Ok Jonsky. I apologise. Its a shame you don't use that intelligence a little more often. Now I am aware you have it, I shall ignore your posts that are just childish insults and petty jibes. As I am aware you are capable of better. But I do zany and by doing that, it shows up the ulter stupidity of owning and driving an EV.. Would you prefer I put 'Ignored' so you know I've seen your crap or just ignore you altogether? |

linkFrom that piece Yes, from Drive safe and fast magazine. Where a bloke at a salvage company (The largest in the country) Says he's seeing up to 20 units a day that need checking. Yes I know where it’s from I posted it but that’s just one yard obviously countrywide it’s probable the same happens. |

You can do what you wish zany. But remember you cannot ignore the truth, there is no such thing as an ignore button in the real world of reality. |

But still no percentages which is what insurance companies need to hedge their bets. As for that one yard. A; nothing to say they aren't one of only two yards that take EV's. B; The guy says being checked, not being written off. All you can surmise about that is that insurance companies are being cautious about EV accidents and getting the batteries checked. |

No you are a master of turning posts that explain the reality of how an ev is not an alternative to ice you see those posts as some form of a personal attack on yourself |

You think only virtue signallers and net-zero zealots understand the importance of weaning ourselves off the addiction to fossil fuels? Did I say that ? Not in so many words, but your remarks carried the strong implication that only virtue signallers and net-zero zealots could possibly be in favour of, or at least currently neutral about, electric vehicles.
If that wasn't your intention then I'm happy to withdraw my remarks.

“The smart thing to do is to keep using ICE vehicles ( until) you can’t and hope that EV technology makes future EVs viable . Meanwhile the virtue signallers and the net zero zealots can bear the inconvenience.” None of that implies what you say. |

good discussion with James May about EV's - he still isn't sure that the technology is good enough for EV's and he has had 6 of the things..

Goodness - James is precisely re-iterating my key points, even down to so called 'range anxiety' not really being an anxiety about range. I'm beginning to suspect he reads the forum |

Goodness - James is precisely re-iterating my key points, even down to so called 'range anxiety' not really being an anxiety about range. I'm beginning to suspect he reads the forum I particularly like his point that range anxiety is actually re-charging anxiety. For most folks who only travel short distances most of the time its not an issue, but if you regularly do 250 mile round trips (Which after all is only London to Birmingham) its stressful because of the unreliability of the infrastructure. Imagine if you were never sure if the petrol stations would have any fuel. So conclusion, not there yet, but making progress. My problem on this forum is its home to so many who think Global warming is unimportant, untrue, unsolvable. So they don't see it as I do. That the reason we are having to run before we can walk is we sat on our arses for years and now we're going to miss the boat. |

Also interesting that James May thinks electric cars are a better idea.

For most folks who only travel short distances most of the time its not an issue, but if you regularly do 250 mile round trips (Which after all is only London to Birmingham) its stressful because of the unreliability of the infrastructure. Like anything that could potentially strand you (or significantly delay you), it 'isn't much of an issue until it is and, when it is, it's a significant problem'. Anyone who has driven a car with a slow puncture knows how much such an operation is a continuous pain in the rectum and the tyre going flat always threatening everything else and not always lining up with anything else you need to do.. James addresses this by talking about 'other cars'. A car can have many kinds of deficiencies - not being able to get from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds is a deficiency, but it is a deficiency that can be lived with easily. A car needing somewhat extra expense because the fuel it uses is slightly more expensive - that's another deficiency, but one that can be integrated easily. What can't be lived with comfortably is the kind of deficiency that BEVs have. With a BEV, you either know that the journey can be completed with the fuel in the car when you start, or you are taking a tangible risk by setting out. This is a completely different model of usage to people's current use of IC. Interestingly, BEVs have advantages that make little odds and their disadvantages really matter. You could boil BEVs problems down to recharging - However, recharging is an intractable problem. It can't be solved without a miracle. |
