A study has found Hybrid, ICE cars are far more likely to catch fire than EVs.

The data says hybrids are the most prone to catching fire, while EVs are the least prone, although when they do catch fire, they are harder to put out.

Did you know you’re banned from washing your car at home in Germany?

Washing your car at home is not explicitly banned in Germany, but it is discouraged and subject to regulations in many areas. The reason for this is primarily related to environmental concerns. When you wash your car at home, the soapy water, dirt, and contaminants from your car can flow into storm drains and eventually into rivers and streams, leading to water pollution. In Germany, as in many other European countries, there are strict regulations regarding the use of detergents and the disposal of wastewater, and washing a car at home can often lead to violations of these regulations.

To address these environmental concerns, it is encouraged to use professional car wash facilities in Germany. These facilities are equipped to treat and recycle wastewater, ensuring that pollutants are removed or properly managed. Additionally, they often use environmentally friendly cleaning products. While it's not a complete ban, the preference for using car wash facilities is driven by a desire to protect the environment and water quality.

I really hate seeing this kind of thing. Now I don’t know the context of it but the fact that it’s in a place where there are pigeons and gulls is only going to aggravate the problem.

Today we visited the Porsche Museum and did the Taycan factory tour. Apart from the factory tour, we were surprised to learn about Ferdinand Porsche’s early career and the work he was while working at Lohner. Between 1900 and 1905, Porsche had a hand in the Egger-Lohner c2 phaeton an electric carriage that was powered by an “octagon” electric motor, which took its name from the eight-sided design of the motor housing. The electric motor can produce an output of 3 hp (2.2 kW) at 350 rpm and for short periods of time, up to 5 hp (3.7 kW) with a top speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) by overcharging it. And also while working for Lohner he created the Lohner-Porsche, a hybrid electric car that had electric hub motors powered by a petrol powered generator, much like that of a diesel-electric train.
