What’s the future hold for us petrol heads?
Discussion
Talking with a mate and we were saying how we are all going to be forced to drive electric things in the near future.
With the talks of banning petrol and diesel Sales by 2035 and going zero carbon by 2050, its not looking great for us.
Will we be able to hold onto our loved petrol motors even after 2050? Fuel prices will continue to rise to un affordable prices, practically forcing us to move to electric. But what about us that like running cheap sheds? There will have to be huge incentives to make the regular low earner go to electric or us that just use our cars on a weekend. Battery lifespan about 10 years, unless there’s a huge breakthrough in battery technology I don’t see it been viable....

Yup, dead right there imagine the carnage...
Honda have already announce no more petrol or diesel from 2022, which took me by surprise. Hopefully the rest won’t follow suit.
Be interesting to see what will happen to the value of petrol and diesel cars, for majority of people outside of large cities, and people in the sticks like me it simply won’t work with the current plan

Yup, enjoy it while you can! Modern cars are boring anyway, well the majority. Small engined turbos aren’t for me, the last era, pre 2010 had some decent n/a engines to choose from, but then days are well behind us now. It won’t be the same going for a hoon in a electric car, or tinkering about with it etc. we are proper been screwed her and we can do nothing but watch it happen!
