One thing that annoys me about the "Green Team" is when they say things like:- "Zero Emissions. There is nothing to come out of the back. No fumes etc."

Where do they thing the energy comes from. All that electric vehicles do is doing is move their emissions to the power stations!

Reduced emissions, due to the re-generative braking, maybe. Zero emissions, no!


Rant over. I'll get down off my Soap-box, take my happy pills and think calming thoughts. About ERF's vs Fodens.
