  1. “Most” fuel tax simply goes into consolidated revenue, wherever it actually gets spent is anyone’s guess, most would agree that not enough is actually spent on actual roads. As ice decline and ev increase (or hydrogen, fairy dust, moon rocks etc) obviously money will be required from someone, somewhere to maintain road infrastructure. Im of the opinion that over the next 20 yrs ice are going to be taxed to the point of oblivion, people want and need to breathe clean air. At that point, will ev or other options be seen as cash cows to be harvested… likely yes, or we can walk.
  2. If governments choose to levy electricity they will. i very much doubt they will levy electricity I produce Even if somehow electricity was taxed to the point where ev cost the same per km to run as an ice the ev still has better performance and lower maintenance costs, so what exactly is your problem ?
  3. Where does your assumption that ev drivers can’t drive come from ? The ev drivers here are your peers in age and driving experience who have decided that they have found a vehicle better than an ice. Go troll elsewhere.
  4. Congratulations on forming an opinion, what is its relevance to the price of fish and chips ?
  5. Acceleration and speeding are very different creatures.
  6. I’d rather put you in an airtight room and reduce the oxygen content by merely 9%.
  7. I think we’ve found someone stupider than the turkey who posted the link.
  8. If not perfect, you’ve got water flowing, well done Owl 👍🏼
  9. Hurry up with part 3 ! I’m on tenterhooks here !!
  10. I agree but the petroleum taxes will hike harder to encourage the uptake of ev or any other low polluting engine type. Classic carrot and stick.
  11. By 2034 petrol costs will be a multiple of todays price. Ice heads will be allowed to keep their chariots but they won’t be able to afford to run them.
  12. I’m glad you’ve got some company xylo, I can’t imagine my ex coming to care for me though ! 🤣
  13. When you say you’ve saved 100 Baht by repairing a chair Owl, does that include the cost of the cable ties ? 😎
  14. Owl, I understand your comment about the pond… thats incredulous that the kids drowned there ! Terrible tragedy.
  15. It’s the same as when smoking was acceptable. Used to go out and be surrounded by filthy smokers all night and come home and reek of tobacco smoke, hair, skin and clothes. One day some of our unwashed friends will see the light…
  16. This. I have swum in the dam on my wife’s family farm once. I cannot believe that no one has constructed a ladder in order to exit the water, as you mentioned Owl, sheer sides !! At the time I was in my early 50’s and fit and agile and I damned well struggled to get out. Big hugs to yourself and Mildred Owl, this must be devastating for the village.
  17. I’m sure the emoticon was meant as giving you hug mate. Rest and recuperate for you. Concussions are to be taken seriously, keep in touch with your Dr and hopefully someone is able to keep check on you at home ?
  18. In your own time Owl, we all hope your immediate loved ones are safe mate.
  19. Sorry to hear of your poor night xylo. Your usual mc taxi wasn’t around ? I just can’t believe someone would just dump you like that, though I agree with LL that the good people should be our focus, sometimes it’s difficult to see them for all the riff raff. It sounds like you are going to need to look for lodgings with better access when you feel better. Get well soon.
  20. I see no problem with providing information about ev, which if proved viable will be in every ev on the planet eventually. So again, piss off troll.
  21. I never claimed they sold in Thailand, I actually disclosed that it wasn’t Thailand specific. The pertinent point is their claimed battery swap and recharge times… Surely even a dullard like you can see that if it proves to be realisticaly achievable this will be a major step forward for ev. Sorry for being so presumptuous…
