Some people will always be stuck in their ways and reluctant to change, even at a cost to the enviroment.No-one is forcing you to do anything. Not for 7 years at least, and even after that you'll still be able to buy your beloved combustion . Maybe you're in the lucky position to buy a brand new car, but majority of people buy second hand. Anyway, from 2030 almost all OEMs will have moved to full electric anyway as that is what the rest of the world are doing. This is just another example of Britain retreating.
Tesla has been the top selling brand consistently this year, so looks like the majority have already made their decision.
I remember when Tories took pride in being called the party of business. Now they seem determined to piss off business by setting them on one path, only to move the goalposts once the companies are balls deep invested along the other path....weird.

Hot off the press my friend...look at the 6th story down (need a subscription to read it)...headline "Tesla Model Y powers toward being No. 1-seller for 5th time in 8 months".
I had my previous car for 17 years, and it was 7 years old when i bought it.The EV market in the UK is dominated by those who can get tax breaks through owning through their own business and the corporate market.
The average man on the street can't afford them. Not that people should buy new that often anyway.
It's much better for the environment to make your car last until it's ready for the knackers yard. Less new production equals less embodied carbon. Much more environmentally friendly but in this country we like to show off in nice shiny new things.
And driving an old shitheap is fucking cool.
What's the scam?My old milk mans float did more miles per charge than the modern EVs, we do not have the infrastructure to power the grid and EVs. Zero carbon is a myth, and a scam.
7 years? If they really want to it can be done.Not in the time available.
if they really wanted to save the flat earth, they would go with the pressured water engines, but there’s no money in that.This topic could be moved to the conspiracy site...imo this is an actual example of a shadowy cabal of people, who genuinely have the power to interfere in a nations politics.
These oil and gas companies have know for 50+ years the effect of burning fossil fuels but huried the evidence. Still today they are pulling the strings. Never mind the world literally burning over the summer in every continent...we still can't transition to cleaner (and, more importantly for you and I, cheaper) sources of fuel. Madness.
Think of all those diesel generators running 24/7 to create the energy they need to power up their car batteries..7 years? If they really want to it can be done.
There are options to diesel generators, unfortunately the rental companies make their money from selling the diesel.Think of all those diesel generators running 24/7 to create the energy they need to power up their car batteries..
Yeah its all a scam. They have no interest in saving the planet. Their only interest is making profit like a good capitalist should..There are options to diesel generators, unfortunately the rental companies make their money from selling the diesel.
If the will is there it can be done. It's been talked about for years.It takes a long time to build a new power station and then install thousands of miles of high voltage cables, new substations and high current charging points in everyone's house.
When the electricity providers have us by the balls with no competition from other sources do you think the price will be low.
Yes, but over the lifetime of the vehicle the overall consumption is less than production and use of petrol vehicles.The irony is the EVs use fossil fuels
Don't they have electricity?Think of all those diesel generators running 24/7

Wind farms can barely keep up with present demand, to satisfy the needs of electric vehicles we need at least two power stations and then we need to get the power to where it's neededThis Govt have refused planning permission for in-shore wind farms because their land owning chums don't like them. The very same Govt are all about competition, so there should be competition from other sources for lower prices.
