Best buy your shares now, Woodster. Use all those dividends to save up for your own electric car :D

+2 more in the Midlands, all excellent news, till the government go back on their unworkable? 2030 target.
I was about to say that the secondhand value of petrol and diesel cars would be rising as people couldn’t see being able to pay for a battery car, but the way they are being squeezed out of towns and cities maybe not, it’s going to make life very hard for poor people.

Maybe we could post all of the Guardian on here, to save us visiting other websites. News curated on a wood forum. (Curated is an "in" word these days).
Don't like: wood, engines, electrickery, decorating, tiling, laying stone, plumbing, gardening or any kind of DIY. Not wild about spiders either.

Yup. If I thought they (or any other flavour of Govt) were serious about climate change then they'd have banned patio heaters years ago.

What we really need is a battery recycling plant.
All those rare earths are going to get even more costly as demand increases.
