Question for guinea pig owners in Newcastle. Do you leave your gps outside in winter? What accomodations do you make for them? Mine are on grass in an Eglu with tarp cover over the cage to keep out rain, moved regularly, on fleece bedding and fleece hidies that of course they soil at the first opportunity. Feeling the guilts about the low temps but trying to avoid bringing them in as so much more cleaning...
Dear EV drivers,
To the new EV owners, welcome to the fold. To the not so new, you may know this already, but if not, please consider the below.
When charging at a fast charger, it is impolite to sit and charge to 100% when there is a line of cars waiting. Fast chargers slow RIGHT down once you're above anywhere from 80-90% charged. Thus the last 20% charge will take nearly as long as the first 80%... so unless you're driving to Qld, give it up!
Secondly there is an app called Plugshare. Been around for years - handy for finding chargers and rating them, and posting tips for other users. Also super handy for registering that you're waiting to charge, so everyone knows who is next and who was there first. Don't bloody well push in ya buggers and no need to argue. When everyone used Plugshare, it worked a treat. Last few years, lots of new EV owners, and people either don't know about it or use it inconsistently.
Lets keep the EV community safe and civil, and courteous. Until the govt catches up with charging infrastructure, we all need to share and be considerate of others.
End rant. :)
