He also reckoned when in petrol mode it felt underpowered and he reckoned the fuel consumption average was no better than other cars he has had even though the engine was not on all the time. |

Tell me that BEV is the way forward after reading this article from the beeb below. Also interesting perspective (depressing) film titled Planet of the Humans on You-tube is a complete eye opener.
For the UK alone The UK, for instance, wants all new cars to go electric from 2030. But to switch Britain's 31.5 million petrol and diesel vehicles over to a battery-electric fleet would take an estimated 207,900 tonnes of cobalt, 264,600 tonnes of lithium carbonate, 7,200 tonnes of neodymium and dysprosium, and 2,362,500 tonnes of copper. https://www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.o...t-57234610.amp |

PHEV's & mild hybrids are just compliance cars brought in to reduce manufacturers fleet average CO2 emissions, PHEV's have a stay of execution until 2035 but there's a caveat in that, From 2030 (Or 2025! I've been reading since the goalposts are constantly changing leading up to Glasgow COP 26 in November) only PHEV's that can cover 50 miles on electric power will be allowed. Ditto with my Rover 75

Something else going up in flames! Traditional Clutch & gearbox manufacturing jobs VW are phasing out manual gearboxes. https://www.electrive.com/2021/08/31...to-e-mobility/
