The electric vehicle dream has turned into a nightmare
From rocketing electricity prices to absent chargers by way of bridge-rattling weight, the problems are mounting

A mate of mine has had a Nissan Leaf for nearly 2 yrs, Had a ride in it when it was new and have to admit it was a pleasant experience, He reconed on roughly 300 miles to a charge ......... 2yrs later he now says just over 200 miles is a truer figure and he is well pissed off as the Government are going to tax him £160 a year , And he's fuming cos a lot of those "dirty diesels" are staying at £30 a yearI have a feeling that electric cars are about to become the "Betamax". Government subsidy and grant have seriously diminished. Charging points installation are slowing. There is a modern slavery issue regarding child labour, mining cobalt etc. in African states about to errupt. I'm looking forward to those smug bastards in Teslas struggling to get service and parts. (Even though a family member has one)
Actually, it's gone up to £35 a year HT.And he's fuming cos a lot of those "dirty diesels" are staying at £30 a year
Of course we already know all this shit but perhaps the rest of the world is finally waking up to another aspect of EV's that simply isn't good.
Still cost way more than what I would be willing to pay, good for those who want oneThis is more like it.
932 mile range & a charge time of only 10 minutes...
Battery breakthrough ‘offers 1,500 kilometre range from just 10 minutes of charging’
First commercial solid-state battery offers nearly double the range of the long-range version of Tesla’s Model Y.www.independent.co.uk
Even if those claims are wildly exaggerated & the true figures are only a 750 mile range & 30 minutes to recharge the battery. That's still way more practical than what's currently on offer.
This is where the scandinavian goblin and all the unemployed stop oil bastards should be protesting.
I love Geoff's channel, absolutely hooked. He's up to date, passionate and accurate.
