I agree we need to do something, we need to get away from mass ICE, but I'm not convinced electric is the answer.
Charging isn't even good now, there is no way we will be anywhere near ready in 2030 for the ban on sales of ICE cars. I took this in October at Gretna Services, Teslas queueing just to use the chargers, at Christmas it was over 2 hours at South Mimms just to get on a charger.
Also, whats going to be the environmental damage to fit chargers all over the UK, from start to finish of the entire cycle from manufacture to fitting. Also, its 2 million litres of water to mine a ton of lithium, whats the long term damage this is causing to Peru
Regardless of whatever technology is the future, there is going to be environmental impact, you simply cant get away from it, the way some people talk its as though removing oil and gas from the ground was carbon neutral and no-one is allowed to bring that up.
Theres always going to be instances of people queuing for fuel - not so long ago how long were people queuing at petrol stations?
waiting 2 hours at a tesla site isn't the norm, i've had an EV for 3 years and the longest i've had to wait for a free charger is about 15 mins, 99% of the time i'm straight in because on my display ( for Tesla sites) it tells me how many chargers are available to use. So if its says none, i avoid that charging station and go to the next.
I know some people will always be 'never EV' and thats fine but the arguments against them are getting fewer and fewer and that seems to make them worse. Not much we can do about that.
