We just have the one car now and sticking with it as the price of second hand cars has become ridiculous thanks to all this Net zero crap buggering up the markets…I think a lot of people don’t realise what’s coming down the road from these loons in charge of nearly ALL political party’s with their missionary style virtue signalling but this lot are gonna put it on turbo boost and we’ll pay the price.

like all things brainwashing has the opposite effect on me and i,d swerve an electric car even if i wanted one now. a big problem will come up in years to come seeing how much power our governments have if they try to control spare parts manufacturers including those in china to allow us to carry on driving our diesel cars. thats after the hike in fuel, tax and insurance they bring in. they cannot win on the climate change part and now losing on the clean air debate when the air has never been cleaner for years. what will be the next argument they,ll bring up for a change. certainly not kids mining rare metals thats never spoken about.

Just seen on ITV news that the demand for diesel cars in the UK is currently outstripping that for EV's. Perhaps the British public aren't as gullible as the Govt (past or present) would prefer to believe?

be interesting if the manufacturers joined the public and stopped making them. what would the government do then. normally in business if something is selling badly you stop making or selling it.

Isn’t there a stipulation numbering the production oil/diesel vehicles in relation to electric vehicle production.
The market (the customer) normally decides but arm twisting by the politicians is skewing the matket.

in my world that means forcing people against their will to buy something they do not want. as well as electric cars we have smart meters and heat pumps to bother about and swerve no matter how we are being bribed. what next, certain foods taken off the shelves people want but the government do not.

The U.K. are obsessed about Green Energy, if Trump gets back he says America will drill, drill, drill. All the companies do is close up shop in the U.K. and move to another one who don’t give a s*** about going green and probably at a lower cost. We don’t have a steel industry where does the U.K. import the steel from, do the U.K. stipulate the steel which is imported is manufactured using green energy, I doubt it.

We are a two person household yet my wife brings home five or six bags of shopping each week. Public transport would never replace a car for us.

years ago people did not shop once a week at a supermarket but daily at shops nearer to them. even just going down town in the 50,s was less of a treck for some as it is now with more living in and closer to the town. more or less it was a 15 minute city with freedom.
