  Every other device I use with a rechargeable battery suffers hugely with degredation. Can you explain why an EV battery would be an exception (cause I would love it to be!).

  Surely if its a very common myth that you know to be wrong you should be trying to correct that.

  I also am uncertain about the 2nd hand value of electric cars. Don’t know how much battery degradation kills their range…

  The only point I’d make on heat pumps is that they are a good way of heating a home using electricity. Without using heat pumps, even with solar panels most people will still have to use some form of boiler to heat their homes/water and I think heat pumps are a good step forward for us to actually move toward energy efficient heating specifically.

  You’re right though that in the short term we can probably get better value from solar panels or investing more in wind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eating less meat ‘like taking 8 million cars off the road’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Article is just focused on the UK. So is more like getting 40million people to reduce their meat consumption (not stop) vs getting 8million UK cars off the road.
