This will show how much knowledge I have about batteries - but I thought conventional Petrol/Diesel vehicles only have batteries for the accesories? They do not move the vehicle?

But you will know from mobile phone batteries degrade over time. If you just swap it over, who has the incentive to replace degraded batteries, especially what we hear of costs for replacement bus hybrid batteries. Let's say your pack has sub optimal charging capacity, what's then stopping you going to one of these "garages" and swapping it out for another one, then passing on your defective battery to an unsuspecting fellow motorist? It's not a matter of conscience, it's all hypothetical  it's either that or carry on with combustion engine tech or hydrogen  And see how much conscience a typical Londoner has ... most would rob their own gran if they thought they could get something out of it, let alone ripping off a stranger. |

They do have batteries to start the car and run ancillaries, but our Keyboard Warrior friend doesn't grasp the concept of hot swappable batteries, something that China has embarked on. It would prevent the 2 hours lost charging an EV if the pack was on a movable skid which slid out, you plug the depleted pack into a charging dock, and pay for a fully charged one, and away you go. All batteries will eventually get charged, and any company supplying the tech could keep an eye out for any defective packs as they will lose their potency over time like all rechargeable batteries, and would remove such. For Couriers, Mobile Engineers who can't lose time during the day, or families on longer journies, it would put electric cars on a level playing field with current Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) ones. For me, living in a maisonette on a busy street, there's no infrastructure to charge an EV to make me switch to one at the moment. They are the preserve of bus and haulage operators with appropriate facilities at present. EV drivers complain that more than half of the chargers don't work, so it's still in its infancy. I'm sure anyone receiving a defective battery could be compensated, but he wants to pick a fight over a hypothetical scenario  Seems to hate Londoners, but posts on a London Bus Forum  It's a shame there's no moderators on here anymore, it's really going down the pan here  |

Interesting to see the latest stats on Khan's approval rating for Jan.
48% of those polled thought he was doing a bad job.
38% of those polled thought he was doing a good job.
Approval rating -10%
Could Khan be the cause of a Conservative mayoral victory, at a time when they are universally loathed. Some feat if he achieved it. About time he realises he is poison and withdraws as the Labour nomination for the Mayoral race.

It's unlikely anyone with a conscious by this point would vote Tory, no matter where the elections are held. |

About time he realises he is poison and withdraws as the Labour nomination for the Mayoral race. The other week I heard a rumour that Jeremy Corbyn is considering standing as an Independent candidate for Mayor of London. This might be a bit more likely now that Labour have confirmed that they are barring him from being a Labour candidate at the next General Election. Anyway, with both Jeremy and Sadiq seeking votes from Labour-leaning voters, this could enable the Tory to slip through the middle and win. Had Rory Stewart been allowed to remain in the Conservative party and been their candidate in 2021, he could have won then. |

Hot swappable work where ownership is common. If you own 2 swapable packs, yes great. Where there is no responsibility due to shared ownership, it won't work. Ideal world v real world. Removing defective batteries is great, but the pool will just get smaller and smaller unless somebody invests in new batteries at great cost. Who would be incentivised to do that? If a person has a duff battery that cost £3k to replace, you are just going to use one of these swappable options, problem solved, no cost. |

No, it was just as bad - most of the schemes that happened were ideas Livingstone had and the he did have either were wasteful like the Borismaster or were ones that didn’t happen. And we must remember, part of the current financial issues at TfL stems back from his decision to remove subsidy alongside the government. Johnson’s tenure was as bad and that’s from someone who actually voted for him |

That's a very sweeping generalisation of Londoners without any evidence to back it up? Just need to see how many parcels get stolen from local Facebook groups! Which can happen anywhere in the UK - once again no evidence for such a sweeping statement. |

Only Cardiff has a higher rate of stolen parcels ... so none higher in England. 29% of Londoners had a parcel stolen. www.comparethemarket.com/home-insurance/content/stolen-deliveries/ |

So based on one particular stat where the place in question isn’t even number 1 on the list, you think such a sweeping statement is required? |
