For anyone who doesnโt want an #EV, donโt worry. Well done #dailyexpress for doing the maths for us! ๐ 2030 plus the life of an ICE car = around 2050!! Plenty of options for all of us for years to come ๐ although Iโm sticking to #EV as I love them! ๐ https://t.co/FX484EPKb5

Petrol and diesel combustion vehicles may still be on UK roads by this date despite plans to cut the sale of new models.

EVs are better than petrol cars But often, no cars are best of all

Some really interesting polling by @Persuasion_UK and @IPPR on where public support is for EVs and the EV transition Some positive signs and, unsurprisingly, some challenges Well worth a read of Steve's thread - provides food for thought for all of us involved in this issue
NEW: how might the UK prevent backlash on the switch to Electric Vehicles? Trump has just made hay with the anti-EV cause in the US. What are the prospects of that here and how might it be avoided? Some new @Persuasion_UK @IPPR polling & message testing out this morning ๐๐งต

Brilliant and what weโve already been hearing. So anyone considering an #EV, please please donโt worry about replacing the battery ๐๐๐๐ #ElectricVehicles #electricvehiclesuk @EVUKexpert
Just seen this analysis by @GEOTAB of over 6,300 EVs They found that that the *vast majority* of EV batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicles they power, and will "never need to be replaced" https://t.co/EPxs7M5vLQ

Amazing! There are very few family run businesses like the @HendyGroup. Five generations later they are still going strong, and looking gorgeous, and have been a huge support to me on my #EVJourney. Check them out if youโre looking for a car, new or old, #EV or ICE ๐๐

Imagine being faced with the harsh cold as well as the warm sun at the same time. 50% of our car was wrapped in ice & the other 50% was basking in warmth as we drove our EV across Antarctica. A testament to an EVโs true capabilities ๐๐ป #poletopoleev #nissanariya #nissan #ev

Good editorial in the @guardian on UKโs EV market โDelay should not be seen as a viable option as China deepens its dominance of the EV market, meaning that company balance sheets may need to take a hit to ensure a corporate stake in the futureโ https://t.co/uFued6mDeE

We can always rely on you @colinwalker79 to bring us the real picture and what a pretty picture it is! #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction #gettingthere #Environment ๐
Andrew gets very animated when renewables arenโt producing much of the UKโs electricityโฆ โฆ but rarely chooses to communicate the bigger picture Over past year, renewables have generated 38.2% of the UKโs electricity Which is more than the 27.6% generated from fossil fuels

I know #EV is not for everyone and thatโs fine of course, but why is there so much negativity for people who drive #electric ?๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Iโm super lucky, sometimes I get to drive #EVs as part of my job. This week I got to try the #GV70 @Genesis_Europe and it is a stunning car. #bekind
