The newspaper headline that Volvo is to cease production of internal combustion engine (ICE) only cars by 2019 raised awareness of their impending demise even more than the announcement by the French Government banning production of ICE cars by 2040 and India’s plans to ban sales of ICE cars from 2032. However, there’s no need to panic says ElectrAA founding member Dan Wild
Now our own government has announced that no new ICE cars will be able to be sold after 2040. With the uptake of EVs growing exponentially, this target will probably be met way ahead of that date.
A new report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, a research group, suggests that the price of plug-in cars is falling much faster than expected, spurred by cheaper batteries and aggressive policies promoting zero-emission vehicles in China and Europe.

An Inland Coast
It may be hard to believe, but we do have a slice of the seaside right here in Worcestershire. The Flashes, the southern pools of the Christopher Cadbury Wetland Reserve at Upton Warren in Wychbold hold a rare habitat. The underlying salt deposit, the Droitwich halite, was formed around 200 million years ago and subsequent underground brine extraction caused subsidence and consequent flooding. As a result, the saline pools of The Flashes and the salt marsh were born. Wendy Carter, Worcestershire Wildlife Trust’s Communications Manager, tells us more
