UK OFF-PEAK EV CHARGING COSTS 2.3P PER MILE IN NEW ANALYSISCarbon Brief estimates UK EVs charged overnight at home cost about 2.3p per mile, versus 20.1p for petrol and 21p for diesel, while charging at the domestic price cap costs around 7p per mile. The advantage depends heavily on access to home charging and off-peak tariffs, and although electricity prices and a planned 3p-per-mile EV tax from April 2028 will narrow the gap, EVs are still expected to retain a substantial energy-cost advantage.VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS $12,500 TO CLEAR REMAINING US ID.4 STOCKVolkswagen is offering US buyers and lessees $12,500 on remaining 2025 ID.4s until 2 November, after first-half 2026 sales fell 77.2% to 2,205 and production at its Chattanooga factory ended in April. The large incentive is intended to clear very limited stock while Volkswagen prepares a future North American replacement, expected to adopt the ID. Tiguan name but with no announced launch timetable.VOLVO ELECTRIC TRUCK RANGE WINS INTERNATIONAL TRUCK OF THE YEAR 2027Volvo's FH Electric, FM Electric, FMX Electric and FH Aero Electric have won International Truck of the Year 2027, with judges highlighting improvements in range, efficiency, payload and suitability for different heavy-transport roles. Production of the next generation began in Gothenburg on 14 September, with the FH, FM and FMX Electric offering up to 470 kilometres of range and further production planned in Belgium.MERCEDES-AMG NEEDS REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO START CHARGING AT TEST EVENTA Mercedes-AMG needed several attempts to establish communication with a charger during CharIN Testival 2026, illustrating the interoperability challenges created by technologies including Plug & Charge, bidirectional charging and megawatt charging. The controlled test does not show how common such failures are for consumers, but CharIN says compatibility, connector locking and vehicle-to-grid implementation still need improvement even as ISO 15118-20 standards mature.EXPLOREN PLANS MORE THAN 600 FAST CHARGERS ACROSS AUSTRALIAExploren will invest A$30 million over two years to install more than 600 DC fast chargers across Australia, with many offering 200 kW or more alongside contactless payment and upgrades to existing sites. The expansion builds on the company's acquisition of Engie's Australian and New Zealand charging network in 2025, adding new hardware while also improving maintenance and ease of use across its existing network.NEW ZEALAND REPORT FINDS CCS2 VEHICLE-TO-GRID SUPPORT LIMITED TO TRIALSA New Zealand government-backed readiness report finds that CCS2 vehicle-to-grid support remains largely restricted to approved trials, with BYD and NordEast requiring individual vehicle approval and only StarCharge Halo and SigenStor EV DC chargers meeting the report's stated requirements. Wider adoption could begin from mid-2027 if BYD introduces standard-warranty V2G support as planned, while current trials are already testing enhanced export payments of up to NZ$0.70 per kWh in grid-constrained areas.

Dave Mabe, systematic trading coach and former CTO of Trade Ideas, shares how he transitioned from discretionary trading to running 25 automated strategies, and the single biggest backtesting mistake most traders make. Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/dave-mabe/ Key moments - [05:44] Having a full-time job and trading on the side forces you to focus on a small window, preventing you from strategy-hopping. - [11:53] Discretionary traders can look at situations and figure out when to 'swing the bat hard,' but it is a very difficult skill to master. - [14:30] My very first backtest of my discretionary strategy actually performed better than my manual execution. - [18:12] The only thing harder than coming up with your first profitable trading strategy is coming up with your second. - [19:08] The biggest mistake in backtesting is trying to shoot for the final version of a strategy on your very first run. - [20:01] Your first backtest should have no filtering; instead, add custom columns for every indicator and optimize using that dataset. - [27:44] Scale wide by adding more automated trades across smaller timeframes, rather than just increasing your position size. - [30:54] A good backtesting software must be able to scan the entire US equities market and allow custom columns. - [39:42] When using Claude to write backtest code, give it a specific chart setup where a trade should occur to let it self-verify.

