Hursty Sounds good to me. If you don’t mind me asking, what E car have you got?

    Amps There will be a lot more car sharing and subscription models for the future if car ownership.

    It’s like the migration to the cloud for IT, why pay for on premise data centres full of kit you may not use all of the time and it costs you to maintain it.

    Much better to only pay for what you use, how you use it and what you require.

      alistair A baby one, Hyundai Ioniq Electric.

      Drives itself on the main roads and motorways, only bitches when you take your hands off the steering wheel!

        Hursty Agreed, but I think a lot of the ideas and timelines being floated at the moment are way off. I think it will be a generational issue, and might take twenty or more years before car ownership is no longer a thing. Either that, or it becomes so crazy cheap that the cost of owning a car doesn’t make any sense at all, and again, I think that is still a way off.

          Hursty I have the hybrid. It’s a nice car. How do you find the EV drives?

            Millsy It’s different that’s for sure, instant power, perfectly smooth and quiet, I also like the one pedal driving, no need for the brake pedal hardly. The main benefit for me is the stress of driving has been taken away, most tasks have been outsourced which is great. My car isn’t the fastest or has the greatest range but caters for 99% of all my journeys.

            Amps Yeah the current generation have been weaned on the subscription model so it will be interesting watching it develop

              Hursty only things I would change is the foot ‘hand’ brake and the lack of a rear wiper tbh.

                Hopefully he has time to sort his front garden now he’s not running the labour party. Always looked dreadful when the news cameras were outside his house. You would think his missus would have battered him to get it in shape.

                  He’d smile, roll out something erudite and witty all whilst thinking ’this guy’s a complete tool, I absolutely hate him.'
