My conspiracy theory....

Is that, the big car builders have viable leccy cars ready to sell but while they also build internal combustion engines they, and the oil companies, prefer to keep us paying (in my case) £130 a week in diesel purchases, they offer noddy cars and supercars no-one wants or can afford but the family 5 door with 350 mile range on a fast charge is kept locked away for now

I develop hybrid and electrically powered vehicles for the major manufacturers. If "they" (it's always they isn't it....) had a low cost, production feasible EV they would be rushing it out to market right NOW, (because overnight they would corner the entire EV market in one swoop) and i think i would have heard about it!

What would BMW do with the Hams Hall engine plant then?

Batteries are dead ducks, the very thing holding EV's back


leccy motors yes, but add a super generator to power then
