All the waffle we hear about EV's is just that - waffle.
We urgently need to reduce the numbers of vehicles crawling over the planet like ants.
EV's have tyres, and tyres, with road marking paint, are a significant contributor to ocean microplastics.
We think tyres are just rubber, but are actually a plastic/rubber compound that finds it's way into the oceans from all roads/stromwater conduits, albeit inland or coastal.
Here is a sobering ASA science prediction;-
Quite soon now, all the ocean plastics by weight, will equal all the ocean fish by weight.
I say apply RUC to ALL vehicles, including private cars, to minimise unnecessary car use
