Quote from: Michael Rolls on Yesterday at 07:34:17 PMI have always decried the idiocy of 'net zero'. Unless we are willing to accept a considerable reduction in our quality of life it just can't happen. My current hybrid - bought under duress because Ford had discontinued what I actually wanted, a petrol 5 door Mondeo - is OK, but I am confident when it comes to change it will, in real terms, get a good bit less for trade-in than of yore, so much so that I am going to keep it for longer than usual (I normally change before the MOT is due) and smile grimly at what I am offered.I suppose that one advantage of hybrids is that when the batteries do die a death, at least we'd still have the petrol engine to keep it going.
No idea why that appeared twice!
Quote from: Ashy on Yesterday at 07:19:40 PMTechnically if they are selling more than are being scrapped or exported, then EVs are becoming more popular. just that the initial enthusiasm for the product may have declined.Not necessarily the case. One has to consider the growth rate of new drivers in comparison with the rate of purchase of EV's.
Quote from: Ashy on Yesterday at 07:19:40 PMTechnically if they are selling more than are being scrapped or exported, then EVs are becoming more popular. just that the initial enthusiasm for the product may have declined.Well, it's a free country (at least for now). If people want to buy them, they can do so. I just hope they think carefully about it first.
Quote from: klondike on May 17, 2024, 10:31:52 AMWhat Rees-Mogg wants is reform of the Tory party. The grass roots are doubtless behind him but the Parliamentary party is now beyond redemption. My hope is for a total wipeout. Let the grass roots see that the brand has sunk lower than Ratners. That way there is an outside chance of either a reformed Tory party or maybe just Reform, Either way expect Socialism for the rest of your days now I fear.Indeed, I've resigned myself to departing under a Labour government.
Quote from: JBR on Yesterday at 06:12:45 PMTrue.This is my view as well.
Despite the ongoing assurances that Reform will never form a government, either now or in years to come, that is how I shall certainly vote.
And damn the consequences! My conscience is clear.
