Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles

The private ‘ownership’ of an EV is a predictable nightmare about to happen. Motorists are walking blind-folded into a World of pain. The forced phasing-in of hugely expensive electric vehicles with the concomitant phasing-out of petrol/diesel fuelled vehicles, will ensure sustainable price hikes everywhere. In the example of a small car (Fiat 500), the electric equivalent is almost double (£26,998) the cost of the petrol vehicle (£14,498). Government (UK) petrol tax revenue (45%) will be lost completely when petrol becomes scarce. So, it is very suggestive that the overall energy price hikes are all engineered to compensate for the shortfall. To imagine that The (UK) Government is not driving all these changes is absolute delusion. Is ofgem independent? - DA

The options of leasing arrangements provide a very wide range of (initial) and (ongoing) costs. And after the up-front rental payment the monthly rental cost continues for the entire rental period (2, 3, 4 years). What happens then? A new financing deal - starting again? Another up-front rental payment? How has a used car been driven and what is the mileage? How long before considerable expense could be required (if privately-owned) to replace the battery? It’s a virtual certainty that most electric cars will be leased and not bought (how many own their own mobile phone? - DA). What happens when a power-cut prevents charging and the EV is unusable? There are many, many unasked questions but motoring is about to get much, much more expensive and future expenses cannot all be predicted (but they'll happen). This is how the transfer of money from the slaves to the élite will continue to happen, Louis - DA.

Electric cars (10 relatively cheapest) twinned with raised energy prices fall neatly into place (hardly a coincidence, Louis - DA). What will the cost difference be to charge an EV battery between now and in 12 months’ time? Electric cars are expensive. The range of any EV will be very dependent on driving conditions. Is this a motorway (higher speed) journey, large engine (battery capacity will change) with four people and a luggage load (roof). And dark and wet (headlights + wipers) or a more leisurely ‘about town’ small car with one person and no luggage on a dry afternoon? And drive like this at night and while it’s raining will get the user(s) nowhere. No power. This type of discussion is absolutely taboo. As with petrol-powered engines, distance quoted/charge is under optimum driving conditions (they don’t actually exist outside the laboratory and in the real world, Louis - DA). The cost of a new battery system can be up to £10,000 though the lifetime of a battery should be several years. If the car is driven carefully. The surrounding air temperature. Top speed will be very important. Battery size and overall performance is a complex puzzle, though essentially, the faster the car and with the most distance will be much, much more expensive. Meaning a larger and heavier battery - greater load and reduced range. The inertia to overcome just to get moving and constant stop-start will have an enormous impact on range. Acceleration from 0 → 60mph is still a perceived a major ‘selling point’ but the concomitant and instant reduction in range will be very, very significant.

Diesel fuel has always been more expensive than petrol and diesel-engined vehicles more expensive than petrol-engined. But diesel-engined vehicles have advantages over petrol-engined ones. EVs are costlier to buy/lease though electricity is cheaper/mile than petrol and a more powerful fossil-fuelled car or EV will always be more expensive to run. Many people have been convinced by the climate change scam that, to save the planet, the use of fossil fuels must be stopped. Most EVs will necessarily be leased and the range of any EV will be very dependent on driving conditions. Stop-start-stop-start and use of acceleration capability together will have an instant impact and reduce the range massively. And driving like this at night and while it’s raining will get the user(s)... not far. The cost of a new battery system can be up to £5000 though the lifetime of a battery should be several years. If the car is driven carefully. One perceived benefit of an EV is that with roadside travel stops, equipment (portable electric cookers, kettles...) can be powered by the EV battery. But what is not mentioned is the impact on the EV’s range. A stop in transit may yield a surprise when a journey can no longer be completed. There’s not enough charge capacity remaining in the battery.

Electric cars may have already become accepted as the future of motoring but the ultimate wake-up call is yet to come. Unless reliance is put on public chargers there is a significant cost to having a home charger. Public charger = partial top-up and home (overnight) charging = full charge. The mix of time taken to charge with other considerations is complex. EV (home) chargers = £589 → £1099 (8 of the best home chargers). And if parking in the road is the only option… cable obstruction hazard and vulnerability considerations must be taken into account. A car cannot always be parked directly outside the home charger/power source. Almost half (44%) of all UK homes are unsuitable for electric car chargers (electric vehicle ownership). Charging law changes are new regulations and requirements aim to cover cybersecurity and tamper-protection of home charging devices. Road tax (31.12.2022 → future). More (élite-made) yokes tied very securely around the slaves’ collective neck.

Official climate change assertions have persuaded society to accept EVs as the only way forward to save the planet. More comprehensively discussed considerations are ignored. A top-of-the-range luxury (petrol/diesel) car will equate to a basic ‘cheap’ EV - around £30,000. To imagine most people will be able to afford to actually buy such a product is delusional. Leasing an EV is probably the only realistic way that the ‘average’ family man/woman could afford such a ‘necessity’. The cost = £15,000 → £30,000 and is an overnight increase of £15,000 = 100%. How will the wealthy be able to display their wealth by showing that they have bought outright (and not rented) their EV? A special number-plate or badge?

Buying a second-hand car

The sale of new petrol/diesel cars will be terminated in 2030. Hybrid cars and vans “that can drive a significant distance with no carbon (dioxide - DA) coming out of the tailpipe” until 2035 in the specious pursuit of the lunatic and unreachable net-zero scam. When will the sale of petrol/diesel be ‘outlawed’? Devices like lawnmowers (that are not electric - DA) and all other non-EV devices will doubtless be exempt. Except petrol/diesel cars. Oil will still be needed as a lubricant (moving parts of an EV will include wheels/bearings and the transmission of power. An electric ‘engine’ may be non-moving but many other components of an EV do require movement). Any clarity of thought shows that this is predictably unachievable in any form.
