In reality it won’t happen, just recall the mass panic of the electorate and in some cases ugly scenes with the petrol/diesel shortage a few months back (and this was just a few weeks…) The vast majority of people will not except a reversal in personal mobility.
So unless in the next few years there’s quick and convenient charging of battery vehicles available and indeed affordable battery vehicles for the masses and not just a few middle class tossers in London, there will be some big U turns.
Ironically their idea of an ‘affordable’ car will probably be similar to the idea that created the Trabant and VW Beetle.
This agenda has no place for the affordable long distance family Grand Touring car ethos.
Which still leaves the issue of running it at 26p per kwh + the equivalent of road fuel duty and 20% VAT.
People are gradually but too slowly waking up to what these zealots have planned not only in terms of their private transport expectations but also domestic energy supplies.
Effectively they are saying you will change from a less than 5p per kwh domestic heating and cooking regime to electric at 26p per kwh and only going North from that when Al Gore etc have created their monopoly and captive market.
In addition to trading dependence on fossil fuel to dependence on Lithium and Uranium also at the risk of turning the place into another Chernobyl for the privilege.
They have to be stopped first before we’ll get any U turn on this dangerous, anything but green, unaffordable scam.
