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?

Right now, the vehicles my wife and I own are in good shape, and have a lot of life left in them, and they are paid for. I'm reluctant to get rid of them to buy a new car, especially since a new EV would be hideously expensive, and a used EV isn't easy to find in my area.

I wish someone would make an electric motorcycle that wasn't so expensive.
