My Mrs said she wanted one of those cars with a big battery. I bought this About as environmentally friendly when you take into account the heavy metals in the batteries And it'll tow one of those when the batteries run out Do they play an engine sound through an outside speaker to make you feel manly?
Why don't they put electric contact rails in the roads like scalextric? Then we wouldn't need those heavy, expensive and rather useless batteries.
I think the hybrids are pretty good now. The leaf seams to be doing well. Do you still have to rent the batteries?
My bro has just got out of a hybrid Lexus co car with a millionty one miles on it after three years. Batteries were screwed and replaced by Lexus a few months ago at God knows what cost and he now gets massively better mpg from his diesel 3 series
I'd imagine because it would cost hundreds of billions of pounds for technology that might be superceeded. Car ownership for the individual is dead. If you could have a car available for when you need it, where you need it mankind could turn back the environmental clock a hundred years....at the moment we all own cars that we use for maybe 2 hours out of each 24 each day...so hundreds of millions of potential journeys go to waste each day in the name of 'liberty' as the things sits on the road or driveway doing literally nothing.
4 months on and I love the leaf, super quiet, comfortable and I've not been beaten at the lights yet. 0-40 is rapid. As a second car, I wouldn't have one as our only car, its great and about 2.5-3p a mile it's hard to beat around town.
Where have all the old electric milk floats gone? On these new battery cars does the owner now need public liability insurance to cover trip over cable hazard?
