Its the manufacruring of EV’s I think @WardyGTC was refering to @Ian, but the point is we still need fossil for our electricity at peak times, untill battery storage takes hold allowing windmills to run 24/7.
For my needs, my concern is this. It will also play a factor for those who took up smart meters eventually.
“With this in mind, the UK Government has introduced Electric Vehicle Smart Charge Points Regulations, which ensure that EV charge points will have smart functionality; allowing the charging to happen when there is less demand on the grid, or when more renewable (and therefore often cheaper) electricity is available. This means that no matter what time you plug in your car, it will charge when you need it but can automatically pause during those peaks when demand on the grid is highest and energy is most expensive.”
“Our energy system is also becoming more flexible to maximise on this cleaner energy whenever it’s available. Apps like the WhenToPlugIn app, as well as new legislation and smart energy tariffs, are all helping us manage our electricity use – for example, Smart Chargers that can start or pause our EV charging to ensure it’s using the cleanest and cheapest power.”
I don’t think anyone is dead agaisn’t BEV’s, were all different whether thats the range isn’t adequate depending on an indviduals lifestlye They want to see how technolodgy evolves or they are quite content with with fossil fueld for know.
