Leeds University report that that an electric vehicle is over 300kg heavier than it's petrol or diesel equivalent causing untold extra damage to roads and tyres wearing out more quickly. So much for eco credentials. We are being treated like fools. What's going on here guys. It's all over the news ....

Apparently there’s a risk that if we all convert to electric cars, some multi storey car parks would be at risk of collapse under the weight .. eek

Omg really?

Battery’s weighing more than a tank of fuel

Who would of guessed that

And what’s even worse is the smug fuckers who drive evs don’t even pay towards to up keep wear and tear on the roads

Go figure

Hopefully when the councils run out of £££ to repair pot holes them heavy weight ev smash the alloy wheels to bits

See who’s smug then !

Knowing my luck it will be my wheels that get stuffed 1st

This story was later retracted by the car park association.

If you want an interesting but correct statistic, here’s one for you. If you got paid £40,000 every day from when Jesus was born to now, you still wouldn’t have as much as Shell made in profits last year.

The oil companies really, really don’t want you to buy an electric car and they’re prepared to say all sorts of things to support that.

Pollution from vehicle tyres is up to 1000 times higher than exhaust emissions ( emission analytics dot com)

What this says about the green agenda I don’t know.
