Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

It's going to happen either way. The car companies are moving in that direction and the flexibility it gives to government energy policy is appealing as well. People are arguing as if this isn't already the path we're on. Maybe a government can come in and mandate we scale back plans to implement electric stations and promote petrol but it would be the same as a government coming in attempting to promote the post over e-mail. This is the path technology is taking.

The problem isn't charging stations but generating the energy. Governments need to look at that. We need more nuclear power plants, we need to look at integrating more solar energy into the network.

Our future energy plans for the future have not exactly been great these last 40 years have they?.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

but then if i wanted an electric vehicle i would already own one . i don't and have no plans to buy one , anyway a future government might scrap the idea as an unattainable pipe dream .

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

Future governments may not have a choice.

If there is a general move to electric and hybrid cars across the world, then it's very unlikely that car manufactures would continue to build full petrol or diesel cars for a single market. That's irrespective of what sort of trading relationship with have with countries.

So we can either look to move in the same direction and the government can ensure that we have the appropriate infrastructure, or we can ignore it, and wonder why we have a limited car market.

But I won't be old before my time :rolleyes:.
Spot on. We can't resist the irresistible especially when it makes perfect sense. We should be on this course now not in 20 years time.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

hybrids i could go for [petrol/diesel and electric ] but full electric i don't see it

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

A good start papa; it shows willing. But full electric will happen and I think you'll look back at the old days of ridiculous combustion pollution and think "omg". Do it for the little smurfs :).
