The real cost of EVs

[Barry Townsend]

There seems to be a misconception about the 'silence' of EV's

Both of mine emit a engine type sound up to about 15/20 mph, anything above that speed is of no use.
If your relative is profoundly deaf then a vulcan bomber would not be heard!

Every so called bad point about EV's has been blown out of all proportion and like it or not they are the future. Last night i watched an old film about the early history of the motor car, focusing on early Austins, and the comments of the public then were akin to those of today regarding the noisy, smelly and expensive motor car.

If anyone is interested check out youtube and you'll find EV's with 200,000 miles + on the original battery and still going strong. Probably because the owners have done the same as their ICE counterparts and looked after their cars.  Some manufacturers are guaranteeing their batteries for 10 years so it's a fairly safe assumption that they will last far longer.

I'm an old git of 75 years and I've learnt, over the years, to make my own mind up and not be over influenced by the media.

I think I need a lie down!
