Default So that's why all this puff about the 'hydrogen economy'

The fact that people have suddenly become as evangelical about electric
vehicles as vegans is enough to ensure I don't waste a second of my life
considering them.


Thank you!! Id be the first to admit the charging infrastructure is far
from mature. The fewer people using it the better for me. ;-)

Seriously, I dont give a toss what anyone else drives but it seems that
many folk are scared of change and will invent reasons why EVs cant
possibly work. The fact is, they do. Whats more theyre so much nicer to
drive (as youll find if you can ever pluck up the courage to test drive
one) that youll find the €śissues€ť that seem so insurmountable from afar
are in fact generally easy to overcome.

Yes, there are issues for folk without off street parking but if you have
off street parking and your own charge point they make a lot of sense.

As I type, my car is 5 minutes walk away on a 7kW free charger. When did
you last get free petrol or diesel?
