What a load of nonsense. Pooling CO2 emissions, dear dear! I should have pooled my sap calcs then on the house we built instead of having to comply with the 38 page drivel . We were off gas grid and had to put a combi boiler in that was diagonally at the opposite side of the house so run loads of water before hot comes out of the tap . I wanted to put a boiler that fed a smart tank in a large cupboard next to the bathroom. More sense, also asked if I could put an electric boiler in but was told my carbon emissions would be off the scale! So I asked why we would have to have an electric car then and the reply was a deafening silence. All this from a person who has written 3 books of nonsence , has a PHD and advises the Scottish government. How stupid can we get that our car makers are having to pool CO2 (all in theory of course) and are we having to ship it over to the Tesla factory for them to dispose of it?. Why not just ship it all over to China to let it be absorbed within theirs!! |

They have also announced an all electric FFRR to be introduced in 2024, which indicates that the new FFRR in its various guises may have problems in the hybrid versions, the rage at present is only 62miles and the design is a bit Disco 5ish which doesn't bode well for sales my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I think Land Rover are pinning their hopes on Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology to allow them to run their large heavy cars over reasonably long distances with 'Zero' emmisions.

As an aside I now have an EV tariff for my electricity. I don't have an EV but I do have a Smart Meter. I am with Bulb and have Economy 7 (some storage heaters) and no gas where I live. So they offer me an EV tariff which looks OK to me see numbers below, I asked if I could have this without an EV and they said yes so I switched. All charges are lower, I can't see a catch in this but I wonder if it's really about getting gas users off a fixed deal?

Gawd help us.... most of us here run cheap-ish, reliable-ish diesels. Mine will go 450+ miles and takes 3 or 4 minutes to 're-charge' - after that, off we go again.

Aston Martin tried a similar trick to average out their range of vehicles' CO2 emissions by producing the Aston Martin Cygnet.

Glassman, don’t even get me started on ULEZ introduced by Sadiq Khan on Monday on the pretext of cutting down on pollution in London. £12:50 a day unless you’re compliant, fines if you transgress and don’t or forget to pay. Yet to see how he’s spending all his new revenue stream in cutting down on pollution - building a giant bubble over the zone?

JLR paid Tesla £37m to pool CO2 to avoid a £89m fine.

We both stand on the scales & pool our weight. Looks good for me.

After the few times I've done it, cycling on London's roads is not for the faint hearted . Certainly not something I'd want to do daily, in rush hour traffic. Jules |

Bulb have been going bust for a few weeks. Four other small companies went down yesterday.However they have just informed me that all prices are going up 25% next month. At this rate I won't be able to afford an EV anyway. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
