Same with EVs

Not everyone can get their flats installed with EV chargers for everyone

Lmao

You need to have your own garage with a charger to charge overnight

@Hiddenhope A Neo Con Grifter?

Unless EVs have the same range as petrol cars

They will be mostly bought by folks with money

And when charging EVs can be done in less than 10 minutes

Sales start to pick up

But we aren't there yet

It's decades away

Hopefully Boris won't fail on immigration too.

He'll fail on everything

I didn't join the boris dick-sucking club at the election like so many here

Said i'd give him the benefit of the doubt

It took him 8 weeks to flunk out

He's got an uphill battle to win back my trust

I don't see it happening

He needs to get rid of Micheal Gove.

MIchael Gove is ok, just not where he is

He's an absolute fucking boomer

Put him in some fossil job where he can't harm anything

Give him Rees-Mogg's job

So I was reading a BBC article, whereby it basically said the price of electric cars will be similar to petrol by 2025, however, we will need literally like 25 million more charging points than we have now

Which is mental

Bullshit

Written by someone who was scientifically illiterate

Battery tech used is 30 years old, there isn't going to be an order-of-magnitude drop in the cost of the batteries

And the tiny amount of development headroom they have for improving them, will be in charging, will involve IP and novel materials and therefore will serve to keep the price up, not down

I've said for ages that the people the BBC and other journals get for science reports have absolutely fucking no knowledge of science

(Completely ignoring that ramping up the extraction needed for the metals for these cars is going to fuck over the environment)

Have you looked into hydrogen cars?

Briefly, they would seem a sensible alternative to electric, and hydrogen could be generated by excess electricity generation, but the same infrastructure/distribution and baseline car costs remain

Also, it's fucking dangerous

I see

Driving a hydrogen car means you're essentially driving around strapped to a bomb

Why not just improve on filtration systems and develop on stuff like biodiesel? Would seem like a more practical alternative instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with electric cars and the massive infrastructure investment they would require...

Biodiesel is terrible

Biodiesel is both bad for the environment, and bad for diesel engines

What about carbon capture exhausts?
