    Seems to be mixed messages because Tesla model Y is currently heading to be the highest selling car in the world not only in comparison with other BEVs but also ICE cars.

    CATL who supply Tesla batteries have announced they are going to mass produce a battery that will have a range of 621 miles. The Qilin which seems to be based on an improved version of the Tesla battery has greater density than existing batteries and is due to be in full production in the next few months.

    The fact is that like it or not BEVs are the technology of the sustainable future that we all need to embrace. I’m certainly not a technical expert and don’t pretend to be but I recognise the difference between old and new technology.

    Wigwam said in 2019 that EVs would “never catch on”. Admittedly with the power of hindsight I beg to differ.

    I do think that there will be incentives to switch to sustainable energy that will lead to ICE vehicles being viewed rather like steam engines are now, with a warm feeling of nostalgia but the realisation it’s time has passed.
