How are TFL squaring the circle with 2.5 particulate levels in the Underground exceeding 275 ppm?
electric trains largely use regenerative braking, feeding the electricity back into the line system.
@@stephenarbon2227 2.5 particulate levels in Regent Street are about 12 to 17 ppm, on the underground system they are 200 to 300 ppm. Clearly TFL have a vastly greater own goal to sort out before they charge motorists for their tiny contribution!
Glad someone in Reform understands the problems with emissions laws. Is there any chance you guys could try and reverse some of this nonsense if you get elected? I have an old diesel, it doesn’t smell or anything. You’d barely know it’s running while it’s sat at idle. But the government wants to make it impossible for people like myself to drive. DPFs and AdBlu are costing people ridiculous amounts in repairs, these mandates for automatic braking and such need to be binned too.
All the best 👍
EVs have regenerative breaking.
Good grief, that sounds like a lot of brake dust. EVs are dirty.
@@piggypiggypig1746 do you understand the term regenerative breaking?
@@stevejones2310 Of course, I'm an EV specialist. Regen braking prematurely wears out the clutch.
Euro standards only apply to the vehicles being manufactured at the time of that particular Euro standard introduction and not vehicles already manufactured. Also, if I lived in London or any city with ULEZ I would drive a highly polluting 40 year old car/van which is exempt from ULEZ....Beat them at their own game.
3:00 *The weight of an EV requires special tyres costing a fortune and wear out much quicker with hard acceleration and braking releasing particulates and fine dust !*
Not true. SUVs trucks and large cars weigh the same.
EV's largely use region braking. But I wouldn't expect you to know that.
You make a number of valid points. However, two things come to mind immediately.
1. "Euro 7" applies to new vehicles, not to existing vehicles which comply to the current regulations.
2. You do not make any reference to the one thing that prospective voters will be likely to deem of paramount importance.
What are "Reform" pledging to do about "Euro 7" if they come to power to serve the British people?
I own a small collection of classic cars and drive a 2006 Lexus GS300 SE-L daily. By any standards, my car is exceptionally "clean", with exhaust emissions barely registering under test. I am also a "Blue-Badge" holder, so not subject to LEZ &ULEZ regulations anyway. I can of course, have a Mobility car, but to do so would mean having to be forced into an EV. This would place severe restrictions upon my freedom of movement and increase my fuel costs exponentially; to say nothing of the increased insurance costs and destruction of my no claims bonus. (Insurers will not accept Mobility insurance as part of a no claims discount calculation).
We, The People of this nation voted in a non-political referendum in 2016 to leave the EU. We have no reason to still be tied to it in any form, yet we are. Will "Reform" cut those final ties?
EVs are not fit for purpose outside of inner city and urban communities; I know this because I carried out a series of exhaustive comparison tests in the summer of 2023. With current charging costs and real world performance, EVs cost nearly twice as much to run as a petrol car! Check the figures and do the sums. They are most definitely NOT the future. How can they be when; a simple crack in a battery pack casing renders a £70,000 vehicle a "Write-off"? Purely due to a replacement battery pack costing more than the residual value of the vehicle!
The more I hear from "Reform", the less convinced I become. I worked closely with the likes of Nigel Farage and Godfrey Bloom to sever this country's connection with the EU; yet today, I see what in my opinion an increasingly corrupt Parliament trying, and succeeding, in the tyrannical rule of the very people they are paid to serve! Sadly, I'm hearing similar things from "Reform"; who appear to be just another self-serving club. A club where The People are not members.
Euro 7 will fail eventually, because the motor industry are, quite simply, too powerful to destroy!
There's a storm coming - soon!
Wrong - EVs hardly use their brakes ( they use regeneration) so emit far far less brake dust. EV brake pads will typically last the life of the car which is part of the reason their service costs are low.
They use regeneration when you lift off the accelerator. They use their brakes every time you touch the brake pedal. The pads definitely do not last the life of the car, that is utter nonsense.
