Electric Cars [5]

Posted on by


I saw an online story about “what if the Government are shafting the public with electric cars just like they did with diesel?”*

Set me thinking: what exactly is the point of electric cars from a pragmatic viewpoint? And: do (better off) people buy them just to virtue signal?

If you have to use a car in a ULEZ zone maybe they have a point (as long as you can find somewhere to charge it) but otherwise?

Checklist:

Save the planet? No (stopping UK pollution won’t make an iota of difference).

Save money? No (a new one will cost more than double a conventional car equivalent and cheap running costs are at the whim of Government).

More convenient? No (are you having a laugh?!).

Elegant engineering solution to a nebulous problem? (Oh please – since when was dragging 750Kgs of expensive dead weight, and rare earth minerals mined by child labour, a good idea?!)

Warm glow from being seen to be “doing my bit to help the Greens”? YES, that’s it (you are a CUNT with too much money!)

  1. If electric cars were worthwhile, Edison or Tesla would’ve invented one. Elon Musk is just PT Barnum for Twitter cunts.

    If the govt want people to adopt these machines then they’ll need proper infrastructure. Where will the money come from now Sunak has spunked it all on bail-outs?

    • Only government could fuck something up this horribly.
      Let’s take what is cheap, reliable, and available, and replace it with the opposite.
      A mountain of bullshit!

      I love the smell of GAS!

      Many of these electrics simulate an engine sound in the audio system.

      Fuck right off with that.

  2. Electric cars are the biggest pile of cunt ever invented.

    You can only drive 14 miles in one before pulling over and having to charge your car for 36 hours before driving the next 14. That’s if you can find a charging space on the roadside. And if you find one it will already have been claimed by some cunt with a disabled badge claiming priority. The cars have all the charisma of a milk float.

    And yet petrol engines are going to be phased out for these monstrosities, despite the fact the infrastructure won’t be in place by then and the technology will be as crappy as it is now. It’s all like a Greta Thundercunt wet dream.

    The government will have to prise my petrol engined cars out of my cold dead hands.

    Cunts.

  3. Electric cars are not the way forward. I travel a lot between Norwich and Sheffield as my dads got cancer. If i had an electric car I’d have to go into a hotel overnight to charge an electric car for a journey my 54 plate Ford Fiesta Zetec can do I 3 or so hours. Not really the way forward when your travel time is nearly a day, and the car you have lasts half as long as a petrol one and costs twice as much as a new version.

  4. If only some cunt in Parliament would sum it sup so succinctly.

    Electric cars are not the solution but they already know that, that’s why future city developments increasingly have no parking spaces, but with the usual amount of joined up thinking they build new out of town developments with no public transport and no amenities you can reach without a car.

    The fail to invest in existing infrastructure and when they invest in new infrastructure they build useless piles of cunt.

    Look out for new pedestrian walkways between railway tracks and beside motorways, the ones without hard shoulders of course.

    • The only infrastructure I would build now would be public gallows to hang all the cunts that are seeking to foist this nonsense on a long suffering public.

  5. If you play along with Our Masters they might let you have one.
    Everyone else will have a donkey and be happy.

    Welcome to communism.

    Just who are these cunts to dictate what people fucking drive?

    A sham.

    Oven,full fucking oven.

  6. Hmm – the life of an electric car:
    Use third world child labour (average lifespan 20-25 years before succumbing to the toxins they are digging out with their bare hands) to mine the rare earth materials needed in the batteries, transport to processing site, transport across oceans to secondary reprocessing sites, then onto the manufacturers located around the world – as the taliban rub their hands at the Trillion Dollar deal they have just done with the Kung Flu types for the cobalt and lithium in Afghanistan.
    Wait approximately 7 years at which point the batteries are exhausted and replacements are more than the value of the car – my elderly (but tuned and frighteningly potent) 190,000 mile BMW diesel estate still runs like brand new and shows no signs of expiring – at nearly two decades old it is still perfect – so dump the dead cars in fields as there is no way of recycling the batteries.
    So, thirty grand a time for a mobile hairdryer that lasts just a bit longer than the finance repayments.
    Who thought this was a good idea again?
    Oh yes – NOBODY! – except for an insane Swedish tramp, the pussy whipped prick currently infesting 10 Downing Street and Princess nut nuts the eco witch.
    Fucking the entire Country for a blowjob – well done Boris!

