Discussion
As usual PH delivered it's full range responses , some educational, some very informative, the average range of insults .
Personally I have my doubts about the uptake of EVs , many have very little confidence over range and charging times , the time involved to provide a suitable infrastructure to support EVs looks very doubtful under the present systems .
It probably will have no effect on me as ,because of health reasons, my driving life is coming to an end a bit quicker than I expected.
I had thought that hydrogen would have been the alternative fuel for the future but Electric does seem to be the way forward , no doubt the reservations of much of the public will be overcome. Costs are coming down and battery technology is advancing at a fair pace . Charging is the stumbling block and shall be for many years yet .
There is a growing element out in society that wants to see us out of our cars and onto or into public transport. This is fine in towns and cities but out in the sticks it simply doesn’t work and needs a huge amount of investment and a co-ordination shake up .
I freely admit that I am not fully up to date on the latest electric vehicles as I shall never own one , but I am cynical enough to question much of what it spouted by those with a vested intrest .
