Still a problem as a target for theft or for after pub pranks unless you have a garage.

Currently, and until we have the capacity, the market will remain static, potentially, terminally so.
They cost piles of money, and it's dis charge that will cause resistance.
Still, if you find them exciting, wire not?

Nah wont be an issue, fully charged range is 130 miles... I only do 25 - 35 miles a day most days...

We are gonna have dedicated charging points in the yard...Plug in at the end of the day & it drains back an unused lecy in the batts, which they sell back to the Grid & then recharge the van at a cheaper rate over night...

No ones queried what if theres an overnight power cut tho...

By the time all the cars are electric, I think there'll be a very long queue at each charging point.
The commute might even end up being slower that the train.......
IMHO electric vehicles need to be able to charge up their own batteries as they go, so they won't be a drain on the national grid,

On my leccy bike it has regen when going downhill

:lol: No over taking with the electric lorry then :lol:

Wicky, I can't see a bicycle battery being a huge drain on the national grid, that is if you still need to recharge it at times, which I assume you do,
