Wrong, completely wrong. The mandates are for clean air in our towns and cities… People die from vehicle pollution. Legacy auto had plenty of time to read the room and invest, they failed to do so… Now we pay the price of poor management…. EVs are cheaper to buy (if you don’t buy from legacy auto) cheaper to run (the fuel saving will pay for most of the vehicle over time) cheaper so service, safer, more modern, faster, more stylish and more desirable to younger people who are the future…

@@Chrislayeruk1 Well done... Everything you said was wrong. EVs are only cheaper to run if you can charge at home on an EV subsidised tariff and you never exceed the vehicles range so you dont need to user expensive public charging. 40% of UK homes cannot support home charging, so those people will be stuck paying more than double per mile when compared with diesel. As for EVs being more stylish and desirable... LMAO@U.

It's perfectly obvious no one wants EVs, or they wouldn't have to be heavily subsidised one way or another, and even then foisted with strong arm tactics.
Just think about this....The military vehicles will all still have to be internal combustion....There are no charging points on the battlefield so get that in your thick heads....Also batteries do not last long enough or have any where near enough range for commercial heavy goods vehicles....Miliband is off his head....
@@StuartPearson-mj7uz here in australia they are doing a test with an electric truck between brisbane and sydney , about 10 or 11 hr trip ,they change the batteries half way with a forklift ,the front of truck opens up and the batteries slide in , same at both ends , i havnt heard eny results if it was sucesful or if it is still going , one firm in emerald have gone over to running his bus fleet to run on hydrogen, he produces his own hydrogen on site
Australia is further down the net zero stupidity road than we are , and it's all falling apart for them. All Bowen's green initiatives have failed. He's Miliberk's opposite number. As a result he has earned the nickname Blackout Bowen. It's spring there and New South Wales is asking it's population to be cautious and sparing with their electricity usage.

Can you imagine if every car was electric, the countries electric generation couldn’t cope. That’s why we import electricity from Europe every day right now.The queues waiting to charge your car would be mind blowing. Run out of charge in a four hour hold up on the motorway, doesn’t bare thinking about. And further examples are obvious. This women is deluded!
I have a company car EV; so I’m paying next to no company car tax. I suspect that if you take company cars out of the sales figures, there’ll be hardly any new EV vehicle sales. Their current EV sales figures are being fudged, by company car drivers.
I live in the country and of course there are a number of large towns within say 40 miles. I don't know anywhere you can charge. I think about one car in three hundred that I see is an EV. Of course Miiliband is getting money from lobbyists to push this through. And of course he has his own consultancy business which he channels government business through.
Miliband lives in his own little Net Zero world where power is generated by the gossamer wings of woodland nymphs and electric is free to all, delivered to your home in little boxes made of recycled tofu
It’s hilarious hearing her say “this is where the future is heading” .. yeah, not any time soon though. Delusional. and these batteries are horrible for the environment 😮
Context: ACCORDING TO Professor Karoly, a member of the Australian National Climate Science Advisory Committee the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04%. (that means it is 0.0004 of the atmosphere) The UN IPCC intergovernmental panel on climate change says that of that 0.04%, the amount that is produced by all Human activity on Earth in a year is 3% (3% x 0.04% = 0.0012% of the total atmosphere, which is therefore 0.0012% of 0.04% which is 0.000048% of the total atmosphere, = 0.00000048 of the total atmosphere) Anybody who thinks the above amount has any significance must be mad. Anyway, apparently Australia for instance only produces 1.3% of the 0.0012% that is produced by Human activity in any case. So why would they need to worry about what kind of light bulbs they use for instance? Climate-change religionists have had people with "celebrity status" filling them with crap and they've love it, listening to heroes and following along, but it's all rubbish. They want a carbon tax as the new means of control, because their banking system is collapsing and they can't wait to impose a world-wide government that nobody can ever oppose, that's all.
A clear case of deja vu; remember when diesel was cheaper than petrol and Gordon Brown as chancellor encouraged everyone to buy and run diesel cars. Companies were also encouraged to use them as staff vehicles and benefit in kind taxation was attractive. All of a sudden diesel prices crept up eventually exceeding the price of petrol which is still the case. Then road tax (RFL) increased, taxation increased and fuel prices rocketed. Despite this, internal combustion engines are and always will be, a better long term bet than electrification. You can't force consumers to buy something they just don't want!
Absolute nonsense, we are in a race to the bottom. I will not buy an EV because I do not have a driveway and therefore cannot recharge it overnight. For me and millions of others it is not a realistic free choice option.
Excellent video Ian! You titled it correctly, you asked the right questions, and you made some valid points to these high-ranking guests! I think you should do a couple more videos on this subject of designing more efficient ICE cars, emitting so much less noxious gases, mitigating the polluting of our environment, ETC. Possibly under the same title "no one is asking the consumer", with a couple of different, knowledgeable guests! We would watch that.
