Default More on electric cars.

The market seems to be well off,green minded people who don't travel

inner cities anywhere except for well off people who live in blocks of
flats with their own parking. Which is a shame, because small electric
cars would be ideal for inner city dwellers.


Inner city dwellers €”I am one€” don't really need cars, there are buses
and taxis, and the necessities of life are largely within walking
distance. And these days inner city dwellers are more likely to be young
and economically and physically active rather than old and poor, so even
less excuse to drive everywhere.