    • Same as my old Fiesta, it’s done 135,000 and is fine, barely had anything done to it since I’ve had it in the last 7 years. Worth every penny I paid. You’ll never get that reliability from an electric car

      • My Ford Transit Connect has just done 515,000. I’ve had it from new and done all bar 212 of those miles since I got it in May 2015. Yes you read that right, I do about 80,000 miles per year.

        I get a brand new one in April, despite ordering the fucker in August last year. Some gormless cunt asked me if I had considered getting a hybrid or electric.

        How I fucking laughed….

  7. Electric cars were invented in 1884. There is a reason they didnt get anywhere. “Green’ energy isnt green, doesnt work and is ruinously expensive. Thats why we have oil, which is a 100% green, natural product that produces plant food when burnt.

  8. The left types come out with ‘we need to get cars off the road’, yes the real reason for Electric cars is to make owning a car a luxury.
    The argument that as they become the norm the price will come down, I don’t think so because 1. There will be world wide completion for battery chemicals and 2. When petrols sales fall and the revenues from road tax the government will have to load more tax on Electric vehicles. 3. Unless you can charge you mobile Duracell at home the cost to charge at a public charging station will be taxed for using ‘peak leccy’

    This is the biggest con in the name of going green, fucking pointless.

  9. If I had lots of money to buy expensive toys I might have one to cruise around my vast sprawling estate. It would be all terrain too. Other than that I want to burn dinosaur juice.
    Batteries are for moon vehicles and warehouse lift trucks.

    • I think you’ll find MC, that most stacker trucks run around with a big bottle of propane on the back. Says it all really.

  10. Boris and his dopy twat wife can fuck off with their green bollocks. The cunty mobile has been waxoyled every two years so hopefully it should last me out. It’s on 71,000 miles nowIf you live in a terraced house how are you going to run the charging cable so no twat trips over it?
    What happens when the do as you likes realise there’s money in them thar cables?

  11. Once Nicola Sturgeon has been chained up in an asylum, It might be nice to visit the Highlands again. But if half your holiday is spent charging the fucking car up to get there and back, what’s the point?
    That’s even if you can find a charging point in the remote areas of the Highlands. It’s the fact there’s nothing there but scenery which makes it so appealing. The same with the Lake District.

  12. Thanks to the embedded and 5G connected computers the buggers will come with out of the box, governments love the old electric cars.

    Easier to track: they know where you are at all times…just think (asides from being a wet dream of our nuStazi) congestion charges on steroids, variable priced per mile depending where that mile was, and what time you travelled it, now with added ‘surge’ pricing when they feel like it.

    Speaking of the nuStazi,

    Remote Killswitch: Problematic to retrofit a standard one reliably to existing vehicles in a manner where it can’t be bypassed, a piss easy bit of code to implement on electric ones. The justification will be, of course, public safety..and to end high speed chases and disable stolen vehicles…of course, they’d never use it to disable the vehicles of whatever flavour of dissident whatever flavour the regime that’s in power finds ‘irksome’ in the event of ‘unrest’ that month…never crossed their minds…

    Add to that nightmare remote state access to all cameras in the vehicle and the audio stream from any ‘hands free’ or Alexa type device…

    As for the economics…I give you this example

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-60356432

    Fucking madness

    • A nightmare, Comrade.

      So they will be able to monitor your driving from inside the car? One mile over the speed limit and, hey presto, a speeding ticket in your email inbox.

      Governments are determined to suck both the utility and joy out of driving. Such mass convenience, mobility and joy can no longer be tolerated.

    • Interesting link. I’ve been thinking for a while that a diesel generator, running off my heating oil tank, replacing my grid connection might be a good idea. I’m not sure it’s quite economic yet but, when grid costs rise exponentially this year, it probably will be if these costs don’t come down again. Probably don’t want to leave it too late before they all sell out😁

      • I can’t get gas, water or sewage where I live just electricity and p1ss poor internet. If I can the electricity as well that just leaves the internet really. Oil heating is good but the price has gone silly recently. It used to average about 40p/litre but it’s touching 70p/litre right now. No joke when you burn 2,500 every year!

  13. It takes half million gallons of water to mine just 1 tonne of lithium. Tell me Greta and Elon, how can that possibly be a good outcome for the planet?

    Cunts.

  14. The only time in humankind where they are desperate to push us back into the stone age.
    Not THEM of course, just us.
    This policy will be abandoned the minute they realise it will get them thrown out of politics.

  15. I have a beast of an AC Cobra, it’s sound is enough to make the hairs on your neck stand up.
    Some cunt has developed an electric version, what’s the fucking point of that? It seems that quite a few iconic super cars are being made electric, totally pointless.

