I bet the maths is off, but I'd bet even more the overarching message is 1000% correct.

The safety of the person inside the car - f*** everyone else. I assume had the industry been selling us small and light, over the last 20 years, battery distance and life would now be longer.

I don't think we've done too badly, by NSC standards, we're still in the same multistorey car park!! Thank you for the kind words which I reciprocate. I work 4 days a week, so when I get home tonight I make a conscious effort to not drive until Monday morning, despite no longer being a lycra...

Of course it's a premise that goes to the extreme, but the reason for making the analogy is to highlight the absolute gulf in difference between killing someone with a car and killing someone with a gun. To have 5 previous speeding offences one of which was 90 in a 50, then to kill someone...

Tell that to the family of the women killed by the fella with 5 previous speeding offences and was killed on his 6th offence. It was only a few weeks ago, and we'll all be sharing the car with him before this decade is over.

It's a shame we don't get to the phasing out stage before increasing demand by a bazillion %. I appreciate that's not really how innovation works, but we've been here for what 10 - 20 years already, the horse bolted so long ago it's just about ready to return to its stable. I don't have a...

Or not as the case maybe. You can always pavement (nice grass verge) park and run a massive trip hazard across the pavement. #Car-Is-King.

You have to work just as hard to get a shotgun license as you do a car license. Would there be an outcry if a legal shotgun owner had 5 near misses before they did finally shoot someone dead, if they were to then get their gun license back 6 years later?

I find it hard to believe single occupancy transport will reduce when refueling is as easy as plugging in a lamp. So many people stuck in traffic unaware of they fact they are traffic.

You only have to look at the sentencing laws and how they're implemented, around driving offences, to see driving is pretty much our guaranteed birth right.

Thank you so much, we finally got there - Cobalt mining on Congo The fact it's the third component highlighted for its environmental damage is rather telling.

I was at work earlier and talking of lithium mining wasn't quite hitting the spot. A secondary search, after my drive home, has me thinking maybe it's the damage done by mining for nickel was forefront when the articles were first being published.

There's a bazillion articles about mining lithium and the damage it causes. I'm sure there are other components too. Some of the aerial photography on the subject is starkly beautiful.

Of course, It's just the all pervasive car culture which is ignored, laughed off or whataboutaried. That's not going to change irrespective as to how the car is powered.

Who wouldn't want more of this?

And why should we when the alternative options are all third world at best. Transportation in this country is a joke, a f**king expensive joke, and we're all the punchline.

You're the one being binary. I just want the choice and for that choice to be safe. I believe an unlimited public transport pass in Germany costs €44 a month. Couple that with a £1000 folding electric bike and a safe cycling infrastructure and much of this debate goes away - but we can't...

Just because you don't want to cycle, it doesn't mean people don't want to cycle.

I'd imagine 'oh it's so lovely and quiet' must be the first thing residences say when their road is closed! Stepping out of Brighton Station is an assault on every sense - it just shouldn't be like that.
