Electric vehicles

Not for me though I’d consider a hybrid because of the improved MPG. Too expensive and too many stories of batteries packing in after 8 years. I have loads of family 300 or more miles from where I live so not too practical either. No way can or should they stop making petrol-engined vehicles in 2030, the country will slowly grind to a halt.

There is recent news of a soon-to-be-viable alternative to the current petrol / diesel fuel which is carbon neutral and runs similar
engines to the current internal combustion engines. There is little work to be done in terms of making slightly different engines to the current ones, so prices should not be altered at all.

This seems to be the future, but obstinate government is determined to put the average citizen in a position of having to fork out obscene amounts of money on technology, infrastructure and running costs.
