They live by a narrow road so parking is very limited time wise .
i am getting the feeling that some time people don't like change.
I hate change, but I do realise that it is one of life’s inevitabilities. I really don’t want to give up my ICE cars but sadly I’ll have no choice, but as a life long car and bike fanatic it isn’t a direction I really want to go in.

They're still cars, but much cleaner.

Yep. I can understand that. Just one day up a tree using a electric chainsaw without breathing fumes constantly has changed my line of thought.
All uphill

Road vehicles should still look like this.
None of this new-fangled petrol engines. Coal is available everywhere from good Welsh mines, but petrol has to be imported.
Probably said by my grandfather.
It’s the early adopters continually eulogising about them that instantly puts me off

Well I'm not going to lie about them.
Have you thought that maybe - just maybe- they are better than petrol?
That's a fair point, but all we are doing is answering questions about them and debunking the myths that get put around.
If it weren't people who don't like change posting nonsense we wouldn't need to keep on posting.
At the end of the day, the easiest way to decide if you are ready for the change is to go for a test drive or hire one for a couple of days.
No they’re not, met up with my BIL today and he’s had three years with an Audi E-tron, he’s changing it for an RS4 avant, he just doesn’t feel that the infrastructure works for him.
Yes I can understand that. I’m an advocate but at the moment the proposition is not quite strong enough for the next wave of adopters. It will happen, it’s just how quickly.
Probably also the fact that the 2019 E-Tron was not an especially good EV:
CONS
- Inefficient, heavy and expensive
- Very unimpressive range
- UK fast-charging network issues
If you have the readies why not ? I’d love an RS4 Avant . Totally inappropriate and financial ruin lol . YOLO :-D
