I repeat, credit money that can no longer exist. We've hit the buffers so that journey ends. That is what 2008 and since meant. .

Only all true if we are to maintain our economy as you admit. But as I've clearly shown, it is a false economy, founded upon credit which can no longer continue. We are heading towards a much poorer economy where we'll all have to get used to less, particularly for climate change reasons...

The latter not an option for the majority, but you are still completely blind to what has been going on during your life. The old reality I described continued until the 1950s, but in the 1960s we developed greed for the new. The answer came in the 1970s with the widespread distribution of...

The interim isn't sustainable but it will become much more than you think. The real reason they cannot afford housing despite multiple jobs is the multiplicity of drains on their income. I grew up in a Britain where the drain on income for the masses was rent, food and minimal other bills No...

As usual you left wing politicise and ignore the facts. You will never understand what is really going on until you liberate your mind of this entrenched bias. I'm as left wing as you are, but I don't let it distort my judgment. The Chinese policy is similar to ours in some ways, but...

It's not the motor industry this time, they were strongly opposed to EVs and were responsible for most of the original propaganda against them that is still being used by individuals now. This time, as I explained earlier, it's governments working with the motor industry to eliminate ic cars...

Indeed, and so do the new large load capacity e-trucks, but of course both are for highly specialised uses where gears can confer an advantage. For road going cars they are ridiculous and unnecessary, whether actual or simulated. .

You are one of the most negative people I've come across: As I said, the public transport follows. It did after the big stick in London. It will elsehere. Not as good of course due to far less customers, but still better than the present terrible situation that I'm well aware of. Maybe you...

Our road system is decades behind so needs attention anyway, but as I showed they are no longer promoting private EV ownership in the way they used to. They are promoting charging points for those who will still have EVs and need them, which includes vans of course, but all private subsidies...

Total madness, but typical of Toyota in this new age. They've stubbornly stuck to non-plug-in cars calling them self charging hybrids when they are neither. They have only one fuel, petrol, so they are not hybrid since any current is regenerated from previous petrol drive effort. And claiming...

The trouble we both have is that they are mostly concentrated in the affluent south. When I bought my e-car in 2018 I drove an over 500 mile round trip north to check it out. It being decades since I was last up there, I was astonished how clear the ordinary roads still were compared to here...

Not that bad. It might surprise, but the average annual mileage of ALL British drivers is just 7300, just 20 miles per day. .

Fully agreed, but what is so good about e-cars now is that they will be doing just that. It is clearly the policy of governments and the motor industry now they have woken up. Just look at the facts: We are not going to get cheap normal e-cars, despite all the previous promises. In fact...

Yes, see my post paragraph five just above. .

This is the conventional wisdom, but it is is questionable. From the beginning 12 years ago Norway, which encompasses the arctic circle, has led the entry into lithium battery e-cars. Since all ic car sales are to be banned there from 2025, for several years now over 50% of all new...

I've read that long before and it is suspect in two ways. Firstly there's disagreement in many quarters, particularly on the proportions of particulate sizes. Quantitatively it is even greater nonsense as I've pointed out. Secondly it is being used as propaganda against electric cars which...

No not parts. Like electrifying old ic cars, swapping the whole motor etc, rather like fitting a motor kit to a bicycle. E-cars are so expensive the cost of drive motor and controller replacement is peanuts. That bypasses all manufacturers blocking. Then if neessary SVA to get on road...

No, cars are different since there is far more money in them than in phones and e-bikes. There will always be someone making the necessary parts simply because they will be able to make good money doing it. That's why you can buy excellent electric conversions of any very old ic car, and why...

Oh dear, using a diesel to carry a bike makes you a villain in many eyes! You said we are using the same hymn sheet but that isn't the case in many respects. My home is deliberately as minimal as it could be, bought 55 years ago for entirely green reasons when I could have bought anything far...

As I said READ ! I said I bought the EV almost five years ago. I also said I retired 32 years ago. In what way does that preclude my doing 400 miles a year for most of my retirement in previous cars? There was more explanatory detail in my posts, but as an anti car person you were so busy...
