2035 is when a European petrol and diesel ban comes in ..and us ,on this wokey pokey little island will be affected as well..something about a decarbonisation bollox..
So esteemed members of CF...should I start saving for my little electric piece of crap now then... and pray roughly how much are these battery operated modus of transport..?
My advice ,get out ,get fishing as much as possible,..I blame that Greta Thunberg ,yeah it's all her fault....so it tis...

For sure...
What about those who.live rural like me...don't think Western National would be to pleased dealing with a miserable old bugger and a load of minimal carp kit on a bus..unless I got a trolley like that young chap on YouTube who has a channel ,forgot his name fishes all those dodgy urban places..
So he does...!
Ps framey, it does affect us ,as we've signed up to this "decarbonisation'..bow locs, which is a similar thing according to info on visor down.!

It's 2030 for the UK, unless they change their mind.
But it's the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans they're stopping, you can still use any existing cars and will still be able to buy secondhand petrol and diesel vehicles.

Yes Ged I heard this as well..things are certainly 'accelerating "..as you say things can change ...
I wonder if my petrol carpmobile ,will.be my last petrol car.?
Every advert it seems push push EV,...but for the average working man they might not be able to afford to buy a battery operated piece of crap..lol
But then ,the cynic in me....or should I say the obvious,they want us out of our cars ..
Oh well...

By then
We will all be fishing by AR ( is that what they call it ) as real fishing will be banned
It will cost more to charge up your car than it does To fill it up with petrol/diesel unless you have a windmill on the top
Aga khan will be president of London
The new rod craze will be 2foot long rods so transport won't be any worry at all

Framey and Tony...I bet you'll have seen those ice rods ..
Yeah that is the future,fits in your pocket ,plus ...you'll have an AI implant that will tell.you where the fish are...also ,your doppelganger AI clone will go home to.pork the Mrs ,proboscis style..and you'll be down the virtual lake necking 'pure water'from a watercourse used by millions of people ,yeah sounds great ..!
Yeah the future looks great...in my job ...cos I'm a pleb.,so I am...already the properties have been modified to accept EV ,garbage..you know the elites..!!
Whether people will be allowed out to.play is another matter....
I jest as always ,but ...think.on ..

To be fair peak oil happened a while ago so other options had to be looked at. Electric seems the way forward at the moment. I know Toyota were looking into an hydrogen motor!
As for electric cars, not all that meets the eye form an environmental perspective, battery's for one!
My mrs is a cop, went on a training course the other week, how to deal with battery powered cars that are on fire and in summary there ain't much you can do. Tesla arrange their own breakdown service and the cars are then placed in a water tank for 12 hours to prevent them reigniting!

I don't believe oil peaked at all.......I do however believe burning oil is not that great for the environment in the amount it is.......the reason for the 15 year delay is the investors who invest 10-15yrs into the future so once again it all about money for the wealthy!
Electric cars are ***** and the whole process to produce them! We need development in hydrogen and other technologies that are cheaper but we know that's not the direction THEY want to go in!

""Electric cars are ***** and the whole process to produce them!""
No different to the process used to produce batteries for your mobile phone, tablet, laptop or battery tools so why have a problem with solely electric cars? Very odd.

Google peak oil if you don't know, it's about oil resourcing

Electric cars the future, no I don't think so they remind me of Betamax a great idea but when it comes to disposal of used batteries (as you just can't bury them in landfill).
Perhaps hydrogen but again it really is too early to say
2/3 new planned all new charging points in the UK are in London that great if you live in London eh.
Not everyone can charge from home and most homes are limited to 7kW meaning no fast charging so car would have be left on charge all night, what if you've two EVs or don't have a drive..
Electrification is costing car makers billions, European economy's are struggling with little growth over the next few years, UK car manufacturing is in the toilet outpaced by the rest of the world.
And they are just too expensive.
I paid over 45K for a hybrid didn't go full electric as there just isn't the infrastructure. The EV I looked at was 60k. Plus the sums don't add up with the high cost of energy.
Maybe China will step in (to our rescue) and deliver those affordable electric as let's be honest they are the market leaders for EV.
And the other thing EVs weigh a ton and funnily enough the roads where I live are in the worst state they've ever been....no one strangely ever mentions that...
I can see 2030 getting pushed out...it's a bit like broadband to rural areas how late was that 😂
