Speaking of petrol stations! Iceland's capital Reykjavik are closing down 50% of all petrol stations, must be the next step up from their ULEZ! https://electrek.co/2019/05/13/icela...-gas-stations/

"A spokesman for the Environmental Transport Association though, who believes green number plates to be just one side of the equation. He added that “to be truly effective any such initiative will need to at the same time shame the drivers of the most polluting vehicles; an electric or hydrogen-powered vehicle might sport a green plate, but the biggest gas guzzlers should have theirs branded red.”


As for the low speed pedestrian noise on BEV/hybrids I want "the Jetsons" sound on mine
And Shell have taken over from First Utility. Thin end of the wedge I say.
