how about making them driverless -Im sure that will be a thing in 15 years time.Cos half the fekin world's population is mental...160mph.60mph in 3seconds...Silent apart from a bit of tyre noise....What could Possiblyyy go wrong

Electric cars will eventually add about 5GW to the demand on the grid, but I doubt we'll see that increase by 2030
Yep. A few friends have Prius and my mrs gets similar mpg out of her 435d convertible which is a lot more fun to drive.Depending on how you use your car, hybrid is not necessarily a good choice.
We went over to hybrid for much of our fleet some years ago. Queue a lot of complaints about awful fuel economy.
Basically, our guys do a lot of motorway miles, which don't suit the small petrol engines in the hybrids. We'd have been better off (double the fuel economy) sticking with diesel.
To make Eco Friendly driving to a "Company Car Driver" covering 50K - 90K miles per year could [shall I call it] stretch batteries a wee bit???
it's dangerous for both the driver, and other road users.
Well in the summer in the future on a windless day when all the wind turbines stop the roads will be empty apart from horses and bicycles
Totally agree, but once you are on the roundabout, with good money ??? it is difficult to jump of??
Remember, Company Cars do NOT have Tachographs.
And think of the Company Drivers that are relying on "Commission"??? Or the "Self Employed"???
Glasgow / Leeds / 5 or 6 Hour intense meeting / Glasgow driving each way, in one day, not any more for me, thanks??
I bet they would all be bought by Iran..I saw something somewhere (cant remember) about they are trying to use old nuclear fuels to make batteries from that never need charging, well that would sort the car power out now wouldn't it.
..Lol....usually meetings are a load of sht.Intense my aris5 or 6 Hour intense meeting
You should not be driving if you cannot manage that simplest of tasks.the tesla 3p doing 0-62 in 3.2ish seconds, how can you stick to a 20MPH speed limit in built up areas
If someone is stuck doing that sort of epic milage then battery EVs probably make more sense rather than less. The main problem with EVs is the price at the moment, it's falling fast but still has a long way to go. You need to do a lot of miles to make up for the higher purchase price.just a consideration?
I was a "Company Car Driver" working for a well known Insurance Company, I had a fuel card, a Ford, then a Vectra then a VW. plus loads of "hired Cars" all Diesels, I still drive one [A diesel] albeit a very modern one that can enter the restricted zones free of the charges.
I was charged with covering all of Scotland, yes all of it, including the Islands. Imagine being paid to "tour Scotland"
At the same time I was also covering Northern Ireland and all the post codes around Carlisle. Northern Ireland was a flight and a series of hire cars.
The miles traveled in one day, one week, one month were eye watering.
For such "Company Drivers" the range of Electric Vehicles will have to rise exponentially to make them acceptable under the conditions above.
