Doesn’t matter, Greta says ice cars are bad so that’s all there is to it.

At 69p/kWh the cost/mile would be cheaper using a diesel car than an EV.

Fear ye not, for there is a glimmer of hope for those that not only fell for the motor industry and its hyperbole but more importantly those that want to heat their homes by electric to throw off the Russian gas yoke.
There are contra-flow murmurs becoming audible that the current bad attitude to Nuclear is being revised p.d.q. Roll on the day. Juice from a nuclear power station is a fraction of the cost and it is very clean. And it is onshore and beyond being used as a stick with which to beat.

Think I’ll keep my traditional ice car for now. At least if I’ve got a journey of more than 300 miles I know my car will easily do this trip without having to stop for a couple of hours to charge…

...............and the cost of decommisioning as well as long-term storage of waste .............. stick or not - does it not depend on who owns the power station? |

The problem is that we keep thinking about EV's in the same way as ICE cars which they're not. If I take my regular 260 miles journey to see my Dad in the west country when I set off I have a full battery charged from home at 5p per unit so around about £2.50. En-route I will need to take another 90 miles worth of power and typically pay around 35p per unit which is going to cost me around a tenner, so a total of £12.50 Compare that to a diesel car averaging 40mpg and paying £1.50 a litre which will cost around £44 for the same trip! I do accept that if you take into account a fictitious 33% loss during charging, set off with a flat battery and only charge at the most expensive chargers you would get close to diesel costs however in the real world EV's are much cheaper to run. We've so far done 17,000 miles in our EV, mostly charged from home @ 5p/unit which means a really significant saving. My wife commutes 60 miles a day and we've gone from spending over £10 a day on fuel to less then £1 in electric which is a saving of £2340 a year
