Transport Evolved Take 2

As many regulars will know, we've been tweaking Nikki's F150 Lightning to include new features, but we've also heard from plenty of people who worry about tweaking their own EVs. So today, we're asking a simple question: have you modified your...

We've talked a lot lately about the fears that some people have about going electric - and how to overcome them. But as (certainly in the U.S.) automakers are blowing hot and cold on EVs, there's some fears rising among EV owners about what the fu...

The weather is warming up, there's more and more to do in the garden, and Nikki is feeling VERY MUCH behind... Stay safe, stay engaged. If you can, please take a few hours to watch our livestream from earlier this year. It shares some t...

It's pretty usual advice to expect older seeds to not all germinate, so when planting older seeds.. most people plant more than they will need. Yet pretty much every seed Nikki planted - many of them old - decided to germinate, meaning she's g...

As more people look toward EV ownership as a way to avoid the continued high oil prices, we're seeing more people who traditionally wouldn't buy an EV considering one - even if they don't own a home with off-street parking. Which leads us to t...

It's been quite a while since we gave you a channel update, and while we try really hard not to do them super-frequently, some massive changes at the channel in the last few weeks means that.. well, we're overdue giving you one. So today, on h...

As the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran continues, the price of oil and commodities around the world are increasingly unstable. And that's leading more people to consider an electric vehicle for the first time. So today, we're asking a very s...

The garden wake-up is now in full swing - and even the peas and beans did finally germinate! And because of all that nice sunshine, Nikki's lawn is in need of its first cut of the season. While not all the lawn got cut, she really did have to get ...

The war between the US, backed by Israel, and Iran has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz — through which a quarter of the world's seaborne oil passes — and fuel prices are climbing to levels that are genuinely painful for a lot of households...

While electric vehicles are now far more common than they were 20 years ago, we — and many EV owners we know — still regularly find ourselves having conversations with people who seem completely surprised to encounter an EV in the wild. So today's...

Another week of growing has taken place - and Nikki's Tomatillos have all germinated (as have all her tomatoes!) And while her peas and beans are still missing in action, the solitary bees are back just in time for the Cherry blossom! -- St...

The weather has been notably warmer this week at TE HQ, and Nikki's been putting some extra hours into the garden. This week, there's a lot to show - plus some much-welcome cherry blossom to share. -- Stay safe, stay engaged. If you can...

We might be living in strange times, where one country seems to be heading backwards in its scientific and environmental policies - even going as far as to create the perfect environment for once-easily-managed diseases to return -- but in other p...

Now it's clear the U.S. Iranian war is unlikely to end any time soon and the price of oil is continuing to rise, there's already a rise in interest in electric vehicles. So today, on our Sunday Musing, we have a very simple question: how long ...

Nikki's officially wrangled her seeds into order - and is now busy planting the first of the season. But to prevent some of her embarrassment last year with seed labeling, she's got a solution: 3D Printed Labels! Stay safe, stay engaged....

This week, as fuel costs for many people soar as a consequence of the illegal war in Iran, we're questioning if you track your vehicle fuel economy - be it gasoline or electric. And what's more, why do you do it? Stay safe, stay engaged. Pleas...

There's been torrential rain for the majority of this week - so Nikki's cheating today and sharing how some of her indoor plants are doing - plus showing and telling the awesome stash of new seeds she picked up at the local garden centre! ----...

Now we're well within the age of sub 10-minute fast charge times to 97%... we've been wondering what kind of bizarre excuses EV naysayers will come up with next for not going electric.. (you know, now that their old excuse will no-longer work). ...

The weather might not be 100% spring like yet, but with more and more bulbs coming out of ground, it's finally starting to feel like winter is past and spring is here. Stay safe, stay engaged. If you can, please take a few hours to wat...

We're seeing more and more automakers announce massive losses as they write down expenses on EV development while simultaneously canceling or pushing back EV production plans. All of them are blaming Evs for their poor finance - but are they r...

We're now into March - and Nikki is feeling very much behind and overwhelmed by the growing season ahead. It might be the early spring - or just the weight of living in 2026, but there's certainly a lot to do (and not a lot of spare time to do it ...
