As long as you're alright and feel good about yourself, that's the main.
Well said, and very pleased you're so satisfied with yourself. Good on you.
Are we being forced to go electric?

What the heck is that monstrosity whose owner can't park ? Not even it's mother could love that surely?
Well... {takes deerstalker off]...
That plate is in Norway. A quick search of the Norweigian vehicle register reveals that it is the
FAW EHS9 or Hongqi EHS9. Costs £50,000 to £63,000 (in Norway - £75k to £92k elsewhere). That one is pretty much brand new having been registered in April 2022.

Looks like a poor man's Bentley copy, does 300 mile on a charge, allegedly!

I guess if it costs upward of 50k its going to be quite correct. Would not want to be pissing customers off.

I see Audi have entered an electric vehicle in the Paris - Dakar rally.
Unfortunately due to the distance of each stage it can't complete a stage.
However, they have overcome this by going back to old technology whereby they have a petrol engine fitted to the car running all the time and recharging the batteries.
Apparently though, although quite low on emissions this is not an acceptable solution for governments.

That's roughly the same size as the latest model long wheelbase Range Rover and slightly heavier!

Same as GM did with the Chevrolet Volt/Vauxhall Ampera of about 10 years ago.

Yes, they are the cars they have apparently modelled this on, but the technology is not acceptable apparently, even if it is more practical, not having to stop to charge.

And, if I remember correctcly, Audi were also adding to their environmentally freindly credentials by recycling their old 2 litre DTM engines to do the battery charging for the Dakar earlier this year

So, is the morale of the story, if you want to go electric get one with a petrol engine to charge it 😊

These vans use the same principle, 64 miles battery range, with a 1.5 litre petrol engine to charge the battery, giving 319 miles range, they call it a range extender, marketing BS for an on board generator

The Taxi appears to have the option of a petrol or diesel generator

Because it is still emitting gasses and messing up the planet - the one that is currently cooking.
