The air con in my van is very nice.

It costs less to use it on a MPG basis than opening the windows of the van.

Try that with an electric Leaf:-)

our village doesn't have any street lights

[spuorgelgoog]

But does the filtration eradicate the whiff of apprentice?

I wonder how long before people breaking into street lighting columns for free lecky for charging results in electrocution.

Should have stuck to gas lights

[Scott]

Does it have a 30mph speed limit?

[Steve Walker]

What? For CNG cars?

Is that a "meter man" to the right pondering on how to book the car for sideways on parking?..

[charles]

mostly. It was asked for by the Parish Council in 1935 and happened in

2001!

I'm gazing into my crystal ball and seeing christmas lights.

Sometime around 2024.

So 60 to 90 miles if you use the battery to depletion (which of course you won't)

Like I said, a toy.

EVs may well become usable - Give em 250 usable miles in any weather, and the chance to add another 100 miles in 10 mins at a refuelling station and I would expect most people would be able to cope.

Now all you need do is build the nukes to power it all.

[John Rumm]

You probably thought that about flares.

[Brian Reay]

10mins to 'refuel' is too long, at least for traditional a 'stop on journey fill up'. Think of a traditional petrol station, it takes a couple of mins to fill yet there can still be queues. Increase the fill time to 10 mins and there'd be chaos.

The tree huggers will love that.

I drive a hybrid- I'm no tree hugger, I liked the car and it fits our usage pattern, I rarely charge away from home. Most local driving is all electric but I know, on a long journey, I'll be running on petrol most of the time.

[harry]

And what would that be?

[harry]

How many parked cars need to be refuelled?

[harry]

How often do you make a journey of even fifty miles? Most of my journeys are under twenty miles. Many are less than five.

If I want to go further, it's one reason to get the Roller out.

[harry]

No comparison. No fuel tanks, no fuel deliveries, so a charging point can be installed anywhere.

[harry]

Flares are for sailor boys sweetie.

[harry]

From fossil fuel to power on the road, an electric car uses around a quarter of an ICE car. Even less with the new gas fired power stations (Not a practical option using methane as a car fuel either)

[harry]

You can. There is a transmitter on the keyring. But it increases the charge time.

[harry]

The U value of electric cars is good. . It's all been thought of Adam.
