Some hope opposing the electric nightmare?

Watch this from 5 minutes in. If it's true it'll pi$$ off a lot of EV owners...

Saw that the other day, I know he is a marmite person but he does hit the nail on the head, he has been mentioning this for some time.

Do the owners of such vehicles not feel like each trip is now dicing with death more so than usual?

Sad news from Volvo, just produced their last diesel car engine. It's all owned by the chinks anyway, so it will all get moved to the land of rice and slavery.

I sold my electric car and went back to a diesel - I'd had enough

Drivers are finding there are plenty of reasons for stalling on electric cars, from broken chargers and rising insurance costs to battery degradation and reduced range in cold weather

Tesla lays off more than 10% of its workforce

Owner Elon Musk said it was a difficult decision to reduce Tesla's global headcount.

Follow the money. The whole thing is a scam. We reduce our fossil fuel use and get forced to buy electric cars, so China builds even more coal fired power stations, to make the horrible electric cars imported by the thousand. China forces child slave labour to mine rare minerals to make the batteries, made in factories using slave labour.

What about all the "Modern Slavery" clauses I read on contracts to buy? Anybody checking these? Nope.

It wasn't a difficult decision when he bought Twitter ... he sacked most of the woke bastids

So we the great unwashed have said "we don't want them" yet governments with their agendas press on regardless

Can't understand why some good person hasn't had a pop at him with a breech loader.

I think it's safe to say that anyone who purchased an EV believing it would be cheap to run, was royally shafted.
The cost to charge them anywhere other than at home is astronomical.
They'll be paying full price road tax from next year.
Their insurance premiums are way higher than for the equivalent ICE vehicles
Driving one into London will soon cost them the same as a ICE vehicle.
Plus the fact they cost a fortune to purchase in the first instance. And they retain residual values similar to that of used toilet paper!

All that seems like a hefty price to pay for a bit of pointless virtue signalling
