RE: I’ll be back18 Jul 2023 12:29
Regarding the use of electric cars, it's the people that own them that I have the issue with. I work for the ambulance service and we had until recently 2 Mitsubishi petrol electric hybrids. They were used as single manned rapid response vehicles. Whenever they were out on a call the battery wouldn't last very long, perhaps down to all the lights and sirens. And when they were out on a shout you could guarantee that the staff in the ambulance station would put their own cars on the charging point, therefore getting a free top up from the taxpayer. When I tried to point out that it was theft and no different to me filing my car from the diesel tank on site they would get all up tight and really nasty. The sense of entitlement of these smug people really gets my goat. I appreciate that not all eV drivers are like this, perhaps it's just rife in the public sector. But to me it's theft and I bet this is widespread in this country.
