But with petrol you could carry a can in the boot. However I am gratified by your expression of support for the private sector capitalist business model.
I quite agree. The Lib Dems got a rude awakening when they found themselves in coalition
How else can she tell you you're going the wrong way.
I remember fitting one.
That was the dip switch on one of my early cars Riley 1.5

Remember the Ford 100Es with vacuum operated wipers.

You youngsters don't know how lucky you are.
I bought one of those 2nd hand. It did have the heater, but no radio.
They all have ban blown cooling
Simple. She is never wrong and possessed of supernatural powers
Is that worse than many of the respondents here who live in the past and claim to speak for the future? It?s obvious that the majority of anti-EV comments are coming from folk who have never owned nor driven one.

Out of the battery cooling system.
Do you really think that manufacturers haven?t thought about this?
Tim
How did that work? Vacuum wipers yes. Washers though...
Tim
Yes, he probably does think that.
The ignorance of the general public about how hardware design is done is almost absolute.
You?ll have to explain that one. Mine are liquid cooled.

It is quite correct that I have never driven one. However, I was all set to buy one in October and went to a dealer to see one. It was when the dealer told me that the advertised mileage - 245 miles range - was in the real world only 185 (25% reduction) that I started looking seriously at the drawbacks. I had thought that I could ignore these range restrictions and hire an IC car for the long journeys - then I discovered that hiring a car if you are 80 is problematic and expensive. I'm going to have to wait for range improvements before I buy. I'm not against them, but ATM there isn't one that suits my needs. For the last 50 years, my main specification in a car is that I can drive from Surrey to Edinburgh in a day without effort.
What I'd expect, given the high cost. Even a low priced cordless drill does the same now.
EV batteries are liquid cooled. My MB hybrid has a dedicated cooling system and part of the pre-heat on a cold morning is to get this up to temperature
Explain how the USA Ford F150 pickup truck had its fuel tank mounted just under the doors so that a T-bone impact created a fireball ?. How hard did the manufacturers think about that ?.
The cooling fan on my charger is for the charger electronics. It is not vented to the batteries.
Quite. Many offer a decent warranty on the battery pack. They're hardly going to do that if it is easily abused?
