Diesel car ban

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

Nope, I absolutely thought you meant cycle, and was immensely astonished at that level of commitment!

Just need to rewire the country. Read an article mentioning an 11KW charger. A mere 48 amps from the mains.

I guess they could make domestic charging stations, which charge through the day to buffer that big surge needed when you plug the car(s) in. super capacitors or something

"Today we fill up our cars with petrol from pumps at filling stations, but for the first 25 years of British motoring such things didn't exist. Instead, you could only buy petrol in two-gallon cans from chemists, hardware shops and hotels, as well as from garages. Then petrol filling stations began to appear"
