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.

My company have been asked to make our bespoke products for certain electric cars; we refused point blank. Even though it would make us reasonable money, the company owner (for whom I run the design department) hates electric cars and their owners with a passion and a good thing too. Electric car owners read the Guardian, have 6k carbon fibre push bikes and like Jamie Oliver and beige shit like Ed Sheeran.

Afternoon Thomas👍
Watching something on telly with that actor, Jason momoa.
He’s into bikes.
But mainly 1930s bikes.
He’s after rebuilding these old Harley Davidson hill racing bikes of which not many were made and even less survive.
Maybe 9 left in the world.
He’s convinced some bloke with one to let him reproduce one.
They used a 3D scanner.
But the parts weren’t machined,
Handmade, so it made it a bit of a nightmare.
But I get his passion.
Those 1930S bike have far more soul than a modern one.
They look the absolute bollocks 👍
14
I like Jason Homo-a.
He looks like he enjoys his life, doesn’t give a shit about Hollywood nonsense and shags loads of tottie.
I have to work on Harleys now and again. And ride them too.
Utterly horrid!
Almost as hateful as a chınky-made motorbike.

Electric cars in China, running on electricity produced in Coal fired power stations 👍
The UK
80% of sales have to be electric by 2030
The grid has to zero carbon by 2030
What can possibly go wrong 😂
I have had two emails from my energy supplier telling me my electricity meter is past it certification date, they have to change it to a smart meter, the second email was asking why I hadn’t booked an appointment, I wonder what the third email will say 😂
20
The third will be full of threats and more bullshit, inform them in writing that you do not consent to a smart meter and until that becomes unlawful and illegal, your stance will remain unchanged.
Send it special delivery so it gets signed for, keep the proof of postage.
14
Send an email to the cunt in charge telling him/her/it you feel harassed and it’s causing your mental health issues.
15
Also, tell them you’re black and gay.
16
I was thinking of saying something along the lines of –
Prove it, provide a copy of the certification referencing the meter serial number, make and model, I know they can’t
Also according to citizens advice MID meters don’t have an expiry date
Give them the date protection/privacy angle that a smart meter will harvest data which could be misused by energy companies or other third parties.
Smart meters could be used to cut off my supply without prior note which will cause constant anxiety
@moggie, claiming to be black or gay would be a step too far 😂
11
If the cunt energy cut me off via the smart meter I shall do what my dear old Dad showed me how to do. I shall wire into the street light outside. He spent 30 plus years working for eastern electricity board, tapping street lights was a very pikey thing in our area.
The fun will really start when all the ev batteries that haven’t caught fire or exploded have to be recycled. Make Chernobyl look like a fucking garden party the amount of pollution recycling ev batteries will produce. Plus both methods currently in use destroy the lithium and the graphite. What is also bloody hilarious is that China is leading the world in producing all the shite required for “green energy” and the factories that are producing all these wonders are powered by low quality coal burnt in power stations. They’re doing their bit, they obviously care, ask any government minister, senior civil servant, non working royal.

And we have loads of Vietnamese too Cunt Engine. They loved building tunnels back in the old country when fighting Uncle Sam. Get them out of the nail bars and cannabis farms and doing something fucking useful. See, we’re doing Mad Red Ed’s bloody job for him.

I’ve had two EVs. The Honda e was a bag of wank. The Polestar 2 was a fucking incredible car. I loved it. I miss it.
The P2 absolutely pissed over any other car I’ve had before. The range was about 350 miles, and we didn’t even think about it.
Being a car media cunt, I’m not buying into that “mUh dRiviNg eXpErienCe” – evs have their own inherent characters. A P2 vs a Tesla Model 3 vs a BMW i4 are vastly different.
The biggest issue is our shitsack of a public charging system.
Oh, and I drive a Golf GTI! 😁😁😁

I thought the self-driven car was due next. Doesn’t seem like it now, if this can’t get sorted out. My bicycle guides itself. I only have to peddle it.

They appear to have been programmed by a blind man on a charging horse, given their propensity to kill the occupants.

Self driving Tesla’s are allegedly racist.
There was a case in America where a (sheboon) cab driver was busily not paying attention to the road ahead and the self driving car hit a woman (another sheboon) who was walking across the freeway at night in the shadow of a bridge (Darwin award) .
The car couldn’t pick our the 300lb sow against a dark backdrop with hilarious consequences.
The end result of this is that self driving cars are racist.
7
Maybe they’ve just become self-aware Odin, and are acting in self defence?

I don’t know what it’s like in the UK, but you have to buy electric cars here, even if they are ‘mild hybrids’.
About 5 year’s ago I brought a new Sportage.
It cost me €22.000.
Last year I got rid of it for a similar spec Sportage which had the hybrid engine.
That cost €43.000.
The cunt salesman told me that with the electric engine I would get better kpl.
I asked him how the fuck that could happen if I spend my time driving up the mountains in the Andalucía province pulling a second engine around with me.
A fucking waste of money and probably another electric battery will go into land fill once the car gives up the ghost.
8
Can’t you scrap the battery for a few quid now and offset the massive depreciation?

