Good old Brexit.
I've read in more than one place the exact opposite.
we've also had people claiming that it's easier to pull out onto traffic at 30 mph than 20 mph and a "doctor" who claimed that cars hitting pedestrians are safer at 30 than 20 because the pedestrian is knocked out of the way rather than going under the car.
people just make up any old shore that confirms what they already thought
Love my Hybrid , completely altered my driving behaviours for the better , it such a calming ride ,prey the rise drops so all folk can grab one .
Perhaps the Welsh Government could really help the environment drag back the 33 million badly its spending on 20mph spends and other shite soft policy projects , and subsidy working class folk to buy one ,now that is a real green policy for the people .

Had a plug in hybrid (A3) since mid August.
Plug in because it attracts a much better BIK value than the self-charging version, saving a fortune on tax.
Charge via an standard garden 240v socket, from empty = 5 hours, so ~£2.50.
EV mode gives me ~30 miles max 80mph, goes like sh*t off a shovel. Longer motorway drives gives me ~55mpg at 75mph, similar to my last A4 diesel.
Recommended.
The car you’re driving is probably ~25% more expensive than the combustion version ,my question is , would you save more than the 25% in fuel, extra tyres etc
It seems to me unlikely.
My last 2 cars have been KIA's on 3 year PCP, the current deal is just about up, 2 weeks ago i called into Gravells to get a price on a NIRO which is hybrid, trading my car back in it was going to be £350 a month for three years and an 18 k payment at the end, I'm going back to plan A, I'm going to buy my car out, I owe 7k and have been offered 12k in PX against a 3 year old A class Merc with 25k on the clock, with a couple of car options, I'm mulling over diesel or petrol it will be an AUTO, I'm done with gear changes!!!
You don't have to be Swedish.

there you go
Do you think you'd get better mpg if you stay under the speed limit?
Considering the amount of environmental damage that’s going on in respect of conflicts around the planet , it’s clearly not that important otherwise western nations wouldn’t be funding the Military Industrial Complex would they? They would be calling out the military for the sake of climate change.
I'm sure I would. Thank you for the question.

My Mrs hates our electric vehicle she reckons it's cold in the winter.I said it's all we need with this 20mph malarkey.
This is a CAT994A.
It burns about 1,000 liters of fuel in 12 hours, moving about 250 tons of dirt to remove the materials needed to produce ONE Tesla battery.
To make any drums you have to edit:
- 12 tons of lithium silk
- 15 tons of ore for cobalt
- 3 tons of ore per nickel,
- 12 tons of copper ore
And move 250 tons of crust.
For just - one - battery, approximately:
- 12 kg of lithium
- 30 kg of nickel
- 22 kg Manganese
- 15 kg of Kobalt
- 100 kg Kupfer
- 200 kg of aluminum, steel and plastic
And people believe in zero emissions when they drive their electric car. 🥳
"sustainability" 😂🤣

I bet you're always the first to be invited to parties.
I'm not very computer literate, so could anyone help me out? I'm not sure whether Chronic Memes on Facebook is a reliable source or not.

Oh no it’s a post that’s against “The Current Thing”. I can’t help it if you shit yourself when this happens bra. Still wearing a mask ��?
You’re a lemming doing lemming things
I took the plunge into the electric car market and am having doubts. Nothing wrong with the car I purchased earlier this year. It performs well and the more petrol goes up in price the better the comparison. However, I made tentative enquiries to change and discovered that the second hand market is not good at the moment. I know you take a big hit in depreciation in year 1 but the dealership part ex offer was a 45% reduction on the purchase price last January. I was not expecting that. I have been warned to expect a hefty insurance premium increase next year apparently caused by the fact that the write off incidence of electric cars is much higher than petrol cars. The Brexit tax increase on new electric cars next year should help the second hand market. Hefty drops in second hand values means the likelihood of negative equity, where you have a finance deal, increases. Of course, the market may change and I hope it does but, at the moment, it would make no sense to change until the finance deal runs out.
true costs of fueling an electric vehicle, including excess charging costs and subsidies, is equal to $17.33 per gallon of gasoline, a new analysis found.

that report is laughably bad.
i guarantee it's some right wing think tank with links to the oil industry
A Policy Foundation with links to Donald Trump and prominent climate change deniers that opposes climate change proposals and is funded by the oil and gas industries. I think I'll give it a miss.
That report is a joke. If that were the case, there would be NO electric vehicles on the roads. Gas is about $3.50 a gallon. So a 12 gallon fill-up will cost you about $42. As opposed to $208 in an electric vehicle? I don't think so. There are more and more of them on the roads every year.
