Electric Cars – Good Idea? Boris Thinks So.

Sunday, 6. June 2010

Bonkers Boris is charging ahead with plans to build 25,000 recharging points for electric cars. This will attract 100,000 battery vehicles into the city. Now correct me if I’m wrong but I understood that there was a ‘Congestion’ charge, aimed at keeping cars out of London. It isn’t a ‘Stop London from getting smelly’ charge or a ‘Let’s reduce the emissions’ charge, it’s aim was to try to get everyone onto public transport and avoid cars as much as possible, so what’s his game? No doubt seen another form of income. The fact is that the new electric cars are virtually noiseless, a concern expressed by me previously, so these new noiseless electric cars will now cruise around London below the noise level of people generally, wiping them out as they wander across the road listening to their iPods. Aha, maybe Bonkers thinks the capital is actually over populated and this is his solution or could it be to simply increase his ‘Congestion Charge’ income. By Graham Hill
