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......
The point is that if all cars have to be electric and use the current battery systems then the weight of exactly the same cars will increase by 30% -50%.
It is interesting to consider how the present regime copes with the weight of different petrol and diesel cars. As you say what about the current difference in weight between a Mini and a Range Rover? If 20 Range Rovers booked do Calmac have a booking plan to make sure they don't go on the mezzanine deck? These are questions Islay could find an answer for, I imagine.
