New ! Time to Re-Activate, Re-EValuate and Re-Boot a buried gem of a movie:  :
"I (Heart) Huckabees" (2004). Why now ? All will become clear if you read on and watch our wickedly "incendiary" clip montage...

Huckabees Wahlberg EV Carter Cadillac
- Mark Wahlberg crushes jock-macho stereotypes as Tommy Corn - a fiercely green, anti-oil, geopolitically inflammatory, bicycling fire-fighter seeking a much better world - and an all-electric Cadillac.

EVUK Exclusive(yet again !) :  "Spensational" update:  billionaire (Baron) Michael Spencer becomes co-director of Superdielectrics Ltd.
Companies House filing confirms appointment. Full details.

New ! Sssh !  Superdielectrics - Silent Bombshell News:  the Sunday Times(alone) quietly breaks the "supercap silence" :
  "Michael Spencer - the "City of London' s Richest Self-Made Man" - Invests £8 Million in Disruptive UK Supercapacitor Company"
Baron_Spencer_Pomfrey_Times_covered
- Superdielectrics now valued at £250 million
- Sunday Times:  "The Cambridge-based company is eyeing a float in London"
- Read our uniquely detailed report - guaranteed to raise a few smiles and eyebrows too of course...

Joining the dots..by joining the clips.  Click any pic to see the full clip-trip:
St.Trinians Celia Climate ChangeTrinians Tesla Roadster 2009 Frittons Gold
Above  left:    Celia - St. Trinian's very own Greta Thunberg - delivers this clear and very un-movie-like green message in 2009 ..when Greta Thunberg was just 6 yrs old:
Celia:  "Climate change is the most important issue our generation faces. Sea-levels are rising. The ice-caps are melting ".
Above  right:   Tesla Roadster movie debut:  a predictably underrated(too subversive !) 2009 film, "St.Trinian's - The Legend of Fritton's Gold" was also the first movie ever to feature a normal-looking or sinfully cool all-electric car.
And, yes, wind-power, green power and girl power save the day for St.Trinians and saintly Thunberg:
St.Trinians Pirate Ship WindPower GirlPower
Schoolgirl Greta Thunberg Girl and Wind Power Sail on High Seas

And here's one more Tesla-Trinian connection or bond for you to recall or wonder at:   Elon Musk and St.Trinian's "head girl" Talulah Riley married and divorced each other Musk_with_ex-Trinian_Wife_Talulah_and_another_Roadstertwice between 2010 and 2016 - so in the space of six years following the release of "Fritton's Gold".

New ! Tesla v Hyundai
Who's laughing now Hyundai ?

Hyundai-Kona 18600 total vTesla-Elon-Musk 5000 week
Tesla's 5000-7000 Model 3's per week and global delivery

..versus :

Hyundai's derisory, laughable 18,600 Kona EVs for the whole of 2018.

Hyundai-Kona 18600 total vTesla-Elon-Musk 5000 week
Hyundai's original Tesla-teasing billboard should obviously have targeted the world's major car manufacturers:   they all still refuse to produce electrified SUVs and crossovers, only two of their EVs have an official 200+ mile range and what's more - make that less - GM sell the Bolt in just four of the world's 196 countries...and the Zoe ain't for sale in the US.
(Read on...)


New ! Having it Both Ways:  the Global Auto Alliance aka Car-tel Cabal. Square these circles :
Have It Both Ways - EV Canutes

1) "EVs cost too much to produce !"
- versus:
2) "EVs need just a fraction of the workforce to produce compared to combustion vehicles"   "Millions of jobs will be lost globally !"
See:
-Reuters: "Switch to EVs Threatens 75,000 German Auto Industry Jobs"
-Reuters: "Hyundai Union Leader Says EVs Destroy Jobs"    "EVs Are Evil !"
- versus:
- "GM Loses Money on Every Bolt EV"
Have It Both Ways - EV Canutes
  - So someone must be lying or being very uneconomical with the truth - forever dreaming up new pretexts for procrastination or digging up old ones to stem the growing tsunami tide of change - King Cabal-Canute-style.
(...and all-too predictably no journalists/commentators seem keen to highlight the glaring, truth-exposing self-contradiction)
Have It Both Ways - EV Canutes
See: VW Brand Chief Vows to Boost(almost triple) gasoline SUV Sales".  As does BMW - using the handy, have-it-both-ways excuse highlighted above  ie. 'cos EVs cost so much to produce - what with having to pay so few workers to produce 'em, n'all....



June 18 2018:
Breaking (Collusion) News :
"Audi CEO Rupert Stadler Arrested, VW Confirms"
From BMW Raid to Global Alliances aka Car-tel Cabals - the Ugly Truth will out.
Two (exclusive/elusive) video refreshers:
- Redacted Tonight's satirical take and take-down. Watch TV clip :
Alliance_of_Automobile_Manufacturers_United_Voice_Cabal
Recall(April 2): Global Auto Alliances, Assocs aka the "united voice" Car-tel Cabal own the EPA - overturn emissions and clean car legislation.  Even the Wash Post is unimpressed..

