We need better batteries and faster charging but Tesla have made a lot of progress in only 5 years here and we've given ourselves a timeline of 23 years. What's more is that it's the direction the industry is moving with more and more manufacturers moving their models to electric engines.
Well said Damien. The motor industry will plough £tens of millions into the development of battery power if another technology hasn't succeeded it by then (it may have already for all we know).

You owe it to yourself to remove your 'Remoaner' title. You are forward-thinking and positive and not trapped in the past.
