GB News guests debate using electric cars in 2022<\/h3>\n

Electric car owners have been unable to park at a historic nature spot after an apparent blunder by the local council.<\/p>\n

EV owners have been left baffled by a sign which clearly states vehicles over a certain weight limit cannot stop in the area.<\/p>\n

The message states that vehicles over 1,524kg (1.5 tonnes) would not be accepted, preventing almost every electric vehicle from using the bays.<\/p>\n

The sign is located in the picturesque Eaton Park just three miles from Norwich City Centre.<\/p>\n

The mistake was spotted by electric car owner John Fielding while on a walk earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the issue, Mr Fielding commented: \u201cWhat have the council got against electric cars?”<\/p>\n

Complicated battery technology installed in electric vehicles makes them a lot heavier than traditional petrol and diesel models.<\/p>\n

Experts at BeCharge warn the Tesla Model 3 has a total weight of around 1,600kg and would therefore be unable to use the car park.<\/p>\n

The popular Nissan LEAF weighs 1,580kg while the plush Tesla Model X is around 2,400kg.<\/p>\n
