Petrol cars \u2018rationed to meet eco targets\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning comes as consumer demand for expensive electric cars continues to wane<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Forrester, chief executive of Vertu Motors, said manufacturers were delaying deliveries of cars until next year amid fears they will otherwise breach quotas set for them by the Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cIn some franchises there\u2019s a restriction on supply of petrol cars<\/a> and hybrid cars, which is actually where the demand is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost as if we can\u2019t supply the cars that people want, but we\u2019ve got plenty of the cars that maybe they don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey [manufacturers] are trying to avoid the fines. So they\u2019re constraining the ability for us to supply petrol cars in order to try and keep to the government targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if people caved to this arrogant government coercion, Britain does not have the spare electricity to charge hundreds of thousands of new EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A home EV fast charger uses around 10Kw. Half a million EVs plugged in at home around dinner time would draw 10Kw x 500,000 = 5,000,000 Kw = an additional 5GW from the grid. Spare generation capacity the UK simply doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK faces 7.5GW energy generation crunch in 2028<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Old resources are retiring, while new resources are slow to arrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

February 27, 2024 By Peter Judge<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2028, the UK will face a power crisis as the grid\u2019s guaranteed capacity will be less than power demands, according to a new report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crunch on capacity will be at its tightest in 2028, reaching 7.5GW, because the country is retiring old capacity faster than new resources can be brought online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation is made worse by increasing demand for power, and delays to the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant, according to a report<\/a> from power plant operator Drax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
