Good morning Wraymond,

Thank you for your helpful and so eloquently delivered feedback. It is always a great pleasure to be considered worthy of direct feedback by the good and the great. Equally, it has always been a source of great shame to me that I lack the sophistication, knowledge and wisdom to understand some of the more complex issues and associated posts. Nevertheless I shall of course strive to raise my standards.

Do you have authoritative scientific sources for the suggestion 'No vehicles over 7 years old on the road' (other than Nigel Farage and chums!)? I was under the impression that EV batteries these days have a projected life of 15 to 20 years and that they do not need to be 'deconstructed' at reaching 80% of maximum capacity. If so, the majority will outlive the cars to which they are fitted.

The Leaf was launched 11 years ago and many are running on original batteries. I also understand that battery technology has advanced rapidly in the last 11 years.

Thank you.
