Why I Will Never Buy an Electric Car : The electric car revolution is here. Are we sure we know where it's taking us? (2nd Edition)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Are electric cars really the clean, affordable and practical future of motoring or are drivers being sold a solution with problems of its own In this provocative and uncompromising second edition of WHY I WILL NEVER BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR, lifelong petrolhead and author Colin M Barron takes a critical look at the accelerating transition from petrol and diesel vehicles to battery-powered electric cars. Beginning with his own lifelong love of motoring and the freedom that came with passing his driving test, Barron traces the development of the motor car before turning his attention to the electric revolution now transforming Britain's roads. The book combines motoring history with personal observation, technical discussion and a forthright examination of current transport and environmental policy. What happens when the promises surrounding electric vehicles are put under closer scrutiny Barron examines the issues that he believes are too often overlooked: real-world driving range, charging infrastructure, battery life and replacement costs, lithium-ion battery fires, vehicle weight, running costs and the practical experiences of EV owners. He also considers the recognised advantages of electric cars, including acceleration, quiet operation and the absence of exhaust emissions, before questioning whether those benefits tell the whole story. The discussion then goes much further. Barron challenges the environmental case for electric vehicles, explores the production of lithium-ion batteries and questions the wider implications of Net Zero policies for motorists, private car ownership and other forms of transport. From trains and shipping to bicycles, e-bikes and e-scooters, he asks what the drive towards a lower-carbon transport system could ultimately mean for the way we travel. Opinionated, provocative and written from the perspective of a man who has loved cars for more than half a century, WHY I WILL NEVER BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR is intended to challenge conventional thinking and encourage readers to look beyond the headlines. Whether you drive an electric car, swear by petrol or diesel, or simply wonder where the future of motoring is taking us, this book invites you to question, debate and make up your own mind.
