Loads of those magic windmills.How is Ireland going to power these electric cars?
This was interesting.Carnival cruise ships emit more emissions than all of Europe’s car combined.
Rather start by pieing the cruise industry tbh
By 2030. Bold move that like
Irish plan to ban petrol, diesel vehicles
The Irish government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles by 2030, as part of a major strategy to protect the environment.
The aim is to ensure that all new cars and vans on Irish roads in 11 years' time are electric vehicles.
Aye, that article is well skewed TBF, if you had 5 people in the Mondeo you could decide it by 5 like they have with the plane.Most of them still use horse and cart anyway
The newer planes like the dream liner and possibly the A380 were sold as having better fuel consumption per passenger than most family cars, that is obviously dependant on the plane having full capacity.

EDIT: just reread it sorry.
The thing with planes is that the airports and surrounding areas take the brunt.
Well until they decide to build a third runway.You would like to think that you realised the house you were looking to buy was on the edge of a runway though.

I am aware what car manufacturers are there to do. The EV market is experiencing exponential growth and legislation is in its favour, so making money is exactly what they will do in pushing forward with EV adoption. It’s happening now whether you choose to post smilies or not.Car manufacturers are there to make money not save the planet. The cost of attempting to force everyone to switch to EVs over the next decade would bankrupt them all man
By improving, decentralising and decarbonising their supply infrastructure, the same as the UK is.How is Ireland going to power these electric cars?

Look it up for yourself.Evidence?
Always talking about tomorrow Joe...Look it up for yourself.
Global market in 2017 was 118 billion dollars, by 2025 its expected to be 567 billion, a five fold increase.
But only one motorway of note. It's a nightmare getting around Ireland.
The more electric cars on the road, the bigger the problem. I was at a supermarket and there must have been 200 cars in the car park and 3 charging points.
Now imagine all 200 were electric, and even 5% of them wanted to charge, that's 10 charging points needed.
Now imagine something like Glastonbury with loads of people driving electric cars. Every charging point in the immediate area would be backed up because so many people would have had long distance drives to make to get there and the same journey home. For a one off event like that how do you cater for it? No point having hundreds of charging points going unused for most of the year
I wonder if one day major motorways could be fitted with overhead wires or something which cars could connect to like a train?
Just like on tomorrows worldI imagine technology could improve to the point where cars could be charged wirelessly as they drive along the road, or sit in car parks.
Just like on tomorrows world
And costs a fortuneThis technology already exists to charge phones and electric trains etc., just needs more investment and fine tuning which is usually driven by widespread adoption, which is coming down the line in the car industry.
Building petrol garage infrastructure cost plenty too!And costs a fortune
The question related to growth, the entire discussion is based on “tomorrow”.Always talking about tomorrow Joe...
Smiley incoming...
