      Tipping point reached? All those oil and grease back street garages are now living on borrowed time.

      Norway’s already 98% electric for new sales.

      It will start steadily eroding the amount of fuel burned in transport – bus and rail purchases are almost all electric now as well, and as the older models get retired our emissions will drop a lot.

      Better late than never.

      I wonder at what point the Government introduce a ‚temporary‘ tax on electricity to make up for the shortfall in tax they are making on fuel now. That will be a fun day especially when there will be fuck all way to differentiate between ‚charging car‘ electricity and lighting your house electricity. Just gonna make driving more expensive and living more expensive in one fell swoop.

      Thank fuck, I was getting worried about the climate. This should fix it.

      Electric car usage will blow up once we figure out apartment and residential common parking area charging, preferably at home electricity rates or close to it. This right now is the biggest blocker to mass adoption.

      I went full 180 on electrics. I was ICE until I die until a colleague broke down the running costs. Got a 40kW 300km base model and haven’t looked back.

      If you have a driveway and require a 2nd family car then you’d be certified insane not to get an electric. Also for teaching kids to drive during their spatial awareness phase its invaluable.

      100 quid road tax, 150 quid full service, barely uses pads, instant acceleration, total no brainer.

      Complete convert. Do 200+km a day and costs me about 2 quid. Much faster, more comfortable, more reliable, cheaper to maintain. All the issues about battery repair costs, or range anxiety I’ve been proven totally wrong on. You need a home charger though.

      And what fuel goes into the internal combustion engines in the hybrids that outnumber the electric car sales? Stupid headline.

      Maybe I can’t read charts, but that looks like 70% are still petrol or diesel engine.

      Changed wife’s car 3 years ago. Still sorry didn’t go electric

      54.1% are petrol no? Nearly all hybrids are petrol engines with an electric motor…

      Ah here whose idea was it to include hybrids in with EVs? Plug-in hybrids, sure, but regular hybrids? 

      Come on that’s just petrol with extra steps for slightly better fuel economy.
