Revealed: The UK’s Best Motorway Service Station
If you’ve gone through the process of leasing a van for a longer journey you must make, you might feel the need to complete the whole journey in one go. But everyone needs a break from driving on longer trips and Rule 91 of the Highway Code indicates that a 15-minute break every two hours is recommended. However, research from the RAC found that 99% of drivers are prepared to go for longer than 2 hours without taking a rest.

Mercedes Benz EQS 580 launched at $54,950, gets 857 km range
Mercedes-Benz has rolled out the all-electric EQS 580 4MATIC in India for $68,400 (ex-showroom). The price sits around $66,100 below the recently launched AMG EQS 53S since the latter is a fully imported model brought to the country via the completely built-up unit (CBU) route. Interestingly, it is also cheaper than its ICE-powered cousin—S-Class—by Rs 5 lakh, thanks to a lower GST rate for fully-electric vehicles. The price gap increases further on the account of exemption of road tax for EVs in many states. EQS 580 is the third fully-electric model by the German marque in India after the EQC SUV and AMG EQS 53S. It is also the first battery-powered model from Mercedes to be locally assembled in India via completely knocked down (CKD) kits at the company’s Chakan-based facility near Pune, Maharashtra. In fact, India is the only country outside Germany where the EQS is assembled.

The hydrogen revolution in the skies
As the plane rose from the runway for what was to prove a smooth and uneventful flight, the team breathed a sigh of relief. The six-seater Piper M-Class had been fitted out at a research and development hub at Cranfield airport in the UK to run on hydrogen, and on this maiden flight in the late summer of 2020 everything worked perfectly. With that flight, ZeroAvia, the California-based start-up that had developed the aircraft with partners in Britain and elsewhere, was ready to move to the next stage in the journey towards zero carbon aviation.

The Modern Costs of Electric Car Rentals
With over 50 million registered DVLA driving licences in the UK, it might be surprising to some that Reuters reported that registrations for new cars fell by around 9% in July 2022. The lack of new cars on the roads has been attributed to supply shortages due to COVID-19 and global events.

How Do You Drive?
Let's be honest here. Have you driven around without a license? Yes, that includes a spin around the parking lot. Chances are, whoever took you for the first time grabbed the handle on the ceiling and several prayers were said to God about your safety during the first time you put your foot on the gas pedal. If you haven't driven before, don't be scared. It depends on your location and your preparedness before you sit behind the wheel.

Tesla: Why Buy One?
Tesla is the darling of Wall Street. It inevitably comes out in casual conversation at work and among friends. Many people love Tesla, to the point that it has become a religion. Many who have one brag about it. And don’t get me wrong, I love the car too. But after several conversations among my circle of friends, I learned two reasons that haven’t been talked about. I see these two reasons that will help make Tesla, the largest number of vehicles sold in the world.