  16. Electric cars. Utterly pointless. Most contributors have written was I going to add to the topic.

    I was reading at lunchtime that local authorities around the country are drawing up plans to charge private companies who have car parking places at their places of work. To save the environment by getting cars of the road…..

    So you drive to your place of work?…. then pay up to a tenner a day for the privellage of parking your car in your employers car park.

    These fucking councils and their lefty woke mentalists that dream this shit up need shooting. But hey it’s easy to spend others money.

    Once again the public sector cunts extorting more cash from the private sector as if taxation isn’t bad enough already.

    But hey, we can all use public transport cos that works. Just like last Friday, when the fuckers near me declared an emergency and stopped the one bus a day from running.

    • Mnc@ – I saw a test of electric vans (think it was 5th gear) – they were utterly useless, gutless, dog slow, terrible range and couldn’t pull their way out of a wet paper bag – just not fit for purpose.

      • Evening Foxy,
        It doesn’t surprise me.
        Even if they did 12, 000mp Duracell I still wouldn’t want one.
        Truly gay aren’t they?

        In other news,
        The bleeding berk working with me today whilst acting as banksman,
        Backed me into a tree branch that punched through the side of my van.
        The gormless fuckin cunt.😡

  19. A fast Tesla is extraordinarily quick though. One of my engineering clients has one. I raced him last summer in rural Oxfordshire on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 with mild tuning mods and, bearing in mind the bike does 190mph, I was having to redline it in 2nd and 3rd, and only when I got to 4th at over 120 did I get past the fucker!
    An antidote for silent electric gayness is my ’64 Galaxie pulling away from work (apologies for being obnoxious as I have posted this link once before:
    https://youtu.be/R0LzBcPGutk)

    • A mate of mine has a fast Tesla, he told me that some cunt was giving him shit about it being a ‘milk float’, so he took him for a spin – reckons that, by the smell, a little bit of shit must’ve leaked out when he floored it…
      Take the piss at your peril.

    • Bikes always lose in the long run I raced many of Ferraris on mine. On a straight you lose eventually. They why they have a horse on the bonnet or ‘hood’ for Americans.

  20. Throw away shit cars
    Electric range nowhere near advertised bit like the three cylinder petrol cars mpg use it normally discover the truth
    Lots being put on mutability to folks hoping the council give them free charging points
    Company car drivers pay less tax but can’t do any distance in the things
    Wait till they are out of warranty beyond economic repairs abandoned in car auctions compounds and worthless
    Mobile home appliance for new modern people
    Drive it in ceo mode with no heater or air on as you watch the range fall
    I’ll have a straight six all day long

  21. The cunts in Government can get fucked with their insane obsession with outlawing vehicles with internal combustion engines.

    Electric vehicles have their place such as public transport in cities and town centers but not as transportation for the masses.

    This cunt won’t be buying an electric car as long as there’s breath in my body and so long as there’s bikes & cars with internal combustion engines to enjoy I’ll be filling my boots.

    • It’s not really got anything to do with Government. It’s everything to do with private companies sticking their oar in government. The difference between the separation of state and private enterprise is always been there. It’s just more vivid now. The problem is that all these companies have massive amounts of investment in foreign projects. It’s wrong wrong and wrong. If someone comes to your doorstep and you buy it more fool you. If you want to buy it, you’ll search for it.

  23. I got a hybrid as a company car, mainly because the tax means it is a no brainier. If I had to buy it myself, I wouldn’t have bothered.
    Lots of fun plugging it in and out all the time. Not.
    I agree with all of the contributors r.e. Green bollocks. And as someone said , if you rely on public transport you can add another day to your trip, and that’s if they can be arsed to run in case there is a light breeze nearby.

    • Just got a hybrid myself, rather fun to drive especially when the rev counter drops to zero but your still cruising along. No charging of course as the mega heavy battery is charged by the petrol engine and regenerative breaking. Funny when you open the bonnet and see the traction motor attached to the side of the petrol engine, fuck me big lump of metal. The particular model I have has three driving modes the top range model has more plus self adjusting suspension for the different modes. All in all it’s more reliable than my much missed Subaru B9 Tribeca as I will not have to have an exhaust system made as Subaru only had my exhaust in stock in Japan at a total cost of almost the value of the car! What convinced me to go semi green was a three week wait and £598.00 for a new radiator and labour! Proud to be semi saving the climate, bollocks

  24. If they want every cunt to have a electric car, they better get building the nuclear power stations then – what do you think about that, Greta?? Silly bitch!
    Fucking renewables, don’t make me laugh!

