More data to show that lifetime emissions of EVs are up to 70% less than ICE. There are now multiple surveys to confirm this. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

'Today's latest EV sales figures for April highlight two trends.
Firstly, EVs continue to steadily eat away at petrol and diesel's share of cars on UK roads.
But secondly, we are simply not seeing the rapid rise towards mass uptake that has been the hallmark of the last few…

New car sales figures for April out from SMMT. Things that jump out for me:

Sales of cars with a battery are rising

Here's a real issue we are seeing time and time again.

I did a repair on a local ladies Renault Zoe today. She'd been quoted £1203 to have a 'Danger Electrical Failure' warning lamp issue resolved, a new door hinge, a water ingress issue resolved and 2 x TPMS sensors.

What it…

It’s a fairly common misconception that maintaining an old petrol car is better for the environment than switching to a new EV

It’s not

Switching from an ‘old banger’ to a new EV sees reduced CO2 emissions after 20k-32k of driving

A few hours left to vote👇🙏

A reminder that every petrol car burns 12.5 tons of the earth's resources over its lifetime

An EV, meanwhile, is increasingly powered by renewables

So no, EVs are not 'far heavier on the planets resources'

Quite the opposite in fact

Data from Germany (I’m guessing the German version of the AA?)

3 year old EVs over two times less likely to break down than 3 year old petrol/diesel cars

Unsurprising really - there’s a lot more to go wrong in an internal combustion engine than an electric motor

The Co-op has put millions into new venue #CoopLive but can't spare any money to get fast-growing Frankenchickens out of their supply chain. Co-op must do right by their members and millions of birds, and end this unnecessary cruelty #CrueltyAtTheCoop

Although everything we build has the capacity to go wrong (EV's are not indestructible) compared to our historical combustion experiences EV's have proved way more reliable and exciting over the 250,000+ electric miles we've done so far. 🚗😀

And just like that Tesla Charging becomes one of the Biggest and Cheapest Fast Charging operators of the UK
