Shares enough sponsors and characteristics for the deprecatory simile to be very apt, I think. NSIT and so on. Why do you differ?

@Lemmylaugh @Emperor
The tire companies researched and innovated for EV tyres, and that reduces shedding.

@Blackmist @ChromeSkull
Zoes have been around for a while.
Were the cheaper cars not the older ones?

@Blackmist @mondoman712
It isn't a ban, there are huge numbers of them, of which less than a tenth are new any year.

That tenth of new car buyers can keep last year's car, or buy a second hand car, but these are new car buyers, they'll buy a new EV, mostly, or their firm will.

2,3,4...10 owners down the line, look forward to a used EV coming your way, a couple...10 years after no new petrol cars are made.

@Blackmist @mondoman712
I only know of Renault leasing the battery in the Zoe.

Otherwise, the battery is part of the car and sold as part of it, with a guarantee.

I think your £500 banger has to be years older than any large number of BEVs, and will cost you more to scrap after you ture of repairing it.

@Syldon Did it clear up your belief there must be a central control point?

(If I get to that WP article I might change "are federated" to "may federate" because it is more precise, and because that is part of the methods which substitute for central oversight.

@Syldon @loobkoob "Must"? My impression is that it does not, and is said not to, and that that is not impossible.

@someguy3 @Oneeightnine
There may be local variations?

In various Wireless Telegraphy Acts for the UK the licencing of reception and transmission, control of permitted bands, for both, and exceptionally reception or transmission of certain signals in certain bands has been regulated since shortly after it became feasible.

There are reasons.

However the BBC thing is a small part of it.

I did think it might be a smokescreen for the (alleged) rapist MP (Con) being named, which is about due, but it seems to have been for an ex-PM defying with a thin excuse an order to produce material evidence.

@Ace_of_spades @rmuk

Your resolution to do no business with any company who have ever employed a criminal, even if modified to specify a restricted class if crimes, is interesting, but I think you will starve, unamused, and self-unemployed.

If of course any crime is shown to have been committed, and you may have implies, if employment then continues.
