Plus currently electric cars produce enough CO2 to make then equivalent to having 40,000 miles on the clock already.
But I'm doing my bit. I'm ripping out my lovely combi that warms our house and produces plenty of piping hot water and replacing it with an air source heat pump. It will cost £10,000. I will also need to either increase the size and number of radiators to 'huge' throughout the house or install underfloor heating - approx £7,000, because they don't heat the water to high enough temperature.
