Nissan Leaf looks rubbish. I think the Ford electric engines that'll go into the next generation of Fiestas/Focuses might be good though. That's probably more likely for me than a Tesla

If there was an electric mini out already I might have gotten that on lease.

Yep. It's going to be a huge money-spinner: a clean town runabout with street cred and poke.

Fiesta

I know but that doesn't mean they don't tug around at it and damage the car. Car tyres are a tad different from cables hanging out of cars in perfect view which is why I made the point about leaving your car battery on charge in the road outside your house. Try that and see what happens very shortly.

They are developing electric planes, and as carbon fibre is becoming common, they will be lighter.

Another crazy decision by this horrible Government. And falling into the hands of cyclists.

When cycles abide by the law, then l will applaud them.

This ban is just about making money. Nothing else. Are they going to have electric Lorry that depend on diesel.

We have Sadiq Khan bring out out a Toxity Tax for Central London.

My sons father in law bought an electric car, and soon sold it. As it was doing a 100 mile trip, and broke down as there was no charging systems near where he was going.

This again is The Government ahead of themselves. They WILL NOT be in power when this starts anyway.

And before cyclist start saying that l am whining. Within the past few weeks, l have seen so many cyclist go through red lights, No light etc etc.

You are whining. Resistance is futile.

Just wait until more people realise what these cars can do.

We've been using them for 12 months or so and having used them they seem pretty fit for purpose.

http://news.leeds.gov.uk/power-surge...goes-electric/

I heard someone mention a few weeks ago that the plan is to make electric vehicles the default going forward and anything else will require a business case.

It does make me smile when people just seem so opposed to change.

Cheers
