Government banning fossil fuel new car sales 2035

Don't see why electric cars won't be able to tow equally as well as any other car. Tesla have a car that tows well apparently. Besides, you'll need to tow a trailer full of batteries if you want to go further than a few hundred miles. :LOL:
 
ride the horse.... theyll probably fine you for littering when drops a load on the road

Apparently all new taxis , certainly in Edinburgh , are electric . Mate , fairly traditional (regressive even) , thinks it's the best thing he's ever driven .
No idea if electric will be the total answer but , it would appear , diesel and petrol are going
 
...and the electricity charges will be variable depending on the time of day. That is why they are 'forcing' smart meters on us.
Just got back at 18:00 from that dirty labouring job you've been dong all day?
Shame because if you have a shower now (in the peak period) it will cost you 3 times as much in electricity costs compared to what it will cost after 21:00 (for example). That goes for cooking your tea and everything else.
They will have to use price to control the surges for demand as they just can't supply all we will need in the peaks going forward; they can only just do it now.

Electric cars will help level out the supply of electricity,you plug in overnight at the cheaper rate,then during the day a percentage of your stored electric is routed back into the grid when demand is high. The massive amount of stored energy helps to iron out peaks and troughs in demand and will stop rolling blackouts that some countries experience regularly. This will give the supply chain the ability to call up extra power in an instant rather than hooking in a power station somewhere in the system that can take a few minutes to come online,which is often too late resulting in loss of power.
 
Once they if ever get the salt silicate battery sorted then the price will drop or level out,mean time they are for the must have right now people.

I admire your optimism.
As you stated though it will be cheaper to charge at night but to make sure we choose that option electric will be prohibitively more expensive during the evening when we need to use it most.
Of course those that can afford it won't need to worry and will possibly be compensated when they sell back the electric from their big battery cars.
Those who are already forced to commute to work on a bike due to the current cost of cars can just shower late at night (or maybe return to times of one shared bath a week?).
It's not the ones who can afford an electric car I worry for it's those who can't afford to run a cheap diesel car now.

So not much different from the current state of society😉
However until such time that we have a complete change in our economic/social model,the poor can at least breath cleaner air.
 
Whats a hundred years ago got to do with electric cars.
Well they started about then,many ladies in the USA drove them because they could not crank start a piston engine,but people said they would not take of along with petrol cars,look how many is on the roads now.
It takes time for folk to get used to new tec like it or lump it.

Not sure if you're saying electric cars were about 100 years ago and if they were that's where they belong.

"Not sure" is your speciality.
Things change, 100 years ago you'd be the guy jumping on your horse and galloping into the distance spouting off about internal combustion engines having no future.
