    Philippa. If we are doing EV reviews, then why cant we mention electronic opening boot doors? Waste of precious energy and also the weight of a needless motor. Screens on needlessly using energy.. Even electric wndows.. Yes, it has been accepted over the past 30 years to have on any car, but again... when energy and weight are so precious, then why not refert back to the lighter, and may i say more reliable...'Keep fit' wind down windows?

Today I have an electric scooter maintenance workshop, DSBBIKESELETRICAS, in my city and I love this world!

    It would be nice if technology would some time in the future provide us with a potent battery small enough to replenish an empty EV, just like we do with a can of gas today when somebody runs out of fuel.

    I find EVs interesting. I'm an EE by training. There are many good features in regenerating batteries by capturing otherwise lose energy. But I would not want a full EV, instead a range extender or a hybrid tranny is my preference. At least until battery technology and charging means become more common.

      Unless you live in a region with gobs of hydro or nuclear. I own enough land to install solar and store it to later recharge a EV. I also have access to light sweet crude and could use it in an older diesel. I don't want to take the trouble to grow green diesel. Use what works. It's a regional availability game.
