Ever since the government announced plans to ban the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, people have been rushing to buy electric vehicles (EVs).With rechargeable batteries and smart driving technology, EVs can be a great solution to skyrocketing petrol prices as well as climate emissions.However, this new technology is still in its early stages, as the experience of one electric car owner shows.A driver who spent around £62,000 on an electric car is moaning that the battery only lasts a few hours and is unable to make long drives on the motorway without recharging.After trading in his BMW Diesel for the flash new car, he complained to the Telegraph that his car's battery, which is supposed to have a range of 285 miles, often only has a maximum range of 145 miles.The disgruntled driver claimed that his drive up north to see family at Christmas took "nine hours each way", and that it was a "nightmare".He then claims that, when he turned to help from BMW seven days after purchase, they blamed the car's performance on use of the aircon and heated seats.The driver, from Essex, said: "I want to get rid of it, but the dealership is only offering me £50,000.""The latest thing I've been asked to do is jot down the details of every journey I make in a notebook, which is taking up all my time.

Summing up has begun in the big old ‘Shape Of You’ song-theft case, with Ed Sheeran’s lawyer declaring that the legal dispute has been “deeply traumatising” for his client, and should never have got as far as the High Court.Sami Chokri reckons that Sheeran got a copy of his 2015 track ‘Oh Why’ through mutual friends or industry connections and then, when the star and his songwriting pals got together in late 2016 to write ‘Shape Of You’, he either consciously or subconsciously utilised a key element of the earlier song within his hit.But Sheeran and his collaborators deny having ever heard ‘Oh Why’ before writing ‘Shape Of You’.

Megan Thee Stallion’s label 1501 Certified Entertainment has formally responded to the rapper’s most recent lawsuit over whether or not her album ‘Something For Thee Hotties’ was in fact an album. It was not, 1501 argues in its new legal filing, while also taking issue with how an earlier legal battle was concluded.The rapper, real name Megan Pete, has spent quite a lot of the last two years griping over the 2018 contract she signed with 1501 – an independent label owned by former baseball player Carl Crawford – which gave the company an interest in her recordings, publishing, merchandise and live activity.An earlier legal battle centred on various issues Pete raised about that 2018 contract, which she and her lawyers argued was entirely “one sided” in the label’s favour and didn’t follow “industry standards”.
