Order your EV lemmons early for Xmas folks... New car delivery delays REVEALED: How long do you have to wait for if you order one today? Here are the details for ALL major brands Industry figures suggest the chip shortage and supply chain issues restricting car outputs is now easing However, customers can still expect extended delivery delays if they order a new motor in showrooms today We've asked mainstream brand about average lead time on new orders - and which cars you can get quickest linkYep. Its why I ended up with a hybrid instead of full electric. 14 month delay on the one I wanted. Even some of the hybrids now have a 6month lead time. Unlike ICE. |

AA: Pensioners stranded for eight hours after electric car breaks down..... TWO pensioners who visited Wiltshire to collect a dead relative's belongings were left stranded in the freezing cold for eight hours by their breakdown company. Andy and Margaret Stevens made the 90-mile trip from Bracklesham in Chichester to pick up Mr Stevens’ brother’s belongings from his canal boat in Caen Hill Marina, Devizes, following his death in December. But their journey turned into a nightmare when their electric car began to run out of power. The couple, both aged 70, hurried to a charging point at Station Road car park, only to find it out of use. They fell short when they tried to make it to the next nearest charging point in Melksham and were forced to pull over next to a field between the two towns just after 2.30pm. They immediately called the AA for help, as they are on the breakdown company’s priority list, but were still waiting almost eight hours and 10 phone calls later. www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/23273561.aa-pensioners-stranded-eight-hours-electric-car-breaks/ |

The cracks are starting in the EV propaganda - at some point people are going to have to admit that the only viable future is with synthetic fuel..
