Well i have an Electric car which i use in town running grandkids to school,nursery and doing hospital and shopping trips for family members.I have had it nearly three years and it has cost me nothing to tax nothing for fuel and is great to drive in town ,great turning circle,quiet and has needed nothing but tyres and wiper blades.
I had until recently a 350 which i used for week ends and days away for me and the missus.I am a car person and love a sports car and will have another when we can once again go somewhere.
So i think it's horses for courses,long distance in electric is a slow process as charging is slow and chargers too few and far between (at least where i am)to make it a relaxing trip,but no doubt it would help pollution in cities.
