    Not at the moment due to the high cost of the car, problems with insurance and the cost of servicing, I will continue in my scabby wee Clio.

    For sure having a charger in my garage is huge. I absolutely love driving my Mustang Mac E EV and if I was in the market for a new car this year I would be right back down to buy another one.

    McLarens, Bentleys, and Aston Martins are spared from the EV mandate

    A direct consequence of Trump acting like a bull in a China shop, nothing else.

    A previous poster said they stayed in a flat so did Patrick Harvey the greeny was he going to have a cable pinned up the wall on expenses?Seriously research shows these Heavier vehicles are causing more damage to the roads than tractors and in some area lorries.I know that unless I am really unlucky my Insignia will be theer in the morning quite a few people have had devastating fires caused by car batteries exploding sometimes impacting houses and I have seen a few cars burning at the side off motorways.

    Fair enough. I've never had a problem. I assume my EV hatchback is probably lighter than most of those awful SUVs people drive (EV or not). And I've never seen a burning EV car. From guys at work using the same scheme I've never heard of any issues either.
