manboobs109 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I'm getting an electric van. They've put a free recharging point near me. No more buying petrol. Fucking superb. Link to comment
YorkDon Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Plenty electric cars to choose from, but my issues is that most are ugly as fuck and i canna get to grips with the lack of engine noise. Thought about buying a Tesla after ditching my focus, but ended up BMW 335 D. Fucking polar opposites. Maybe next time though...I canna really have a diesel as I don’t really do distance and my Beamer barely gets warmed up in the 6 or so miles to work.Leccy would be perfect for me,as I’d only charge it a couple of times a month if I was only commuting.Of course they are fucking dear,and ugly-look at i3 and Nissan Leaf.Might just keep the Beamer and give her a hammering every week to keep the engine happy.

The car plant doesn’t run off wind or water power, neither does your charger. The battery is full of chemicals and not recyclable the tyres still contribute to airborne particles As of a few years ago, it took more energy to produce a leccy car than a normal car. Likely much the same now Link to comment

The Cockney Don Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Don't drive, not a car man. Are these electric cars really quiet when they go along the road ? There is a certain type of car popular for mini-cab drivers which you can't hear coming along when about to cross the road. Don't like them. I'm not blind by the way. Link to comment

Car mechanics is a far easier job than it used to be . That really bugs me. My electric whip back in Norway had a feature where once in a while the brakes didn’t kick in when you pressed them. The car told the wrench monkeys no such thing ever occurred so they said there was no problem, believing a fuckin car over the top boy on the hat a quick google showed this to be a known behaviour of the car in other countries but the fuckers still wouldn’t look in to it. ended up selling it to a gentleman who loves allah Link to comment

YorkDon Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 They are less mechanics now and more just “fitters”. Gone are the days of pretty much being able to climb into the engine bay of a car.You couldna blow smoke through them now. Link to comment
