I'm speaking factually about the Hancock behaviour that everyone has seen. His "bullying the public approach" with ever increasing threats and unnecessary huge fines undermined the message the medics, other ministers and even the PM were trying to put across, which was to seek the public's...

I found it good to hear Dominic Cummings savage criticism of Matt Hancock, it fitted well with my extremely low opinion of Hancock and his conduct and decisions thoughout the pandemic. .

I'm sure you are right that's the preference of most, but that preference can be overruled. The high cost of an EV or the high running costs of an ICE car, road space charges, pollution zone charges, alternate day driving only can all rule out the option of car ownership for many. .

Adler Diplomat car with rear gas generator:

Absolutely. We've already shown in London how cheap and for many free public transport with high service frequency leads to a large fall in car ownership, we have the lowest rate in the country. Even for those still owning a car, the frequency of usage and mileage drops dramatically. Again...

True, we set the example and they follow voluntarily. Capitalist economy, Tick Lifestyle when affordable, Tick Climate change agenda, Tick E-vehicles, Tick .

The French are already there, Information Link Hardly the first revolution! We began by walking, then rode animals and aspired to own one. Then we hopped onto whatever the animal was pulling and aspired to own them. We followed with railways, and although we couldn't own them we could...

They all have climate change on their mind, if only because it is affecting them as well so greatly now. Hunger is a great motivator and all these countries will change once they drop far enough back on the greening agenda and also suffer more. Their people won't refuse to since they are far...

No, I'm living in Britain, not even the UK, so that's our subject and I post about that. What the rest of the world does has little effect at all on our motoring here or even in Europe. It's only of interest, not having any practical influence on our driving. So I'm not contradicting you at...

Your post is all about the fuels etc, and that's always been the case generally elsewhere. But it's different game now due to the climate change threat, it's only emissions that count, with zero being the only acceptable number. So it won't just be about fuels or even vehicle types, there will...

I don't think so, making it more complicated with unreal information that cannot be judged for accuracy in advance. Those of us with e-cars find them much easier than ICE in this respect. We have all the necessary information on our dashboard, number of miles covered since charge, number of...

No, I missed nothing, perhaps you missed that I included cars in my answer, including the fact that it will be as much as 20 years before range becomes a problem and may never do. I can explain that if you wish. And of course I'm only speaking of fuel cells, we have no hydrogen ICE london...

Agreed, but ICE will lose some of its advantage as it has to clean up its act as it runs in those fringe applications where battery electric won't do. A lot of its output will be absorbed by the technology to make them zero emission. And structural change shouldn't be discounted. We once...

Opel have been wholly French owned by PSA (Peugeot) for over four years now, so it's likely they've been heavily involved. However I don't see this as an important development for a number of reasons. Most vans travel relatively short daily distances and batteries are already serving them more...

This is of more interest to you in your location: Electric vehicle (EV) charging specialist Connected Kerb is working with Kent County Council in a project that hopes to provide a blueprint for local authorities across the UK to deliver sustainable, affordable and accessible EV infrastructure...

Spread over time of course. The early stages are like many now, concentrating on the long distance routes where mid journey charges can be needed, since most other charging is done at home overnight. Typical is a scheme by Franklin Energy going ahead now for a 236 bay charging point at Brent...

I see it as a warning of the horrors that will come from the proposed trade deals. The British are price obsessed and schizophrenic about animal welfare and our farms, so will buy any rubbish if its cheap enough. We'll be adding Australian beef to the New Zealand lamb, Danish bacon, Dutch...

The 3 million are those who are living in the UK in the complete sense. The other 57 million are getting by somehow despite our governance. .

Definitely not and rarely is. We got zero points from the jury and zero points from the public. Conclusion? That'll teach us for voting for Brexit. Second worst was Germany with no points from the public. Conclusion? That'll teach them not to lord it over the rest of the EU and hog the...

That could kick off the dispute here again on this subject, now we've lost our own over 75 free licence and only get half that blind benefit. .
