I think at the time our wonderful government were trying to force us all to drive diesels but they have now realised that diesel fuel is no good for the environment or people's health either so they are now trying to price those off the road and they only want electric cars available in a few years time.
Unfortunately, because as usual they have forgotten to remove their blinkers no consideration has been given to where the electricity comes from to recharge all of these cars. It ain't all coming from solar panels or wind turbines trust me!
The other issue is that unless we can all afford a Tesla, "normal" electric cars with contemporary technology only run for 100 miles and we do not all live in cities with charging points in every street says the man from rural Norfolk. We have only just discovered broadband over here!
Just when you thought the rant was over
