Is the 2035 Petrol and Diesel Vehicle sales Ban also now dead in the water? Here's the reasons why EV's may cease to be made in the future

The recent U-Turn on Electric Vehicles might be down to a few stark reasons:

Britain is a less than 1% contributor to Global emissions and has already cut its output by 40% off 1990 levels, it has done enough. Banning Petrol and Diesel vehicle sales will make no noticeable difference to our emissions and will just make the UK poor for no real benefit. 

There is little point in making a clean air zone in London when you have airliners taking off from Heathrow pumping out pollution on takeoff that is blown back across the capital. For which they are not penalised or taxed. Unlike the Drivers.

Purchase cost is a very big issue putting people off purchasing electric vehicles.

The charging infrastructure coupled to short battery life of around 7 years before a noticeable loss of performance occurs means that the financial return on investment is also very poor value for money. 

The car is effectively scrap unless a new battery costing a third of the car's original value is purchased, whereas a Petrol or Diesel vehicle can go 20 plus years.

The electricity generated to fuel these vehicles often is from fossil fuels despite the quoted source being electricity generated from Green sources. 

When you add it all up, the benefits are very few and the sudden surge of secondhand EV's on the car market (Many dealers will not touch them) is a sign that people are seeing the drawbacks of the EV and getting out whilst they still can.

Petrol and Diesel vehicles are now the cleanest in their history and this will only improve, they provide a transport solution that is viable, Electric is not and will fail for the same reasons these vehicles failed in the 1900s, the battery and charging.

Germany has wisely added a loophole that vehicles able to use synthetic fuels can be sold after 2035, Porsche intends making Petrol vehicles 'for the foreseeable future' - they can see the future is not Electric.

Motor manufacturers have put their eggs in the wrong basket, advised by misguided politicians and influencers and have made their plans for mainly electric production, this has been a big mistake and it is no wonder that they are now angered over this, the reality is that the EV adoption to achieve parity with ICE vehicles by 2030, 2035 or even 2050 now looks a dead duck. 

So here are some September 2023 Polls that show what people really think these vehicles:- 87% Against buying an EV as their next new car  and an 80% opposition to the 2030 ban. Says it all. They have no future.


That looks like a No then........ 


a very big NO........

Ineos Grenadier shows the way forward is Petrol and Diesel and NOT Battery Electric Vehicles

 

Jim Ratcliffe the motive force behind the Ineos Grenadier
stands by a classic old Series type Landrover

Jim Ratcliffe has invested £400 Million in the production of the Ineos Grenadier, what some might see as a Landrover of the old school, for tomorrow.For which he should be roundly applauded, having the foresight to see where the future actually is.

The Grenadier is no vanity project, it is a well though out vehicle without the over complication of electronic circuitry that bedevils just about all modern automotive output from the 1990's onwards.

He also sensibly sees that Petrol and Diesel vehicles do have a future in our transport provision beyond the stupidly arrived at 2030 ban, where there is no practical and completely suitable transport solution ready for implementation on that arbitrarily imposed date.


Yahoo Poll September 2023 on EV Purchase

Politicians grabbing headlines with sweeping statements have been exposed by leading industrialists who have stated that there was no practical solution to take the place of Petrol and Diesel vehicles in place when these arbitrarily made dates have been announced.

Indeed it has seems like some sort of a contest has been in place to see who can usurp the previous implementation date.

Germany has wisely, unlike the blinkered British Government (which is carried along on a thin veneer of wokery), to allow after 2030, the continued sale of Petrol and Diesel vehicles that can use alternative synthetic Petrol and Diesel fuels.

Porsche states that it will sell such vehicles 'for the foreseeable future' which is past 2030 at any rate.

This looks quite conclusive

Like Porsche, Jim Ratcliffe can see the limitations of the Battery Vehicle, they will fail for the same reasons that they did in the 1900's - range and battery.

Whilst Jim Ratcliffe sees some future in Battery, it is for city and shorter trips potentially viable, the problem is that the 6 year battery life is the killer, along with the increased cost of vehicles reliant on battery power and of course the charging issues.

It shows the stupidity and blinkered rush down Electric Avenue - that at the outset of all this, no one made the decision to standardise the charger plug pin layout or plug size. A schoolboy error of epic proportions.

Jim Ratcliffe may have the last laugh, whilst other manufacturers have been grudgingly cajoled down Electric Avenue to build electric for the future, this may all end in failure and his Grenadiers are still rolling off the production lines.

UPDATE:


The EV Grenadier production has been postponed until 2027 - maybe it will never be made in the edn?

