A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

In France on the highways every twoish hours of driving we have a full service stations with gas, small restaurants/coffee shops, kids playgrounds etc.

I'm not sure but I believe it's a legal requirement.

The one we stopped at for my last trip even had a small gym.
