When it is £42,000 for an Electric fiat 500 or a new Mini we have a big problem. Ordinary people cannot afford it.

Seeing what the UK Government is doing at the moment, they will probably double down on it and bring it forward. Also I see all the manufacturers doing massive amounts of pre-registration's to avoid the fines. Car parks full of unwanted EV's.

Our politicians think all they have to do achieve something is make a law about it and it will happen. They simply do not understand the complexity of achieving it. Harry understands it, so please pay attention to him!

If everyone is using "cheap overnight electricity" it won't be cheap for long.

So the super rich can keep using their private planes, yachts, super cars and other toys …. Heck, fly to the moon if they want …. Then I think they should force us in to EVs …. Particularly Mrs Smith who does 3 miles a week to the post office 🤡🤡

I am a private tenant, I am never going to fit a charging system to a house I can be made to leave at the whim of a landlord. The landlord won't fit a charging system to the house. Catch-22 for electric systems.

Immigration, EV, Green Policies: Yet again the UK government is out of step with what the electorate want. Sadly all of the UK Main Stream Parties are guilty of wanting to ignore what the majority of UK people want.

Our government doesn't want you in an electric car, they want you out of your car completely. Don't expect Starmer to backtrack on this anytime soon.

Manufacturers are telling dealers to buy pre-reg EV cars, dealers then sell the car at a loss but still make profit because they don't get the £15,000 fine. This is why dealers can't afford to take in EV part ex due to pressure to sell new.

remember: it wont be the manufacturers who carry this penalty madness in financial terms, but us ordinary consumers

How dare consumers purchase what they want. Obviously the government knows better…

Is this the mandate that Quentin Wilson and his mates lobbied the last government for…?
-
Governments and politicians are so out of touch at the moment.

The UK government needs a fucking wake up call. And for that matter most governments who have this hatred of cars. Their entire approach to cleaning up the environment when looking at the entire picture is downright suspicious and laughable. Not to mention the fact that governments should stop having this "we rule the people and you will do as you are told" approach, they work FOR the people.

A work colleague has a Mercedes Vito van, it's a 2016 and when i say it's mint, it's immaculate. He's a diesel mechanic, has had it from new, low mileage, it's faultless, immaculate. The dealer he bought it from contacted him recently, offered him £2000 for his van trade in towards a new EV Vito. Cost, £52k. Fifty Two THOUSAND pounds. Give you a guess which option he chose.

God save us from meddling politicians.

You will own nothing and be happy!

they'll double down

More sense spoken by Harry on EVs and Net Zero in twenty-two minutes, than I’ve heard from the government in five years (or, indeed, ever).

EV's should be small cars for town and city use, not 2 tonne monsters.
