      I love my 15yo Honda. It has no modern garbage that tries to take over the driving. It has no spyware or tracking or dodgy drive-by-wire crap. It's not lit up with screens and gadgets that I don't want or need and cost a fortune to repair. I like driving a manual and it has a nice 6 speed gearbox. It's as reliable as a brick and has barely cost me anything to maintain. Just tyres, batteries and servicing. For my money, cars only went downhill after that model was made so I've never been tempted to trade it in on anything new.

      As deadly as the fire. Being near that smoke can permanently destroy your lungs and damage your eyes. This is why most fire departments just let EV's burn out. Too dangerous to get close to put out. And you need an airport style foam truck to do that. Water just makes it worse.

      Yeap, the best product would otherwise be the most selling, witch is the old cars, but government is killing the old cars and someplaces paying with our money to have those old cars scrapped. They want everyone to have these things, since EV can very easily set to limit time, range and places you are not allowed to travel to, giving governments via manufacturers limit your movement. Want to live on countryside, nope UN agenda 2030 dictates people must be forced into mega cities where you own nothing and you are happy about it... or else. Hence they will limit on how far you are allowed to drive, slowly limiting it into small towns, then small cities, larger cities and finally to few mega cities, witch point next generation wont bat a eye cause hey why would we need or want to go outside of the city, we have the coffin size pod to "live" in and government provides everything we need to survive... unless we speak against them...

      Don't overreact,I'm pretty shure that in natural disasters gas pump stations quickly run out of fuel or stop working altogether without electricity. If you have fully charged EV in that case you're king of the road plus your car don't waste energy idling in long cues and is most efficient in stop and go traffic which is almost inevitable in those situation - so it's not all that simple.
      Plus yes few EVs caught fire but all ICE cars get useless when flooded too. You can not drive ICE cars in deeper water and well-sealed EV might just be able to do that because it doesn't have air intake for the motor combustion like ICE cars.

To be attempting to link the British MG's with the latest Chinese built models is very insulting to the public. They have NOTHING in common, and don't even provide the British with manufacturing jobs.

      That is 100% true, but Chinese companies seem happy buying up European brands we're all familiar with to try and boost sales. Stellantis are doing the same with the new Leapmotor T03, which they'll launch in the UK under the Vauxhall name. It's the ugliest, cheapest peice of Chinese junk you'll ever see, and it's only making waves because it will sell for about £16k to try and generate some EV sales.

    All batteries, lead acid, Lithium and even Alkaline will short circuit across the terminals when immersed in salt water. However, only Lithium batteries suffer thermal runaway and burning.
    ICE vehicles do not suffer this problem. Even if fully immersed lead acid batteries do not combust.

    The oil price is dropping because demand is lower than expected - for oil traded through western banks and exchanges. 600,000 barrels of oil per day. Because OPEC and others are selling direct to China and trading in currencies other than the dollar. This is causing the price per barrel to remain at around 72 dollars per barrel when industry pundits expected it to be at around 93 dollars per barrel.
    In addition, nobody is peoperly tracking Russian oil that is being traded at discount to certain countries, and subsequently relabelled and sold on, at profit to third parties. This is also "undermining" the "official" western oil price per barrel.
    The current price per barrel that oil is currently being traded at means that it is uneconomical for American produces to set up new wells or fracking facilities.
    The price of oil will go back up as western supplies begin drying up and western demand exceeds western supply. All pre-supposing that sanctions avoidance doesn't operate to keep the price low - as it possibly is right now.
    What is more interesting is what will happen to western oil supplies when OPEC and most other large oil producers sell oil as part of a BRICS exchange that operates totally outside of the petro-dollar influence. What price will this new market or organisation charge for oil that is exported outside of itself to western nations?
    Is it any wonder certain vested interests want to see the Middle East and Russia go up in flames??

    The idea is that if there is just one indication of smoke they will lower rhe ramp and quickly push every one of them into Bass Straight and keep going, they won't even stop the ferry.

      I was given an xc60 phev as a rental in England. I felt it was constantly fighting what I wanted to do. For example on those narrow English roads I needed to stay close to the ditch to clear oncoming cars, but the car kept trying to push me out into the middle of the road. It would rather hit another car than scratch its mirror off a bramble. On another occasion a car in front did something that made me need to change lanes in a hurry and the car fought me again because i hadnt hit the indicator. I had to force it across the line. Frightening. Very disconnected experience overall. It never felt like I was doing more than suggesting to the car what to do and where to go. I thought it would be a lovely car but I would never buy one after 3 days driving one. I'm sure I could turn that shit off but I was bamboozled by all the screen menus. I could get used to the electric experience (if batteries improved) and the adaptive cruise control. We don't need any more aid than that.
