I'd like to know, how are people living flats/high rises etc going to be able charge their vehicles, chuck leads over every balcony?

Because swapping leads and getting a free charge/electric supply wouldn't happen ?

Not just flats plenty of people don't have off road parking.

However the car manufacturers are looking at batteries that can be removed and charged in the house. Just how easy they are to remove and how heavy they are remains to be seen.

They’ll come with 3 free blokes to help you lift the things.

I've been banging on about this for a while.

The eco zealots who disrupt the lives of ordinary people should take note of this article.

If they want the public to support them go after the big corporate polluters:

Yes to this and I also like the counter group set up to confront the Just Stop Oil lot, that's the 'Just Stop P***ing Everybody Off' group. Great stuff.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I haven't seen any 'Just Stop Oil' protesters in the US of A, Russia, Iraq or Saudi Arabia. Just saying,...

Or more conveniently (using less airmiles), why not outside their London Embassies ?

The Saudi embassy might invite them in for a nice cup of tea.

Greta Thunberg has been making a fool of herself again. Arrested and all proud of the fact. Seeking martyrdom.

Just like many self-important Narcissists of History.

How society made her the poster-girl of all the Climate Change b..llox is a mystery to me.

Like most activists she has nothing constructive to add to the climate change conversation, just another attention seeker.

Yesterday Sky had a couple in the TV studio and guess what they played up.

If the media ignored these people they would soon stop starved of the oxygen of publicity.

This full conversion to electric is never going to happen for various reasons, but here’s one practical problem-

Let’s say the average fuel stop for a petrol or diesel vehicle is 6 minutes. So, each pump can service 10 clients per hour. Say an average of 6 pumps per filling station, that’s 60 clients per hour.

Let’s say an average electric charge, 20 to 80 percent on a super fast charger is 30 mins. Therefore each charger can service 2 clients per hour.

So in order to maintain the same throughput, each station will have to replace 6 fossil fuel pumps with 30 electric charging points.

Not going to happen, is it?

The chance of it happening is far, far larger than it not at this stage. You're ignoring several things here such as improvement in charging infrastructure and battery charge times, range and so on. We haven't peaked in that regard, nowhere near it.

Rapid charging will and is developing as it is the holy grail... get things down to a 5 minute charge (or less) and there's little difference to todays refuelling. Not to mention that not all charging would be empty > full. Pretty quickly makes your scenario moot

The thing that has to be done is to time peak affordability and availability with peak charging accessibility. If that is off then yes, there will be problems... but at this point for anyone to stick their neck out and say that electric cars won't be the main form of personal transport in the future is counter to the reality.

I think you're right that full electrification won't be the case though outside of the consumer space – heavy machinery and some commercial vehicles will most likely continue to use diesel etc. for sometime, then change over to something like hydrogen. Similar trajectory for planes, shipping etc. Although even with that battery tech will continue to improve so who knows in 50 years time.

Hybrids are dead in the water, as is consumer level hydrogen. Both massively inefficient and impractical long term when compared with full electric.

It's because it's very hard for anyone to, or be seen to, tell a child to f**k off with their nonsense.

She is no longer a child and therefore only still in the frame as a result of the previous status quo.

If she had emerged as an adult nobody would have given her the time of day or cared, not to the extent they have anyway.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
