Ever feel like you’re being played with a smug eco-smile? Welcome to the green revolution—designed by chaos, funded by you, and built on the same strategic genius that gave us HS2, the Test & Trace app, and a Parliament that still can’t figure out Zoom.
⚡ EV-olution or Green Grift?
Let’s unravel the masterplan (or lack thereof):
- Step 1: Force drivers to go electric. Slap on ULEZ, ban new petrol cars, and dangle shiny subsidies like carrots on a stick.
- Step 2: Price EVs below cost, pushing manufacturers into a loss spiral—great news if you love buying unaffordable tech with built-in obsolescence.
- Step 3: Tell people it’s “the future”… then make them pay for the charger, the cable, the wall install, and the extension cord when their drive’s too short.
- Step 4: Dump public charger rollout on the private sector. Naturally, they treat it like a Glastonbury beer tent—£0.38p per kWh, and don’t forget the queuing.
But wait—there’s more!
As EVs eat into fuel duty, the government’s like a panicked pub landlord realising people are drinking water. Suddenly, there’s talk of a “fair” road tax system:
🚘 3p per mile today.
🚘 £1 per mile tomorrow.
🚘 Your soul by 2035.
Oh—and those fancy rapid chargers? They’ll cost more. Because nothing says “clean transport” like watching a meter spin faster than your car’s wheels. 🧾💸
And infrastructure? Please. The National Grid is clinging to the 20th century like it’s a comfort blanket. They’re only just looking at how to boost capacity, right as every new home is told to go electric-only. It’s like inviting everyone to a pool party before you’ve built the pool. 🏊♂️⚠️

How did “saving the planet” become a cash grab dressed in green PR? Why are EV drivers treated like both heroes and cash cows? And when will someone admit the emperor’s charging cable is, in fact, not plugged in? Drop your bluntest takes in the blog comments—we want facts, fury, and memes. 🌱🐂
