On paying better attention to Bojangles announcement regarding electrickery powered cars, I see that in fifteen years the sale of non electrickery cars will be banned but not banned from being used. Is that right? Seems so.
May I humbly suggest that all parents of young kids start encouraging them to work towards a career as automotive mechanics as an awful lot of owners of non-lecky cars are going to do all they can to keep ‘em on the road. That is, of course, unless Bojangles has a cunning plan to tax all non-lecky transport into total unaffordability.
An interesting piece can be found here a bit of wot’s below;
“At a local level, we require massive amounts of new infrastructure to be built to support electric cars.
We will need at least 25 million new roadside charging points — the equivalent of installing 4,000 new ones a day, starting yesterday — with roads and pavements having to be ripped up in the process which will, of course, create plumes of emissions.
And where on earth will the electricity needed come from?More than a third of Britons commute by car. Imagine, in 2035 and beyond, each of those motorists arriving home at night and hurriedly plugging in their vehicles at around the same time.
Malcolm McCulloch, head of Oxford University's Energy and Power group, has warned that the National Grid will need another 20 gigawatts of generating capacity — double the amount currently generated by all the UK's nuclear power stations — to cope.
The Engineer magazine says that charging an electric car at home with a medium-speed charger is like 'leaving the electric shower on all night. If just a few people in a street decided to do that, it'd blow the local distribution fuse.'”
And imagine the chaos on they ‘Smart Motorways’ when a whole slew of ‘em simultaneously get, ‘WARNING; Battery about to go below low. Charge NOW.’
Quote; Vinod Khosla.
“Electric cars are coal-powered cars. Their carbon emissions can be worse than gasoline-powered cars.”
