Burning hydrocarbons. What about solar etc? You're not looking at any full picture. Deliberate I assume.
That's just pure rubbish. And I don't hope for any particular energy future. I'm just aware the future isn't petrol or diesel.
)Well, the old oil burner has gone to another life. A taxi, probably, and fair play to it: it served me well, for six years and 120 k. But, it was costing a fortune in BiK tax for me, and had more warning lights than a Ukrainian radar station......
Now in a EV rocket ship which took me from south brum to sunny staffs, out for a meal, and then a Leeds return trip....... without needing a charge
Half a tank's worth of diesel would have covered that, so about £30.
Gave it a charge overnight at home, for the princely sum of £4.60
One thing that occurred to me is that you say it's an 'old' diesel. Yes it is, 20 years old to be precise.
Wonder how long an EV will last. 10 years maximum before batteries are dead and not economical to replace. Poss few years less if the batteries haven't been treated well.
Yep, built in obsolesence with EV white goods. Don't knock those old oil burners!
The guy who was knowledgeably telling us how fitting non-genuine parts would invalidate your insurance (whilst simultaneously starting a thread on fitting a non-genuine cam cover...)
Ideal for those who spend their entire lives roaring around in vehicles all day and all night, and never actually living.
My car is worth 3 months of driving per fill, don't know how many miles. Does that mean I have no life too? When you have to resort to personal attacks, you have lost the argument.
Pity. With a slightly different attitude, you could have made some money out of him, registering on something like the GoPlugable or Plugshare, or a similar site, but whatever... Your flat, your rules...Or ideal for those who can drive their vehicles on and off for many weeks without constantly faffing around with apps, chargers and leaving cables lying around for people to fall over.
My Dad has a couple of flats he rents out. Ground floor one is empty at present. It has a forecourt at front that is private property where his tenants can park a couple of cars. Other day I turned up to do some work there and found an Indian tenant from the flats next door parked on this private forecourt - 2 feet from front door of the flat.. He was charging his EV with a cable from his front window. When I explained that the forecourt is private and he was also blocking the front door, he complained that it was the only way he could charge his car and only wanted to park there one day a week.
Told him in no uncertain terms to do one. Some people really haven't thought out the whole EV ownership thing, and I wondered if he was typical of the mentality of EV owners who have rushed into this technology.
Why do you even own a car if it's used that little?
