Just came across this conversation and some good points but also some poor ones (I’m trying to be polite ?)
You can get an EV for closer to £20k than £30k, the same people who can afford a new EV will not be able to afford a new ICE
Petrol and diesel cars aren’t being completely outlawed, they’ll still be available but in a hybrid version
Very few people (especially disabled drivers) will do more than 100 miles a day, most will charge at home so an EV makes sense
The charging network isn’t very wheelchair friendly I agree, but what do you do when your ICE needs fuel? Isn’t the same person filling your tank able to plug in? As a wheelchair user doing 20k a year I get so frustrated at lazy ignorant planners who only want to stick in a charger to tick a box on their councils mission statement ?
Wireless charging is a non starter…. the Gov (any of them) can’t keep up with road repairs or getting proper broadband in so no chance they’ll invest in this
Anybody who has kids, grandkids or wants to have them should be doing everything in their power to stop using fossil fuel and killing this planet, we may all be dead in 100 years but those living are going to look back in anger at our failure to protect this world ?
