You love to see it
I’m not surprised. They’re more expensive and far more inconvenient than petrol or diesel cars.
When electric cars are cheaper than petrol cars and when I can fill one up in 2 minutes I’ll consider buying one and not before.
This is Tesla sales, not EV sales. It strikes me as indicative of people finally deciding that they aren't willing to give money to a company whose public face is Musk.
I don't really care who runs a company. That never factors into my decisions.
But i'll NEVER own an EV because they are cars for morons. When hydrogen cars are the norm i'll stop buying diesel cars.
Yeah, no, that's completely false.
You know how long it takes to refuel my car? About 5 seconds. That's about how long it takes to drag the connector over and plug it in before I head inside.
I also don't have to worry about being mugged inside the store, having things stolen from my vehicle, or even the vehicle itself stolen, or having my credit card skimmed and stolen.
Take off the foil hat and calm down.
If I want to go somewhere further than a tank of diesel will allow it takes about 2 minutes to refuel and I'm away again. It is simply not possible to recharge any EV in 5 seconds. Once your battery is empty you're in for a long wait.
Also if you're worried about being mugged and having things stolen from your car you need to move and remember to lock your car before going in to pay. Or pay at the pump.
Plus the chances of your card being cloned with a chip and pin machine in a shop are so close to zero its not even worth worrying about. But in than 1 in a million chance it happened if you're smart enough to have a bank account with protection you'll be covered.
Petrol and Diesel are so much more convenient its worth paying slightly more for the fuel.
EV's are more of a statement. "look at ME! I care about the environment!" Do you bollocks. You're just after cheap electricity.
