Change your pension into silver mining companies
70?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! What a joke
70??!!
Nobody wants these electric cars!!!!
So we work longer instead of taxing the rich
Let’s never give the younger generation a chance.
The starting price of these cars are unaffordable for many.
Ill stick with my combustion engine thanks
I can't afford higher pension contributions.
Sky? Click bait titles…naaaaaa. OBVIOUSLY they arent in decline are they….not watching. im sick of skys shows being such light hearted and pointless tosh that doesnt SAY anything meaningful about the climate crisis other than….sky is aware….
The first EV was built in 1846 forty years before the petrol car, the consumer rejected them then when the only option was a horse and carriage and the consumer is still rejecting them today.
Car are to expensive end off.
Most people can't afford one in the first place. And don't get me started on range and charging network.
Govs around the world say ‘we must transition to sustainable energy and green vehicles’ to save the planet yet they can provide one with charging tariffs at home for £0.15/Kw and ripp us off at £0.65/Kw at on street charging networks, majority of the population does not have driveways like myself to benefit from cheaper tariffs, Govs strategy is one to shoot itself in the foot, ofcourse the sales will be down the model is flawed and about profiteering. Good luck
EV and ICE price parity wont happen by mid decade? We must wait and see.
Lithium comes from strip mining only. That takes a lot of diesel and alot of processing and associated transport. Do some math please.
The JCB hydrogen engine is the way.
Electric cars are NOT the future.
Why is UK government incentivising a shift to EVs by 2030? Is electricity produced in the UK entirely clean? What is the mix of coal, gas, nuclear & renewable in electrical bundle? If the bulk of the power comes from fuels having a large carbon footprint, then changeover to EV doesn’t make sense. Further,problems associated with disposal of humongous quantities of batteries and solar panels (Chinese) at the end of their life is yet to be solved. Kicking the can down the road is not a solution.
😂😂 No one I know got the alert. I want a list of those that got and those that didn't. Was it only those of 'value' to the world like the middle class, professionals and friends and family of Mp's. No one like me got the alert at all. Talk about bull crap.
buying electric car is just like buying an iphone!
Majority of the people do not expect to live love life long enough to retire
