Britain getting Screwed
#24
So, I ask you, how true is this article, it says,,,,,, All The UK LOVES electric cars! 
I was think it is just a Propaganda Green Tree Hugger type article.
Quote:The popularity of electric cars in the UK has shot up over the last few years, with more than 100,000 plug-in vehicles on the road, compared with just 3,500 in 2013.
This huge increase in electric cars in 2017 has come about because of a greater level of choice for drivers, a shift in the public's attitude towards electric cars and a constantly improving public recharging network. Combined, this means that UK electric car buyers have a greater selection of vehicles to choose from than ever before.

And then you have to understand, the Tax Payers in The Great Country of Britain, are paying in advance,,,,,,, tinybighuh
Quote:Britain has twice as many taxpayer-funded electric car charging points as it actually has electric cars

The points dramatically outnumber the actual cars
Quote:The Government and local councils have splashed millions of pounds of taxpayers’ cash on building thousands of electric car charging points that barely anyone uses.

Ministers confirmed that public money had been used to construct a network of of 57,567 publicly-funded charging points as of the end of the last financial year.

The figure is roughly double the number electric cars actually registered for use on the road in Britain – around 24,500 as of December 2014, according to the Office for Low Emission Vehicles.
It would appear you Government is forcing Electric Car Down Your Throats!!!

Quote:Despite the rarity of electric cars, there are now more than six times as many charging points in Britain as there are petrol stations.

In 2013 the Government unveiled a £37m grant package to build the charging stations, with cash strapped local councils forking out even more money to install the points.

The grant was part of a £400m commitment towards encouraging the take-up of similar cars.

So your paying for some one else to Charge their Toy Car and charging you an Out Rages Price for Fuel,,,,,, Did you guys elect Obama at some point?  tinywhat
I mean, our fuel prices were at a fair and decent price in 2007 until Obama was elected and it went up to over three dollars a gallon in two months and stayed there and was higher at time for 7 years. Now it's back down to 2 dollars and 12 cents or lower, We pay normally for Gas (petrol) 1 dollar and 99 cents and 2 dollars and 29 cents for diesel for our truck.
Now there was another issue I read about,,,,,,,,,,
Quote:Can the National Grid meet electricity demands for this driving trend?
Quote:The national grid is already showing signs it is struggling to meet current UK demands with the national grid itself stating, “No one knows for sure how motorists will use electric vehicles in the future, but the implications for the UK’s electricity infrastructure could be enormous.”

With EV sales increasing, will this put a strain on the grid?

Could this put EV drivers at risk of returning to their car and it’s not charged due to an outage?

At this stage it is unlikely but all EV owners should be aware that this could happen in the future.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Just exactly is your power source for creating electricity? Do you use Gas Turbines, Nuclear, Coal or What?  tinywondering
I ask this because,,,,,, won't the source you use to create electricity increase? Could that Create MORE Pollution?  Just asking.
Once A Rogue, Always A Rogue!
