Depends how often the batteries need replacingYes, but over the lifetime of the vehicle the overall consumption is less than production and use of petrol vehicles

Build more onshore wind farms, they’re cheap and can be built very quickly. Where there’s a will there’s a way.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 needed
We would need literally tens of thousands of them to replace all of the combustion engines we have in this country.Build more onshore wind farms, they’re cheap and can be built very quickly. Where there’s a will there’s a way.
Why are his cars so fucking expensive?Tesla showed how to produce free energy over a hundred years ago
So put up tens of thousands of them and place them more locally?We would need literally tens of thousands of them to replace all of the combustion engines we have in this country.
And how do you get the power to where it's required?
This is conspiracy nonsenseTesla showed how to produce free energy over a hundred years ago, but his boss Marconi said unless its metered to make money forget it. It is now impossible to market a free energy device, just like it is a against the Law to claim a cure for Cancer unless it go's through big Pharma which they would never allow.
The problem is they need to be out in the countryside often on hillsides to get enough wind to turn them. They're higher and noisier than pylons and we would still need the pylons to get the power to where it's required. And remember it isn't windy all of the time.So put up tens of thousands of them and place them more locally?
Had this discussion with someone recently who believes they're a blight on the landscape, pointed out that perhaps people thought the same when electricity pylons were first erected, perhaps even telegraph poles. After a while you don't even notice them.
They chop up the birds and need gallons of oil to lubricate, they cannot be recycled and if they were really designed to be propelled by wind would have a sail design like a proper windmill and not a f**king propeller.The problem is they need to be out in the countryside often on hillsides to get enough wind to turn them.

That is Elon Musk not Mr TeslaWhy are his cars so fucking expensive?
And need access roads to be built so that they can get the equipment to them to erect and maintain them.They chop up the birds and need gallons of oil to lubricate, they cannot be recycled and if they were really designed to be propelled by wind would have a sail design like a proper windmill and not a f**king propeller.
They're high in the hills. Who's being kept awake by the noise?The problem is they need to be out in the countryside often on hillsides to get enough wind to turn them.

Oh, so you are bothered about nature and not using oil then. Good to see you seeing some sense at lastThey chop up the birds and need gallons of oil to lubricate, they cannot be recycled
People who live on hillsThey're high in the hills. Who's being kept awake by the noise?
Yes that's why we also need solar, tidal and nuclear but again your government have failed to soert this out.The problem is they need to be out in the countryside often on hillsides to get enough wind to turn them.

What are they designed to do then?They chop up the birds and need gallons of oil to lubricate, they cannot be recycled and if they were really designed to be propelled by wind would have a sail design like a proper windmill and not a f**king propeller.

this is why solar panels on new buildings should be mandated just like energy efficiency.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.
Every little bit helps.You can’t put enough solar panels on a building to generate enough power to run it in the dark
That is correct, just like seatbelts don't guarantee you'll survive a car crash, but we still have them because they help reduce the chance.You can’t put enough solar panels on a building to generate enough power to run it in the dark
"we only contribute 1% carbon pollution. China and India should sort themselves out first!!!"That is correct, just like seatbelts don't guarantee you'll survive a car crash, but we still have them because they help reduce the chance.
i'm so sick and tired of the argument (about anything not just this) that if you can't fix the whole problem in one go you shouldn't bother trying anything at all. It's a bullshit attitude.
Yep, bet it took more than one visit for your uncle to get his arsehole bleached.That is correct, just like seatbelts don't guarantee you'll survive a car crash, but we still have them because they help reduce the chance.

450 miles is decent and it looks good too.Top 10 longest range electric cars on sale 2024 | Auto Express
Racking up the miles? These are the electric cars with the longest battery ranges that you can buy in the UKwww.autoexpress.co.uk
What about most buildings don’t have the structure to support things like this on their roof?That is correct, just like seatbelts don't guarantee you'll survive a car crash, but we still have them because they help reduce the chance.

The problem is if something is made compulsory people will be suspicious and fight against it, what needs to happen is solar panels, EV's etc need to be an attractive option, cost effective and reliable.That is correct, just like seatbelts don't guarantee you'll survive a car crash, but we still have them because they help reduce the chance.

Unfortunately motor manufacturers have a long history of exaggerating the capabilities of their products so we all know these claims are not really achievable in real life conditions. Until the "fill up" time is comparable with petrol/diesel they will struggle to be attractive to Mr Ordinary450 miles is decent and it looks good too.
I’m still nowhere near sold however. It’s much too much of a changing market.
Anyway I’m not in the habit of buying a brand new car and I like to own a car and not lease one. Have it as an asset. That won’t be changing in my lifetime.