My old man was a master mechanic. He loved his job and his garage, and he adored cars. Proper ones, that is.
He never lived to see these EV contraptions, but he would have hated them.
And those electric yellow buses that now run on Manchester’s streets.
They are made of bloody tin foil. Two of them hit each other the other week,
It was like something off On The Buses. Both were like coke cans that had been stood on.
I remember the orange diesel buses from the 70s. Splendid.
The 70s Manchester Routemaster was wonderful. The 98 from Piccadilly Station to Bury.

Green bullshit that will fuck us up and whats left of manufacturing. And all to reduce global emissions by about 0.5%.
Turning steelmaking into scrap melting while China and India open more real steel plants.
And what is really funny is that all the millions of Chinese electric cars run on coal which fires their power grid.
It takes a real gullible moron like Millipede to push this shite.
15
I ceased worrying about the EV bullshit a couple of years ago when I realised it’s not going to happen. I’m just hoping the bottom feeders currently infesting the HOC keep pushing it as it all improves our chances of having Nigel as PM in 2029.

Indeed sir.
Orwellian Starmerism should implode under the weight of its own collective farming,manufacturing,politburo bullshit within 18 months.
Force electric vehicles onto the masses and watch the economy collapse.
Keep at it you Pravda-esque technocratic freaks.

Anyone buying an electric vehicle has considerably more money than sense.
They should be locked up for the foreseeable and their tyres slashed by government edict.

Electric Vehicles are first rate wankery. A massive step backwards and only appeals to this highly dangerous misgovernment and soyboy hipsters. It’s either petrol or diesel for me…or nowt.

Fucking great idea……..form milkmen and golf buggies. Shit idea for real transport. Likely to catch fire immediately after it’s run out of charge 30 miles from your destination.
On the upside there are plenty of videos online of Chinese EV’s spontaneously combusting.
In China the government subsidises EV producers to the extent there are fields full of brand new Chinese EV’s rotting away and polluting the environment. To get their subsidy the car has to be registered, so the factories bulk register the cars and leaves them to rot.
Then Starmer and the like applaud China for its green revolution.
Pile of cunt.

Adolf Starmer is an epic cunt

I know quite a few people who drive EV’s, at least 7or 8.
Not one of them owns them, they’re company cars, fleet.
So when you see people buzzing around in a 72,73 or 74 plate leccy, chances are they don’t own it personally.
If fleet sales dry up as companies realise there’s no more gain in virtue signalling, the market really will dry up.
Then, if those Labour retards still won’t listen, manufacturers will have no choice but to pull out of the UK market.
And they’ll dissolve most, if not all of their dealer networks. More jobs gone.
Wake up you stupid cunts!
14
The companies give them back after 3 years and, since nobody in their right mind would buy a used EV, lease companies will stop offering them.

I remember the time my ex employer got an electric van. Charger was supposedly set up new vehicle acquired. Come the Friday phone goes off. Chargers faulty we can’t do the round, can you bring your van in and run the other guy around? Schadenfreud is so delicious.

Ive been saving nearly 45 years for some fuck off Ferrari or Lamborghini to wank over in my garage……and next year I hope to realise it, so if you think I’m not going to because some electric bumper car is an option you’ve got another think coming.
12
I am looking forward to the first hard snow where cunts are stranded on motorways in queues and will count one by one all the EV’s that will just dies due to just sitting there with lights on, heater on, wipers on, radio on and zero way of ‘topping up’ their tanks. I will be behind them in my petrol or diesel car with a gallon or so of extra juice in the boot, which I can use to top up whilst I toast my tits off sleeping in my car overnight on the hard shoulder

EV’s= government control.

Exactly 👍

Ive drove one of these EVs.
Constantly crash and a gyppo was hanging onto the back of it.
Wasn’t impressed.
Never test-drive new technology on a fun fair.
I got a hot dog and went home with a goldfish.

MNC, how do?
Have you seen the gyppos with machinery (see, “carnival day”) in Buxton?
Absolutely vile. If the Einsatzgruppen SS needed a job…

Well Webecca and I each hev a Tesla model S, 0 to 60 in 0.0001 seconds, we ebsolutely love them, and we’re so pwowd to be saving the plenet as well.

Get rid of the weight in the boot Termy, it’s an urban myth and just slows you down and increases your braking distance. The right tyres are critical and with practice the handling is almost as much fun as sex. When you’ve got the hang of it you can turn the car 180º in little more than it’s own length. Far better than these modern front wheel drive machines where the only available yaw is fucking understeer.
Thinking about it though you really need a V6, be it Essex or Cologne.

Are those two vehicles burning ferociously in the header picture both an upgrade to the original Sinclair C5 E.V.’s?’ Didn’t they turn out to be a success! At least they didn’t cart around a 500kg battery.
