Are we being forced to go electric?

[Alex321]

And those are equally unnecessary for most people

They are. But for those who do need such vehicles, they will be available in EV form reasonably soon.

That's not a counter argument. You don't NEED to do 0-60 in sub 4 secs

Not EV related but speed, why related.

I have to smile at our local driving instructor, he teaches learners in a Hyundai I20N, top speed 143 mph, 0-60 mph, 6 seconds! Why!!

There’s learner Electric Jag F pace which will be. 2 seconds quicker.
I like the way this thread has gone. For me I want to I/C it for 3 years to see where we are at then. We were almost signed up for the Pole star 2 but grey fleet couldn’t supply as we were about £20 off from been approved. I think the structure may have been changed. Moving the goal posts slightly but we dithered around for too long.

I wonder if he thinks it attracts clients ? Ridiculously over specced.

Presumably he uses it himself when not instructing though?

- but not the XL version sadly.

Maybe. I have a friend who is a DI - he never uses his Learner car for personal business though.

Probably because that is the car he owns.

Because it's a great car for learner drivers.

I've found a great reason for me not to buy an EV .... I don't have a driving licence, and to join in with the anti's for a change, this proves no one else should buy one either. Cor being 'against' is so much easier.

 

[biggs682]

I would never countenance paying £25k for a used car!

Same here I would think twice on anything over 6k .
So ev's are going to be waiting a long time before we convert.

Exactly, as the sticker on the back of my Disco said, "You can go fast, I can go anywhere"

 

[DRM]

You don't often need to get out of a muddy field. Use a carpark, that's what the regular travellers do🤣

The question was about towing ability, with a caravan, which frankly is shoot, not drag racing or parking up solo in a car park

 

[MrGrumpy]

Why "nor should there be"?

I presume there is some reason for that statement, not just a case of you don't want them around?

Well I don’t recall a fuel station being discussed for us who drive “bad” cars
