it strikes me that we need to use mileage pricing/tax to let the market sort this out. pointless scrapping an old car that only does 5k miles pa for a spanking new EV that's consumed water, power and rare minerals in its production.
i also think we need to legislate for cars to be on the road for 20 years, and not being scrapped before becoming 10 years old because some module has failed and it's uneconomic to repair. Manufacturers and consumers will need to adjust, but if we're serious about the planet then we can't be building vehicles that only last 150k miles or 7 years. The tech needs to be sustainable or easily repairable.
Apart from the fact most Morgan mileage is not strictly necessary, our cars are actually quite green!
Also-bloomin'-lutely!
