itsnotoutthere Posted June 25 #1 Share Posted June 25 Owners of electric cars are ditching battery power and returning to petrol as demand for greener vehicles drops across Britain. Range anxiety, a lack of public charging points and limited incentives are the key factors behind the dwindling desire for electric motors. Car dealership chain Motorpoint Group said the majority of electric vehicle (EV) owners who sold their car in the last year didn’t buy another one – opting instead for a petrol, diesel or hybrid model. The trend is continuing in 2024, with the latest registration figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showing a 2pc fall in EV uptake since last May. https://www.msn.com/en-in/autos/news/why-electric-car-drivers-are-switching-back-to-petrol/ar-BB1oPE4D?ocid=BingNewsSerp 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell Posted June 25 #2 Share Posted June 25 Maybe we ought to drive horse drawn cars again? We have the cars. Simply rip out the heavy gear and put a horse in front of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelane Posted June 25 #3 Share Posted June 25 Had an officer I worked for who swore by his Tesla. That was until he had to change duty stations and he and his family were stranded after the car lost its power in frigid conditions. Placed his wife and two little ones in serious danger as they were in a pretty desolate stretch in Wyoming. He traded out of it immediately. Just an example that I'm personally aware of. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
