    Clipped wings,

    UK ICE cars may be a drop in the ocean in the global scale of co2 production but the number of people murdered in the UK is also a drop in the ocean of the global scale….. so does that mean we can carry on killing as long as we try to keep the numbers down ?

    Your VW may use very little fuel but it is still using fossil fuel when there are renewable alternatives available, and I always hear about replacing this big battery pack…. never about all the ICEs that had to be replaced before they started to get a bit more reliable… anybody else remember cars from the 60’s & 70’s? Besides those battery packs that are no longer any use for cars get recycled for other uses.  I do agree that the exponential population increase is a big issue, one that almost all governments are afraid to tackle.

    As for self charging hybrids, they are a marketing con to keep people buying fossil fueled vehicles and keep the oil industry in business  ☹
