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........
