They won’t be closed entirely, just have weight limits or put them on the lower levels of the car park. It’s only the older ones that are affected anyway from the 60’s/70’s. Cars in general have gotten bigger and larger though especially with the popularity of SUVs.I don't think that it's been mentioned, but when the time comes that everybody is driving EV car's the multi storey car parks will have to be closed because they won't be able to carry the weight according to what i've read.
So any new multi story being built now should have extra strength added.
Thanks for mentioning green washing, as the big oil companies are famous for it. With spending an extortionate amount of money to appear that they doing their bit for the climate.Hello Ian,
many companies claim to be CO2 neutral, none are.
Electricity is essential to their operation, but electrcity is far from CO2 neutral. Why do they claim this, electrcity suppliers use energy certificates that they buy from such as forestry owners or even, I believe Mr. Musk who because of his production of electric vehicles can sell these certificates. it's all smoke nad miirrors and pure scam. the popular term is green washing.
maybe they are made offers they can't refuseHello J777stp,
of course elecric vehicle are not environmentally friendly. Nothing that uses electricity is, nor is it efficient.
The government is pushing both electric vehicles and heat pumps and neither will reduce CO2 emissions, which is their aim.
If, as is their aim, to decarbomise electrical generation then it would change, but their mindless pursuit of renewables guarantees that will never happen. To explain my position, and I'm sure I've already done so in earlier posts, renewables are not an equivalent to conventional generatiom nor can they replace it. Practically and technically they are unsuited to large scale grid supply.
The increase in demand from an increase in evs and heat pumps merely increases gas generation. Despite an increase in the construction and commissioning of new wind farms, total generation levels from them have not increased as older wind generators and solar panels have diminishing output with age, and have a relatively short life span compared to conventional generators.
How can governments get it so wrong, I can only surmise it is by a bad selection of advisors. This matter I am pursuing with my M.P., for nearly a year now with no departmental response, I asked how do governments select advisors, given that if they need advice they are in no position to judge the quality of the advisors.
