  1. Pushing the date forward means there preparing to cut infrastructure spending on charging The reason the date matters is 80% of people buy second hand and it puts the 2nd hand market tying the less well off to fossil vehicles The other big change was ditching housing insulation targets for Landlords this loads all the cost of a draughty rental on tenants, the standard was p1ss poor anyway it was only to C+ New houses and extensions need to be built to A+ Insulation Standard have a large heat store (Hot water tank) Underfloor heating installed + preferably Thermal solar to be heat pump ready or compatible with a heat pump system We are still building new houses that are NOT heat pump compatible Heat pumps in general are NOT suitable for older buildings see above for corrective work to make them so if you HAVE to go electric focus on insulation as high as you can with focus on the floor (20%) + Windows then look into Infra Red Radiators

  2. There improving all the time some makers such as Tesla & Nissan have many years in the field there expecting to get 3-400,000 out of the new Tesla's not seen how nissan are doing but I'd expect to see 3rd party replacements as the market mature

  3. Infrared heating is a method for heating materials that uses electromagnetic waves to transfer energy from the infrared source to the product without heating the air in between. The emitted infrared energy is between 0.7 microns (µ) and 6 µ. At peak efficiency, wavelengths are selected for the product to be heated to minimize energy usage. They Heat Objects not the air, conventional Radiators work on Convection, Underfloor is radiant. Twinned with A+ insulation they are probably your best bet for older properties @rogerphelps9939
