    Without EVs and Heat Pumps the UK will boil

    Without EVs and Heat Pumps the UK will boil

    Four in five cars should be electric and half of homes should have heat pumps within 15 years, say the government's independent climate advisers.

      A heat pump in every garden

            I heard an interview on R4 this morning about that. There's a lot of ifs to the report which means the headlines are not necessarily deliverable. The structural change required for some housing to work with heat pumps is massive and there needs to be a proper return on investment or else take up will continue to be dire. Electricity is way too expensive to make the finances add up.

            Fining manufacturers for not selling the right stuff (heating or cars) is the wrong approach and doesn't drive demand. Supporting initiatives to make these things more attractive than the incumbent offerings is the way forward.

                  Looks like the Trump honeymoon period for Tesla stock may be over too.