- Boom & Bust's un-Redacted BMW Raid Wrap - for all those who've forgotten - or never knew - that a raid by EU investigators ever happened. Watch TV clip :
RT_BoomBust_BMW_et_al_EU_raid_anti-trust_collusion_etc.jpg
Redacted side-split:   amusingly, the BBC did not report the October 2017 raid on BMW offices until 5 months later in March 2018(!) - and then reported it as if it had just happened.. with the raid date rudely redacted.


Re-View ! "Go Slow!"
The Coalition of the Unwilling - the 'cartel-cabal' - crawls out of the shadows..yet the world's media stays largely silent.
But it's official(Elektrek etc):
Global auto cabal still pressing China to slow down EV advances.

Below:   two videos of two wickedly disruptive EV advances that the cartel-cabal(and others) still don't wanna see happen...

Lexus 2054 The Lexus 2054 all-electric sports car. The Supercar-Star of the Spielberg film 'Minority Report' achieves an impressive 0-60 in 4.5 secs and has a top speed of 90 mph. Unlike the plot of this Sci-Fi film - the Lexus is Science Fact now - anno 2002. Not 2054. Forget 'futuristic' - this is future now technology.


...nor a milk float

The Nissan Altra Looks that speak for themselves. Slick, state-of-the-art, stealth..and just 1.50 for a 120 mile charge. You do the math(s)! - you can be sure the Treasury already has! The mainstream motoring media give it near- rave reviews ...
NOT AVAILABLE IN $6-a-gallon EUROPE!!

Real, long-range EV's available/'test-able' in the US - of course unheard of in the UK/Europe:

: Solectria Sunrise* - 373 miles per charge. ('mpc') (cost - 3.50)
: GM EV1 - 225 mpc.
: Nissan Altra EV - 120 mpc..
: The Xebra Roadster EV - 100 mpc.
: Ford Ranger EV - 100 mpc.
: DaimlerChrysler Epic Minivan - 100 mpc.This is the electric version of Tony Blair's 'Grand' people-carrier.
: Tzero - 100 mpc. Smacks the phat a!se (US=a!s) of a Ferrari in San Francisco.
: Toyota Rav4 - 125 mpc.

* The Sunrise is So good - no major carmaker will touch it ... BMW/Rover/Alchemy what's the story? What do we owe OPEC (BP, Shell...)? See "EV Campaign"

SCANDALOUS! - NONE OF THE ABOVE AVAILABLE IN $6-a-GALLON EUROPE!!

Please - Ford, Nissan et al: don't just force-feed Europeans with WORTHY but NERDY little eco-shoppers designed to deter mainstream car-buyers!! "TH!NK VAR!ETY, TH!NK CHO!CE!!"

How's about an electric MCC Smart Roadster, "Smart Tridion", PT Cruiser, Ford StreetKa (e-StreetKa?) or an EV'en better Beetle? See Dynasty's "IT" dreamcar.

NEW! But things are looking up - see News for update on the 'e-Ka model' unveiled by Ford...

Please note: Whilst we welcome your feedback and comments, we'd like to stress that the role of EVUK is primarily to raise public awareness and to increase pressure from the public for change: sadly, "real", advanced, long-range EV's have only been made available - and publicized - in the USA and Japan (with the exception of Jersey, UK). So please don't ask us where to buy them in the UK - instead, why not join the campaign by visiting Britain's leading - EVUK-linked - EV Discussion(& Media Watch) Group Electric Cars UK?)

Thought For The Day/Decade
Fuel cell hard-sell and filling station dependency..

Americans, unlike Europeans, have every reason not to question the growing fuel cell hype. This side of the pond, however, you can bet your bottom Euro that every vested interest in sight - taxman, oil-turned-hydrogen fuel-supplier(ie. BP, Texaco, Shell etc.) , 'ICE'-maker and 'ICE' retailer(see 'Glossary') - will frantically connive and collude to keep the price of hydrogen fuel pegged at least as high as that of petrol.

Indeed Exxon, Toyota and GM have since 1998 been openly conspiring - sorry "collaborating" - to ensure that we actually continue to use petrol(!) to power our fuel cell cars. So - there'll be no ulterior motives there then. Europe's drivers have two clear eco -nomical escape routes from this filling-station tyranny:

1) charge-at-home battery EV's like the e-Ka, Altra, Sunrise (see DIY clean electricity Hotlinks) AND....

2) fuel cell vehicles powered by 'home brew', DIY hydrogen - ideally stored as liquid for real range. (Attempts will no doubt be made to ban this option on "safety" grounds).Don't expect the media here to dwell on these fuel cell 'negatives': they will no doubt simply continue to dance to whatever tune the carmakers and car advertisers want them to twirl to....
See also The Economist (24th March): 'The Fuel Cell's Bumpy Ride'
See also: "Fuel cells and the Platinum Problem"

Disagree(and don't work for Exxon)? Tell us why
