You can call me a conspiracist, all I did was open a few conventional textbooksImage

Electricary is the future! Because international politicians can’t be bothered to get their heads out of their arses!

Luckily with Eskom’s busy schedule, SA will be spared!Image

Quack, I’m surprised that the motor industry don’t have more lobbyists exposing the BS. They seem subservient to the politicians

Junky I do believe they are applying ostrich tactics; case in point, WRX is in jeopardy because manufacturers are not forthcoming with electric cars while FIA keep insisting they do

WRX should just orchestrate a few cars catching fire .

But the FIA need to wake up. EVs are not as eco friendly as everyone thinks & their success is purely driven by legislation instead of true market desirability.

I think it depend on the worlds geek to grease monkey ratio..

When there were more grease monkey's, you know... real men, we had more piston pounding stuff, now it seems that there are more geeks, you know... not real men, in the ratio, thus more electric toys and apps..
