Had an EV transit van today as a courtesy motor. It had a massive 😉 130 mile range…. 130 miles??? Is that it?? What a waste of time. Probably great for local round the houses deliveries but it takes the versatility away from it.

I'm striking a blow for the environment, today I unplugged a whole row of EV's that nobody was using.

There are vehicles which have trouble meeting the minimum standards, and there are others which easily far exceed the minimum standard. I'm off to drive my 1960s Morris. It's got no NCAP rating, but that's fine. |

Now I'm off to drive my 1970's Triumph which might be safer than your 1960's Morris as it has a seat belt reminder light.

The fact that "batteryhead" or "electricityhead" doesn't have the same ring to it that "petrolhead"does
Talking of NCAP ratings,pretty much everyone I talk to is agreed that driving standards are deteriorating quite badly.Are all these safety systems at least in part to blame in as much as people are more and more reliant on the car saving them/getting them out of trouble rather than avoiding trouble by driving better in the first place? |

I'd suggest "Motorhead", only it's my understanding that it may already be in use elsewhere..
