Current Electric Cars

[BIAD]

If one recalls, there was never any mention in previous posts regarding electric cars in the UK being
subsidised by the Government and that was due to focusing on only one facet of the situation at a time.

Important questions needed to be asked by Journalists in order to understand the impact on the fuel
consumers, but instead we were given the 'Jetsons' -version. Lets not talk about the cost from interested
Government sectors or how car companies will be forced into changing their practices.
Nope, money -like electricity, grows on trees.

'Would electric cars be a good idea around major (London) cities?'
Why yes, reliance on fluctuating and controlled oil markets would give way to electricity and since it's
free and hangs off trees, the cost of running a vehicle would drastically drop. A consumer will now be
able to save a dolphin as they potter through the countryside and know that his pennies are being saved.

'Will the logistics of charging on a busy street in the Cairngorms or the Lake District be an easy act
to implement?'
Sure, places around London Great Britain -where Elon Musk doesn't live, will just simply have electric
-charging facilities instead of those nasty gas-pumps where a customer can crack a nail during filling
up their tank on the way to the opera.

Please believe us and your hover-board is in the mail. Please note: We -the MSM, will now focus on
hybrid vehicles and quietly move away from what we were originally implying.

Government-subsidised plug-in cars may never have been charged.

'Tens of thousands of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) bought with generous government grants may be
burning as much fuel as combustion-engine cars.



Data compiled for the BBC suggests that such vehicles in corporate fleets averaged just 40 miles
per gallon (mpg), when they could have done 130.
Many drivers may never have unwrapped their charging cables, The Miles Consultancy said.

Subsidies for new PHEVs were recently scrapped, after seven years.
The plug-in grant was introduced in 2011, gifting buyers up to £4,500 off new cars.

The incentive helped the UK become the biggest market for PHEVs in Europe.
The majority of the tens of thousands of eligible vehicles sold were bought by company fleets, including
more than 70% of the 37,000 plug-in hybrids sold so far in 2018.

But data from The Miles Consultancy, a Cheshire firm which advises 300 blue-chip companies on fuel
management, reveals that many businesses simply used the grant to save on buying regular cars.

Mileage records from 1,500 models, including Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volvo vehicles, showed an
average real-world mpg of 39.27, against an average manufacturer advertised mpg of 129.68.

Figures for 2,432 hybrids -including non plug-in varieties -showed an average real-world mpg of 49.06,
still vastly lower than the potential range.

"There are some examples where employees aren't even charging these vehicles up," said Paul Hollick,
The Miles Consultancy's managing director. "The charge cables are still in the boot, in a cellophane wrapper,
while the company and the employee are going in and out of petrol stations, paying for all of this additional fuel.

This practice, he added, was "ridiculous".

The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), which represents many fleets, said higher taxes
on diesel cars incentivised companies to buy plug-ins, even if they had no intention of using their electric capability.

"We unfortunately have got a situation where a poorly designed tax regime is driving some poor behaviours,"
said Toby Poston, the BVRLA's communications director. "We have got some situations where company drivers
are choosing the vehicle based on their tax liability, rather than having the right vehicle for the right job."

Some companies, he explained, were buying PHEVs -which are best suited to local trips -for employees who
did a lot of motorway driving.

When presented with The Miles Consultancy's findings, a Department for Transport spokesperson said the
government believed plug-in hybrids "bring significant environmental benefits", but would "now focus its
support on zero emission models like pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars".

Plug-in hybrid vehicles continue to receive some government support, through lower car tax rates, grants for
charging infrastructure and, in some local authorities, free parking...'

And Boris Johnson's brother -Jo, resigns as Transport Minister. Another case of public funds being used to
build-up certain companies and then reap the 'Thank You' rewards for service.
And all the while, the mainstream media went along with the Jetson narrative.

Again, use your perspective in this reality. London is an expensive place to live and up to the point that
salaries in the capital are generally higher than the rest of the country because of it living costs.


Would you resign a well-paid position in Government over point of view (Brexit) and be able to exist as
unemployed in such an expensive area? Or would it be that you were confident that you had a fall-back plan
that would assure income?

This is what happens with most projects, money is thrown at it and in many cases, it's a failure. But only on
the face of it. Large amounts of public money have been used to enhance these companies and later, it's found
that those who're an integral part of benefiting these firms, end-up on the boards of these companies.

A similar situation is ongoing regarding the recent Cannabis-oil fiasco in the UK. A story appeared where an
Irish mother and her son who suffers with epilepsy, brought in the heavily-controlled medicine that is suggested
alleviates some seizures.
The story isn't presented with all its facts -as Ms. Cauldwell the mother, is a Director for the company that
sells 'Billy's Bud' cannabis-oil in Ireland.

What also isn't mentioned is the fact that through this misleading story, the UK Government changed their laws
on the medical use of a particular style (Cannabidiol) due to the uproar when Ms. Cauldwell suddenly appeared
at Heathrow airport with her son's medicine purchased from Canada.
What all the Journalists were doing there for her explanation of how Customs had refused her the oil -was never
revealed.

And the connection...? 

'GW Pharmaceuticals, a company whose largest investor is UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband, Philip May,
has received FDA approval for Epidiolex, a new cannabis derived drug to treat childhood epilepsy.
The announcement comes just days after the Home Office relaxed the UK’s strictly controlled ban on the medication
for two children suffering from related conditions.

Home Secretary Sajid Javid issued a licence for a batch of cannabis oil, which is illegal in the UK, to treat Billy Caldwell,
who suffers from violent epileptic seizures. Shortly after the move, Alfie Dingley was also granted a license for the oil,
to treat his epilepsy. Alfie had previously been denied the medication.

The Home Office licenses were issued in the middle of June, with FDA approval of GW’s new medicine being announced
on the 25th June, in a GW press release aimed at London and California. 
The approval for Epidiolex would have been given before the 25th...'