Cliff is a registered clinical nutritionist, qualified naturopath and strength and nutrition coach who has been in clinical practice since the late 1990s, and he founded the Holistic Performance Institute. He and Mikki open with wearables — Cliff has swapped an ageing Oura ring for an under-mattress Withings sleep analyser — before getting into whether an already-active person really needs dedicated cardio, and why Mikki has deliberately upped her carbohydrate intake for running after years of being firmly in the low-carb camp.The second half is a careful working-through of the alcohol evidence. Cliff's central point is a distinction that often gets lost: the research supports the claim that there is no healthy dose of alcohol, but that is not the same as showing there is no safe dose. He walks through why all-cause mortality is the endpoint to start from, where the cancer data genuinely does look different, and why effect sizes at low intakes are small enough to be hard to interpret. Both are clear that alcohol is a toxin and neither is advocating that anyone start drinking. What they are arguing is that absolutist public health messaging that outruns the data erodes trust, and that time spent getting people active would do more good than telling them to drink nothing at all.Key TopicsCliff's move from an ageing Oura ring to a Withings under-mattress sleep analyser, what resting heart rate and HRV are and aren't useful for, and Mikki's 59-day Garmin step streak and how it endedThe one thing they openly disagree on: Cliff argues accumulated movement at varying intensities can make structured zone two largely redundant for an already-active person, while Mikki champions aerobic work in its own right and pushes back on messaging that walking plus lifting is all anyone needsWhy Mikki has substantially increased her carbohydrate intake around running after years of being low carb, and the difference she reports in running, recovery and appetiteCliff on the research he co-authored — habitually low-carb athletes benefit from carbohydrate during exercise to essentially the same extent as high-carb athletes — and early-2000s field research at a 24-hour mountain bike event where athletes needed far more per hour than the then-accepted 60 g glucose and 90 g glucose-fructose ceilingsThe distinction the episode turns on: no healthy dose of alcohol is not the same claim as no safe dose, and why the Zhao 2023 meta-analysis is often read as saying the secondWhere the cancer data does look different, how relative risk and absolute risk come apart, and why a 5% relative increase can mean very little in absolute termsConfounding, residual confounding and abstainer bias — why abstainers can look worse in the data until you account for who stops drinking and whyGuardrails rather than prohibition: Cliff's dozen beers a month, what he used to tell clients, and why zero-tolerance messaging that diverges from the data erodes trust and tends to fail in clinical practiceCongeners, drink type and individual response, including why some people react differently to whiskey than to vodka — and why no spirit gets you out of a hangover at doseLinchpin behaviours: why both land on physical activity as the thing most worth people's limited attention, and Cliff's case for mindfulness as an effective non-diet interventionChapters00:00 Introduction03:07 Wearables, sleep tracking and step streaks10:38 Does everyone need dedicated cardio15:40 Running, mobility and upping carbohydrate18:31 Carbohydrate during exercise and low-carb dogma28:45 Alcohol guardrails and personal limits33:10 Mortality versus single disease endpoints38:51 Cancer risk, relative and absolute47:29 Confounding, abstainer bias and patterns58:46 Drinking culture and absolutist advice1:07:43 Drink type, congeners and sleep1:13:35 Linchpin behaviours and what matters most1:18:19 Take-homes, recommendations and outroGuest / ResourcesCliff Harvey PhDWebsite: cliffharvey.comHolistic Performance Institute: holisticperformance.instituteInstagram: @cliffdoggydogCliff is a registered clinical nutritionist, a qualified naturopath, and holds a diploma in fitness training and health coaching in patient care. He has over 20 years' experience as a strength and nutrition coach and has been in clinical practice since the late 1990s. His PhD research was in ketosis and ketogenesis, and Mikki helped supervise part of that pathway. In the episode he mentions that a full review on alcohol and mortality was due to go up in the Holistic Performance Institute's database of living review articles.Studies and research discussedZhao et al. (2023), Association Between Daily Alcohol Intake and Risk of All-Cause Mortality: A Systematic Review and Meta-analyses, JAMA Network Open. The meta-analysis at the centre of the conversation, drawing on 107 studies. Cliff's reading is that it shows no healthy dose, but does not establish that there is no safe dose.Health effects associated with alcohol consumption: a Burden of Proof study, Nature Health (2026). Referenced as looking at disease risk rather than mortality.Sarich et al. (2026), Alcohol-attributable cancer risk and burden estimates for Australia's updated alcohol consumption guidelines, British Journal of Cancer. This is the paper Mikki reads figures from during the episode. It reports that for every additional ten drinks per week, the risk of all cancers combined increased by 5%.The 45 and Up Study — the large Australian cohort (over 225,000 participants) that the above cancer analysis draws on, and the source of the absolute risk figures Mikki looks up live.Mendelian randomisation research on alcohol and risk, referred to in general terms rather than as a specific named study.Research on abstainer bias, which Cliff attributes to earlier work by Zhao and colleagues preceding their 2023 meta-analysis.Zinn, Harvey et al. (2023), Exercise and sports performance, a chapter in Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health (Elsevier). The chapter Cliff co-wrote with Caryn Zinn, and the source of his point about low-carb athletes benefiting from carbohydrate during exercise.Cliff also refers to research on Mediterranean diet and drinking patterns, on physical activity as protective against alcohol-related mortality risk, and on mindfulness as a non-diet intervention. These were discussed in general terms and no specific papers were named.People mentionedDr Eric Helms — teaches on the Holistic Performance Institute ...

