Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    From the article


    ”Almost two-thirds of drivers have decided they will not buy another petrol or diesel car, a major new survey reveals.

    But rather than buy an electric vehicle, a substantial number will opt for hybrid instead, the AA study discovered”

    Of all the cars that'll change hands this week will 2/3 of them be hybrid or EV?


    Is he talking about new cars only? That's not mentioned in the article?

    I don't know how this nonsense isn't challenged.

    You are challenging it.

    I can't find the AA survey anywhere online but if as stated it was over 8000 motorists surveyed that is a pretty big sample.

    It appears not to be about all the cars that changed hands this or any week and of course 2/3 will not be hybrid or EV because they are not there in those numbers for anyone to buy.

    All those diesels bought over the last 10+ years have to work their way through the market.

    So what is he talking about?

    It sounds like easily provable complete nonsense.

    If anyone of us takes a look around garage forecourts you can clearly see that ev/hybrids don't make up 2/3 of cars that are going to be sold,I'd wager they don't make up 5%.

    It's total bollixoligy ,it's blatant,its not reality,but nobody seems to challenge the narrative.
