However, you can take some additional steps to run your EV efficiently, maximise its range, and save money on your energy bills.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Plan Your Route</h3><br />Planning your route ahead of time can help you avoid traffic congestion, which can drain your battery quickly. You can use various route planning apps to help you find the shortest, most efficient route to your destination.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Drive Smoothly</h3><br />Smooth driving can help you use less energy and improve your EV's range. Try to avoid rapid acceleration, heavy braking, and sudden stops. Instead, accelerate and decelerate gradually and coast to a stop whenever possible.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Use Regenerative Braking</h3><br />Most EVs have regenerative braking, which converts some energy lost during braking into electricity and stores it in the battery. To maximize the benefits of regenerative braking, try to anticipate stops and slow down gradually by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal.<br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Use Eco-Mode</h3><br />Many EVs have

The process of scrapping a car is actually quite involved and can be broken down into several steps.<br /><br /><br />The first step in the scrapping process is identifying an authorised treatment facility (ATF) that can handle your vehicle. <br /><br /><br />The government licenses these facilities to take in and process scrap vehicles. Once you have found an ATF, you will need to provide them with your vehicle registration certificate (V5C), which will confirm that you are the vehicle's registered keeper.<br /><br /><br />The next step is to prepare your car for scrapping. <br /><br /><br />This involves removing all personal items from the vehicle and any valuables or hazardous materials that may be inside. Once your car has been stripped of these items, it will be transported to the ATF.<br /><br /><br />At the ATF, your car will be depolluted, meaning all hazardous materials will be removed from the vehicle. This includes fluids such as oil, brake fluid, coolant,

There’s no reason to speed up to a speed bump only to do an emergency stop before you go over it.<br /><br /><br />If you want to reduce fuel consumption, improve the longevity of your car and more, then be sure to change gears in plenty of time as you work your way up to speed. For example, some cars now come equipped with a signal when to change gears for economic purposes. Simply change gear when your car tells you to (usually when you’ve reached a certain speed or revs).<br /><br /><br />And

Even with the Government cutting the cost of fuel by 5p per litre.<br /><br /><br />The most obvious answer here is to consider switching to an electric car or at least a hybrid car where you make use of both petrol and electricity.<br /><br /><br />However, the cost of changing car (along with the rate of inflation and other

In those 13 years, more than 400 miles of road have been converted to the new active traffic management system (ATM), but many motorists are yet to fully understand how they work, and what implications could occur if they aren’t used properly. <br /> <br /> So, with that being said – what are smart motorways and how do they work? <br /> <br /> <h3> Smart Motorways – How Do They Work? </h3> <br /> Currently, there are three different types of smart motorways in the UK.

Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous cars can drive without any input from a driver, with the car completely controlling itself. If these new technologies continue to develop and take off, this could radically change our current transport system.</div> <br /> These autonomous cars work by internally mapping their surroundings, using a range of intelligent sensors monitoring different things. These sensors differ from prototype to prototype but have used; radar, lasers, high powered cameras or sonar. Computers within the car then process all of the information from these sensors to intuitively map their location and know what is surrounding the car, and what hazards there might be.<br /> <br /> Once the car is aware of its surroundings It can steer, accelerate and break accordingly. The car is programmed to follow rules of the road such as speed limits and stop lights, but is also instilled with responsive rules such as object avoidance and

Discarded mattresses, electrical good and even bin bags full of unwanted items and rubbish are some of the common sights when it comes to fly-tipping. However, Ashfield District Council have been working hard to not only clean up the unwanted mess but also working towards clamping down on this unpleasant and illegal act.<div> <br /></div> <h3> What exactly is Fly-tipping?</h3> Fly-tipping is officially recognised as an illegal deposit of any waste onto land that does not have a licence to accept it. Not only is fly-tipping an unwanted sight to our local community, but it can also be extremely hazardous to members of the public. Some waste may contain toxic materials or asbestos, which in turn could directly damage water sources and even the quality of the soil. <br /><br /><h3> Ashfield District Council Intervention</h3> Fly-tipping is considered as a serious criminal offence and up until recently offenders could be served with a fine up to £50,000. However, Ashfield District Council has now gained the authority to crush any vehicles found fly-tipping. <br /><br
