Can't wait for you to prove me wrong Paul.
When have I never? :dont know:
Anyway back on topic. If it's not Tesla it'll be someone. Electric cars are now part of our future whether some on here like it or not. They may never fully replace ICE vehicles in our lifetime. But in time they will. Agree we need to continue to invest more in renewables and nuclear. But as the old gammon who deny climate change die off, politics will change and it'll be normed.
Interestingly the taxi which took me to Heathrow last Saturday was a Tesla. He loves it. 300 miles between charges. A fast charge takes 45mins, during such he takes a break anyway. All his servicing is covered under a single charge. The customer service is the best he's ever known. And so long as he uses a Tesla charging station, so is the electricity.
If I was in the market for a brand new car I'd certainly consider one.
As for long distances. I've done plenty of road trips across Europe and I've yet to see a fuel stop take less than 45mins when you account for large group 'faff' time and the bladder control of the over 40's :wink:
And I'd happily take an extra 20 mins for a stop if I was in my own, if the charge is free :thumb:
