High court rules UK air pollution plans ‘unlawful’
That’s three times the UK government have been defeated over this. Three!
How many more times are they going to end up in court before they actually pull their collective fingers out and do something? For that matter, if what the UK government is doing is considered unlawful, what sort of punishment can we expect them to receive?

You should ask yourself:
How many UK government officials own petrol stocks or how much $$$ are Petrol companies contributing to UK’s political candidates?

miguel agramonte While there is likely some influence there, I think it’s likely to pale in comparison to the fear of the electoral danger of suggesting that people have to cut any driving in the polluted cities by 50% and trade their cars for electric ones.

Art Hutchins What sort of transport do you use? Do you drive a car?
I admit that I would be pretty angry with a politician who forced me to trade my car for an electric in a short time frame. I drive a 1998 Audi and am thus a target for London’s T charge when I drive in, so it might seem that I should be targeted. But doing 4k miles a year, upgrading makes sense neither from a personal or a pollution perspective as the pollution of manufacture should be considered.
Having said that, I am the lead campaigner in my local neighbourhood for electric car charging points and actively pushing the development association to permit/encourage solar roofs.

The only question people need to ask themselves is what do they value more, their health or their addiction to the Fossil Carbon Energy Industrial Complex. Addicts rarely choose their health.

Alan Peery If a campaign were to start to allow people who own cars over 25 years Old that are guaranteed to be run no more than 8,000 Miles per Year, I would consider supporting it. Insurers can already impose a Mileage Tariff which would carry censure/penalties if breached.
As for the “pollution during manufacture” issue,
I’m sure you’ll agree that your Audi was likely manufactured in Germany using predominantly Coal fuelled Energy (as was the prominent fuel powering German Industry of the decades preceding and following the 90’s).
EV’s use far less components and so require less energy to manufacture.
One such system not in EV’s are Brakes. No Brake shoes, cylinders, rods or linkages to a pedal.
I currently drive a Hybrid, and will be changing over to an EV in 2020.

Art Hutchins It doesn’t matter what energy manufactured my current car — that energy, and the pollution it caused, has already happened. What matters is the next car, and the balance between the additional pollution an older car causes versus the pollution over the lifetime of the next car.
While in general you’re right that electric car manufacturer and lifetime pollution is lower, it doesn’t mean that all the old subsystems disappear. Electric cars have brake pads, for instance.

Art Hutchins The one pedal driving mode is interesting.
The car still retains a brake pedal (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/auto-shows/review-2018-nissan-leaf-all-but-eliminates-the-brake-pedal/article36688072/) and probably retains the disc brakes of the 2017 version (https://speakev.com/threads/leaf-first-service-corrosion-on-front-brake-discs.24241/) as regenerative braking techniques don’t seem to be able deliver the full braking power of discs.