Cam and JJ break down the 'mindset trap' in trading, explaining why psychological training won't save you from a cluttered chart, vague rules, or a broken operational process. Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/dtc-33/ Key moments - Mindset is a support skill; it cannot locate your setup, verify your edge, or replace a defined rule book [02:33]. - Genuine trading confidence is a byproduct of empirical evidence and repetition, not motivational videos or mindset books [05:35]. - If a rule is subjective or your screen is cluttered with indicators, execution errors are structural, not psychological [12:12]. - Mindset must act as a stabilizer to execute effectively despite normal human emotions, not a magic cure-all [15:56]. - To overcome entry hesitation, stop reading theory and run a strict audit on the exact operational moment you freeze [18:32]. - An over-analyzed, indicator-heavy chart creates the very anxieties that force premature exits [21:16].

Lodestone Energy is raising between $75 and $100 million through an IPO. In this conversation, Managing Director Gary Holden explains Lodestone’s business, their ambitions, and their reasons for listing to GM of Sharesies Business, Susannah Batley. Lodestone builds and operates solar farms of 25 to 35 megawatts and sells the electricity directly to customers, placing it alongside New Zealand's four established gentailers. Holden describes the company’s standard site specifications and why they chose that scale.

With markets expecting the RBA to lift Australia’s cash rate, Victoria Devine breaks down what another rise could mean for households, savers and investors. Victoria joins Sharesies co-founder Brooke Roberts to explain the potential impact on mortgage repayments, including what a 0.25 percentage point rise could mean for someone with a $600,000 mortgage. Plus, why she says mortgage holders shouldn’t treat their home loan as “set and forget”, particularly when household budgets are already under pressure.

Gilbert Enoka is back with the All Blacks. After 23 years and 304 tests as their mental skills coach - two World Cup wins along the way - he stepped away in 2023, worked with Chelsea and England cricket, and has now returned to the team as leadership and mental performance coach ahead of the 2027 World Cup.This is a big one, recorded during his time away. The first half is the man: a childhood in an orphanage from 18 months to 12, learning to work and fight, and how being "emotionally malnourished" turned into the skill that made him indispensable - reading a room before anyone said a word.The second half is the craft: the no-dickheads policy, standards over values, the "human library" of legends built for 2023, how close the All Blacks came to walking away from the haka, and the Gilbertisms - winge up not down, don't take the sausage, wishbone-backbone-funny-bone - he's spent a career distilling.His book Become Unstoppable is out now.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

