EVs Electric Cars (6)

Posted on by

The electric revolution is not working is it? I am having another go at EVs because they are a massive fraud.

Vauxhall closing its Luton factory because they aren’t selling enough electric vans. Companies prefer diesels, cheaper and greater range.

Nissan and Ford complaining bitterly that they can’t make the mandate work. 22% of sales must be electric and this will rise steeply until it becomes 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. That’s if this mad bad Labour government doesn’t bring the target forward again. Likely unless Mad Ed Milliband returns to his home planet, many light years away.

I was listening to a radio debate on this subject and it soon became obvious that the Pro-EV lobby consists of the smug middle-classes who can afford to install home chargers in their double garages and gravel drives and either don’t need to do long distances or can afford to take extended coffee breaks en route. And of course they can spend £50K on their Tesla or whatever to start with.

The fact is that EV sales are dropping like a stone. People don’t want them. At the same time dealers can’t release new ICE cars on their forecourt that people WANT to buy because of the stupid mandate. This is suppression of capitalism in a so-called democratic country. Or at least we WERE one until this Labour lot got in.

Even if everyone agreed that electric was the future it wouldn’t work. Imagine if countless millions of these dratted EVs were plugged in to recharge. The national grid couldn’t cope with the demand especially if fed by wind farms and solar parks. The whole scheme is ridiculous.

Then consider the cost to the planet of these “environmentally friendly” transport devices. The deforestation and habitat destruction from the mining of cobalt and lithium, the child-slave implications, the growing dominance of China in Africa and just about everywhere else. The cheaper EV cars are made in China, subsidised by that state.

What about the safety implications? The Fire Brigades are already warning that battery fires are almost impossible to put out and cause massive explosions due to thermal runaway. And EV collisions do much more damage due to the sheer weight of these monsters. Is this why they are so expensive to insure? The pothole problem is made considerably worse by heavy EVs.

Working class folk who live in flats or terraced houses and don’t have big salaries will miss out on the grand EV revolution. Am I cynical in suggesting perhaps they are meant to? Isn’t this a rather clever socially engineered way of getting millions of cars off the road? After all, this metropolitan government don’t care about anything or anyone outside their own circle. We can all use buses (they’ve just increased the subsidies as well as the fares) or bikes. They hate farmers and rural life. People will be stuck in tiny communities just like the 19th century. After all it would be so much better for the environment.

The EV revolution is actually designed to turn back the clock to a time when only the rich and ruling classes can afford their own transport. My guess is that they will try to price our ICE cars off the road with higher fuel duty and road tax. Not this year but probably starting next budget. They were too scared to take on motorists as well as pensioners, farmers and business. But it’s coming soon. Two tier two Kier Britain strikes again.

    • Hiya Colombo.
      I think you may be right.

      Everyone reappears on here.

      Ruff Tuff is on here.
      Vernon.
      wish Bertie Blunt and Fiddler would reappear.

      • Oh, one more question sir.

        Does my dirty raincoat pass inspection?

        I’ve a hunch that RTC is happy to watch proceedings from the side lines.

        Sadly I’m of the opinion that due to the majority of posters being more senior, some have probably shuffled off this mortal coil.

        Some music to cheer up proceedings

  2. The best E.V. I have come across is an electric motocross bike. Instant power delivery & very light, because the battery’s weight effectively replaces the engine. An interesting ride, but let down by the sound, which does not replace the original, & that good old 2 stroke smell is not there either.

  4. Cars are a small concern. Has anybody seen a ‘leccy combine or tractor or heavy goods? No? So how do we plant stuff, how do we crop it and how do we get it to the folk who eat it. Petrol/diesel is how.
    In Scotland the last oil refinery has closed (Grangemouth) so all liquid fuel for heating, moving stuff, on land or sea (ferries), planting and getting the crops in has to be imported from across the border.
    How the blue fart blazes does Millipod think the UK is going to manage when we have to go cap in hand to the rest of the world.
    Think I am going to start stocking up on rubber boats and outboards to supply the new emigration demand from folk wanting to leave.
    Note to self wonder how far a battery Makita drill with a propeller would get you.
    I note that MSM never makes much noise about exploding EVs or fire ball scooter chargers, fuck me there is a product re-call if a tumble drier gets hot.. Oh and the delightful header fails to show the copious quantities of acrid smoke that would have Greta wetting her pants. Thinks she gone dreadfully quiet of late
    Suck, squish, bang, puff,
    Evenin’ all

      • Greta served her purpose and is quietly being disposed of by the fear factory WEC, environmentally of course and all in the best possible taste.
        The WEC by the way is the acronym for World Economic Cunts
        They only like children so Greta is now too old and used up.
        I think she was even too old for Epstein Island.

    • Don’t worry .

      All the farms will be owned by Bill Gates by then now that Keir has made it very expensive to hand down the family business

  7. I love the way these tossers pose thinking they look “cool” but have most folk thinking “couple of pricks”.
    As I have said before the people smugglers are the small beer, the big money is the legitimate stuff being made by those providing the accommodation, out of my fucking pocket.
    Politicians, doing what they do best :- spending other peoples’ money.

      I’d rather walk than get behind the wheel of that bag o shite.

      you want a scammell.
      or a Bedford truck.

      maybe a German half-track?

    • Dr john Campbell had an interesting video today.
      All about the Nolan principles for conduct in public office.
      It is what we would all wish but sadly bent fkrs are everywhere scheming from the systems from within, so they only represent themselves and fk the plebs.

    • I need to correct my open last comment.
      My Mam wants to live at home until the end.
      Assistance by carers is not for her, she will be 88 years in early February . She can no longer walk, as the hips and knees are bent and crushed. No operations as she wouldn’t even survive the first one and the consultants ain’t encouraging her either.
      Old school heart, thats walked this life.

  9. They are not “dropping like a stone”. They can’t make them fast enough. All car sales are dropping but EVs are taking a bigger proportion. It’s a shame you can’t afford one but tough shit, I can, you fucking whining pauper. I now pay £5.20 to fill up a 590HP car for 350 miles. It refills itself while I’m in bed shagging the Mrs. I didn’t buy it to save fluffy fucking bunnies or trees, whales, polar bears or any fucking thing else that never bought me a pint. I bought it because it costs me FA to run and it goes like shit off a shovel. I don’t care if some fucker had to die mining my battery. I don’t care if a new one costs a wad. I save £8k a year. After 4 years the new battery is sweet FA and it will be north of 10 years before it fucking dies anyway.
    Buy a fucking stream train and quit whining.

  10. It’s fucking laughable , I’ve just had my Golf R done to Stage 2 .

    I love it more than my kids .

    Then I find out that the MK9 won’t be along for a while as it’s going to be all electric .

    There will be riots when people suddenly can’t get about because of this fucking stupid idea .

  11. Electrical cars are strictly for idiots only, true cunts.

    Great if you want to mince to the eco-office or the hairdresser but if you need to do real miles for work and carry tools these things are as much use as a wet paper bag.

    Every one I see looks horrible and the cunts driving them look terrified in case the fucking thing bursts into a firebomb.

    No ta.

  12. I can’t help wondering when certain folk, well known for their love of the open road and its diverse variety of modes of transport, figure out how to easily and rapidly remove certain valuable components from EVs, enriching their community whilst turning the EV into a costly hen house?

    I’ve already seen stories of charging cables being stolen, I’m sure those imaginative little monkeys will come up with something else equally as costly to replace.

    Our local Lidl has stopped repairing the two EV chargers it installed last year, after the cables were stolen for the umpteenth time.
