An EV would work very well for that indeed. The next question, is how much do you want to spend? We convert the e-Rifter (the Peugeot-badged Berlingo replacement) for wheelchair access at work. The e-Partner is the van version of the same vehicle. It won't do 150 miles at motorway speeds...

What sort of payload do you need, and could you charge at home if it was an EV? Does it ever do long runs?

Yes, it's absolutely filthy. But not trying to do anything about traffic pollution because the air quality in the underground is poor, is a bit like not trying to do anything about knife crime because some people have guns.

...okay... :rolleyes: I guess we need some "patriots" to storm the capital and stop them "stealing our democracy"...?

Really? About 15% of the population of greater London? Are Muslims the only ones who vote in mayoral elections?!

Strangely, the pollution move around too... And it's simply not true to say there's no escaping it. That's what some folk said about the infamous London smogs before the Clean Air Act was passed. Plenty of cities over the years, have improved their air quality and there's absolutely no reason...

Sounds terrible! You'd have thought the electorate would have hung him out to dry for that one!;)

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: One might be forgiven for thinking he'd run out of arguments... ;)

2023... That was before Khan got re-elected, for the second time, wasn't it...?

Well, I'm not so stupid as to be unable to spot that you've chosen a poor example! :) To make your example more like the situation we're talking about, it would have to be something like: "You can have coal and town gas, but you must pay me £20/day + your regular bill". Alternatively, you can...

No, I'll bet it wasn't!:ROFLMAO: Except it didn't. It looked at air quality across a variety of locations. It analysed the pollutants. It tracked the sources. It went for the lowest hanging fruit first. Now we're in the happy position where we can start looking at other sources of poor air...

How does it go? Ah! I remember! "You lost, get over it"... Well, living in a remote rural area and driving an EV, I do admit to being "quietly confident" when it comes to new ULEZs, yes...;) You weren't ""forced" to do anything. You could have chosen to keep your car and pay the ULEZ...

You know the really funny thing in all this? It's precisely because of emissions improvements in road vehicles (which is kind-of the whole point of ULEZ schemes, to incentivise adoption of cleaner vehicles:rolleyes:), that sources like gas hobs and brake dust have now become significant sources...

Democracy eh? It's a bitch... :ROFLMAO:

Pretty generous compared to what Mottie was proposing! :LOL: Did this come s a shock to you? Happily, I live about as far from London as it is possible to live, whilst still being in England, but even I heard of the many rounds of consultation before it was implemented! And how did that...