Marama Davidson on Greens' super-rich tax, KiwiMart, and working with National After scandal and tragedy saw five Green MPs leave parliament before the end of the term, the Green Party 'reset' in late 2025. Now, the Greens are polling higher than their 2023 general election result and are campaigning to keep their historic three electorate seats. Their KiwiMart policy - a government owned supermarket chain introduced to break up the Foodstuffs and Woolworths duopoly - promises lower grocery prices, but they won't be drawn on a dollar figure saving. And while a wealth tax has been rubbished by both National and Labour, making it unlikely to become government policy, an Ipsos survey found two thirds of New Zealanders support it.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comEpisode SummaryIn the latest episode of our collaboration with the Chasing Clarity Health and Fitness Podcast, Mikki is joined again by online nutrition and physique coach Brandon DaCruz to talk refeeds and diet breaks. These tools have been used in bodybuilding and physique coaching for decades, with plenty of claims attached: that they boost leptin, prevent metabolic adaptation or speed up fat loss. Mikki and Brandon start with definitions. A refeed is a structured, tracked one to three days at around maintenance, with the extra calories coming mostly from carbohydrate. A diet break is one to two weeks at maintenance. Neither is a cheat meal. They then look at why a long deficit gets harder over time, through rising hunger, falling NEAT, poorer training and accumulated diet fatigue.Brandon works through the research by outcome. When the overall deficit is matched, the trials and a recent meta-analysis show similar fat loss with intermittent and continuous dieting, and any hormonal lift from a short refeed is likely to be temporary. There may be a small benefit for resting metabolic rate and lean mass, with caveats, and the most consistent benefit is for hunger, dietary satisfaction and adherence. Mikki explains how she schedules refeeds in Mondays Matter as practice at eating at maintenance, and how she plans diet breaks around holidays and busy periods. Brandon walks through how he titrates refeeds with lifestyle and physique clients, and why the extra calories come from familiar carbohydrate foods rather than hyperpalatable ones. Both are clear that these strategies can backfire for some people, and that someone who is progressing well doesn't need another intervention.Key TopicsRefeeds, diet breaks and cheat meals are not the same thing. Refeeds and diet breaks are planned and tracked; a cheat meal removes the structure, and both hosts would happily retire the word "cheat" (06:53).Why a prolonged deficit gets harder. Hunger and appetite rise, NEAT drops without people noticing, lower carbohydrate availability affects training, and diet fatigue builds. Brandon likens a refeed or diet break to a training deload (12:46).Refeeds as a skill, not just a physiological tool. Mikki builds three-day refeeds into Mondays Matter every two weeks so people can practise eating more without fear, and both hosts plan diet breaks around holidays and work travel (20:21).Fat loss research. With deficits equated, intermittent and continuous dieting produce similar fat loss. Brandon explains the "whoosh" effect he has seen in practice and why a short-term hormonal boost is unlikely to drive fat loss on its own (28:38).Lean mass, metabolic rate and adherence. There is some signal for better lean mass retention and a slightly smaller drop in resting metabolic rate, with caveats. The clearest benefits are less hunger, more satisfaction and less disinhibition (36:12).Personality matters. Some people will adhere regardless, and for some "abstainers" a single refeed day can turn into an overfeeding week (39:41).Training performance. A carbohydrate-based diet break improved lower-body muscular endurance in one secondary analysis, and Brandon times refeeds around priority sessions for his physique athletes (44:23).How they each structure refeeds. Mikki first rules out non-deficit causes of poor sleep, cravings or low energy. Brandon starts with one day, keeps the usual foods, increases carbohydrate, holds fat and adjusts based on biofeedback (47:46, 50:44).Why carbs go up, not fat. Fat is usually already low deep into a diet, protein often has a buffer, and food volume matters: energy-dense "refeeds" can leave people eating less food and feeling hungrier (59:58).Who benefits most. Long-term dieters who are getting leaner than ever, training hard and struggling with hunger or fatigue. For someone losing at a good rate and adhering well, adding one can simply break momentum (1:13:17).Chapters00:00 Introduction and the collaboration series06:53 Refeeds, diet breaks and cheat meals defined12:46 The costs of a prolonged deficit20:21 How Mikki uses refeeds with groups and travel28:38 Do refeeds improve fat loss?36:12 Lean mass, adherence and personality types44:23 Refeeds and training performance47:46 Mikki's one-on-one approach50:44 How Brandon structures refeeds and diet breaks59:58 Why carbs go up, not fat, on refeed days1:07:28 Benefits seen in practice1:13:17 Who benefits most, and wrap-upGuest / ResourcesBrandon DaCruz, online nutrition and physique coach, accredited nutritionist and host of the Chasing Clarity Health and Fitness Podcast.

