EVs Are “Normal” Now? Then Why Do They Need £10 Billion In Discounts? #ElectricCars #EVs #ZEVMandate SMMT says Britain’s electric car market has gone from “niche to normal”. But when you look past the headline, the story is not quite as convincing. Yes, there are now far more battery electric cars on sale. Yes, EV registrations have grown massively since 2016. And yes, manufacturers are now offering electric cars across almost every part of the market. But here is the problem. SMMT’s own article admits that natural demand still lags ambition. It also says the industry has provided more than £10 billion in discounts since 2024. So if EVs are now “normal”, why do they need billions in discounts? If the public has naturally embraced them, why are they still missing the government’s ZEV mandate target? And why are hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full EVs all being bundled together under the nice friendly word “electrification”? In this video, I look at the SMMT’s “niche to normal” claim, the figures behind it, the discounting, the ZEV mandate pressure, and why availability in the showroom is not the same thing as genuine consumer demand. Because a market being forced by regulation is not the same as a market being chosen by customers.

High blood pressure is often called "The Silent Killer" because many people have no idea they have it until serious damage has already been done. In this video, I share my personal story of discovering that my blood pressure was high, the unusual symptoms I experienced, and how making changes to my lifestyle helped me regain control. I also explain why I started using the Hilo blood pressure monitoring bracelet and how tracking my blood pressure trends over time helped me understand which habits appeared to help and which didn't. This is not medical advice. It is simply my personal experience and the lessons I learned from monitoring my blood pressure over several years. In This Video: ✔ Why high blood pressure is called the silent killer ✔ The risks of uncontrolled hypertension ✔ The symptoms I experienced ✔ How I discovered my blood pressure was high ✔ Lifestyle changes that helped me ✔ My experience using the Hilo blood pressure bracelet ✔ Why tracking trends can be more useful than occasional readings High blood pressure can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, vision problems and dementia.
