Meanwhile, back on Planet EV... I was at the dentist this morning reading an article about a future Tesla Model. 0-60 1.9sec, 200mph+ , and a 620 mile range. Now that is starting to look usable. Shame about the $200K price tag.

I do if it has a ring but mushy pea tins don't have rings!

I bought them at Tesco and they were made in China. If I take it back they will either replace it with another one that doesn't work or refund the money paid in which case I will end up back where I started with no tin opener at all! In my view, products should be tested before they are put on the market in the first place. Why frustrate customers by selling them something that's useless?

Mushy peas go well with fish and chips with a little salt and vinegar added!

Sorry I took it off track myself on the previous page.
Just looking at EVs, Jaguar I Pace out in March.

We did buy another one from the warden at this site on our last visit here a while ago and it does work better than the Tesco ones but not as good as they used to be in the good old days when everything was made here in England! When it comes to goods and services, I think there is no doubt that standards here are a lot higher than elsewhere.

The problem, JVB66, is we don't seem to get that choice. I keep searching the labels for Made in England and I just can't find anything! If it's not made somewhere in the Far East, it's not made at all!
Having said that, the last belt I bought was in Marks and Spencer in Wuhan, China and that was Made in England and was the best quality belt I've ever had. Yet when you go to Marks and Spencer on any high street in UK, you will probably find that most of the things on sale are made overseas. Why is that?
Perhaps the answer is something to do with price and the use of cheap labour overseas. The problem with that is less jobs in UK and lower quality products being sold for no othe reason than it's cheaper but at the end of the day, if you want better quality it might be better buying British and paying the price!

I'm relieved to hear that, Huskydog! If that is so, I'm sure your customers will be happier with their purchases from you.

Yes, a bit of a digression there!

So what happened to this tin opener from the good old days then? Did it stop working?
I wonder if the Tesco "Refund or Replace" mantra will apply to electric cars when they go phutt ?

It got lost in moving!

That's OK - I get your drift.

Here's a couple of questions
What with happen to the 30 million + registered vehicles in the UK, they will have no value here so will they end up in developing countries where they won't be maintained and create even more environment issues.
Why would the petroleum companies spend hundreds of millions on exploration, development and production if they lose more than half their market. What will happen to the folk who rely on gas and oil for the energy needs?
Another day here where solar and wind aren't generating so our standby gas fired power station working full belt!
I just think there needs to be more thought/information on all aspects of transportation/power, especially cost to the consumer.
Looks like the future is going to be nuclear

I think it's more to do with finite resources, pollution from emissions and conserving energy for purposes other than driving cars. Also avoiding reliance on other countries for energy.
The solar panels round here must be going at full pelt today. Hope the future isn't nuclear but we've certainly got a reminder in the SW with a major construction going up at a very expensive rate.

Shell has opened car charge points, it will be able to charge 80% of a vehicle’s battery in 30 minutes.
