Edit: If I have been interpreting the report correctly it also means that EVs are neither cost-effective or reduce CO2 emissions for someone like me with extremely low annual mileage and who keep their cars for a long time. Which I suspect I knew, but is non-the-less a bit disappointing.
Me too. This rush to BEV means that a lot of cars will be scrapped before their natural time so the ecological cost of the manufacturing and the normal life cycle will be wasted thereby effectively increasing the ecological cost per mile of the existing fleet.
I also suspect neither side of the argument is correct. I suspect that a lot of batteries are not going to last as long as projected so the real figure is probably somewhere in the middle; let us say 40,000 miles.
I once used to do huge mileage but now I do less than 20 thousand km (12K miles) a year (and less in a Covid year
) and more than half of that is in the Morgan.
I was going to swap the Jag for something else but because diesel has now been given such a bad name it is worth SFA so I will hang on to it as long as I can. The result will be an ecological saving for the planet.
