That is also where electric vehicles win.
We had my security man round doing a few updates recently and at lunch he sat in his van, engine on air con on for about 40 mins.
In the leccy vehicle all that works without anything at all. The OH parks up at school and waits in comfort. Now yes we are plugged in at night charging so somewhere somebody is making me some leccy but its likely a lot less harmfull than the 2.0tdi we used to own
That doesn't help the volume of cars on the road
those cars have to be made which is very polluting
They then block the roads up so there are non electric vehicles idling and not to mention regardless of propulsion blocked slow roads arnt as efficient as free running roads
They are still on the roads which have to be maintained which is tarmac and concrete which is the single biggest polluter in the world
When you could have a single 50 seater bus
Moving 50 children rather than 100 children and parents in individual cars
50 cars weighs 65+tonnes
A single bus or coach weighs nearer 10t
That's all extra weight being neadlessly moved around and regardless of propulsion method is wasteful
A bus to School doesn't detract from anyone
The kids still get to school
Therefore A very easy way to cut pollution
