As per title,JLR have announced that they will only produce Electric vehicles for sale in the UK.FFS they have had soo much success with their other models from the p38 onwards

Got to keep the greenies happy

Look whats happening in Texas, no electricity cos all the wind turbines are frozen. Thats the way forward

Colthebrummie · Feb 18, 2021

Ford have jumped on the bandwagon now, they are saying they will be all electric by 2030. I'm not sure what that will do to second hand values in say 5 years time. Maybe everyone will rush to buy a ICE car before they stop making them. Prices of defenders went through the roof when they ceased production.

Yep I agree not really an EV fan myself..

But it is an inevitability unfortunately, still got a few years of P38'ing to go though

They are fast i've driven one, they do become boring after a while once you're used to the acceleration

The seats are an issue, very hard which ain't good the one I drove had sports seast or somesuch and when I got in my feet slipped and I landed bollocks first on one of the rock hard bolsters..

It's the bottles rattling in the crates that annoy me.

Aye

The stigma of owning one is enough to put me off

Can you imagine all these electric cars parked in a road of terraced houses with wires across the pavement and better still,everyone comming home from work,plug car in,kettle and heating etc on.Where do they thing the electricity is comming from,renewable is great but can you produce enough?
I kinow NUCLEAR but wait,that take 20 years to build a new station!!!!!
What happens when you come to sell your 3 year old electric car which probably needs a battery change,better to give it away and cut your loss.
Me I prefer my V8

Paul Wootton · Feb 18, 2021

Just thought,you go on a run off road with your new electric 4x4 and the battery goes flat,call AA and they ask where you are,try to explain that you are on a green lane about 3 miles off the main road.Just love to see their reply.

The answer has to be find a way of generating the the power needed to propel the car on the car, a liquid could be kept in a tank and topped up when needed and be burnt in some way to generate the power

oakey · Feb 18, 2021

What a damned good idea I just wish someone would invent one

pete12345 · Feb 18, 2021

You say about living in terraced house what about the poor sods living in tower blocks somebody down stairs charging there car on your charge spot

Paul Wootton · Feb 18, 2021

Good Point perhaps they will be supplied with very long leads

Hydrogen is the way forward. The batteries for EV are a nightmare for the environment and most electric is still from fossil fuels.

Colthebrummie · Feb 19, 2021

I had relatives who lived in a tower block, I don't know how many flats there were but it was 24 floors. There only seemed space outside for about 20 cars. God knows where everyone parked.

And then there's the environmental impact of all the lithium mines for batteries, and copper mines for the upgraded electrical supplies. They are simply moving the pollution somewhere else.

Lampposts are too far apart to provide sensible charging points, so I'm sure there will be extension leads down lots of streets !!

Would still like to see what happened to that EV P38 after the Irish fella on YouTube returned it to the real owner.

people will be towing generators behind their range rovers
