The other option would be to have electrified wires embedded in the tarmac and turn the road network into a giant Scalextric set.Can we not just cover the country in electrified chicken wire and have poles sticking up from our cars like a big dodgem arrangement?
Ok you might have the odd pikey hitching a free ride on the back, and he might try and finger your misses behind the candy floss stall at the services, but that's a small price to pay.
Low voltage of course to stop the Health and Safety gang kicking off.

The council rejected that idea as well.
Somehow they have decided its a trip hazard. It's in the original story.

We have electricity in Dukinfield, and gas so I think we should stick to petrol and diesel and say fuck the Government and fuck the tree huggersUntil the government/local authority sort the Dukinfield issue out there is no point in having a discussion about 2035.
Oh and anybody else now getting an advert telling me a company can sort out my e.v. fleet vehicles ?
Or asking if I want to test drive a e.v. Mini. ?
Was it that obvious I was referring to no electrickery !We have electricity in Dukinfield, and gas so I think we should stick to petrol and diesel and say fuck the Government and fuck the tree huggers

UK electricity is 33% from fossil fuels. Internal combustion engines are 100% fossil fuel (obviously). So, not non-polluting but certainly a lot less polluting. And that 33% is probably an overstatement as a lot of charging is overnight when the fossil fuel percentage is even lower.That and the magic non polluting electricity.

There would be cars flying off the road left right and centre, I don't think you've thought it through, unlike me and my flawless plan.The other option would be to have electrified wires embedded in the tarmac and turn the road network into a giant Scalextric set.
