Tina Cordon@jackLondon What was your motivation for focussing on EVs in this toot? It seems to me that SUVs are a problem and that should be the focus, whether the SUVs are EV or ICE is not relevant to that. EVs don't have to be bigger, check out the Renault Twizzy and Microlino.
@jackLondon EVs don't have to be heavier than their equivalent. The Audi Q4 could be the same weight as the Audi A4 with a smaller battery and loss of range. I will back you if you argue for smaller batteries. The large majority of journeys we make don't need 300 miles of range. My street is badly potholed, my car is the first EV on the street, purchased last September. Is my car really to blame? Or is it poor investment by relevant authorities?
jackLondonThe fact that vehicles get ever heavier & more luxurious whilst roads get more & more potholes is a microcosm of how very wrong we have got the balance betweeen public & private investment..... despite the high level of taxation
Some competent politicians would not go amiss....
@jackLondon I agree. On a side issue, I have followed your account for a while, first on Twitter, now here and I thank you for your generally high quality input. I don't disagree with you often so please don't take these comments as evidence that I disagree with you in all things.
