When they are on charge, they spend hours just getting in the way. Not to mention how much more expensive they were to buy anyway. Total waste of time. The government really need to focus on more important things such as all the immigrants flooding the country. The government are thick.

She hates the heap of shit because of it's crap range. She was turning up at work all wrapped up with gloves hat and scarf because she said if she has the heater turned up she couldn't make it without stopping. it's laughable how pathetic they are.

    Labour have said they'll restore the 2030 ICE ban (Shadow Roads Minister, Bill Esterson, 7 Feb 2024). Given the Tory's change to 2035 didn't alter the escalating percentage of EVs from 2024-30, it was mostly about grabbing a pro-driver headline anyway. Manufacturers will just limit the number of ICE vehicles sold to match the quota of EVs, and we'll have sanctioned ourselves into a Cuba-style living museum.

    I work on the mobile telecoms network and could do with a small 4wd van but no one does one unless you want a transporter size but thats too big and exspensive for me so ive got a vw 2016 tiguan 4motion with the seats folded for a small van experience..lol 600 miles on a tank of diesel i do about 1200 miles a week up and down the country so electric is a no no. I was at a site the other day in Hull with Openreach and the engineer had an electric vauxhall van and he said its only about 100 miles range. He picked it up from a depot in cornwall and it took him 8 hours to get back as he had to stop 4 times to charge it.. fuck that.

    With a 10mile range, from its 12V car battery, powering a hairdryer pointed out the back. Its made from eco-friendly cardboard, with never-before-seen on a van bicycle wheels for, erm, aerodynamics.
    Unlike most EVs, this retails for the same as its diesel counterpart! What a savings!
    Buy this electric van, get a standard diesel one free!
    Of course the second one doesn't count towards our figures because its not been 'sold'.

    I occasionally see EV vans here but I very much doubt they will be around long. A warehouse near me in the valley has several of the things but the climb up to my town and onwards is a long drag which drops the range, from what the guys driving with a full load say, by 20 miles.

I pulled into a petrol station the other day to grab a coffee, there was 5 octopus energy vans parked up, 2 were charging and the other 3 were waiting to charge, it was 10am ish. The engineers were all stood around talking and laughing. I went over to have a chat with them, they found the vans highly amusing. They were telling me that they are learning which petrol stations have the busiest chargers so they can deliberately go there and have to wait in a que so they could kill more of the day. I told them well done and keep up the good work.. I dont get my energy from octopus 🤣

Not gonna mention the dealer, but in the end he told them no way is an EV van any good for his business as he has a load of heavy plant engineering repair equipment and he has no time waiting around charging the thing up. He got a diesel obviously, from a different dealer. The first dealer refused to sell him a diesel and was phoning my son (harassing him) to buy a EV van even after purchasing the diesel,. I think my son told him to sod off in the end. These dealers are desperate.

    I envision a few scenarios. The least likely is for the manufacturers to "sandbag" van production, perhaps a little just knowing how much fine they can pay and still profit. If the fine is based on regional sales and not production, they move sales to markets with looser restrictions. Or they could stop production mid year, causing stock of diesel vans to deplete, leaving only the BEV. In any scenario, what happens to the market will be insane. The beloved ice vans will be worth a mint, and in any scenario, the government will be ready to punish the end consumer for owning an ice vehicle.
