a new EV story in this is money saying that it is now cheaper to own an EV than a petrol car.
Plenty of sensible negative comments like the people pointing out that the breakeven point was about 14 years and no one keeps a car that long so it was a bit of a pointless story TBH.
I loved this comment though:
"
They have shown an advert on the tv showing 200miles between charges. My question is how much it will cost to charge? I have a customer in Sheffield that I can travel to and from 3-4 times on 1 tankful, yet I would need to charge this every night. They say how good they are but what is the true cost?
"
damn it if only there was some way to get the answer to a question like that. we might have another convert to EV's
All the old favourites were represented as well of course:
"
Yep - I'd rather stump up the extra 2p and fill my car with diesel every 550 miles in under 5 minutes rather than hanging around for 8hrs at a service station every 200 miles.
Where are all the windmills going to go and who is going to maintain them?
They may be cheaper but they're just not as good.
Hydrogen is the way to go.

Can you take electric cars through a car wash?
Don't be so stupid, where does the electric come from? Nuclear fission leaves more harmful waste than any carbon waste. it's undisputed.
If you are a low mileage driver, electric is more expensive as the monthly battery lease is more expensive than the petrol you're using.
Battery pack will last 3 to 4 years at best.
Hmm how long will the battery packs last I wonder.... certainly not 10 years!

There were plenty of EV's defenders as well of course but the were mainly downvoted and called remoners for some reason.
