yes that isn't new information- most cars are driven for more than 9 years though so it's worth it in the long rut

Do you think so when the battery life is not expected to exceed 9 years on a vehicle?

There’s more than 2 sides to every story, this version is littered with 8 letter words trying to impress, I’ll stick with the “no thank you” to electric cars thank you

I see Diesel is only £1.43 a litre by me and just 2p more than unleaded @£1.41
That’s the garage on Clarence Bridge
They’re cheaper than Morrisons

My neighbour just bought a 23 plate Tesla for £53.000 then had a moan about the cost of installing a charging point in his house and the cost of charging it overnight

I’m keeping my diesel Tone 😳👍

My 3 year PCP deal is up soon and i was out last weekend looking at cars, having gone back to Petrol from diesel 6 years ago, my next and final car will be a diesel and automatic shift change.

53 quid isn't bad for an EV to be fair.

I posted previously on this thread re. my daughter-in-law's EV. She now tells me that travelling [from Caerphilly] to Wigan last week to visit friends, she had to stop for 55 minutes in the services to charge up before return. I filled up at Tesco's earlier and timed the whole process. 4 minutes from driving on to driving off the forecourt. As an aside, she now thinks EV's are utter rubbish.

Until they develop battery tech ( where the battery gets charged within the vehicle) I can’t see how anyone who lives in the valleys in streets with rows of terrace houses would be able charge a car.

Hybrid tech is probably the best way forward.

It was wasn’t that long ago when Gordon Brown and the Labour government was giving tax incentives on “The dash for diesel” That didn’t last long.

Most people don’t travel from Caerphilly to Wigan daily though

Re: These Electric car things are great, in they. NOT !!!!

Earlier in this thread I said how my sister who really wants me to purchase an EV loaned me hers for the weekend.
She lives in Swansea
I traveled to hers and left my diesel with her.
I then drove to Cobham that was to do with work.
I then thought I’d take advantage of her generosity and drove to see a good mate in Middlesbrough.
On the Sunday I drove back to my sisters

If I told you that I spent at least five hours of that combined journey charging or waiting to charge the effin car I wouldn’t be exaggerating

The government’s around the world want to create 15/20 minute cities

The EV is part of their sinister plot
