get a mention on page 43. #GreenTech

My friend Gary did a very nice video on my web app that helps people with solar in the UK choose a good tariff. We also had a little chat at the end where he pretends he's never met me before:

My very clever brother has created a free online tool to help anyone in the UK who has solar to pick the best tarif. This video explains all!
Pond flooding, frozen batteries, solar performance in CONSTANT RAIN, Zappi issue, viewer questions, and discussing what we should replace our wretched electric radiators with?!
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin... 📕

To stick my oversized nose into the debate where Dale Vince appears to be chatting bollocks about heat pumps, here are some facts about my own perfectly working installation and the part it plays in the wider story of my home energy bills.
Can you have too many spreadsheets when it comes to keeping track of your energy use? I'm generally pro spreadsheet but even I have my limits, so I've started a new project.

We finally have the UK price and specs for the Mazda6e.
I moaned in my review last year about the odd two battery options so it's great to report that there's now just one:
🔋 78kWh LFP
🛣️ 348 miles WLTP
⚡️ 10-80% in 24 mins with 195kW peak
🏷️ Starting at £38,995
