Retire the clunkers - but make the transition fair Targeted EV replacement scheme not only cuts transport costs, it also improves road safety and accelerates fleet renewal Retire, Recycle, Replace, Recharge Ray Wills, Peter Newman & Howard Buckley thedriven.io/2026/10/04/i... @thedriven.io
The erosion of ICE is well underway, the adoption of electric vehicles is actually surging, and will only go faster as the 2026 oil crisis extends as conflict with Iran is maintained. But in a cost of living crisis the concflict brings, we now need to take measures to bring equity of access - and eliminate cars with emission from our roads.

“I’m trying to understand why you did this” is a banger of a line because it can be delivered in so many different ways in this situation, and they all work -legitimate confusion -intense disgust -mystified supporter -dry sarcasm
