Electric cars are a very bad idea for many reasons. They are not green, they are very dangerous, they're inconvenient, and after a minor accident the car might be a total loss. I wouldn't feel safe even sitting in one. On the personal side I don't like small cars in general. I was in a terrible accident 34 years ago and if I'd been in a small car I'd have been killed. I'm not what you 'd call a frugal person. When I design projects energy efficiency is at the bottom of my list of priorities. If everyone had an electric car, when they all plugged them in at night to charge the batteries the entire nation would be in a blackout. Britain, America, China it doesn't matter.

60 quid for a Mini Cooper Electric over 24,000 miles.

[@marria01]

It’s almost like it’s a Porsche or something….

I was so excited to buy my new Boxster in 2001, and even more excited when I got rid of it in 2007. Absolutely unbelievable list of never ending faults.. Two, or was it perhaps 3 Rear main oil seals, wheel bearing, roof not closing properly ( plus the never correctly folding rear window). Door handle fell off, radio had a fault. Roof material chaffing and wearing. the optional extra thing between the headrests rattled.. flew off once when accelerating...

[@ihaynes9176]

Yes my BMW garage said they couldn't supply a new X1 in petrol. They had e hybrid or electric. I just said I will stay with my diesel series 3 and walked away

[@Ifitwerks]

Great, its the only way they will get the message!

[@ghunt9146]

Good man.

[@horseathalt7308]

Thank you for refusing to be bullied into buying something you do NOT want.

[@richardgatenby7560]

I have been told the dealers have to sell three EV for each ICE cars they sell, otherwise they have to pay a penalty.

[@wizzyno1566]

Thats just not true. 22% this year.

[@MiguelLeeuwe]

first reason EVs are not the future is that not everyone has a driveway to charge them every day

[@jamesfletcher-c2s]

Does anyone else remember back when ICE stood for In Car Entertainment (CD/Radio head units etc) rather than Internal Combustion Engine. Each time I hear or read ICE used in the latter I scream Noooooooooo inside! 🤣

[@stephengolds9679]

Glad I cancelled my Ioniq 5, just taken delivery of a Golf R 20 years, happy days

[@davannaleah]

The government says its all about choice.... there won't be any!

Love to know who keeps voting for Khan.

[@bryanlatimer-davies1222]

He has a block vote !

[@STEWARTMDEAKIN]

idiots that’s who

[@joelpierce3940]

If people want electric, ride the train, or bus. I am keeping my C7 ZO6, and my other ICE cars.

[@1simonreed]

4.7mm tread, need to keep an eye on it 😂. FFS Do they know you could do another 2 years on that tyre

[@philscarriage73]

The Teslas have the heater problems also and about £2000 to replace

[@roberthare5174]

Did the dealership provide the Dentist with a car to fill the gap 😂😂

[@KevinJones-r3g]

With so many replacements required, it is a strong warning to get rid of the car before the warranty expires.

[@grantperkins368]

He can't afford to. Stuck like glue now 😂

[@R56TurboCharged]

Car salespeople get commission. It's their job.

[@BarryR.]

No second hand market

[@andywilliams8563]

I was at Peugeot last week picking up a new (second hand) car - 1.5 diesel. I was speaking with the sales rep and he was telling me the pressure they are under to sell electric milk floats is unreal. They are literally forcing them on people to hit target.

[@15bit62]

I would think that cancelling someone's order and pushing them into an EV is quite close to "Bait and Switch" selling, which is illegal. Irrespective of whether you are an EV fan or not, this is not an acceptable selling practice.

[@Ifitwerks]

No but a blind eye will be turned along with all the others and there are lots, funny how if it fits a narrative it gets exempted.

[@kadmow]

- "sadly unable to deliver until ..... never - over subscribed, very popular". - "oh would you like a new car sooner, we might be able to help you sir." hmm... unrelated, ha ha ha...

[@lawreence13]

This is government led, based on Net Zero targets . Look at the plans to financially punish heating firms if they don't reach installing heat pump ex-changer targets. The enforced selling of EV's is also raising the vehicle insurance market doubling the premiums to compensate for EV coverage

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Dealers are pushing electric cars because vehicle makers that fail to achieve the ZEV mandate sales targets will be subject to fines, with a system of proposed flexibilities and credits to support those that sell a low volume of EVs. If a company misses the target, it will be made to pay the Government £15,000 for every car that doesn't comply.

[@martinbrookes1372]

Its like waiting for the photo shoots of MPs having their homes fitted with heat pumps . It seems like a long wait so far .

[@actualfacts1055]

Electric cars are only the future if they have fast chargers at every fish and chips shop.

[@TheGhostofreason]

They haven’t thought this through, only 2-3% of electric cars on road now. Where is all the electric for another 97% of cars going to come from? We are virtually at full capacity now ! It won’t work ! No way by 2035 .

[@janingram1076]

Trust me they have very carefully thought this through, The whole idea is that you will not own a car, you will be stuck in your 15 minute city (prison) with bugger all food watching BBC propaganda and eating bugs after your latest medical intervention

[@tug1345]

£345 labour to change brake fluid, and swap a filter, they know how to charge

[@benjamintresham9649]

The Fan on my Jeep has been spinning for 22 years and I live in Australia so it knows heat. Your fans lasted two years that’s green 😂😂😂😂😂
