and power stations dont spew out to the atmosphere which falls on the streets we live? The trouble with most people is, out of sight out of mind works too well. Its the same as anyone who claims they dont pollute because they recycle, they dont care that our country takes what we recycle, then...

The power for our EV's mostly comes from fossil fuel power stations, we have only shifted the pollution to another source. Even if you signed up to a green energy supplier, if you follow the power cables from your home they will lead to a coal power station :)

Solar is a joke in this country and it always will be due to the regular overcast weather. I was quoted £14000 for a solar and battery system and when i looked at the predicted daily generation by month which was very ambitious and likely to much less, it became very clear that i would not...

We will all pay more money no matter what scheme they come up with I would imagine after 2030, petrol and diesel will steadily increase in price to the point where only the rich and famous can afford it, so they can drive their supercar collections

However they reclaim their tax, we will not be saving money by driving an EV Why is it illegal to steal? Because the government doesn't like competition :)

One step at a time. People cant keep paying sky high energy prices forever, but they can a higher price to charge an EV. Like i said earlier, if someone was putting £100 worth of petrol in their car each week, then they will soon be paying about the same in electricity to charge their car. The...

218 is the claimed range on mine so I'd guess at 180-190 in warmer weather I live in Lancashire so I have hills and poor weather on most of my journeys

I don't drive my MG4 hard but I've never got more than 150 miles out of a charge. Super charging at £0.80 x 50kwh =£40 and driving my wrx the same way I can get about 120 miles out of £40 so not that much difference.

i disagree. The technology will move on very fast and could easily replace batteries.

as you have seen in the news recently, energy companies have been screwing people on economy 7 meters by increasing the cost of day time energy. They dont give anything for nothing, they want maximum profit for the shareholders and all the billions that were earned by oil sales will be...

Its this line that i dont like. The government never does anything for our convenience, its always for theirs!

I currently do but I'm sure they'll find a way to tax that too. Energy prices are about to go up again and that's a trend that is not going to stop

The oil barons have been buying up energy companies for quite a while because they know their black gold has a time limit. So it very naive to think EV drivers wont be used to claw back their ridiculous profits. If the average person spends £60 a week at the pumps, then they are likely to end...

I wonder how long this will last? Going off their old charging prices (£0.80/kwh ) and the poor range of my MG4, it would have been about the same price as driving my very thirsty WRX, so it had completely put me off ever doing a long journey.
