[QUOTE="Clem, post: 620173, member: 15"] I dont think they will need to. Fast forward 15 years and we hit the point where the sale of 'fuel' cars are banned, and by then, the main manufacturers will have effectively phased out the sale by about five years so the demand for petrol/diesel will have reduced dramatically. The profit margin on fuel sales is tiny, and is made up by the bulk of sale, and the shops,cafes and mini markets attached to the fuel stations. Most supermarket fuel prices are subsidised to encouraged customer loyalty etc, so I imagine that the presence of 'petrol stations will reduce hugely .... and so 'getting fuel' will no longer be a simple thing to do. From my house its 2 miles to the M5, and I pass, effectively, 4 filling stations, i cant see that being the case. I think long term, its gonna be a right royal pita, and I suggest it will hit the classic car market massively. Just the inconvenience of fuelling up a fun old vehicle will impact the market and unless people are 'really' keen, they are gonna think 'or, I could get a EV on lease and just use it?'. Maybe, maybe not, time will tell .... if I was sat on a few classics as a 'pension fund' I think I would look at my options ;) [/QUOTE]
