Amadeus Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 New EV charging points planned for Mount Havelock in Douglas and Market Place, Peel. Also, looks like the Electric Vehicle Parking Places Order allows ICE cars to be towed if they block them, which would be good. http://douglas.im/index.php/info/item/1317-road-traffic-regulation-act-1985-proposed-draft-orders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you be so thick. EVs are coming. Are you a denier. Where are they going to be charged if no charge points are fitted. Its 9 years until ICE cars are no more. There is going to have to be a massive ramp up in the number of charge points installed. Not the other way around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just seen the IAA Mobility in Munich and that the focus was very big on EVs, I’d say it’s not enough not fast enough. The ICE deadline is given as 2030 but mass market manufacturers are clearly pushing hard to get electric cars out in significant numbers way before that date. Heck, even in Sofia yesterday Audi was busy launching their e-tron range to the invited (read: rich enough) masses. I believe we will see way more EVs on the island way faster than we initially anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong but the DOI has form on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