SHARESIES · MARKET UPDATE · Week of 21 September 2026Jacki Neumann, Head of Capital Markets ↑ WHAT'S UP — New Zealand was the standout, with the NZX 50 up 1.2% after Q2 GDP beat expectations at 0.2% for the quarter, lifting annual growth to a two-year high of 2.6%. The Nasdaq also edged up 0.7%, even as the broader US market drifted. ↓ WHAT'S DOWN — The S&P 500 slipped 0.1% and the ASX 200 dipped 0.1%, with hawkish central banks and elevated oil keeping a lid on equities. Tech sentiment took a knock from an AI safety essay by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, which called for a slowdown in model scaling. ! BIGGEST SURPRISES — The Fed's 25 basis point hike came with a hawkish message, as Chair Warsh said he'd be "hard pressed to call current policy restrictive" and 16 of 18 officials pencilled in at least one more hike this year, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield above 5% to its highest since 2007. RBA Governor Bullock warned that August's flagged inflation risks are now arriving, lifting the odds of a September hike to around 85%. ◎ WHAT TO WATCH — Governor Bullock and Assistant Governor Hunter both make public appearances on Tuesday, before Thursday's August employment figures feed directly into the RBA's rate decision next Tuesday. Overseas, Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington begins Thursday, with AI high on the agenda. ◈ BIGGER PICTURE — Globally, things are still skewing hawkish, with the Fed, Bank of England and Bank of Japan all signalling or delivering tighter policy. Because US Treasuries anchor asset prices worldwide, a 10-year yield above 5% squeezes equity valuations everywhere by discounting future earnings more heavily. With oil still above US$100 and the RBA now odds-on to hike again, the tension between persistent inflation and stretched borrowers is only building.

Ehhh kia ora my dawgs! Here's what you missed on the show today: It’s been 48 hours since the Wahs loss, how we all feeling whānau? That’s RANK! Today Storme ranks “Birds”. Nickson’s son Atoa celebrated his first birthday yesterday, and he went to the BOUJEEST place for his bday lunch… How many NZ reps listen to us? What dat suburb! You tell us an out the gate story, we try and guess what suburb it happened in. What would Beauty & The Beast look like if it was set in NZ? What would The Lion King look like if it was set in Samoa? This planet is boring AF… What would make it more interesting? Shot for listening, From Eds AKA Eric AKA Edith AKA Eddison

When the Charles is away, the cats will play. If by "play" you mean "talk about fake bands from newspaper comic strips whose names start with N-Z." You meant that, right?

In the last episode Phil explored one of the darkest chapters of the ‘War of the Waleses', the post mortem 'thrashing of Diana' by some of her ex husband's closest advisors. He didn't know then that this story would, within a week, become headline news all around the world because of the new book by Diana's brother, Earl Spencer. With extraordinary claims flying around, and an apparently open war between the Spencers family and King Charles, who are we to believe, is it even right to air such allegations now, and what does it all mean for the ongoing family rift over the recently returned Harry and Meghan?Phil then leaves royal matters for one of his favourite periods - Regency Britain. Writer Peter Moore joins to discuss a remarkable new book he's written about Thomas Cochrane, one of the greatest - and most scandalous - British military heroes of all time. Almost as famous as Nelson in his lifetime, Cochrane is the model for Hornblower and Patrick O'Brien's Jack Aubrey. His life - one very much ‘lived on the edge' - is packed with glory, passion, political intrigue, scandals, court cases and love affairs.His book can be found here...https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dangerous-Game-Thomas-Cochranes-Life/dp/1784743208Here is a link to a low-fi copy of Phil's 2003 documentary with Patrick Jephson that he refers to (we make no claim to copyright andare circulating just for public information)...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fQQNoHZ0gI&t=590sThere's information and extracts from Phil's own book here.

Hans Felix shares his 11-year trading journey, how he made $109,000 on a single FOMC day, and his mechanical 'Hold Time Psychology' strategy for US30 and Gold. Full episode + show notes: https://tradingnut.com/sir-hans-felix/ Key moments - [03:54] This is basically freedom at the expense of knowledge that is uncapped. - [06:52] You become the liquidity until you find out... why is it that I see a sell and it turns into a buy? - [10:11] One of the biggest weak points that I had... is how to walk away sooner from a loss. - [12:11] Information overload happens when you try to learn everything instead of finding a simplified system that works for you. - [15:11] My favorite go-to setup is the previous session sweep, one-minute or five-minute break and retest. - [23:32] If your exit is not as tight as your entry, you might not make a dollar. - [28:28] As soon as I saw a hundred and nine thousand, I closed everything. Five minutes after, the market retraced all the way back. - [32:20] If you've bought at least ten to twenty prop firm accounts... you could have just kept on depositing that money into a live account. - [36:42] I pay myself about twenty percent of my gains so that even if I mess up, I still did my part in paying myself. - [43:50] I use a method called hold time psychology... knowing how long the setup usually plays for keeps you from micromanaging.
