I have found the "solution"

I read of someone that restored an old trolley bus. To power it, he tows a trailer with a diesel generator. It is still legally classed as an electric vehicle, and he legally uses red diesel to power the gennie.

So the solution to the range issue is tow a trailer with a diesel genny running. Not even any emissions test needed.
Clarkson, May, and the hobbit, just put the Genny in the back of their electric van, :)

 
Around my way, when housing is being built there ins't enough parking per unit as it is and some flats have to use parking in the town centre car parks ......... so will all new homes be made to have charging points as of 2018? What about people who don't have off street parking? 

My misses could easily have an electric car - her longest "usual" journey is to her parents about 40 miles away - and we and them have off street parking..........the rest of her journeys are well under 10 miles - BUT at work (NHS hospital) there are so many staff, they park in an unlit lot - so this needs to be thought about too.

In balance there are definitely some merits for this push, but Governments and parties of all colours need to agree a cross party long term strategy............................................ now that would be novel.

 
Well it seems someone's happy 


Except the DNO's  who want to know where all these points are so they don't cripple the network......

One thing is that a lot can happen 23 years, a lot has happened in the last 23 years so who knows what may happen we could all be driving Donald Trump cars powered with pidgeon-poop by then.

:C

 
I wonder if our rulers are now aware of how much oil is left and this is the start of new thinking .

And how important will  Saudi Arabia be when the oil is gone ? 

And I trust Trumpton will be a distant nightmare by then .  I probably won't be around to see it anyway.

I doubt fart will be around to see many of his madcap ideas come to fruition.

 
Bloody dangerous carrying stored hydrogen if you ask me. We want to be filling our tanks with water and having point of use production into hydrogen. 

Of course figure that one out and you'd have an "accident"... 
ever seen a battery fire? Most battery technologies use materials that generate oxygen when damaged ie self propagating, so 1 cell cathces fire then sets fire to the next and the next....
