Germany....most advanced

Not necessarily the most reliable

Their batteries would probably not catch fire either

    Hydrogen will be the leap forward. Infrastructure, battery technology, and insufficient lithium reserves mean battery power will never become mainstream

    VAG will find a way to fit complex drive belts that need changing every 4 years and DSG that will be ultra reliable.....

    Believe it or not, London congestion charge is not an issue for the vast majority of us living in the UK.

'If only everything in life was as reliable as a Volkswagen'  Or even German Manufacturing,  Or maybe not thankfully.

Even this is well out of date, needs to be a 3 row SUV / EV that does the range they say it will.

So an Atlas, or a Skoda Kodiaq once they sort out VW's & H20 because the 2 are not really compatible.

So much nicer than an e-Up! IMO.  & enough range for a nice run into the countryside. (& back)

Yep - Guy Fawkes night.........pity they didn't get to enjoy it.

Where does all the electricity come from to power all these cars? We are supposedly short of power stations now without this added drain of millions of batteries.

Plenty of sunshine in Oz generally and I guess the reduction of polution in the big cities takes priority with remote generation in say Scotland or Wales perhaps

Hopefully kickstart (pun intended) the electric bike market although the 15% fall in the UK currency since BREXIT vote will eat up most of that I guess, doh !

Just get one of the many noise generator systems that seem to be about.

 

The one on the Clio RS that you can program the car to sound like a Clio V6 or a Nissan GTR or maybe a Jericho siren to help car driver and pedestrians you are coming along the road.....

A cigarette card and a wooden clothes peg.  Oddly I have a similar noise on my Dacia at the moment with a tie wrap  which is too  long and is securing the fake looks like an alloy wheel cover and it makes a similar noise.  Not as good as a set of Micron expansion chambers or a Akrapovic, Dunstall or Yoshimura exhaust but a darn sight cheaper.
