Electric cars to have priority in Low-Emission zones.

Saw this on the BBC

If you're trying to reduce emissions, shouldn't it be the Internal Combustion vehicles that should be kept moving?

That's actually a bloody good point!!

Get the v8s home quicker so less time on road. Makes total sense to me. But I'm not a politician.

....and unless you have your old car crushed and taken off the road when buying one of these things you have made zero contribution to saving the environment. So I say sod it...

To give EV priority at traffic lights means they will need dedicated lanes.

Also allowed to drive down one way streets the wrong way

Can't see this working.

Don't think it actually suggest they drive down roads the wrong way, rather road layouts are redesigned and they can avoid or shortcut one way sections.

In general love it or loathe it if we want cleaner air then changes need making and incentives created, whatever the fuel. Of course they soon themselves become less effective as more ev's or similar are on the road.

Yes I think you have to pay but unsure you pay for the actual parking space as the charging point is outside of the main car parks, I'm guessing the electricity must be expensive then The numerous times I've been to the hospital over the past few years I have never seen that space filled :roll:

The times when I've tried to get a space there and the car parks have been full I've been tempted to park in the charging space with the Z3s battery connected up :lol:

Yeah, just pop the bonnet and have the cable drooped inside, I wonder if the parking muppets would notice
