That's because back then diesel was cheaper than electricity.

I loved the old trolleybuses, but not the huge infrastructure of overhead cabling they needed. And I drove an electric milk float for a short while (pocket money job) but didn't like the daily battery battery-acid testing and top-ups before putting it on charge for 18 hours a day.

Well there you go, the tech has moved on since the neolithic period so electric will be second nature to you

Of course! They'll also be fitted with ultra-modern "Fellatio" Italian-designed, vertical, drop-down beds so you can have a nap en route.

It's locked in so long as the car is locked. They could screw with it but they could do the same with your tyres now.

Dunno. Like my cars to last a long time but I've just gotten this one so the next car I get should be electric IMO. 2025ish maybe? Who knows, depends on circumstances.

Maybe it might even be a Tesla: https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/model3

i think the tesla is the only one worth looking at at the moment the others have a lot of catching up to do imo .
