    The solution is to let the market forces decide allowing the consumer to choose. In my experience government interventions always end badly for many consumers. Just look at the imposition of road tolls in Sydney - roads privately built and operated but users milked - govt responsibilities to fund roads shunned and shafted?? Possibly more revolving doors?? rolleyes.png

    I kept a previous vehicle till it virtually died. Got just under 10 years reliable service out of it (only broke down twice, after the 2nd time due to engine issues the car found a new local home and an enthusiast put it back on the road for a couple of more years). It was already over 10 years old when I bought it and it cost a fraction of any then new car but it did come with no warranty at the time of purchase. It's done well in serving it's purpose.

    With the current push into this EV scenario many will be pushed out of car ownership - not many used EV's are on the market and I for one am not foolish enough to buy one 2nd hand with the potential expensive battery replacement costs or inherent dangers. Perhaps it's time to think about saving up for a horse drawn carriage - horses farting are more natural too and horse poo is good for gardens. eek.png

    Further, can anyone guarantee that the current so called green energy push will save the planet from the so called climate emergency?? rolleyes.png Before buying any products, one should look at the guarantees offered. If no such guarantees are offered with respect to selling climate savers then chances are the climate emergency promoters have no faith in their so called climate modeling. AIMO smile.png
