Are EVs really the answer in the future? I do not think so.

100% what Brian said. No soul, is there?

I find it impossible to get excited by a small capacity forced induction engine, never mind a hybrid, or full electric. It is a milk float, or even a hairdryer, or kitchen mixer!

There are two strong interest groups at play: the green lobby (communism in disguise) and the automotive industry (who would love legislation to force us to buy their new products).

Am I alone in thinking that cars were mechanically sorted by the mid to late 1990s, and anything later is a struggle to justify? Notice how car advertisements are all about remote unlock, WiFi, Bluetooth etc. Nothing about the mechanics, as that is a long-solved problem.

I will have an internal combustion engine for as long as I can!
