Latest update I could find. Seems the EPA has finished and packed up. The emergency is over, folks....we can all have a big tall glass if EPA approved lithium water.

Car manufacturers have spent billions changing their brands and now people aren't buying the EV's in the UK. The industry is telling the government that they've got to do more to make people change over to EV's. The UK really isn't compatible with EV vehicles due to the amount of rain, flooding and snow we get. 

They'd like the government to "punish", consumers that are only willing to buy petrol or diesel cars. When the best thing to do would be to reduce the amount of EV vehicles manufactured. A lot of 2nd hand car dealers won't even touch an EV.

The expression of someone about to lose her job. Fuck you. No sympathy.

Germany employs a million people in car manufacturing in Germany.

Most of the cars in the UK are over 12 years old. Most people aren't buying new cars. Most people can't afford to buy new cars. 

The car Geoff is driving is 24 years old. 

My car is 14 years old  I would change it if I could find one with low mileage at the right price. But when you've spent money on a car, better the car that you know. I've only done 10,000 miles since I bought it in 2019. It still only has 68,000 on the clock. 

New cars have increased by 129%, far more expensive than they were 15 years ago, the average price for a new petrol car is £48,000.
