“Wwwooooossshhhhhh”
If you haven’t already read my other blogs, I suggest that you do because I can guarantee that they will be more interesting than this one!
Anyway let’s dive into the dull depths of the electric automotive society. No offence. You’re probably thinking, ‘who does this guy think he is? With all the environmental precautions being put in place, electric cars are the future and they should be embracing it, not talking it down.’. I for one, completely agree. Electric cars are great, and they are the future. But let me ask you this. How do you fuel your electric car? With electricity, right? I know, I know bear with me here I am going somewhere with it. And that electricity that you’re using to power your electric vehicle, where do you think it’s coming from? To this day I can guarantee that more than 60 per cent of that electricity is from fossil fuels, which in turn is going against what electric cars are all about. Being sustainable of course.
To me, the way that electric cars have been introduced is wrong. The infrastructure for them is not in place yet.
Firstly, the charging points. If you’re going on a long journey I can assure you that you will be stressing about where you are next going to be charging up your car. Then you have to hang around for hours before it’s charged. Yes, I know that charging the batteries in these cars is getting faster, but the quicker you charge the battery to more likely it is to deteriorate faster, thus giving you less driving range.
Secondly, in my opinion, I don’t think electric cars should have been introduced to the market, until the electricity provided for charging is 100 per cent renewable energy. As the electric car is to prevent the use of fossil fuels and emitting harmful gases. So, if less than 40 per cent of electricity provided for charging your electric vehicle is renewable, that means that you should only charge your electric vehicle to less than 40 per cent of its battery before setting off. That way you can truly say you’re saving the environment.
I’m not against electric cars and I do think they are a good idea. I just think they are 50 years too early. There are a couple electric cars I would buy to this day. But, they are over 2 million pounds and they are hyper-electric cars. Not realistic. For the likes of the other electric cars they just don’t do anything for me. I bet none of you reading this (well those of you that are still reading of course) can honestly say to me that you would much rather be driving a Nissan leaf, over a 700bhp V8 Hellcat. Can you? No! I didn’t think so. Anyhow, as you can see I will most passionately be talking about electric cars on this section of the blog, and hopefully we can find some bearable ones along the way.
