No, they don't. Those are normal business write offs that every manufacturer receives.

Even at £1.709 per litre of diesel, you have to do an awful lot of miles to justify buying the electric version due to the expense of buying one. And the only trouble is, I don't feel comfortable in towing 3 tons to a building site in a Tesla, then climbing back in cacked up with mud and dust.People who want to buy an electric car should just go with a tesla. I'm not aware of an ICE car that can give you what a tesla will give you in terms of features. You get what you pay for and more. Nor do ICE cars give you an 8 year warranty either. Here in the states it's also possible to find free supercharging stations, and in some states electricity can be as low as 8 cents per kwh to charge at home, although it can be as high as 25 cents. Good luck paying $8 per gallon in the UK.
The commercial charging stations are all right around $0.30 a minute. Now EV batteries have what you call a cumulative resistance to charging which means the higher the charge the slower the charging takes place. So if you drive into the charging station at roughly 5% your first 40 or 50% will happen very quickly. After that it slows down. By the time you hit 90% you're spending up to 5 minutes for 1% of charge.
I was traveling recently and pulled off the Interstate to get some gas.
There was also an EV charging area off to the side and several cars were plugged up to a charger. All of the drivers were setting in their EV's reading a book or magazine.
I just laughed and finished filling up my car.
5 minutes total I was back on the highway heading home.
While the EV drivers were still sitting there tied to their electric umbilical cord.
The problem with hybrid cars is the astronomical cost to repair them and price of parts. Most independent auto mechanic shops won't touch them. So you're forced to take your hybrid to the dealership. Expensive!!
Also, the resale value of used hybrids is dismal.
Who wants to buy a used car that's soon gonna need big bucks repairs?
What power company is in the area?I wonder what coal fire power plant is operating that enables you to charge your car?

So if EV's are a replacement, it's not gonna happen in one or two decades, it's taken 100 years to get where we are with ICE vehicles,
so EV timescales are unrealistic. And another problem, not every country enjoys adequate/sufficient sun.
Kia give you 7 years, up to 100,000 miles warranty on their ICE cars. In the UK, 100,000 with satisfy the majority of motorists.

The EV crowd is so WOKE, they're stupid.
Bwahahahahah..... electric umbilical.....I was traveling recently and pulled off the Interstate to get some gas.

Yeah they definitely don't lack the zip.And by "stupid" you mean I haven't paid for any fuel for my vehicle for 3 years now, I have less than half of the maintenance cost of an ICE vehicle and I have superior acceleration?

Yes, every other year I buy oil, an oil filter, and an air filter for my car. What a fortuneThe problem with hybrid cars is the astronomical cost to repair them and price of parts.

Yeah the last ten percent costs a fortune actually you're paying about 9 bucks for less than 40 miles and that's being generous.They're charging by time rather than by the amount of energy? That seems kind of fucked-up to me.
And what jumps out at me about the broader situation that you describe here, is that if you're someone who wants to keep your car “topped off”, so you put it back to charge when it's still mostly full, you're going to end up paying a lot more for energy to charge it, than if you run it down to almost empty before you charge it.
Actually, experts say to only charge your EV battery to around 80%yeah the last ten percent costs a fortune actually
So, if I redo my calculations and only fill my van to 80%, I would have to do 20% more miles to break even! It gets worse for the electric argument.Actually, experts say to only charge your EV battery to around 80%
That continually charging it to 100% will greatly decrease the long term life of the battery.
So when you think about it. The EV manufactures like Tesla always base their milage range claims on a fully charged battery. While knowing the smart owner will only charge their Tesla to around 80%
It's really a bait and switch misleading con job. ...
Nice looking car. If I owned one, I still couldn't charge it from the opposite side of the street from my upstairs apartment. So my problem just got more expensive.Finally a good looking 4 door Porsche and its an EV at that
