Your own fault for buying one.š

Evās mandates are a farce. Outside of specific use cases, they are too expensive, too heavy and just too boring for most consumers to even consider. Plus, for all the people who whine and whinge about human rights all the time, they are genuinely awful products to be purchasing as the lithium/cobalt mines in Africa are being worked by children in abhorrent conditions.
-
What ones have you owned to say are boring ?
-
You get it! Electric vehicles need to take the L and move on.
-
ā@@AdrianMcDaidyou’re so dense you don’t see the massive impact electric vehicles have on the environment. But hey I bet you completely back the cobalt and lithium mining done by children.
-
i think theyre brilliantly quick, drove mine to paris and back one charge enroute, ionity in france 6 per station and empty, UK is terrible.

That was generators behind those white and green ones

Yes solar farm or wind farm generation.

The whole idea of electric vehicles is a farce because the grid simply does not have the capacity. I live on a close with 30 houses. Show me the plan to dig up the roads to stick in the cable that could manage that load.
-
you do realise you dont need more cables to use your domestic supply. lol
-
You plug it into your house…….

@@RAH012 What’s the capacity of a car battery?

@@KarldorisLambley You do realise that i would need a bigger one if I was trying to charge the car at a rate that makes it feasible? You do realise that that there are 30 houses on my close and the if only 20 percent of us choose to do go down the electric route, the cable that feeds our close is even bigger?

It’s almost like electric cars aren’t worth it… but hey keep lithium and cobalt mining as if anything will change.
-
Cobalt is in every lithium battery. Phones, tablets, computersā¦
I wonder how much cobalt (3% weight in ev cars battery) is, world wide, in comparison to all the other devices with them. Bet you donāt complain about cobalt in your phone?! -
You do realise cobalt is not used in any current LFP battery right?
-
-
don’t worry companies will realise how pointless electric cars are and stop making them
-
That’s exactly why Toyota isn’t interested in them. They’re a clever company. They built only one ev, and it’s crap
-
@@labourlawact7826sounds cleverā¦ build a car thatās crap.
-
@@davidjohansson2867 They built only the one ev. A BZR4 Whatever, and said it’s crap themselves. To prove a pointš¤
-
@@labourlawact7826 If Toyoto are so clever, why are they still pursuing hydrogen as a fuel storage system for cars when it’s completely unworkable and energy inefficient? I think they have bet on the wrong horse.
-
@@Alex-ni2ir I think they’re just pretending to invest in alternative energy vehicles to pacify the greenies, but they know the ice engine is far away from being replaced.

Look at the size of those big diesel jennies powering the chargers.
-
this isn’t the future we chose, this is the bleak future we’re forced into.
it was originally planned that all new sales of non evs will be banned by 2030, the entire world would only have 6 YEARS for charging infrastructure to catch up. but they have extended it back to 2035, just 3 days ago.
11 years is better, but I don’t think every singular country would be ready for such a drastic change, especially developing countries
-
This reflects more the inability of our government to keep up and the red tape that wraps up connecting new energy generation to the national grid. If you’re a country like China that has the political will and decisiveness to build what is required, then you’re completely fine. But unfortunately Britain is completely broken.

I live in Norway, and over 90% of new cars is EV. Owning 2 myself and LOVE itšš» I would not have it offcourse if it was like thisš²
-
Norway is a tiny country with lots of money with very few people. The reality is that it’s a lot more difficult to adopt EVs in many other countries because of expense and bad infrastructure.

Thereās a McDonalds just off the M1 nearby with fast chargers that I used recently ; by the time Iād collected my coffee I had enough charge to get home
-
This doesnāt make news though only bad experiences are highlighted. Unfortunately we still have to breath everyoneās elseās fumes while in the queue!

Energy from diesel generatorš
-
The Gridserve app would tell you this isnāt working before you arrivedā¦just buy a Tesla you wonāt have these problems!
-
There are many countries with advanced charging stations, but the UK is still weak and lagging behind
-
As much as i hate ev vehicles, hydrogen ev cars make far more sense than battery ones.
-
Sad we live in a country these days where things get enforced without considering impact and alternatives first. Already tidal, geothermal and reservoir turbine generators all available and reliable yet we stick to and keep investing in unreliable unpredictable weather systems. When considering alternative fuels we can consider anything from synthetic or hydrogen to nuclear again not at the right production rates but not getting the support needed. So many options so narrow minded (fruit powered clocks? š )
-
It’s going to get worse when we get a govt that goes loopy on Net Zero or thinks/ claims we can get by just on wind or solar. The grid needs higher resistance cables and substations require higher resistance transformers. And more electricity needed/ demanded = more electricity you need to be generated!
-
But there’s diesel generators behind the new chargers… that’s not infrastructure, that’s an embarrassment
