Bye Bye Petrol N Diesel

[ChrisG]

Another political pipe dream, wont be holding my breath 

 

I'm sure people said the same about emissions limits but all cars sold in the UK have been Euro6 compliant for for a couple of years now (or capable of getting thought the test at least... I've got one of those lying VAG diesels  )

 



 

Volvo have recently said all their cars will be electric or hybrid by 2020, most other major manufacturers are heading the same way, by 2040 I'll be surprised if there are that many petrol/diesel cars on sale anyway.  Of course that will start to be a problem for people still using older petrol/diesel vehicles as the petrol stations close down to lack of customer.

 

Generating capacity will be a problem, but then again the majority will be charging at night when there's surplus capacity anyway, but at the moment that surplus means electricity is cheaper at night, I'm guessing that won't last as electric cars become more commonplace.
