The industry (as was many at the time) was privatised to reduce the effect the unions could have and the result - a distinct lack of strike action and disruption following privatisation.
Simples!
However, this thread has drifted slightly from the original post - I do not think I will be investing in either an electric car or bike. The cost will be stupid and not just in pound notes. It will be public transport for me after the last infernal combustion engine goes..........

But what will that public transport be using for power?
And if everybody does the same how many buses and trains will be needed at peak times?
Public transport will never be a feasible option, when I am on the early shift I leave home at 4.45am and never see a bus!

Do you plan to be working in 2040? I don't  :rollin :rollin :rollin
As for power, public vehicles (buses, refuse etc) went to LPG years ago in Spain (Madrid I think) in a bid to reduce the pollution.
In the larger cities, Trams are being re-introduced (electric).
It is a shame that the same policies seem to be ignored in this country.
