The next motoring scandal 09:10 - Feb 7 with 5953 viewsCatullus

It's already been said on here by some smart person (Not me, definitely not) but the drive for electric cars is an eco sham, the next diesel scandal and this news story though it is in the Daily mail seems to capture it perfectly,

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/are-electric-cars-the-new-diesel-scandal-wai

Electric cars are not the future we want or need, most of us cannot afford them and anyway, they will not do anything to save the planet and the need for mining rare materials means they will cause the destruction of habitat.

Hybrid cars and then maybe hydrogen cars (when the tech gets there) are a better answer.
Damningly for any government that's pushing E cars as a policy, 90% of E car owners also own a diesel or petrol car to use for longer journeys and even with heavy subsidies still only the top earners can afford these cars without making sacrifices.

I can't afford one right now and I don't want one in 2030 either, a hybrid yes but because electric cars are so heavy they cause extra wear and tear, emitting more pollutants from tyres and brakes AND the experts think they will kill more people in any accidents because of the extra weight.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

HVO will take over from diesel in the near future. Cuts emissions by 90%.
Wanna buy some?

I think you’ve rumbled the EV lobby!






It's worth watching the first 2mins 30secs.

So what did you manage to buy for £16,000?
Or was that £16,000 more than the Fabia?


A 2016 30kWh Nissan Leaf for £15,750. Crazy money in mind for a car!

3 MOT's in the time I've had it and no issues at all. There's no valves, head gaskets, pistons, exhausts, cam belts, oil etc to worry about.

I'm contemplating a battery upgrade in 2yrs.
