Goodbye Old King Coal Generation.

I guess that's what happens when you buy cheap Chinese buses.  150km range is miserable, and they probably wore the batteries out running them flat over and over again.


They need to spend more money, buy something that doesn't keep breaking down, and with big enough batteries to last a day.  For comparison, Tesla's semi truck is designed to have a range of 480 to 800km when towing a full trailer.

 

Where does the money come from? Like most 'Greens' you seem to think that there are infinite resources available to support your chosen solutions.


Best regards

Electric vehicles cost a lot more up-front, but then cost rather less to run.  Diesel is expensive, and if you get properly tried and tested vehicles, the maintenance costs will be lower.


But ultimately, pretending that there isn't a problem doesn't make it go away.  If there is a hole in your roof, you can't pretend it's not there, even if it will be expensive to get a roofer in to fix it.  And sticking buckets down will only work for so long before your ceilings start to collapse.


If even a Conservative government under Boris Johnson thinks there is a problem, then it's safe to assume it's not just some conspiracy theory dreamt up by a number of left-wing greenies.


And it's not the greens who pretend that the World has infinite resources.
