Anybody want an electric van? on 10:27 - Nov 27 by PhilTWTD
Would be quite useful to get about through the floods around here today!

But if you were driving through really deep flood waters and met up with a shark..... what would happen then?? Would the battery short out and electrocute the shark?? Would the shark eat the occupants of the electric van??
It is a tremendous philosophical question that has vexed some of the greatest minds of our time
We need and deserve answers

In that scenario, you're gonna need a bigger van...

Surely even if the battery failed to electrocute the shark and it had the van surrounded all hope would not be lost for the occupants of the van?
I'm not sure how big the van is, but hopefully internally it wouldn't provide a very big turning circle for a large shark. Giving the occupants a small chance of outmanoeuvring it?
Also hopefully there is someone else in the van that is seen more tasty then yerself in the eyes of a shark. And after stuffing him/herself on them there ready for a little after dinner nap. Giving the other occupants a chance to make good with their feet

Tiger vs Shark vs Electric Van.
Hmmm, it definitely sounds like one of those 3 body problems that can’t be solved by the mathematical and philosophical thinkers of our time, or resolved by a TV series.

Probably because Vauxhall don’t produce electric vehicles there but at their Merseyside plant.
Nope electric vans were/are going to be made there but all production now being moved to an expanded Ellesmere Port. Merry Christmas Luton workers I’m sure Ed will have some green energy plans for your plant lined up🙄

Genuine question, what's your problem with electric vehicles?
Personally the issues would be that I can't afford one or to install a charger, range in the sticks moving between different jobs and if I could find somewhere to charge it that seems pricy too. Furthermore I'm not even convinced it's the 'green' choice compared to a second hand diesel van which can run and run. Of all the Peugeot 1.9 engines we have ever had it has always been the bodywork, clutch or gearbox that fails and never the engine. The green choice would be to make vans that don't rot. We recently weighed in a 22 year old diesel van and now have a 15 year old one.
However regarding the vans in Luton where they are having to make 10 per cent of them electric they can't find buyers for them (hence the thread) and are now being fined for failing to meet targets.

One of the greatest thinkers of our time has, in fact, applied his towering intellect to this very complex and nuanced issue

Indeed, however, electric vehicles apparently sail through floods unscathed leaving stricken petrol and diesels in their wake.
The air intake and exhaust are the weak points on an internal combustion engine, particularly the former. Whereas on an electric vehicle, the important bits are all sealed in.
