I tend to find hypo needs rinsing before it dries. It’ll leave really stubborn salts on the glass if you don’t.

The latest problem is how much copper is in the charging leads. They are going round early morning and pinching them and selling them or getting £60 of copper out of them.  They even chop them like what happened at Porsche & Merc garages and caused £80k worth of damage. Guy in USA woke up and had to buy a new one because it took the young guy 13 seconds to steal it. $2700 it cost him for a new one. I think hybrid is the real winner out of the RV revolution.

Scrap copper is about £5 a kilo. Did his charging cables really weigh 12kg?

Doesn't sound likely to me.

Every joule of energy a hybrid uses comes from burning hydrocarbons (plug-in hybrids less so). It cannot possibly be the solution to the problem of using clean, non CO2 producing, energy to power vehicles.

Anyway, the thread was about EVs. Hybrids aren't EVs.

For those GFS cleaning on properties where an over head power cable goes into a house via hole in fascia and into loft, this could be potential danger too where brush and carbon pole touches fascia close to power cable. Same applies with Carbon or Ali gutter poles

Exactly. And don't spray water anywhere near those connectors or cables.

$2700 for a charging lead?

That's what he said on Utube. If he had waited a week he could have bought his own back on Ebay for $1k. Maybe that's the reason some EVs don't come with a charging cable. Once your cable disappears you can let us know what was the cost to replace it.

I bought a spare.

£119

11kw 4m long, same as the one supplied with the van.

Buying a scaffold tower could save you money since you're doing a lot of roof cleaning, especially on bungalows in Norfolk. Consider looking for used ones on eBay to keep costs low.

I bought all mine from Ebay and then sold them all for the same price later on. Just before covid I could afford a brand new one and have continually added to it. It has paid for itself after a few years because I rent it out to a plumber I know.

I'm looking at £4k for everything, and happy to spend less.

Pressure washer machine, fsc, buffer, hoses, attachments, chemicals, x jet or some equivalent, brushes, buckets, it all adds up
