Is there a secret deal?

[czechmate]

Comparing the demise of unleaded with the gleefully anticipated demise of the ICE itself is nonsensical.

Do you mean the demise of leaded?

In the house with a 13amp plug. Charge time being around 15 hours for the E Golf.

Got a couple of charging points installed already .. but they are really just external plugs. Should have a number installed within a few years.

 

[czechmate]

Your not planing on going anywhere then ?

Actually, for our little shopping car, one would be perfect

Yes indeed, slip of the keyboard there.

Removing lead from the fuel simply required manufacturers to use hardened valve seats, a simple enough job during manufacture and none too difficult afterwards. Removing petrol and diesel is something different altogether and the comparison is simply ridiculous.

Nope. Just a different mode of propulsion again

That's what Clive Sinclair thought -

Sinclair Vehicles puts personal, private transport back where it belongs – in the hands of the individual."[5] The photographs accompanying the text showed housewives and teenagers driving the C5 to shops, railway stations, and sports fields – in the words of technology writers Ian Adamson and Richard Kennedy, "a blue-sky suburbia exclusively populated by electric trikes and their drivers"

Sound Familiar?

Again?

It was exactly the same mode of propulsion with or without lead in the fuel.

The c5 was a joke. A bad one at that.
I have friends with these little Zoe’s and they are a normal car with a motor instead of an engine, now you are making ridiculous comparisons

Are you gonna use Solar Panels or some other source of Renewables ? to charge it that is.

I'm not so sure, the mindset was the same, technocrats thinking they have all the answers and everybody loves them.

That has to be the future?

Why?

Put another way then. How long do you think the human race can continue burning oil to propel cars, lorries, vans, tractors...

Forever, just so long as the fuel is recycled carbon rather than fossil derived.

Well at the mo that seems more science fiction than my friends Zoe

That's not the reason I would change to electric.

I'd do it to avoid Climate Taxes and the stupid prices for energy.

Climate Change isn't real .. if it was Monaco wouldn't exist nor would most holidays and any other CO2 expensive activity.

Science fact -

our AIR TO FUELS™ technology can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of transportation by creating clean synthetic fuels – made from air, water and renewable power.

I think those activities you mention have a limited life span too

Planet will be uninhabitable by humans before that
