There has been a good article published by the Brown Car Guy (SHAHZAD SHEIKH) on the current problems of car manufacturers under the title “Car Industry in Crisis”. It covers the trend to electric vehicles which has seen a major slow-down of late. The initial enthusiasm for electric vehicles is fading as the economics of them in terms of initial cost, repair costs and insurance are proving very unattractive to many buyers.
The Government surely needs to recognise that there will be major opposition to the outright ban on IC vehicles that is coming and they are already being made more expensive by Government regulation.

Absolutely. Many people, especially pensioners, have invested in IC vehicles to see them through. Our State Pension is only enough to cover basics and there is little left over to buy New Technology or buy services at this century ‘living wage’. It is only the rich working population who can buy electric vehicles!