Uxbridge Election 2023 - A Tory 2024 Election Win hinges on their dumping 'Green' Climate Change Agenda Policies like Net Zero

The stark warning for the Tories is clear - 

Dump the 'Green Crap' Policies 

or Lose the 2024 Election


Citizens are making their voice heard -

Green policies cost the Earth and voters in their pockets for little benefit

**Britain produces less than 1% of the Global Emissions - 

to do anything or nothing 'Green' will make NO real difference at all.**

**CO2 constitutes 1/2 of 1% of the total atmospheric gases - 
this is not a problem but CO2 is used to generate scaremongering 'news'**

ULEZ sounds good on paper - charge drivers of older and more polluting vehicles for city driving. But.... having cleaned the air, no charges are made for the numerous airlines polluting those ULEZ cities with their emissions generated on take off by planes.

London, Bristol and Birmingham are all Cities with ULEZ zones - all also have airports. Do the math as they say. Pay to drive in but don't pay to fly out.

The rank hypocrisy of this situation only heaps more fuel on the fire to show that the Green Agenda policies are costing voters and costing the Earth literally to achieve. 

This is starting to manifest at the ballot box and for the Conservative party as Uxbridge 2023 showed. 

Green is a vote loser, Labour nailed that ULEZ flag to the mast at Uxbridge and lost. 

15 minute cities across the nation are being challenged and repealed, like the Green agenda they have been foisted on people without a vote or consultation. 

This short pin-point article should show you why the Climate Change excuse is being used to control people and the hypocrisy of the 'Green' policies threatening our future prosperity and freedom of movement:

The UK heritage vehicle movement creates £18 Billion for the UK treasury a year, taking away road fuels will kill that. That £18 billion was our Defence budget about 10 years ago. 

(We will lose not only historic vehicles which will be worthless museum pieces without access to fuels, but skills and jobs across a wide range of outlets.)

Germany has cleverly circumvented the 2030 Petrol and Diesel vehicle ban by producing synthetic Petrol, it can now sell Petrol engined cars after 2030 that can use synthetic Petrol, which also means older cars can use it to.

Germany has not been stupid enough to pin its hopes on EV's which are a failure. It knows that.

E10 Petrol

Ethanol in Petrol reduces performance of the Petrol.

It is noticeable that E10 performs far worse than E5 Petrol. E10 loses an average car around 120 miles of range per tank of fuel. Is that Green?

The Ethanol would be better used in the Drax power stations instead of Biomass, we can grow the sugar beet in the UK to make Ethanol. This would save cutting down mature forests in the US, see below.

The Electric vehicle take-up and used EV sales. The truth.

Volkswagen has stopped a production line of EV's because of lack of demand. BMW a profitable company has been offered  'grants' to build the electric version of the Mini in the UK. 

Lack of sales stopped the EV Mini production in the UK, automotive 'gerrymandering' of production will produce more unsold vehicles sitting on runways of old airfields.

(Second hand electric vehicles are being dumped onto the used car market because people are seeing the pitfalls, mostly the replacement battery cost, short battery life, charging cost, accessibility and lack of working chargers or the right type for their cars.

Electric vehicle ownership is now around 1,000,000 vehicles as opposed to 34 Million Petrol or Diesel vehicles on the roads. With the 2030 'Ban' approaching in just over 6 years, the take-up is pitiful and by 2030 I doubt will be near 10%. This policy is already a failure and should be discontinued.

EV Battery production literally is costing the Earth, employing slave labour including Children, poisoning the water ecosystem and land with the extraction and refining of minerals.

EV's fail 43% of MOT's due to worn eyes, the heavier cars also make more pothole damage and tyre debris, oil is used to make both tyres and tarmac. 

Just stopping oil is not achievable unless you are a brainwashed eco-zealot and the principle only exists in your mind.

This folly of pursuing these electric vehicles for general use is obvious, they do have a place in urban areas for short journeys but otherwise they are a failure. They will fail for the same reasons they failed in the USA around the 1900's the battery range and charging issues.)

Untaxed Airlines taking off, blow out pollutant emissions back over 'Clean air zones' such as happens in London, Bristol & Birmingham where ULEZ zones are enforced and drivers are forced to pay-to-drive - somewhat of an own goal. Aircraft produce their most pollution on take off blown back over these cities. So much for clean air. We are again being taken for fools.

(Each aircraft movement creates the same CO2 output as a family car driven 75,000 miles - equating to about 10 years of average driving of that car in just that one takeoff. 

Multiply that by the aircraft takeoff events happening at 90 second intervals for most of the day and that means around 30 events per hour across at least 12 hours a day for each airport meaning around 400 flights per day on a busy day.)  

Burning wet biomass culled from North American mature forests, then shipping the wood debris across the Atlantic in ships travelling 10 feet per Gallon of oil consumed and burning this wet wood, creates massive amounts of CO2 making one such 'Power Station' that burns Biomass the biggest sole CO2 polluter in the UK.

