I really thought we had left all the anti-BEV talk behind us as no matter what anyone says we will virtually all be driving one within the next ten years.
Why is it anti BEV to talk about the reality of what is happening? You’ve been advocating BEVs for as long as I can remember yet, as far as I recall, you’ve not switched to one yourself (Volvo PHEV if I recall, but I’ll stand corrected if I’m wrong), probably for the same sort of reasons that the vast majority of motorists haven’t. I can see me getting one before you ?
If you don’t like reading about the challenges that the BEV market is facing at the moment then it’s probably best to avoid reading any trade info, or any news at all for that matter, as it’s full of it, especially with sales to private buyers having gone into reverse for the first time, resale value woes and rental companies who had embraced BEVs now ditching them and going back to ICE. For these and many other reasons (not least being that the average age of cars on our roads is 9 years old – and that’s the average, so there are as many older than that as younger) and you don’t have to be a mathematician to work out that it’s going to be considerably more than 10 years until we are virtually all driving one. Far more like 30 years, and I probably won’t still be driving by then!