Try using an EV in Minnesota when it’s -20C. You can’t. America has no interest in EV’s until infrastructure is built and fast charging is possible. I drive 450 miles every weekend to my cabin. Where am I going to charge the thing and do I need to wait in line for hours to get a plug? Ridiculous.
Anna - the air in the UK is one of the cleanest in the world. Why don't you go to India and tell everyone in India to drive electric vehicles - NEVER going to happen.
I have no interest in crappy unreliable EV's , I love my 4.0 V8 audi petrol and will carry on using it along as possible,, Americans all drive V8 so why can't I
Mandates and Incentives were not needed to sell the Model T-Ford, or the Ford Fiesta. EVs are a good thing - they offer choice. The problem comes when GOVERNMENTS think they can tell successful businesses what to do. It NEVER ends well. Meanwhile, China and India are opening a NEW Coal Power Station every 6 weeks.
All cars are now too complicated for someone like me, a competent DIY mechanic. I don't think I'll ever buy another car, unless I win the lottery and can afford a 1970s Cortina or Capri.

My other question is how do you justify selling a product that can burst into flames?? The insurance company's are putting up premiums because of the EV's costs, a crash will mostly rite off the Battery and so the car....
Exactly
It's perfectly obvious no one wants EVs, or they wouldn't have to be heavily subsidised one way or another, and even then foisted with strong arm tactics.
They last roughly 8 years and an ice car will easily last 20 years and longer.
Being forced upon us like covid jabs, cough cough, didn't have any heart attack shots
Just think about this....The military vehicles will all still have to be internal combustion....There are no charging points on the battlefield so get that in your thick heads....Also batteries do not last long enough or have any where near enough range for commercial heavy goods vehicles....Miliband is off his head....
are the missiles vegan friendly
I suspect their convoy of armoured range rovers will still use petrol v8s.
Just think how heavy is an electric HGV going to be it will need an awful lot of batteries to shift 44 tons 300 miles or so.
@@StuartPearson-mj7uz here in australia they are doing a test with an electric truck between brisbane and sydney , about 10 or 11 hr trip ,they change the batteries half way with a forklift ,the front of truck opens up and the batteries slide in , same at both ends , i havnt heard eny results if it was sucesful or if it is still going , one firm in emerald have gone over to running his bus fleet to run on hydrogen, he produces his own hydrogen on site
@@lesdundas4869 So who is going to be waiting in the middle of the out back with a forklift and spare batteries, does not sound very practical to me
we paid 5.5k for an audi a3 over three years ago it still does at least 750miles on a tank of diesel - EV really?
She is just stop oil😂😂😂😂
We didn't ban VHS to get people to buy DVD'S We bought them because they were better and that's all you need to know about EV'S
Why should we have to buy what we don’t want
Why would you vote to shut down businesses?
Margaret Thatcher shut down businesses. But unemployment fell during her tenure.
Agenda 30
Australia is further down the net zero stupidity road than we are , and it's all falling apart for them. All Bowen's green initiatives have failed. He's Miliberk's opposite number. As a result he has earned the nickname Blackout Bowen. It's spring there and New South Wales is asking it's population to be cautious and sparing with their electricity usage. There are a lot of air conditioning units out there. Worrying about blackouts in a first world country? Bare in mind, this is before their temperatures hit heady heights of summer. This, potentially, is what's in store for the UK if Miliberk and sir Keir Stalin aren't stopped. 🤦♂️
Thanks for the warning
23k is a cheap option? If I have 23k I am not spending it on a car. It is insane...
Can you imagine if every car was electric, the countries electric generation couldn’t cope. That’s why we import electricity from Europe every day right now.The queues waiting to charge your car would be mind blowing. Run out of charge in a four hour hold up on the motorway, doesn’t bare thinking about. And further examples are obvious. This women is deluded!
I have a company car EV; so I’m paying next to no company car tax. I suspect that if you take company cars out of the sales figures, there’ll be hardly any new EV vehicle sales.
Their current EV sales figures are being fudged, by company car drivers.
I live in the country and of course there are a number of large towns within say 40 miles. I don't know anywhere you can charge. I think about one car in three hundred that I see is an EV.
Of course Miiliband is getting money from lobbyists to push this through. And of course he has his own consultancy business which he channels government business through.
It will be like the thirties cars that carried on being used after the WW2 so keep your old cars in good condition.
Miliband lives in his own little Net Zero world where power is generated by the gossamer wings of woodland nymphs and electric is free to all, delivered to your home in little boxes made of recycled tofu
It’s hilarious hearing her say “this is where the future is heading” .. yeah, not any time soon though. Delusional. and these batteries are horrible for the environment 😮
she is setting women back
They haven’t worked it out yet!
Anna I can’t listen to her absolute nonsense
Don’t forget the patronising smile. Looking down on us ,poor deluded peasants.
Ditto
i love my golf 4 TDI ..333000miles on the clock and still going ...NEVER ELETRICK
I got over 400 thousand miles with my VW Jetta TDI.... The mileage was nearly twice as much better than any of my non diesel cars...
