So what happens if she runs out of battery?

With a petrol/diesel you can at lease walk and get a can full.
Genuine question. Costs involved?

Why would farming vehicles need a 400k range?
Farmers could use red electricity.

They need power

Anyone doing town, city low mileage personal driving should be in an EV.

I’m still in a diesel. I just can’t afford to change. My mileage has significantly gone down in recent years and it’ll be last diesel I own.

@maurice_brown

diesel is being phased out,

…….

Big difference in car weighting 3 tonne driving to Cork v 7 tonne Tractor producing 240hp running for 8hrs.
It won’t happen.

Hydrogen will eventually replace standard diesel I’d imagine.
Electric a role play in Tillage where solar powered units can do jobs such as weeding etc.

But for heavier work involving PTO or heavy draft work you can forget about it as an option.

Same goes for Hauliers.

Jaysus, yerman posting on Twitter like he’s an investigative journalist blowing the industry-wide fraud wide-open. When the reality is he’s a complete numpty who is slowly realising the reality of what he’s bought. If he did an iota of research he’d know what he’s experiencing isn’t anything like advertising shenanigans. Just him falling squarely into the David McWilliams style “Electric Eddie” persona I defined here a few months back.

@cluaindiuic

New EV owners you encounter at charging points tend to a magical combination of arrogance and ignorance. I won’t miss slowly explaining how they work and the look of confused panic on their face when they realise what they’ve signed up for.

Simple solution mate, drive a little slower.
