@Nigel_Farage The relatives of flight Pan Am 103 and the people of Lockerbie will long remember the consequences of allowing the USA to use air bases in the UK for an attack against another sovereign nation.
@JordanEVGuy This is literally the argument I make when talking about EVs(I do own one). If you turn the tables and talk about ICE vehicles being the new technology then the reasons to change to ICE feom an EV seems stupid.
@SuzieWo20886208 I had a conversation with some yesterday about private healthcare. I don't think most people understand that the vested interests like the MP for Clacton would push for a US model as that's where the money is to be made.
@JordanEVGuy@McKinsey@Motor_Biscuit Its early days for me for my used Tesla M3, got it a week ago and i don't think ill ever change back. The 500 mpg equivalent running costs is just one factor as I wont change.
Electric vehicles are greener.
The ICCT report states that EVโs are on average 73% greener overall, compared to petrol and diesel.
This includes all stages of a vehicle life cycle.
It can be argued that they are ever greener than this report, given that they use 3.22 miles per kWh as the baseline.
Most EVโs in 2025 achieve at least 4 miles per kWh, including my Tesla Model Y.

@0Calamity Great thread, I've bookmarked ot for reference, I'm probably going to need it! The rich man making the argument now said all of their troubles would be solved by leaving the EU and look how that's turned out.
@wiltsfarmfoods I narrowly avoided being hot by one of your vehicles this morning. Yp20 yhx drove out of an industrial unit at speed without looking down the road. I was on my bicycle at the time. Can you contact me to discuss this further
@jules4u11@GoodwinMJ You may of heard of Dubai? its part of the UAE with 88% of population international migrants, I'm quite sure its a Muslim country.
@AlexEdgerton I've often thought EV trucks would be a good fit for airports. I guess they do little overall mileage and the running do is probably the most inefficient due to the slow speeds.
