EVs *are* better than ICE cars, and even cheaper than ICE cars on the long run. But you have to pay more when you buy the car and less after, so it can be challenging since cars are more and more expansive and with inflation.

Still not heard a single person mention the fire hazards EVs cause. Nor the fact we had a multistorey car park fire in Liverpool in 2017, that car park had few if any EVs on it, structurally it was fine after the fire. Fast forward to a couple of years ago, Luton airport multistorey car park had a fire, far more EVs are on the road now so it stands to reason, there was more on the Luton car park. That carpark collapsed. Now. Is that due to more EVs being present and the fact lithium burns at a higher temperature than fossil fuel? Could it be that EVs present a unique structural risk to buildings with under ground car parks and multistorey carparks? Along with the toxicity risk to humans, wildlife, pets, and agricultural land, because lithium turns into hydrofluoric acid when burning. I'm getting really tired of the above never being mentioned. IF the Luton carpark structurally failed, due to EVs, we need to know. Liverpool one shopping centre has a giant carpark underneath it, what happens if lithium fires do cause structural failure, to somewhere like Liverpool one?

Electric car benefits and cons are all subject to some context of where you live. If you have one with 300 miles of range, I'm sorry but if you're running out of charge, that's on the driver! The only time I ever charge it 'on the road' is journeys between MCR and LDN (I only need to charge it going there or back, not both). For actual data, this year I have spent exactly £520 on charging, for petrol it would be £1,379. And yes, of course if you dont have a charger at home, its not worth the benefits probably for lack of convenience using public chargers. If you do have a charger at home, its very convenient actually.

Good morning britain.. can you ask these questions: How do you account for Battery actual life depletion, like a mobile phone, batteries depreciate with power over time :100% is 80% of its origional chage capacity. combustion engines dont need this worry and can be fixed as they wear.. electric cannot.. unless you buy a new battery or motor for half the depreciated value of the whole car. Battery operated cars are vaunerable to salt water as we saw in florida,. they deplete in energy in cold weather and wont start in frozen weather.. see usa frozen car issues, they will also overheat and explode in high heat, i wouildnt want to be in one, in a very hot uk summer.. insurance is massively high due to very many basic issues or minor accidents writing them off. the uk is charging massive tax.. so lets look at this.. if i buy an ev for 80k then the car after 2 years is worth 8 to 12k .. as they depreciate so fast.. i will be paying tax based on its purchase price of 80k though its worth 12k... this is a bad investment and any finantial guru let alone expert would know this. people dont want to be forced to pay to use a loo, buy a coffee and food, read a book to charge a car,. they want to fill a car in seconds and drive on when they feel ok to do so. im currently working 100 mile round trip. the only ev i could afford is a nissan leaf,. it wouldnt even make it there lol id potentially need to charge it 3 times. as i cannot charge it at home, EVS are the generally most boring cars., they all look identical based on a battery platform. witrh the exception of evs selling for 100s of tghousands. they look like margerine tubs in general. The main reason you want every one in evs is so you can track them using ai gps tech built into them and the recording tech. and so you can build taxable app style car services. also... its really bad business to force people to buy stuff they dont want.. if you have to fine car companies for not selling enough,. your answer is right there. evey normal human in the uk will and can and has said.. trhe uk is not leading or influencing anything... we are a tiny island... our net zero will make no difference to the world. Your destroying the country for a dream.
