No you’re wrong. You are only able to drive it to the next post code. It’ll run out in 15 miles. You need either a diesel Discovery or a Panda.
There are certainly different use cases.... who was it here running a diesel Astra because they needed to tow their challenger tank up Ben Nevis at -20c?

I assume you're not using anything from China.
And that to you, AQ is essentially about virtue signalling. Absolutely nothing else.
Opinions may vary fortunately.
Use anything Chinese? Nope, definitely not, in fact lunch today is at a lovely Sardinian place in town so they can’t even sneak a foodie one….And that to you, AQ is essentially about virtue signalling. Absolutely nothing else.

Enjoy lunch. Check around your home though you might be quite surprised by how much Chinese stuff you have in it. Or as part of it actually.Seasonal Hero said:

You're wasting your breath. He's not going to reply to that because he's not interested in a discussion. He questioned the validity of the average UK mileage data that I posted yesterday. When I shared the source he mysteriously stopped replying. Specify the make and model of computer or phone.

On the “do I have anything in the home from the CCCP” then of course I do, our government have ensured that arrangement is pretty much nailed on, in fact Xi Jinping probably has a whole department following this conversation right now, they’ll be well chuffed at your continued support.

The problem is that it's possible to have a car charger installed that doesn't talk to the grid as I have. In that scenario it's impossible for the energy companies to tell what I'm using that overnight cheap energy rate for.
You have similar issues with those who have solar.We'll end up with a per-mile tax. Gets around that issue.

Actually that’s not right.
If petrol and especially diesel cars were taxed in relation to the environmental and health harms these cause then they would be taxed more heavily even than now.
Let alone commercial airliners. Air travel would be priced out of all but the wealthiest tourists.
There’s a good case for keeping taxes on EVs lower as they cause less damage to the environment both local and global.

My view is that we will look back at the time when we allowed petrol and diesel cars to belch out poisonous fumes like the time before the smoking ban in pubs. If petrol and especially diesel cars were taxed in relation to the environmental and health harms these cause then they would be taxed more heavily even than now.
....
I remember going to the pub before the ban, and even though I didn't smoke, my clothes the following day would reek and be almost stiff with the odour of stale smoke. That used to be normal. Only the most selfish smoker would want to go back to that time.
Now if I take my kids to school in the morning, there is often a long queue of traffic, mostly petrol and diesels, all pushing out various oxides and particulates. And we all have to breathe it in, including children, whether we like it or not.
I suspect in the future, people won't believe how our current society cared so little about the quality of air that we breathe.
