Yeah that makes me pretty stupid. Mustangs never get recalled for anything dangerous - oh hang on .....

Hate to say it but you are talking complete bol***ks. Norway is, and has been, a nett exporter of electricity for the last 30 years. Norway - At the end of 2020, about 6.2 TWh of new production capacity was under construction Electricity production - Energifakta Norge

blah blah blah. And once again you assert you know more about Norway than the Norwegians - do you realise just how silly that sounds ! Lets give it 12 months shall we and see what you have to say then Mr Genius of power infrastructure. Maybe you will have had a chance to publish your workings by...

Vanilla obviously !

You are just being pedantic now. Obviously they don't have to be plugged in, but that is how most are used around here.

Complete and utter rubbish ! I own a PHEV - it gets plugged in regularly and does 90% of local journeys on electric. Once again NoVaGT speaks and knows better than somebody who actually owns a PHEV. Priceless. I suggest you give Norway an urgent call because they must have missed this crucial...

Well why did you bother replying then ? :cwl:

Is that a Z28 ? An old friend had one of those back in the early 80's

EV + PHEV - both are plug in. Both demand electricity from the grid. :like: Hybrids excluded as self charging and independent from the electricity supply.

:like:

Firstly I CLEARLY stated EV and PHEV - both 'plug in', which comes to 17% - all of which require electricity from the grid. Secondly, You CANNOT state 'They won't get to 20%. They can't. They don't have the electrical power production or distribution capacity.' Where do you have the...

Yes - but as I mentioned they use pretty much the same on the ICE Panamera, so not an EV thing per se. Porsche (as Lotus) are prioritising handling. This is the rear wheel tyre combination on my Lotus which is very similar to the Porsche.

It would lack 50 years of automotive development. Probably the single biggest one being chassis design, use of HS steels and composites. Those old Capri's had the torsional rigidity of a 3 day old lettuce ! An amusing aside. TVR went out of production a while back and they are trying to restart...

So do I. Formula 1 are intending to use 100% renewable fuel fairly soon which will help drive development.

I can't think of a more ridiculous comparison. People don't choose their sexuality like they choose their car. I'm lost for words - which is probably a good thing as this forum is no place for such comments.

I think European makers have gone much more extreme on wheels and tyres on all cars. My Lotus Evora for example has 20" wheels with 285/30 tyres - pretty shallow sidewall. Being a Lotus it actually rides really well despite this - as it seems does the Porsche. Not sure that is an EV thing...

I think this comes back to a point I made a while ago. EV's are a 1:1 replacement for a lot, maybe even most people, but the residents on this forum are not normal 'most' people. We love our V8's (why on earth would you buy a 5.0 V8 if you didn't really want one - can hardly say you need one!)...

No, it is a ban on new registrations. Existing vehicles are fine.

It does indeed. But of course some of those things that are designed in to suspension systems are there to resolve the issue of roll. If that roll motion is not there to the same extent in the first place then it is possible to have less of a compromise on other suspension configuration. If you...

Agree, but also of course there are inherent flaws in ICE cars as well which in some cases EV's solve or are less compromised.
