I Have Never, Ever, Been Even Remotely Connived,

that all electric cars are the way forward,


photograph Reuters, from the inhuman way materials for the batteries are sourced, to all of the hype about how cheap they are to run, and just yesterday I read this, and I quote from the article:

·                    Reuters says EVs are written off for having just scratches on battery packs

                     It warned damaged battery packs are 'piling up in scrapyards in some countries'

                     A US manufacturing expert said a Tesla Model Y's battery has 'zero reparability'



experts are saying batteries in expensive Tesla Y SUVs have 'zero reparability' because they are a structural part of the car, and yet people still say that all battery cars are the way forward, as batteries make up a significate part of the cost of the car, replacing them is prohibitively expensive, as insurance companies are finding out! Sandy Munro, head of Michigan-based Munro & Associates, a business that advised how car makers on how to improve their vehicles, said the battery pack in the Model Y has 'zero reparability' because of its make-up of the car's structure, 'A Tesla structural battery pack is going straight to the grinder,' he explained,


Andy Keane, UK commercial motor product manager at insurer AXA, said the high cost of batteries 'may sometimes make replacing a battery unfeasible', He added: 'An insurance company is not going to take that risk [of putting an EV back on the road] because they're facing a lawsuit later on if something happens with that vehicle and they did not total it.' and here is the amazing thing, what do people who have had their car written off do? you guessed it, buy another all electric car! you just could not make it up! for the full article have a look here.

Dear Stanley and Diana
Seems there are many negative issues that signal potential buyers regarding the purchase of an electric vehicle. We notice here in USA, most that end up buying are progressive liberals that actually still believe the green hype that Biden continues to broadcast in the name of saving the environment.
We observe most of these EV buyers have poor critical thinking skills and therefore no ability to process and make decisions using logic, facts and common sense…otherwise they would avoid purchasing an EV.
These are the same folks that can be taught the earth is flat, 2+2=7,
and that majority of demographic makeup in USA is black and gay, when it is only 22%.
All of these concepts are invented by those who want full control of their subjects’ brains. This is the group that politicians (using media) continue to lead, like sheep, into making poor decisions that in the end, damage the country….just like voting for Biden. Wonder when the EV drivers will wake up and see just by driving an electric car they are broadcasting they are oddballs that don’t possess normal abilities to make basic judgements…otherwise they would not be driving an EV.
Sad so many here are brainwashed, brain dead and following the corrupt leaders into completely destroying our country.
All can say to the EV buyer-“Good Luck To You”
Regards
John and Alley

Dear John and Alley, we have exactly the same over here, the mayor of London pushing through his own personal agenda regarding cars and the banning of many of them not only in the capitol, but other boroughs outside of London, even though there is a huge groundswell of the public opposing him, as to EV buyers rather than wishing them good luck, my own personal comment, reading about the amount of harm cobalt and lithium mining does to underage children in the third world, it would be "May Your God Forgive You", I know I never will, but then how can you argue with someone who has only two brains cells? worse, when one of then dies the other one dies of loneliness! best regards, Stan and Diana.
