heard the one about the bloke who’s lately been required to utilize dirty, noisy, industrial diesel to power his high-end EV – a vehicle he believed he’d be running on clean, eco-friendly electrical energy produced by those wind as well as solar farms we hear so much about?
I’ll explain. His name is Gary as well as I’ve understood him for decades. He lives on the leafy fringe of London as well as his home has a charging system that his new, almost-£100,000 vehicle plugs into. difficulty is, the electrical energy supply isn’t as trustworthy or clean as it must be.

Stop as well as believe about it for a minute. Some drivers have been squeezed out of their demonised diesel cars, into a lot more costly vehicles created to run on allegedly clean, green, wind or solar-generated “zero carbon” electricity.
