EV advocate, lie hating, dog lover from Europe. Let's stop the slide to oblivion. Please
I have flown France- UK a few times for work but the rest I've driven. I love driving.
There is enough in Europe to entertain everyone a lifetime! Hell, in France alone !!
Since buying my Leaf a few years ago I can now drive without guilt after so many years. No more flying for me ever.

I've clocked up 7 of these (one many many moons ago) and most of the others I've done in EVs !!
I have however driven the same ones in ICE in years past and it's the main reason I'm trying so hard to do my part to overcome my historical footprint !

Yes quite a problem for the US, the EU and the rest of the world.
But China saw the future 15 years ago and did what everyone else was trying so hard to avoid doing !!
Should China be blamed or congratulated ?

I'm hoping they put a promotion on when it arrives in each country. You know, like maybe 250€ instead of 3700€ ??
Then I may be able to get it installed !!

Trump has explained very well his disdain for Europe. And there's a well documented action plan that goes something like
- USA has The Americas (north, South, Greenland)
- China has Asia
- Russia has Europe
- USA has The Americas (north, South, Greenland)
- China has Asia
- Russia has Europe

I saw the Frontera EV ad the other day and realised that they are making such crap EVs to say "look nobody wants EVs!"
Then they go to the EU/ UK govs and ask for delays, grants, bail outs etc etc.
It's a business plan. Of sorts

Why are we even arguing about charging PHEVs ?? They have been discredited time and time again
The crap charging isn't the problem, it's the whole concept. Worse emissions, worse range, worst idea.
Oh hang on: that's EREV actually

Really interesting news. Here's the web link to the tractor
Not great specs (22kW AC, 80kW DC) on a 100kWh battery. But then nearly all farms run in 3 phase so charging shouldn't be a problem ??