    • It’s not just the power stations, they’ll have to rewire large areas of the country. Most of the cabling in place was specced to drive households drawing whatever they figured out a maximum power usage was back whenever the cables were laid.

      To use my little bit of fucking paradise as an example.

      The supply to my house was put in sometime early-mid 50’s, we’ve already had one underground electrical junction explode under overload during a cold spell (added fun, they hadn’t a clue where the cables ran – no plans – cue several bods with CATs and Gennys wandering about like lost souls for a couple of hours pencilling things on maps – they eventually found it at the bottom of a neighbour’s garden about 4ft down).

      From what I can gather, a domestic car charging point will draw something like 30 amps. My dickhead of a neighbour on one side, if they went all electric, they’d require an extra 120 amps to service their fleet, a neighbour t’other side: 90 amps, the whole street, if it went electric car daft, could, if they all plugged their cars in at the same time, theoretically draw an extra 810 amps.

      I should point out, the fuse on our supply is rated at 60 amps, the whole street can theoretically draw 960 amps max as-is, and the underground cabling has already failed once at a point below this.

      Then there are the substations to consider, we’ve two of the buggers driving our little neck of the woods, and the suspicion is that a recent housing development is stressing one of them – the houses hanging off that have been experiencing brown-outs since the new builds started being occupied and the load went up.

      Of course, these new builds have no gas heating, virtue signalling toadying by the developer and housing association to pre-empt the current regime’s diktat on this matter, so their electrical useage is a wee bit higher than the other properties already, and if they had to fit electric car charging points…that’s potentially another 1200 amps extra draw.

      Now, the cabling laid to these new properties was ultimately chosen by bean counters on the basis of ‘here’s a bunch of houses drawing an average X power from the grid as per the official published table, so, what’s the minimum diameter/capacity cable we can get away with safely using to wire the buggers up at least cost?’

      Not one of the software packages they use factors in things like car charging points…there’s a mandated overload safety factor they have to legally take into account, but as there are no mandated future power usage increase factors….even this cabling, laid just over two years ago, isn’t up to the load increase that would be created by car charging points.

      Power stations are the easy bit, the grid?, it should cope, the fun really starts at the distribution substation level and beyond.

      • A couple of years ago, our main fuse at the meter was upgraded from 60A to 80A. I asked why it wasn’t 190A, as in my last house, and was told that unless I had had a rewire in the last 20 years they couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be a potential overload.

  25. I have a dream.

    Pavements impassable from cables.
    Cars stopped over all roads. Flat battery innit.
    Bankrupt motorists saying ‘how much is a new battery?’
    No power cos the wind aint blowing.
    Grunter Thunderthighs creaming her kecks.

  26. I do like Scalextric, fun with the bairns.
    If they wired up massive electrical plates in the middle of all the roads and let us go at 250mph then I’d be game.
    But as it stands they’d better come tooled up if they want to try taking my trusty v6 off me .

  27. Just a thought; Won’t the technology behind these expensive toys currently on sale (eg BMW iX , Audi e-tron, Porsche Gaycan be outdated in 5-10 years time. The good old ICE has stood the test of time for going on 150 years. Fuck Boris. Fuck his goofy tart ;the only thing “green” about her is her vaginal discharge.
    People think I’m mad because I’ve ordered a new 6cylinder diesel (£10 k cheaper than a 2nd hand one!) Maybe I am but I’ll more than likely have kicked the bucket by 2030 and I’ll have at least enjoyed expelling my fumes in the faces of those humourless woke cunts.

  28. ‘Electrickery’ Catweazle called it. And he was right. Moden day witchcraft it is. Let’s go back to the horse and cart.

  29. Electric cars may or may not be as safe as real cars, but the lithium batteries if breached can cause catastrophic conflagrations. Alliteration apart, the public perception pertaining to milk float technology based vehicles might change when a few families have to be retrieved from vehicle fires with a dustpan and brush. Funerals will be a lot cheaper mind you, and I’ve always found open coffins disturbingly pagan and creepy. He’s fucking dead, why would anyone want to look at the desecrated corpse? But embalming is a whole new cunting in itself.

  30. Fuck electric cars! They cost more, they weigh more, there is currently the fear of ‘range anxiety,’ & if the battery configuration ‘turns critical’’ it may take up to 40 times more water to bring the fire under control than a conventional petrol vehicle.