(Powdered Coal burned in Power Stations is more efficient and less net CO2 producing than wet biomass - We were told NOT to burn wet wood some years ago in woodburning stoves - which anyone with one of these, knows not to do. 

We have 300 years supply of high grade coal in Wales that is cleaner and greener than the Biomass alternative.

Culling mature trees in the USA means that there is a 30 year wait for replanted growth to equate in CO2 consumption what has been cut down. Sheer stupidity to think this is ecologically sound)

The world is an oil based economy and has been for over 100 years.

(Even electric vehicles use tyres made from 80% oil and the paint that Just stop oil vandals throw around is likely made from Oil, as are their pvc banners. 

Oil has to be refined, as part of that process we get Natural Gas, Petrol Diesel, lubrication Oils and Grease and other products from this operation. Fuels are volatile and are hazardous to store and burning them is a way to use them.)

Electric vehicles are not the future.

(In the 1900's America had a flourishing Electric Vehicle presence, it died a death because of the obvious limitations that exist today and because now as then, liquid fuels are more convenient and efficient.)

The reality is that if the developed countries shy away from Oil, other nations will not and continue to use it. Oil is not going to go away.

It is likely that the finite minerals needed for batteries will be gone before direct one for one parity replacement of today's vehicles will be achieved.

(Synthetic fuels have been made since the 1940's, only the prevalence of naturally occurring Oil and the fact it is cheaper to exploit  have meant that synthetic, Green and Net Zero fuels which are possible and being made now, have only just now become viable alternatives in cost terms. 

We should be in no rush to dump or stop manufacturing internal combustion vehicles which CAN operate on synthetic fuels.)

Tyre debris causes ill health. EV's create more tyre debris particles due tot heir weight.

(The worst offenders are electric vehicles that wear tyres out far quicker, around every 2 years and these tyres are 80% Oil, the Tarmac used on our roads is also from Oil.)

Free energy has been available to the world since 1954.

(See Stephen Greer's work on this subject. We have the technology gained around 1954 to have moved away from Oil to free and clean energy. The USA which relies heavily on Oil would have lost its world advantage and considerable wealth by pursuing this path. Do the math as they say.)

Policies such as Net Zero and the cessation of production of Internal Combustion Engines has been engineered as part of a Transport Apartheid project to control personal transport and restrict movement. 

It will not stop nations including China, India or Russia from burning fossil fuels. 

Nor has any viable alternative been in place to take the place of ICE engines before making rash promises of 2050, 2036 and 2030 production and sales cut-off dates.

Adopting dates grabbed out of thin air of '2050', then '2036' and now '2030' as dates to 'ban' I.C.E engined vehicles are sheer folly. 

These 'statements' are being made without a credible solution either in place, without a realistic alternative being in place and often made by headline grabbing politicians and those with often very little technical idea of the problems to overcome or the practicalities.

Many scientists and leading industrialists have pointed out this obvious error. 

Politicians blind by green tinted glasses have not seen this schoolboy error.

Almost as big an error was the failure to unify the charging plug size and pin layout on electric vehicles and chargers before going down this 'green road'.

The bottom line is that the Sun creates our climate and China has a large industry controlling the weather though electronic and airborne chemical means. 

Such artificial 'influencing' of the climate means that any fluctuations or spikes in the weather can be 'conveniently' blamed on climate change when this is patently not the case.

Humans can change the weather by electronic and chemical means and this has been done since the late 1940's. The results can be conveniently blamed on climate change by the eco zealots and the brainwashed.

Climate Change is the biggest scam since the South Sea Bubble fiasco in the 1700's.

It cannot explain why in the days when Jesus was around that Grapes could be grown in Britain, as they could also in the Tudor times, yet conversely how in the 1800's the climate was so cold that the River Thames was frozen solid for months in Winter.

More than 10,000 years ago there were no glaciers and Greenland was fertile green land not an icy enclave. We had an Ice Age 10,000 years ago. It is only a phase. 

Sea levels are controlled by gravitational forces from the Moon which is moving away from the Earth by 12 inches a year. Less gravity force = less pressure on the water = water rising over time. Simple physics not 'Climate change'.

We are all being scared over this climate 'situation' and it is being exploited to control us. It all looks like a huge scam.

The problem for politicians is that the public are not so easily conned as a woke focus group and otherwise unemployable academics sitting round drinking coffee and telling each other how good they are for coming up with this nonsense.

In 2024, the results at the ballot box will favour the politicians brave enough to say 'enough of the green crap'. The alternative is to lose and face a political wilderness for the next generation under another party. 

And control of your travel, heating and wealth through the Green and unnecessary policies that will literally cost the Earth will be paid for by you.
