My crappy Contax TVS Digital gets a regular airing

Two totally different shots from the Leicasonic V-LUX today while photographing an old church...

Yes.

So why are you replying to this?

That is a big issue for many. As I said earlier there is an economic principle of pitching the price of something at what the market will bear. Whatever is an acceptable price per mile is what the ev car owners will be charged one way or another. The country needs to recoup revenue on fuel by...

That's about the same as our 2008 Octavia 1.9td and 2010 Honda CR-V D-TECH using synthetic oil and having all the filters changed. We had the Octavia for 11 years and over 120k miles without anything other than a wheel bearing change. The Honda that I have had for 5 years and over 100k miles...

Selective reasoning is fine for you, but its just a lazy way of not accepting the whole situation.

If you consider the environmental issues as a whole including the manufacturing, not just the exhaust emmissions, then they have a point. And when you consider that the UK Government will levy extra charges against evs to offset losses in fuel duty then I wouldn't be surprised if the running...

I find it rather tiresome when the little blue man and others try to make out that they are somehow superior to the rest of us because they now drive an ev and that we are either stupid for not buying one or are sabotaging the environment. The reason 30% of new vehicle sales are evs is down to...

No one that I know disputes the progression towards evs is a good thing. But the ev zealots are living in cloud cuckoo land if they think that UK ev sales of 30% are purely driven by choice. They are only that high because of a lack of choice!

I put a link to the UK Government policy about restrictions on the sale of ice vehicles earlier in the thread. Other countries have similar quotas for ice .v. ev sales.

Head in the sand or head in the clouds? If as some say that confidence in evs is growing why don't sales of evs exceed the minimum % that is dictated by government policies? The only reason that evs are at 30% is because manufacturers are restricted to only producing 70% ice vehicles. The...

Currently the manufacturers are restricted to making 70% of all vehicles ice. The sales of electric vehicles is 30% meaning that the 70% allowance for ice cars is sold out. Yet the sales of evs consistently only manages at best the artificial market share imposed by governments in Europe. There...

Once again you don't seem to understand the issue. :rolleyes: If the Government are restricting the sales of petrol cars to 70% of the whole market then it should be no surprise to see that electric vehicle sales are 30%. What the little blue man and you don't get is that if the demand for...

Yes, because it is true. Manufacturers cannot sell as many ice cars that demand warrants because of restrictions governing how many they can sell as a percentage of ev sales. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1l1yj0zd9no It is not because there is a big demand for electric cars. Many...
