I plan on getting rid of the car soon and not a second too soon…It’s getting silly now.
For example nothing is being done about the stupid amount of Internet deliveries causing unnecessary pollution.
Also who does the Ulez Affect? Basically anyone who has an old car so poor people… Or people who can’t afford to buy a new car every 3 years.
I realise we signed up to some silly global imitative to cut our co2 footprint but other countries are not doing the same.
If I’m a shoe maker in Camden for example deliveries may cost me an extra 10k a year so how can I compete with the already low prices of a shoe maker in shenzhen China who doesn’t have to deal with all this nonsense.We will just end up pricing ourselves out of the market.
I know we need to cut co2 but we also need to be globally competitive.As for making more fast charging stations… Please don’t.
People in London just see this as free parking.
Even then how do you deal with car firms that refuse to agree on a universal system for charging their vehicles?
You can not charge a Nissan leaf or Toyota prius for example with a tesla charging station…How can the council even think to splash money on these if they are not universal…
Also everytime I see these things there is only like one or two at the most. How is that going to help at all…
I agree, it makes you wonder how soon will the tipping point be before your trade in car becomes worthless for a trade in value! who’s going to want a perfectly good older diesel car! in the not too distant future, apart from the scrap man, the government will have to come up with a “clunker bill” or the like for your old car.
VW has gone “All-In” on electric cars and announced yesterday that a small cheap family BEV car is not possible for the foreseeable future from them because battery prices are still too high, it’ll mean only the affluent will be able to afford them.
