  • Of course, but this also incurs a cost in CO2

    I am assuming the main goal of the government is cutting down on greenhouse gases, so the whole picture needs to be examined.

    Petrol/diesel cars don't need replacements of a big engine parts every 2-3 years, but if your battery goes that's it. I'm not against it, just wondering how they did the numbers, and the current gov is a bit number allergic ;)

  • Petrol/diesel cars don't need replacements of a big engine parts every 2-3 years

    • Engine oil
    • Oil filter
    • Engine air filter
    • Fuel filter
    • Coolant
    • Spark/glow plugs

    Plus all the hoses, relays and sensors that EVs don't have which may or may not need replacing.

  • A massive battery VS those parts, but yes you are right: Wear and tear hits everything. Oil filter/oil is once a year, at least.

    So, how is this government working out the whole lifecycle? It's just a question, you are right about those parts too.
