Anti EV Nonsense

While I think the OP is a troll / bot I do think that (having recently put a deposit on an EV) there are some major concerns people like to ignore

PHEVs are probably a waste of time - the head of VVW said recently that it was a pointless tech for the amount of emissions saved.
Towing is a major problem - massive range loss and then charge points are not being designed in a way that can facilitate charging with a trailer hitched. Look at the number of tow bars and you will see just how many vehicles have no really suitable EV replacement currently. The few EVs that can tow 1600kg loose about 60% of range with a standard trailer.
If you took the tax element out of the equation it would be just as cheap to run an ICE, and cheaper lifelong cost - in the bigger picture the EV savings are due to money not being made availble for public services.

im not sure of the context here.

With VW, their context would be germany and theres a bit of an issue of people with a fuel card having PHEVs as company cars and NEVER EVER charging them, because why would they.

For a domestic customer though, who pays for fuel, and can hook it up at home, they are a tidy solution to allow you to do your local runs on electricity and then the odd long spin with zero range anxiety. For those they might also be only doing long spins on holdiay weekends so exactly when they'd be hitting high demand at chargers on the route.

Towing the battery along for a long spin isnt an issue if youve already been saving on your local runs.

Again, I'll ask the question again - what are you looking to discuss as I can't keep up with you? It started out (as per the heading of the post) as the fallacy of e-vehicles, then moved to the absence of Irish built trains, then impending transportation crisis...?

You seem to be focusing (at the minute) on rail shortfalls and commuting oulook so I would suggest that you raise a thread (if you haven't already) on the below

First day AI user. It's was mistake to use oirish as a parameter though.

Welcome simple jack.

I think its time for you to leave. Feel free to blog about your time here on your Bebo.

HazeDoll · 17-02-2023 02:06PM

OP is turning* out a very high volume of posts with no typos or errors that I can spot. This definitely supports the theory that you are wasting your time arguing with AI.

Pointless and clumsy use of idioms and transcribed dialect (goin', doin') complete with apostrophes suggests a language prompt has been used.

We're going to see more of this on boards.ie, aren't we? There are no reliable shibboleths that I can think of so all new posters are going to be regarded with suspicion. What a mess.

*I originally mistyped this as 'turing.' Is that irony? On two levels? I'm never sure...

Trains are heavy moving machines, Dublin had electric trams in 1872.

You need to do a bit more research and practise sucking eggs more before brainfarting. You're making a fool out of yourself.

oh lord Jebus.

I've sent in numerous reports about this thread and the "poster" - no action that I can see has been taken.

Depressing to this, as the poster above surmised, that this rubbish is just going to get more and more frequent.

Let's try one more, at the risk of a ban.

On average every Clare person has one testical and one ovary.

What do you have?

What are your thoughts then on the current Metro North and its integration to continue to Howth using tram 9?

With its current usage do you think it was a good replacement for motor cars and should it be replicated?

Should we replicate that instead of buying more eV?

OP Banned for obvious troll like behavior, I'm upset at all of you for engaging the troll across multiple threads making the cleanup harder, you must all go stand in the corner for 2 mins and think about what you've done 🤣
