I'd never buy a non-turbo diesel as my only car, if wanted a workabout
2nd vehicle maybe I'd consider an bombproof old diesel ...- Vote on answer

Been here for years.
No it isn't.
They are good as temporary storage for, e.g., regenerative braking, but practically useless as primary storage.
higher charge/discharge rates are possible but energy density is much lower.

I would expect so... as a rate payer I would want to see a costed breakdown to make sure they do not have a higher TCO than a diesel. I have no interest in whether they promote a "green image" for the council. (since they are generally far from green!)
Don't think you are aiding the image of EVs with the milk float argument...
Probably yes... do the benefits make up for the massive price premium for the vehicle?
The technology is "ok" at best. However, unless backed by either better battery technology (and that would need to be an order of magnitude better), or a nationwide exchangeable battery system *and* a very significant expansion in nuclear generation capacity, they are pretty much pointless for the time being.
Right now petrol/diesel we have, spare generation capacity we don't - so pure EVs can't be adopted in any serious numbers.
Greenwash...

See below...
If that so then what if I want to make a long trip to Scotland from southern England or heaven forbid travel some distance around Europe how will that pan out in practice without waiting hours for recharges?..
When one might ask will they be in the showrooms;?..
At a reasonable competitive price compared with conventional cars?..
Well make up your mind if its an electric car or not?..
That engine if it does really exist and can be produced may well be more efficient then the existing but its hardly an electric car is it?..

Nobody seems to have spotted a major flaw with electric vehicles. If you run out of charge you are buggered - you couldn't push it because of the weight - with an ICE you could walk to the nearest garage with a can.

In the days when milk floats were common, it was also common to see them being towed home. And the likely reason was they had run out of power.

Just being sarcastic in answer to some one wanting such mileage on an electric vehicle that you do not usually get on normal vehicles.

They never actually stop then? Are you dribble?
And? This somehow prevents it running out of power?
