Rhetorically... what would happen if the UK subsidies and regulations were rolled back? In europe we'll probably never know, but evidence in the US suggests a pretty rapid rollback to ICE.
There's no evidence to suggest that fuel prices will remain high for the foreseeable future, or that our energy infrastructure is under any more threat than it always has been. Doomsayers may be right, but, I'm taking a more optimistic view until events actually unfold at home.
Still waiting for EV batteries have some the promised efficiency breakthroughs and first year depreciation to become tolerable to a new owner.
