Agreed. They work nothing like a diesel electric train, which are continually running the diesel engine to turn it into electricity for the bogie motors. They do have batteries, but used very differently.
Plug-ins only generate electricity during braking, as do full electrics. Full hybrids also generate electricity for the battery from the combustion engine. Having said that I am sure plug-ins do use the engine also but to a lesser degree
We should have been building nuclear power stations 10 years ago to be ready and be able to generate enough electricity to power all the EVs and everyone’s homes - lack of planning by the government means that 2030 isn’t gonna happen 😂
We ban EV plant from tunnel construction cause we can't meet fire regs. If we ban them from tunnel construction. Then they should not be allowed in public highways tunnels.
They might possibly put tiny little batteries and motors on the hybrids just to make them 'pass' inspection and keep costs down. I would find that very funny indeed.
TalkTV how about setting up a discussion between Steve Berry & Quentin Wilson as he's the one always pedalling EV's, that would prove to be very interesting. As for Huw Edwards why am I not surprised money talks eh?
The problem with hybrids is the high service costs, a hybrid is exactly what it says, two prime movers to service ; only service centres equipped to handle these vehicles, can undertake this job; they are also a fire hazard and service tools need to be non conductive, plastics, simply not the job for the average backstreet garage..
So instead of using a petrol/diesel engine to travel from A to B, you use the same engine to charge up a battery, with all the power loss involved, to make the same trip just to make yourself feel good and imagine you are saving the planet.
Quite. There is energy loss when the fossil fuel's chemical energy is converted to electricity to charge the battery, might as well use the fossil fuel to directly power the car.

It's not just the motor industry that is going to suffer from this loopy loony idea of achieving the impossible Net Zero. All that it will achieve is the loss of hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs not just within the motor and associated industries, but in almost every manufacturing industry, and see them all exported to China. China a country that’s building a new coal fired power station a week just to keep up with the demand for power to manufacture goods to be shipped off to Western countries. Western countries that are imposing Net Zero restrictions on all their industries severely limiting their ability to manufacture much needed goods that we will now have to import from China. Good God when will our politicians wake up and realise that they are single handedly destroying western civilization as we know it or is that their ultimate goal.
huge love to you both, i thought i'd read somewhere that car manufacturers were looking to phase out ICE cars before 2030 making the extra years pointless if that's the case
As a gentle reminder, if you are going to have EV charging installed at home, or things like ground source heat pumps and solar panels on your roof etc. Make sure that the companies installing it for you do their checks with the local electric board that the local network can indeed cope with what you are proposing to install. [a professional diligent company will do these checks ‘before’ the start work, but there are plenty who do not] The reason being that there are increasing numbers of people who pay to have stuff installed only to then find out that they cannot connect to the local network unless they pay a vast amount of money on top of what they have already paid, to have the network upgraded.
I don't know how people can afford new cars, they are so expensive, more than I paid for a house 20 years ago. Are they on finance? If so they are even more expensive. Electrics are well pricey and the range is woeful, OK for round town and charge up at night, but not if you live in a terrace.
Comapred with NORMAL Cars, EVs cost much more to buy (which explains why only 10% of them are Private Purchases - the rest are Company Cars and Leased ones), they depreciate much quicker, they are prone to a totally under-prepared infrastructure, they will require new batteries when c.8 years old (£10k to put right) and then there is Range ANxiety. Oh yes, and then even if there was a decent Charging Infrastructure, it takes 20 mins to 'refuel' not the 2 mins at a Petrol Pump. EVs are the classic solution looking for a problem. Remember that China and India are opening a brand new Coal power station every 6-7 weeks......which puts into perspective the madness of Net Zero in the UK.