@@macky4074No - when you touch the brake pedal the first thing that happens is regeneration and only if you press relatively firmly will actual brake pad contact be used to slow the car. This radically reduces real brake wear.
@rhiantaylor3446 it is only for about the first 5% of braking that uses regen/dynamic braking. The rest is the hydraulic brakes. The wear of brakes, tyres etc is pretty relative to an ICE vehicle. The lower maintenance cost comes from the fact an EV has a battery some wires and a motor and an ICE vehicle has an engine and gearbox, which is vastly more complicated. To suggest the brake pads would last the life of the car is nonsense.
Our model S brake pads lasted over 100,000 miles
My EV van has a on/off switch for the regen braking even with it on still need to use the brakes alot
Looks like it’s getting near for ordinary people to revolt!
This claim is completely baseless.
The Euro standards are about improving the emissions of new cars being manufactured. They don't affect cars already on the road. Pushing manufacturers to make future vehicles less polluting to improve air quality generally is clearly a good thing.
The requirements for ULEZ compliance have been determined on a case by case basis for different types of vehicle based on the health effects of their emissions. Only Diesel vehicles have to meet the latest standards which are from nearly a decade ago. Petrol cars and motorbikes have laxer standards. The vast majority of vehicles driving in London were already compliant anyway. A small proportion of vehicles were causing a disproportionate effect on air quality which has now been improved. Small businesses who needed to upgrade to a newer van were given £5000 per vehicle to help them with the cost.
Since the ULEZ standards already don't require all vehicles to meet the latest standards, there is no reason to think that just because new standards for future vehicles have been introduced that the ULEZ requirements would be raised to match. TFL have stated as recently as December that there are no plans to increase the requirements to Euro 7. They also said there would be a public consultation before any changes are made.
All vehicles and industrial activity have a negative impact on the environment. EVs have a much lower impact over their lifespan than oil powered vehicles.
Excellent post.
How naive of you believing that councils won't raise the LEZ standards.
There is already a discrepancy between Scotland, England and Wales if it comes to GB - I don't really watch Irish news so I don't know.
In Scotland motorbikes are exempt from LEZ. Diesel is Euro 6 and Petrol is Euro 4 minimum.
Considering that even some cities in the EU are openly announce that their LEZ will be periodically reviewed and adjusted to new standards, you can bet this is going to happen in England as well.
There is zero scientific data available to prove that air quality in London has been improved since introduction of ULEZ. All the news regarding the improved air quality in London are biased and mention a report by London, basically they praising themselves.
Some independent reports suggest that the whole fiasko only raised air quality since 2021 by 3% - and this could have been achieved in other ways as well, like with better incentives to move city folk to EVs, like Norway did, with free charging and tax brakes....
Hold-on, forgot, UK is broke due Brexit, nevermind.
You should be in prison.
Your on la la land if you think they wont change ULEZ zones to euro 7 whenever they feel like it
@@yessanknow302 ?
You said "emissions from batteries". Do elabourate what emissions these are? I can wait.
I will guess that he meant the emissions produced from the national grid in order to charge the battery and not the environmentally intolerable process in producing these lithium batteries
@@MrStr8den Given the other inaccuracies and junk, I'm not going to guess anything.
EV's are 50~100% heavier ??? Nope around 30% or a third heavier than the equivalent car/model. Or if you prefer 400kg - about 3 x rugby player passengers in an average EV for example. Yes tyres wear out quicker due to increased weight, but brakes last longer, so there is "some" trade off between rubber v brake dust particles.
Yes, EV's do have some emissions, but think some of the data used in this presentation was sourced from the Daily Mail ffs
Of course, in a country where people like to dump their sewage untreated in the nearest river, it makes sense to to pollute the city centers with as much toxic waste as possible. There's a reason I haven't visited the UK since Brexit...
Priced out?
*What percentage is CO2 in the Atmosphere ? - Take a Guess - Answer Below !*

Oh and by the way my ev is lighter than the SUV (Petrol) that it replaced.
