Well it sez a 93 mile range which I suppose would suit me a lot of

My round trip working tommorow will be 110 miles. Monday's is around
240.

Then buy an Ampera

That only makes 25 to 50 miles on battery. The *up to* 310 miles comes
from an on board petrol generator.

Plenty of people have a regular commute less than 25 miles, but need
more range often enough that a pure electric car isn't enough.
But at around £30000, you could buy a cheaper ordinary car and a lot
of petrol.

Prices will come down for sure as the competition hot up. What you save on
petrol over a year will go a hell of lot towards the cost.

Don't worry the guvvermint will soon find a way of taxing that power
perhaps we'll see AC and DC "fuels" and differing rates of taxe on
them;!..

Battle of the currents all over again..


It is NOT £30K
to buy.

Ordinary cars are complex, and prone to breakdowns, while the Ampera is
simple.


If you say so .. that may have been true when Red Robbo lorded it at BL
all those years ago, but these days?..
