Only if we all started at once. What will really happen is it will take decades for everyone to take them up, and the substations will be gradually upgraded. And since the electric companies are making a lot more money, they can spend that on the transformers.
So the f****it electric company had no breakers to protect the substation. Figures.
Can they tell the difference between green and red electrons or something?
"Large capacity boot", at which point a woman inserts ONE carrier bag of shopping, filling the entire boot. Useless.
I won't be buying one using current battery technology. Current recharg= eables last 4-8 years. Less than a car's life. Useless. And at 3 gran= d for a set, f*ck that.

FOR SALE BY OWNER. Complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica , 45 volumes.=
Excellent condition, =A3200 or best offer. No longer needed, got married, wife knows everything.
Well shit-fer-brains, you don't suppose electric cars are not fitted with range remaining and battery charge condition instruments? If so you must be really brain dead.
All I have to go on is the instruments fitted to the car. The battery "fullness" indicator hasn't changed much on the regular journeys I make. The "pips" disappear at the same places on a journey that they always have.
I always charge the battery at optimum time/conditions.
I am retired so I can plug it in at any time.
There is no road tax to pay on electric cars.
So they aren't selling then.
If they are so good then why would a dealer need to offer
£129 pm over 24 months + option to buy + fees of ~£7k to sell an £18k car?
How does that stop their number plates being read by an APNR system you shit for brains geriatric, or are you going to claim that electric cars have special ones that cannot be read by an APNR camera. You seem to be losing the ability to think logically ,Alzheimer's getting worse?

No but the blue ones are easy to spot. That's when they use E7 'charging' ;-)
I thought petrol and desal cars had similar for their fuel. Does it stop people running out of fuel....
Don't people do a similar thing with laptops and phones.
But I might be charging 1 million mp3 players! I don't want fuel tax on that!
but what they didn't tell you was
"Batteries not included"
:-)

You might find it informative to see if there is a smart phone app for talking directly to the car's diagnostics. My friend with the Leaf found that there is a world of difference between what the in car displays tell him, and what the sensors are actually recording before "processing" by the car.
When you have an electric car, you develop a condition known as range anxiety.
T The cars instrumentation displays as much as it measures. So interpretation of the sensors won't tell you anything more. The physical condition of any battery can only be determined by completely charging and discharging the battery and measuring voltages and currents.
I don't know the operational principle of the panel instrumentation, ie instantaneous charge/discharge current, power remaining in the battery and range remaining. It seems to be unconventional.
The instantaneous power is not calibrated and I don't know if it's linear or not. But gives a good indication of what's happening and (un)economic driving.
The range remaining computer is useless.
The power remaining in the battery seems to be spot on AFAICT.
As there is no tax to pay, I can't not pay it can I? Is that hard to understand?
That was always interesting 20+ years ago when getting my 'Tax disk' for my electric car from the local Post Office.
I would hand over my paperwork (renewal form and insurance cert) and get given a tax disk. No cash, no MOT and that raised a few eyebrows. ;-)

The suggestion was that the ANPR systems could be used to charge for road use or as a mechanism to charge more for the use of electric vehicles in the future as taxing an additional amount on their energy from various charge points and separating that from other electric used in a home seems to be difficult, though as electricity is already delivered at different tariff from different meters I suppose you could have a dedicated one. Nothing to do with what Road tax is charged. It seems that you no longer have the power to think rationally. No doubt you were once a skilled engineer as the odd sensible posting that still emanates from you shows, probably quite an interesting chap as well with you experimentation and probably a bit of a laugh. But your age is destroying all that, Your OT postings show a desire to crave attention , maybe the onset of aged related illness and the personality change to a mean minded,argue to the death even when you are obviously wrong,miserable git means nobody can be bothered to socialise with you in normal life.
