The news that Nissan now has 1,000 fast charging stations (CHAdeMO) installed around Europe (#1000 is somewhere in Surray, Englang), is great for electric mobility. To me even greater news would be to have even one of the next 1,000 stations installed in Bulgaria...
Skinnies fit Renault Twizy, though it looks cooler in ELIA mods. You know Germans, they not only put wider tires, but also wider custom fenders. Some other Germans did the opposite, however, despite they are far from popular in doing this – BMW i3's tires are super skinny for its width.

Just bought my next portion of LED bulbs in my "campaign" to replace the "hot" ones at home. Surprisingly, the light is as warm as from the incandescent buls (@2700K). But LEDs need much less power. For instance, 3.5W LED bulb does the job a of GU10 25W halogen spot bulb. Or 6.3W LED (E27 400 lumens) matches 40W "wired". Nice, I'm now saving electrons for my EV :)...