I am not sure about this unless you are willing to state the actual figures; not forgetting to include which brand and models you are comparing to each other so that you can be fact-checked. So far all you have done is made a meaningless comment.
Oh that's easy@@MrStr8den . You can look them up. My previous car was a Range Rover Sport and my current car is a GV60. I'm sure you won't believe any figures I quote, but they are all in the public domain for you to see. Also regenerative breaking means brakes last a considerable lot longer. My previous ev (BMW i3) had 120,000 km on thee clock and was 6 years old when I sold that and still had the same brakes (also passed vehicle inspection so it could be sold). Sorry for not giving you enough details.
@@MrStr8den and I don’t even know your real name. May be my comment was banal but it addresses myths about evs that persist. Enjoy “fact checking” MrStr8den.
@@chrisspanswick7312 why are you getting so triggered for?
My name is Stella Denton if you really must know; the prefix of 'Mr' is a joke, and if you must know, I am female and part of the lgbtq+ community. Enjoy your life, Chris.
@@MrStr8den Oh I just tire of misinformation. And great that you are part of lgbtq. Here (in Alberta) our provincial government is making life very hard for that community, which I think is unforgivable. Sadly we have another three years or more before we can vote them out. Take care and keep well. Chris
everyone shoud be freaked out about the breaks and tires emmisions.. something nobody every heard about is a massive problem.. ?? and they word it like oh look we want to regulate electric cars too no its a world wide control on how much km u can do.. if u contorl the spin of the wheel or breaks/ tires u cant drive more then 5000km a year or less thats where thats going. u control movementl... this is stuff out of a nightmare future sci fi
how is the answer to mass produce electric cars meaning mass produce more waste to somehow stop the emission problem..? We need to stop production of new waste materials and rebuild what we have.. if this was a serious issue… but its not its about control..
If gov bodies were really worried about emissions then they would mandate cars to all be heavy duty diesels which go 1million km + and are reliable and metals can be recycled and rebuilt 10 times over..
"EVs will only reach 30% market share at most with the rest taken up by hybrids, hydrogen fuel cell and fuel-burning cars"
Mr Akio Toyoda
Where's the green hydrogen coming from? Where's the fuelling infrastructure?
Mr Anyone with a clue.
All this doesn't seem to be environment driven, it seems like it's scarcity of fuel because our leaders have fallen out with big oil producers from the east. Tell me I'm wrong.
I'm done! All a con!
Just ban ALL internal combustion engines NOW.
Better get on your bike!
Why?
You haven't been listening. EV fires, limited range especially in winter, soaring insurance costs, exorbitant maintenance and repair costs even if you can find an engineer prepared to do it, charging times and limited access to charging points if your house is on the street, the strain on the grid (look at the restrictions on charging times in California (and if there, then here)), their absurdly low resell value. EVs- too much, too soon.
ALL ICE? Agricultural tractors, long haul trucks, marine engines, military vehicles like tanks etc? Think a bit harder, mate.
You are the one not listening. There are far fewer EV fires than ICE fires. I get 150 miles in December in my MG, my insurance has only gone up by 9%. I don't have any maintenance costs.. regen braking means I haven't had to do anything with braces. I have a construction business and all my vans are electric. My EV has depreciated a lot less than an ICE car. I'm not too involved in tanks.. @@Morbius1963
My car right now is 14 years old and I'm the 3rd owner.
I bought it 5 years ago, and I will drive it till it either falls apart or I can't get fuel for it as they stop selling it.
Something tells me, I will have this car for another +10 years.
People can't afford to eat or heat their homes, yet you think this is going to be their greatest concern, you know nothing about the people you wish to represent !!!!
@tomconnolly7420 surely if people are struggling to pay for food and heating relief from bizarre road charges would help with that? Seems to be a much more relevant issue than you're suggesting?
People definitely won’t have food on the table if they can’t afford to get to work 🙄
