mile round trip commute.


But the wage slaves are just the people who can only afford one car, so


it has to do all the other occasional, but so often vital, trips too.


So they use some of the money they save from the cheap energy, reduced


tax, etc on the day to day electric car to hire a more suitable vehicle


as required.


Figures were posted recently about how much one of these cars would save


someone communing into central London with, no congestion charge, free


parking and charging etc. I forget the numbers but it was several


thousand pounds...


I wonder which comedian came up with the figures.....

I'm also suspcious of this free charging, will it be free from home too?

You can't get it into your head, there is no alternative. Regardless
