Thank you and understand. Not sure how pragmatic it is to justify a position and post a link to it without reading it but heyho! That video is very dated, especially because there is no reference to facts/data (there is a NOTE FROM TED: … Several claims in this talk lack scientific support). That said I do agree the total cost to the environment for each vehicle type should be considered rather than just tail pipe emissions. (interestingly electric vehicle wins this in your video aswell). Green energy hasn’t made any leaps forward in the last 2 yrs, again I beg to differ…50% of the Uks energy is now produced by renewables, this was less than 20% in 2010. Have a read of the link it might help with some of your misconceptions. https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero/electric-vehicles-myths-misconceptions I think its probably worth drawing a line under this now……
Ian YOU MUST NOT CRITICISE THE EV EVANGELIST’S I love my new petrol Mini best thing by far than sliced bread and easy to fill up within seconds and built in uk not china. I also heard if buying an EV the depreciation is so bad and second hand petrols and diesels going up in value, I like EV though but not the infrastructure and long wait times queuing or the out of order charge points and to add the expense it is ok charging on low rate tariff at home but on long journeys it has been proved there it is very expensive and then there are the different charging stations with some that do not tell you how much it has cost you. If people are to embrace EV then it should have been fast chargers that fit every car and the cost involved in a transaction. If just using and charging at home with enough charge to get there and back then it is good. And also if you are getting on Motability then depreciation is you do not need to worry about only as said the charging.
