You were never a fan of the good ol' (electric) trolleybus then Taf? Or the sexy (electric) milk float? We've dabbled for donkeys years with this stuff; time to get serious. A less poisonous legacy is the least we can do.

we used to have those in cleethorpes when i was a nipper they were replaced by leyland diesel buses

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

That's because back then diesel was cheaper than electricity.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

I loved the old trolleybuses, but not the huge infrastructure of overhead cabling they needed. And I drove an electric milk float for a short while (pocket money job) but didn't like the daily battery battery-acid testing and top-ups before putting it on charge for 18 hours a day.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

Well there you go, the tech has moved on since the neolithic period so electric will be second nature to you :)

Of course! They'll also be fitted with ultra-modern "Fellatio" Italian-designed, vertical, drop-down beds so you can have a nap en route. :D

Try leaving your car parked on the street every night charging your battery and see how long it is before some chav interferes with it.

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

what car do you drive now ??

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

It's locked in so long as the car is locked. They could screw with it but they could do the same with your tyres now.

Fiesta

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

so when do you think you will buy your first electric car

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

Dunno. Like my cars to last a long time but I've just gotten this one so the next car I get should be electric IMO. 2025ish maybe? Who knows, depends on circumstances.

Maybe it might even be a Tesla: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/model3 :drool:

Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban.
 

i think the tesla is the only one worth looking at at the moment the others have a lot of catching up to do imo .
