For most of my driving needs an electric car is just what I need right now... I'm not sure about the regular 300 mile round-trip I do to Somerset and back just yet but time and progress will see that good too...
We live in interesting times...

I got a giggle out of this video:white exec wrote: Tesla deserve an international award for much of this, but we can still expect a backlash from Big Oil. Trump's appointment yesterday, I think, of an Exxon-Mobil CEO as his Secretary of State shows where things could yet head. None of the oil companies has done less in the way of developing alternative energy than Exxon. The USA has been producing technologically primitive vehicles for decades, which is why so many of their households run European or Far Eastern, and Detroit is now rust-belt. This could be set to continue.

From the days of the stagecoach replacing "spent" teams of horses with fresh ones at coaching inns on the Turnpikes every 8 miles or so. No attempt made to immediately recharge the spent horses so they could go out and do the next 8 miles by forcefeeding oats and hay (viz plugging a car the into a charging station), while travellers waited for the digestion to work and refuel the horses. No just exchange the spent team with a fresh team, and the travellers are on their way again.
At one point Tesla were considering automated fast battery swaps as an alternative to charging on long haul routes - the battery pack in the model S is designed to be swapped in about 2 minutes from underneath using a special robot controlled jig/machine that undoes all the bolts at once and drops the battery down and there is apparently one proof of concept station in the US that will do this.NewcastleFalcon wrote: I've been no stranger to the horse analogy myself, and a support structure for electric vehicles based on rechargeable cartridges produced and distributed on an industrial scale, and spent cartridges exchanged for fully charged ones when the car pulls into the refuelling station.

I think that's actually a Humber Sceptre..........................no you could be right the Sceptre I think had more chrome around the front panels and side lampsmyglaren wrote:Singer Vogue Jim.CitroJim wrote:That Minx (or is it one of its posher siblings?)

I think it improves it - the old Hillman 1725 engine was nothing special...
I had an elderly lady client who drove one like Stirling Moss - she was very quick and capable. As was the car, very comfortable too.
That keeps the horse analogy going nicely with the "electric horses' pulling into the stalls for a feed!Mandrake wrote: Whether the number of stalls would scale up to a large number of electric vehicles being on the road so that you weren't waiting for a charging stall is another question of course!
