EVs have now gone through 3 doublings of unit sales volumes, and are well through the 4th. 8 doublings = all EVs.
The increases in scale mean that battery tech for EVs now costs 10% of what it did a decade ago.

It’s not that the predictions are wrong - it’s that the effects are slow to come through. Pretty much, it takes 100-110 years for the effects of any given level of CO2 to come through (although 2/3rds of the effects will be seen inside of 40 years).

If we went carbon-neutral, around the entire world, today, the effects…

Not only is there 250kW Tesla Supercharging, there’s 400kW CCS.

Renault have moved to CCS already.

Yep

I’ve already started pricing crash-damaged Fiat 500e’s - I reckon it could be a (relatively) easy transplant into my 100hp.  It should make it about 10% faster, and its not like the petrol range was huge to begin with...

The I-Pace is the most personality-laden EV, imo.  Having driven them all (bar the Model 3, which has only just made it to the UK), it’s the one that makes me want to have it as a driving machine, and not a transport appliance.

The Ford Southampton plant has stopped making vehicles.
The Ford Dagenham plant has stoppped making vehicles.
The Ford Bridgend plant is about to close.

Ford moved production to Germany because they reckoned that Germany didn;t buy enough Fords, and that Ford was seen as so British in the UK that it would make no…

The Qashqai is built and substantially designed and engineered in the UK. The Mini is built in the UK, and the 1st gen was engineered in the UK.

So... what you’re saying is that carbon taxes are the way to go?

There are already major developed nations that have the majority of their power from zero-carbon sources.

The question is, why isn’t the USA one of them?

I’ve got one, and for me, the Ford gets those things right. The Toyota’s B-pillar is quite wide, relative to the total aperture size. The Ford’s in non-existent. The Ford gives excellent access to the rear seats, while giving much better access to the front seats than any typical car (no B-pillar is extremely useful…

350 kilometres. Could be an insurance limit.

The Ford B-Max. A Fiesta with slidey doors and no B-pillar.  The front passenger sear also folds flat.

If you really want to wait 30 seconds for your rear door to open or close, then the 1007 is the car for you.  I got a Panda (Mk2) instead.  The Renault Modus got very close.

There is Tesla’s standard - used by most Teslas. Capable of fast charging availabale now and high power charging beginning rollout.

And even then, teh tunnels are still larger than the subway tunnels for the London Piccadilly line , or the Glasgow subway system.

Roald Dalhl even had his own twist-ending tv series

And so do Jaguar.

BMW#s boss was talking in the context of Mini - Mini parts can cross from the UK to rEU up to 4 times prior to final assembly.
