'Trick EV plug in cars and milk floats were always a dead end for a multitude of obvious reasons. Anything that lugs 30% of its weight as a fixed mass for the duration of its tedious, virtue signalling life in the form of declining batteries with cobalt ore mined by slave children in the Congo is immoral inefficiency personified.
Now take the hybrid technology, with a small battery charging from an ICE.
Honda Jazz 1.3L straight ICE delivers around 4 - 5L per 100km. The new expensive Honda Jazz, pride hybrid, with its battery and extra electric motors running gear, adding weight and an inevitable power subtraction, requires a larger 1.5L engine that delivers around 4L per 100km. Little if any significant difference. Corporate globalist rainbow cult riven New Zealand GOV subsidises the virtue signalling quite handsomely.
It is very inconvenient for me to acknowledge the slave labour and environmental damage due to rare metal extraction, because I really like the convenience of owning a new iPhone every couple years. So please don’t expose such horrific truths because it makes me feel bad.
thank you
You are welcome.
I had a photo showing they used CHILD labour-but I have lost it, so if you come across one, do please send or post.

though with all these MSM photos, care must be taken they are not "stock" photos.
Very timely I raised this at a Board on which I sit when I opposed the policy of electrification of their fleet. I have now sent it to them.
Good work! Let's hope they don't support the slave trade.

Great idea!
The Pharaoh’s have been resurrected and it’s business as usual.
Instead of drilling for oil with advanced technology and skilled paid workers, they enslave African’s to mine cobalt with their bare hands.
All for the “greater good” the Pharaohs say, for a better and cleaner world.
Quick questions:
What sector is the diversity and inclusion being implemented because I only see Africans being exploited.
What is their ESG score?
Didn’t we abolish slavery?
If not, why are we focused on reparations for African Americans and not fighting for the rights and freedoms of the African people, in Africa?
When on is dealing with insanity it seems prudent not to pretend otherwise.
History repeats itself in different disguises. It’s prudent to point out the disconnect in logic

In the post-fact, all-belief future we live in, information is of no use, cannot penetrate the herd’s hive-mind.
