General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Nissan have clearly set their trajectory, and aren't changing.

Exactly. When EV and ICE are even near the same price, and range is 250+ miles, why oh why would you buy an ICE? So expensive to run now, let alone as the economics of scale of fuel production, distribution and storage start to spiral up as it all shrinks. Such a pain in the ass to have to schedule in refilling, rather than just plugging in at night at home. To ICE are slow and fumey.

It's clear ICE is doomed.

Are cheap EVs close in price to cheap ICE in the UK? I have no idea, I'm just curious.

Not yet, but the prices are coming down and Chinese EV will pile on the price pressure down.
