They are already building cars that give you a running total of carbon points expelled which will obviously be used to charge you by the mile like a taxi to drive your own car no matter what it's powered by
6 months of walking to work & vegan soy pizzas & you may have enough carbon credits to get on a diesel powered ferry to France for a week
That number will have little basis in reality, as it has too many variables to come up with it, and they can't be included in the algorithm. They can also change the factors they do include, pretty much as they do with the general figures.
Birch services (M62) are curently having new substations built to cope with the extra power demand of EVs, every station in the country will have to do this and the national grid will have to cope with the demand. Speaking of service stations, i assume that most people on here have stopped at one for food, a drink or maybe a piss or all three reasons. Think about what you have seen on the forecourt, fuel pumps with hundreds (maybe even thousands) of vehicles pulling up to them and taking around 10 mins to top up and continue the journy. Now imagine that same number of EVs pulling in and taking at least an hour to charge, how many chargers would you need and how much space (farmland) would you need to buy up to accomodate them, don't forget lorries need fuel too.
It's to con idiots into a virtual World like a computer game, where they get punished or rewarded by Government sanctioned perceived "choices". Every aspect of our human living experience crunched down into data . Social credit
The argument is that the EV's somehow won't need to fuel up as often, yet despite having a much longer range, most people only use service station petrol as an absolute last resort, which suggests the numbers needing to fuel at such places are liable to be similar.
Have a think about how ineffective national computerised systems have been up to now, and decide if you think they're capable of running a scheme along the lines you're suggesting, and that's before you add in the human and political conflicts that will be included.
Someone has already realised that EVs are deadin the water, earlier this year Shell were granted a licence to develope a large Hydrogen Cell plant in the UK, that will end up being the future of transport as the space, infrastructure and engine building capacity is already there. it will be about as "carbon friendly" as EVs and possibly more so. Certainly less toxic to the Earth.

It's not really either/or, and hydrogen is far from green to produce, and is a very inefficient use of energy.
Vehicle batteries are nowhere near ready to go yet. I work on fork lift trucks (funnily enough always ahead of vehicle manufacturers) and have been working on Li on batteries (and chargers) for a while. They are ****e. The manufacturers engineers no nothing about them (or the chargers) and every time a fault occurs with one the battery has to be transported back to the manufacturing plant (this includes either transporting the full vehicle or placing the battery in a steel box bolted to a heavy base plate (one of my customers has already had to send two trucks back to Germany and only two years old). The batteries have a memory which can be accessed with a laptop (which you can't buy) and in both cases the customer was told his warrenty was void because (various) the amount of charges was too many, the battery hadn't been fully discharged at least once in every four week period, the charge had been "interupted" on several occasions. When these people manufacture and sell these trucks they no how they are used yet give no tuition on new protocals required to stop the battery failing, do you think car manufacturers are giving tuition to every car driver or are they just relying on the internal memory of the battery to void any warrenty?
No energy is Green to produce, the most efficient and green is probably Hydro electricity (Atomic next) but power will always come at a price. The problem is to balance it with modern life and the planet.
If you buy a Tesla you need to pay for all your upgrades which cost actual money to modify the cars performance. When you sell it all the upgrades are reset to factory settings. You basically rent the service like Amazon or EE
Anything that claims to be smart like a doorbell thermostat or car is a money making surveillance tool
You gone quiet sweety, are you waiting for back-up to find relevant memes? You're better than that and usully have a reasonable opinion of your own so show it Some of us can be wrong (not me obviously) but there is no shame in admitting that. Conversly if you are convinced you are right stick to your guns and prove it. Memes not acceptable as proof because they are sombody elses words who you know **** all about and could well be taking the piss out of you by winding you up
Kid in my class was called Basil Burgess. Could never work out why fifteen of him were heading for the coast. Especially as we already lived there.
I posted this a while back and it’s worth a read, unless of course you are dumb who will just throw another lump of coal on his fire and claim that he’s an expert in renewable energy sources. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-hydrogen-strategy
