electric cars and frosty roads

perhaps you're driving too fast for the conditions

If I didn't I'd never get anywhere.

I do, I just find it hard to stand back when folk mindlessly repeat falsehoods and misunderstandings about EVs.

FFS, you really don?t listen or want to understand, do you?

It?s a fecking OPTION. A driver selectable choice.

Sometimes it?s a very useful option, sometimes it isn?t. Just because you can?t understand that doesn?t mean that it shouldn?t be available to EV drivers.

From what you say below he seems to be correct.

SO how often on a journey do you exercise this driver option typically. I can see each one being desirable in different circumstances. Do educate us oh wise one.

Thank you Frank. You have explained it clearly.

Don't they have ABS?

You didn't see what happened to George Russell when he did that in his Williams within sight of his first ever Gp points ?

New petrols and diesels on sale until 2030, hybrids and plug-in hybrids on sale until 2035, unless they change their mind yet again, <cynic>maybe on the day before COP26?</cynic>

Probably only applies to the actual brakes?

PHEVs can be sold until 2035 (my guess is that the date will be extended)
