Why won't they just let market economics drive any change to EVs? Nobody needed a nudge to leave their horse and carts for a motor car. If a product is good enough and cheap enough, people will buy it anyway.

Well, first of all I tought Barrie was making fun of Steven Segal and wondered about the connection. As for those creative DEI maths, I think it's funny how they even get the part they want to push wrong. If the ZEV mandate goes trough, the worst case scenario of 59% shrinking would assume a 41% share of BEVs... if we leave aside exceptions like motorsports and what not, which shouldn't be statistically relevant. I think anyone grounded in reality would agree with me, that the "worst case" is even worse than minus 100%. Because not just would the industry go up in flames along with direct suppliers, there would be knock on effects on those building the machines/tools and even "on paper" unrelated businesses. If a car or supplier factory shuts down and a region loses thousands of well paid jobs, then those people who've lost their jobs won't visit the bakery and instead get their bread from discounters, nor will they go dine in restaurants and so on. If you want to spin this further, then as we europeans all know: everything you buy or do is taxed to hell. If there's less consuming, then there will be less tax income for the morons that can't even sustain roads with record tax incomes. Since the average politician will have "supporters" with vested interests, the cuts won't be affecting spending in line with lobbyism efforts. It's just gonna be the same old story of working longer, getting less pensions, cuts for the health system (please die before pension) and of course: schools, because dear god please let the kids be dumb enough to subscribe to such a system. PS: HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THAT ELETRE IS FUGLY... it's front looks like someone put a Ferrari 458/488 Bodykit on a ugly chinese SUV, the back looks like a Polestar and in the middle is a obese Opel Mokka. It could have 5000bhp and lap the Nordschleife in 5 minutes and I still would not want to be seen in one of those.
So it seems to be this : If we goose step every single potential car purchaser to a U.K. based car manufacturer and force them to buy an EV they don’t want then the U.K. car industry might survive. All other scenarios are that it totally collapses under a wave of Chinese imports and second hand ICE vehicles. When a government challenges the market the results are usually a spectacular collapse. I am praying for any families that are involved in U.K. car production and retail.
Saw Lotus EV suv the other day. It’s got some acceleration but Harry Metcalf said they had no range. The Challenge the Road guy said he was offered a Rolls Royce Spectre EV at £100k off list. Obviously no one uber rich wants one, not a success story is it.
Pissed myself, thanks for the entertainment. 😎
Love it! Barrie's Colin on EVs what Jonathan Pie is to politics reporting! Would love to hear your take on Jaguar re-branding.
I saw Ali G not steven segal lol

Because there are too many ignorant clowns like these that have no clue about global warming

More Importantly Faguar's Transition is doing them a world of good....EV the Future My Arse !
All bull as they never talk about where the power is going to come from to power an extra 100,000 EVangelist cars per year
Another great video Colin!
He knows nothing about EVs or climate change
I did my own report.
It cost 15 million.

EV advertising and literature is nothing more than industial strength gaslighting.
PLease learn to read a thermometer

As Britain drowns.
Ha ha! Steven Segal is back!
