Driving to work today it was mentioned that VW had announced that they would stop development on combustion engines around 2024. By then there will be advances in technology which will, no doubt,overcome the distance limitations of a all electric car.

I wondered, though, how the performance of an electric car compares with a diesel.

Example - I tend to corner in a low gear so that I can accelerate once out of it. I've got a diesel and it pulls away sharply out of the bend - which my wife's car struggles to do so.

What is the experience of those with pure electric?

Also, what about heating in winter - how does that work?
