A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

I cant argue with someones' nan's facebook feed telling them outright lies, but there is a hell of alot of misinformation being peddled - and not just from anti-EV people. Some very pro-EV people also talk total shit. If you havnt considered it, why not?

I'm waiting for my car to die before considering a new one.

I am also hoping to coax it along long enough so that we no longer need cars but are shuttling everywhere in autonomous EV pods.

And I can't blame the granny on Facebook as the right wing press have a torrent of anti-EV hit-pieces (and green policies in general).

This is just from my current Google News feed:

I decided not to block that kind of nonsense and it's been enlightening.
