They have to give that money away but probably not to you if you keep misspelling climate 'Klimate'.D'you think one could get some of this "Charitable Foundation Funding" money slushing around if they claimed to be 'Studying the effects of E-bikes on 'Klimate''?
It's one known weakness of our system. They have to spend the money or return it to the Treasury. USAID was a soft target. I bet you musk wouldn't touch the Pentagon though.
Definitely yes. The sooner we and indeed Europe cut off from the USA and isolate them, the better. Then we can get on with properly integrating Europe instead of driving Russia into China's arms and looking for more wars to create.
...and petrol / diesel unlikely to be doing well either at such mileages.
Even in a large market like China, they can't all survive, so with no standardisation there's a high chance of being unable to get a replacement battery after three of four years. And these micro cars will cost twice as much when they reach here anyway.
Certainly that is what is needed, but how could Aliexpress send individual Li-ion batteries in big 5 to 15 kWh capacities? At present these cars all have their own size batteries in a bewildering range of capacities and voltages. That, as it's realised, will quickly kill them in our market, especially if they all stay LHD like the most popular Chinese micro EV in Italy, the maker saying a RHD for the small British market not worthwhile.
Way back in the late 1960s I owed a forerunner of the Kei cars, the Honda N600, their earliest car which also came in a 360cc version. Like a Japanese Citroen 2CV, it had an air cooled twin cylinder engine and motorcycle style constant mesh gearbox. Fun to drive and it's 600 ccs thrashed 850cc Minis.Just need something environMENTALly friendly and SUStainable to maintain the GREENwashing.
I do like Kei cars though, only 660cc, some with turbo and usually auto.
Apparently when Suzuki Hustler came out they had to stop taking orders coz factory couldn't keep up!

But the politicians don't want you and every Tom, Dick and Harry to own a cheap to buy and run car. They want you to be content with a plain vanilla bicycle, unless you are one of the minority wealthy elite who can pay the high price to maintain that position.This guy is much more persuasive, owning both, he compares with minimal bias?
Buy a JDM Kei car. It’s the perfect EV. #keicar #honda
Buy a JDM Kei car. It’s the perfect EV.Yeah, I know it’s not an electric car, but it is just as efficient as one, and way@more fun to drive. Trust me, a Hond...
