[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1104406, member: 74121"] Some recent progress in the world of EVs. A while back Amazon converted their fleet to EVs (not Tesla). In December the first Tesla EV lorries will be sold. Delivery vans and lorries should quickly become full EV only sectors due to economics. Not even political vested interests should be able to stop that from happening. Buses are being infuriatingly slow to convert outside of China, although I just had an advert for Hitachi run electric buses in Scotland come up on my YouTube account, so baby steps are happening. Tesla also just announced plans to release a car with a max price of around £24k, which factoring in fuel costs will likely have cheaper lifetime costs than any comparable combustion engine car (10,000 miles = around £1,200 of petrol per annum at this time). Basically, we are approaching the point where purchasing pretty much any vehicle as a combustion engine model will be economically disadvantageous and that will be the point of no return and I think it'll be before the 2030 political deadline for neww vehicles that many countries have adopted.
