So EV sales as a percentage of new cars to private buyers had fallen recently but yes propped up by company sales so it grew overall. I think if the incentives were to vanish on BIK, salary sacrifice and so on that business sales might also drop.EVS better, fewer moving parts, scope for longer-lasting cars than overstressed small ICE engines (ecoboost, turbo).
This is the most important aspect in recent comments - "A small decrease in growth rate of EVs". EV growth is happening, but not always and in all places by 70-100+% a year. New markets all the time (Chile this year, Turkey last year). Many of the usual suspects on the Daily Hate comment section seem to misunderstand this as LESS EVs, when it just means EV sales are maybe ONLY 30% higher than last year's.
Diesel was obviously a bad idea to anyone who can think critically, just that the lobbyists could spin it as a good idea via media & paid-for politicians. Tiny bit better for CO2 for long steady driving (not short trips on a cold diesel engine), terrible for NOX and particulates in cities. Lots of maintenance costs (income for dealers).
Limiting the size of the urea tank by cartel-like activity wasn't going to help.
- initially only enough for 1200-1800 miles, later increased, but still limited to 8 litres in USA & 16 litres in Europe (about 16 minutes in).
Their own lawyers told them it was illegal.
Didn’t know there were limits on the urea tank size. My Disco 5 I had I think would do around 16,000 miles it claimed per tank. I definitely did over 10k miles before I topped it up and it still had a good few thousand more miles to go.
Pain to fill it up but not something you need to do often at least.
