Asking people why they would not own an electric car, 47% said that they are too expensive to buy or own, whereas 31% said that there are limited charging points. 

Another 22% said that they do not have a place to charge it at home. Asking for other reasons, some said that they are not yet feasible and/or sustainable.

Others touted a lack of planning by the authorities to improve the quality of the traffic system or even a lack of mechanics that work on electric cars.

MCAST Students Demand Action From Government

Jan 18 2024 Share

MCAST students are giving the Government until tomorrow to reach an agreement with teachers before staging a protest. The Union and the government have yet to find common ground, leaving students’ marks in limbo.

In a recent Facebook post, Jordan Galea Pace highlighted the struggle MCAST students are facing. With no agreement between MUT and the government, students are left uncertain about their graduation and future progress.

The Swieqi local council candidate and student, Jordan Galea Pace, emphasised the unfairness of students getting caught in the middle of prolonged negotiations. Acknowledging teachers’ two-year struggle for better working conditions, he called for a swift resolution to ensure students can continue their education seamlessly.

A protest is scheduled for Friday at 12 pm.
