What a pointless video

This is not relevant at all. Did you not read anything I said? You spend 10 minutes filling your car once a week. You spend 0 times charging your car every night. You only need to charge it externally if you're doing a long journey where they have ultra fast chargers on your route and where you would like to stop for 30 minutes anyway. There is literally no barrier anymore.

Scout - Just FYI I have never been on the BMN forum in my life!

And I forgot to add, if I'm doing a very long journey and plan to charge up at a superhub (one of the 20 I suggested) then of course I'm more than happy to wait for 30 minutes. By the time I'm in and out it's probably 30 minutes anyway. Given I will rarely ever do that journey think of all the time I will have net saved by charging at home every night which takes 2 seconds to plug in/out. It's not about charge times, it's about time spent actively charging/refuelling your vehicle - With an EV it's virtually nothing, with an internal combustion engine you supervise the whole thing and waste time.

Jodrell. Your comments are beyond uninformed.
A 100kW EV will charge in 1 hour (from empty) using a 100kW charger. Given we have 350kW charge points you could charge those vehicles (from empty) in less than 20 minutes.
The above is irrelevant of course because guess what - rapid charging isn't really needed beyond a limited number of charging hubs on strategic routes throughout the country where people are likely to be passing through only if they are doing a long journey. You genuinely only need about 20 'superhubs' with ultra fast charging.
In every other instance (which is almost all instances) people can or will very soon be able to charge in the street/drive way at home overnight. Aside from this being cheaper, more convenient and taking less time, it means that generally people will almost always have way more than half a battery full of power anyway as journeys just aren't that long.
Virtually every concern someone who is anti EV can voice is completely answerable by the facts. There is virtually no real barrier anymore to owning an EV. This is why all the main manufacturers are investing so heavily in this space and basically moving towards EV-only production.

None of this has anything to do with the battery infrastructure you use to charge the vehicle so I don't know why you even brought up EV's in the first place. An EV doesn't care where the power comes from.

Almost all batteries can do most of the stuff you have listed here

One cannot explain to an idiot that it is one

No one seems to have mentioned the obvious rise due to recent favourable announcements for the capacity market and batteries...

*sight!

Anyone know if these are good or bad? I know they somehow relate to Phronimos' letter. Was this change in voting power that Tang was trying to get through and Phronimos was trying to stop?
I do find it remarkable that Tang can be working on these things in open site but just won't address anything that Phronimos has raised. Just seems so underhand.

Can someone tell me why people would subscribe at 1.6p/share when it's only 1.2 now?

It totally depends on how the business place infrastructure operates during those two weeks. If they remain operating as per usual then of course there will be strains on the grid during peak periods (4.30-7pm on a weekday). If they turn off, however, then I don't envisage there being a strain on the grid. Grid constraint issues are about peaky loads and mismatching demand and supply, they are not about overall demand being high, unless there's a massive shutdown of a major power plant or an interconnector. Because everyone will be at home there are unlikely to be peaky demands (as far as I'm aware) because the mass of people sitting indoors all day will be quite steady and the grid can predict and accommodate this. I've said all this without looking at any evidence so I may stand corrected! And may regret the above within minutes of my research following this post! Just think it's naive to take that attitude SBuild, when the answer isn't actually obvious.

I am surprised that no one has made the link yet between a rural broadband provider and coronavirus. Everyone will be working from home soon enough and isolated. This will surely increase the speed of uptake for decent broadband. People who aren't working will be bored out of their minds and pay whatever they can to increase their connection speeds. Working from home will also now be far more accepted in the future. This is surely all great news for BBB, once the markets recover that is

Nothing is fantastic for Polo if it never liquidates any of its holdings and if Tang continues to extract all value for his own pocket. It doesn't matter how well the underlying holdings do because the market will never match Polo pricing to the NAV pricing whilst Tang remains anywhere near this

Those big trades today - buys or sells? Hard to tell...

Clearly a reason for this? Is it election related? People just wanting to hold cash just to make sure?

I haven't actually seen the figures myself, although I will get quotes in the coming weeks/month. I have been told by various technical advisors and other people within the renewables sector. Hopefully they're wrong!

Unfortunately at a somewhat uninvestible price

Much higher opex with flow and much higher risk of parts failure. Ask someone at Red how their plants have been operating and the answer isn't what you want it to be. Still, I'm sure that will improve.
My point is that you can now get long duration lithium ion at cheaper than flow...so what's the point

Very consistent 100,000 buys suggesting it's one buyer. Does someone know something we don't...
