“Operators need to be aware of electric vehicle weights, and get their car parks assessed from a strength point of view, and decide if they need to limit weight.”
New electric vehicles are much heavier than the average petrol or diesel car. EV batteries account for much of this, usually weighing around 500kg.
EVs are much heavier than cars manufactured in the 1960s and 1970s, when many car parks were built.
For example, the current Tesla Model 3 weighs 1,672kgs, compared to the 768kg Ford Cortina Mark 1. The Audi E-tron weighs 2,351kg, compared to the 770kg Vauxhall Viva, while even the Nissan Leaf weighs 1,580kg.
The government recently published its Zero Emissions vehicle mandate, which puts restrictions on how many non-EV cars can be sold in the coming years, ahead of an outright ban in 2030. By 2035, four in five miles driven are expected to come from EVs.
Car parks could collapse under the weight of electric cars
Chris Whapples, a structural engineer and car park consultant and the author of the new guidance, told The Telegraph: “I don’t want to be too alarmist, but there definitely is the potential for some of the early car parks in poor condition to collapse.”“Operators need to be aware of electric vehicle weights, and get their car parks assessed from a strength point of view, and decide if they need to limit weight.”

“No Flying by 2050”: Is the World Finally Waking Up to What Net Zero Really Means?
twitter thread highlighed the eye-watering points that the strategy required:
- All airports in the U.K. except Heathrow, Belfast and Glasgow to close by 2030.
- No flying at all by 2050.
- No new petrol or diesel cars by 2030.
- By 2050 road use restricted to 60% of today’s level.
- Food, heating and energy restricted to 60% of today’s level by 2050.
- Beef and lamb to be phased out by 2050.

implosion by stupid
Not quite.
Implosion by sin.
Remember, stupid doesn't make you sin, but sin makes you stupid.
I wonder if they're confusing it with the Labyrinth Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog...?
