1000 jobs on the line as the first auto manufacturer in the UK closes plant due to penalties for not selling enough EVs.

Who would buy a secondhand EV? Who would buy a new one?
If you would you need your financial head scratched.

Not me. Got a couple friends here with those and for the first year they love how they just fly past the gas stations, and laugh and us ordinary people with deisel and gasoline vehicles, and big gas bills. After the year or two, when a new battery and other maintainance is required, they are crying. Not me. Im into deisel pickup trucks ... Yeah ... the kind rednecks use.
