          The drivers aren't so Hansom though.

                  An electric vehicle produces three to four times the carbon emissions in the manufacturing process 👍
                  Correct. The German manufacturers wrote a white paper on this very subject, which the German government presented to the EU. It got buried. Not just the electric vehicle side, it’s also the push for lightweight and the cost of magnesium & carbon fibre over aluminium.

                    Uhm, yes, prices "slashed" apparently - Tesla car now reduced to a mere £43K. Somehow I don't envisage a mad dash to the showrooms.

                    The current technology (no pun intended!) will be obsolete within 10 years. It will be the new Betamax for those old enough to remember that.

                      Electric cars are great at what they do. Walk through London and they are everywhere, as is the charging infrastructure. Most streets have chargers in lots of lampposts or at the end of the street.

                      I'd definitely be wanting petrol or diesel if I was wanting to travel long distances though

                        The electric car battery start-up Britishvolt has gone into administration after failing to secure emergency funding. Administrators at EY were appointed yesterday after more than 200 employees were made redundant. Britishvolt planned to build a gigafactory on the Northumberland coast near Blyth able to produce hundreds of thousands of battery packs a year. The venture had been billed as an important component of the automotive sector’s switch to making electric cars, the government’s levelling-

                          You beat me to it Titty
                          Was reading this online just now
                          Do you really think that the government will start phasing out the production of petrol and diesel cars in ten years time.
                          Industry experts say that for the UK to keep up with the rest of the world in the production of electric cars we will need several Electric car battery manufacturers.
                          Not exactly a great start when BritishVolt a much championed start up collapses into administration.
                          Seems to me that the government wants everyone walking,cycling or on public transport in a decade.

                            Tends to confirm my prediction (post #69 above) I think. If investors were convinced that battery powered electric cars were the future then the money would be pouring in surely.

                              I would never in a million years buy an EV.....for many many reasons.....even excluding the fact I could not afford one.
                              I have a 2013 Mercedes B Class.....53k miles......get 45mpg around town and short journeys....and around 60mpg on a long journey......a journey of over 600 miles routine.....why would I change???
                              One of the biggest cons in motoring history.

                                Sorry, I don’t understand the con?

                                Electric vehicles might be too expensive or too impractical now (range, batteries, charging infrastructure) and I wouldn’t get one now even if I could afford it (too many long distance journeys in my life) but I can’t see anyone conning me. And in a few years time they may well make sense.

                                No one is confiscating your 2013 efficient but polluting gas guzzler either!
