Sometimes even, the standard is split into different norms. For example, the EV charging cable is defined in EC 62196-{1..6}. Which in turn address other standards. So you finally need to by at least 10 PDFs to understand the darn thing..

I have a Renault Twizy. It's a tiny 2-seater car (one behind the other). It's so tiny that the battery is only 6kWh and thus you can only go for about 80km before needing a charge (which lasts 2h30). But I love it in fact. In my e

France's Linky has a built-in relay that the TSO can use to shed some power in the event of an emergency. I suppose that it could be used by a novel energy supplier to pay less in power reserve and they could shut off willing consumers

In the UK, you can renew your passport online too. I don't really see the risks: they check that your picture matches the old one and you still have to send your old passport for them to issue you the new one..

My two and only mechanical watches are Seiko ones, worth 50$ on amazon. They're so cheap yet so good compared to a digital one. And indeed, you can easily fall into this trap of buying a never-good-enough better one.

I've had really good results with SMA Sunny Island. It acts as "the grid". It's connected to batteries, and gives you a 230/120V network. Then, you had a normal solar inverter. It'll recharge the batteries when

These are called ancillary services. There are 3 levels: frequency control (for example dams), primary reverse (fast acting power, in less than 10s), and secondary reserve (slow acting: < 15min). Participants can either be positive (they

That's not true. Even with coal, the end-to-end emissions are better with electric cars. Proof: Poland is 800gCO₂/kWh [1]. With an average electric car (i.e. my hyundai ioniq), you average 11kWh/100km, or .11kWh/km. Taki

Spain's minimum wage is 1000 EUR/month. 100k$ (82k€) will give you 6 years of living if you don't spend it all on useless things. Portugal is even "better" with a minimum wage of 750€/month

Many people do small fires and try to let the fire alive as long as possible. The consequences are that the stove is not hot enough to ignite the fumes. This yields to a poor fire: low efficiency, high particle emissions, and poor heat. The
