Electric Vehicles
Do you believe 100% electric vehicles will be sustainable?
Enough power, without using fossil fuel?
That they are safe?
Enough charging points for all desiring one?
Responsible mining to replace billions of batteries that have an 8 year guaranty?
Safe disposal of billions of toxic batteries?
Government announced to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030
What does that mean for us and the planet?
- Long queues to charge vehicles at public points
- No car ownership for those without access to charging points
- The National Grid will not cope with 40million electrically powered cars so reduction of cars will be forced
- More demand than supply of electricity may:
- affect energy prices (will that be in our favour?)
- create a choice between travel or heating homes.
- Public transport may be your only option whatever your situation, but will that be cheap, efficient and reliable?
- Guarantied long recharging stops on long journeys
Electric Trucks
#Reality Check
Requires 2 batteries the approximate weight of 4 cars
Too heavy to tow by another electric vehicle
Too demanding on the national grid.
Production
"production of an electric car were 70 per cent higher than in the manufacturing of a petrol one due to the resource-sapping
lithium ion batteries."
Rowan Atkinson
Weight
Electric vehicles are significantly heavier than petrol cars.
Car parks and bridges will need strengthening.
The AA use petrol trucks for recovery, due to weight.
Batteries
Manufacturers guaranty car batteries for 8years.
Will this make second hand
vehicles undesirable or simply unaffordable?
Average Car Battery
15kg Cobalt, 40kg Nickle
and 50g Lithium
x mass production of billions!
How will this be disposed of without contaminating the water supply?
Government Claims
How will they control how much electric is shared out?
With SMART METRES
and
programable Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
We already enjoy the convenience of digital transactions,
so what benefit will the public receive from CBDC?
You may consider using cash inconvenient now, please consider the inconvenience if someone else is in control of your electric allowance easily controlled by a switch!
Feeling Vulnerable?
Consider London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), Look at the lack of action Sadiq Khan is implementing on the toxic air underground, whilst at the same time forcing the public out of their cars, possibly underground.
The Office of National Statistics states
ONE DEATH in London from 2001 - 2021
due to car emissions; So is ULEZ response proportional to the situation? Or money grab?
