Saw the item on the show, Most impressed. If only we had mountains and lakes in Hampshire. I have to make do with Solar PV , which does run my LEAF.
Must have a go in the Twizzy, they look like fun for a summers day. If the Electric Highway improves I may even manage one of yours.
Good to see that sensible use is being made of the waste water from the lake, and that a community benefits rather than some faceless Hedge Fund.
