Every day across the internet and media I see more and more reasons not to indulge in EVs . I suspect EVs will only be a viable option when all the other options run out. I see the same reasons re-hashed. I see the same excuses and denials re-hashed . |

It wasn't because it was a battery car. But it was a battery car without a hydraulic brake system . |

EV's will only become popular when people buy them through choice rather than through legislation. And that wont happen until EV's are as cheap, reliable and last as long as a diesel which is decades away. And that's just this country, or western Europe but in some parts of the world EV's will never happen. Agreed. Smokeless coal only became popular when they banned smoky coal. HFC's only became popular when they banned CFC's Sometimes the greater good has to come before personal choice. Paid workers only became popular when we banned slavery. ;-) Smokeless coal was a viable alternative from the start . EVs are not. There is no need for virtue signallers when a viable alternative is available. |

Interesting story from the US - guy rented an EV in California and had a bit of a nightmare. Seems it doesn't matter what country you are in the public recharging infrastructure is inadequate. If you cant make EV's work in California then they are not going to work anywhere.

Try again. That's towing. Not in your boot. You claimed a spring upgrade meant you could put 5 tons in your boot. Nevara's do not have boots they are PICK UPS FFS... You said boot, perhaps you don't know the back of your own vehicle. Or perhaps you were B***S**ting as usual and got caught out at usual. We all know a trailer is nether a boot nor a cargo bed. |

More generic nothing words bought to you from Pacifico. Fantasy predictions such as range will increase. Lol. Every time the range increases a you tube twat claims he has to drive further. And apparently every ICE owner knows someone who drives from Lands end to John of Groats every day without a break. Its so petty its laughable. The world is not the same as the UK - this bizarre fetish of yours to believe that a comfortable western lifestyle is shared by everyone around the globe is madness. The technological limitations to widespread EV use in most of the world mean that they simply will not be the answer. Never said anything of the sort. I said South America didn't have a big effect compared to the Western world. I accepted that in the medium term they would not be able to change. You having to make up what I said again. Are you really unable to argue logically? |

Another few thousand earnt from the idiots. |

But it was a battery car without a hydraulic brake system . So? The brake system was not the same as brake systems in ICE cars insofar that it was not controlled by the same system as EVs . Hydraulic systems with a servo would not have had that problem . Read the article . |

Read the article . Oh yes hydraulic brake systems never fail. According to the NHTSA, brake failure is a factor in about 22 percent of automobile accidents in the United States. |

We all know a trailer is nether a boot nor a cargo bed. But a pickup bed is zany...Unlike you I don't have to bullshit about what I DRIVE.....And guess what? I pay less road tax than you are about yoo. The government changed their minds on increasing tax on crew cab pickups, It seems they are wiser than the doom goblins deciples... |

As the man said ..he had experienced ICE car brake failure but in every case you get a warning but in this case there was no warning at all , the brakes just refused to work . The brake pedal pushed back. …..read…..the….article…….. |

According to the NHTSA, brake failure is a factor in about 22 percent of automobile accidents in the United States.Total BOLLOCKS what the NHTSA fail to report is the fact that most US cars are automatic and brake failure in many cases can be attributed to driver error of hitting both pedals at the same time. And the majority of US cars parking brakes can be deployed as the majority of them are mechanical rather than hydraulic..... |
