Some good news now Debbie I think you’ve got a little bit of time just to give us the latest on well it’s the hot news isn’t it on uh electric vehicles yeah it is I just wanted to revisit last week because we were talking about electric vehicles and I

Just want to just make a couple of notes with everybody so electric vehicles they’ll need a new battery in their lifetime an electric car and that will cost you anything between 14,000 and 30,000 they’re more expensive to fix 25% more expensive to fix there aren’t enough mechanics to fix them uh

Insurance companies are refusing to insure them there’s a lack of infrastructure to charge them and they set on fire and if that isn’t enough to put you off my next question would be do you know who you’re who you’re seeing in the NHS do you know what you’re getting

In the NHS but do you know who you’re parking next to because last night Luton Airport car park was engulfed in flam um and this has been a really serious fire um up to 1200 cars were parked in this car park and it literally just exploded um and some people have been

Taken to hospital I believe five people have been taken to hospital and then uh thanks to our great friend cheral Granger who sent me this um from Instagram uh clearly showing that it would appear to be an electric car that seems to have started this now that all

The flights from Luton are as as far as I’m aware still cancelled even now as we speak that there is nothing flying from Luton so it’s not just electric cars is it it’s electric bikes and we’ve said for a very long time you know people are charging electric bikes in their

Hallways in in their bedrooms even and this um article in the BBC came out of uh this is the 11th floor of a block of flats and all I can say is thank goodness the cladding seemed to to work on that because I dread to think what

Might have happened if that had been a block similar to grenfell that didn’t have protective cladding on it so that ebike was on the 11th floor and on close to my home here in Cornwall in St UST down the road we had sirens and all sorts going off the the other week and

That was because another electric van um had exploded outside this couple’s house they were asleep in bed it was the neighbors that actually woke them up and pretty much saved their lives and the next screenshot is is just a follow on from that and the lady the wife said

That she believed the blaze was a result of the car and it did blow up and now she’s lost her confidence in the safety well that’s quite a a story isn’t it to lose your confidence your whole house goes up in fire but even worse than that apparently these electric cars are

Kidnapping the drivers so this gentleman here Brian Morrison he had a 30,000 mg and he it got stuck at 30 m an hour and so when he was driving back from Glasgow so this is near to your patch here David and he was unable to stop he was dodging

Red lights he couldn’t use his brakes and he had to be crashed actually into a police vanan in order to stop and apparently there are 100 million lines of software so what could possibly go wrong there so if that hasn’t put you off having an electric car or an

Electric vehicle I’m not sure what will right Debbie are you going to show this little video clip oh yes sorry yes this was the video that we missed from last week um and loads of people were asking to see it so this is this is Scott he’s a YouTuber and he’s got a

Little bit of information on electric vehicles for you well now electric cars have become more expensive to fill up than gasoline cars so the one big advantage of electric cars that they are cheaper to recharge than pouring gasoline well that’s kind of vaporized but don’t say I

Didn’t warn you the price of electricity is just going to keep going up and this is the tip of the Iceberg because when you buy gasoline there’s a road tax that helps pay for the roads guess what they’ll start sticking on electricity bills a road tax if everybody starts

Driving electric cars because if they don’t then we’ll all be driving electric cars on roads that are full of holes even worse than they are now and of course it doesn’t even include buying one of these Chargers paying electrician to wire it up to your house you add all

This stuff in the myth of cheap electric cars is just that a pipe dream yeah Scotty Kilmer on YouTube he’s absolutely brilliant do do watch him okay Debbie thank you very much for that
