In the future I expect technology to have improved to make them at least
as good as petrol cars.

Not even possible. In spades with planes.

No one is talking about planes.

Only the stupids like you ignore planes now.

They just need to make the batteries cheaper and last longer

Soorree, fresh out of magic wands to wave.

Apparently others do since thats exactly
whats happened over the last 10 years.

Bull**** it is with the stupid cost of the batterys, how
slow they are to recharge and how long they don’t last.

But doesn't get even close to the price of a tank of
petrol and can't be recharged anything like as quickly.

And it never will - you'll simply have to put up
with waiting 30 mins to "refill" instead of 3.

Nope I wont be stupid enough to have an electric car.

Get used to it.

Get ****ed.

While battery swapping might conceivably get close
time wise, there is no way to stop someone swapping
a good battery for a ****ed one and no way to test
how ****ed a battery is quickly and charge those who
show up with a ****ed battery for the cost of a new one
or just tell them to **** off with their ****ed battery.

Battery swapping is not feasible

Corse it is.

the amount of space required to store them would be
ridiculous and constant swapping wouldn't do the
connectors on the battery or the car any good over time.

That one is trivial to fix.

When everyone has an electric car, they'll find
a way to steal the money from us again.

Not possible when you generate it yourself.

Hah, you think?

I know;.

Road tax will simply go through the roof.

That would be political suicide so wont happen.

You wait and see.

Taint gunna happen. Neither is banning all but electric vehicles.
