    DFDS Amsterdam to Newcastle

    I was looking on the Internet for a ferry to the UK for Christmas to be with my sister in Durham. The ferry from Amsterdam to Newcastle price for one person and a car is 1300euros.

    Have electric vehicles been "oversold" to the detriment of public transport, walking and cycling?

    Well said. Long distance driving is impossible with an ev. I t would take me ages to see my family in England, having to charge every 200kms. Also I live I a town where I don't have my own parking space. I have to park where there is a space. It would be impossible to charge an ev unless every...
