No new Petrol or Diesel cars after 2035

One question ?

How are they going to replace the money lost on fuel revenue ?

They cant just put it on electricity as the poor little old lady with no car will won't afford her heating ?

 

It will suddenly be £500 a year to tax every vehicle

 

No No cos electric ones are free, like the cheap Diesel tarrif. OH HANG ON ...........

 

Have they given any thought to where this vast amount of electricity's going to come from? I suspect not.

 

Thats handy when you are sat in a service station !!

 

For one that may be a few years older !! No thanks.

 

Is there enough lithium on this gods earth and what about the polution extracting and processing it, I dont know just asking.

 

You eagerly awaiting your Tesla truck?

 

I live in a terraced house, with no drive, and other people in the row, or living over the road, have 2 or 3 vehicles. So if I don’t get home by 3pm, I’m unlikely to be able to park outside my house, or indeed outside the whole row of terraces. Has any thought been given to where I can charge my car? Didn’t think so

 

I suspect there won't be. Can extract it from seawater, but that likely involves vast amounts of electricity.

 

Lithium mining areas will become as rich as the oil fields if they find enough of it.

 

Went on a speed awareness course the guy said everyone would have a electric car- I said what if you live on the 14th floor of a block of flats with no parking

 

What will the life expectancy be of the electric car ? Be more pollution building and scrapping than what our old gas guzzlers create

 

The trouble is that it’s all down to headlines these days, not joined up thinking.

 

15 years isn't a longtime ... anyway its only new cars we can keep driving our T2 Bays well past that ... as long as there are still petrol stations.

 

This my brother has been working on this.

Personally the investment along with the infrastructure upgrades needed will mean that it’s not going to happen, they will argue what to do for 10years then change their mind.

I like electric cars but don't pretend that it's the answer. They would be better off improving public transport and getting us to give up our fixation with owning cars.
