Laverda Dave:
The USA is now experiencing national grid problems with demand outstripping supply. The generating companies are saying it is caused by the increasing amount of domestic heat pumps and the increasing number of electric vehicles requiring regular charging! When all our politicians decreed the world go all electric where did they think the increased energy requirements was going to come from!
It's alright for the climate activists to say wind and solar but you can't produce solar power when the sun doesn't shine (common in England especially in autumn, winter and spring, and turbines only work when the wind blows! Solar panels only last 20 years and have high replacement costs. As for building vast wind farms out at sea, they are built by American companies because they receive massive subsidies from the UK government to build them, another type of lend/lease where the tax payer is ripped off. Off shore wind farms are also a big danger to sea birds with a massive increase in death rates.

SumpMagnet:
Easy mistake to make there Dave...but you used the word 'politician' and the word 'think' in the same sentance.

The only consideration most of our politic overlords have around electric vehicles is where they invested their pension fund, who knows how little tax they paid, and how many kickbacks are they getting to promote these things.

If they keep pushing me, I'm gonna buy a KH750, paint it flourescent green, and ride it round Westrminster until the plugs foul. Every day. With expansion pipes on. Dripping unburnt hydrocarbons and leaving clouds of blue smoke.

Good, you can take over from me if you like. I'm a regular around Parliament square, that top hatted twit Steve Bray knows and hates me!  ;D
