Ah yes, I do remember preferring the electrical horse back then.

I'm not entirely against EVs but they're simply not ready for me yet. I think an actual usuable 300 mile range would be enough for me which we're probably approaching quite soon. The biggest problem though is the cost and complete lack of nice estate car EVs. £10k is usually my budget for a new car and I very rarely pay that.

Three times I read "cats are like horses", and was wracking my brain trying to figure out the analogy...

everyone has known evs are just better for some time now. the real obstacle to switching isn't the charging network or cost. it's oil and gas lobbying and oil and gas subsidies.

stop all oil subsidies today. stop the big oil lobbyists. then let's see how fast the switch happens
