Im sorry Acid, but electric cars are simply not the future. They are just the buzz word at the moment that conveniently fits with the whole 'green' image.
Why aren't the future? They are in the EU 2050 road plan and that is what all the infrastructure is gearing up for, where all the grants are going. There's also no issues with them, they can accommodate everyone's driving distances, despite what some of you think.
Now let's compare that to alternatives like hydrogen, any infrastructure? Any million pound grants for infrastructure? On any of the road plans that have been agreed to? Any car manufactures selling commercial products, let alone pretty much all the major manufactures.
