Default Electric cars a step nearer mainstream?

Hasn't diesel caused a huge soot problem? they emit a lot more
particulate matter?

Not these days. Perticulate emissions have been VERY tightly controlled
in the last couple of rounds of Euro emission standards.

When they're new.

Even with excellent servicing they are smelly in only a few months. I
wouldn't inflict the particulates of a diesel engine on anyone.

Seems to me that I more often find myself following a really stinky
diesel vehicle these days than ever before. Probably because where DERVs
used to be almost exclusively vans, lorries and buses there are now lots
of cars.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
