No More Petrol Cars from 2030

i’m the same, neither my work base or majority of sites i’d go to have charging points. My day also changes short notice and often isn’t planned until i turn up.

i’ve nothing against the idea of EV’s, just don’t think the cars or infrastructure is anywhere near right and far from convinced 10 years is long enough to do it or convince enough people to switch. We’ll see in time

suppose its a good excuse to buy something silly for next 10 years or so:lol:
A Tesla model 3 is capable of all of that.
 
If a company can do for all cars what Tesla have done for theirs in regards to charging, ideally with huge government subsidies, then it could work. Ionity are making a stab at this but they charge far, far too much - £0.69 per kwh. Tesla charge £0.26.

Now if I needed charge and that was all that was available I'd be happy to pay it, because right now I have the benefit of entirely free charging at work and entirely free charging just down the road, kindly provided by my local council, but to fully charge my car with Ionity, it would cost an insane £58, or 24p a mile, which is roughly equivalent to a car getting 25mpg.
Is Tesla now available to all Evs for recharging?
 
no-one banned it, but was obsolete once broadband came into play, it then also drove innovation

I'm not expert in Automotive, although I have worked in the sector twice now, but working in IT and specifically the evolution of mobile technology at 3 global companies , the parallels are there

Your giving shit analogies anyway, as all the things you mention are progressively better than the things they're replacing.

Ev's aren't better, they're an alternative that has a few positives but currently more negatives

yes but at approx. £45k+ with real world range of about 300 miles.

Maybe its just me, but for that sort of money i find them a bit bland and boring. All about opinions though

Mate ffs stop saying currently- that’s the point I’m making
 
It's just not a problem, and it's far easy to stick it on charge overnight at home than it is to fill a petrol car up. Not to mention five-times cheaper.
My next door neighbour are a family of 5, all drive cars every day. Can you get 5 gang charging points if they all go electric?
That’s if you charge it with a regular plug mate, you’re charging a car not making 2 slices of f***ing toast
No that was a 7kw charger, a three pin plug would take 39 hours not 13 hours. Read the f***ing chart you quoted from Nigella.

Look, if EV's were better, then they'd naturally supercede the ICE & there wouldn't be any need to ban new sales, as manufacturers would just stop making them due to demand dropping. Instead they're being forced on us, on the hope that the problems go away. The biggest problem is infrastructure, and we have a government with a history of failure of rolling out big projects. I'm glad you have faith in them, cos I don't.

Manufacturers are already phasing ICE out

The infrastructure will be supplier led, not government
 
People will start nicking the charging cables so sales of dogs will go up and cctv and locks for the cables and this is a fantastic opportunity to grow the economy and stop the Spanish pinching our fish.

Phew 😅
 
Worrabout motor bikes?
Electric motorbikes have been available for 20 years. The ones you can get now do over 100 miles and are not that more expensive than the equivalent petrol ones. Quicker to charge than cars anarl because of the smaller batteries needed.
