Thanks so much! Yes, really so easy these days. It’s all a bit boring now! 😀

Yes, I did do that in good time. That reminds me: I need to change it back!

5 years ago today! My big Land's End to John O'Groats trip for charity in the Kia e-Niro with my sister-in-law, Ceci. We had massive support from the EV community and raised £3,300 for charity.

Back then a trip like that seemed quite a big deal. These days? So easy! ⚡️

I'm mainly on Instagram because it's good for sharing photos and tagging family. It also seems to be where the big brands contact me so as a business decision it makes sense to be on there as well.

But it's certainly not going to be my only social media hideout. I don't like it enough!

I'm not going anywhere!

Definitely, although there'd be a massive outcry if the government ploughed money into a pro-EV ad campaign.

Andrew Till • Mr EV @tillathenun.bsky.social · Sep 4

Fair enough. I avoid Facebook like the plague these days. I'm finding Instagram is where the big brands hang out though, so it's more of a business decision to be on there.

"You should use Instagram more", says my wife. "Tell everyone to follow you on there".

So here I am to say "follow me on Instagram". If you want. No pressure. Although you'll make my wife happy, which is surely a good thing.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this! I unleash my wife on the Skoda Elroq. Things get a bit sweary, sorry.

Stuck between Elroq and a hard place: my wife reviews the Škoda Elroq Edition 85.

If you’re transitioning away from Tesla, I would recommend you look at Renault as well. Google OS is the closest to Tesla from what I’ve seen.

That said, the Elroq is lovely I think you’d be very happy. I’ve heard from a couple of people that have moved to it from Tesla actually! No regrets!

Meet the Škoda Elroq – packed with clever touches, classy vibes, and real-world 360-mile range.

✅ Lovely to drive
✅ Cosy, tech-packed interior
✅ Actual tactile buttons
❌ Slightly painful nav system
🐜 Tiny cup holders!

So, this or the Kia EV3? 🤔

Sceptical wives?! I don’t know what you’re talking about! 😀

She prefers gas hobs? But induction is so much faster (and easier to clean!)

It all just feels like a bit of a no-brainer, doesn’t it? Every roof should have solar.

Solar and battery earnings in July from our @heatableuk.bsky.social install. Not bad! ☀️ Warning: Don’t watch the video if you have a chicken phobia. 🐔
