Will the Iran war push more people towards EVs?

[T1 Terry]

This will be the beginning of the price crash for trading in an ICE powered vehicle and the resale value of an ICE ...... once it starts, there will be no going back.
The whole issue with the poor retention of resale value for an EV will flip the poor investment in buying ICE powered vehicles ...... try not to be too smug when you remind the whiners about the ICE vehicle being worthless now ..... "I told you that was going to happen" never seems to be met with a nod and a smile for some reason

My father had a Goodwood Green Corsair 1500 - not the V4! EKE623C!

I believe the ration coupons were issued but never actually used in anger.

No my father hated the V4 version when it came out. Ours was the in line 4. My childhood mate of the time had the GT version, two doors and a lighter green colour. I remember that used to go quite well, I think it was rated at 78 hp, whereas the deluxe was 60 hp.

My very first car, bought with my own hard saved pennies was a 1966 Hillman Imp, NGH284D. I learned a lot about buying cars from that experience.

Things will blow over and people have short memories.

Though my daughter has just traded up to her first proper car, from the cheapest little run-about that you can afford as a teenager. Now that she is a fully adulty adult.
And with my experience with a ZS EV for the last year, she has just brought an EV Peugeot 208 (or is it a 2008 if it's the EV?)
She commented how glad she was to have gone EV, given the pump prices. (And how cheap an EV is to run anyway. Though charging on my electricity bill possibly makes it even cheaper!)

I was in my thirties before I could afford any sort of car! And I'd been a university lecturer for about three years by then.

My daughter was doing a course which was had a huge placement bias, doing shifts in a rural area. So a car was pretty much required.
The first year's insurance was frightening to the bank of dad!
I always wondered how lads afforded cars when I was a lad. The answer was, it was costing them everything they had.

I had a small motorbike, which I bought when I was a postgraduate student. Before that it was train and bus. And borrow dad's car!

That's what happens when you spend all your money on wine, men and song

Wasn't it George Best who said about his money:
I spent most of it on fast cars, women and drink. the rest I wasted.
