I love my old car why would I go for evUK to ban sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030 - FT
Boris Johnson plans to announce a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, five years earlier than previously planned. It is not expected to apply to some hybrid cars.mol.im
Yup, that is what I am certain will happen. Hope to God work is done on public transport infrastructure by then!Will there ever be 30 million electric cars on the road post 2030 though?
Seems to me that the plan post 2030 is to impose punative taxes on all the old ICE cars to get them off the roads quickly. The masses will be taking the bus or walking not driving electric cars.
I suppose it all depends on if people will travel in the future. The death of the city centre / high street due to online shopping. All the former retail space has to be used for something else. Housing seems the obvious choice where people can work from home. A brave new world or just a bloody boring one?Yup, that is what I am certain will happen. Hope to God work is done on public transport infrastructure by then!
And come to Scotland, it's cold and wet, who wants to cycle anywhere?Why don't they make a load more cycle paths town to town ?
Because there's no revenue from it !
They will soon hike EV road tax where else are they going to replace fuel duty ,nothing is free, especially in the UKWill there ever be 30 million electric cars on the road post 2030 though?

The grid would already fail if everyone turned on their kettles, or worse, electric showers at once. It just doesn’t work that way and this scare story is trotted out endlessly.I read a theatd that if ever one has ev tha 30 million of them in uk everyone charging them at same time how they going to keep my hove lights going as we have power cuts all the time it’s a joke what building new nuclear power plants is green when they blow up ?????
@Chris-S Yes, thanks for bringing some realism to the conversation.The grid would already fail if everyone turned on their kettles, or worse, electric showers at once. It just doesn’t work that way and this scare story is trotted out endlessly.
By the time it could become a problem, charging will be managed.
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but there’s quite the program of building wind and solar generation going on too.
Watch this:
It’s an American piece, but their situation is already way worse than ours, so bear that in mind.
Same reason that ICE cars are also often pre registered. Stems from the fact they are a high volume mass produced item abeit an expensive one---GOT TO KEEP THEM PRODUCTION LINES MOVIN'Browse any used car classifieds or broker’s site today and you will find plenty of very low delivery mileage electric cars, from Volkswagen ID 3s to Honda Es.
Why so?
For electric cars, pre - registration lays the golden egg of lowering a marques’ fleet-average emissions (therefore avoiding fines and bad press) and freeing up allowances for them to sell higher-emitting cars.
