This "let's go electric to save the planet" is all very noble, but the cars themselves have gotta get much much much much cheaper!! Great if you've got the money, but you can't preach at the masses and try and force them to buy something they can't afford....or walk or whatever. Yeah, right. This is the 21st century, people are SUPPOSED to have personal mobility solutions, not be told to go back to the horse and cart or walk or ride a bicycle! Jeez.

the other thing that makes me uncomfortable with BEVs is the weight. I simply don't like the idea of carting round an extra half ton of batteries. All the extra energy to do so (even if, at the moment, it's cheaper than petrol), and the knock-on effects on bigger tyres, brakes, bushes, and the pollution you get from particles from those as they wear...it's all a lot more complicated than "buy an electric car, be green". As I said in my previous post, I'm cynical. I don't believe what I'm told simply on face value....
