Also can you provide details on the number of electric cars that have spontaneously combusted,and the number of petrol cars that gave gone up in flames in the last 10 years?

And potholes...not caused by lorries or buses, just electric cars....

Maybe we should all go back to the horse and cart......
Islay won't answer except to say you're wrong, you've misunderstood his point or that you've only addressed part of his argument. He's done his research by speaking to a mechanic and he now knows for fact that with electric vehicles being 50% heavier than their petrol / diesel equivalents they are causing all the pot holes and could overload the (run by Scottish Goverment therefore baaaaaaad) Calmac ferries.

He might even point out that since horse and cart have steel rimmed wheels they're likely to cause even more damage to the roads that EVs with their rubber ones.

Facts are facts remember and once Islay establishes the facts there's no disagreeing.
