I hadn't been to any of the shows before but I went to this one on the Friday and I was really pleased with what I found. Not only did I enjoy the day but it was a bonus that my wife enjoyed it as well, happy wife happy life! It probably helps that she, like me, drives an EV so has a certain amount of interest. I spent quite a bit of time chatting to various companies about heat pumps and got lots of useful info about them. I saw you wandering about but didn't know who you were, found this channel later. I will definitely go to another Everything Electric show in the future.
Bought ticket for two days Saturday and Sunday, only went for one very quiet and far less vendors. I hope Fully Charge / Everything Electric can cover the decline in turn out.
Yeah I had hoped they’d have a destination charger but never mind. To be fair that car park was full by the night and I had parked between a Polestar and a Model 3, so I’d have struggled to get one even if they existed!
@@SpeakToTheGeekTech really needs to be a step up with destination chargers, the push for rapid chargers is so unbalanced. We have housing schemes round here with say 25 flats and they put in 2 50kW chargers. First two people to come home plug in and block it all night. Same cost they could put in 20 7kW chargers and everyone could charge.
Yes, PodPoint ones there but they’re not part of the Octopus Electroverse so I avoided them. Could have used them contactless if I’d needed to but I couldn’t have left the car there for more than a couple of hours. The combined charge/toilet break approach worked well though and at no point did I feel like charging was slowing my journey down.
Not all Premier Inns have a car park or run the one they do have. The two I've stayed at so far with on-site chargers had machines belonging to different operators and which only worked with those operators' apps. It would be nice too if a standard payment method were available.
So here's the question... if you didn't have a press pass, would it have been worth your while? Seems to me it was just a rerun of last year, nothing particularly innovative. Great for people starting their eco journey, but not maybe as interesting for those of us a way down it...?
I think you’re partially right, if you went last year then there’s a lot the same but the mix of tech and its focus was different. Tickets were only a tenner anyway and I enjoyed myself at least a tenner’s worth so I would have been more than happy paying that. I think for newbies to the event then there was a lot for them, but for me to want to visit again next year I’d expect there to be something big and new for me to see.
Well... I'd possibly suggest it's the other way around. It's all machine learning, but is it actually artificial intelligence? It's a debate that shall rumble on forever until they harvest us like in The Matrix...

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
More car karaoke please! 😂
Ha! Maybe that can be a members only special :)

I hope so too. The Friday was very busy from what I witnessed.
I think you've got the same dog protection in the back of your MG4 that we do!
Possibly, the cheapest one on Amazon!
Mad that premier inn dont offer EV chargers as stabdard. Especially when they have a decent solar array on the roof as well.

@@SpeakToTheGeekTech it is behind a Tesco - were there chargers there?

Technically, Machine Learning is a subfield of Artificial Intelligence. 🤓
