    Electric cars saw their market share plunge by a quarter in Britain last month, as cash-strapped consumers baulked at high prices and soaring insurance costs.

    The UK registered its one millionth electric car last month, despite a big drop in sales, new figures suggest.

    New EV registrations by private buyers fell by a quarter in January, threatening to undermine the UK's net zero promises.

    The only people buying EV's are those for whom their are massive tax advantages. Literally no one other than that with exception of the fanbois want EV's. Even with the favourable tax treatment and massive disadvantage that ICE has been put under BEV still cannot compete.

    Will be interesting to see what 2024 brings. EVs are reaching market saturation and will go into reverse as incentives disappear. No one I know with an EV would have one were it not for BIK being where it is and only becuse they are all high rate tax payers. A 42% discount on a brand new car is a no brainer.

    People are beginning to see that EV's are hopeless for anything but relatively short commuting when they can be charged cheaply at home for those with space to charge one.

    Sounds like the number of clowns are drying up. Good to read. 

  2. Just changed jobs to fully remote. Previous employer started demanding everyone come into the office two days a week from December 2023. I told them to do one and resigned. Already secured new role and surprised to see a lot of purely remote roles when I was searching.

    There was a Fork to PulseChain layer 1 earlier in the year.  You are looking at Hex on Eth , e-hex , Hex on Pulsechain (Hex , or p-hex) is twice the price,  As i was staked at the fork i own both, so i combine the price for a value and it's below my buy in price in 2021, but not disastrously so. Plus I sold a huge chunk of my e-Hex in 2021 too.  No regrets. 

    Price now is still 10000% above my 2019 Launch buy in too. 

    You did well out of it for sure. I don't know anyone else who has. How much did you bank in the end?
