The Natural Philosopher ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

Nobody's going to buy an electric car without recharging stations
widely available.

They are. Its called a 13A socket in your house, and an extension
lead.

And yet electric cars are touted as the solution for cities.

Where you're often doing well if you can park within a street of your flat.

The VAST MAJORITY ofpeople do NOT exceed 200 miles in a day for most
journeys. That is EASILY catered for on overnight charging at 3KW.

For the rest, you need fast charge electricity substations.

Oooh. Nice cheap infrastructure. Not.

Because unless you are doing 200 miles you never need to visit one.

Millions of people DO do that distance daily. Or more.

All trtis

? trips?

are to and from your house by and large, or someone elses.
Or the supermarket - charge in an hour while you shop.

Yours might well be. Mine aren't.

What's this 500mile capacity battery going to weigh? A ton?
Literally?

50 miles, probably. But there won;t be much esle of any weight in an
elecric car.

Right. So the impact resistance WILL be thrown out the window, then?

Where's all this electricity going to come from in the first place?

Nuclear power stations.

Bwahahahah
