Thread: Govt Announcement on EV versus petrol today

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political...ybrid-vehicles

I'm holding onto my petrol 4wd as long as i can. But they will probably make it harder at the pump - up she goes?

Are EV's able to tow trailers yet? I.E Tow my ATV?

electric motors have amazing torque from standstill right up the rev range, but as with all things the heavier the load the more power consumed.
and current battery technology and the ability to charge them make them a stupid idea in nz

this goes a fair way to explain it

I know the f150 lightning has a tow capacity but unsure how bad it will effect the millage

Shaw said the last time there was carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the concentrations present today, there were palm trees in Antarctica.
Did he take photos.

I had a week long trial of a Kona EV - favourably impressed, but can't afford one.

It would tow your loaded trailer.

So the gov donate 8k towards ev,what about the other 50k.

So they intend penalsing all of us on low incomes to subsidise the rich. Bloody great.

The nature of the new left! Remember the days when Labour was about the working class?

when james shaw was in the labour/green alliance he ranked up more air travel than any other minister
and then he tells us to stop travelling? he can go fuck himself with a (organically grown) pineapple

Might be time to start manufacturing diy diesel for the van, what do they call that home brew stuff?

Or the gummit can subsidise an engine swap for my van, cause I sure aint parting with it.

Probably also a good time to build a coal powered car to cruise ponsonby rd with.

And if that's the case , why aren't there any there now ?
What a crock....

And somehow I doubt manufacturers will be rushing to make new ev utes just because NZ might have a market for a couple of them...

What pisses me off is i don't fly around in NZ in planes or don't fly overseas.
We are worried about climate change but want more tourist flying in to Nz
Then there's fuckwits like Gayford out there in is boat trying to make fishing shows around the world but thats ok.
talk about climate change the world is over populated so how about we start restricting baby numbers, this will save me some tax money as well
And when are the government going to spend some money on the local roads so you can own a car

We regularly use a bit of coal to supplement our cooking stove and it doubles as home heating. I wonder if the stable is going to rack up the cost of home heating coal as well? Rotorua has already outlawed home wood fires and cooking ranges and my info is that Taupo intends to follow suit. How many more hits?

Just emptied the last bit out of a west coast coal sack last night.....saved the sack, reckon it will be a collectors item one day
