Ive been following this for a few days whilst stuck in bed and one of a few things thats actually made me smile!
Theres this constant talk of the need to change mindset, being preached to if one doesn’t toe the line into thinking the same way of them. Its not nice to constantly be on the recieving end day after day!
Then there are those that bring up the green agenda of owning an EV. What they forget is the footprint during manufacture is much higher than that of an ICE. Depending on the vehicle, not many on here will offset the footprint during their lease. Volvo is one manufacturer who is very open about this. Of course eco warrior scientists disgree. At the same time these footprints are being shifted ffrom one country to another, Manufacturers have the ability to buy footprints from one another to meet targets set by the governments. However I fully understand the mindset of end users if one particular form of transport is going to be cheaper for them to run than another.
For me I don’t to be going from A to C to get to B or A to C to D to E to get to B during winter months, Getting from A to B in as little time as possible is an important factor for me!
Perhaps when higher mileage semi solidstate or solidstate batteries with fast charging times become the norm others may choose to look again or the charging infrastructure would now meet their needs. It worth remembering, many of our European friends have yhree pase in their homes with 11Kw and now 22Kw home chargers becomoming the norm, usefull during the pesky 4hrs cheap rate we have here!
Im sure if someone wants advice they will ask for it. All this huffing and puffing just because someone doesn’t like what brand of car someone else drives, the fuel type they drive is no one elses business and just sad. above all it causes divisions on what is otherwise a decent forum!
