The real cost of EVs

[Reckless Rat]

I took my now nearly 22yrs old Diesel Merc to the centre yesterday for its bi-annual French MOT. Passed, no advisories as it always has despite its advancing years and 300K km on the clock. I think I'm being very environmentally friendly because had I still been working I would probably have bought another new one every 3 years so the amount of carbon I have saved by not doing so must be enormous. I also don't use it much so it only did 5K km over the past two years, most if that on the motorway cruising at 120kph and returning over 60mpg. I dont suffer from range anxiety either as it will happily do 1200km on a tank. Notwithstanding the Eco warriors would have me hung drawn and quartered but whatever. It will no doubt see me out, and I really dont want to go anywhere theres a ULEZ anyway. Bonne journée !
