I would be reasonably happy with a ban on petrol unless it was made out of air and water using surplus renewable energy. Doesn't do anything about local air pollution and the carbon ends up back in the atmosphere but at least it isn't drawing more carbon from the ground. The thing is that it...

You mean this 'man of the people' ?

It is going to fall to consumers to make the switch. As more people better understand the climate consequences and realise that EVs are both better and cheaper the uptake will increase. It is just sad that it will take much longer than it should due to misinformation and FUD. Sigh.

Also Chinese tastes, since the MG4 did not sell at all well in China. The more aggressive look (e.g. Cupra) seems to go down well in Europe but they are moving in a more blobby direction in China.

Brother-in-law got one of these a few months ago and is very happy with it. Not sure if it is pre or post update as I haven't seen it. I think it was about a year old.

Thanks for following up. If you're into the MGB, have a lot of money and aren't so worried about (complete lack of) charging speed then you could consider one of these £100k retro things... https://rbwevcars.com/ No idea what the insurance would be, but they are less powerful than the...

Sobering reading... The Old World Order is Dead The US created a system that benefitted them. Trump is such a moron he thinks it is unfair and wants to blow it up. The last time the US turned entirely inward there was economic depression (especially in the US), fascism and then a world war...

I agree with Salty, pre-registered seems to be a good option if there are good deals and you can afford the up front cost. Then you own the vehicle.

Doesn't really make sense. Why are the two options assumed to be 'be great at five things or bad at one'? Surely the alternatives are 'to aim at greatness at one thing or aim to be adequate at five things'? Seems a bit 'Jack of all trades, master of none.' Though I like that they showed...

That is all to your credit. Hopefully the positivity will spread and crowd out the negativity!

The car should use regen when you apply the brakes where available. If you slam on the brakes then it will need to use the friction brake so supplement the motor braking. In theory lower regeneration should be more efficient, particularly on fast roads. Better to maintain a constant speed than...

Cheers, Gary! Only joking. I must admit we bought ours from Newbury Waylands but have always used Oxford for the servicing and updates.

Agreed. I wonder if the problem is more likely to be that firms want trained staff but don't want to train them themselves (if the staff member will just get poached or set up on their own). Only 50% of people go to University. I think it is good for people to go to University but bad if they...

In the case of dogs, they like to move around and change position. Often they will lie across multiple different seats (they aren't human shaped). Dog is tethered to one of the slots but we leave the others plugged in permanently to stop the chiming.

Oh no, what a nightmare. Trying to fob people off is not good. Though I do wonder if there is just a massive shortage of EV technicians in the country as a lot of dealerships seem to be the same. Nevertheless, you would think they could at least provide an initial investigation and then...