23000, thats a years wages just to get to workand thats not charging it, but there wont be enough electricity to charge them anyway
Had anyone in our government ever had a real job?
They are all bought & paid for by the world economic forum,check out Agenda 30 & you will see where they plan on taking us.
In our EV car park at work - 24 vehicles there are four sitting there that don’t work! You could say they have been dumped!
Buying a nice new petrol engined car in May. When uk no longer make petrol cars I will import one.
👍
congrats hope she serves you well
Rock on
Picked mine up last week.
@@robwellings1608
The Bar-Stuarts will rase VED so high we will be spending half of our money taxing them
Why do electric cars explode ? This is never mentioned and never In the Press . Driving whilst sitting on a Bomb 💣.
It’s easy to solve this - just say no to net zero
Forcing public to spend money on car`s they can`t afford.
They want us in 15 min cities to restrict movement.....an EV would be fine then if you could charge at home. Other than that, it's stupid.
CONTROL.
Net zero madness i what referendum now im sick to death of net zero now
Context:
ACCORDING TO Professor Karoly, a member of the Australian National Climate Science Advisory Committee the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04%. (that means it is 0.0004 of the atmosphere)
The UN IPCC intergovernmental panel on climate change says that of that 0.04%, the amount that is produced by all Human activity on Earth in a year is 3% (3% x 0.04% = 0.0012% of the total atmosphere, which is therefore 0.0012% of 0.04% which is 0.000048% of the total atmosphere, = 0.00000048 of the total atmosphere)
Anybody who thinks the above amount has any significance must be mad.
Anyway, apparently Australia for instance only produces 1.3% of the 0.0012% that is produced by Human activity in any case. So why would they need to worry about what kind of light bulbs they use for instance?
Climate-change religionists have had people with "celebrity status" filling them with crap and they've love it, listening to heroes and following along, but it's all rubbish.
They want a carbon tax as the new means of control, because their banking system is collapsing and they can't wait to impose a world-wide government that nobody can ever oppose, that's all.
A clear case of deja vu; remember when diesel was cheaper than petrol and Gordon Brown as chancellor encouraged everyone to buy and run diesel cars. Companies were also encouraged to use them as staff vehicles and benefit in kind taxation was attractive. All of a sudden diesel prices crept up eventually exceeding the price of petrol which is still the case. Then road tax (RFL) increased, taxation increased and fuel prices rocketed. Despite this, internal combustion engines are and always will be, a better long term bet than electrification. You can't force consumers to buy something they just don't want!
Absolute nonsense, we are in a race to the bottom. I will not buy an EV because I do not have a driveway and therefore cannot recharge it overnight. For me and millions of others it is not a realistic free choice option.
Excellent video Ian! You titled it correctly, you asked the right questions, and you made some valid points to these high-ranking guests! I think you should do a couple more videos on this subject of designing more efficient ICE cars, emitting so much less noxious gases, mitigating the polluting of our environment, ETC. Possibly under the same title "no one is asking the consumer", with a couple of different, knowledgeable guests! We would watch that.
Try using an EV in Minnesota when it’s -20C. You can’t. America has no interest in EV’s until infrastructure is built and fast charging is possible. I drive 450 miles every weekend to my cabin. Where am I going to charge the thing and do I need to wait in line for hours to get a plug? Ridiculous.
I think Anna needs to spend some time in the real world.
Please do not refer to Carbon as pollution. That is ridiculous.
How can green energy mean growth when we have to pay for it all
Nobody wants these EVs.
Ev crap😂
Vauxhall crap. Full stop.
Anna - the air in the UK is one of the cleanest in the world. Why don't you go to India and tell everyone in India to drive electric vehicles - NEVER going to happen.
First question should be can the average person afford a new car , it like when that MP said you should cancel your second holiday , WHAT !!!!
Imagine what it will be like after another 4 years of this...omg!
I have no interest in crappy unreliable EV's
, I love my 4.0 V8 audi petrol and will carry on using it along as possible,, Americans all drive V8 so why can't I
Only 4ltr, mickey mouse....6 go for it.
Yes Yes
Average size car engine in the US is down to 2.9L it's not 1975 any longer.
V8 engines are becoming more difficult to buy unless it's a one ton pickup.... Half ton pickup have at most a V6 engine...
Mandates and Incentives were not needed to sell the Model T-Ford, or the Ford Fiesta. EVs are a good thing - they offer choice. The problem comes when GOVERNMENTS think they can tell successful businesses what to do. It NEVER ends well. Meanwhile, China and India are opening a NEW Coal Power Station every 6 weeks.
All cars are now too complicated for someone like me, a competent DIY mechanic. I don't think I'll ever buy another car, unless I win the lottery and can afford a 1970s Cortina or Capri.
Yes, I agree...a Cortina 1600E would suit me down to the ground.
