Paid to use electricity from now 7:00am till 2pm, fill your boots. Imagine if Petrol stations offered a free day! Terrible these electric cars.

 

From running costs they are great, particularly if you're using home solar for charging!
For removing harmful emissions from city centers, also great, although fine particulates from brakes and tyres are still a huge problem.
But they are no real solution to saving the planet from climate change, particularly if you have a large BEV with few miles driving.

 

Two out of three aint bad. And it's the two I care the most about. I disagree with the third one but I'll let you have it, the better thing is driving second hand EV's if you're not clocking up mileage yourself.

 

Who buys 2nd hand EV’s !

 

Clever people. There was a massive influx of leased cars due to the tax benefits, some amazing bargains available on 3 year old cars. My next one will be a 3 year old, I only went new this time as the timing was perfect and I got a killer deal.

 

German ev sales down almost 40 percent , why

cos gov stopped subsidising ....

Tells you all you need to know really

 

You made those numbers up but yeah subsidies do help. In the whole EU, the number of BEVs sold grew by just 1.3% but excluding Germany the increase was 9.4%

 

in other news the ruble has lost all it value lol

No different , in the sunniest continent

Yes, all the same, sales of EV's are growing and journalists are digging deep to find some sort of negative news to draw in suckers for add revenue.

 

where are the numbers ?

US , the 2nd biggest market , sales are not increasing

 

Google US EV sales, there's a ton of data. Sales are increasing whether you like it or not.

 

Haha , can put a spin on anything . We are not talking share price here

hybrid might be increasing , ev however has to be mandated for this to happen

 

I'm not spinning anything, you're believing what you want to believe. https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-in...-2024-ev-sales
Filled up 20-100% at a customers house today, very nice of them. Never been given free Petrol.

 

A number of big players are not pushing ahead with production of EV lines , why would that be ??

 

well done , I imagine you feel chuffed youve somehow cheated the system

 

Because you made it up.

 

Cheated what system? Big Oil's system? I had a cup of coffee and a biscuit too, was that cheating the Nescafe and bourbon system?

 

Here's an entire page worth

Your search term “USA car manufacturers halting ev production lines” the answer is none of them.
eg

still on target c

 

I didn’t say halting , did I !


You are not going continue speculatively puttingn money into something that might not sell are you




…unless it’s tax payer money of course

 

It’s your link, it’s a search for halting production.

 

basically they're saying Ev's are for ****

...without taxpayer injection

 

I’d rather be the **** than the sucker.

You was sucked in at the first Jack , should kept the pushbike that would Actually saved the planet. 😀


maybe they tried to sucker you into a 20k disc brake monstrosity and you took the alternative easy option

 

I still ride my bike or walk as much as possible, wish more people would, too many lazy *******s polluting the town. Saving up for an eBike now.

 

I haven't read all 50 pages but even I'm considering a mitsubishi phev. I like the 'up to' 30 mile range on the battery before the engine kicks in.

For my 12miles a day and charging on cheap rate (1am -.5am) it's slowly ticking boxes.

 

a pretty disgusting tax dodge
