Robbie and K,
I agree most of the issues relate to cheap Chinese imports, but how many of the batteries used in European produced bikes and cars are sourced and produced in China, they have the global market stranglehold on rechargeable battery production at the moment. Putting bikes to one side, the same potential issue may exist with the growing numbers of cheaper Chinese EV brand car sales in Europe. The EU is quite right to investigate Chinese EV car imports, although on the grounds of state subsidies
I did smile at the reference to petrol in tenth floor flat, well that would be quite an advance in adoption of technology for some places like Ballyfermot and Tallaght (North Dublin) where they still may keep horses in their flats and house.....remember the Commitments movie scene with the the horse in the lift.
