You can't buy an EV with a range of 200 miles or more for the price that most people pay for cars -- esp. 2nd hand.

And moreover, the range will diminish as the battery deteriorates.

@LukePollard doesn't know what he's talking about.

He is deceiving the public.

This article points out that out-of-the-box, top-of-the-range EVs are only producing 80-90% of their manufacturers' stated range.

I will *never* be able to afford one of those cars. And like most people, I rely on the second (or more) hand market. I've never paid more than £2,000 for a car. My current is an '05, which will in all likelihood last me until it is banned.

So when I hear MPs who talk so glibly about saving the planet, or 'changing behaviour', but whose agenda has never been tested democratically, & who will walk from politics into nice little earners at taxpayer-funded NGOs, I want them to be put on a ship that sails off forever.
