The Great EV Spin: Petrol Cars Aren’t Dying Out, They’ve Just Hidden Them In The Hybrid Column!
#ElectricVehicles #CarIndustry #MotorTrade
Are petrol cars really dying out… or are they just being reclassified to make the figures look greener than they really are?
In this video I take apart the latest SMMT claims and show why the headline story doesn’t tell the full truth. Yes, “petrol” registrations may be down, but when you look at the rise in HEVs and PHEVs — both of which still rely on petrol engines — the real picture looks very different.
I go through the numbers and ask the obvious questions:
Are petrol cars really disappearing?
Or have they simply been shifted into the hybrid column?
Does the increase in HEV and PHEV sales more than cover the drop in petrol cars?
Why did registrations suddenly jump exactly at half-year and quarter-end?
Is this genuine retail demand, or is there more target chasing, tactical registration and discount-driven activity going on behind the scenes?
Because if the industry is still miles behind the ZEV mandate, and then all of a sudden registrations surge right on cue, people are entitled to ask whether this is a true market trend — or just another carefully managed headline.
This is one of those stories where the headline sounds impressive… until you follow the data.

Hilo Just Got A HUGE Upgrade: Blood Pressure + Sleep + Steps (All-In-One)

here is a link to my video https://youtu.be/JNPBRAdvJA8
here is a link to my voucher which will entitle you to 20% Off the price of the Hilo Monitor and a free 12 Months Subscription to the App which is worth £79.99p

I’ve been using the Hilo blood pressure monitor for years — and it has genuinely helped me control and lower my blood pressure.
Now it’s had a major upgrade.
It doesn’t just monitor blood pressure 24/7…
It now tracks:
✔ Sleep
✔ Steps
✔ Activity
All inside the same bracelet.
For me, the biggest advantage has always been:
• Continuous blood pressure monitoring
• No “white coat syndrome” readings
• Real-world data instead of snapshot readings
And now having sleep and step tracking built into the same app just makes it even more useful.
