Must be tired, how the hell did I hit the like button, on the same lines can we ban idiots with weird delusions.

That’s North America mate. These are the strange people who could vote Chump back into power. And you expect us to take advice from such a deluded populace?

[horse]

I've a better idea, lets build a super highway, clear of slow two wheeled crack pots machines who don't know the rules of the road and clear of people who want to walk everywhere, a total ban on them both. How amazing would that be, not have to worry about idiots cycling out between parked vehicles or the morons who throw themselves in front of you to claim off your insurance. Now that would be a good idea.

How about clearing the roads of all the vehicles that are not needed, a high percentage of vehicles only exist for convenience, if pe got rid of them and used public transport and taxis they would probably get there just as quick and save money as well as helping the environment.

Of course private cars are mainly for convenience, people want to go where they wish when they wish, public transport may go or not go where you wish to go, services very often don’t fit with your timetable, reliance on taxis, hmm not so sure about that either.

If there was more use of public transport there would be more services available, within a couple of years you will be able to summon up a driverless taxi to take you to your destination, the private car will be redundant.

Private cars won't be redundant people want their cars, full of their tat and their germs, the manufacturers are queueing up to sell to them.

The environmental argument will slow as they are likely to be all-electric.

Public transport will struggle, who wants to share a damp bus with 10 covid variants a few drunks and ill-behaved passengers?

Not me.

Trains for longer distances will have their place.

Bicycles will also wane somewhat as a means of transport.

People who gave up driving will find the convenience very appealing I imagine the streets will be full of them.

They should, that's should, be a lot cheaper without the most expensive bit the driver.

Where all the energy will come from is another issue.

I have a better idea. Let's ban delusional idiots from this web site. Now where shall we start ?

That electric still has to be generated, which for the foreseeable future meaning burning fossil-fuel gas. It's for that reason cars ('leccy or otherwise) want using less. And apart from that, the 'public realm' areas of town centres should become largely car free...People don't visit towns to see cars - they come because it is (or should be) an enjoyable experience simply being there.

Electric cars will soon lose their appeal, tyres cost more and don't last due to the extra weight, purchase costs are higher and the trade in prices are going to be a lot lower as many need a £7k+ battery at around 8 years old, an E class is around £23k and a Porsche double that I'm told.

About right for a car that's in daily use......However, the lifespan of a lithium battery is actually down to how many charge-cycles it is put through, in a given period. You can expect (roughly) 5,000 cycles, before it's capacity falls below a practical level.

Which means, if in the UK you were to drive on rainy days and cycle on dry days, the battery would last twice as long. This is because we experience approximately the same number of dry days as rainy days per year.

N.B. Another approach to doubling the lifespan of lithium, would be to buy two cars and use them on alternate days.

N.N.B. Lithium batteries should be used (put through a discharge and charge cycle) at least once a month, to keep them at their best. So if you limited usage to the bare minimum of a once-monthly drive, the battery would (at least theoretically) last a very long time indeed - getting on for 300 years!

Your usual load of drivel on a subject you clearly have little knowledge about.

Lithium batteries should NOT be put through such discharge and charge cycles, nor allowed to reach too low a level before being recharged.

You are confusing them with nickel cadmium and similar types of rechargeable batteries and dishing out completely erroneous advice.
