@SkodaMart do you actually have anything to offer this thread other than trolling / baiting etc?
When are you going fully electric?

The last time I looked the UK was in Western Europe. One of the values we embrace is free speech.
If you want to turn this thread/forum into a circle jerk please feel free to do so.
I think EVs are a lie & a folly. My better solutions were already suggested (and ridiculed) on these forums.
I will continue to oppose this false lie until the majority realises the truth or I am proven right. (Or banned - which is easier and more likely)
Time will prove I was right either way.

HAve a look on this forum and you will see plenty of information on how well LNG is being shipped into the uk and europe.

And for the ICE people just remember, if we have power cuts then that means fuel stations won't be able to dispense fuel - be it petrol/diesel or electric.
What i hear you say? ICE drivers don't run their cars to empty so they will be ok?
We're all at it
More than 70,000 drivers a month in the UK are breaking down due to running out of fuel. Of those unfortunate and silly souls, 6 out of 10 are men and it's under-35s who are most likely to be left standing despairingly by the roadside
Why running out of fuel is a very, very bad idea - Young Driver's Guide
The bottom line to running out of gas is you won't get very far without it. But letting the tank depleat could end up costing you MUCH more in the long run.

Only EV drivers do that surely?
If people didn't reply to the bait........
Anybody look at the new Volvo XE90 yet?
Looks massive, but pretty awesome specs on it, I am surprised that they have gone very Tesla style on the interior. Looks like it has massive storage under the bonnet as well, which is always welcome in a car that is designed for carrying lots of people/stuff.

Some much better pictures here, there are almost no controls on the dash etc.

I’m gone now anyway.
I’ve got it off my chest.
I don't really care if people don't want an BEV or are even anti them, I only get annoyed when those people spout absolute bobbins about them in defence of their point of view. I get it, you don't want one and that's absolutely fine, don't get one and stick with ICE for as long as you can and enjoy it.

There isn't much not to like. The XC90 has always been a great 'proper' SUV and this doesn't look to be any different.
Perhaps just the price (£100k) and the range being a little sub par for towing, every XC90 owner I've known has also owned a caravan
It will be interesting to see what JLR can do with the range rover.
You posted this in the wrong forum - gas supply and home heating issues aren’t caused by EV’s. Majority of EV owners charge overnight, where most of this demand is met by renewables. This is a peak time of use issue, the article mentioned that!Energy crunch: UK's largest gas supplier warns output is at capacity

Also, why is this news now?
The reason energy prices spiked last August was due to fears of lack of supply to meet Winter demand across Europe. Welcome to summer 2022

Sorry. I do apologise. Despite working in the electricity industry I had clearly forgotten that the electricity used in homes and factories was different that that to used to charge vehicles.You posted this in the wrong forum - gas supply and home heating issues aren’t caused by EV’s.

Bad news when the mainstream supporters are abandoning it as folly.

Yes, something like that.
Here's my current project. I have done both the mechanical fitting and electrical wiring:
